TO BE REMODELED
UNIVERSITY GETTING READY FOR
LARGER ENROLMENT THAN
ANTICIPATED

The contract has been let by the
University of Idaho for the remodel
ing of the dining room and kitchen at
Ridenbaugh hall, women's dormitory,
to allow for the increased demands
that will be made on the school for
housing and lodging this fall.
The changes at the dormitory will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000 and
will make it possible to feed approx
imately two hundred young women
at the hall. The kitchen will be re-
modelled throughout and be made
thoroughly modern and convenient.
Speaking of the changes being made
at Ridenbaugh hall, l.. F. Parsons, ex-
ecutive secretary of the university.
stated Saturday that cover one fuDd-
red applications for reservations for
lodging at the hall have been receiv-
ed up to date.
''This is greatly in excess of ap-
plications made by the middle of
August in years heretofore. Prac-
tically the same number of reserva-
tions have been made at I.indley hall
by men students.
''In the event that the railway
strikes do not precent the market
ing of good crops of the southern part
of the state, the enrolment at the
university this winter will be much
larger than has been anticipated by
figures heretofore complied.
alumni and students all over the
state have been active during the
present vacation period and have in
terested a large number in attending
Idaho"
The increased enrolment this fall
is this early having its effect, ac-
cording to Mr.. Parsons, who spoke Of
the needs for more accommodations in
houses and apartments and of the
inquiries being made for work by
students. He said:
Already four calls have been re-
ceived for houses or apartments by
persons who wish to enter the uni
versity this fall; more are coming
in daily and the number of ap-
plications are expected to increase as
the fall term approaches.
Administration officials at the
university will consider it a great
favor if any persons having houses
or apartments to rent will list them
with the bursar's office where stud
ents wishing quarters can get access
to available accommodations.
''There are also a large number of
inquiries coming in for positions for
oCudcntO uuI tuS WluLSI anu SplluS
terms. Several women students desire
to work for room and board while
attending school.
'Those townspeople who have op-
enings for such students will confer
a great favor on the university by
notifying the bursar's office or Mr..
Mason, at the publicity department,
who is chairman of the committee on
employment

MOSCOW COAL PRICES
HAVE REMAINED STEADY

Despite the shortage of coal over
the United States as result of the
strikes on the railroads and in the
mines the local price of coal has suf-
fered no serious advance, according to
information CLEANED from city dealers
Saturday.
Except for slight advance of fifty
sents on the ton the first of August,
the price has remained constant in
spite of the tieups and strikes. Coal
is quoted on local markets at $1,000
to $3.50 a ton, stove and lump, de-
livered. A year ago the same coal
was selling at dollar higher a ton,
or $14.00 to $500.
Local dealers all felt confident,
when interviewed, that though coal
is scarce as compared with some 9th
er years there has been no pinch any
where as yet. They say that coal is
moving just about the rate at which
it is being received.
The striking miners in Washington,
Montana and Wyoming and other
states have turned the available coal
supply to the mines in Utah which are
many Of them operated under non
union conditions. The result is that
ued operation have been forced to
carry the burden. of supplying most
of the coal in the northwest.
One coal firm reported that a GER
tain Minneapolis firm had guaran-
teed the shipment of some 100000
tons of coal into the northwest week
ly which will probably better the sit
uation which has not in any way as
sumed an alarming state.
None of the dealers seemed to think
that the rail strike had affected trans
portation in the Moscow territory re-
gardless of the curtailments that have
been made in transportation service
over the outside country.
With coal lowering around thirteen
dollars a ton and with apparently
enough arriving to supply the demand
there is, according to tho dealers,
no occasion for alarm over the sup
ply in the local market.
All seem confident that the strike
will soon be settled and that the ma
tion's fuel supply will shortly return
to normal despite the time that, has
elapsed in many mines since the strike
was declared.

MILITARY HERO
BECOMES TRAMP
MISFORTUNE DROPS HIM FROM
RICHES TO POVERTY
FORTUNE IN HORSE RACE

From military honors and riches to
poverty and park bench for a bed
Is the strange transition in the for
tunes of Captain Henry Donald Penn
of London.
Ordinarily Penn would have been
accounted among this worlds lucky
ones. From a buck private in the
army he rose to the rank of captain,
and in addition to that won even a
greater distinctiOn-that of drawing
the winning horse in the Calcutta
sweepstakes. That brought him a
fortune of $15O,OOO But today Penn
sleeps on a hard, uncharitable park
bench on Thames embankment, down
and out. He is penniless and conse-
quently is friendless.
PENIS story is sad one. Perhaps
his unluckiest moment was when he
won the Calcutta sweepstakes. But
for that he might now be a well-pen-
stoned old soldier having a position
of trust with some big firm and living,

follows:
19O8-Private in the British army.
10O9-Won $150,OOO in the Calcutta
sweepstakes.
191O-Living the life of country
squire in Surrey.
1914-Rejoined the army and was
promoted to a captaincy.
1QOO-C1ooDino ropp{Jocc opd friond-

Penn's career in the army was dis
Hnguished. AS trooper in the
Twenty-frst lancers he rode in the
famous charge against the Arabs at
Omdurman and was awarded the
medal of the Distinguished Service
order for bravery in the face of the
enemy fire.
In 1909 he bought ticket from
barrack-room comrade for the Cal
,cutta sweepstakes He drew King
Edwards horse Minoru, and Penn
won the $15O,00O prize. He quickly
purchased his discharge from the army
and bought a magnificent country es-
tate in Surrey near the ancient town
OF Dorkfng, in one Of the most pictur-
-esque bits Of old England. There he
lived the typical life Of an English
country gentleman. He went to church
on Sunday and sat in the family pew.
On weekdays, like Horrocks Of old,
he rode to the hounds and looked
after the tilling of his fields. The
best people of the countryside Joined
him in the chase. His money was
ample for time, but eventually some
of his speculations went bad and he
had to give up his country place and
come to London. Here he purchased
q tobacco shop and settled down to
the life of a small tradesman.
Poor Man Again.
Penn tried to recoup but his f1nan-
.cial manipulations went from bad to
worse. At the beginning of 1914 he
found himself poor man once again.
The war broke out and Penn rejOined
his old regiment as a sergeant. His
previous military training enabled him
to get commission and he rose rap
idly to the rank OF captain.
The war ended and Penn was de- |
mobilized. Soon his soldiers bonus
