GOV. DAVIS OPPOSES
MORE BONDS FOR IDAHO

Boise = Times are dark and
discouraging, but far from hopeless,
Governor d. w. Davis told the county
assessors of Idaho, assembled for
their annual conference in the senate
chamber Of the capitol, today. The
governor predicted that within three
years a new and sound prosperity
will have returned to the nation and
to Idaho. 1t can safely be expected
that this will not besmerely another
period OF initiation as we had during
the war, he said, but that times will be
genuinely good and prices for pro-
ducts of all kinds will be at a level
from 40 to 60 percent higher than dur
ing the period just before the world
war
The governor closed with the state
ment: 1.-The bonded Indebtedness of
Idaho as a state is $5,500O00. | hope
not another bonds is issued and | will
oppose increasing this as long as /
live in Idaho. The old argument has
always been that we should let pos
terity pay for the capital improve
ments we hand down. but we have
been fooling ourselves We pay much
more in interest and sinking funds
each year than our expenditures
would be for improvements III the
same period. l hope the time will
soon come when the bonded debt is
wiped out and the state will pay as
she goes"
The assessors convened a little
after 10 o'clock, all of the A counties
of the state being present with the ex
ception of half dozen George w

tion of hours. In slight delirium
at the noon hour, the Pontiff resisted
the efforts of physicians to listen to
the heart action and expressed de-
sire to rise and perform his usual
duties. Belief that life might be pro-
longed until late in the afternoon was
aroused by the attending doctors. The
Pope was delirious and unconscious
at 1915.
At $3.50 p. M, bulletin issued by
the physicians said: Condition of

MOSCOW DEFEATS
PULLMAN 24-2l
COACH BUTLER'S MEN NOSE OUT
VISITORS-GAME FAST
AND ROUGH

Il Moscow high school triumphed oven
the Pullman high school quintet, "a
to 21, in fast rough game at the
high school gymnasium Friday night
1 before a good crowd which packed the
gymnasium. The game was close
with Pullman on the long end of the
score, 9 to Z, at the end of the first
half. The comeback of the Moscow
players after an even score in the
greater part of the second half and
their final nosing out of the visitors
xas the feature of the game.
Nedros, crack forward of Coach
Buffers well-oiled machine, was high
point man of the Moscow team with
nine points. The playing of w. Man
yer, Pullman center, was sensational.
He was the outstanding star of the
game with his making of - points.
Many Personal Fouls
The game was rough throughout
and Schroeder and @. Manver of the
Pullman team were put out of the
game on account of each making four
personal fouls. Homer Hudleson of
Moscow refereed a good game with
his clean and impartial calling Of
fouls.
The long shooting of both teams
made a feature. The guarding OF
both teams was good around their
own baskets and both teams were
forced to resort to points through the
long basket route. The two teams
play again tonight at Pullman. A
large number of Moscow high school
students will make the trip to Pull
man to see the game.

POULTRY FANCIERS
ELECT OFFICERS
REORGANIZE OLD PANHANDLE
ASSOCIATI0N-SH0 CLOSES
A COMPLETE SUCCESS

Reorganization of the Panhandle
Poultry association was perfected at
a meeting Saturday afternoon of Mos
COW and Latah county poultry fame
iers held in the Washburn and Will
son company offices. r. T. Parkhurst
of Moscow was named as president;
R. e. Waldo, Moscow, vice president;
H. w. Hubert, Moscow, secretary
treasurer; w. l.. Elder. Moscow, sup
erintendent.
A board of directors of five men
were named as follows: B. E. Colli-
son, Kendrick; Edward Solburg, Troy;
E. c. Wolfe, Palouse; W. A. Fiscus,
Potlatch; c. E. Hershberger, Lewis
ton.
Under the provisions of the new
organization and under the charter
grant from the old Panhandle associ-
alton the new body automatically be-
comes member of the American
Poultry Breeders association. Here
after competition for prizes in the
associations shows will be open to
all poultry raisers.
Membership dues of the association
are 81 year and all people interest
ed in poultry are invited to JOIN.
Plans were discussed at the meeting
for the years program of activities
and for the next poultry show at
Moscow.
The poultry show closed Saturday
afternoon at O'Clock a complete sue
cess in every way. A fine collection
of exhibition birds we're gathered to-
gether and the attendance at the show
at all times was good. There were
more than 200 entries made.
1.-THE classes of Rhode Island Reds,
Barred and White Rocks, Partridge
Rocks and Leghorns were especially
good" was the statement of r. v
Mitchell, head of the Washington
State college poultry department, who
judged the show. Mr.. Mitchell eX-
pressed himself as we'll pleased with
the entire show and praised the La
tab county breeders for their interest
in securing better standard stock.
Mr. Mitchell recommended the
sending of three prize birds to the
Spokane Poultry Breeders associa-
tion show at Spokane, January % to
2S. and following out his suggestion
the three prize winning birds were
shipped to Spokane Saturday after
noon.
The birds shipped to be entered in
the Spokane show are: a Barred
Rock pullet owned by Fl. M. Wilson of
Moscow, a White Rock cock owned
by William Staples, and a White Leg
horn pullet owned by H. w. Hubert.
'There is no reason" said Mr..
Mitchell, "why people wanting stock
of a standard breed cannot be able
to receive what they want right here
in Latah county. The breeders of La
tab county have a fine lot of the
standard line and poultry raisers can
well profit to look into the standard
breeding of their birds"
The complete list of prize winners
will be available for publication on
Monday
