BETTER HIGHWAYS IN 1929
TO ABSORB $2SS, 800 yO0o

Washington-(A. P)-The 1873
road construction season Is expected
to add many hundreds OF miles 70
the country's system of improved
highways. Figures compiled by the
Bureau of Good Roads of the Depart
ment of Agriculture from 21 scattered
states show they will have available
s2S8, 900, 900 for this purpose, com
pared to S273.0O0,0O0 spent by them
last year On federal-a1d work,
which constitutes something like one
half the total mileage, there was un-
der construction March 81 work estl-
mated to cost $258, 100000, as com
pared with $233, 100000 on the same
date a year ago.
The general outlook is regarded as
considerably better than year ago,
when the railroad and coal strikes
were disturbing factors. The des1gna-
ton of federal-aid highways is now
completed in 33 states, and is almost
complete in the others. Thirty states
now tax gasoline. as compared with
only four at the beginning of 1921,
and most of this revenue goes for
road purposes.

FARMERS DISCUSS
WHEAT PROBLEMS
MEETING PRELIMINARY TO BIG
GATHERING ON THE 1STH-SEN-

| One of the most enthusiastic gath
erings of farmers in recent years was
held Saturday evening in the Farmers
Union hall when more than one hund
red farmers of the Moscow territory
gathered to discuss the proposed
northwest meeting, called for August
18, at this place, to discuss measures
for stabilizing the price of wheat
Arnold Lyon, president of the Far
mers' Union, presided and talks were
made by George Sievers, manager OF
the Moscow Union Warehouse COM
pany; Clark Butler, E. S. Barton, G.
J. Carlson, w. T. Cameron, w. E.
Cahill, and G. P. Mix.
Mr.. Sievers urged cooperation on
the part of the farmers in every move
ment which might be for the better
ment of agricultural conditions, and
said that the Gooding bill seemed at
this time to be most likely to bring
relief within reasonable period.
Mr.. Cahill spoke from the bankers
standpoint, and said that there did
not seem to be any Of the laws
enacted for the benefit Of the farmer
which could be called into use In
beneficial way at the present.
G. P. Mix, who was one OF the
first. if not the first man In the north
west to advance the idea of the gov
ernment fixing the price OF wheat for
a term of three years, outlined the
many plans for relief of the wheat
farmer which have recently been ad-
vocated, and said that there did not
seem to be any, outside OF the Good
ing bill, which offered any prospect
of immediate relief. He said that all
the farmer asked was that something
be done to bring wheat to fair
price and hold it there two or three
years until the farmer can catch his
breath again. He called attention to
a report of an address delivered at
Colfax by Congressman French, which
stated that the congressman was op-
posed to the government fixing the
price. and said that he thought Mr.
french had been misquoted. Senator
Borah's advocacy of building up our
trade, as the only solution
to the farmers problems, he said
would be all right for the next genera
but did not offer any immediate re-
ief.
Mr.. Mix expressed the belief that !
senator's and representatives should
,ot follow out entirely their own |
deas. but should consider the wishes
md needs of their constituents.
Following the talk by Mr.. MIX a
rote was taken, the sentiment peing
practically unanimous for the Goodlng
ill.
Another meeting will be held next
saturday evening, preliminary to the
northwest meeting here on the 18th.

SPOKANE FIRM WILL PACK OUT
MOSCOW DISTRICT FRUIT CROP

Young & Wells, Spokane shippers of
fruits and Vegetables, who packed and
shipped more than dozen cars of
cherries from Moscow this season,
will pack out pears, prunes and
apples from this district, according
to word received by the Star-Mirror.
The firm will have men on the field

contract the crops.
The cherry crop was the biggest
and most profitable the district has
had in years, and the prospects are

will bring more money into the terri
tory than for many years
