HOMES IN PAVING

MR.. HAGEN TELLS INTEREST
ING STORY OF PAVING DIS
TRICT NUMBER 1.

Ihat 1T pays to pave streets and i'm
prove the town has always been the
contention of Chris Hagen, pioneer
of Moscow, founder of the big pack
ing plant and the Cold Storage Mar
ket, and one of Moscow's best boost
ers and successful business men. Mr..
Hagen tells story to prove his con-
tention that it pays to improve the
city and no one can doubt this after
hearing the story.
agitation in Moscow and got a petit
ton for Improvement district No. 1,
the block surrounded by Jackson, A,
First and Almon streets Mr. Hagen
started the paving agitation, secured
the signers to the petition and got
under way when other property own
ers enjoined him and the case went
to the supreme court, where Mr.. IIa-
gen won and the work was done. Ha-
gen & Gushing built three neat cot
tages on lots they owned there, after
filling the lots. The paving cf the
streets next to these lots cost S1175.
''The lots were not worth 800 and it
seemed like extravaganza to pay
$1175 for paving and then have them
filled in, but it paid" said Mr.. Hagen.
The three cottages have Just been
sold and Mr.. Hagen said: at is a safe
proposition to say that we did not
lose any money on the deal. We built
the houses on lots that were worth
less without the paving, filling and
other improvements and have sold
at a profit and the buyers have good
homes and are satisfied | believe
that the building Of those three homes
on Jackson street by our firm
means three more families in
Moscow than would have been here
if the homes had not been built. l
think | am safe in saying that of the
men who enjoined us from paving and
tried to- stop the work, not one of
them regrets now that it was done or
would go back to the dirt streets if |
he had a choice"
The three cottages were sold to
0. G. Johannesen, of Dear Lodge,
Montana, who comes here to make his |
nome; DR.. Charles McCaughy, who
will make his home in Moscow; and I
Howard Hamer, Of the Bon Ton, who
bought the third house for a home
or himself and family.
Mr.. Hagen said: 81 believe that if
he city would take the initiative and
,rder other improvement districts
ormed and streets paved that the
owners in the district would
hank them for it and we would have
! far better town here. People hesi-
ate to take the initiative and start
paving but I am sure there is not a
owner in the paved districts
# Moscow who would be willing to
eturn to dirt streets and believe that
more streets were paved the prop
rty owners would be well pleased
nd would not regret the cost of the
york.
1t is announced that the work Of
'utting the hard surface on Sixth
treet from the end Of the paving to

arms will begin in a few days and
yill be rushed to completion. The
treet is graded and a good job was

ARK-TO-PARK TRAVEL
HAS ALREADY STARTED

Spokane, Wash-Much interest was
created in the Inland Empire in the
visit of the national park park
caravan, which entered the state at
Newport on the 18th instant enroute
to Seattle, whence the Caravan turns
south in great swing around the
entire circuit of western national
parks. Nine cars comprised the party
which has already covered more than
1000 miles or about one-quarter of
the entire mileage contemplated The
underlying idea is to popularize the
circle tour of parks, secure the better
ment of connecting roads and send
thousands of motor tourists over the
route annually.

RECLAMATION WORK
M|SJUOCED IN EAST
DIR. E. A. BRYAN, STATE COM
MISSIONER OF EDUCATION,
TELLS OF THIS.

In an interesting article in a recent
issue of the Idaho Farmer DR.. E. A.
Bryan, state commissioner of educa-
ton for Idaho, tells how the east
fails to understand western recla-
nation projects. Dr. Bryan's article
follows:
Our eastern friends make some
curious mistakes about the reclama-
tion projects of the arid west.
First, the general impression is
that congress is asked to make a gift
to the west Of vast sums of money
with which to construct storage
works and distribution systems On
the contrary, all that is asked is the
loan of the money or rather of the
credit of the nation on security which
experience shows is perfectly safe,
though sometimes taking a little
longer than was once thought for its
repayment
Second, our eastern brethren have
persuaded themselves that the land,
when irrigated, is to be a gift to the
people of the west. In other words,
that the rich east shall pay for the
water and then give the land away
to the people of the west. On the
contrary, it is to their children, not
to ours, that the land will pass. A
few of ours, of course, will settle on
the new tracts, but as ever the
swarms of the east settle in the west
1t is their children who are driven
by the crowded conditions into in
dustry and the life of the wage earn
er 1t is because we want them here
as our neighbors, joining heart and
soul in the great state building enter
prises of the new west, that we urge
congress to lend the nations credit
to the development of the arid lands.
Third, the H. C. L. demonstrates
the need of food supplies in the far
east as much as or more than in the
west And new lands under cultiva-
tion means more foods and cheaper
food. 1t does not necessarily mean
food produced in the east at less
profit, nor greater competition for
the eastern farmer.
Lastly, there never was such an op-
pOrtunity to put upon the land strong
young men just ready and anxious to
begin life's work as today offers in !
the case of our soldier boys. l do not /
agree with ex-Secretary Lane that we
shall provide each with farm ready :
equipped 1t is better that they take /
The sagebrush tract with the water !
at hand and convert it into a farm.
A 40-acre tract of irrigated land is
bigger and better than any quarter I

SAYS MOSCOW WILL
CARE FOR TEACHERS
CITY SUPERINTENDENT SHANK,
TELLS CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE OF PROGRESS.

That Moscow will care for the 700
teachers who come here from five
Idaho and two Washington counties
on October a to be here four days,
was the announcement made by t. B.
Shank, city superintendent of schools,
at the chamber of commerce luncheon
at noon today Mr.. Shank made it
plain that not nearly enough rooms
have been secured, but he has the ut
most faith that the city that built the
dormitory and has "come through"
whenever required to on any import
ant matter will not "fall down. on
this great event He said committees
are working and are meeting whit
excellent results in securing rooms
for the teachers. But there is much
more to be done and he again request
ed that those having rooms that may
be used by teachers telephone to him
or to the committees and have the
rooms listed This will save canvass
ing But the committees will con-
thu to canvass the town until every
home owner, who has not reported
is seen and requested to furnish at
least room for one teacher. The teach
ers will pay 81 each, per day for the
rooms, whether one or two persons
occpy the room. Thus if two occupy
it the owner will get So per day,
which is good pay for the use of the
room.
Finances Don't Worry Him
Superintendent Shank said he is
not worrying about the $500 to $500
that must be raised for this occasion.
He says he knows the committee that
is working to raise this amount will
secure it and that all the business
men are expected to do is to pay their
allotment 1t is estimated these
teachers will leave close to $4,000 in
Moscow during the week they are
here

he has been picking berries from

Hagen & Cushing today received a

from Grangeville, for which they
paid IN cents, delivered here Mr..
Hagen bought the cattle by telephone
after the owner had communicated
with Spokane and Portland and got
prices for such cattle at these mar

quarter of a cent pound more than
Spokane prices for these cattle and
the freight to Moscow is less than
half the freight from Grangevilie to
