CHAMBER commerce TO
DISCUSS Swimming POOL

Interest at the weekly luncheon of
the Moscow chamber of commerce,
Wednesday noon, will center around
the proposed plan for a swimming
pool for Moscow, which the Purity
Cremery company proposes to build
on their property on Sixth street. A
large attendance is expected, many
persons having expressed their inter
est in the movement
Business men and members of the
faculty at the university, look upon
the plan proposed by the cremery
company as offering an opportunity
to secure the much-desired swimming
pool without cost to the community,
while plans considered heretofore by
the community called for an expendi-
ture of approximately $4,000. The
proposition now, according to infor-
nation given The Star-Mirror by B. c.
Rowe, secretary of the chamber of
commerce, hinges almost entirely on
the matter of interest on the part of
the citizens, the only thing in a fl
way asked being the sale of
reasonable number of season tickets,
insuring the backing of the commun-
ity

Stillinger remodeled the house for a
residence.

"Irreconcilables"

Calling names gets us nowhere. Ad-
vocates OF American participation in
the broils of Europe are in the habit
OF calling the great mass of Republi-
cans "irreconcilables." Now, as a
matter OF fact, who are the real ''irre-
concilables" The traditional Ameri-
can policy is to be on friendly rela-
tons with all nations. but to avoid
entanglements. Our internationalist
friends departed from that policy
when President Wilson insisted that
this nation must make the supreme
sacrifice" His followers refuse to be
reconciled to the time-honored and
sound American policy. They are the
irreconcilables. They utterly refuse to
be reconciled to Americanism-New

be cheaply reclaimed For these rea-
sons alone, Idaho profited rather more
than her share from federal reclama-
ton funds. Oother states provided
the cash, Idaho got the projects. No
politics was included, it was merely
a common sense business proposition
based on the fact that idaho offered
the cheapest and best projects.
Today Idaho realizes that reclama-
ton is almost a failure il agriculture

number Idaho has.
Liberalization OF the present pay

should see fit TO greatly increase the
reclamation fund. And that is alto

Editor The Tribune:
Thank you very much for editorial
in the Tribune OF September 2l. which
has just been placed on my desk.
II is rather unusual for a newspaper
to give any credit whatever to a big
corporation and especially to rail-
road corporation occupying the terri
tory exclusively, as ours does. when
IL performs efficient service. As you
know, ! spen, twenty years OF my life
in the newspaper business and | al
ways found il easier and also that il
required lar less courage TO attack
big corporation than 10 defend one.
With very best wishes.
Sincerely.

Gently appointed member of the

first-hand information of prison life.
Box, who was appointed to the
board after the Jail delivery last
month, said his experiment prob
ably would cover the second and

The first day or so will be spent
in a receiving cell, in which the
prison physicians observe the new

While in that cell he will have
opportunity to learn how the bad"
convicts act, for the observation

He will then be assigned to a
block and cell. He will rise every
morning at o'clock and at 7
o'clock with the 100 or more con-
victs of the same block he will be
marched to the mess hall with his
tin plate and cup for breakfast.
His days will be spent about the
prison yard and in the shops. He
