The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1921-06-10

Flood waters that wipe out entire
communities and do millions OF dol
lars damage in a few hours, really
move slowly, as compared with other
things to which we are accustomed.
Last Friday night the flood waters
swept down upon Pueblo, Colorado
and destroyed hundreds Of lives and
millions of dollars worth of property.
The flood was in the Arkansas river,
which rises in the mountains OF Colo
RADIO and empties into the Mississippi
in Arkansas, it's total length being
less than 1000 miles. Today, one
week after the flood at Pueblo, comes
word from Great Bend, Kansas, that
the flood has just reached there, the
town being overflowed with the flood
from the Arkansas river, that destroy
ed Pueblo a week before. Great
Bend is not to exceed 800 miles from
Pueblo An automobile or a train
would make that distance in day.
A team would make it in the same
length OF time it has taken the flood
to go that distance. Yet, despite its
seeming slowness, the flood is threat
ening to prove very destructive to
many towns along the Arkansas river
in Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Northern Idaho seems to be faring
well at the hands of the Harding ad-
ministrat If press dispatches and
statements made by politicians are to
be believed North Idaho got the in
ternational revenue collectorship, one
of the best plums to be offered, when
Evan Evans, of Grangeville, was en-
dorsed by Senators Borah and Good ::
ing. Now it is announced the next !:
Moscow, or Angus Sutherland, of
Wallace. AS there are four "big"
p1uns to be given out, the internal
revenue collectorship, United States
marshal, United States district attor
ney and federal prohibition enforce
ment officer, it looks like north Idaho
is certain to get at least two of these
or so per cent, which is at least so
per cent better than was expected.
Maybe north Idaho will not want a
divorce from south Idaho after all.

Moscow should take an interest in
the summer school which begins here
next Monday. The students" who
attend this school will be, in the main,
teachers from the grade and high
e1<rl,< ~l~ - dol IL ~
states. If they gain a favorable opin- I
ion of Moscow and the University of
Idaho they can and will be a great
help in advising students with whom
they come in contact, to enroll here !
The University of Idaho will have
3 900 students enrolled within short
lime. That means much to Moscow
as we'll as much to the entire state.
Let us make these teachers feel at
home and make their stay among us
rs pleasant as possible. f
