 Personal initiative and private property in trade and industry must exist. The peasants will insist upon a governmental regulation and d public control of the economic ac- tivities, thus protecting the inter csts of the laborers, consumers, the state and industry. Naturalization is acceptable only for those branches of industry which bear general state significance.

Dry Agents to Tell
 How Public Reacts

WASHINGTON, Oct. .. = With d view of getting the public reaction on Prohibition enforcement in the various States, the Prohibition Blu reau has called for monthly reports from each Prohibition Director oi the following points:
 The attitude of juries; steps taken to cooperate with law enforcement agencies; the attitude of the press, with special reference to any changes; the Directors opinion of his subordinates; any progress made in the disposition of seized liquor, and all other matters of inDerest to the bureau.
 Assistant Commissioner Jones. in telling of these reports, said they would be made public unless it is thought that unusual circumstances make this inadvisable. This will be a reversal in policy, as heretofore similar reports have been kept secret. It has been thought that this secrecy was due to the alarm ing conditions such reports are be- lieved to have revealed, but MT. Jones denied this
 The Assistant Commissioner also denied that the new request for the monthly reports indicates any weak ness in enforcing the dry laws. He lded that public cooperation in the work of enforcement is constantly improving and that the bureau has had remarkable success in recover ing liquor stolen from warehouses,

CHILE WOULD SETTLE PERU
 CASE DIRECT
Country Would Open Direct Negotiations to Settle
 Tacna Africa Dispute.

LIMA, Oct. 1.-The 40-year-old dis been, aired again in the newspapers here following reports received from Chile to the effect that country de- sires to hquidate the Tacna and Africa question by direct settlement" with her northern neighbor. Peru, however. favors arbitration, in the opinion of the Lima press.
 Fl ComerciO, in lengthy editorial on the issue, asserts that Peru has always sustained a policy of arbitra tion and that the Several attempts that have been made to reach a. dis rect settlement have resulted in abso lute fiascos.' The paper thinks that direct. settlements between peoples of unequal military strength signify the triumph of the interests of the stronger while arbitration never can be entirely favorable to one of the parties"
 Fl Tiempo. generally regarded as the semiofficial organ, also expresses displeasure over reports of "prOpOs- als to reach a solution of the con. troversy by means of direct negotia- tions." It favors arbitration. This paper charges that Chile now wishes to hold the much discussed plebiscite after the detained provinces have been through process of Chilean. ization' during the past 10 years" fs
 The treaty of Ancon, concluded be- tween Chile and Peru in 1884. pro- vided for plebiscite 10 years later to determine the definite ownership cf the provinces. of Tacna and Africa but this has never been held owing to the failure of the two countries to reach an agreement over the basis on which the vote would be taken.
 Bolivia endeavOred to submit treaty of 1904 out of the Tacna-Arica dis pute to the League of Nations as. semblys in it's present session but Chile demurred and the assembly hesitated to undertake the solution of the question because it might in volve the Monroe Doctrine. It was then proposed to refer to commis- sion of the league the question whether the assembly was competent to decide the issue.

ENOR many years the Standard Oil
IL Company New Jersey has main
tanned special division of its staff
whose activities are devoted en-
tirely to the development of new
products and the constant improve
ment of those already being manu-
featured. A large share of the
work of this Development Depart
ment centers around the produc-
ton and quality of 'Standard"
Motor Gasoline.
AS result of continuous research
work and exhaustive, practical road
tests conducted by this Department,
we are able to announce the pro-
duction of decidedly improved
quality of gasoline;
The 'sStandard" Motor Gasoline
which is now obtainable at every
'sStandard' filling pump is i'm
proved not only in one particular
respect but in every way that has
a bearing on the actual perform
ance of motors.
The average gasoline user is not
aware of the large number of fac
tors that govern the quality Of gaso-

line he buys. In fact, he usually
doesn't care about the factors. He
is interested, first, last and always,
in the quality as it is delivered to
him. So, without wealth of tech
nical information, the motorist
measures gasoline quality by one,
and what is after all the final, de-
Gliding test, namel y-its behavior
in his motor.
Gasoline must be good not in one
respect but in all respects. To make
it seem better, even to an expert,
without really being better, is not
an improvement. Cur present prod
uct is really better from every
standpoint SO much SO that you
will quickly notice the difference.
1t has never been the epractice Of this
company to claim economies and
technical merits for its products
which the average motorist could
not prove for himself. Give ''Stand-
arr" Motor Gasoline a trial. This is
all we ask you to do. We are con-
fident that, purely on the basis ofits
performance and economy, you will
use it regularly. Try it today.

Palouse country, formerly resident
of Moscow and for 40 years resi-
dent of the Inland Empire, was in
Moscow on business Friday night and
Saturday. Mr.. Buchanan makes his
home in Spokane, but has the entire

work as he has leased large part Of
his land and will have time to spare
for this line of work. Mr. Buchanan
said: "Mr. Barton has had eNreri-
once in the work and knows every
body and I believe will make All ideal
agent for Latah county" Mr.. Bar
ton formerly represented the com

sible, how many will attend so that
arrangements can be made to feed

ELECTRIC SERVICE is
SEVERELY CONDEMNED

Pullman citizens who, like those Of
Moscow, are dependent upon the
Washington Water Power Company,
are very pronounced in their con-
demnation of the service rendered by
that company. The breaking of the
line last Wednesday, which prevented
the issue Of The Star Mirror, also de-
layed the publication of the Pullman
Weekly Herald one day and incon-
venienced many Pullman citizens. AS
a result the Pullman chamber of
commerce has taken the matter up
and appointed committee to confer
with the Washington Water Power
Company with a view to securing
better service The Pullman Herald
devotes it's leading editorial column
to condemnation of the service rem
dered by the Washington Water Pow
er Company, which it says has been
bad for months, and that breaks in
the line and "power being off" have
been so frequent that business inter
ests are suffering financial loss. Con-
ditions appear to be as bad at Pull
man as at Moscow, where there has
been much complaint because of the
poor service.

Persistent rumors that the big
Williamson store rooms are to again

recently. All kinds Of rumors have
been heard but. most of them connect

Grated the big store, with the propos-

BELIEVE IDAHO MAN
KILLED WIFE AND SELF

Investigation into the mysterious
death of Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney G.
Smith, of near Standpoint, whose
home was burned in the middle of the
afternoon a few days ago, and whose
charred bodies, with arms and legs
burns off were found in the ruins,
leads to the belief that Smith killed
his wife and himself and set fire to
the house. AS the fire occurred in
broad daylight and neither of the oc-
cupants were sick, it looked like muir
der and suicide. An incident that
leads to the belief that Smith killed
his wife and then committed suicide
was the finding of one Of Smiths
horses dead in the barn, having been
shot in the head twice with a 22-
calibre rifle The coroner is investi-
eating the case. A jury returned a
verdict of death from unknown
causes

ASK BETTER GRADE
UP BIG BEAR RIDGE
|KENDRICk HIGHWAY COMMITS
SIONERS BOOST FOR IT
HUNTERS GOT THREE DEER.

The Kendrick Highway Commits
sioners met unofficially with a dele
Egation of good roads boosters from
Big Bear ridge last Friday afternoon
to consult with them concerning the
making of a new grade at Pine Creek
1t was proposed to build a section
of the grade this spring and put it
ion five per cent grade. The plans
est part of the present grade. Most
of the building of the new read would
be done by the donation of labor and
money, which, it is said, has already
been subscribed. There is a hitch in
the plans in securing a right-of-way
for short distance, but if this diff
ficulty can be bridged there is every
reason to believe very substantial
improvement in the Pine Greek grade
will be made this spring.
The Bear Ridgers who are served
by this grade have an abominahle
piece of road to travel at this time,
in order to get to town. They offer
40 do most of the work in improving
it provided the Highway Commits
sioners will devote the use of the
road machinery and furnish a man
to run the tractor

son, Lester, Ben Callison and son,
Norla, returned Sunday from a deer
hunt to the North Fork country, near

nearly three feet deep there so they
changed their plans and headed for
the North Fork country. They hunt
ed four days and the party of five
returned with three deer. 1t took six
days to go and come.

Seal Sales Totaled S229.75.

Mrs. ]. H. Forney, who had general
charge of the seal sales for the holi
days, states that the sales in Moscow
aggregated $229.75 While this is
not as much as was hoped for she re-
CARDS the total as quite satisfactory
when the comparatively low price of
wheat and small amount of grain sold
are considered in connection with the
general depression and financial strin-
gency. Mrs. Forney says the commit
tee extends its thanks to the people
of Moscow who contributed to this
worthy cause.
