COURT UPHOLDS THE
LATAH COUNTY JUDGE
DEFENSE is ENJOINED- FROM
HIS WORK ON LAST CHANCE A
VICTORY FOR LATAH.

A decision of considerable impor-
ance to mining men and operators
unfolding the finding by Judge Edgar
Steele of the Latah county district
court, was rendered by the Supreme
bench, Saturday, when c. w. Meal
lister was enjoined from working the
Last Chance mica lode in this county.
The state in 106 contracted to sell
to Alexander Monroe this claim. He
ASSIGNED his contract to McAllister in
1917. The latter had started opera
tions on the property when suit to
quiet title was brought.
The plaintiffs, Mary A. Jorgenson
and the Spokane and Eastern Trust
company, trustee for theheirs and as
signs of George Lauman, heirs and
assigns of the original locators and
who filed on the land in 1883 and
paid for it in 1890, were represented
by Judge Forney of this city. The
plaintiffs claim was based on prior
patent. Suppiger and Ogden of
Moscow, and Judge Wheeler of Sc
attic appeared for the defense. The
suit was hotly contested on both
sides, pending four years.
No more interesting case involving
a valuable mica mine was ever tried
in the lower and higher courts. Years
ago a large amount of the valuable
metal was taken from the mine and
sold at handsome profit The mine
was claimed to be the finest, also from
a metallurgist's standpoint, as the
finest in the United States. The ad-

used for axle grease and for the
avoidance of friction on auto tires.
The industry has been given con-
siderable attention by the School of
Mines of the University of Idaho of
which Dean Thomson is the head.
The decision is one of moment for
Judge Steele and the attorney for the
plaintiffs.

hazardous journey across the plains.
The large settlement was destined to
be builders of this now prosperous
country. Over plains and mountains
the oxen train wound its way, bat
Ting with the primitive mode of
travel and the Indians. Such men
could not be conquered, not in spirit.
The colony settled in Clay county,

REFERENCE VOLUME
STILL HOLDS FIELD
HIGH SCHOOL AND GRADES ARE
ALIVE TO VALUE OF BOOKS
FOR STUDY.

Mrs. DIR. Mcbride, librarian, and
her assistant, Miss G. Supplger,
showed a Star Mirror man Monday
how the high school students and the
grades appreciated the reference IL
brary, valuable adjunct to the work
of the grade pupil and the high school
student The Encyclopaedia Brit
tanica occupies a prime place IN the
catalogue. The International en-
cyclopaedia, History of English liter
ature, Appleton's American history,
Young Folks encyclopaedia and run
of trains of though in the art and
sciences, the brain crops of applied
education, mark the status of this ref
erence book department.
While these vacation times there
has not been the usual calls on this
department the histories and stories
of all countries still hold at the old
stand. The stories of the world war.
vivid and interesting, with their
wealth of detail, showing the part
the Yankee doughboy played in the
fight to win democracy against
autocracy, are eagerly snapped up as
absorbing features of the library Of
we'll placed reference books. There
are tales of the modern sea dogs that
give an illustration into the methods
pursued by the undersea boats and
their opponents and their destroyers
and the airplanes There are western
tales and pioneer adventure books,
the histories of the western states that
appeal to the boys and girls of the
high school and the grades.
Turning to the department for the
younger boys and girls the Moscow
tads and tots appear to love Gene
Field, Gelett Burgess, the wonder
worker Stevensons garden, Barrie's
Peter Pan, and Foulaire's fables.
Robinson Crusoe by Defoe is still in
big demand. Kingsley and Dickens
hold the minds of the young at the
public library. And when these two
valuable departments of the library
are conned and understood and
studied, the hats of the elder citizens
will be DOTTED to Mrs. Mcbride and
her assistant.

finished up within ten days. This
compendium of educational refer
ences and knowledge of a higher in

at 1928, 900. Maintenance and equip
ment is placed at $350,O0O. The agri-
cultural extension department most

BARBER OF TEK0A
VICTIM OF RUNNING
CAR SKIDS AT TOP OF LEWIS
TON HILL WHEN OCCUPANTS
ARE CAUGHT UNDER CAR.

Mayor Melgard, who was out at the
top of the Lewiston hill highway
Sunday, said Monday morning, that
W. B. Kiser, Tekoa barber, with
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Wood Of Tekoa,
met with fatal accident in an un-
toward auto accident at that place the
injuries causing death, and that his
companions were injured. Wood had
minor injuries but his wife had her
left collar bone broken.
The survivors, according to mayor
and other Moscow people who were at
the scene Of the accident, could not
tell how the event was caused. 1t
it alleged however that the deceased
was driving at the rate of 80 to 35
miles per hour and it is thought the
speed on the stretch of the road two
miles north of the hill section caused
a skidding, the car turned over and
the occupants were pinioned beneath
it.
A shallow culvert hole may have
caused the overturn. Kiser when
found by auto parties was pinned to
the ground. His body was over Mrs.
Woods and Wood was also under the
car Mayor Melgard said the car was
badly smashed up. The windshield
and the top were wrecks and the
steering gear torn out The three
were taken to a Lewiston hospital
where Kiser died. 1t was also learn
ed that when the accident occurred
the three occupied the same seat.
Kiser is said to be a native Of
Charlotte, N. c., and had only been
in the barber business at Tekoa
short time. His relatives have been
notified.

Everyone living adjacent to Moscow
should do the same. You can't lose.
You'll pay the student only what he

HIGHWAY ENGINEERS
CONSULTING IN MOSCOW

R. E. Ewing, district engineer, with
headquarters a Lewiston, was in Mos
COW Wednesday, comforting with
Robert F. Foster, resident engineer
of project No. 18, of Genesee, and
D. M. Faires, state road engineer, of
Boise, on road matters of this vicin-
ity. Mr.. Ewing was just returning
from a trip to Boise via New
Meadows and the Salmon river can
yon where he inspected the work now
going on under contract to Grant
Smith & Co., on the north and south
highway. He reports that satisfac-
tory progress is being made. There
are ITS men employed between New
Meadows and Whitebird at the pres
ent time according to Mr. Ewing.
0. J. Arnberg of Spokane, super
intendent of construction for the
Standard Asphalt Paving company,
now working on project No. 18,
chanced to be in Moscow and met
with these gentlemen to discuss road
matters pertaining to this road dis
trict. The meeting Of the four gentle
men was rather a coincidence, Messrs
Faires and Arnberg happening to be
in this vicinity and hearing of it, Mr..
Ewing telephoned to Mr.. Foster to-
meet them here.
They left in the afternoon for
Genesee to continue their inspection
Of the highway work now in progress
in that vicinity.

DEEP INTEREST SHOWN
IN CHRISTIAN REVIVAL

Another full house last night at the
revival and the music was above the
average Mrs. H. D. Martin, local
talent sang a beautiful solo, and Prof.
Gates was at his best. The chorus
is learning some new chorus numbers
and all told the music is worth hear
ing. Evangelist White took for
subject. 'The Inspiration of The
Bible" 1t was certainly great de-
fense of the book Mr.. Wilhite show
ed clearly the positive inspiration,
and that the book could not have
from a human source.
That God used human instruments in
delivering his will to man, and that
the silken cord of divinity is found on
every page. One illustration among
the many was that we have to go
back to God for every perfect direc-
tion, time, and instruction. The sun
has not changed one thousand part
Of second in six thousand years.
The compass points to the polar star
and never varies, in authority Gods
law has not been successfully con-
tested by any people of any age.
At the close of this sermon one
more came forward to confess faith
in Christ as a personal Savior. Many
more are just ready to obey their
Lord The public is more than well
come to all these great services.
