GOVERNOR BACKING
NORTH ROAD

Governor c. c. Moore is taking a
strong stand for the north and south
railroad, and stated Saturday that the
resolution in favor of it which re-
ceived legislative sanction is one OF
the most important constructive mea-
SureS passed by the recent session of
the legislature.
81 know of no development that
could be secured to Idaho that would
mean SO much to us as the construc-
tion of the rail line down Snake river
connecting the south with the northern
part of the state" said the governor.
" Idaho'S great need at the present
time is development and better faci-
Iities to place the products of our cu1-
tivated areas in profitable markets.
North Idaho offers a market for much
of the products of south Idaho but
present transportation facilities pre-
vent the south Idaho growers from
taking advantage of this promising
field South Idaho, on the other
hand, is market for much of the
timber products of the north Idaho
forests, but again the transportation
system now serving the state is a
barrier to profitable trade relations.
Rich in Minerals
Ihe Snake river canyon InrOuSH
which this proposed road would pass.
is rich in mineral deposits, cement
deposits, and other valuable ores, but
the development of these properties
cannot be accomplished until trans
portation is provided.
From the standpoint of the rail-
road, it would seem reasonable to pre-
sumo that this river route would Of
fer the solution to the congestion now
from the heavy grades west
of Huntington. Much benefit would
result to all of Idaho If the north
and south sections could be brought
into closer trade relationship by
direct line. I feel that all conditions
betterments entering into a project
of this character should be given con-
and I also believe that the
material conditions are such that a
showing of necessity for the construc-
ton of this rail line can be made be-
fore the interstate commerce COM

MAKE PROVISION
FOR CITY ELECTION
COMPLETE CITY TICKET TO BE
ELECTED APRIL 24-H0LD
FOR TWO YEARS

AT special meeting of the city
council, Tuesday morning, provisions
were made for the biennial election
of city officials, which, the law pro-
vides, shall be held on the fourth
Tuesday in April. This year the
fourth Tuesday comes on April "a.
A mayor, city clerk, city treasurer
and six councilmen, two from each
of the three wards, will be elected,
the tenure of office being two years
for all elective city offices. Nomina-
tions may be made by convention
petition or mass meeting. In the past
1t has been the custom in Moscow to
nominate by convention, caucuses be-
ing held in the various wards to
elect delegates to the convention.
The convention would consist of
about 65 delegates. The mayor,
clerk and treasurer are nominated by
the convention at large, and candi-
dates for places on the city council
are presented by the delegates from
the various precincts and the action
of the precinct delegation ratified by
the convention, according to past
procedure. No date for caucuses and
convention was fixed, the council
leaving this detail until the next
meeting, which will be held April ?.
The council decided that instead OF
having a polling place in each ward,
there would be but one central poll
ing place, some 16 employees for the
day thus being eliminated The elec-
tion will be held in the Williamson
building, on Main street. The polls
will be open from nine a. m. until Z
p. m.
A petition from residents of the
West Sixth street section, asking for
the creation of a sewer district, was
referred to the sewer committee for
action. The petition was signed by
a large number of residents of the
district

-FOUR PARTIES in
idaho LEGISLATURE
SENATOR Nj. f. LEWIS TELLS OF
DIFFICULTIES AND RESULTS
ECONOMIES EFFECTED.

Below is published comprehensive
and clear statement of the accomp-
lishments of the recent legislature,
furnished on request of The Star
Mirror by Senator NJ e. Lewis, who
did conspicuous work as chairman of
the senate finance committee, and to
whom much credit is due for his aid
in working out reductions in the cost
of the state government which will
in turn be reflected in future tax
statements.
Senator Lewis said:
There were four parties in the leg
islature this year; the platform re-
publicans, the Borah republicans, the
democrats, and the progressives.
Neither party had clear majority in
either the house or the senate. Each
house was organized through the ac-

PIONEER OF MINING CAMP
BURIED BY BOY SCOUTS

Butte, Mont.-(A P)-Boy Scouts
of Butte gave burial to John Kern.
one of the founders and the last re-
sident of Highland City, once a pros
porous placer camp in the hills ten
miles south of here.
The aged prospector was found dead
in his cabin, with his dog watching
his body 1t took rescue party
twenty hours to get the body through
the snow to Butte.
When it was announced that no re-
latives of the old miner could be
found, that he had no visible estate
and that he would be buried at county
expense, the Boy Scouts took hold OF
the situation The summer camp OF
the Butte troops had been near Kern's
cabin and from him they had learned
wood lore Contributions from the
boys raised the money for coffin
and a burial tract, and eight boy
scouts were pail bearers.

H. S. DRAMATIC CLUB
Will PRESENT PLAY

On Friday, March %, and on Satur-
day. March "a, in the high school audi
torium, the High School Dramatic club
will present "The Lion and the
Mouse" drama in four acts by Chas.
Klein. This is the most pretentious
play ever attempted by the high
school students, and is well worth the
price of admission.
"The Lion and the Mouse" is the
story of a young girls battle with
an American money king. 1t is
founded on an attempted impeach-
ment of a federal Judge before the
United States senate. The story is
one of compelling interest.
John Burkett Ryder, the Lion,' is
called the richest man in America"
When the play begins he is planning
the destruction of Judge Rossmore
because that fearless jurist has
handed down decisions inimical to
Ryder's many and vast financial in
tereSts.
In the big scene between the Lion
and the Mouse" the young girl de-
fies the great man and demands JUS
tice for her parent. Ryder, who at
first is mastered by terrible rage
against the only person who has ever
dared to oppose his will, is finally
by admiration for the girls
pluck He exerts his great power on
the night before ROssmOre is to be
and forces his friends in
the United States senate to reverse
their votes. Rossmore is saved and
his daughter is forgiven by the Lion"
Ryder ultimately consents to the mar
riage of his son to the girl who braved
him in his den
The leading role of John Burkett
Ryder, the Lion" is taken by Fran
els Eldridge. The feminine lead, Shir-
ley Rossmore, the " Mouse" is taken
by Bernice Suppiger. Harold How
land as Jefferson Ryder plays oppo-
site Miss Suppiger. other members
Of the cast are Leona Nero, Louis
Soderberg, Hope Gamwell, Gertie OF
ness, Faye Sudderth, Leslie Bumgar-
ner, Theodore Storey, Elmer Dogman,
Lyle Drury, Hollis Anderton, Donald
Fisher, Cecil Smith, Marjorie Simp-
son, and Doris Penwell.
The curtain will rise at 8 p. m.
The price of admission is fifty cents.

FIERY CROSS seen
ON LEWISTON HILL

Lewiston-Between $50 and $50
O'Clock last night the eyes of hund-
reds of residents of Lewiston were
centered on a strange sight appear
ing on the hills to the north of the
city-a large fiery cross with the let
ter X attaching to the bottom From
about $50 until 9:10 the cross and
its emblematic letter stood out in
bold relief against the dark back
ground, forming a sight that was
weird in view of it's being centered in
a broad area of mountainous country,
a country without homes or buildings
of any kind for quite a distance from
the scene where the display ap-
peared.
Whether the lighting effect was
created with torches carried in hand
or by oil strewn along the ground
could not be discerned even with
glasses. A few minutes observation
showed plainly that there was a sort
of wavering of the lights, whether
caused by the wind or movement of
persons is not known
Up to about 900 the lights were
very brilliant but from that time
on they started to die down, and the
last seen was shortly before $50
when, through vision with the naked
eye, it appeared as if but one light
remained, this being almost invis-
ible.
Whether or not it was a meeting of
the Ku Klux Klan cannot be definite
ly stated. Different versions of the
lighted display were given, but the
explanation was that it was an as
semblage of Klansmen. Whether it
was a regular meeting of the order
or one for initiatory purposes, if it
were meeting of the Ku Klux Klan,
is not known, of course.
The point selected for the illumin-
alton seemed to be about a half mile
west of the Lewiston Hill highway
and about a half mile down from the
top of the hill Autoists coming to
Lewiston from points to the north
about the time the lights were seen
stated that they had not observed
anything out of the ordinary, nor had
they seen an undue number of cars
or pedestrians on their travels.
Whether there is branch of the /
I<u KIux Klan existing in Lewiston is (
not known. For some time rumors I
nave had it that the organization did .
exist here and person stating this !

Suppfger to Boise

Attorney G.. w. Suppiger, of Mos
cow, who has been in this city most
of the time since the closing of the
Union State bank, for several months
in charge of that institution as agent
for the state department of finance
and later as repres entative of the sew
eral outside banks interested in col
lections through this bank, was last
week appointed by Governor Moore as
member of the State Industrial In
surance and Accident Board. He left
Tuesday morning for Moscow to make
arrangements to go to Boise and take

ton Of the republican caucus, the
Borah republicans controlling the
house caucus, and the platform re-
publicanS the senate caucus. This
resulted in considerable friction be-
tween the two houses, and prevented
the passage of a few meritOriOus
laws, but it also prevented the pass
age of great many laws of little
or no merit, so the net result was
not bad
The governors message gave the
watchword to the legislature; it was

the legislature acted throughout its
session, each party doing it's part, and
no one party being able to claim more

Comprehensive Budget
For the first time in Idaho's his
tory, each member was furnished
book of budget at the beginning of
the session, this budget showing in
minute detail the following items
First, the expenditures of each branch
of the state government for the 1919

the 1922 biennium Third, the esti

IDAHO'S BASEBALL
PROMISES SUCCESS
TEN VETERAN LETTERMEN ELIG-
IBLE THIS SPRING-TRAININ
ING CAMP AT LEWISTON.

With ten men back from last years
squad and with a promising bunch
of youngsters available from the last
freshman crew, Idaho's baseball
chances look mighty promising-so
good in fact that the Vandal mentors
are planning to establish for a week
only spring training camp at Lewis
ton. This will come at the time of
spring vacation, the first week in
April
During that period the Vandal squad
members will drop down to lower
altitude and go through their PAGES
just as the big 1eaguers do in their
spring training camps. Washington
State college has it's spring vacation
at the same time and there is a
possibility that the Cougars will al
so move to Lewiston, which will pro-
vide sufficient practice games for both
teams. The Lewiston boosters are
strong for having the college mines
with them for few days and are
helping in every way they can. Lew
iston's team may get under way a.
little early in order to take advant
age of the competition available by
the presence of the Vandal and Cou-
gar squads.
Better Showing In Sight
Idaho's nine made a real showing
in the coast conference last year and
with practically veteran crew should
do better this year. 1t seems evil
dent however, that other schools like
wise have veteran teams, so competi-
tion may be as keen in baseball as
it was in the basketball season just
ended
The pitching staff is exceptionally
strong, having been bolstered con-
siderably by the addition of Bob
Fitzke, whose hurlingg last spring
led the frosh into many victory.
The great amount of material avail
able will make competition for posi-
material indicates that Idaho may
than the foot of the percentage
column.
Ten Veterans Back
Veterans on the squad are Bung "
Snow, Captain Lefty" Marineau, and
Les Eddy, pitchers; Frank Kinnison,
catcher; Guy Wicks, second; Skip
py" Stivers, short stop; Harry Ed
wards, third; Alex. Fox, Arnold Cob
ley, and Eugene Ostrander, outfield.
Idaho will play % games, with II
of them on the home diamond. The
schedule is quite satisfactory and
like the basketball outlay, starts off
with a coast trip. The season fol-
lows:
April 23-24-Oregon at Eugene.
