AWARDED
FIRST HONORS
CORNWALL PRECINCT ALSO EX-
PECTED TO RAISE IT'S ENTIRE
QUOTA TODAY

Two of the busiest little places in
the county this past week have been
Potlatch and Cornwall, and as re-
suit of their well-directed energy and
the generosity of their people, Pot
latch is already on hand with it's quota
in the Armenian and Syrian relief
drive, and Cornwall is expected to
come in this afternoon, with all her
colors flying.
According to Chairman Perry there
will not be the slightest difficulty ex-
perienced in raising the balance of
$500 to complete Moscow's assess
ment. The inclement weather has per-
haps prevented a number of persons
from calling at the banks during the
days for free will offerings. Solicit
ors are now to go out, and they an
ticipate only the most cordial re-
spQnse.
Just as the Star Mirror was going
to press, Chairman Perry brought in
the story of Cornwall's noble effort.
With quota of 500, Cornwall as
usual went over the top and brought
in three extra dollars for good meas
ure. The entire sum was collected by
Mylrea Teare, who for three days,
during the most inclement weather,
rode horseback over his precinct to
tell the story of the starving thous-
ands and collect money for their re-
lief.
AS might be expected, the exer-
tions and the signal success of Mr..
Teare have cheered up the chairman
until he is now convinced that his
county is going to do more than it
has been asked to do in the drive.

HIGHWAY DISTRICT
COVERS 81 MILES
THIRTEEN MILES OF ROAD WILL
BE ON DIRECT LINE TO CON-
Meet WITH LEWISTON

In the account which appeared in
Wednesdays Star Mirror of the Gen
esee highway district, number of
errors or misleading statements crept
into the account which, in the opinion
of Ben Bush, a member of the high
way committee, it would be well to
have corrected.
The highway district, which is the
first one to be created in the county,
will serve territory of $4,000 acres,
and the total length of the road to
be constructed is 81 miles, including
laterals. Only about 13 miles of this
highway construction will be on the
direct road to Lewiston, SO the whole
scheme should not be mistaken as one
of constructing road to Lewiston,
an Interpretation which has been put
upon the matter by the Star Mirrors
wording Of the account.
The highway district does not in
clude Moscow and does not attempt
to serve Moscow. This city has the
of which it will soon be
forced by economic reasons to avail
itself, of constructing a highway dis
trict of it's own. In order to connect
with the Genesee highway district on
the direct road to Lewiston, only
about four miles need be built.

LIEUTENANT VERY ILL
Lester Albert Has Undergone Another
Critical Operation in Army
HNSnitaI.

Word has been received by J. N.
Nankervis that his son-in-law, Lieut..
Lester Albert, has undergone this
week double amputation, at Fort
Smelling, Minnesota. Lieutenant AL
bert lies very i'll at the army hospital.
His mother, Mrs. NJ F. Albert of Pay
cite, arrived yesterday in Moscow on
her way to visit her son. She and lit
tie Ethelyn Albert leave tomorrow for
Fort Smelling. Mrs. Lester Albert has
been with her husband for some time.
Lieutenant Albert has recently re-
ceived two citations for bravery from
General Pershing. His Moscow friends
know and are proud of the heroism he
has shown in France, where he suf-
fered severe injuries while in care of
a search light with the company of
engineers.
1t had been hoped that his long ILL
ness, following more than one serious
operation, had resulted in complete
restoration Of health, and it Is deeply
regretted by his hosts of friends that
his condition at the present time is
Tar from reassuring.

REPORT OF MOST PRECINCTS IN
COUNTY Is REGARDED AS
EXTREMELY CREDITABLE

The great mass of detailed work
incident to the closing up of every
drive has kept Chairman Simpson of
the Christmas Red Cross roll call
busy up to the present time, and final
figures have only just now been OBJ
tanned for each precinct in the county.
A total of 1897 members for the 25
precincts is a record of which any
chairman and any county the size of
Latah might justly be proud, as this
number is about 900 in excess of what
it was hoped would be on the record.
AS might have been expected, Mos
cow is in the lead with 1892 members.
The second largest auxiliary is Troy,
with Ais members.
The record of each precinct to-
gether with the captain IN charge of
the drive is given below:

DELEGATION WIRED

CONSTITUENTS REQUEST LATAH
DELEGATION TO VOTE FOR
REPEAL

The attitude of some of the consti-
tuents of G. j. Hugo, representative
from Latah county in the state legis-
lature at Boise, toward the bill which
calls for the repeal of the direct prim-
ary law, was made very plain to Mr..
Hugo today in a telegram which vas
sent to the capital city this afternoon.
" The message which is signed by
men of both parties, namely A. S.
Lyon, G. A. Hagan, F. A. David, M. B..

lows: eve request the Latah delega-
ton to stand pat for the repeal of the

GREATEST CONFERENCE in
HISTORY BEGINS NEGOTIATIONS

The most important and significant
assembling of men ever known in the
history of the world began delibera-
tions this afternoon in Paris when the
peace conference of the great allied
powers gathered to listen to the ad-
dress of welcome by President Poin-
,caire Of France. AS might have been
expected, the French leader showed
the graceful courtesy of his country
men when he paid glowing tribute
to the courage and heroism of forces
which had preserved the most beauti-
full capital city in the world from the
ndestructive force of her unscrupulous
and embittered enemy.
sdiers in France and Germany will be
brought home in as great numbers as
possible at an early date will be read
with joy by thousands of American
citizens who feel that they have en-
adured sufficient separation from mem
bers of their families.
The hope is now held out that Ger
many will be able to reduce her in
ternal disorders sufficiently to war
rant her having a representation at
the peace conference before the ne
sgotiations are finished.
PARASITIC peace conference was
formally opened this afternoon with a
speech by President Poincare of
France. He thanked the allied nations
for having chosen Paris for this i'm
portant work, and praised the valor OF
the allied armies which preserved the
capital of France from the enemy.
Uncle Sam and John Bull Agree.
PARIS.-British war claims, an un-
official presentation of views shows,
are regarded as generally coinciding
with those of the United States delega-
ton There are some minor differ

PARIS.-President Wilson will avail
himself of the first opportunity be-
tween the meetings of the peace del
egations to visit the devastated reg
ions of France.

INFLUENZA SEEMS
TO HAVE ABATED
ALL GRADE SCHOOLS OPEN
TUESDAY MORNING BECAUSE
NO NEW CASES REPORTED

There will be school in all grades
lin the city on Tuesday morning.
This decision so momentous to hun
dreds of boys and girls in Moscow was
reached last evening at a meeting of
the school board, together with City
Health Officer DR.. W. A. Adair and
DR.. Boyd of the health committee of
the city council.
Upon the statement of DIR. Adair
that no new cases of influenza had
been reported to him during the week
and that. there were only three homes
in the city in which previously men
toned cases were still on record, the
board voted to open all the school
rooms, exercising every possible pre-
caution to prevent a new outbreak
of the disease.
All rules and restrictions with ref
erence to public assemblages are to
he enforced until it lis ascertained
what the results will be of opening
school to all the little children.
No pupils of the district are to be
permitted to attend public gather
1ngs of any kind.
The board wishes, through the col
umns of the Star Mirror, to request
parents @ of school children to observe
the health of their children carefully,
especially of the smallest ones, and
to keep them home from school if
they show even the slightest indispo
sition.
The members carried on an inter
esting discussion as to whether it
would be advisable to complete the
full years work in the grades. Sap
erintendent Rich explained that by
keeping up the sessions until July 1,
the assigned work for the nine months
could be completed The matter of
1engthening the school day and in
creasing the number of sessions by
holding school on Saturdays was also
considered. No definite action was
taken in regard to either measure.
The board is very desirous of hear
ing an expression of opinion on the
part Of the patrons of the school, as
to yhether it would be desirable to
hold school on Saturdays or begin
earalier each day in the week.

RED CROSS FINANCES FOR YEAR.

That the Latah county chapter of
the American Red Cross has during
the past year been a very important
business concern, handling sums of
money which many a mercantile es-
tablishment would be glad to measure
up to, is shown by the careful report
given below of the finances of the
various branches throughout the
county. The figures were furnished
by Mrs. William Hunter, who has for
the past year been secretary of the
chapter. They are compiled up to
October 1, 1918.
In addition to the yearly figures,
the secretary has furnished the state
ment that on the first of December
the county branches had to their
credit $12,6O1.21, and Moscow had
$4000.18, total of $16,601.39. Since
this time practically the only money
paid into the treasury has come from
the membership drive of Christmas
week Twenty-Five per cent of the
money SO gathered goes to the local

BRILLIANT WORK
OF VARSITY TEAM
IDAHO WINS BY SCORE OF 81 TO 19
IN GREAT BASKETBALL
GAME

Although basketball fans of Moscow
were deprived last night of the chance
to attend the game at the university,
the evening was not one of unmitigat-
ed gloom for before 10 o'clock the
whistle that stands for victory was
rousing all Moscow to a cheerful, con-
gratulatory mood Those who had the
privilege of witnessing the game say
that the team work of the Idaho boys,
who made a score of 81 to 19 against
Spokane university, was almost per-
feet. Coach Bleamaster has a splendid
team this year, and the way in which
his men scored regularly is an indi-
cation that the season ahead will be
an extremely brilliant one.
The lineup was as follows:

chapters treasury, the rest being sent
to headquarters and never appearing
on the books of the Moscow chapter.
1t will be observed in an exam1na-
tiof1s of the records that every precinct
in the county has done remarkably
well, and too much credit can not be
paid for their excellent work
to the many small auxiliaries, which
worked under a great handicap. The
people of Moscow realize that because
of their greater number and because
of their being headquarters for the
chapter, it is much easier for them to
raise money and carry on drives for
contributions than it is in communi-
ties where the people live far apart
and where no convenient assembling
place can be provided. In view of the
difficulties they encountered, the
showing made by the auxiliaries is
remarkable.

chapter are made clear in the follow

NO NEWS FROM BOISE TODAY
Legislature Takes It's Accustomed
Weekend Holiday.

= Apparently the Idaho legislature
now in session does not intend to run
any mental risks by indulging in the
all-work- k-and- -no-play schedule that
makes Jack dull boy, for they have
adjourned for the weekend.
According to advices from Boise
received just before going to press,
there is not even any political gossip
going the rounds in the legislature
worthy of transmission over the wire.
The capital is not being made lively
up to this point in the session.

MOSCOW POSTOFF|CE SHOWS
INCREASED RECEIPTS FOR 1918

COW of money received over money
paid out on these orders was $162.90.
Notwithstanding the huge amount
of war work piled upon the post office
in the sale of thrift stamps and GER
tificates, as well as answering hum
dreds of inquiries relative to soldiers
and their families, the post office has
employed no larger force than during
the time before the war. There are,
in addition to the postmaster, five
clerks, five rural carriers, city car
riers, a janitor, and a fireman.
1t is difficult to estimate the ad-
ditional work imposed by reason of
making Moscow the central account
ing office for the county, system
that has been in operation for the
past fifteen months. All the business
of the postoffices of Latah county
must be done through Moscow, which
makes the reports to Washington and
is responsible for all the accounts of
the smaller offices.
The figures as submitted by Post
master Morgareidge are worthy of
analysis:
Office for Year 1918.

At the rate Moscow is forging
ahead In post office business, it will j
not be many years before she is pro-
NOTED from second to first class, an {
achievement which will be most cred
liable to the commercial activity of
this community. According to Post
master Morgareidge, it takes only
$4,000 worth of business to make a
first class post office, and with Mos
COW gaining over $4,000 per year and
having long since passed the $4,000
mark, it does not require very op
timistic spirit to predict first honors
for the town in little while.
The gross receipts for last year
sum, Moscow, being the central ac-
counting office for this county, dis
tributed supplies to other post offices
to the amount of $25,031.52, so that
the grand total of postal receipts up J
to the 1st of January was $52 ,802.77.
