NATIONS FORESTS
BEN E. BUSH SAYS EASTERN
STATES ARE AMAZING TO THE
NECESSITY FOR ACTION

Ben E. Bush, assistant state land
commissioner has arrived at home
after three weeks trip to Washing
ton, D. c., where he attended nat
ional conference, called for the pur-
pose of bringing about cooperative
action on the part of the nation, the
state and the private timber owners,
in the protection of the timber re-
sources from fire. Every state was
represented and the meeting, Mr..
Bush states, was most satisfactory
ono.
The government and the eastern
states, Mr. Bush says, are just coming
to a realization of the fact that the
nations timber resources are being
cut faster than they are growing and
are beginning, to see the matter IN
really serious light. Maine and Penn
sylvania, both Of which were timber
states, are now importing lumber for
their own use and both are making
desperate effort to refOreSt. Penn
sylvania, with practically all her tim
Der gone, is spending $500,O00 annu-
ally for fire protection, largely to
protect what timber is left On par
TALLY denuded land, in order that
there may be timber at hand to sup
ply the states vast industries.
Eastern Conditions Good
Mr.. Bush says that conditions seem
to be good east of Chicago, Judging
from the amount of travel, the trains
being crowded and hotel rooms at
premium.
While in Washington Mr.. Bush saw
all the members of the Idaho dele
CATION and said that they were all
on the job. They are hoping that
congress will adjourn about August
1, in order that. they may be able to
enjoy a vacation in their home state,
and so that those who are candidates
to succeed themselves, may look af-
ter their political fences. A pleasant
visit was enjoyed with Congressman
Burton L. French, of shis city. Mr..
French is in good health and he and
Mrs French hope to spend some time.

RECOVERY MOST
RAPID IN EAST
HOMER DAVID SEES EARLY I'M
PROVEMENT OF CONDITIONS In
WEST-VISITS LARGE CITIES

Returning prosperity is reflected
more in the east than in the west,
just now, according to Homer David,
who has arrived at home after having
spent some time in the larger cities
of the east and middle west. Mills
manufacturing staple articles are
running at full capacity now, for the
first time in several years and mer-
chandise is being produced at cost
more nearly on the level with that
of 1914 than at any time since the
prices were forced up by the war
conditions. Prosperity will be more
in evidence in the west, Mr.. David be-
lieves, in two or three months from
now.
Mr.. David went east to attend the
grand encampment of the Knights
Templar, at New Orleans, as grand
commander of the organization in Ida
no, and states that really wonder
knights Templar in attendance The
trip was made in the Seattle train of
ten coaches, one of the finest trains
ever made up in the coast city, with
special crew of Knights Templar
and band. The northwest states
went to encampment to secure the
next triennial encampment for Seat
tie, in 1925, and succeeded. Seattle
took a car load of winesap apples and
a half carload of shingle fans along
for advertising purposes. Indian
apolis made strong fight for the en-
campment, but Seattle won out large
1y because the people are eager to
make q. trip west, many having never
had an opportunity to visit the north
west.
New Orleans, Mr.. David states, is
a quaint and most interesting city.
While the encampment was in session
the Mississippi river was overflowing
it's banks, and short distance below
the city a body of 100000 acres was
under water. The city was threat
ened for time, but the breaking of
levees below relieved the situation.
While in the eastern cities Mr..
David did considerable purchasing for
the Davids store, especially for the
basement store, which has just been
opened and which promises to be an
feature of the institution.

CITY TRUCKS ARE HAULING
DEBRIS TO DUMP GROUND

Trucks and wagons are now busy,
under the direction of the city offic-
ials, and at the expense of the city,
hauling the accumulated debris of the
past winter to the dump grounds.
While in most cases the tin cans and
other articles which cannot be burn
ed, are in sacks and other containers,
at the side of the streets, there are
some persons who have piled them
out loose, and others who are leav-
ing them in boxes fastened to out
buildings, thinking that the citys
men will pick them up. The Star
Mirror is asked by Chief of Police
Robbins, to state that the cans, ETC.,
must be in containers which can be
loaded on the wagons. Otherwise the
property owner will be compelled to
remove them at his own expense.

NOTED OPERATOR
At Mines SCHOOL
j. L. BRUCE, MONTANA MINE MAN
AGER, SPEAKS TO ASSOCIATED
MINERS AT UNIVERSITY

J. l.. Bruce, one of the most prOml-
nent mine managers in the west, stop
ped in Moscow Wednesday and visited
the Idaho school of mines while on
his way to the coast
Mr.. Bruce, formerly the manager of
the Butte and Superior mine at
Butte, Mont, is now the manager of
the Davis-Daly mines at that place.
He is a brother of S. S. Bruce, pro-
fessor of metallurgy at the school of
mines. His long experience as an
executive in the mining industry has
brought him to the front as one of
the authorities in that field.
Speaks to Students
Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Bruce ad-
dressed the Associated Miners Of the
University of Idaho. His detailed
discussion of the geological and min
ing problems of the Butte mining
district was one Of great interest and
educative value to the mining stud
ents.
Some of the geologic problems dis
cussed were: the sequence OF the dl-
astrophism occurring IN the Butte
district; the naturalization OF the
faults, fissure, and shear zones' the
replacement Of minerals in Chis dis
trict and the continuity of ore bodies
in the various mines in that area.
The mining problems discussed were
ventilation, hoisting, drainage, r.eth-
ods of timbering, mining methods,
and the safety devices employed to
warn the miners of mine fires. Mr..
Bruce himself has developed NUM-
Der of improvements in mining meth
DDS which have been generally adopt
ed in Butte.
Faculty-Senior Dinner
In the evening Mr.. Bruce attended
a dinner given by the school of mines
faculty and seniors, after which he
gave talk on "The Present Situation
and Future of the Metal Market" and
"The Uses of Copper in the Various
His talk aroused great
and was enjoyed by all those
present.
Mr.. Bruce's visit with the associ-
ated miners and school Of mines fac
ulty is result of a general eriiey of
these bodies to induce more cor
dial relationship between embryonic
mining engineers and notable mine
operators.

FIRST NATIONAL

MOSCOW INSTITUTION is ONE OF
OLDEST IN INLAND EMPIRE
GREW WITH MOSCOW

| Thursday, May H. is the 10th ami
versary of the First National bank OF
( this city and perhaps few persons in
/ the community realize that the bank
| is one of the Oldest in the Inland EN-
| pire.. So far as is known the First
National at Lewiston is the only other
bank in the territory which has
weathered the storms of 40 years. The
MANAGEMENT of the institution is to
, be congratulated upon the success
with which the affairs of the bank
have been directed through the years
of prosperity and the years of adver-
sity which the Palouse country has
experienced in the past 40 years.
On May II, 1882 the bank was start
ed under the name of the Baker q
Clark bank. 1t was Moscow's first
bank and was opened in the A. A.
Lieuallen store room This building
was located about where the Fashion
Shop conducts its business at the
present time. A counter was placed
across the front of the room and
general banking and brokerage bus
mess was conducted. At that time
Moscow had a population Of between
$50 and 400 people
Tn 1884 the first brick building in
Moscow was erected by the bank for
it's home. This building stands at
the corner of First and Main streets
and is now occupied by the Exlde Bat
terry Station.
In 1885 the bank was natlonal1zed
and afterwards moved to it's present
location. at the corner of Third and
Main streets, in the substantial, up
to-date three story brick building it
now owns.
During the 40 years of it's existence
the bank has grown with the town and
has had it's part in the development
of the community to its present com
manding position among the cities OF
the Inland Empire The bank has ex-
perienced periods of prosperity and
has successfully passed through the
periods of adversity which the com
munity experienced. The First Ma
tional is now one of the strong banks
of the Inland Empire and has always
been able to take care of the legitl-
mate needs of it's customers. While it
has feeling of pride on its 40th
birthday. it does not overlook nor fail
to sincerely appreciate, the patron
age and loyalty of it's friends during
all these years.
The bank is now under active man.
