PULLMAN SAYS MOSCOW BAND
REAL MUSICAL ORGANIZATION

That Pullman appreciated the work
of the Moscow City band, and also
the large attendance from this city
at the excellent Fourth of July cele-
bration in the Whitman county city,
is evidenced by the following from
the Pullman Herald:
''The Moscow band is a real musi-
cal organization and helped materi-
ally toward making the celebration a
success. They gave their services
free Of charge, being paid only their
expenses by the committee. Another
indication of the good feeling which
exists between Moscow and Pullman.
Let's reciprocate when the opportun-
ity presents itself.
&C. And while we're talking about
Moscow, let's not forget that hund-
reds of Moscow citizens came over
for the celebration. One observer
said that every second car was an
Idaho machine. and he wasn't far off
at that Thanks, Moscow

IDAHO WANTS OUTLET
THROUGH OREGON TO CALF.

Salem. Ore.-To eliminate the pre-
sent necessity of shipping eastward
to Salt Lake City in order to reach
California points. Idaho interests are
willing to support the Oregon pub
lie service commission in it's fight
to get railroad connection across cen
trail Oregon, according to correspon-
dence received by the commission.
A hearing on the question is to be
held in Portland before the inter-
state commerce commission on Au-
gust 10, the date having been changed
from August 3.
The Idaho interests have been try
ing to get railway connection between
Rogerson, Idaho, and Wells, Nevada,
but this is a stretch of 200 miles
across a desert country and is ap-
parently impossible, though it would
afford easy access to San Francisco.
Since the Oregon plan would meet
this need of Idaho, considerable sup
port is expected from cities in the
eastern part Of that state.

RAINFALL CONTINUES In
THE PALOUSE DISTRICT

Following a decidedly rainy June,
the unsettled weather is continuing
on into July, making a record for
early summer rains in the Palouse
country which but few settlers claim
to have seen equaled. While the
June moisture has made certain a
bumper crop of grain, and the hay
crop is the heaviest the country has
seen in years, if not in the country's
history, the farmers are eager now for
some real summer weather, to enable
them to complete the hay harvest.
Warm sunshine would not come
amiss with the grain at this time,
either, although June was an ideal
wheat month.
heavy rain fell throughout the
Palouse country Friday night and
Saturday morning, putting a stop to
hay harvest for a few days and
knocking down considerable alfalfa.
The rain also caught a considerable
acreage of alfalfa cut, but still on
the ground This will probably be
bleached somewhat and if the damp
weather should continue for few
days may be badly damaged.
Word comes from the ridges south
Of Moscow that the rain was heavier
there than here and that considerable
grain and alfalfa was knocked down.
Vegetation of all kinds is growing
rank. and the Palouse country needs
only summer weather to gather in the
crop. -

MIR. AND MRS. ]. Nj. HIBBS, PIO-
NEERS, TRAVEL FROM CALL
FORNIA IN UNIQUE VEHICLE

Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Hibbs, early day
residents of Moscow, but now resi-
dents of San Diego, California, arrived
in the city Friday afternoon to spend
a few weeks visiting with their large
circle of Moscow friends. The trip
was made in their palace on
Wheels complete little home, on a
one and one-half ton truck.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hibbs came to Mos
cow 43 years ago and made their
home here continuously for 80 years,
leaving 13 years ago to make their
home in the south. Mr.. Hibbs was
one of the extensive land owners in
this district, owning and operating
1000 acres of choice wheat land near
Moscow. He disposed of his holdings
before leaving here, 700 acres being
purchased by the late Bayard T.
Byrns.
While Mrs. Hibbs has visited in
Moscow since moving to California,
this is Mr.. Hibbs' first trip and he
is delighted with the excellent condi-
ton of the crops and the marked i'm
provement noticeable, both in the city
and on the surrounding farms, where
many new homes have taken the place
of the early day homes.
Vehicle Attracts Attention
The comfortable little home on
wheels in which Mr. and Mrs Hibbs
are travelling attracts attention
wherever they go, and has been given
much publicity in Portland and San
Francisco papers. 1t is equipped
with electric lights, and with a mini
ature water system. There is a good
sized wardrobe bureau, writing desk,
all built in features. There is a full
sized bed, which folds over and makes
a comfortable lounge for use during
the day. A table can be pulled out
from underneath the bed and a chair
is concealed in the wall at each end
of the table, to be drawn out for
use at meal time. The wardrobe has
plate glass doors. There is an
abundance of cupboard room and also
a medicine chest. The seats for the
driver and his companion are on
swivels and are especially built and
most comfortable. Thirty-five gal
Ions of gas can be carried and 25 gal
Ions of water The little house has
no appearance of being crowded. but
still contains everything needful for
two people to live in comfort

able time travelling in their little
home on wheels.

PLAN To REDUCE
NORTH MAIN GRADE
SUBSCRIPTION AND HIGHWAY
DISTRICT MONEY TO BE USED
ON NEEDED IMPROVEMENT

delegation of farmers from north
of the city, together with a number
OF business men, appeared before the
city council at the adjourned meet
ing Friday evening, to ask aid in
cutting down the steep grade at the
north end of Main street, part of
which is inside the city limits. This
grade has been a source of annoy
ance to the farmers who travel the
road, and it was stated before the
council that 13 families who trade
exclusively in Moscow have no other
route by which they can come to
town. c. J. Hugo was spokesman for
the petitioners.
The council decided that it did
not have power to spend city money
in cutting down hills, but agreed that
the piece of work asked is badly
needed and suggestion was made by
Mayor Melgard that part of the money
be raised by public subscription, the
mayor and several of the members of
the council offering $40 each toward
such a fund. 1t was decided that this
method of raising the money should
be adopted and that highway district
No. be asked to meet three-fifths
of the expense, which is estimated at
$500. G. P. Mix, one of the highway
commissioners, was present and said
that he believed the district would be
willing to undertake the work on this
basis.
The ordinance creating local sewer
age improvement district No. S, and
the ordinance Of intention for local
improvement district No. 16, provid-
ing for Improvement on Van Buren,
street, passed the third reading.

excellent place for camping and the

world for day of good clean enjoy
ment A big picnic dinner was served

given over to enjoying the sports and
to visiting. The committee had on
hand dozens of gallons Of ice cream,
for the benefit of the visitors, and
the kiddie who didn't have money
was just as welcome to his fill of
ice cream as the one who did.
