OF C0-0PERATI0N

The Moscow chamber of commerce
will do everything in it's power to
aid the neighboring town of Palouse
in securing the large milk condensary
for which it has been working for
the past several months. A delega-
ton of eight members of the Palouse
chamber of commerce met with the
organization Wednesday at the noon
luncheon, and stated the progress
made and the advantages to the Pa
louise country which would be derived
from large condensary.
w. +. Morrison, president of the
Palouse chamber of commerce, was
first introduced, and in turn intro
duced the other members of the Pa
louise party Judge G. d. Kincaid was
spokesman for Palouse, and set forth
some of the benefits which could be
expected from condensary. While
primarily, the income to be derived
by the farmers is the important thing,
he pointed out that there is no more
certain way to build up the soil than
by having a farm stocked with cattle,
for which it will be necessary to raise
forage crops. He said that while the
dairy Industry is one of the import
ant industries in the nation, far out
ranking wheat in the money which it
represents each year, the Inland En-
pire is importing much of its dairy
products, and at the same time de-
pleting it's soil by growing wheat. He
spoke of the need for cooperation be-
tween communities, in order that
great industries might be attracted
and assured the Moscow men of the
willingness of Palouse to cooperate
in any way which she could if this
city should seek any new industry.
Would Aid Latah Most
A. D. Decker, land agent for the
Potlatch Lumber company, was pre-
sent and stated that the Potlatch Lum-
ber company and the farmers in the
Potlatch district are cooperating
heartily with Palouse in the move
ment to secure a condensary Two
Of every three COWS which would sup
ply the condensary with milk would,
he stated, be kept on Latah county
farms, because of the large area OF
land in the up-river district which
is especially adapted to dairying. He
called attention to the ever 1ncreas-
ing acreage of cut-oVer lands, from
which dairy herd can be fed within
TWO years after the timber is removed,
lut which will moi produce grain for
1 generation or more, and would soon
become taxable property and would
)e dotted with comfortable homes.
J. G. Northrup, pioneer of Mos /
cow, having come here 80 years ago, !
said that Latah county would benefit /
most from the establishment of a |
at Palouse, through the /
Increase in taxable property, and the /
addition to it's population.
Others in the PalOuse party were
9. NJ Irwin, J. A. Comstock, A. J.
Webster, j. B. Dudley, and G. d.

Meeting, assured the visitors of the
Hearty cooperation in the movement,
nd said nothing is more needed in
he Palouse country than an industry
which will aid in building up the soil.
