AUTO TOURISTS
SUFFER IN DESERT
CARS BREAK DOWN FAR FROM
SETTLEMENT AND WATER
HAVE MARROW ESCAPES

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah.-Two
parties of automobile travellers be-
came lost on unmapped roads in Utah
deserts recently and only reached
safety after experiences almost as
narrowing as some of those the pio-
neers underwent.
Arthur Lawrence of Delta, Utah,
started on vacation trip with his
wife and their two children, eleven
and five years old They determined
to take new and little travelled road
but after going about sixty miles
their car broke down.
Lawrence took a quart bottle of
water and started to walk back to
Delta for help. After fainting from
heat and fatigue sometime in the
afternoon, and recovering in the cool
of the evening, he reached the set
tlement of Hickey, in such condition
that he was unable to tell of the
plight of his family. Friends took
him to Delta and there he recovered
to ask aid for his family
About noon the day following the
breakdown, Mrs. Lawrence started to
walk to Delta with the children. They
had gone five miles before they met
the rescue party.
L. C. Burton and Mrs. Burton, of
Washington, D. c., constituted the
other party. They were taking a
"short cut' north of the Great Salt
Lake at the time and found on it
broken down car whose sole occup-
ant was small boy. The boy said
his father had gone to ranch for
water. They gave the boy some of
their dwindling supply of water and
later gave what remained to dogs
and canary bird they were taking
east with them. Their car breaking
down some hours later, they determ-
med to walk back to that which they
had passed earlier in the day. Hur-
rying through the heat, exhaustion
was soon added to their troubles. One
Of the dogs was unable to walk fur
,her and Mr.. Burton carried it. Mrs.
Burton carried a peach pit in her
mouth to alleviate the thirst, and bit
lown on it unconsciously and broke
,hree teeth. Mr.. Burton said that
heir principal anxiety was that the
.ar they sought would be gone before
hey could reach it, After eight hours
and running they reached
he car.
Another party of automobilists had
'ome up, including two University of
California professors, and this party
:arried the Burtons back to their own
ar. With the aid of the Californians
he Burton car was started again and
continued the trip.

NEz PIERCE INDIANS
HAVE MUCH WEALTH
INTERESTING STATISTICS OF
TRIBE CONTAINED IN SUP
ERINTENDENT'S REPORT

"Lo, the Rich Indian" should be
used in speaking of the Nez Perce
tribe, whose reservation lies south
and east of here, instead of the time
worn phrase, "Lo, the poor Indian
in use q few decades ago. A census
report of the Nez Perce tribe shows
the Indians to be rich, the average
wealth of the tribe, for every man,
woman and child being S8,227.
The report just issued by Superin-
tendent. Lipps shows there are 1862
Indians in the tribe on the reserva-
tion, of whom 715 are males and TAT
are females. There are 871 adults
and sol minors. The census shows
net decrease of 81 in the past year
due to the ravages Of influenza,
which was peculiarly fatal to the ma
tives.
The tribal wealth is placed at
81, BAL ,525, and the personal wealth
of the Indians is given as $1O,487 TIT,
making a total of $12,O28,7O2, or an
average of $8,227 for every man,
and child in the Nez Perce
tribe.
The Indians are engaged in farm
ing and last year raised crops valued
at $142,124, an average of almost
$1O0 for each member of the tribe.
Johnson Spencer, of Kooskia, was the
most extensive farmer of the tribe
in 1919, having raised a crop Of 280
acres, but the kind Of grain raised
and the value of the crop produced on
this 28O acre farm, is not given in
the report.
The Nez Perces are thoroughly civ
ilized and intelligent. They live in
houses although many Of them have
5eepees in which part of their time
is spent. They own good horses,
wagons, buggies, farm equipment
and many of them own and drive
They have churches
and schools and are a law-abiding
people, many of them prominent in
church work and the older members
attend conferences of their various
churches at various points in the In

FRENCH
AT COMMERCE LUNCHEON

Congressman Burton l.. French will
be guest of honor at the chamber of
commerce luncheon and it is hoped
he will give a short address. A big
delegation of business men from Troy
will be guests of the chamber at lun-
cheOn and will ask Moscow to assist
Troy in its harvest festival and street
fair, and in return will help Moscow
with the county fair. 1t is hoped there
will be a big attendance tomorrow 1t
is felt that it would look bad for big
delegation from Troy to find but a
handful of Moscow people present.
The luncheon will be held from s12:15
to 1:15 tomorrow wednesday, Aug
ust 4, and every member is urged to
be present to greet the visitors from
Troy and hear Congressman French
talk on what the appropriations COM
mittee thinks of Idaho and the west.

morrow; the place, chamber of COM

Charles Irvine, president of the
American Association of Importers
and Breeders of Belgian Draft
Horses, is of the opinion that never in
past history, has there been SO great
scarcity of foals and yearings in
proportion to the total horse popula-
ton of the United States, as at the
present time.
Mr. Irvine, accompanied by Will
liam Crownover, recently drove fiji
teen hundred miles on round trip
through Iowa and Minnesota. They,
as experienced horsemen, observed
the horses passed enroute. During
their entire trip they saw but nine
foals, and estimated more than a

A. P. Coon, western representative

confirms Mr.. Irvine's report, but adds
hat in some communities, the farm

two or three times as many
mares as they did last year. Mr..
Coon states that in general, however,
'armers are not aroused, to the short
age confronting them, and with

MOSCOW OvERSUBSCR|BEO
THREE UNIVERSITY FUNDS

Announcement was made today
by the chamber of commerce that
citizens of Moscow have raised
$101 800 for new buildings for the
University of Idaho and that two of
these buildings will be completed and
ready for occupancy by the time
school opens on September 13, and
the third building will be completed
soon. Every fund asked for to help
erect buildings has been oversub-
scribed.
The need of boys dormitory was
declared by university people to be
pressing and citizens were asked to
raise $4,000 for such building to be
leased by the state which is to buy it
later. The citizens raised $4,000
for this building and it is nearing
completion and will be furnished and
ready to house 100 and feed 200 stu
dents when school opens.
The Phi Delta Theta fraternity
asked for $4,000 to help in financing
the erection of a fraternity house,
costing $4,000. Alumni had pledged
$4,000; and $4,000 was to be raised
by first mortgage. Moscow citizens
were asked to raise $4,000, to COM
plete the sum and to take bonds of
the fraternity for payment. An
nouncement was made today that the
sum of $10,4O0, or $400 more than
had been asked for, had been sub
scribed.
One of the sororities, the Delta
Gamma, planned to build home
costing $4,000. Alumni had pledged
$4,000 and arrangements were made
to raise $4,000 by first mortgage.
Citizens were asked to raise the re-
naming $1,000. Announcement was
made today that the subscriptions
have reached $4,000, or $4,000 more
than asked. This building is nearly
completed. The roof is being put on
and only the interior work remains
to have it ready for occupancy when
school opens in September.
DR.. E. A. Bryan, state commission
er Of education, in speaking of the
work done by Moscow citizens, said:
81 do not believe that even the people
of Moscow realize how big is the
work they have done or how far
reaching will be it's results. Few
the size of Moscow
could or would do so well. 1t means .
much for the future of the university
to have this spirit of Moscow citizens
back of the school,"

to the Phi Delta Theta fund, together
