gon and Idaho, bringing the total
number of Hub stores under the
management of Mr. Breier up to
twenty-seven. Last year Mr. Breier
set his goal for forty stores in the
northwest, with headquarters in this
city, and had conditions been more
opportune this year far in excess Of
five stores would have been started
The principal setback to entering
upon new locations has been the ut
ter lack of suitable buildings and
business locations, which fact
augurs well for the prosperous condi-
lions existing all over the western
country.
The stores open thus far during
1920 are those at Klamath Falls.
Oregon; Roseburg, Oregon; Grants
Pass, Ore; Occur d'Alene, and Gift
ford, Idaho. Constant watch is kept
on the flourishing towns and so soon
as an opportunity presents itself,
should conditions warrant, the stores
are started. Centralizing all business
at the Lewiston office, purchasing at
one time for all stores connected with
the chain, gives the Hub stores an
immense buying power-Lewisto

FOR NEW ROAD FROM
MOSCOW TO PULLMAN
PULLMAN COMMERCIAL CLUB
TAKES UP MATTER OF con-
Meeting TWO CITIES
pullman HERALD

pullman HERALD
| A new road between Pullman and
Moscow, Idaho, has been projected
and is being enthusiastically advoca-
ted by residents of both towns. The
route as outlined after leaving Pull
man follows what is known as the
'River" road past the Whitlow ware
house, then turns to the left past the
, old Whitlow farm, then east along the
valley near the Jarron farm and the
east Whitlow farm, then swinging east
and south and entering Moscow from
the north
Persons who have inspected the
route of the proposed road say that
it would be short, give easy grades
all the way and pass through some
of the finest land in the Palouse
country.
The matter was brought to the at
tentiOn of the chamber of commerce
last Tuesday by DR.. E. A. Archer in
making an argument in favor of send
ing one or more delegates to the meet
ing of the State Good Roads associ-
alton. He maintained that it is very
essential for Pullman to be represented
at this meeting if work Is to be con-
tinued on the eastern branch of the
planned that new law is being adj
vocated to supplement the DOnahue
law, under which no funds will be
available for several years in this
county for the construction of roads,
which have not already been petitiOned
for
The subject was brought up by
letter from the Charleston chamber of
commerce asking Pullman to assist
them in securing an appropriation for
the construction of the link of the
Inland Empire highway between
Charleston and Dayton, and in having
the road from Charleston through Ana
tone made branch of the Inland
Empire highway
The whole matter was referred to
the committee on roads, with instruc-
lions to investigate it and report at
the luncheon next Tuesday.

LUMBER BUSINESS
SHOWS INCREASE
ONE FIRM HAS SOLD MORE
LUMBER THIS YEAR THAN
IN ANY YEAR SINCE 1914

That more building has been done
in Moscow and vicinity thus far in
1920 than in any year since the war
begun is the report of lumber and
hardware men and contractors here.
A. w. Erickson, manager of the
Standard Lumber Company, said:
"Our sales to August l this year
were considerably more than the
sales of last year or any year since
the war began. Our business shows
a marked increase in volume. The de-
mand for lumber is better than it has
been for many years"
Building, which has been stagnant
since the war began until this year,
shows a marked increase in all
lines. Moscow is building more this
year than in any year since 1913,
and the buildings being erected are of
a better class. The total spent for
building operations in Moscow this
year is expected to grow we'll above
the half million mark. More than
100000 is being spent for new
buildings for the University of Idaho,
including the new dormitory, cost
ing 100000, new fraternity house
costing $4,000; new sorority
house, costing 1900. and additions
to the university buildings. More
than 100000 is being spent in Mos
cow, mostly for business buildings,
including a new bank building, new
garage building( the remodeling of
one bank building and big depart
ment store, costing 100000 and $40,-
900, respectively, and additions to the
big concrete elevator of the Mark P.
Miller Milling Company.

WORK ON GENESEE
ROAD WELL ALONG
LIGHTNING STRIKES TELEPHONE
POLE-HOT WEATHER THERE
-GENESEE ITEMS
(Genesee News)

Work on the Genesee Link OF the
highway is being pushed as rapidly as
possible and much work has already
been done, according to estimates of
the contractors, about Is per cent OF
the grading has already been done.
There are but few places where the
grading interferes with the use of the
old road and these are made passable
for cars and teams.
The work of crawling the Pine
Grove road Of the Genesee district
was held up for short time when the
power was changed from an engine to
electric power but is now going on in
a satisfactory manner and some three
quarters of a mile has been graveled.
It is stated by city authorities that
the work of grading and graveliug
the streets of the city will soon be
begun and pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible, which will give
Geneseeites and farmers chance to
unload themselves from their flivvers
and rigs without getting into mud
up to their knees, as has been the case
for so many years.
Lightning Strikes Telephone Pole
Lightning struck a telephone pole
at the Frank Smelling ranch, six miles
northeast of Genesee, last Friday
night and reduced it. to almost kind
ling wood The telephone wire lead
ing to the house was also struck and
the large fuse on the side of the
house was split in two and two dents
were made in the side of the house,
but no other damage was done
Little MOreWarm Weather
Genesee experienced some rather
warm weather again on Sunday last
when the mercury climbed up to the
94-degree mark and fingered nearby
for several hours. But, gee, think of
the poor, suffering humanity in the
places where the mercury flirted with
the 100 mark, and better.

Harsch has played consistent game
from the start and has succeeded in

all opponents thus far. Thursday and

resulted IN a draw, although Harsch
and Dickinson were outplayed Fri
day the battle walked warm but Gibbs
and Hubert decided the meet by TAX
ing three of five sets. Both matches
were full of thrills and brilliant play

ball in the alley for many gains. HUI

placing the ball first in one corner
of the court then in the other. Mr..
Dickinson's serve baffled his oppon-
ents through two sets but was finally
broken up. Gibbs played a net game
and won many points on cross court
shots.
Professors Neidig and Snider of the
department of agricultural chemistry
have challenged the winners for
matches on Saturday and Sunday.
These promise to be of great interest
since Prof Snider was member of
the AEes tennis team for three years
and was one year state .hOlastlc

previous university matches.
