MOSCOW LOOKS GOOD
TO NEBRASKA MAN
Il. A. GEHRkE VISITS BROTHER
ON MOSCOW FARM-TOURING
THE WEST.

! e. A. Gehrke, real estate man
of Lincoln, Nebraska, and Mrs. Geh-
rke, accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs.
j. A. Stewart of Sokane, are guests
at the home of Mr.. Gehrke's brother,
S. w. Gehrke, one mile south of town
and were in Moscow this morning,
looking over the citys up-to-date
stores and also taking glimpse OF
the university and it's equipment.
&. A. Gehrke is known as 'the bum
galow man" in the home city of Will
liam Jennings Bryan. This title has
been given him because of the fact
that for several years past he has
been building bungalows as fast ~
workmen could put them together, in
order to fill the demand for houses.
AS soon as house was completed he
would sell it. In this manner he did
considerable for his city and made a
fortune for himself, He and Mrs.
Gehrke have been spending the sum-
mer touring the southwestern and
western states, and after a short visit
here will start on the return trip to
Lincoln. S. w. Gehrke came to Mos
COW year ago and bought land and
his brother now confirms his good
judgment. He and Mrs Gehrke are de-
lighted with the rolling hills of the
Palouse and with the evidences of
productiveneSs and consequent pros
perity and were it not for their well
established and profitable business in
Lincoln, they too would cast their
lot in Latah county.
Mr.. Stewart, who is an old-time
friend of the Gehrke family, is coun-
ty auditor of Spokane county and has
been resident of that city for the
past 20 years. He too, although
more familiar with conditions in the
Palouse country, expressed himself as
pleased with the clean and prosper
our appearance of Moscow, where the
people travel in personally owned
depending neither upon
street car companies, with errattc
habits of tearing up their tracks, nor
upon the jitney with it's uncertainty
and its discomforts. Mr.. Stewart
stated that the controversy in SpO-
Kane between the street railway COM
Danies and the city is really a serious
natter, especially for the people on
he outskirts of the city, who will be
to get to their work, or
heir places of business as best they
,an during the winter months. He
lid not attempt to place the blame,
,ther than to say that if the Wash
ngton state public service commits
zion had fixed the street car fare at
seven cents, instead of eight, he be-
ieved the trouble would not have
developed The previous rate was six
ents and the public was not particu-
arly averse to a seven-cent fare. AS
t is, the matter is entirely up in the
ir, and the people are the sufferers.
)ne of the strong factors in cutting
own the revenue of the street car
and forcing higher fares,
e states is the individually owned
utomobile which furnishes it's own
+ and his family their own means
transportation.

DIVIDE ON PARTY LINES
IN FORD-NEWBERRY CASE

Washington-(By A. P)-Conflict-
ing opinions along party lines were
present today by the majority and
minority members of the senate privi-
leges and elections committee i'll the
Ford-Newberry 1918 sensational cleo
tion contest from Michigan. The ma
jority report cleared Senator Truman
H. Newberry, republican candidate,
of corruption and all other charges
and recommended that he be legally
seated. The democratic members as
serted that Newberry was elected by
corrupt and Illegal methods and
practices, and recommended that his
seat be declared vacant The case
now goes to the senate for final de-
cision, which probably will not be
made for several weeks.

JUDGE NELSON SETTLES
UNUSUAL PROBATE CASE

After seven years absence Nils
Tideman was declared legally dead,
according to statute, and John Mis-
bet, prosecuting attorney of Latah
county, was appointed administrator
OF his estate by Judge Adrian Nelson
in the probate court Thursday. The
estate is valued at $500 and consists
of house and lot in Moscow.
The order appointing the adminis-
traitor is rather rare in the history of
Latah county probate business.
AS shown by the order Nils Tide
man disappeared from Moscow Janu-
uary IA, 1913, and no word from him
ha sheen received by his friends or
relatives since that time. The court
found from the evidence the legal
presumption that the "said Nils Tide
man is dead and that he came to his
death on or about the first day of
March, 1872

DANGER FROM FIRE

Washington-(By A. P.)-State
governors were requested by Presi-
dent Harding in a proclamation to-
day to designate October 10 anniver-
] sary of the Chicago fire as fire pre-
vention day.
The proclamation follows:
Whereas the United States suffers
through destruction of fire an annual
loss of life estimated at $4,000 human
beings, most of them women and chill

Whereas in the face of the worlds
dire need for American products our
fire losses increased during 1920 to
over $500000,000 and during the pre-
viN's year period totalled $1,916,-
$4,000, and
Whereas in addition forest fires
during the five years ended with 1920
further reduced by over $S5,000,000,
also threatening with aridity over 50,-
100000 acres of heretofore productive
woodland, and
Whereas most of our fire losses
are due to carelessness and ignor-
ance and may be easily prevented by
increased care and education on the
part of the citizen;
Therefore, l, Warren G. Harding,
president of the United States, do
urge the governors to designate and
set apart October 10, anniversary of
the Chicago fire, as fire prevention
day with these principal objects in
view, to-wit:
"To request citizens of their states
to plan for that day. and through pull
pit, through forum and through the
schools. such instructive and educa-
tional exercises as shall impress the
pun}in Z ii.G .S,l she caiamitoas ef-
fects and threatened economic dis
aster of such unnecessary fire waste;
ITO urge as an every day duty Of
citizenship individual and collective
efforts in conserving our country's
natural and created resources, and
ITO promote systematic instruction
in fire prevention in our schools, con-
stant observance of the ordinary pre-
cautions that safeguard us from fires
and an orderliness in home and COM
munity that we may overcome this
lurking peril.
Fire is a danger that never sleeps"

While America is not a member OF
the league, nevertheless all the
other powers are bound by the
covenant not to make any treaty in
consistent with that document and
that making of a regional under
standing is wholly in line with tho
principles OF the covenant. The
object OF the regional understand
ing will be not to protect special
interests but to promote the gen.

to the principles enunciated at the
Washington conference They will
not eventually be admitted to the
councils of the powers until they
recognize and agree to such pr1n-
ciples. Thus the smaller group OF
powers meeting in Washington will
not be handicapped as was the Yer
sai,les conference by the large num-
Der of delegates, which means end
less discussion, but will draw up
agreements which, while in the
make, will be shown to all nations
that may be interested and thus in
effect offer a program of peace TO

/ simply naval disarmament but the
abolition of poisonous gases and
the Limitation of air as well as land

MODERN RIP VAN WINKLE. WHO
HAS AWAKENED FROM 3-YEARS'
SLEEP, SUFFERS NOW OF INSOMNIA

Fort Smith. Ark.-specialists
who have been trying for more
than three years TO wake up Jim
Eshlinger, the modern Rip Van
Wrinkle. now are wondering how TO
make him sleep
Eshlinger, a victim OF pellegra,
awoke more than a week ago in a
hospital here after a nap" lasting
for three years and one month
Since that time he has not slept,
and doctors say he seemingly
doesn't even become tired
Three years ago Eshinger was
being wheeled about in an invalid
chair when a flock OF chickens
frightened him and he went into
coma
During all his sleep the only in
dication OF consciousness was four
months ago when he suddenly
opened his eyes, gazed about the
room for a few seconds, gave
long sigh and went back to sleep
The first request Eshlinger made
after awakening was for a chew OF
his favorite twist.
This modern Rip has slept
through the anguish Of a World
war, has missed the high cost OF
living. and has escaped the melan-
choly news OF a world out Of Joint.
