COTTON T0. .bE INTRODUCED IN ID GERMANY
Arizona Man To Show Mills of Fatherland The Wonderful Long Staple Cotton Grown In This Valley

Fabric manufacturers of Germany are to be made acquainted with the remarkable qualities of Pima cotton.
 Samples of Arizona long staple cot ton will be taken to southern Ger many and introduced by William Paar of Prescott, who is now arrang- ing his business interests so that he can begin the trip overseas imme- diately.
 Although it is understood that Paar is not acting as official agent or rep resentative for any cotton growing or marketing organization in Arizona, he expects to obtain results in Ba- varia and other sections of southern Germany that will be greatly to the advantage of the Salt River valley.
 In preparing for his trip abroad Paar applied at the Arizona Pima quarters here for samples and was supplied with several sets of types especially adaptable for use in the mills of Germany.
 Officials of the Arizona Pima Cot ton Growers association have been aware for several months that Ger many Is seeking grade and type of cotton adaptable to spinning fine goods and faces. They have sent sample sets to various mills in Ger many with a view to acquainting them with the grade ofscotton pro- duced in the Salt River valley. Because of conditions in Europe. no active effort to make actual sales over there have been made by local cotton marketers- However. samples and literature bearing on long staple cotton produced in the Salt River valley have been sent to many of the big mills of Europe. so that when they are in a position to make pur- chases of practical size. they will be familiar with Arizona's product In commenting upon the trip which Paar is preparing to make, the Pres colt Courier says:
 "William Paar, manager of the Head Hotel company. is in Prescott today arranging the business affairs of the company. which include the Head hotel, several pieces of busi- ness property in this city and a ranch near Kirkland, before leaving for a | trip abroad.
 "Paar, 1t is understood. is making
 a trip to Germany in the interests oi
 the cotton growers of the Salt Rivei valley, expecting to sell the cottor | produced in the valley during tho | coming year to German buyers Samples of the various lengths o ! the long staple grown in the valle,
 are being taken abroad by Paar. wh'
 seems confident of the results of hil | trip"

DIR. f. w. WHITE TELLS OF
WORK AMONG EX-SERVICE MEN

Dr. e. W. White, who was in Mos
COW for some time, in charge of the
vocational training students at the
university, but who for the past three
or four months has been working
with a cleanup squad in southern
Idaho, has been spending the past
three days with his family at this
place and will leave tonight for Sc
attic, for conference, after which he
will resume his work in south Idaho.
DR.. White has been working from
PocatelIo south and states that there
will be at least $500 men in Idaho,
south of Salmon river who will have
claims against the government. He
also said that he had encountered so
cases of tuberculosis among men
whom he had examined in the state,
the diease having stealthily gained a
hold on it's victim and in some cases
having reached point where heroic
measures will be necessary to check
it,
DR.. White is delighted with Moscow
and with the University of Idaho, and
during his travels over the southern
part OF the state has been telling the
parents and the young people of what
the state really has in the way of an
institution of higher learning, and i'm
pressing upon them the desirabifity
Of completing their education in their

|UNIONTOWN BOOSTERS
DECIDE ROAD ROUTE

At meeting of the Uniontown
Commercial club recently it was de-
cided regarding the general direction
and route of the proposed road from
Uniontown to the Washington-Idah
state line to tap the proposed Idaho
road from Moscow.
After considerable discussion 1t
was finally decided to ask the Whit
man county commissioners to build
Donahue road from Uniontown in q
north and easterly direction to tap
the Idaho road south of the Ander-
son ranch or the Thorn creek road,
which, when that portion of the road
is surfaced, will give them an outlet
to the north.
The residents Of Uniontown are
determined to have the road and are
prepared to push it with all their
might, but there are those who think
the Thorn creek route would be the
better and that when it comes to the
commissioners making decision
that that route will be selected as 1t
will be practically water grade and
about a mile shorter.-Genesee News.

MOVABLE SCHOOLS
TO Go OVER STATE
CIVIC CLUBS OFFER SUPPORT TO
PLAN FOR AGRICULTURAL
CHAUTAUQUAS.

Movable schools for Idaho farm
ers."
A erogram of movable schools, the
Farmers chautauqua,' was given
complete sanction by the conference
! of University of Idaho extension field
specialists and faculty members of the
college of agriculture al their four
day conference in Moscow. The pro-
gram will be instituted as soon as
definite, plans can be perfected. The
central object of the movable school
plan is to keep agricultural men in
formed on latest methods.
According to tentative plans out
lined at the conference, two extension
division specialists will at once visit
the various counties of the state that.
have made requests for such schools.
1t is estimated that all schedules can
be made and speakers secured so that
the schools may open Immediately
after the state seed show.
Chambers of Commerce, Rotary and
Kiwanis clubs and other civic organ
izations have already offered their
support Interest throughout the
state is said to be strongly in favor of
the movable ScnooI plan.
Requests from the various COM
munities have indicated that they de-
sire as speakers on their programs
not only agricultural experts from the
university college of agriculture and
others doing experimental and exten-
sion work but also promeinent bus1-
ness men, bankers, railroad agricul-
tural experts and state officials.
11o
ence and members of the University
of Idaho faculty are highly optimistic
over the possibilities promised in the
proposition.
''That the agricultural extension
work promoted by the University of
Idaho is more genuinely respected
throughout the state than ever before
and has a leading part to play In
bringing Idaho agriculture to stable
and profitable basis was the con-
viction expressed by President A. Fl.
Upham of the University of Idaho af-
ter the adjournment of the confer-
ence.
"Plans have been matured at this
said President Upham,
to make our extension service more
effective in its distribution over the
state. and these plans will be set in
operation at once. What is even more
to the public just now is
hat these plans involve no additional
outlay of public funds With series
Of strong movable schools or insti-
utes set in motion early in January,
with q system of district leaders in
home demonstration and club work to
over wider areas and operate in con-
junction with county agents and with
which guarantee closer
and technical coop
ration all along the line, the univer-
,ity extension service has taken in
is bolt and is ready for action.
"We are in position to know that
he farmers and business men in the
-arious counties are uniformly un-
Wiling to give up agricultural exten-
ion work, however much they insist
m economizing in other directions.
Almost as many counties will line up
or the work this next year as at any
revious time, while district workers
n home economics and with boys
nd girls clubs will carry their acti-
tiles into counties hardly touched,
4 the past, by these interests
eve shall endeavor to meet all de-
hands unon us to the utmost extent
f our abilities"

PIONEER RECALLS
old TIMES HERE
FOR THE SOTH TIME HE PAYS
SUBSCRIPTION TO THE
STAR-MIRROR

For the eightieth time since he
came to Moscow, the Rev. Daniel
Gamble dropped into the Star-Mirror
office today and paid his subscrip-
ton. For the past 40 years, ever
since the paper was satrted, he has
made it steadfast policy to come to
the office the latter part Of June and
the latter part of December to pay
for his paper for the coming half
year.
He was one of the men who helped
start the Star Mirror, it was the
Moscow Mirror in those days, being
the third man to sign his name to a
list pledging paid subscriptions if the
paper was started. Dad Or. H) Bar
tons name headed the list and John
l.. Naylor was second
The Rev. Mr.. Gamble was the
prime mover in the organization of
the Presbyterian church, AZ years ago
and has been one of it's most sincere
and devoted members ever since.
When he came to this section, Mos
COW was merely a name-a name ap-
piled to lane running between AS
bury Lieuallens oat field west of
here and John RusselPs flax field on
the east. The lane is now Moscow's
Main street. At what is now the
intersection Of Main and Third
streets, there were a few buildings
huddled together-just a mud hole, he
calls it. Main street was also the
old survey, the dividing line between
farms adjoining each other along
this line.
The first store in Moscow, as he
recalls it, was the one started by
former governor w. J. Mcconnell and
a man by the name of Mcclure.
Since coming to Moscow he has
seen Moscow grow from crossroads
stopping place to a fair sized western
city; buildings go up, Judge Forney
and others of this section get the
at Moscow and see that
it survived, therailroad winds its way
% Moscow and runs stage coaches and
the pony express out of business, |
come in in prairie schoon-
ers, locate on the dry hills and become
wheat farmers, and many
other changes that people of later
lines take as matter of course and I
;hink nothing of.

DR. GRITMAN LOSES CASE
ON SUPREME COURT APPEAL

Boise, Ida.-The Judgment by which
W. ]. and Mary M. Cochran, OF Mos
COW, were awarded $4,000 damages
for the failure of a surgeon to re
move gauze sponge after an oper-
alton for appendicitis, was affirmed
tonight by the supreme court of this
state, in an opinion written by JUS
tice Lee and concurred in by his as
sOciates
Charles L. Gritn1an, the defendant
surgeon, appealed from the Judgment
OF the district court, on the grounds
that expert testimony on which the
verdict was based was contrary to
positive scientific knowledge, and
should not have been given to the
Jury. The supreme court holds that
the evidence justifies the findings and
there is no reversible error

MILL CAR NEAR EAST
RELIEF WHEAT HERE

J. D. Davis, chairman of the Near
East Relief committee for Latah
county, is in receipt of instructions
from Spokane headquarters to have
the wheat donated in this county,
amounting to approximately 500
sacks, milled at this point. Arrange
ments have been made with the Mark
P. Miller Milling company to do the
milling and the flour, together with
the beans contributed in the southern
part of the county, will be shipped
direct from here to New Orleans,
where it will be loaded on a boat for
shipment to it's destination. Latah
county's contribution will make a
large car of flour.
1t was found by the Spokane COM
mittee that the milling could be done
cheaper in the Inland Empire than
elsewhere and the feed and the money
paid for having the wheat made into
flour, would thus be kept in the dis
trict where the wheat was cOntribu-
ted.
There has been some delay in get
ting the car here from down the line,
but it is expected that it will be at
Troy today and reach Moscow to-
morrow.
Chairman Davis states that there
are still some small contributions
coming in at this place and that Mos
COW and Latah county have already
exceeded their quota

TAXES TAKE DROP
PARTLY DUE TO CHANGE IN BANK
VALUATION UNDER
GROUND RESERVATION.

The assessed valuation of persona
property in Latah county for 1921 is
$662,869 This is a drop of over $780,
900. Last year it was $777 $50. The
figures are taken from totals pre-
pared by Homer Estes, county audit
or.
About one fourth of the shrinkage
is due to the new basis of valuation
on bank stock. In. previous years it
was assessed at it's full value but now
at two-thirds, the same as other prop
erty. Last year the bank stock as
sessment totaled $22S,O00. This year
it is $186,238.
One curious item appears on the
tax roll. The Potlatch Lumber com
pany, in selling logged off land to
farmers, holds the reservation OF
mineral rights, the right to work UNI.
der ground at any time, etc. The
commissioners held that the desire to
hold these rights showed an apparent
value and that the reservations were
taxable. The valuation of these
rights was placed at $11,54O. The
reason for the lumber company do
ing this is that years ago during op-
erations in Michigan, great copper
deposits were found on land that had
been owned by the Weyerhaeuser in
terests and was sold after the timber
was taken off.
The complete valuation of personal.
property divided into convenient sub
divisions, is as follows:
Horses and Mules, $13O745; cattle,
b34,485; sheep, $4,725; hogs, $3,516;
equities in state lands, $15,959; i'm
on lands, $21,959; lum-
Der, logs, ETC., $16,480; merchandise,
b104,845; machinery, ETC., $4,000;
furniture and fixtures, $17,422; bank
stock, $186,238; farm machinery and
35,310; household goods,
;27,575; vehicles, harness, ETC., $15,-
'45; logging outfits, s50O1 brick
plants, $11 500; reservation in lands,
etc., $11 $40; unclassified,
i ,O68.
Total taxes extended on this valu-
4tion, $23 ,6319

For long time rumors have float
ed about that the Day family will sell
all these interests to the American
Smelling & Refining company, con
trolled by the Guggenheims, as soon
as the excess profits tax is repealed
by the government. Speculation on
the price to be paid runs from
$l5,00O,O00 to $50,000,000.
Jerome J. Day, living at Wallace

active in the management of the Day
