COMMERCIAL OIL FOUND
hICELLAR OF THE HOUSE

Attorney John Nesbit, who has beer
in Spokane, brought home bottle oi
oil that has excited curiosity in local
legal and commercial circles. The oil
was discovered in the section neal
the Sacred Heart hospital and is
thought to have seeped to the house
on the Southeast Boulevard. The in
mates when shifting coal which was
placed in the furnace experienced an
explosion and the police was called.
They found the oily substance around
the black diamonds. It was found to
be seeping into a small hole in the
ground in the cellar.
Another hole seeped with the same
oil. Analysis was made of the oil
which 1t was thought came from the
shale rock beyond the house and 1t
was found to contain 2 per cent nap
tha; 8 per cent parafine; 2 per cent
gasoline; 80 Burling oil; 4S lubricat-
ing, and the remainder, 13 per cent
was coke. Leading chemists pro-
nounced it most wonderful oil for
medical purposes. 1T runs 10 gall
Ions in "a hours. One of the holes
Is inches deep and the other 18
inches deep in the cellar Of the
house. Mr.. Nesbit says company
may be formed to work the discovery.

VICTORIOUS CUBS A
BOOST FOR TR|-sTATE
WINNERS OF CHAMPION BELT
GIVEN AN OVATION WHEN
ARRIVING HOME

The Moscow Cubs arrived last night
in two cars from the Imbler trip G
p Mix and Pat Richards drove the
cars. Manager Eastman said Monday
morning that it was grand excur-
sion and worth much to the Cubs
mascot, Sonny Frazier, who was sick
on the way going out. Pitcher Har-
old Patterson, who was billed to pitch
! part of the second game, was sick the
second day and was unable to play.
| Eichner started the first game, pitch
! ing four innings and was relieved by
Patterson who held Imbler to six
runs in six innings.
Chamberlain started the second
game. Imbler hit for IL runs in the
first four innings. He was relieved
by Collins in the seventh, Imbler
scoring four more runs on Collins.
Another matter and decidedly unfair
to the Moscow Cubs was the fact that
four OF the regular 4mbler players in
the second game dropped out and
were substituted for by four larger
boys. Both games were we'll played.
The attendance and gate receipts were
twice as large as when Imbler played
here. Imbler is town Of $50 but has
many surrounding towns.
The results of the first game were
'16 to 13 in favor of the Moscow Cubs.
The second game was Is to II in
favor of Imbler, making the Cubs
winners of 3out Of games and trans
ferring the championship belt to
Moscow. A more sociable hospitable
bunch of people would be hard to
find, says the manager, than those in
Imbler in a little city located down
in the valley which is perfectly
beautiful" The Blue Ridge noun
tains near make it very picturesque
Ollie Hall hit a homer in the eighth
inning with two on bases scoring him
self and the two. The people Of I'M
bier gave praise to the Cubs as the
best boys they ever saw
Kendrick has registered kick in
their local sheet alleging that the cubs
will have to defeat them before they
can claim the championship. This is
all poppycock, and considering that
Kendrick is heavier and older team
is most uncalled for. They have not
met Imbler because Imbler refused to
play team that was not in their
class. Kendrick had players from 19
to "a years old. The Cubs have the
rightfully and Justly
won Enough said

Or 7. B. MCBRYDE GOES FOR.
CAMP PERRY MATCHES TO-DAY

DR.. T. B. McBryde leaves for Camp
Perry, Idaho, Tuesday where he will
represent Moscow in the National
Rifle shoot for the Moscow rifle club.
At recent matches here he made a
score of 302 out of a possible 313.
Glenn Goodwin was taken sick yes
terday and is unable to go. Moscow
is allowed two representatives in the
annual shoot. Potlatch may find a
man to substitute. Potlatch is al
Rupert l.
The matches of the National Rifle
association are for the first half of
September. The national matches are
held during the last half Of that
month. DR.. McBryde goes on a spec
ial car furnished for the Idaho team
by the Milwaukee Rifle club. The car
will be put on the Milwaukee's crack
train, the Columbian, and will be run
thru to the camp. A number of Mos
cows rifle men are making plans to
go to the matches next year. The ex-
penses are paid by the federal gov
ernment.
A detailed program of the matches
has been received by the secretary
and shows one OF the best shooting
shows ever held. About 100 matches
will be held. There will be service
pistol, shot gun, and revolver COM
petitions OF all kinds. The program
leaves nothing to be desired by the
gun men. The government has spar
ed neither money nor time in provid-
ing the most perfect rifles and am
munition for the rif1emen who attend
the matches this year.

ROTARY SLOGAN AS A
BOOST FOR LAUNDR|Es
C. B. GREEN OF MOSCOW WANTS
A SERVICE THAT ESTAB-
LISHES READY PATRONS.

Showing that ''he profits much who
serves BEST" that much is said today
about prices and price competition
among the laundries; that advence-
ment is only made by the laundrymen
when they take service as the ideal;
that service is appreciated and is
much better than cutting prices, and
that the motto of the Rotary
service is "he profits most who
serves best" C. B. Green, manager of
the Moscow laundry, gave a rousing
address, to the Oregon, Washington,
and British Columbia Laundrymen's
association at Spokane, Saturday
Mr.. Green pointed to the Rotary
emblem on the convention hall IN
making his comment on the slogan,
and said he thought that the slogan
was good advice to the delegates. The
man in business who wants to ad-
vance should try to put out a better
laundry than the other fellow. He
advised the delegates to try it for the
coming year. The model laundry is
the one that will win out, he said in
conclusion. Thee slogan was held up
as an efficient slogan for the state
laundrymen.
Another feature of the convention
was the address made by ]. N. Bow.
man of Seattle, assistant vocational
officer for Washington, Oregon, and
Idaho. He pleaded in an able man
ner for the disabled service men Of
the late war and urged that laundry
men give men who had made a sacri-
vice for their country work in the
laundry trade, and that they train
men for their work.
H. H. Fitzpatrick of Chicago called
attention to the National Laundry
mems association, and outlined the
school which taught the practical
work Of the trade. This was educa-r
-ional work in model laundry.
The executive sessions included a
system OF formulating relative prices.
Mr.. Green came home with valuable
Information on the problems attend
int on laundry work.
