UNIVERSITY BALL
TEAM TO MONTANA
WILL PLAY WHITMAN AT WAL
LA WALLA TONIGHT THEN
JUMPS TO MISSOULA.

Coach David MacMillan's Univer-
sity of Idaho Vandals tonight will
meet the fast Whitman college five in
the first contest of two-game Sc
ries. From Walla Walla, Idaho bas-
keteers will jump to Missoula for a
two-affray series with the capable
Montana Bruins.
Both Whitman and Montana have
played invincible basketball on their
own floors thus far this season and
the going may prove trifle rough
for MacMillan's warriors. The Mis-
sionaries are expected to prove par
ticularly formidable if Carver, Rey-
nolds and Comrade, who have been on
the hospital list for several weeks,
are again able to perform.
Coach Macmillan will start against
Whitman the same lineup that proved
so effective against Gonzaga Satur-
day night, using Les Moe of Kellogg
and Al Fox Of Nez Perce and Cap
tain Elra Hunter Of Moscow at the
guards.
The present trip will bring Idaho's
1921 basketball season to close un-
less arrangements are made for
Spokane series between the Vandals
and either Oregon or the University
of Washington.

BRITISH GET FEW
IRISH REPUBLICANS
NOT MANY MEMBERS OF IRISH
REPUBLICAN ARMY WERE
TAKEN PRISONERS.

DUBLIN-Of the 1000 prisoners
confined in internment camps in Ire
land the vast majority, according to
spokesman of the Sim Fein, are nom
combatants, many middle-aged and
some quite elderly. Few, it is assert
ed, are the much-sought members of
the Irish Republican Army.
The prisoners include men in every
walk of life only limited number of
whom, it is said, took an active part
in the republican movement. Among
them are many whose principal Of
tense, it is stated, was the interest
they displayed in the Gaelic League,
an organization which for many years
has sought to revive the Irish Ian
guage.
A statement regarding the death of
the two prisoners, Joseph Tormey
and Patrick Sloane. at Ballykinlar
Camp, County Down, recently has
been given out by the Sim Fein pub
licity bureau here. 1t says that the
official report that the two men were
shot for disobeying the orders of
sentry was Incorrect, that the sentry
fired without provocation while the
men were standing at a point which
by official notification to the prison
ers was not out Of bounds.
The Sim Fein commandant of. the
prisoners reports, it is stated, that
several proisners have been fired on
by sentries without cause, and that he
himself narrowly escaped sentry's
bullet while walking on the road near
the spot where Tormey and Sloane
were killed.

GLEE CLUB RETURNS
FROM SUCCESSFUL TOUR


"The most successful tour in the
history of the Glee Club" is the way
Manager Boyde Cornelison and other
members of the club speak OF the
tour of Idaho brought to close by
the return of the club Monday even
ing. The club visited all important
points in northern and southern Ida
no and was greeted with packed
houses almost every place. At num-
Der of points the club also went to
the high schools and sang there and
never failed to make hit" and get
enthusiasm aroused among the high
school students. II believe the high
schools of Idaho feel as they have
never felt before that they are part
OF the University of Idaho and that
they will take more interest in the
university than they have ever taken"

SMALL CHILD DIES
PARENTS NEED HELP
PITIABLE CASE CALLS FOR AS
B SISTANCE FROM MOSCOWsS
BENEVOLENT PEOPLE.

Death, under any circumstances
is pitiable, but case that calls for
sympathy and help and is accom-
panied by unusually sad features, oc-
Cured Tuesday afternoon when the
seven-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. E. Moorehead, recent arrivals from
La Grande, Oregon, died as result
of pneumonia in the Hill apartments,
on South Jefferson street, next to the
creamery.
The family came here recently
from La Grande, Oregon, seeking
work. They had little means. They
secured room at the Hill apart
ments and the boy was taken i'll. It
is his fifth attack Of pneumonia and
he could not Withstand it. Death
came shortly after noon Tuesday.
The body was taken to Grice's under
taking parlors.
DR.. J. w. Stevenson county health
officer, who has been looking after
the family reported the case to the
county commissioners and asked for
assistance. This will come, in time,
but the family must have help now.
DR.. Stevenson collected about $25
Tuesday afternoon and wants every
one who can contribute anything USE
full to send it along at once.
The husband and father is young
man, able and willing to work, and
needs employment. The family need
immediate assistance and DR.. Ste
venson asks the charitable people of
Moscow to contribute what they can
to help the family for short time
until Mr.. Moorehead can get work.

SOUTHERN EUROPE
NEEDS MORE CARS
HO-SLOVAKIA SHORT OF
TRANSPORTATION SAYS
MINISTER OF TRADE.

LONDON-(By A. P.)-Lack of
locomotives and freight cars to trans
port food and other supplies is one of
the worst features of the distressing
situation which prevails in Eastern
and Southern Europe, says M. Hoto-
vec, the Czechoslavak Minister for
Foreign Trade, who has been visiting
in London.
The minister said that there were
tens of thousands Of freight cars in
those parts of Europe which were in
need of repairs but could not be re-
essary material and technical experts
to do the work.
He asserts that the peace treaty
had laid down the proposition that the
Reparations Commission would dis
tribute all railway rolling stock and
locomotives which had belonged to
Austria-Hungary and those which
were surrendered by Germany, but
that virtually nothing had been done
in this direction, although more than
three years had elapsed since the
treaty. M. Hotovec declared that this
was the cause of non-development of
trade and the consequent food prices
in Central Europe.
Czeschoslovakia, he said, had been
supplying coal and sugar to Austria
in her own railway cars.
They had, however, never been re-
turned. There were at present 5000
such cars in Austria which Czecho-
slovakia could not get back. There
were also about 1000 each in Jugo
slavia and Rumania. Czechoslovakia
had purchased 100000 tons of grain
and flour in Rumania and Jugoslavia
but was unable to obtain delivery.

FARMER WRITES ON
BUILDING HIGHWAYS
NJ. L. SMITH ADVANCES SOME
IDEAS ON BUILDING SUB
STANTIAL ROADS

| That Washington has spent money
| for roads that will not "hold up" I'M
der heavy traffic, and that Idaho is in
danger of making the same mistake,
is the opinion of M. L. Smith, well
known Latah county farmer, who has
written an article setting forth his
His letter follows:s
Dear Editor:
There is a great deal of talk all
over the country for good roads, and
a lot of money being appropriated for
that cause, and spent-one may use
the word spent but it is the wrong
term as far as the evidence left from
work that has been done is concerned.
say, as a great many say, it is
money thrown away.
/ came from Spokane to Cotton jHst
lately on the much talked of highway
and what | saw for road was the
worst / ever drove over. One may
say there is no road.
The people are kicking about our
high taxes, but they still demand ap-
preparations of immense sums to build
good roads.
One some times wonders If they
don't know that every dollar appro-
priated for different Improvements by
our county or state must be met by
taxation.
| believe in good roads and don't say
this to be knocker, / merely mean
to help make the people see that we
are not spending our money right in
this road game.
There has been some talk of reduc-
ing the rock on the main road run
ming through Moscow. If such is done
it isn't only money thrown away, hut
an injustice to the tax payers, for the
rock thickness that was first planned,
is far too light.
Now is the time for the people to
look into this road business and see
to it that their money is rigxtfully
spent. | don't say that the men we(
have handling this work are dishonest
it is up to the people rs let them
know what they want and help them
in this work.
If we can't raise money TO rut
down lot of road each year, which
we must, we should go slower and the
roads we build, build to stay. There
is no need of making the same mis-
take over and over again when we
have SO many jobs done, and tried
out to judge from
Some people say that heavy trucks
are what spoiled the roads we have
surfaced at present. Yes, those large
trucks did their share of the damage,
but If we spend hundreds Of thofls-
ands of dollars for road and. then
can't use it for anything but pleasure
cars, i say we are very short sighted
class of people.
We are past the playing age right
now Some one has got to work II we
pay our debts.
The big engineer has taken bis
energies from the pleasure car and
put them into trucks for the simple
reason he sees we must start to work
and quit Joy riding.

LOWER FREIGHT RATES
FOR PACIFIC COAST
CALIFORNIA GROWERS TAKE
FIGHT TO WASHINGTON TO
SECURE REDUCTIONS

Los Angeles Especial to The Star
Mirror, )-The first gun in the fight
for an immediate reduction in the ad-
vanced railroad freight rates, being
waged by agricultural interests Of the
Pacific Coast, will be fired in Wash
ington this week when attorneys for
the citrus industry of California, Pc
tition the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for hearing. The applica-
ton will be based on figures which
lowed to stand, the fresh fruit and
vegetable industries of the west will
be annihilated.
c. c.. league, president of the Cali
fornia Fruit Growers Exchange, in a
statement describing the 9deplorable
condition of the citrus industry" poin-
ted out that prevailing freight rates
will impose burdens upon the apple
growers of the northwest, potato, on :
lon and fresh vegetable growers Of
California and the deciduous fruit pro-
ducers of the west, greater than the
industries can stand.
While all rail Rates were adyance.l
first rs per cent and then 33 1-3 Fer
cent 1t is stated that perisha5ls pro-
ducts of heavy tonnage are the most
seriously affected
"This is shown" declared league,
when it is considered that the orange,
lemon and apple growers are required
acre In freight rates, while the pro-
ducers of low tonnage commodities
pay under the new schedule only from
$40 to $50 more per acre.
"The increases mean much less to
the producer of small tonnage crops
OF high value. These industries can
stand the added burden and exist.
With the heavy tonnage crops, the
advanced rail rates make it impossible
for the growers to continue in busi-
ness"
Lemon producers of California in
some cases, have already abandoned
or up-rOOted their groves because the
high freights have caused them to
operate at loss.
The fresh vegetable industry will be
reduced 100000 acres this season, ac-
cording to Thomas O'Neill, president |
of the California Vegetable Union,
who states that unless the present |
rates are Immediately reduced, the |
industry will be wiped ont, land values
will be destroyed and thousands Of /
workers will be thrown out OF en-
ployment.
The excessive rates instead OF pro-
ducfng more revenue for the rail
roads, declared O'Neill, "as they we're
intended to do, will reduce tonnage,
for producers can not long continue
