In the county and that these booklets

EDITOR
TALKS TO STUDENTS
JOEL L. PRIEST, WHO GAVE UP
NEWSPAPER WORK FOR RAIL-
ROADING, is HERE.

"NeWspapermen are born and not
! made; the reporter must work long
hours and often for inadequate pay
to be successful. He must be recon-
] pensated by love for his task, Joy
in his work, and an unfailing loyalty
to whatever he undertakes" so spoke
Joel L. Priest, general agent of the
Oregon Short Line, in a talk before
student assembly at the university
this forenoon. Mr.. Priest for many
years was metropolitan newspaper
reporter and covered many of the
biggest national events of the time.
His talk was replete with humorous
remarks and his telling of incidents
while reporting for eastern news
papers were eagerly absorbed by the
students.
In his opening remarks, Mr.. Priest
told OF how, as a young man, he went
to work for the City Press associa-
ton In Chicago for the magnificent
sum of $40 week. He spoke of the
many heart-rending scenes he came
in contact with while being assigned
to the city morgue and said if he had
not seen brighter days before him, he
would certainly have left newspaper
work at once
Later he was transferred to a
'police run" where he saw all types
OF humanity and had ample opportu-
nifty to watch detectives search out
criminals of all descriptions. Through
solving preplexing angle in muir
der case, he-was offered position on
the Chicago Herald, which he quickly
accepted.
He also covered big racing meet
during this time and told the students
that if any of them had any foolish
notions about being able to "beat the
races" they had better forget them.
Reporters and others who were IN so
closely in touch with every race were
continually out Of money because of |
playing "sure tips" "You can't beat
the races" said Mr.. Priest, "The only
time | ever won 1 left the money in |
a telephone booth and someone else |
got it."
In an exceptionally entertaining
manner, Mr.. Priest traced his life on
he Chicago paper and told of the
Worlds Fair in 1893 which he charac-
,erized as the greatest event of this
nature of all time
In speaking of newspaper articles
lie said the greatest story ever writ
en was the Bible story of the life of
Christ. It is only $50 words long,
ontains more than 200 words of but
me syllable each and proves the
newspaper mans belief that no story,
egardless Of its Importance, need be
ver half or three quarters of col
INN long.

ent A. H. Upham said he was in

MAYOR GIBSON IN
REPLY TO 0vERsM|TH
CITY HEAD DEFENDS SEPTIC
TANK AND DELAY AND HIS
ADMINISTRATION.
Moscow, Idaho, April 81, 1921.
Editor Star-Mirror:

Editor Star-MfrrOr.
Mr. Oversmith in his letter to the
public last night says that he would
like to make the septic tank the issue
In the coming city election. am moi
so much interested in the city cleo
tion as am in what he says about the
tank question. Being as much re-
spOnsible as the council for the hand
ling of the matter, would like to say
a word or two to the public When
the present administration began two
years ago, we found that the bonds
had been sold, the levy made, the site
purchased, contract for the gravel
let, and engineer employed to do the
work by day labor.
The citizens of Moscow will re-
member that almost Immediately the
price of labor went soaring, material
was in some cases raised 100 per
cent. To further complicate matters,
neither material nor labor could be
had. Much of the delay has been
caused by the fact that it was entire
ly impossible to get gravel delivered.
Even now that is what is holding up
the diminishing of the septic tank.
We do not attempt to shift respon-
sibility, but doubt very much il any
group of men could have taken the
situation as we found It, and nave
gotten along with it under the same
circumstances any better. The cost
will be about 25 per cent to 30 per
cent above estimates and many en-
-terprises even Of private nature
have cost SO per cent more than esti-
mates of that time.
l have been connected with the city
now for six years as mayor, nave
given lots of time and thought to the
affairs Of the city and do not feel
ashamed of the record made during
the whole time. Mr. Oversmith does
not mention such matters as solving
the water problem Zone of the most
serious that we had) getting the new
water tank, protecting the city from
grafters, and conserving our funds.
There probably has been some mis-
takes made. There is most sure to
be In any administration, but both
myself the council have given most
careful consideration to the cfty's
affairs and do not feel that tnere IS
any need of serious criticism from
the business viewpoint.
