Sherlock Holmes is the best known

Sherlock Holmes, mean i detective of

Arthur Conan Doyle in which Sherlock
Helmes figures, have been translated

fame into every nook and Granny OF
the world.
In the realm of the Imagination, he
is q commanding figure. bit a figure
that has not hitherto been available

some day Sherlock Holmes would ap-

That day has finally come. and within

Gus movie theaters throughout the
country in the Goldwyn picture called

ton from the stage play fashioned
about Sir Arthur's famous character
by William Gillette. which that actor
used for years on the speaking stage.
1t has been one of the most popular
plays in the history of the American
stage. Every stock company in the
land has played it.

Its film version had only awaited
the finding of an actor who could

RECORDER OFFICE
HAS BUSY MONTH
MARRIAGE LICENSE COUNTER
HAS DECIDED SLUMP-MANY
PAPERS FILED.

In the recorders office during the
month of December 306 legal instrn-
ments, such as mortgages, deeds, etc,
were filed, according to Homer Estes
recorder, who today compiled results
of the months business.
Marriage licenses, seasonable
article for the holidays, and general
ly in great demand at this time of
year, slumped considerably and only
10 were sold. Last year the sale was
just twice as good, according to Mr..
Estes and in 1919 19 were sold.
Twelve court cases were filed during
this period, none of them of outstand-
ing Importance. There was one each
of contract, divorce, account, insur-
ance collection, to quiet title, mort
gage foreclosure foreclosure of deed,
suits and one for collections of
wages. There were two unlawful
detainer suits and two for collection
on promissory notes.
File Will for Probate.
The will of the late Lula A. Burson
was filed in the probate court tgSaay.
With the exception of $5 grant to
her son, all the property and holdings
of the deceased were bequeathed to
her husband, Lewis F. Burson and
the will asked that he be appointed
executor. Filed along with the will
was petition from the husband ask
ing that in his stead, John Nisbet be
as executor.
Petition for removal of two suits to
the U. S. district court for insurance
collection filed by the Leo Brothers
Co., were granted by Judge Edgar c.
Steele. In these suits, the plaintiff
asks $4,000 from New Brunswick Fire
Insurance Co., and $4,000 from the
Norwich Fire Insurance Co. Owing to
a statute limitation, third case,
smaller sum, will be settled in the
district court.

CRACK LEGIONERS
TO Invade IDAHO
WALLA NALLA TEAM TO MEET
VANDALS IN TWO GAMES
JANUARY 5 AND 6.

The University of Idaho will see its
basketball team, the Vandals, in
action for the first time this season
against the Walla Walla Legionaires
who come to Moscow, January 5 and
6 for a two-game return series. Sew
eral minor changes have been made
in IdahoS schedule due to conflict
with other university dates. The Kel-
logg Y. NJ G. A. quintet invade Van
dal territory on January 8 and 10 and
Immediately after that the VandaIs
start slashing at the big schedule,
opening against the University of
Oregon at Eugene, January Is and 16.
The Vandals found comparatively
easy sailing against the independent
clubs met during the Christmas va
cation transforming tour. The Walla
Walla team is perhaps the strongest
Independent quintet in the northwest
and one of Idaho's strongest oppo-
nents, composed of ex-college men,
including Squinty Hunter, four-year
Vandal forward, Sticks Dement, of
Whitman and Copeland of w. S. G.
For the first time in history Squinty
will come out on the university floor
on an opposing team. Squinty is per-
haps the greatest basketeer Idaho
ever had and was graduated with four
service stripes and two stars, de-
noting two captaincies.
This years squad, however, is de-
veloping some real fighting material
Rick, captain, and Al Fox, both for
wards, are playing spectacular
basketball. AL has made good start
toward making a new individual
scoring record for theseason.
Idaho coaches are not at all dis
over the team.
To insure that townspeople will
have good seats at the coming games,
reserved seats are on sale at Nc
billiard hall and at the Econ
omical pharmacy Through the in
stallation of new seats on the lower
floor, the gymnasium now has ca
pacity of 1900, 500 of them on the
lower floor.

FOUNTAIN DRINKS BACK
TO BEFORE WAR LEVEL

AS a result of the government elimi-
mating the 10 per cent tax on soft
drinks, coca colas, those stimulating
kokes, have dropped to the pre- war
price of 5 cents Other soft drinks
are following suit with ice cream
cones now jitney, plain ice cream
10 cents, ice cream sodas at Is cents
and matted milks at 20 cents.
Costs incident to fountain operation
are still more than before the war,
according to local dispensers, but they
feel that the present prices will re-
turn greater net profit than higher
ones.
Clerks and cashiers heaved mighty
sigh of relief as they read of the tax
being lifted. When the law first went
into effect. there was considerable
trouble in interpreting it and since
then the tax has been a 5ugaboo and
constant source of bother and con-
fusion. Cash register attachments,
designed to account for the amount
of war tax, will be dismantlcd with
great glee by everyone who has been
unfortunate enough to operate one cf
them.
Customers likewise found the tax
inconvenient and bothersome and with
it done away with, dealers feel the
trade will go up some and their pat
rons be in better frame Of mind.
1t is one tax the people never got
used to, and probably never. would,
one dealer declared.

WALLA WALLA DRUBBED
In FIRST IDAHO GAME

The Idaho Vandals last night up
set northwest basketball dope by de-
feating the sensational American Le-
gion team of Walla Walla by a score
of Is to II. In the first half the Le-
gion led IL to but in the second
period, a mad squirt by the Idaho team
soon put it alongside the opponents
and in the last minute or two OF
play the game was won.
The victory gives northwest dope
sters some interesting data to ponder
over. Walla Walla recently swamped
the Washington State hoopsters,
nearly doubling the score on them
Whitman college also has found that
she is no match for the former SOL
diers.
The winning last night strongly In
dicates that the Idaho team has con-
siderable strength that was not ap-
parent at the first of the year and
gives promise of being strong con-
tender for the conference title. Fox
brothers were outstanding stars of the
Walla Walla game.

FORESTRY SCHOOL
Sees IMPROVEMENT
VALUABLE RESEARCH WORK BE
ING CONDUCTED BY FACULTY
MEMBERS

Addition of one faculty member
installation of considerable new equip.
ment, a substantial enrolment in
crease and growing popularity oi
short courses are among the out
standing features of last years work
of the University of Idaho school OF
forestry, according to its news letter
which will be in the mails within q
few days.
Members of the faculty are actively
engaged investigating problems af-
fecting Idaho forestry and numbering,
according to the news letter. F. G
Miller, dean of the school, and Prof
Edward C. Behre, spend the summer
months studying the minimum re-
quirements for continuous forest pro-
duction in Idaho, Dean Miller work
ing in the white pine regions of the
northern part of the state and Pro-
fessor Behre investigating the yellow
pine sections of the south.
Following a national program in
augurated by the U. S. forest service,
in cooperation with forestry schools,
state forestry departments and pri-
vate agencies, the simplest, most
workable and easily understood meth
cd of cutting off timber lands so that
there will be natural second growth,
is being sought. When a plan for "a
given area is developed, it will be put
before the lumbermen operating there
for their acceptance.
DR.. Henry Schmitz, associate pro-
fessor of forestry, is doing extensive
research in wood decay and wood
preservatives. In this he is testing
the value of oil as a wood preserva-
tive, the effect of alBili soils on the
decay of timber and similar problems.
Clarence w. Watson, Yale, recently
returned from Sweden where he did
a years post graduate work in for
estry as the result of receiving q
scholarship from. the American-Sca

Parmeshri Das Sharma, post gradu
ate student from India, is doing re-
search work into the rate of decay in
vertical and slash sawn lumber, an
investigation that is expected to yield
data of considerable practical i'm
portance.

LOAN ASSOCIATION
PAYS Dividend
LOCAL ORGANIZATION PROMISES
TO BE STRONG FACTOR IN
COMMUNITY HOME BUILDING

The directors of the Moscow Per-
manent Building & Loan association,
at meeting held yesterday declared
a semi-annual dividend of three and
one-half per cent. This, with
a dividend of four and one
half per cent paid in June last, makes
the annual dividend for 1921 seven
and one-half per cent.
The Permanent Building & Loan
association was formed about 1S
months ago, to furnish funds for
home builders, in order to help meet
the demand for homes. Since that
time two members have built new
homes, funds have been furnished
for three others to buy homes and for
another to make extensive improve
ments on his residence property.
Guy Wolfe, secretary Of the orga-
nization, states that there are many
inquiries now regarding the organiza-
tion by persons contemplating build
ing next spring and summer and he
predicts unusual activity in this line.
The organization expects to extend
it's scope and to be able to finance
considerable building during the
year.
The officers are Phi. Soulen, super
intendent of schools, president; p H.
Clayton, vice president; J. S. Hecka-
thorn, treasurer and Guy Wolfe, sec
retary.
The association is now offering on
the market a profit-sharing certifi-
cate, which can be bought on the in
stallment plan and is in the nature of
a savings account, netting per cent
compound interest.
The Permanent Building & Loan
association should grow to be most
valuable organization to the city,
making possible, as it does, the build
ing of good homes by persons who
might otherwise remain renters, or
who might build on a less extensive
scale. In many towns, especially the
homes of higher educational institu-
tions, majority of the best homes
have been built through local loan
associations.

FACULTY CLUB robbed
LITTLE LOSS REPORTED

A thief entering the University club
sometime early this morning, went
through the house and made away
with approximately $50 in silver. The
thief entered the house after members
Of the club had retired, and went
through the pockets Of all the clothing
he could find but ignored silverware,
jewelry and other valuables. The
door had been left open the night be-
fore, making entrance to the house
easy.
Last year the club was burglarized
three times, the conditions of each
c~se being the same IS the one last
night No traces were left and no
clew has as yet been discovered. AS
club members sleep on large porch,
the intruder found it possible to en-
ter with minimum danger of being
caught.
