roads, should feel like seeking some
other form of road that would serve
their purpose, and enable the COM
missioners with the money at hand,
to improve all the roads in the district
and not spend it all on few favored
lines and leave many to travel
through mud and dust
1t is not the purpose of this article
to discuss the particular kind of road
that should be constructed, but to
suggest that the taxpayers should
be consulted and given an opportunity
to determine and direct what kind
of roads should be built. With this
end in view, it would be well for the
commissioners to call a meeting In
Moscow and in each school house in
the road district, give ample notice of
the meetings, invite all taxpayers to
attend, discuss and determine what
kind of roads they prefer At these
meetings Mr.. Monahan should be
present with the commissioners, to
answer questions as to the probable
cost of the various kinds of roads per
mile, to aid the voters in determining
what they want. The people who
pay for these roads should be con-
suited and permitted to aid in the
determination of how this money is
to be expended and what kind Of
roads are to be built

upon their construction.
Many people from Washington
have said our best sand roads near
Moscow are far superior to the
permanent roads built in Whitman
county. Where our roads are well
rounded up, allowed to settle we'll
and then covered with heavy coat
ing of local sand, we had roads that
were fairly passable the year round,
free from dust in summer and mud in
winter, and such roads stood the
travel for five years, with practically
no expense to the county, and it is
believed by many, that second heavy
coat of sand would have made them
the best form of permanent roads for
this county.
1t is true as you say that the
bonds were voted with the distinct
understanding that the roads. were
to be permanent and built under the
latest and most modern specifications
for building roads that will be perm
anent, but many things have trans
pired since then that might change
our plans. 1t was distinctly stated
through your paper and every other
person and agency that favored the
bonds, that for every dollar we voted,
the government would put up a dol
lar and the state a dollar, SO that we
would. only be bearing one third Of
the immediate cost of constructing
these permanent roads. 1t was these
that induced the voters to favor the
bonds. 1t is known by every one
now, that no federal aid will be re-
ceived and those best posted, expect
but little help from the state and no
one will venture a guess as to when
this little state aid will be given.

MOSCOW TELEPHONE
GIRLS THANK PATRONS

ssPop" Langdon, manager, and the
operators of the Moscow Telephone
& Telegraph Company ask The Star
Mirror to extend their thanks to the
people of Moscow for so promptly
needing the plea made Thursday to
reduce their calls over the telephone
as much as possible. Mr.. Langdon
said: "The local notice and the edi-
torial sure did the business. With
half our force gone from the local
room the girls were worked almost
to death. They were simply swamp
ed Every cord was busy and some
times several calls would come in at
once and the patrons would be ter
ribly out of patience because they did
not get prompt service. Some of the
business began to drop off and there
was lull. This came shortly after
people had had time to get and read
the evening paper and on Friday the
calls had dropped more than SO per
cent. We surely appreciate this
action by the patrons and will try
to give the best service possible at
all times and after the flu epidemic
is over conditions in the office will
be normal again and there will be
no limit on the calls that can be
handled.

Coincident with the announcement
of the wage advance, it was learned
that the independent steel manufac-

reason given for the increase is adj

Editor Star irror-I read your
editorial in yesterdays paper, "Must
Build Permanent Roads," with good
deal of interest. 1t is true there has
been some agitation for dispensing
with the regulation solid foundation
roads, and this is no doubt due in a
measure to the reports that come
from those who have Travelled the So
called permanent roads in eastern
Washington. 1t is said those roads
have been cut full of holes and ruts
in two or three years travel and are
anything but permanent roads, altho
much money and work was expended
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1920-01-31

If those in charge of the expendi-
ture of the vast sum that has been
turnerd over to them will consult the
taxpayers as to their aims and plans,
there will be less criticism of their
actions in the future. All of us want
good roads; having voted the bonds
all want the money expended in the
way that will do the most good to the
people of the whole district; that will
stir up the least strife and feeling
and bring about the most complete CO.
operation in the bunilding Of these
roads.

BIRMINGHAM RANKS HIGH
Leads In Efforts Made to Control
 Venereal Disease

Washington November 2s- Especially Birmingham and Montgomery, with scores of 6s2 and 626, respectively, lead the the measures they have taken to control venereal diseases. Mobile, with score sf 51S, is third; Besemer, 4s6, fourth; while Gadsden made only 100 points. Au- gusta made 475 Macon 457 and Atlanta 3S2 Jacksonville made 617 Chattanooga 5s7, New Orleans Al.
 These ratings are disclosed in a recent survey made by the United States public health service of the 444 largest cities Of the country. The scores are based upon possible 1000 points. The data obtained was in answer to approximately 300 ques- tions regarding medical, legal, educa- tional and general cooperative measures in force in these communities on Febru- ary 1, 1920.
 Authorities issuing the report call at tention to the fact that the grades by no means indicate the amount of vene- real diseases existing in these various cities. Some cities may be graded high because they have had so much venereal disease and prostitution that it has been necessary to inaugurate vigorous meas ures for combating them, while some small cities may be graded low because it has seemed unnecessary to them to establish clinics and adopt the other measures for whicn high grades arc awarded
 Portland, Ore, with grade of 78, made the best showing. Six other cities grading over 700 are Salt Lake city. Grand Rapids, Des Moines. Tacoma, San Francisco and Spokane. Of the 10 cities classed as having 5o0,000 or more inhabt- tants, Detroit leads with score of 6s4; Los Angeles is second, with 67O, and New York third, with 627. Baltimore is sixth, with 414, and Chicago seventh, with 4o8. Washington scored 474 points.
 The public health service announces that another survey win be made of the same cities early in 1921.

 On the return trip from down the river the government engineers inspected Locks E and F; also locks A, B, c and D. which are on the river some distance below Sheffield While here they pointed out the great needs of modern river ter minals at Sheffield. from which point the Tennessee river is navigable now the year round to as far as Paducah. Simi- lar conditions do not exist upstream between Sheffield and Chattanooga. This stretch of the river, however, will be- come navigable when the Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals is completed and the channel dredged further.

BONDS FOR TERMINAL

Pointing out the need of terminals on the river here, the government engineers especially indicated that improvements of the kind must of necessity be established if the government is to be aided in it's plan to keep the larger rivers of the coun- try navigable, thereby encouraging river transportation, by which it is txpected will largely aid in solving the transpor- tation problems of the future in this country.
 Local cooperation with the government in establishing terminals of an adequate nature here is vouchsafed. The city some time since voted a bond issue of $50,OOo, which was to be used in constructing and erecting river terminals here. But because of other public improvements and heavy expenditures the bonds have not been offered for sale, and the work of has, therefore, been delayed. Now, however, the project will be duly considered. At least government officials are afxious for this to be done. Ten tative plans and specifications of the ter minals needed here will be drawn in the offices of Majors Schley and Fiske and sent to Captain Shute, and subsequently, submitted to local city officials.

Very slowly 1t dawned upon Mrs.
Hardy that this respectable. thriving
city. with its well-dressed, properly
hammered people, its public spirit, its
aggressiveness, its churches and thea
ters and schools, its law and order.
and its afternoon teas, after all. was
the real West; sincere. earnest; crude.
perhaps; bare, certainly: the scar of
its recent battle with the wilderness
still fresh upon its person lacking the
finish that only time can give to a
landscape or civilization; but lack
ing also the moldiness, the mustiness
the insufferable artificiality of older
communities. Even Mrs. Hardy,
stepped for sixty years In life of
precedent and rule and caste. began
to catch the enthusiasm of new land
where precedent and rule and caste
are something Of handicap.
"We must buy a home." she said to
