Westinghouse CA. P)--Congress and
President Harding are not at logger
heads, despite the impression created
by certain writer's and newspapers,
Representative Mondell of Wyoming,
republican leader, declared today in
a statement prepared for an address
in the house.
There never has been a time in
my quarter of a century experience
in congress when relations between
the president and congress, particu-
larly the house of representatives
were more cordial, pleasant, sympa-
thetic and harmonious, than at the
present time. Anyone who takes the
trouble to read the communications
of President Harding TO this congress
will find that practically all of these
accommodations have either been writ
ten into laws, or are in the process
of enactment

SCENERY FOR ADAM
and eva ELABORATE

In order to insure quick changes
of scene between acts and to suggest
the rich interior settings demanded by
the script of Adam and Eva" the
management called on the drapery
department of DavidS for co-opera-
ton The result vii be a stage pic
ture striking in detail and repre-
sentative of the latest designs in
stage settings on metropolitan stages.
One hundred sixty yards of F'riar's
cloth has been used to form the walls,
falling in soft, even folds of pongee
color from height of fourteen feet.
Three women have been kept busy
for four and a half days hand whip
ping the seams and sewing on snaps
hemming the whole with lead tape to
insure graceful draping.
The total weight of the material
amounts to about 800 pounds which
is hung from huge wires suspended
across the entire stage.
This method of staging plays gives
one unlimited flexibility nj adapting
thsi stage for any play With the
drapes in the production of Adam
and Eva" there Will be used high
French doors and windows draped in
benna silken hangings, with cream
furniture, and soft shaded floor and
table lamps.
The impressionistic farm scene in
the last act will be a decided novelty
to Moscow with it's conventionalized
flower garden, window boxes, and
high hedge. The original garden new
er was gayer than this one.

HIGHWAY CLOSED
Since FEBRUARY |
STATE EQUIPMENT NOW OPENING
ROAD TO E-CONDITION
WITHOUT PARALLEL

After being closed to automobile
traffic since the first day of Febru-
ary, it seems probable that the high
way between this city and Genesee
will be opened by the first of April
The states big caterpillar tractor and
heavy graders are being used now by
the Genesee highway district to open
up the last few miles into that town
The state highway outfit, which in
cludes snow plow was shipped in
from Boise late in February. having
been delayed in transit by the high
waters along the O.-W r. & N By
that time the huge drifts were almost
solid ice and it was difficult to make
any progress in cutting through
them. By persistent work, however,
the road was first opened to the south
end of the Moscow district where the
job was taken UP by the Thorn Creek
district, and has just been completed
through that district to the Genesee
district. There is but a comparative
" short distance now to be. opened.
Never before in the history of La
tab county have roads in the vicinity
of Moscow been blocked to traffic so
late in the season. This is due partly
to the fact that the highway is new,
and it had been impossible to tell
where 1T would drift so that some pro-
lection might be put up. Also, the
snow has drifted worse than usual
all through the winter. 1t is be-
lieved that there will not be a recur-
renee of the condition, even if the
SHOWS should be heavy and drift
badly. 1t is probable that some pro-
lection will be built where the snow
drifts worst, and also that the state
will keep equipment here to be used
in keeping, the road open. If the trac-
tor and equipment had been available
while the snow was loose, the road
could have been kept open.
The last car to come over the high
way from Genesee was the Moscow
Lewiston stage, driven by Mr.. Drew
of this city, on January 81. On the
day the stage was showed
in on this side of Genesee, and traf-
fic mas been suspended on the stretch
of road since A few cars have
come through from Lewiston, by go
ing to the junction of the highway
and the MoscowPullman road, and
making a cut-back over the sand
road to Moscow. The condition of
this road, however, has been far from
satisfactory.
