CREASED COST OF EVERY
THING BE NO INCREASE

BOISE, Idaho-The tax rate for
the state of Idaho will be no larger,

that will produce maximum degree
of efficiency with a minimum ex-
penditure of public funds"

COLLEGE STUDENTS
TO WORK IN HARVEST
NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS GET
EASTERN COLLEGE MEN TO
HELP SAVE THE CROPS

FARGO, N. D.-Eastern college
students are coming to North Dakota
to work in the haying and wheat
harvests. They have begun to ar
rive. Many of them have come in
automobiles, putting in a part of
their vacation in cross-country drive
ing. A number are camped in tents
in the suburbs of Fargo, ready for
work when haying begins. These
young men are regarded by farmers
as good workers and there will be
plenty of work for them during har-
vest. The money they earn will go
toward paying expenses during their
next college term.
Farming communities throughout
the state have begun to plan for the
army of field workers that will be
necessary to harvest the unusually
heavy wheat crop. Boy scouts have
been engaged in advance. Business
men of the towns have promised to
form the twilight harvest gangs. 1t
will be possible for these to work
from four to six hours day after
business is over as the long twilights
in this northern latitude does not
fade until 9:30 or 10 o'clock at night.
The demand for labor during harvest
will be urgent. Crop prospects in
every section of the state were
never more promising.

LABOR FIGHT BEGUN
AGAINST COOLIDGE
BOSTON UNIONS REFUSE TO
PARADE BEFORE GOVERN
OR NEXT LABOR DAY

BOSTON.-Because many unions
have refused to participate in a par
ade on Labor Day unless the Boston
central labor union withdraw its in
vitation to Governor Coolidge to re-
view the marchers, the central body
voted unanimously today to rescind
it's decision to have a parade.
Members of the parade committee
reported a strong sentiment among
many unions against passing in re-
view before the governor and against
being escorted by policemen who took
the places of the members Of the po-
licemen's union who struck last Sep
tember.
More Criticism of Coolidge
Governor Coolidge is criticized for
vetoing the 2.75 per cent beer bill and
for signing the daylight saving bill
in the report Of VIM. A. Nealey, pres
ident of the state branch, American
Federation of Labor, to be presented
at it's annual convention at Lynn to-
and made public tonight.
The report asserts that the beer
bill was endorsed by majority of
the voters and that the daylight saw
ings bill was opposed by farmers, or
ganized labor and call others outside
of the big interests"

AMERICANS FLOCK
TO CANADIAN FARMS
HALF OF THE IMMIGRANTS TO
CANADA ARE FROM THE
UNITED STATES is CLAIM

OTTAWA, Ont Immigrants en-
tering Canada from the British Is
lands during March and April of this
year numbered 1O.906; from the
United States, II ,494, and from other
countries, 1886. During the same
months last year, the figures were:
British Empire, 6,686; United States,
1892, and other countries, 1928. I'm
migration from the British countries
showed a gain and from the United
States loss, the latter on account of
bad spring weather.
Late summer and fall months are
invariably the heavy colonization
months, and this year immigration
authorities expect the number of
homeseekers coming to Canada to be
larger than since before the outbreak
of the war. To the agencies main
tanned by the government and the
railroads for the promotion of i'm
migration, one new force has already
been added and another is now in
process of organization. These are
respectively the Hudson's Bay com
pany and the Western Canada Col
onization Association. The latter
will devote itself to colonizing all
idle land no matter who it's owners
are. The former is colonizing its
own lands, 100000 acres of which
remain of it's ancient vast posses
sions.

NEW ELECTRIC BAKERY
is NOW IN OPERATION

Roy Pressnell, who operated an ell
ectric bakery in the room now oc-
cupied by the Moscow Millinery last
year, has returned to Moscow and
opened strictly modern electric
bakery in the room formerly occupied
by the Wallace Jewelry store, direct
ly across the street from his former
location. Mr. Pressnell, who is a
baker of many years experience and
made an enviable reputation while
here before, has installed the most
modern electric equipment through
out and promises even better service
than he gave the people of Moscow
before. He will specialize on bread
and doughnuts until he can secure a
pastry cook, when he will make a
speciality Of pies and other pastry. He
has an electric oven Of 200 loaves
capacity, but the prospects are this
will be too small in a short time. He
opened Saturday, baked 500 loaves
and sold them all out and expects to
make 500 loaves day and increase
the output as demanded. A. Cole,
formerly manager of bakery at
Kendrick, is helping Mr.. Pressnell
get started with the new bakery.

FEAR HARVEST WILL
TAKE ROAD TEAMS
IMPORTANCE OF COMPLETING
ROAD TO GENESEE THIS
FALL is FELT

Fears that harvest work will make
shortage of men and teams fol
highway work in this county, is ex-
pressed by contractors and engineers.
During the next three months harv-
est work with wheat hauling to fol
low, will make demand for men and
teams and that will also be the sea-
son when the greatest amount of
road work is expected to be done.
Contractors on the north and south
state highway between Moscow and
the state line west of Genesee, have
promised to have this stretch of road
completed by ''the time snow flies" if
they can secure enough men and
teams, but it is feared that the call
of men and teams to the harvest
fields may make shortage for road
work and delay completion of this
link in the state highway until next
spring.
In Moscow highway district work
is going forward on several roads
but Chairman Mix, of the board of
commissioners, stated that the board
plans to "gol slow on the highway
work during harvest in order to re-
lease men and teams to save the big
grain crops" Many farmers are
working with their teams on the
roads in this district but they will
have to quit and begin harvest work
soon and the commissioners plan to
work but few men and teams during
the harvest season and try to hire
farmers and their teams after har-
vest.
The price of hay has declined to a
marked degree recently, having
dropped from $45 and $50 to $25 and
$50 per ton, baled, and that change is
welcomed by men who are feeding
teams for highway and other work.
A drop in the price of oats is fervent-
ly hoped for by these men. Oats are
now selling at $40 per ton

OUTLAWS
HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
MOB DETERMINED TO LYNCH
RING LEADERS OF JAIL
BREAK AND MURDER

PENDLETON, Oregon.-The lead
ers and perhaps all six of the men
involved in the jail break and murder
of Sheriff Til. Taylor here a week
ago Sunday, narrowly escaped lynch
ing by mob of determined citizens
early Sunday morning. The men
were saved from death by the cool
ness of "Jinks" Taylor. brother of
the slain man, who, unarmed, bare
headed and with tears glistening
on his cheeks, checked the mob at the
court house door and dispersed them,
while Rathie, leader of the Jail break,
lay upon his couch, screaming with
terror. Hart and Owens, the two half
breed Indians, with true Indian stole
ism, seemed unmoved by their narrow
escape from death.
Early Saturday night mob of per-
haps 300, among them many women,
gathered about the Jail. The mob
was drawn by curiosity, it seemed,
but as it grew in size its temper
changed and the women were sent
home and the men seemed to be pre-
pairing for business. Sheriff Taylor,
who succeeded his brother, shot by
Neil Hart, the Indian, when the
escape was "pulled off" talked to the
men and they dispersed.
After midnight mob again sur
rounded the jail. There were a
of ropes, each prepared with
a "hangman's knot" all ready for
business. The mob seemed determin-
ed. Automobiles, with engines run
ming and driver at the wheel, ready
for hurried flight, in case the pris-
oners were secured. 1t is believed
spot for the execution had been sell
ected and the drivers knew where to
go.

Forest Fire Near Moscow.

A forest fire on the west Side Of
the tallest peak of Moscow mountain,
is causing some uneasiness and is a
spectacular sight at night. The fire
is crawling slowly up this side of the
mountain in scattered timber. 1t is
reported that men are fighting it and
hope to confine it to small area.
Should it sweep over the mountain it
would strike heavy timber on the
other side and is apt to do much dam
age. Up to this time the damage
done is reported to be light.

IN spite of the inclement weather,
the interest in these meetings is SO
great that even yesterday, in the
midst of the steady downpour of rain.
splendid audiences greeted this mar
Vicious teacher at each service. AT
the evening meetings, under the able
leadership OF Mr.. AL Clark. the rail
road conductor, of Minnesota, the
music is made special feature. but
OF course the greatest interest CEN
'ers in the wonderfully clear Bible
teachings. Just to see the immense
'nails, prepared with infinite care
and labor, is worth attending the
meetings but when explained in the
clear, forceful language of this un-
assuming but highly talented teacher
they become things OF life, that al
most speak their own message.
Mr.. Putnam declared last night
that he had never taught in a place
where he found more congenial sur
roundings or more ready response
than in Lakeland. and his hearers
reciprocate by saying that they have
never found more able and enlight-
ening teacher.
