MEMBERS MERCHANTS ASSOCIA-
TION PLEASED WITH MOSCOW
AND WITH UNIVERSITY
From 1926 to 80, Friday, Moscow
and the University of Idaho were hosts
to "a members of the Spokane Mer-
chants association, who are touring
north Idaho in special train, famil-
arizing themselves with the country
and its resources and becoming bet
ter acquainted with the business men
in the various communities.
The visitors were met at the train
which pulled into the Northern Paci-
fic depot on time by 40 Moscow buSi-
ness men with their automobiles, and
were first taken to the University of
Idaho, and shown through the build
ings and over the university farm.
They were then brought down town
and spent the remainder of the day
visiting the various houses Of the
city, in order that they might become
better acquainted while the committee
from the chamber of commerce., of
which Dean F. A. Thomson was the
chairman, had at first intended to
prepare lunch for the visitors, tele-
phone message was received yester-
day stating that they carried their
own dining car and preferred to de-
vote the time to calling on the bust
ness men.
The visitors are among Spokane's
most successful business men and were
received most courteously every place
they called, departing with a decid-
ed1y favorable opinion of Moscow and
its business men and the University
of Idamo. Accompanying the mem
bers of the association on the special
was Chuck Whitehead, with his or
chestra which played selections. at
several places in the city, including
the Star-Mirror office.
One of the men who had been a
close observer, said that the various
Idaho communities visited were found
in fairly prosperous condition not
withstanding the short crop. Crop
conditions on the Camas prarie he said,
were better than in any other section
visited, yields of forty bushels to the
acre in that section not being un-
common.
The visitor expressed himself as
pleased with the appearance of Mos
COW and it's business houses and es-
pec1al1y pleased and surprised at the
excellence Of the building and equip
ment at the University of Idaho. He
is an eastern college man ana says
that Idaho's university would be a
credit to any state with a much lar
ger population than that OF Idaho.
The North and South highway, he
said will prove great thing for
northern Idaho, and will do much to-
ward increasing population of the
territory along the highway, besides
linking the north and south togeth-
er. He stated, also, that Spokane
was looking forward with anticipa
tlOn to the completion Of the high |
way, which would bring that city
and the cities of north Idaho closer
together.
