M. p. MILLER SAYS HOMES UNDER
CONSTRUCTION IN PORTLAND

Mark p Miller arrived home Tues
day evening from Portland, where he
had been for several days looking
after his extensive holdings in that
city. Mr. Miller states that business
conditions seem to be good in Port
land with continual influx of new
residents, and with an average of
1000 homes under construction
throughout the year.
One of the surprising things, Mr..
Miller states, is the rapid develop
ment of the radiophone on the coast,
where the big broadcast stations are
accessible. Scores of radiophone out
fits are being installed in the cities
and country towns and also on the
farms.
The spring is just as late in the
Portland district and in the country
between here and Portland as it IS
here, Mr.. Miller says.

STRONG CHARACTER IN
TRANSPORTATION REVEALED
IN "FOOTLIGHTS''

Transforming an American girl
reared in simple New England town.
to a pampered Russian actress is
every bit as hard as it sounds. in
"Footlights" a Paramount picture
starring Elsie Ferguson, at the Ken
worthy theatre tonight and Thurs
day, this development is shown step
by step.
Lizzie Parsons, the American girl,
as played by Elsie Ferguson, took
two years of complete isolation and
hard study to accomplish this feat.
Her entire life had to be changed.
She had to surround herself with
Russian servants and teachers. In
stead of simple American food, she
had to acquire a taste for herrings.
For coffee, she learned to drink tea,
mixed with lemon and whisky, with
out sugar, and she had to replace her
after-dinner apple with cigarettes.
The hardest sacrifice that she had to
make was when her little kitten was
taken away as being too American
and she was given a monkey, an ami
NAL that she loathed, to make a pet
Of
But Lizzie Parsons succeeds, as only
an American girl can succeed, in the
transformation. Her sham is not dis
covered even by Russians. Elsie Fer
guson who is starring in the picture
brings to the role a keen lnteypreta-
ton. Reginald Denny is leading man
and others in the cast include Marc
MacDermott, and Octavia I1andworth.

$45O,OOO FOR
LOLO PASS ROAD
SECRETARY WALLACE APPROVES
HIGHWAY PROGRAM-BEGIN
WORK SOON

Dispatches received yesterday at
office of the Lewis and Clark High
way association at Lewiston confirm
the messages of Saturday that Secre-
tary of Agriculture Henry Wallace had
approved the application of $780, 900
for the highway program this year be-
tween Missoula and Kooskia, says The
Tribune. These messages came from
u. S. Senator f. r. Gooding, Congress
men Addison T. Smith of Idaho and
John w. Summers of Washington; !;
Colonel D. P. Olson, Idaho state di-
rector of the bureau of highways, and
M. J. Carrigan of Seattle, who receiv-
ed direct advices from the Washing
ton bureau of the Seattle chamber of
commerce.
The plan approved by Secretary
Wallace provides for the use of $780,
900 of the Montana forest highway
funds to build from the Lolo Hot
Springs to the Idaho state line,
distance of seven miles; $4,000 of
the Idaho forest development funds
to build from the state line to the
Powell ranger station, distance of
IL miles, and $4,000 of the Idaho
forest highway funds to build from
Lowell to a point II miles east. This
will make total of 81 miles to be
constructed this year and represents
approximately one-third of the entire
project.
The actual building of the highway
will be under the federal bureau of
public roads, G. H. Purcell of the
Portland office being assigned to this
responsibility. Mr.. Purcell is much
interested in the highway and it is
felt he will lose no time in getting
the work under contract, so that the
links now financed can be completed
before the bad weather period this
fall

Social at Pine Grove

Under the direction of the Young
Peoples Society of the Union and
Pine Grove districts a fine social gath
ering was held at the Gilbertson home
northeast of Moscow last week About
half a hundred persons of nearly all
ages mingled in hearty sociability.
About all the good games that could
be thought of were played on the
lawn. Music and a short devotional
service and good refreshments added
to the substantial value of the evening.
But the young folks do not specialize
on socials. They believe in balanced
rations for body and soul. The de-
votional meeting on Sunday, follow
ing the social was also well attended,
and a profitable meeting is reported
under the leadership of Forrest
White, who is president of the So

courts were gone over, and all uni
versity property was cleaned up and
improved as the result of the morn
ing's work. The men were divided
into IL groups to complete the IL
projects of work. A few strikers
were captured by the military police
and padded and ducked. The nom
performers were tied to a rope and
literally doused with a well directed
stream from a fire hose.
Activities of the military police fur
nished plenty of diversion for the
workers. AS the unfortunate culprits
were brought to a watery justice all
work was suspended. The feature of
the morning was the ''ducking" of
three who had failed to report. In
order to avoid wetting their clothes
the three were allowed to appear in
their underclothes. Tied to a long
rope the stream of water from the
fire hose played on them furnished
for the crowd and punish

CIRCUS DAY FOR
MOSCOW THURSDAY
AL G. BARNES FOUR RING WILD
ANIMAL SHOW AT FAIRGROUDS
TOMORROW

OlTCuS Gay III MOSCOW tomorrow.
Al 6. Barnes four ring wild animal
circus shows in Moscow Thursday af-
ternoon and evening with the street
! formance starts at o'clock and the
evening show at 8. o'clock The cir
Gus colony will be put up at the Fair
grounds.
The Barnes circus features Tusko
the largest living elephant in the
world, and Lotus, the worlds largest
and only performing hippototamus.
The circus coming to Moscow tomor-
row boasts 1880 people, $50 horses and
1900 wild and domestic beasts.
"Alice in Jungleland"
A new attraction this year is en-
titled "Alice in Jungleland," an ori-
entail baEbaric offering of 100 people
and 500 wild and domestic animals.
The circus promises the usual circus
thrills along with the wild animals
that really is the big feature of the
Al G. Barnes show. Starting with the
feature elephant, Tusko, There are
nine other elephants, and every specie
of the jungle inhabitants of the world.
The Barnes show is essentially wild
animal circus and therefore a feature
circus
The street parade, billed as two
miles in length, is said to represent
an outlay of half a million dollars.
Feature Largest Elephant
Of most interest perhaps is the
elephant, TuSkO, known as the largest
elephant in the world. He is former
native of the province OF Candy, Cey-
Ion. According to the story, AL. G.
Barnes, head of the circus which bears
his name, has the sum total of the
affection in the heart of the giant
elephant Another interesting animal
parsonage is Ruth, the elephant that
waits on Tusko, carrying hay to him.
Of almost equal Importance with
Tusko, is Lotus, billed as the largest
and only performing hippopotamus in
the world
Circus day may well be referred to
as day of surprise after surprise.
The first big event is the arrival Of
the circus. The Barnes circus comes
in So steel lined cars The unloading
of the animals, the circus parapher-
MALTA, and the general equipment is
always a sight well worth watching.
The hum of activity, the strange cries,
and the general strangeness of the
circus grounds is always an attraction.
Miraculous Circus Organization
The Fairgrounds will become a
great canvas city, erected as if by
magic, with it's cook tents, horse
tents, side shows and the big show
top. The lifting of the tent for the
main show, known as the ''big show
top, is well worth waiting for. Most
remarkable perhaps though is the al
most uncanny organization of the
circus. Each man has job to do at
a certain time and he does it at that
time
Only by the most perfect organiza
ton can circus succeed. Youngsters
and grownups may we'll, with their
good time tomorrow, learn the value
of an organization as shown by the
AL G. Barnes circus. The circus
scene is one of fevered activity and
gives the impression of disorganizat-
ion rather than organization but tents
are put up and pulled down as if by
magic and the answer is-organiza-
ton The circus coming to Moscow
tomorrow is successful and each man,
woman and animal doing his or her
job is the answer.

JANUARY, 1922,
THIRD COOLEST
Only Exceeded Twice in Matter Of
Low Temperatures Since Sta
tion Was Established Here
Forty-six Years Ago

Winnemucca's government weather
station has been maintained for
46 years with an intermission of two
years which followed fire that de-
stroyed the building and observatory
equipment. Thus complete weather
records are on file covering period
of "A years. Nearly one-half of
these have been compiled by OBJ
server Ray Fisher during his con-
tinuous period of incumbency in the
official position. It may not seem
much to the average citizen to carry
on after the fashion characterizing
Mr.. Fishers daily work, but it must
be borne in mind that he rises early
and retires late as a result Of the
chores entrusted to him, which must
be performed whether he is well or
i'll. Indeed, his job is more or less
like the work performed by the
lighthouse keeper who maintains his
lonely vigil in and out of season.
His identity is lost in the beacons
that light the way for those who sail
the seas. Mr.. Fishers observations
are officially published over the
length and breadth of this great
land and the name "Winnemucca"
is carried in all the weather reports
published on the American continent
dealing with meteorological condi-
tions. Like the man who flashes his
signals seaward his identity is lost
in his perfunctory attainments.
Digging deep into his Office rec
ords this morning, Mr.. Fisher un-
covered the fact that the last Janu-
ary, now happily ancient history,
was the third coolest in the history
of Winnemucca station. The mean
temperature for the period was 14.8
degrees above zero, as compared to
normal mean of 20 above zero.
Only twice has this been exceeded
previously, January, 1890, when the
mean was 14.7 degrees above zero,
and January, 1917, when the mean
was IL above.
The highest temperature yester-
day was 81 above and the coldest
this morning was six below zero.
The mean for yesterday was 16
above, as compared to a normal
mean of 81 above.
The forecast for tonight and Fri
day is: "Fair and continued cold"
What a "snap" for the coal man
and the ice man!

LIQUOR CASE IS
BEING SUMMED UP
Alleged Prohibition Violation by F.
M. Williams and r. J. Eckloff
is Being Argued, Judge }. A.
Callahan Instructed

The evidence in the case of the
state against F. M. Williams and
R. ]. Eckloff was concluded this
afternoon and at about 4:30 o'clock
following a short recess, District
Judge ]. A. Callahan. gave his in
structions to the members of the
jury that will decide the innocence
or guilt of the accused. Immediate
ly thereafter District Attorney L. G.
Wilson started a summation of the
evidence in the case and the empha-
sis of those points wherein he hopes
to secure a conviction. He will be
followed by Attorney Harry War
rem, representing Williams and Eek
loft and Attorney T. E. Powell will
also plead for the states cause.
The states material witnesses
were Sheriff G. w. Brady, Chief of
Police X. G. Lamb, Under Sheriff
C. w. Muller and Night Policeman
Perry Boyd.
It is a significant fact that Sub
stitute Policeman Sparks, who ac-
companied Sheriff Brady on the oc-
casion of the raid of Williams bus
mess place, disappeared later and
has not been heard from officially
since. His present address is un-
known. The fact that he allowed
Williams, one of the defendants, to
knock the evidence" out of his
hand to be spilled on the sidewalk,
is attributed to his inexperience in
dealing with situations Of the kind
in which he participated. The liq-
uids disposed of had been secured
from behind Williams bar a few
minutes in advance of the episode.
1t is believed that the arguments
to the jury will not be concluded
today unless District Judge j. A.
Callahan orders a night session in
which event a verdict may be OBJ
tanned this evening.
The following are members of the
jury that will pass on the case:
A. D. Ramel, C. F. Zimmershead,
C. w. Mills, L. C. Peterman, Vernon
J. Bell, F. L. Kelsay, Frank Dan
gelmaier, John H. Jose, Rodney B.
