MOSCOW GIRL IS
CONTEST WINNER
MISS HELEN PARSONS GAINS BIG
LEAD OVER OPPONENTS IN
SHRINE-DOKKIE CONTEST

Miss Helen Parsons, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. L. #. Parsons of this
city, has been declared >the winner
in the Dokkie-Shrine popularity con-
test for queen of their joint "sircus
to be held Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday, May 10, IL, and IL, according
to returns received from Lewiston al
four o'clock this afternoon, giving
the complete balloting returns
throughout the Inland Empire. The
final tabulation shows Miss Parsons
to be in the lead with more votes to
her credit than the combined votes OF
the two other leading contestants.
Miss Parsons received a total OF
10000 votes, while Miss Gladys Stov-
all, of GeneSee, came second with
2S,S00 and Anoma Charleston of Pull
man third with 2S,700 votes.
Assured This Morning
1t was learned this morning that
the Moscow young lady had evidently
won the contest, enough votes having
been counted at that time to assure
her of maintaining substantial lead
over her opponents, but it was not
until late this afternoon that the final
count was received by the Star
Mirror, through Marshall Hyde, of
Lewiston, in charge of the contest.
The winning of the popularity con-
test by Miss Parsons is considered
quite an honor for the Moscow girl
who will be crowned queen of the
carnival and who will receive be-
sides a prize of $100 and all expenses
to and from the three day celebra-
tion to be held in the Snake river
city next week. According to all
reports, this years "sircus'' will be
larger than ever before, and a large
crowd of local Shriners and knights
of Pythias are expected to take part
in the affair. A large Buick, sport
model, six-cylinder car, will also be
given away during the sircus" to
the holder of the lucky ticket, each
admission being a chance on the auto
mobile.
Ended Midnight Saturday
All votes for the popularity con-
test, according to the rules as stated
by the committee in charge, were to
have been postmarked before mid
night of May 5.
The "sircus" this year is being
given jointly by the two Lewiston
fraternal orders, and is being billed
as the best show of it's kind ever
scheduled for this part of the
country, and the reputation establish
ed by both the orders in giving
original entertainments is enough to
assure its success.

THINK FOUR men ROBBED
OROfINO POSTOFFICE

Further information regarding the
robbery of the Orofino postonice early
Saturday morning was received in
Moscow today and Sunday. The rob-
hers, who appeared experts in the
nse of nitro -glycerine, obtained about
500 in stamps and cash to the ex-
tent of about $50, after blowing off the
doors of the steel vault in which all
valuables and papers are kept.
The robbery was not discovered
until the postmaster arrived in the
morning to dispatch the early mail
on the Lewiston train, and an i'm
mediate alarm was spread. No clews
were left which the officers could fol-
low up, although it is presumed that
four men were responsible, and that
they travelled in an automobile, as
tracks of a machine were found near
the building. A much greater sum in
cash could have been secured, had
not the men left prematurely, prob
ably having been frightened away be-
fore completing their task
A fast automobile was reported as
going through Cavendish, Is miles
from Orofino, at $50, and at 1870
the same car was reported in Pot
latch, where it stopped with tire
trouble. No notice of the robbery had
been received there at that time, and
the men were not molested. Post
office Inspector Moser of Spokane.
has taken charge of the case.

1000 ODD FELLOWS ARE
COMING TO MOSCOW

r. t. Owens, grand patriarch of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows for
Idaho, made an official visit 10 the
local camp Saturday, and was the
principal speaker at a largely at
tended meeting Of Odd Fellows, Sat
urday night
Mr.. Owens, who is from Malad
City, and has been visiting the vari-
GUS local camps throughout the
southern part of the state, predicted
that Moscow will be called upon to
entertain at least one thousand Odd
Fellows and Rebekahs next October,
when the grand lodge meets at this
place He stated that while many
times the delegates do not all attend,
the expression everywhere now is that
they will attend the 1928 session. In
many cases parents will take advant-
age of the opportunity to visit their
children who will be enrolled at the
of Idaho, while many other
persons, who have never visited Mos
COW express a desire to see the states
greatest educational institution. 1t is
needless to say that the persons who
are not familiar, or with the univer-
sity, will be surprised and pleased.

default ENTERED
in HIGHWAY CASE
COMMISSIONERS LOSE CASE BY
REFUSING TO PLEAD-CARRY
CASE TO SUPREME COURT

Argument on demurrer in the case
OF Susan B. Oversmith of Moscow,
against Highway District No. 2, La
tab county, G. P. Mix and j. H. Hazel
tine, highway commissioners, and
the Investors Syndicate of Mime
apolis, which sought to restrain the
highway district from investing
funds of the district in the sum of
SIS, 800, with the Investment Syndicate
was heard this morning in the dis
trict court by Judge Edgar c. Steele.
After argument by counsel for both
parties in the case was heard, the
demurrer filed by the defendants Feb
ruary l, was overruled. After hear
ing the decision of the court the de-
PENDANTS refused to further plead
and a default was entered on the
court records, which gives judgment
in the case to Mrs. Oversmith, and
restraints the highway board from
carrying out its proposed investment
policy.
Counsel for the defendants in the
case almost Immediately filed notice
of an appeal to the Idaho state SUI
preme court
Seeks Invest S77,50O
1t was set forth in the original
complaint filed in the district court
January 80, that the commissioners
of the highway district, in session
January 2, passed motion that the
commissioners invest with the In
vestors Syndicate the sum of $500
q year for period of ten years for
the purpose of creating fund with
which to take care of bonds against
the district, it being stated in the
motion that at the end of the ten
years the amount so invested would
be sufficient to take care of $4,000
in bonds
The complaint, which was today
decided against the highway hoard
and co-defendants through their de-
fault, alleges that the returns from
the proposed investment would be
inadequate and much less than could
be procured under like form of in
vestment in Idaho, and that the same
kind OF Investment could be made
with better security within the high
way district and with a guaranteed
return of seven per cent compounded
annually during the ten-year period
1t was also charged that the district
would not receive any security what
soever for the funds, other than the
mere promise of pay, except that it !
was understood the investment com
pany intended depositing with the
secretary Of state securities equal to
ITO per cent of its liabilities in the
state.
The arguments heard by the court
this morning were intricate to the
extreme, and consisted in the main
or legal technicalities. The plaintiff T

FINAL PAYMENT OF 1922 TAXES
BEGINNING TO COME IN

The last half of the 1922 taxes on
real estate are due and payable at
the county treasurers office, and will
become delinquent the fourth Monday

treasurer states that the taxes are
beginning to come in and that con-
siderable expense in the way of ex-

tances early. The bulk of the taxes
come in the last few days of the
period, making it impossible for the
regular force in the office to take care

COMING SEASON
RICH in PROMISE
STATE BANK REPORTS SHOW I'M
PROVED CONDITIONS THROUGH
OUT IDAHO

Summary of the reports of state
banks at the close of business April
I3, 1923, given out Thursday by 10
w. Porter, state commissioner OF lin
ance, and comparison with similar
statement, published March 10, 1922
indicates that the loans made by state
banks have decreased during the
year to the amount of 1920, ,19l.7l;
that the purchase by the banks OF
stocks, bonds and warrants have
strengthened their secondary reserve
amounts to $4,411,6S5.4S, an increase
of 1862 2,3S2.68 for the period.
The report as published in the Ida
no Statesman also shows that the
banks have charged off total of
$143,22384 from the amount at which
banking house, furniture and fixtures
were carried.
Savings Increasing
Savings deposits have increased
nearly one-half million dollars, and a
reserve of 221a per cent, which is IN
per cent above the legal requirements,
has been mainland.
One hundred twenty-four banks
were reporting to the state commits
sioner Of finance on March 10, 1922,
while on April 3, 1928, 110 banks re-
ported, showing, according to the re-
port, that IA banks have either
merged with other banks OF. have been
taken in charge by the department OF
finance in closed condition.
The report recites that conditions in
the greater part Of the state, as dis
closed by reports of banks, indicate
rapidly returning prosperity in the
farming districts. Crops are reported
in an encouraging condition Produc-
ing mines are operating at full capa-
city.
Industries Active
In the timber districts numbering is
going on at top speed, and prices are
satisfactory to the lumbermen. On
the sheep ranges, which at the pre-
sent time absorb the stock business OF
Idaho to a large extent, the sheepmen
appear to be optimistic, since the
price of wool is satisfactory and the
demand for mutton absorbs all good
at good prices. Dairylng is
fast becoming one of the great indus
tries of the state.
The report concludes with the state
ment that " not since the beginning Of
the history of Idaho has any season
opened up with greater promise for
prosperity than the present.

brothers in hot pursuit, attempting
to keep the ''uppers" from enjoying
the p1easurer of the sneak. The train
was in charge of P. F. Nixdoorss. Few
seniors were to be seen on the CAM
pus this morning, and what few were
in evidence took long chances OF be-
