CHAMBER ON FIRE CLAYs
LATAH COUNTY EXCELS FOR
WHITE WARE CLAYS-FOR
BIG INDUSTRY

Ernest Goodner of the geological
survey of the United States bureau,
who had the opportunity at the head
office in Seattle of examining and
reporting on fire clays which would
wash for white chinaware, was in
troduced by Dean Thomson of the
University bureau of mines at the
noon tide dinner of the chamber of
commerce Wednesday and gave an
excellent report and review of what
should prove to be an important in
dustry for Moscow and Latah county.
He said in part:
"The U. S. bureau of mines has ex-
amined carefully into the resources
of Latah county in respect not only
of fire clays proper, but also on the
clays that properly washed would OBJ
tain for white ware equal to any in
the country. This work was done by
us at the Seattle office and labora-
tory and although we have examined
all clays over the United States only
four of the states produce the right
kind Of clays for white chinaware the
equal OF the English kind.
1--WE know there are few places in
the country that can produce a fire
clay equal to that found in Latah
county The raw material is right
here. This region is especially for
tunate for the clays are like the
English clays and they will work out
good, better even than the clays of
the east. There is an excellent op-
portunity here. Take the electric
power business alone. Thousands of
insulators will be required on the
coming reclamation projects.
''Latah county should put in a plant
of moderate size to begin with" said
the speaker in part. III feel quite sure
the future will see the industry es
tablish on big scale. My advice
is push it and go ahead" The speak
-er was given vote of thanks for his
address.

BOY SCOUTS AND ALL
GIRL WORKERS THANKED
COMMITTEE ON WADING POOL
GIVES OUTLINE OF WHAT
is ACCOMPLISHED.

Showing that delegates had waited
on the Common council; that the city
administrator had assured the COM
mittee of it's unqualified support; that
the project for camping grounds had
advanced on all preliminary matters,
and that development was the prime
object, Mr.. Davis, member OF the
committee gave a pertinent address at
the noon-tide dinner of the chamber
of commerce Wednesday. Chairman
Hagan complimented the speaker on
the success of the movement so far,
and called on Mr.. Parsons to outline
the work on the campaigning for the
Wading pool
Mr.. Parsons said the sale of the
tags by the boys and girls had
amounted to $470.50 The Rotary
club contributed $10O, voluntary
contribution. When the committee
found these amounts did not total
enough there was voluntary con-
tribution raised of $100 at SIS per head
from IA persons. Mrs. Mart P. Miller
met the committee and assumed the
balance of $50. Mr. Lauder sold eight
of the tags and will report on more.
An incidental was a contribution of
$3.50 thru Mrs. Trait.
This amount, said the speaker, had
lain in one of the banks since 1913.
Boys collected the money. There was
one donation of so cents and the rest
was in pennies and nickles. The fund
was for a wading pool. There was
another fund somewhere in one of the
banks which was begun for the same
purpose eight years ago. The total
$681. 1t was with pleasure
the speaker said contribution of
s1OO more would be raised by city
as soon as official action
could be taken by it at the next meet
ing.
The disbursements for the Wading
pool was in prizes to the amount of
SIG. The first prize was SIS; the sec
ond, So, and the third 81. The Harsh
boy who collected over $100 came in
for the 81 given for every $32.50 col
Lected and he is at the top. The print
ing cost $500. Total $31.25, leaving
a balance of $3.50. The estimated
cost of the pool was $3.50 for certain
portions; and this with accessories,
rock cement, dressing rooms, benches,
made total of $753.
Mr.. Parsons gave vote of thanks
to all who assisted especially to Scout
master Hawley and the boys and girls.
and to the Star Mirror.

MINIMUM PROCESS TO
RULE ON AVERAGES
FARMERS OF LATAH COUNTY
INTERESTED IN PLANS
IN A. P. DISPATCH.

Mail matter from the associated
press Wednesday of interest to far
mers of Latah county gives a pointed
explanation of the measure which had
passed he South Dakota legislature
and endorsed by farming and banking
associations and shows that the plan
proposed had been presented to the
senate agricultural committee at
Washington, D. c., W. H. Lyons is the
author of this plan. The press article
is as follows in part:
In explaining the plan Mr. Lyons
says: 'The stabilization plan would
have the National Government guar
antee to farmers the average cost of
producing staple, n-perishable,
crops, plus reasonable profit, by
agreeing to purchase whatever sur
plus remains on hand at the end of
the crop year, delivered at certain
central terminals and at a stipu-
lated minimum price
"This surplus in every staple crop,
should prove excessive, the stabilizing
commission, fairly representing both
producers and consumers, appointed
by the President, would probably re-
duce the price for the following year
and increase the price of other pro-
ducts in which a shortage might ex-
ist and thereby induce our farmers to
increase production of flax, wool, and
sugar which we now so largely i'm
port, at a cost of several hundred mil
lion dollars a year.
''The government under the plan
must necessarily control the imports
of such products and through the sta
bilizing commission would purchase
abroad, at the world price level, any
deficit required and sell to our manu-
facturers at not less than the guaran-
teed price Except that intended for
export) thereby making profit of
the difference between the cost and
selling price. Speculation in food
products so abhorrent to the general
public would, of course, be automatic
ally eliminated below the guaranteed
price.
"Now, when the farmer succeeds in
producing a crop he does not know
whether to sell for fear the price will
go down, or hold for a better market.
Knowing in advance the guaranteed
minimum price of the various pro-
ducts, the farmer can use his land and
ability to the best possible advantage
and the rental and salable value Of
land will be largely stabilized. The
guaranteed minimum price, of course,
should not be made sufficiently high
to induce speculation in farm lands
or produce an excessive surplus.
"Under the stabilizing plan the
farmer would receive the same price
of road conditions. I'm
der the present system the highest
price usually prevails when roads
are bad or elevators congested and
delivery is difficult or impossible.
When these conditions improve the
price goes down."

DISTRICT CLERK IS
BOOSTING BIG CROPS
GOES OVER LUMBER WOODS AT
CEDAR SECTION AND GETS
AN ESTIMATE.

Homer Estes, and family, bright
and clipper, arrived home after fine
time in the country north of Potlatch.
When seen at the Court house We'd
nesday, the district clerk was bubbling
over with enthusiasm regarding the
agricultural outlook The family were
guests of Alvah Strong, his brother
in-law who is lumber man OF that
section. The chief frolic was to 60
four miles over the fire trail and hunt
for huckleberries. These are plenti-
full this season.
Fall grain appears to be unusually
heavy this season." he stated. "The
sight of the wheat fields was wonder
full, and when that is said | mean that
we may expect some unusual averages
in fall wehat. There is no gainsaying
that the crops look fine. We saw
activity all around US. Teams were
hauling, machines were cutting and
binding, and everywhere there was
activity in the fields. There will be
averages chronicled that will make
the mill and elevator men stare this
season. The .spring wheat however
may not be SO heavy.
"Another matter. We enjoyed an
station Activity in the lumber sec
tions to the station was one stream of
activity. Cedar telegraph poles were
piled up in the woods on all sides and
in all directions Teams would be
taken to one section and poles of re-
quired length would be loaded.
Lengths were gotten together and
placed where required Men were di-
vided on this work of asserting.
There was big trucking and big haul
ing. The estimate was that $4,000
worth Of cedar poles in the woods"
Mr. Estes was pleased with his out
ing and the opportunity given him of
seeing the big crops and the lumber
woods. His wife, sons and daughter
all report a good time.
