ROAD CONNECTIONS
BOOST FOR HIGHWAYS
ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR CREW
MEAN DAY AND NIGHT WORK
FOR THEIR PROGRESS.

o. j. Amber of the Standard AS
phalt company said to the Star
Mirror that progress on the road
building from the Moscow city limits
extending five miles~beyond Genesee
Of the road to connect with the north
and south highways of the state was
being pushed and that all the grading
had been completed The company
has three camps of crews going now,
one in the Genesee section, another at
Senator Andersons place beyond the
church and another at the Moscow
end south of town.
Beyond this latter district the COM
pany, he added, has a quarry going
and with supplies ample expect to
complete the road to Genesee not
later than September 10, whether per-
mitting. The remainder will be COM
pleted, he stated, between the month
of October and November 1. The
work so far has excited the admira
tion of all tourists and means much
to the travelling and trading public. 1t
opens up the scenic highways and
will demonstrate the connections be-
tween the highway districts of Thorn
Greek, the Moscow district, the state
and the federal bureaus.
Mr. Amber was enthusiastic over
the plans that had obtained. The pro-
ratas of the expenses are shared be-
tween the highway districts, the state,
and the federal highway bureaus. The
highway is graded finely, the crushed
rock gives a fine surfaced road, and
drainage is admirable. To expedite
the work of the crusher at the Mos
cow end, electric lights have been in
stalled, and this means that night
as well as day crew will be main
tanned to secure ample supplies.
The publicity campaign for Idaho
will be helped by the good roads sys-
tenn, and Mr. Amber is one of the
boosters of the Standard Asphalt
company as the one agent that is
showing the public at large what it
means to have a clean cut system of
ntercommunications by way of the
north and south highways.

DEPUTIES COMBINE
AND CAPTURE A STILL
OPERATES A MILE BELOW THE
IDAHO LINE IN WHITMAN co.
SETS HEAVY FINE.

Acting on information which came
from the state line and in Whitman
county, Wash, that liquor was being
surreptitiously brought from certain
locations there into Moscow, and with
the cooperation of the prosecuting at
orneys of both counties, Deputy Sher-
iff Charles Summerfield of the Latah
county office, and Deputy Sheriff w.
r. Baker of the Whitman county Of
flee, drove by auto from Moscow last
night and apprehended man named
John Doe Browning at the John Kni-
fong place, seven miles northwest of
this city, and one mile from the Idaho
line, while he was in the act of con-
ducting 20 gallon still in full opera
ton.
When the officers arrived at the
suspected place they were armed with
a search warrant. The still was
found in an off room near the kitchen.
1t was of the regulation size and all
the mash apparatus was found to be
working There was evidence enough
of surreptitious liquor making. The
man operating it was found to be an
aged worker some 81 years old ac-
cording to his statement, and is be-
lieved to have another name. The
name ne gave ulu IlOI SdllSly tilc OA-
ficers. He was reticent, and did not
give any trouble except that of in
difference. He was taken by the Of
ficers to Colfax where complaint
was entered as to possession of a still
in full operation and the alleged man.
ufacture of liquor. He was landed in
Jail for preliminary hearing in the
morning.
Information Tuesday morning re-
ceived by Deputy Summerfield at the
office of Sheriff John Woody at the
court house, was to the effect that
the defendant had elected to plead
guilty before the Whitman county
authorities at Colfax, that his plea
had been entered, and that the court
had fined him 5000, and costs and given
him 60 days in Jail. 1t was alleged
that liquor from his place was coming
into Moscow. The capture was a
source of satisfaction to the authori-
ties and the prosecuting attorneys OF
the combined counties.

HOW RESULTS OBTAIN
WITH HOGS IN FIELDS
EXPERIMENTS WITH BALANCE
IN FIELD PEAS TANKAGE
AND BARLEYS.

Il. r.. GongWer, assistant professor
of animal husbandry at the University
of Idaho, has reported on the value Of
field peas for hogs, as result of ex-
periments which are now given for
the benefit Of the Latah county far
mer in the Star-Mirror He gives
statistics of value in relation to fall
and spring pigs used in hogging off
trials with field peas in combination
with barley and tankage in varying
amounts and fed experimentally to
hogs in dry lots. He says:
at was found that 271 to 538
pounds of field peas were required to
produce one hundred pounds of pork
in the hogging-off trials, with an
average for all lots of BAT pounds
The total gain in the hogs credited to
each acre of peas varied from 245 to
664 pounds of pork. The average for
all lots, under conditions prevailing in
the Palouse farm region and northern
Idaho was 425 pounds of peas to the
hogs for each acre.
when hogging off fields the best
results are obtained by confining the
pigs to a small area until it is pas
tured clean, as shattered grain will
be lost if it rains. Growthy feeder
pigs weighig from seventyfive to one
hundred twenty-five pounds make the
greatest gains in weight for the peas
consumed. A supplemental grain ra-
ton of rolled barley fed at this time,
increases the rate but does not affect
the economy of grain. When the
market price of peas is comparable to
the price of other grains used for
feeding purposes, it will pay to hog
off peas. There will be no expense
for the harvesting and threshing and
the income from the pork produced
of the peas.
steam-rolled when fed to hogs in dry
lots. They may be fed alone, but
cheaper and more rapid gains are
made with mixture of peas and
barley. The addition Of a small
amount of tankage to this mixture is
Of most value when the proportion of
peas is low, but it always increases
the rate of gain and stimulates the
appetite Of the pigs. Most rapid and
economical gains are produced in dry
lots on a mixture of three parts of
rolled barley, one part of cracked peas
plus five per cent by weight of tank
age With peas at lower price than
barley a ration of equal parts of the
two grains either with or without the
tankage will produce most economical
gains"

ELKS BUILDING IS A
CLIMB FOR STROTHER
CLIMBS MAGUIRE BUILDING
WITHOUT A BREAk-GIVES
SOME DARING STUNTS.

Bill Strother, the human spider, the
man who defeated Harry Gardner by
climbing the Woolworth building, 81
stories high, in New York city, gave
nerve racking exhibition of skill and
daring in Moscow, Monday night His
first essay was at the Elks building
where he first tried to mount by way
of the sign manual over the entrance.
He used the Lodges along the carved
arch but would not go any further as
the Elk's head seemed insecure. He
threaded by lodges to the first floor
where he was baked for want Of
hold higher.
He demurred and going to the sec
ond floor by means Of the rooms
mounted outside on the window ledge,
then by" using the ledge and grooves
succeeded in reaching the roof He
was given a big ovation when he
climbed the flag staff to the top and
gave some fancy stunts after which
he slid by turns to the roof again. At
the Mcguire building he tried the
north side. No lodges were available
until he came to the northeast corner
where he succeeded in mounting to
the first floor He essayed to go up
by sailor like climb of the corner but
was forced to descend. He then tried
eastward along the sills of the win
dows until he reached the fourth by
the massive sign. The climb to the
third floor was safely made.
In his climb he had to break win
dow to get firmer grasp and in do
ing so thrill went thru the crowd as
he cut his wrist and could be seen
wiping the blood off. He maintained
steady climb by lodges and by the
side of the sign until he reached the
embellished front above where the
north projectile gave him firm grasp
enabling him to reach the roof. Boys
on the roof gave him cheer, and the
crowd broke into an ovation. Strother
capped the climax by standing on his
head on the sign at the north end
of the roof He maintained sang
froid that was admirable.
Strother was assisted by his man
ager, Arthur Hill, who gave a fine
rendition of a southern darkie in the
"Buckwheat Cakes" ditty. Mr.. Stro-
her appeared at the Liberty theatre
later recounting his adventures Hill
gave several songs. Donations were
gathered from the crowds. Usually
the money is divided percentage go
ing to some charitable institution or
lodge fund. He showed later at Pull
man. The exhibition for daring and
skill could not be surpassed. A tre-
mendous crowd greeted his perform
ances on Main avenue.

AUTO MAKES LIVING

More than two million families
have been enabled TO live in the
suburbs and to improve their living
conditions generally since the advent
of the automobile. The last few
years have seen a general exodus
from the crowded, central sections of
our cities to the suburbs With n

We're formerly considered near in.
This marked change in living condi-
ton is one more OF the great social
benefits of the motor ear" says the
George W. Davis Motor Co. The mo-
tor car has profoundly Influenced
every phase of our social business
life. This building up of the suburbs
is social benefit, yet il has been a
stimulus to business. too. Motor trans
portation has greatly increased prop

value of property which once was too
far distant from the city. our national
wealth has been increased This in

cause property has been made more
desirable.
The function of the motor car is
to provide individual transportation. It's
