OFFICERS ARREST
ALLEGED GAMBLERS
TWO MEN TAKEN AT GEN ESEE
ON CHARGE OF OPERATING
A GAMBLING DEVICE

Charged with conducting a gamb-
ling device Harry Kingston and Hen
ry Sanders, both of Palouse, Wash
ington, were arrested last night at
Genesee by Deputy Sherifffs Pat Ma
lone and Charles Summerfield, and
brought to Moscow where they were
lodged in Jail to await hearing.
The men are alleged to have oper-
ated a "winter carnival" at Princeton
some time ago, and to have permit
ted men, women and boys of tender
years to play at what the officers
claim is a gambling game. The de-
vice consisted Of <'wheels of fortune"
and bets were made on where GER
tain point in the wheel would stop.
The bets were paid in merchandise,
if the patron won.
A large store of hams, bacon, lard,
sweaters and other merchandise was
used for prizes and these supplies,
with nine of the alleged gambling
wheels, were confiscated by the Off
GERS.
1t IS claimed the men operated two
days and nights at Princeton and then
left Latah county The officers have
been waiting for their return and
when they opened at Genesee yester-
day the officers were notified and
made the arrests last night. 1t is

girls with them but asked town girls
to dance and solicit partners, it is
claimed.

iff, said: eve have been watching
for these people for some time. We
stopped them at the Troy fair and
we have warned Kingston three
times. The last time he was warned
by Sheriff Woody that if he was
ever again caught in Latah county
he would be given a trial, and we
purpose to make the sheriff's word
gooG. We believe the men are oper-
ating regular gambling game and
are violating the law"

ST. MARKS SUNDAY
SCHOOL CHRISTMAS TREE

The young folks of ST. Marks will
celebrate Christmas at a real Santa

There are lots of surprises in store
for the members of this Sunday
School and the parents and friends of
every child are especially invited to
come and also have good time.

MOTHER OF MOSCOW
MAN CALLED HOME
MRS. e. w. NESSLY ANSWERS
SUMMONS AT AGE OF NINETY
ONE YEARS TEN DAYS

Mrs. Elizabeth W. Nessly, mother
of j. E. Nessly, of Moscow, died at
the home of her son, A. E. Nessly,
Stockton, California, Tuesday, at the
age of 81 years and 10 days. Her
death was due to old age. She had
been feeble for a year, but was not
confined to bed and a short time ago
posed for her photograph in the gar
den of her sons home.
| Mrs. Nessly was born in England,
December IL, 1929, and came to
America with her parents when a
small girl, and the trip across the
Atlantic occupied AZ days The fam
lily settled in Ohio, much of that
state being a wilderness, and they
"grubbed out" farm in Carol coun-
ty, the land now being the center of
a great coal mining district
During the Civil war she was uni
ted in marriage with the Rev. J. F.
Nessly, Methodist minister, and
they went west" at the close of the
war, arriving at ST. Joseph, Mo-, the
day Lincoln was shot Rev. Mr.. Mes
sly was pioneer Methodist minis
ter and built the first "North" Meth
odist church in Kansas City, Mo-, and
the first Methodist churches in Otta-
wa and Wichita, Kansas.
In 1894 Mr. and Mrs Nessly came
west to be near their two sons, and
in November, 1908, Mr.. Nessly died
at Tekoa, lacking but IS days of hav-
ing been in the ministry go years.
After her husbands death Mrs.
Nessly made her home at Tekoa for
time and spent several years in
which she visited each of three sons,
one at Wichita, Kansas; one in Cali
fornia, and one in Whitman county,
Washington, every year, making the
round trip each year until she was
we'll past 80 years of age Four
years ago, this month, when 81 years
old, she made the trip to California,
alone, and had since made her home
with her youngest son, A. E. Nessly.
She was woman of remarkable
strength, vigor and determ.' ation,.
and until four years ago was an
active worker, always raising a gar
den, flowers and chickens, when she
had the opportunity and she conten-
ded that this activity was, in large
part, responsible for her remarkable
good nealJn.
She was the oldest of family of
IL children and the mother of four
sons, and outlived, by many years,
all her brothers and sisters, and out
lived two of her sons, one Of whom
died less than two years ago, but OF
his death she was never ,old. She
had many friends in Oakesdale, Te-
koa and Pullman, where she resided
for many years.
Interment will be at Stockton, Cali
fornia, that being her expressed wish.
She is survived by two sons, A. E..
Nessly, of Stockton; and J. E. Ness
ly, of Moscow; a granddaughter, Mrs.
T. A. Ball, of Moscow; a grandson,
William v. Nessly, editor of the
Wichita, Kansas, Daily Eagle; and
four grandchildren, the children
of Mrs. Ball.

WESTERN UNION TO
HAVE OWN OFFICE
WILL OPERATE INDEPENDENT.
LY OF TELEPHONE-OP
TORS ARE GIVEN BONUS.

The Western Union Telegraph
'company's business in Moscow is to
be separated from the Moscow Tele-
phone & Telegraph office after jan
uary /, thus dispensing with the last
Commission" office of the Western
Union in the Inland Empire, where
an uptown" office is mainland. A.
T. West, president of the Moscow
Telephone and Telegraph company,
has asked the Western Union to take
over it's business after the first of
the year. Mr. West said:
'This is the only commission Off
ce the Western Union has in any In
land Empire town where an uptown
office is maitained. We have handled
the business for many years and the
company seemed satisfied, but, owing
to contemplated improvements and
increased business we wish to devote
our entire time to the telephone bust
ness. U. S. Life, western superinten-
dent of the Western Union, was here
from Salt LAX and has arranged to
take over the business and operate
it separately after January /. The
office will remain in it's present To-
cation as we have subleased the room
now occupied by the Western Union,
but the business will be handled sep
arately. We will then devote our Ell
phone business"
A pleasant surprise was given the
19 employees of the telephone office
last night when Manager j. c. Lang
don called them into his office and
presented each with a cash bonus,
being per cent of the salaries paid
for the year The total reached al
most $1,000 and came as a complete
surprise to the employees. Manager
Langdon read letter from President
West, of the company, in which he
fulness and efficiency and asked that
they try to make the year 1921 the
best, for service, in the history of
the company.
The letter read by Mr. Langdon, is
given in full 1t follows:
Mr.. J. c. Langdon, Manager,
Moscow Telephone and Telegraph Co.
Ltd.
Moscow, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
This will be your authority for pay
ing each employe in the tel ephone
service at this time, additional salary
in the sum equal to five per cent
of their regular earnings for continu-
Gus service during the current year
Please have them understand this ad
compensation is not pres
ent but is allowed in the spirit of
fairness, it being recognized that
during the past year the peak of
high costs was reached, making for
a time our salary schedule app ear
disproportionate to the extraord;nary
cost of living.
This action must not be considered
as establishing a precedent, except
only the precedent of treating fairly
all loyal employees insofar as it is
within our power to do so. /;
1t is hoped that any gratitude
which may be aroused will be direct
I'd toward our patrons in the form
# the very best service possible ur- |
ler all circumstances. BY this CO.
operation only can we expect to build
lp a successful business and merit
he good will of our subscribers.
Sincerely yours, Ii

TWO NEW ORCHARD
PESTS IDENTIFIED
ENTOMOLOGISTS DISCOBERED
PESTS THAT THREATEN DAM
AGE TO FRUIT CROP

Two new orchard pests which
threaten to become of serious conse-
quence to the fruit growers of Idaho
mer by R. H. Smith, entomologist of
the University of Idaho Experiment
Station. These are the Indian Peach
Aphis and the Imported Spider Mite.
The former is native insect of India
and probably has only recently been
introduced into Idaho. 1t was first
discovered last spring near Twin
Falls where it was causing very seri-
Gus curling of the leaves of prune
trees. Later investigation revealed
Ito prune, plum, and peach trees about
Boise and Payette, and that it was
generally distributed over southern
Idaho
Causes Heavy Losses in India
In addition to curling the leaves
very badly and causing many of them
to fall off, in India this aphid induces
the development of dwarf1sh peaches
which drop off early in the summer.
Sometimes whole orchards are affect
ed in this manner. The pest was
probably brought from Asia on nurs-
ury stock and will likely be faund in
other western states.
The Imported Spider Mite is a ma
tive pest of Europe. 1t was first dis
covered in America in 1914 when it
was found to be doing much damage
to orchards in Ontaria, Canada. Dur
ing the past year it was reported to
have become established in certain
parts of Pennsylvania but previous to
Mr.. Smiths discovery it was not
known to occur west of the Atlantic
States.
Different From "Red Spider"
The pest is a small red creature
about one-third as large as the head
Of pin and feeds on both the upper
and under surfaces of the leaves
them to turn an unhealthy
yrayish- green color which gradually
'ades to yellow. 1t can be distin- |
,uished from the Common Spider !
Mite or the so-ca1led RED Spider" by I
he fact that it does not spin web !
IN the under side of the leaves and is
Utmost invariably greenish or yellow
sh in color.
Already Important Pest in Idaho
This mite was first discovered last
pring near Payette where it was do
ng very noticeable damage to apple
nd prune foliage. Later in the sum-
ner it was found to be very abundant
nd doing serious injury to plum,
rune, apple and pear trees in an
richard near Twin Falls while few
nites were found in most orchards of
his and adjoining counties. Thorough
with the usual spring aDplt-
alton of lime sulfur will destroy the
7inter eggs which have been de-
osited in large red patches on the
nder side of the branches.
