GENESEE MEN SELL
PURE BRED CATTLE
POTLATCH LUMBER COMPANY
BUYS HORSES-FLU BAN
LIFTED-OTHER ITEMS
(GeneSea News.

Platt Bros. have sold eight head of
their fine registered Hereford heifers
during the past week-Tobin Bros.
getting four, DR.. H. G. Luce two, and
John Kries two-which means the
starting of four new Hereford herds
in this section of the county.
The Platt herd of Herefords has
long been recognized as among the
very best in the Northwest and while
some ranchers are little slow in
turning their attention to purebred
cattle, they are gradually raising
their herds to a standard that will
make them second to none.
Platt Bros. are consigning IA head
of their Herefords to the Portland
sale which will be held in
that city March 10.
Flu Ban Lifted.
DIR. w. H. Ehlen, deputy county
health officer, will lift the flue ban
Saturday, February %, for all pub
lie gatherings except dances and
public ball games held in the hall.
The flu ban has been on for about
six weeks and although there has
been large number of cases, the
epidemic did not become so general
as last winter, nor so severe. The
Heath toll has been light, there being

FOR BASKET BALL
TOURNAMENT HERE
SOUTHEASTER IDAHO DISTRICT
TOURNAMENT TO BE HELD
AT POCATELLO

The Pocatello district will have a
tournament next week to select a
team to compete in the state high
school basket ball tournament here
on March 18 and 10, when the eight
best teams in the state will contest
for the state championship. Moscow
citizens will be asked to buy 1000
tickets to finance the big tourna-
ment which means much to the future
of the University of Idaho and to
Moscow.
Bert Dingle Writes.
Physical Director Bleamaster, of
the University of Idaho, has letter
from Bert Dingle, former coach of the
freshman foot ball team of the uni
versity, who is now coach of the Ida
no Technical Institute at Pocatello,
saying a tournament will be held
there next week to select the team to
represent that district. Bert writes
that deep interest is being taken in
the coming state tournament and
every team in that district hopes to
be selected to represent the district
here.
The following teams will enter the
tournament at Pocatello next week:
McCammon, Pocatello
American Falls, Malad, Preston,
and Shelley high schools. The Idaho
Technical Institute will, of course,
not have a team in the tournament
which is for high schools only.

no, for weeks that William M. Nor
gan, chief justice of the Idaho su-
preme court, who retires from that
office this year, may contest United
States Senator John F. Nugent for
his seat.
For several months past it has been
understood that Justice Morgan
might be a possible candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination, but he has
indicated to his political friends his
desire to resume the practice of law
at his home in Moscow, and to have
stated that he would not accept the
gubernatorial nomination.
Now the possibility that his SUI
porters might go into the state con-
vention to give him the senatorial
nomination has created no little ex-
element and concern among the Nu-
gent followers. Justice Morgan is re
garded as one of the best campaign
ers in the state free from tangling
alliances and man whose ability as
a statesman is recognized.

SOUTH IDAHO TOWNS
RAISE SALARIES
BLACKFOOT AND POCATELLO
INCREASE. PAY OF SCHOOL
TEACHERS is REPORT

Superintendent Vincent of the state
training school at ST. Anthony was
in Moscow Friday, says that southern
Idaho is taking steps to hold teachers
for the schools and not permit them
to take up other work because they
can get better pay for it, Superin-
tendent Vincent said: "Blackfoot has
increased the pay of it's teachers to a
minimum Of $3.50 for grade teachers
and high school teachers get mini
mum of $1665 per month.
'.Pocatello, fearing the loss of
teachers who can earn more money In
almost any other vocation, and the
rotary club of Pocatello took the
matter up and has guaranteed $4,000
to be used in increasing pay of teach
ers employed in the Pocatello
schools"
Superintendent Vincent seems to
think the situation is serious and that
unless there is united and prompt
action to increase salaries Idaho will
loose many of its best teachers. There
appears to be a shortage of teachers
everywhere and the east, which form
erly paid much less than western
states, is now said to be offering
higher salaries than the west for
First class teachers. Mr.. Vincent is
Urging that increases in salaries for
Idaho teachers to be made general.

TENSION WORKERS

The reception rendered the visit
ing extension workers of the Univer-
sity of Idaho at the Elks temple Fri
day night by the Moscow Elks' lodge
No. 249 was, like all such affairs Civ
en- by the Elks, a decided success.
The attendance was large and every
one enjoyed good time. The re-
ception was largely informal and was
devoted to making everybody ac-
quainted with everybody else and
giving Moscow citizens an opportuni-
ty to meet the men and women whose
work in the field is doing so much
for the University of Idaho and for
the farming and all other industries
of the state.
Those in the receiving line were
Miss Katherine Jenson, head of the
home economics department; Judge
Edgar G. Steele, exalted ruler of the
lodge; Miss Permeal French, dean of
women; Dean and Mrs. E. J. Iddings
and L.. w. Fluharty, head of the ex-
tension service.
An orchestra in the library dis
coursed sweet music during the re-
ception. After passing down the re-
ceiving line the guests were given an

the big temple and animated con-
veUation kept things lively.
On the upper floor splendid or
chestra furnished music for those
who cared to dance and the floor was
well filled with a merry crowd of
dancers. The visitors voted the re-
ception success and the Elks the
best of entertainers.

it was not expected that the deser-
tions of his colors would be in such
numbers as to leave him with practic-
ally no strength in those counties in
which he was a few years ago su-
preme. Yet that is the situation.
Estranges Old Friends.
All the old Nugent adherents, with
few exceptions, now declare it folly to
nominate or seek to nominate him
"He can not possibly win," they as
sert. One of the best known and
moste astute democrats of the south
east said today: IT have supported
Nugent since his first break with
Dubois. stood with him in all his
battles with Hawley. supported him
in the last campaign, spending my
time and money. am now his per-
sonal friend, and would be glad to see
him returned to the senate But he
can not win. His alliance with the
Non-Partisan League has estranged
his old friends He would drag the
ticket to defeat. He would weaken
our campaign for our presidential
ticket. We can elect a state ticket
without fail if we nominate Judge
Morgan for senator. Nugent can lay
back. His chances to redeem himself
will come when Borah appears on the
ticket again. There is a feeling that
Nugent and Borah are playing
game the purpose of which is to keep
the two of them in the senate. Nugent
can overcome this by waiting and
making the race against Borah. No,
Nugent must stand aside this time.
The party needs Morgan"
Spokane Paper Mentions Morgan.
The Spokane Chronicle has double
column headed article on Judge Nor
gan's candidacy and Idaho politics,
which will prove interesting to Judge
Morgan's friends here. The article
follows:
Every indication points to an early
campaign in Idaho politics, and the
wiseacres are beginning to speculate
on the most available candidates in
both the republican and democratic |
ranks. Chief interest centers in the |
senatorial race
Probably the most surprising pos
sibility in democratic circles portend-
ing sharp struggle for supremacy
in the preliminaries is in the sena-
torial campaign. Reports have been
circulating about Idaho, according to |

BOOSTS MOSCOW MAN
FOR U. S. SENATOR
CHIEF JUSTICE MORGAN SAID
TO BE MAN FOR SUCCESSOR
TO J. F. NUGENT

POCATELLO.- There has been a
complete reversal of political senti-
ment in BannOck county within the
past two weeks, if judgment is to be
had from the surface indications.
Moreover, this altered view reaches
also to the surrounding counties to
such an extent as to indicate delega-
tions to the democratic state conven-
tion firmly bound by choice to Chief
Justice William M. Morgan for
United States Senator.
Nugent Cannot Win.
The altered view as expressed on
all sides is to the effect that Nugent
can not win; that Morgan can and
that it were folly to attempt the nom
ination of a man facing certain de-
feat.
Southeast Idaho first yielded to the
lure of the Non-Partisan league or
ganizers. But as the campaign Of the
league waned this movement lost
force and strength in all that tier of
counties known as the Southeast"
Mormons are now boldly hostile to
the league and its preachments. Nu-
gent for years held his power through
the support of the Mormon democrats
of the southeast Deprived of that
support now he has withered and his
campaign has assumed deplorable
condition.
Won Through League.
Nugent, it will be recalled, won by
his alliance with the Non-Partisan
league. He was helped in that alli-
ance by Fred 7. Dubois, whose fight
against the Mormons in Idaho has q
place in the states political history.
Naturally, it was to be expected that
Nugent would hardly hold his old
strength in the Mormon counties. But

TEAM LOST
TO WHITMAN COLLEGE
MISSIONARIES DEFEATED UNI
ERSITY OF IDAHO BY SCORE
OF % TO IL

WALLA WALLA. - Whitman's
basket ball team managed to break
Idaho's winning streak when the Mis-
sionaries walloped the Idaho five by
score of % to IL here last night.
The game was fast and exciting from
the start, the score standing 2 to 2
after the first 10 minutes of play.
Dement, broke the tie with a long
shot and once getting the lead Whit
man managed to hold the same
throughout the game.
With the exception of Carter,
Hunter was the lone point getter for
Idaho, Carter making one basket in
the early part of the first half.
Team work and accurate passing
marked the playing of Whitman
while the college guarding on both
sides made it difficult for either
team to find the basket. Dement,
showed exceptional speed and alert
ness, getting four baskets in spite of
the fact that Idaho continually COW
cred him with two men.
Rich Whitman Star.
Rich was the high point man for
Whitman, making IA of the % points,
two of which were made by free
throws. He showed exceptional speed
In covering the floor and played
good guard.
The Idaho five was handicapped
without the assistance of Captain
Lindley, their stellar guard, who was
called home yesterday. Though
Hunter was high point man for Idaho,
with 10 points to his credit, he was
not up to his usual form, getting only
four out of 13 free throws.
The victory of last night puts Whit
man in the lead of the northwest
conference, having won eight and
lost two. Idaho follows second, be-
ing only half game behind the Mis-
sIonaries. The two teams will clash
again tonight.

Dillon Says City Should
Be Getting l2.Cent Milk

"The Milk Trust" composed of the
milk distributing companies in New
York City, was attacked last night by
DR.. John J. Dillon, formerly State Com
missioner Of Farms and Markets, in his
address. before the forum of the Church
OF the Ascension. For the first time in
many months only sparse audience
turned out to attend the much criti
cized forum. The church was little
more than half full
In speaking Of the profits made by
the distributing companies, Dr.. Dillon
said that seven cents quart was suffi
cient recompense to keep the farmer
satisfied. An additional cent, he as
serted, would bring the milk by rail to
the city. All the additional cost. he
alleged. was for distribution, and he
could not see why this should cost six.
or more, cents quart.
II the state or the city would take
hold Of the problem, Dr.. Dillon
continued, the matter could be settled
in thirty days by selling direct from
the farm to the retailer ana doing away
with the prices charged for distribu-
ton. Bottled milk, he = id, should sell
in the city to-day for not more than
IL cents 4 quart. Bulk milk should
sell for 10.
