Miller's fielding was just about the
classiest seen here this year in the
game yesterday. He had five put
outs and three of them could very
easily be classed as extremely hard
ones. In the first he pulled down
Mathag's long hit fly to deep right
center, and it looked like a sure
three Dagger. In the second, after
Portsmouth had scored couple,
with Casey perched on second. he
caught the hard hit line drive OF
Bope and doubled Casey of second.
Again in the ninth he made a won
derful shoe string catch of Man
ning's low hit liner to right. In ad-
dition Miller secured one hit out of
three times up, scored one run, and
drove across two others. Some one
has said that if he plays ten years
longer he will be the fastest and the
youngest man on the team, and il
yesterdays performance is any indi-
cation this statement is entirely cor
rect.

The clipping taken from the Vir-

teresting. 1t is not known just what
action Judge Lands will take in the
matter, but we do know that the
club preferring charges should look
well to it's own house of glass. It is
fact that doesn't take any great
amount of brain work to compre-
hend that when team releases
cheap ball players and takes on cost
ly one that their pay roll will inev-
itably take slight incline upward.
We are not mentioning any names,
but such is the case in reference to
a certain team, and when that team
was already crowding the salary linn
it to the utmost it hardly stands to
reason that they are now paying less
for more expert service.

Portsmouth pitched Carl Ray yes
terday for the first three innings.
Carl has been in Newport News uni
form heretofore but in keeping with
the spirit of cooperation displayed
over in Virginia he was turned over
to the Truckers so that one team
in the League representing Vir-
ginia town might possibly have an
opportunity to win the bunting Carl
was very kind yesterday, however,
and due to his kindness he was sent
to the showers and Manning finished
the game from the fourth inning.
Norfolk and Richmond won yes
terday and this leaves Wilson the
same distance ahead in the race. We
are just three full games to the
good, and with "a month yet to go
this lead is not as big as we would
like. Taking another game from
Portsmouth this afternoon will help,
and if Suffolk and Rocky Mount
should happen to win we would be
very greatly indebted to them.
Tarboro took one from Newport

the matter is that it makes very lit

MosC0M cHls DEFEAT
GENEsEE TEAM 1O-9

The Moscow Cubs in a spirited
game at the fair grounds Sunday af-
ternoon defeated the Genesee White
Sox by the narrow score Of 10 to 8
The Moscow Cubs made it seven
straight victories by putting it over
the opposing team by good all round
play and Unfolding. The score tied
in the first innings and also in the
eighth. The rooters applied each side
for the work shown.
Genesee scored two in the ninth in
ming and the Cubs three making the
final result 10 to for the locals.
Glen Smith of the Cubs was the Babe
Ruth Of the game. He clouted out
two home runs and each hit won ap-
plause from the fans. Otto Eichner
pitched the first seven innings and
Harold Patterson finished for Mos
COW. Struck out by Eichner 6. By
L. Bumpus of Genesee, 6.
The Genesee boys comprised a
strong team and were older than
their opponents, hence the victory re-
bounds to the credit of the Moscow
Cubs. Manager Eastman was delight
ed with the vicory. This was a dol
lar benefit game to raise expenses for
Imbler.

REPORTS ON KAN RED
NOT UP TO AVERAGES
ELSEWHERE KANRED WHEAT
YIELDS ARE SATISFACTORY
WHAT is SAID IN KANSAS.

While a report on Kanred wheat, the
new wheat introduced in Latah coun-
ty, and which formed subject of a
report by Professor Bonnet of the
University, and o. S. Fletcher, coun-
ty agricultural agent few days ago,
inquiry at the office of the latter
showed Monday that the new offset
of the Turkey Red, produced at the
Kansas experiment station, was not
exactly suitable for conditions which
reign in this county. The following
from the associated press however
may be of interest to the farmers
here:
Uniformly higher yields for Kanred
wheat over other varieties are being
reported from other states to the
Kansas State Agricultural College
here as the grain is being threshed,
college officials say. Originally de-
veloped by the colleges experimental
station, Kanred is now extensively
used throughout Kansas, while it's
popularity has extended to the hard
wheat belt, from Texas to South Da-
kato.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture is planning its first estimate of
the total area seeded to Kanred in
the various states, it is reported at
the state agricultural college. The
last estimate, made by the college
here in 1920, showed 100000 acres
harvested in Kansas.
Over series of years, statistics
gathered by the agronomy depart
ment of the local college have shown
Kanred yielded from three to five
bushels more to the acre, on an aver
age, then Turkey, Kharkof and other
varieties common to the hard wheat
belt. In one Kansas field, part of
which was seeded to Kanred and the
rest to Turkey, the farmer got an
average of SO bushels an acre from
the Kanred and "a bushels an acre
from the Turkey.
An Oklahoma grower of Kanred has
written L. E. Call, agronomist of the
Kansas experiment station, that a
field of Kanred grown under condi-
tions similar to a field of Turkey
yielded 100 per cent better than the
older variety. Kanred's maximum
yield in Kansas is reported from
Lyon county where SO bushels to the
acre was obtained.

BANKER TAKES HOLD
OF CONCERN AS CHIEF
is ELECTED TRUSTEE WITH A
POWER AS EXECUTIVE TO
MOVE BUSINESS.

Following meeting of the board of
directors of the Farmers Warehouse
and Elevator Company recently held
with it's advisers, A. H. Oversmith, the
Latah County News says matters
concerning the future policy of the
corporation were taken up and action
determined so as to bring the COM
pany to the front, and make plans for
more development of its resources
J. A. Harsh, of Deary, banker and
business man, was made trustee and
executive head. Further information
is as follows:
'The board of directors will CO.
operate with Mr.. Harsh in all ways,
and every effort will be put forth to
bring the farmer investors in this
$4,000 enterprise out Of their diff
culties with colors flying. Mr.. Harsh
accepted the trusteeship only upon the
continued insistence of the stock
holders who have confidence in his
ability to handle it and very properly
feel that they may rely upon his in
terest in their behalf and in the ulti-
mate success of an important local
enterprise The arrangement as it
exists at present is a decided victory
for the company, for the stockholders
have feared that the backsets of the
past two or three hard and profitless
years would force them in bankruptcy.
GAS matters now stand the company
can and will go on as one of the big
business factors of the upper Potlatch
country. John Wade will have the
active management of the elevator.
Mr.. Harsh is now in Spokane to ar--
range with the Northwestern Wheat
Growers association to handle asso-
citation wheat through the house."
The company has every assurance
that matters will work out all right and
that cooperation will come their way
in the important business of moving
the grain. The directors have the
situation well, in hand it is stated and
from now on business will move.

PIONEERS NATAL DAY
CELEBRATED BY SONS

There was a gathering Of relatives,
sons, and other dear ones Sunday af-
ternoen at the home of a veteran and
pioneer resident of Moscow, L. H. Col
Inns, at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Ralph Hall on the occasion of
his 10Th natal day. Full of vigor and
"reminiscences he was given recep-
ton by his children, at the Pullman
home. Mr.. and Mrs. J. R. Collins,
Mr.. and Mrs. e. c. Collins, F. H. Col
lirs and their families carr .e1 out
the surprise.
The happy occasion recalled the
fact that Mr. Collins was the pioneer
who broke ground for Jim Deakin for
the university. He saw that stately
edifice grow from it's inception to the
present. He was one of the citizens
who helped to build up the county of
Latah. In agricultural circles he was
honored and is now a retired farmer
The children all occupy places of hon.
or in this community, and their re-
spected head felt proud on the oc-
casion that brought them all under
one roof.
The surprise was made after dinner.
Congratulations were given the father
and pioneer. Refreshments were
taken along and good time held.

LOCAL LUMBER DULL
PRECEOEs SHUT DOWN
MANAGER A. w LAIRD SHOWS A
SITUATION TO HELP THAT
MEANS LOSSES.

While losses of timber have been
relatively light and while some fires
have caused damage, with loss of logs
and equipment a small matter, the
piling up of lumber in mill yards, and
the absence of markets, with freight
rates above normal, no surprise was
occasioned in building circles of Mos
1cow and Latah county when announce
iment was made Monday that the Pot
latch mill will close down Saturday
next. The employees at Elk river were
given the hint some time ago.
At that time General Manager
Laird gave review of the conditions
confronting the lumber industry to
the employees. Mr.. Laird was in Spo-
kant last week comforting with lum-
ber men and incidentally negotiating
business with the banks. Money was
needed to keep on the mills and the
camps, but no success was had be-
cause of the time set to pay the pro-
posed loan. The employees who had
recently accepted a reduction in wages
of 20 per cent, were informed that the
only alternative was to close down.
S. M. Darrow of Potlatch, dele
gate to the Loyal Legion of Loggers
and Lumbermen Saturday at Spokane,
district At the convention it developed
that conditions in the lumber industry
were seriously affecting the men.
Heavy financial losses were being
faced, and among the companies at
fected was the Potlatch. The Elk
River mill had shut down, and mar
kets were not moving at all. In re-
gard to office and yard business at
Moscow and elsewhere repair work
and some few supplies for houses and
bungalows showed that building op-
erations had been relatively light.
Meanwhile the Forest Patrol of
which newspaper A. w. Laird Is the
president, says from now on the ut
most caution must be observed as the
woods are dry and there is still plenty
Of time for a serious fire season to
be experienced"

NARROW ESCAPE WHEN
MACHINE 0vERTURNS
@. G. WELLS is PINNED UNDER
A G. M. CT TRUCK-COM-
PANIONS MAKE RESCUE.

Q. G. Wells of the Vinegar plant,
with Henry Hites and J. Nail, while
coasting down the Lewiston grade
about 2 o'clock, Sunday afternoon had
q narrow escape from death in an un-
toward accident. Wells who was
driving a G. M. c. truck was sitting
on the brakes while the machine was
going down the hill. There was a
sharp turn there in the form of loop,
and loose gravel was in the road. To
make the turn he cut the machine
back. The steering gear locked and
caused the machine to skid on the
loose gravel and run into the steep
bank at the left side of the road.
Wells was pinned under the truck,
only his heal being visible to his com
panions. The gasoline began to sat
urate his body, and seeing this danger
of perhaps fire and explosion Hites
and Nail righted the machine so as
to extricate him, unconscious. He was
badly but not seriously hurt by the
overturn. Nail was badly bruised
and skinned. Hites was injured in his
right knee, and badly shaken up. Thy
truck had to be left. The windshield
was broken, the seat torn off, and the
iron gear bent and turned The three
men caught rides to Lewiston where
they were going to see the ball game.
Wells said at the Vinegar plant
Monday morning that the sharp turn
and the loose gravel coupled with the
fact that the steering gear refused
to act, caused the skidding against th
loose gravel. The truck smashed
right into the steep bank on the left
and COMPLETELY overturned. His COM
panions think he escaped by miracle
as when rescued he was completely
pinned under the machine. 1t was
miracle the gasoline did not explode
There were ten gallons of it on
board
The machine is in garage at
Lewiston. Repair men say the steer
ing gear was jammed. The men deny
a sinister canard circulated in Moscow
that they had liquor with them. They
wish this to be understood and say
further that the accident happened
exactly as stated.

ANXIETY IN MOSCOW
OVER MRS. ALMA AvER|LL

News reached this city Monday
that Mrs. Alma Averill, of Garfield,
well known in Moscow, was one of the
ill-fated passengers on the ship Alas
ka which crashed into the rocks at
Blunt's reef Sunday night, 40 miles
south of Eureka, California. The
latest dispatch, as seen in another
column, mentions that the passengers
saved amounted to 166, on the Onyx.
Her name is not mentioned in the list.
She had in charge four year old
Betty Jean Canders of Garfield,
Washington, the A. P. dispatch men
tions and that the child was taken by
Mrs. Averill into one of the lifeboats,
and that a few minutes later on the
lifeboat upset in launching and that
the child was thrown into the sea.
She was girded around with big life
belt and after tossing about some
hours was rescued. Mrs. Averill
placed the life belt around the little
one before they took to the boat.
A later dispatch mentions the child
as being among the passengers saved
by the Onyx, but no mention is made
of Mrs. Averill although she is sup
posed to have been saved with the
life boats crew.

MOMENTUM SETS BUICK
RUNNING DOWN THE HILL

Max Griffith of the Inland Mercan-
tile association paid his usual visit
to the Recorders office at the Court
house, Monday morning, and left his
new Buick car at the brow of the hill
outside. Whether or not the wind or
some other cause caused momen-
tum is not known, but the car started
down the hill until it swerved and
bumped into a tree on the west side.
The damages were slight, the fender
and protector being twisted little.
