"A Good Town.

Moscow looks good to me-" re-
marked a university student, who has
travelled far and wide over the United
States, after making trip to one of
our neighboring cities. He had gone
on the last trip with the idea that he
did not care a great deal for his pre-
sent location but returned firmly con-
vinced that he had been mistaken
about it.
What does SUCH an endorsement
of this community really mean? 1t
was no passing whim of this man who
had spent many years visiting the
various parts of the United States
to say that Moscow looked good to
him. On the contrary his imagined
antagonism to the city would dispell
any such illusion. No, it was a sin
cere statement of the facts of the
situation. In comparison with other
places his experience had demonstrat-
ed to him that Moscow really had
some admirably qualities as a place
of residence.
I touched yesterday upon the favor
able impression that the traveller re-
ceived Of the city. Today q wish to
go a~step further and see why the
community 'slooks good. There are
reasons for all things and in as
signing reasons for this statement
and condition | am merely looking up
the selling points of the city; the ele-
ments of the western community that
make it pleasurable place in which
to live. 1t is however, too large a
theme to be handled in its entirely
at one time and l shall endeavor to
merely suggest few of the things
that aid in making this city "good
place to be in".
Summarizing briefly Moscow has
all the prerequisites essential to
healthy, thriving and beautiful in
land city.
With three railways entering the
city from different points on the
main line roads, and one through
road, the problem of transportation,
so vexing to many of the small cities
of this western country is cared for
in manner making for expediency,
convenience and the upbuilding of the
businesses of the city.
Located in one of the richest sec
tions of the Palouse wheat country
and occupying a situation of vantage
among many of the towns and will
ages in the adjacent territory, Mos
COW has all the earmarks of future
expansion possible for an inland com
munity.
The center of learning for not only
the Inland Empire but the entire
state of Idaho, Moscow has every
possible opportunity to advance in
tellectually and culturally to the GER
tain betterment of her position as a
leading city of the state.
And further, her prosperous bust
ness district, beautiful homes, we'll
kept city property and mild, healthful
climate, give Moscow an atmosphere
that is not only distinction but
very valuable component of the whole
that goes to give her leading place
among her neighboring municipali-
ties.
1t is little wonder that this univer-
sity student was prompted to make
the statement, Moscow looks good
to me-. And the constant yearly in
flux Of thousands of other students
cannot but have a beneficial effect
upon the advertising of the virtues
and inducements of the city as a
place of business and residence.
A Princeton cowboy historian says
that he emigrated westward in his
early life and discovered he had no
use for his revolver or diploma
Times have changed somewhat. To-
day one still has no use for the for
mer article, but the latter appendage
is becoming more necessary all the
while.
However, Shakespeare Junior is
minded that a large number of east
erners are yet unaware that a six
gun is not at a premium in the far
west
There has been SO much talk about
what a good time was had at the
that Bud Wiser has be-
come convinced that he enjoyed him
self. He always had that impress
sion but is rather fond of having con-
firmation. |
