Beauty of Grand Canyon of
the Colorado.

Washington.-Th lowly burro, en-
shrined In western legend las the
heroic prospector, has been officially
classed as 'vertable pest by the
United States government.
This animal, and its progeny In
countless numbers abandoned by its
former owners, according to Stephen
r. Mather, director of the national
park service, has selected the Grand
canyon of the Colorado for its habitat,
and the availability Of the canyons
scenic beauties in consequence are al
most disappearing.
The burro, Mr. Mather says, "de
stroys the trails. denudes the pastures
of grass and other forage so that ma

been forced out lie adds that ''the

DR.. {. A. BRYAN A
MOSCOW VISITOR
STATE COMMISSIONERS OF EDU-
CATION VISITS UNIVERSITY
ON OFFICIAL TOUR

DR.. E. A. Bryan, state commission
er of education, arrived in Moscow
Wednesday evening on official bust
ness in connection with the Univer-
sity of Idaho. He left for Boise
Thursday evening, after spending
some time in consultation with Presi-
dent Upham and held brief consul
tation with Executive Secretary Par
sons, after the latter returned from
Boise at noon, Thursday.
DR.. Bryan is very optimistic about
the future of the university as well
as general educational work in Idaho
He says there has never been time
when there was as friendly or deep
an interest in the university mani
tested in all parts of the state. He
thinks the general conditions are
good and has the utmost faith in the
ability of President Upham, who was
selected from 80 applicants for the
position of president of the univer-
sity, because of his record as an edu-
Gator and executive.
The test case to decide the status
of university funds and define the
powers of the regents over these funds
was urged before the state supreme
court at Boise, Tuesday by Dean
Cockerin representing the University
of Idaho, and the states attorney
will file a brief within few days.
The case, which is friendly suit to
define certain phases of law passed
several years ago, will probably be
taken under advisement and deci-
sion is not expected for some time.
Dean Cockerill, head of the law
who presented the uni
versitys case and L. F. Parsons, ex-
ecutive secretary returned to Mos
cow at 1875 Thursday. They repre-
sented the university's interests at
Boise and returned without waiting
for the state to file its brief

SOLUTION FOR FUEL PROBLEM
French Scientist Urges Use of Wind
and Water to Replace
Coal.

Pars.-Wind and water hold the so
luton of the fuel shortage in France,
f. Colardeau told his associates at the
Academy of Sciences at its last meet
ing.
He presented what he considered
proof in the results of an installation
on his kitchen faucet of water tur-
bine which drives dynamo that
charges storage batteries.
City pressure on the water, he ex-
planned, is sufficient to furnish q
household with electric light.
In the country, NJ. Coardean would
install windmills to pump water TO els-
waited tanks and utilize the fall of the
water through pipe TO turn the
charging turbine.
New interest has been taken here in
this idea of household installations.
because the higher costs of fuel and
power. it is considered, may make
practicable these water turbines.

| Resigning that position after two
years Of successful service, he return
ed to Colfax as rector of Good Sama-
ritan Episcopal church. But he was
not satisfied to be merely the rector
of this excellent church and engaged
in many other lines of work for the
unpift and bettering Of conditions.
He was one Of the active and aggress-
i've members of the Patriotic League,
organized at rColfax to teach Ameri-
canism and to carry on the sale of
Liberty bonds, raise money. for war
work and take charge of such acti-
vities He was secretary of the

man of the Red Cross and the Ameri-
can relief drives and was also chair
man of the S. 0. S. league of Whit
man, Grant and Adams counties, a

feat of the nonpartizans in the state
of Washington at the recent election.
Rev. Mr.. Mitchell is member of
the Blue lodge, chapter and comman-
derry of the Masons and is also a
member of the Knights of Pythias.
He came to Moscow because he
wanted to be near the great univer-
sity where he felt there is larger
field for his endeavors and we expect
him to become an active and useful
member of every movement for the
uplift of the school, the city and the
community generally.

vANDALS PLAY ". S. c.
HERE FRIDAY NIGHT
SPECIAL ROOFING SECTION TO
BE RESERVED FOR TOWN
PEOPLE.

Anxious to start the conference
season with victories, the Idaho Van
dals tomorrow night play w. S. c. at
the university gymnasium. Tonight
the same teams play at Pullman.
Since therece Mt game with S. A. A.
c., in which the visitors were routed
by an almost impossible score. Coach
Macmillan has been spending much
time in perfecting defense that will
be workable against any combination
Idaho may come up against. The de-
fensive system, which worked admir-
ably in the last contest, will probably
be even more perfect from techical
standpoint, but the speedy Pullman
ties will undoubtedly more success
fully solve it.
In order to- accommodate all towns
special section of seats will be re-
served exclusively for them.
Coach Macmillan is undecided as to
tomorrow nights lineup, waiting to
see how the different players show up
in the Pullman game tonight.
The most probable lineup is as fol-
lows:
Captain Elra Hunter of Moscow
and Eugene Hyde OF Boise Will start
at guards, with Bill Carder of Mos
COW at center; the forwards will be
selected from the Fox brothers, and
Lee Moe of Kellogg.
Prescott high school is scheduled to
appear in preliminary game against
the Idaho freshmen.
Doc Boiler has announced his w.
S. C. lineup as follows: Forwards,
Chick Rockey and Jack Friel; center
Dick Cisna or Bill King; guards,
Captain Pink McIver and Martcel

PALOUSE FARMERS
UNLOADING WHEAT
HEAVY SELLING PAST FEW DAYS
INDICATES FARMERS DE.
SPAIR OF ADVANCE.

Sales of wheat throughout the In
land Empire have been heavier the
past few days than at any time since
the price started on the downward
slope several weeks ago. There mas
been heavy selling at all points und
the indications are that many of the
farmers realize that higher prices are
not to be expected and are selling
their wheat before they have to )ay
additional charges and taxes on it.
A number of farmers sold their
wheat to Moscow dealers Wednesday,
at $1.46 for club and kindred varieties
in sacks, and $1.41, for bulk wheat
There was heavy selling at Collar,
Pullman, PalOuse, Endicott, Lewis
ton and Gamas Prairie points and the
indications are that wheat will move
rapidly from now on until the bulk of
the crop is sold.
The selling of wheat has already
had a good effect on business con-
dlt1Ons. The banks are showing In
creased deposits, debts are being paid
to the stores and money is "easier"
than 1t has been since early in the
fall.
Peas are still drug on the
market and sales at IL cents a
pound, or $50 per ton, are reported.
One man who is feeding bunch of
hogs bought 21 tons of peas at $30
per ton and says he could buy an un-
limited quantity at that price. 1t is
believed that peas will sell at this
price and will be used for feeding
various kinds of stock They are
ideal feed for hogs and when chopped
with oats are said to make splendid
feed for horses
A Nampa, Idaho, grower of and
dealer in hay, has written to Moscow
asking about prices here and it is
likely that cheaper hay will be had
here in the near future as hay has
been selling there for as low as 81
per ton and can be shipped into |
Latah county for much below the |
prices that are being paid locally. |
With cheaper feed for horses and |
hogs more hogs will be fed and more
horses will be put to work. It begins
to look like the return of normal
times with better conditions in all
lines

INTELLIGENCE OF HIGH ORDER
Remarkable Stories OF saaaolty Shown

The high intelligence Of horses was
superbly demonstrated during the war,

In which he played leading part. Oae
Of these will be the yagarles Of 4
Canadian generals thoroughbred,
which again and again refused to
bulge to the spur at times when there
was apparently no evidence Of the
slightest danger Twice he saved his
masters life by deliberate nets Of IN
subordlnonoh. Fhe latest yarn about
a pony that had race.track rcputa
ton is worth repeating in this conncc-
ZION. Every morning its owner
hrcaeht this pony into the dlulng room
~ the house In which the narrator was
hllleted, and led him round the table.
The pony was offered all sorts Of
dantles, hut he would only touch
slices Of bread and butter, of which
he was lnordInatcly fond. II was not
big room. and there was not much
space between the wall aud the table,
so II he had shown any rcstlessncss
the table and all that was on II must
have been demolished. He, however,
behaved always with the manners OF

Of bread and butter had 70 be rv
