Engineering BUILDING
IS VISITED BY FLOOD

When instructors and students ar
rived at the engineering building, at
the University of Idaho this morning
they found that the basement was
covered with over four feet of water
the mystery of which for time was
puzzling, but which was finally laid
to the clogging Of a drain pipe in
the machine shops, causing the water
to work it's way into the basement of
the building.
1t is estimated that considerable
damage has been done by the water,
as the basement is used as a store
room for both the chemistry and
electrical engineering departments,
as we'll as the roads material testing
department. The full extent of the
damage will not be known until the
water has been pumped out, but 1t
is thought that it will run into sever
al hundred dollars, and possibly as
high as a thousand.
Large supplies Of chemicals are
kept in the basement, and it is In
that department where the greatest
loss will result, all depending whether
or not the containers in which the
chemicals were stored were suffici-
entity strong enough to withstand the
long emersion under water.

SCHOOL KIDDIES DRINKING
MILK THROUGH A STRAW

The Moscow Health association S
milk feeding experiment with Mos
cow public school children has pass
ed it's first week. Owing to limited
funds free milk to all children was
impossible, hence an impartial Sc
lection had to be made. The lot fell
upon Miss Morris and Mrs. Smith S
rooms, from which thirty pupils
agreed to drink the daily supply of
milk furnished by the association.
Any of these 80 children may, if they
wish, contribute to the association
fund, though it is in no may obliga-
tory
The experiment at once proved
popular as was indicated by other
children who asked for milk on a
"pay on delivery" basis. The cost to
these children is three cents per one
half pint bottle. Milk deliveries at
the Whitworth building, including the
80 bottles furnished for experiment
by the association, were as follows
the first week:
Monday, so bottles; Tuesday, 81
bottles; Wednesday, 105 bottles;
Thursday, 105 bottles; Friday, 104
bottles.
Superintendent Soulen suggests
that perhaps the drinking of fresh
milk from sanitary bottles and with
straws added something to the popu-
larity of the experiment. At any
rate Mrs. Forney, to whose interest
the plan is largly due, is enjoying the
fun quite as much as the children.

SEE EASTER SPIRIT
in STORE WINDOWS
TEMPTING DISPLAYS IN LOCAL
SHOPS PROVE DOWNFALL OF
SPRING-B0UND SHOPPERS.

Moscow citizens need only to wan
der casually through the business sec
tion of the city and inspect the dis
play windows of the various stores to
realize that Easter, and with it spring
is upon us. The local groceries and
markets are displaying their fastest
edibles to tempt the housewife, TAX
ing advantage of the balmy weather
to do her early spring shopping, while
the millinery and clothing stores are
displaying hats and frocks that un-
mistakably speak of the Easter sea-
son.
The many spring dresses and suits
being shown in the department stores
are evidence Of the fact that fashions
have taken a decided turn toward
added length with q noticeable de-
crease in the circumference, practi-
cally all of the newer models shown
being narrow almost to the extreme.
The light tans and blues seem to be
the predominating colors, with little
of the louder and more pronounced
shades in evidence.
Spring hat wear for milady, on the
other hand, can be had in almost any
COlOI OI Ol COlOlS, anu
leans decidedly to the small turbans,
lavishly decorated with blossoms and
ribbons.
Bratton's grocery store has in it's
window a number of live rabbits,
which do not fail to attract the young
ster's eye as we'll as halting a large
proportion of the elders passing that
way The window of the Varsity Gro
Gerry is artistically decorated with
Easter cakes, candies, and pastries,
with a huge Flemming rose bush in
full bloom as a centerpiece.
The Cold Storage Market is making
a large and tempting display of fresh
vegetables, shipped in especially for
the Easter trade, and which include
spring peas, spinach, and raddishes.
The Bon Ton and Mitten's confection-
cry store windows contain large dis
plays of Easter candies and baskets
which will furnish agreeable sur
prises for many Moscow kiddie Sun
day morning.
All in all, we fully agree that spring
is here, and are beginning to dig up
that last years straw hat and won

son, or whether we too shall yield to

FRIDAYS SERVICES SEE WIND-UP
OF ANNUAL CONVENTION BEING
HELD HERE.

The final business sessions of the
twentieth annual meeting of the Walla
Walla Presbyterial society which has
been in session i'll Moscow for the
past three days, are being held at the
local Presbyterian church this after
noon, and will be followed by SER
vices and lectures by several of the
noted lecturers here, tonight
Friday mornings meetings were in
the nature of an open conference
given over to a round-table discus
sion of some of the problems which
the local organization has to meet
and the ways in which better organi-
service rendered the church both
here and in the foreign field The
discussion was led by Mrs. E. T. AL
len, missionary of Wurnia, India
DR.. Lewis Speaks
Dr.. Elizabeth Lewis of Fatehgahr,
India, was the principal speaker at
the meeting last night. She spoke
on the type of people which the
American missionary has to deal with
in India, and the Impressions which
are first gained upon taking up the
foreign field work. The type of
country around Ambala, in the pro-
vince of Punjab, where Dr. Lewis
first went from America, and the
work which she undertook there were
described by the speaker.
She particularly emphasized the
need of doing all of the work planned
undertaken by the church in India
in highly satisfactory manner, par
ticularly in these more or less un-
settled times The work being done
by the missionaries among the
lepers, and the educational and gen
eral medical work done were de-
scribed in detail by DR.. Lewis.
Enjoy Indian Songs
A delegation of five Nez Perce
Indian women sang several songs at
the evening services in their own
tongue, which was followed by the
regular monthly communion service
of the church.
Marie Preston of New York City

TOWN REALTY IS IN
GROWING DEMAND
PEOPLE SEEK HOMES IN MOSCOW
MUCH HOME BUILDING is
PROMISED.

The coming of spring weather is
having a noticeable effect on the real
estate market in Moscow, according
to local dealers, and it is believed
that through the spring and summer
the transfers, especially in the resi-
.dence district, will far exceed in
number and amount, the transfers of
any recent year. Renters are looking
for permanent homes in the city and
persons from outside, who are ex-
pecting to move to some city for edu-
catiOnal purposes are attracted by
the excellent high school facilities and
by the University of Idaho, which
offers unsurpassed advantages for
higher education. Then, too, there
.is q honey atmosphere which is ap-
pealing to persons seeking location
for a home, which is not found in
every city.
In addition to the activity in resi-
dence property, there is reason to be-
lieve that there will be more build
ing this season than for a number
of years past, to supply the demand
for modern homes. One firm of con-
tractors expects to build three or four
bungalows for rent, or for sale. An
individual property owner has an
nounced a willingness to build two
modern bungalows, which will be
offered for rent or for sale, and sew
eral most attractive homes will be
built by individuals for their own use,
if present plans work out.
Persons looking for homes in Mos
cow are finding that values are not
based on speculative figures in any
sense, but that they can buy homes
we'll within the figures which they are
actually worth.
Frost VIII Build Home
Thursday afternoon A S. Frost, OF
the Idaho Garage, bought from Rol-
ston Butterfield the vacant lot at the
corner of Polk and First and will
build a modern home, which, accord
ing to present plans, will be one of
the most modern and attractive in
the city, in keeping with the homes
in the neighborhood. The lot is one
of the most desirable vacant lots in
the city The transfer was made
through the Metropolitan Investment
company.
L. c. Cady, a professor in chemistry
at the University of Idaho, has closed
deal through the Metropolitan In
vestment company for the purchase of
the Philip Lattimer residence property
on Lily street. The house contains
five rooms and is modern, excepting
furnace.

THE BUSY BOY.

How doth the busy little boy
Improve each shining minute?
By puncturing his daddy's tire
To find out what is in it.
Why does he sugar take, and salt
And mix the two together?
Because he wants to help his ma
And keep her in good feather.
Or else the coffee and the tea
He will together link;
Persuaded that by doing so
Twill make a bran new drink.
At times he pulls the kittens tail
And makes her yowl for fun;
Or, to this end, and to the cats
He aims his bee-bee gun.
One thing is sure, the much praised
bee
If even half as busy
AS mothers blue eyed darling pet
Would think the world was dizzy.

Official of Electric
Railroad Explaining
Deer-COW Episode

An official of the AndroScoggin
and Kennebec railroad is coming in
for his share of the chatting these
days as the outcome of hn incident
which occurred Monday night. This
official has worked his way up from
the ranks, while in the employ of
the company, and is of course we'll
qualified to act as q motorman.
He was returning from Waterville
on the car which arrives in Augusta
about six o'clock, and at the time
the car was five minutes late. The
hero of the story, then, so the story
is told, exchanged places with the
regular motorman with the idea of
showing the regular nan how to
make up time.
Everything was going fine until
they reached what is known as
Weeks field. near the Augusta Vas
salboro line, when the car bowling
along at a good clip, two animals
stepped upon the track. Rumors
have been going about the city that
these animals were deer while others
declare that they were but lowly
heifers. but in any case Il collision
seemed inevitable.
The only thing to be done was to
throw on the air brake and this was
done. with the result that the car
came to an abrupt stop and the pas
sengerS gravitatcd to the front vcsti-
bule. One of the animals escaped
destruction. but the other was not as
fortunate and it, whatever it may
have been, was boWled over and
came to a sad end.
The car continued its journey to
Augusta, shortly afterWard. but
there seems to be some difference
in opinion as to who was driving it,
On Tuesday it is understood that a
party of men including this official
returned to the place of misfortune
and disposed of the carcass. but in
what way, our informant fails to tell
And thus the story is told. with
various laughable interspersions, and
kind friends who tentatively remark
i'll the presence of this official that
they are fond of deer meat. then
quickly retire from the scene.
