NClaud Craig, Archie May. Bill

recently from an elk hunt in the up
per Clearwater country. They went
to Lowell and then followed the Sell
way river for several days, pene-
trating the heart of the Idaho big

bagged and it took z shots to kill
it. 'Beef were plentiful but the
party had their plans set for bigger
game. Not enough time was allow
ed for the trip or the hunt would
no doubt have been more successful
Weather conditions were ideal and
a spelndid trip is reported. The
wonderful trout fishing in the Sell
way made up IN a measure for the
lack of elk.

More Equitable Adjustment

Those of us who live in the cities
must consider more equitable adjust
ment of farm earnings. That is an
unsolved problem that needs study by
bankers and business men.
''We do not need any boom, nor do
we need to expect any extravagant re-
turns, but good times seem assured"
Never was such an opportunity Of
fered for public officials to make a
reputation for business administra-
tion in public affairs.
Supposing that governor decided
to make record for himself from the
standpoint of efficiency and economy.
Supposing he could consider state
affairs in the same light as private
business with an eye to making vari-
GUS state departments money makers
for the general fund or as nearly self
supporting as possible. Supposing
such governor would spend a year
or two personally in checking up de-
partments that might be consolidated,
numerous department heads that
might be eliminated under consoli-
dated departments, savings that
might be made by wedding out dead
timber that accumulates in any large
organization whether private or pub
lie. and putting the whole state organ.
ization on strictly business basis.
No one but the governor of state
is in such an ideal position to bring
about improved administration in
state affairs. The governor who would
devote his term of Office to applying
business principles in state activities
would make name for himself that
would give him any higher Office in
the power of the people to grant.
We need leaders in public Office,
men who appreciate the honor of their
position and who are not afraid to
direct the people along sound lines.
With such policy in state affairs
we would see the same condition re-
flected in the smaller political units.
We have many good public officials
who could carry such policy into
effect if they could tear themselves
away from the idea that every move
they make must be for political ex-
pediency for the purpose of securing
votes, rather than as a matter of busi-
ness to save the taxpayers money.

A Moonshine Row

Andrew Dickinson is in the Latah
county Jail charged with the manu-
facture of intoxicating liquor and
John Engberg is still in a partially
dazed condition with unacceptable
features as a result of a battle with
Dickinson Sunday night, three miles
from Deary, says the Star-Mirror.
Sheriff John l.. Woody and Prose-
cutting Attorney John Nisbit were
called to Deary late Sunday after
noon by report of murder. Dick
enson, with Engberg unconscious
beaten up beyond recognition and un-
der the belief that he had killed him,
told neighbors to call the sheriff.
Sheriff Woody and Mr.. Nisbit
rushed to the Engberg farm of 40
acres, three miles out of Deary, and
found both men under the influence
of liquor and Engberg in a dazed
condition. Dickinson was placed
under arrest land the place was
searched for liquor. A quantity of
mash was taken, and this morning on
second search a complete still was
unearthed by the officers
Dickinson and Engberg quarreled
Sunday afternoon. Engberg said that
he had protested against Dickinson
making liquor on the place and that
Dickinson had proceeded to beat him
up. The house looked as though it
had been hit by cyclone when the
officers arrived. Dickenson used his
fists and anything he could reach in
the battle, and Engberg apparently
retaliated. Dickinson, however, in
f1icted severe punishment upon his
opponent in the battle with no holds
or blows barred
Dishes, furniture and all loose
throwable materials were used in
the battle. Practically every win
dow in the house was broken from
the conflict by flying missiles. Dick.
enson emerged from the conflict with
pair OF pulled and bleeding
hands and one or two scratches on
his face.
Engberg's face was beaten beyond
recognition and he was unconscious
for so long that Dickinson believed
that he had been killed. Dickinson
went to neighbors with instructions
to call the sheriff preparatory to Civ
ing himself up.
Dickinson was renting the Eng
berg 40 acres. Engberg is employed
by the Potlatch Lumber company as
a blacksmith in one of their camps
Dickinson was arrested on Sunday
night and held in the Latah county
Jail. The Engberg place was searched
again Monday and the complete still
discovered. Dickinson was brought
to the Latah county Jail Monday
morning.

More Building Activity

Building operations have been
large factor in the revival of business
this year, as building expenditures
enter into a great variety of indus
tries and extend over the entire coun-
try. The West Coast Lumbermen's
Association, which covers the western
part of the states of Oregon and
Washington, reports production
from January to September Of
1888, 1858 board feet, as compared
with 1,633,051, ,237 in the correspond
ing period last year.
The F. w. Dodge Company, report
ing building contracts in the 27
northeastern states for the first eight
months of this year, says that the ag-
gregate, $2,362, 1872, 900, is not only the
largest amount for the first eight
months of any year on record, but is
greater by s7,OOO,000 than the total
for the entire year 1921. The out.
standing feature of the Dodge report
for the month of August is the in
crease in industrial plant construc-
tion, which amounted to 21 per cent
of the months total, which is a high
er percentage for this era of construc-
tion than in any month since 1920
Residential building still maintains
the lead in August with 800, 1885,, 900
worth, of contracts, or 81 per cent of
the total. Public works and utilities
amounted to $49,s52 900, or Is per
cent; business buildings, $38, 8,122 900,
or IL per cent; and educational build
ings, $32,055. 900, or 10 per cent.
Construction started in the Central
West (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wis
consin, Michigan, Missouri and por-
tions of eastern Kansas and Nebras-
ka) during the first eight months of
this year has amounted to $3.50, ,050,-
600, an increase of $36,0O0,000 over
the total for the entire year 1921.
The great amount of llouse-building
has stimulated the house-fur1sShing
trades. Furniture, carpets stoves, ETC.,
are moving well. Prices are stronger
in carpets and rugs.
The complaint from many indus
tries of shortage of labor, confirmed
as it is by wage increases, shows
that employment is now practically
full. and that the earnings Of labor
in the town industries are such as
to support good volume Of trade.
Notwithstanding the great -expan-
sion of capacity during and following
the war, and the recent consultations
Of steel companies, which are suppo-
sed to put restraint upon rival activi-
ties, enlargements are being planned.
The Briar Hill Steel Company, of
Youngstown, is contemplating expend.
itures aggregating $10,000,00O. The
Carnegie Steel Company has begun
the construction of by-product coke
plant to cost $35,000,000.

Speaking of spuds of various kinds
and sizes, John Bromeling brought
some to town the other day that
would make any one sit up and take
notice. They are what is known as
Pink Eye" and are very pretty po-
tato indeed. The one brought to the
News Office measured 5x7h inches
and weighed 2A pounds.

bition in his shoe shop window that

E. E. BechtoI, well known business
man and cabinet maker Of Kendrick,
recently purchased the cabinet shop
of H. o. Fields of this city, and will
make the establishment one Of the
most progressive establishments of
its kind in the Palouse district.
The deal was consummated October
Is, at which time Mr.. Bechtol took
charge or the business. Mr.. Bechtol
has been located for the past eight
years at Kendrick, being in similar
business there and comes to Moscow
with a wide range of experience in
cabinet making and all lines of in
terror wood work.
Mr.. Bechtol has already begun an
extensive remodeling and enlarging
Of his shop, and has ordered new
pieces of machinery which will be in
stalled in short time. 1t is the
plan of the new proprietor to install
equipment such that furniture and
cabinet work suitable for sale In the
retail furniture market can be made.
He will also continue to do any kind
of piece work or special construction
that Moscow residents or business
men may desire, an stated that there
was no work too delicate, nor work
too large and rough for them to tackle.
Mr.. Fields was forced to give up
his business due t ill health. He will
remain in Moscow, however, and will
do contracting work. About four
men will be employed steadily when
the new equipment arrives and every
thing is running in good shape
whereas but one man has been EN-
ployed in the shop during the pas,
several years.-Star-Mirror.

Two more farmers on the road to
prosperity. Wednesday saw the plac-
ing of two imported Jersey COWS on
the o. S. Nelson farm and one with
c. w. Thompson. These animals were
purchased from Mr.. Williamson of
Moscow, who is doing great deal
towards bringing the farmers into
their own by shipping in high grade
stock and selling them at a fair
price. People are realizing more and
more that scrubs are only "boarders"
and that it is the high grade stock
that brings in the cash. We did not
get the pedigree Of the above animals
but will have them for our next issue.

True it is that these are not very
prosperous times for the country.
Some think times are actually so
hard that they can do better else
where. That is mistake in most
instances. Our advice to the peo-

such notions is to get rid of them,
stay on the job. Other sections
are having their troubles too. This
country is going to come back and
those who stick will come back with
it.-Deary Press.
