S27.0O0 Expended

Street Commissioner F. L. Ford
gets reports on Saturday night of
each week showing him accurately
how much money has been expended
in his department. From the report
of last Saturday and such rough cal
culations as could be made for the
four days of the present week, up TO
and including Thursday. it is safe to
estimate that 27,000 of the special
bond appropriation of $55, 900 has been
expended. Skowhegan citizens may
have a comfortable feeling to view
the extensive improvements so far ad-
vanced on Norridgewock avenue
Madison avenue. Water street and
elsewhere and reflect that only about
one-half of the money has been ex-
pended.
The foregoing is entirely aside from
the $4,000 ordinary highway fund.
This amount the present season was
largely available for country roads I
and about $4,000 OF il has been thus /
expended. OF the balance of $1,000 a I
portion is used for cleaning sewers
lisposing OF leaves and similar pur-
poses and the balance Will 60 70 the
'ountrv highways.

BITS
 ABOUT D0lNGS
 AT FAIRBANKS

FAIRBANKS, Nov 27.-The News Miner is giving much publicity to the high freight, tariff of the gov ernment railroad. It appears that the Samson Hardware company planned to ship a Cleveland tractor to the Interior during the winter by way of the government railroad but, upon inquiry, found that the freight charges on the completed portions of the railroad, between Seward and Fairbanks were such that it would be out of the ques- tion to ship anything. The Alas kan engineering commission in- formed the prospective shipper that the rate on the tractor would be eight cents a pound, or $160 per ton, exclusive of the gap between ends of steel. The tractor is a small af- fair 96 inches long, 50 inches wide and 52 inches high, and weighs only 3300 pounds.

DISEASE ARE OPENED.

Washington, D. C.-The U. S. Pub
lie Health Service, which for some
time has been making special efforts
to facilitate the diagnosis of tubercu-
losis and especially to bring about It's
recognition in it's very earliest stages,
has recently opened mobile training
courses for the purpose in Illinois,
Wisconsin, Michigan, and Washing
ton. Similar courses have already
been given in Texas, Louisiana, Mis-
souri,, Virginia, West Virginia, Mary
land, and Pennsylvania.
These courses, which last seven
days and are very intensive, are at
present open only to physicians at
tached to the Public Health Service;
but after all of these in the various
States have completed the course it
is hoped that it may be possible to
hold similar courses for the benefit of
other physicians who may desire to
attend.
The instruction is given by recog-
nized experts in the diagnosis of pull
tuberculosis, and is supple
mented by the showing of remark
able motion picture, in six reels,
which minutely illustrates every
phase of the disease.

GREATEST SPORTING EVENT OF

LOCAL GRIDIRON.

With Fridays annual classic bet
ween Idaho and Washington State
college only two days away, pessim-
ism continues to be the dominant note
in pre-contest opinions voiced by
Idaho undergraduates and by mem
bers of the university faculty who are
closely in touch with the football stu
alton in the northwest. Not even re-
mote hopes are held out unless Idaho
plays a sensational quality of fight
ing football.
"The prospects seem to me any
thing but bright" said O. P. Cooke
rill, dean of the university law school
and chairman Of the faculty athletic
advisory committee, this morning.

Left end continues to be the sub
ject of a strenuous contest between
members of the Idaho squad. Vernon
Patch Of Payette, son of Adjutant
General L. V. Patch, is said to have
an edge on his closest competitors at
the present time, but he may be dis
placed by Justin Gowen of Caldwell
or Richard Fox of Nez Perce, both
of whom have won their letters in
previous seasons, or by Sherman Bre
shears of Caldwell, member of the
Bresheasr football tribe and an end
on the 1919 Idaho freshman eleven.
The Idaho squad worked less than
an hour and half this afternoon,
virtually the entire time having been
devoted to the running of signals.
Thursdays practice also is expected
to be brief, Coach Kelley believing
that only the lightest of workouts
should be indulged in just game.
Yell rallies have been held every
day this week by the Idaho student
body in preparation for the Harvard

SALT LAKE CITY-Mail will be
carried over the Pacific division of
the transcontinental air mail route
during the entire winter, Colonel John
H. Jordan, acting division superinten-
dent and chief of construction of the
United States aerial mail service,
said upon his arrival here recently
from San Francisco.
"There may be occasional delay be-
cause of storms, but schedules will be
followed more closely than on the
railroad" he asserted. "The planes on
the Atlantic coast were operated last
winter virtually without detention
and I can see no reason why condi-
tions as good or better Will not pre-
vail in the intermountain country.
GAS soon as more machines can be
procured from the manufacture they
will be placed on this part of the
route so that full service can be inst1-
tuted. There is a steady growth in
the amount of mail being carried by
airplane and the southern states are
that route be operated to
that region. If congress will ap-
propriate the money / believe such
a route will be started soon and with
in four or five years new routes will
be formed to other sections of the
country"

MOSCOW ALIVE TO
BIG FOOTBALL GAME
EVERY ONE WORKING FOR THE
GREAT EVENT OF THE SPORT
ING SEASON FRIDAY.

Preparations for the big bonfire
and pajama parade, Thursday even
ing, held annually on the evening pre-
ceding the game between the Uni
versity of Idaho and Washington
State college, are in full swing on the
Idaho campus.
The freshmen, class of 1924, are
busy collecting wood, timbers, and
other combustible materials for the
big blaze and are striving to make
the affair, like the game, the biggest
in the history of conflicts between the
two institutions. Wednesday after
noon freshmen were excused from
classes in order to arrange the pile.
A strenuous effort is being made
to stop the usual custom of taking at
random whatever may appear de-
sirable, regardless of the articles
value to the owner. The committee
in charge of the fire has asked all
town people to have boxes, lumber,
barrels, and similar stuff that they
can spare to notify some member Of
the class in order that it may be OBJ
tained. Business houses, as in the
making donations to this traditional
event.
Both Tuesday and today rallies
were held at the university, practic-
ing yells and stunt or two that will
be presented at the Harvard Yell con-
test. The seats at the game will be
divided into two sections, those on the
right being reserved for Idaho and
those on the left for W. S. C.
Three injuries sustained the last of
the week make it probable that Idaho
will face their enemies from across
the line with crippled lineup.
The alumni association and the va
rious fraternities on the campus have
announced that a great body of "old
grads" will be here to witness the
fray and take part in the "Home
Coming" at the university. The night
after the game the formal Athletic
Ball, Idaho's yearly tribute to her
athletes, will be held in the gymna-
SUM.
