SAYS HORSE WILL BE
EXTINCT IN 100 YEARS

Berkeley, Cal.-(A. P.)-Statistics
recently circulated stated that horses,
in large measure freed, because of
motor power, from the labors that
made them beasts of burden, were in
creasing rather than diminishing in
number. But now comes Professor
E. L. Furlong, curator of the verte-
brate collection at the University of
California, with the prediction that
the horse will be virtually extinct on
the American continent in another
century.
Professor Furlong is so confident
of his supposition that he has started
ern specimens of the equine family.
His collection will rest in the muse
um of paleontology, along with the
bones of the three-toed horse and
othe prehistoric kin.
Recalling the dominating position
of motor conveyances in the cities,
Professor Furlong adds: DAILY the
tractor and the automobile are TAX
ing the place Of the horse in rural
life. AS the usefulness Of the horse
passes, so will the necessity for his
existence. Before many years the use
of a horse for the purposes with
which he has been identified since
time immemoria1 will be a curiosity.
In another hundred years you may
find horses in ZOOS. l am sure you
will not find them anywhere else"

LOUNSBURY TALK NOT
A REPLY To GO0DING

United States Senator Frank R.
Gooding's Moscow friends are anx-
ious that the Star Mirror should cor
rect the impression conveyed by the
headlines in the story of H. E. Louns-
bury's address before the chamber of
commerce Wednesday on the railroad
situation. A careful reading of the
address shows that Mr.. Lounsbury in
no sense answered Senator Gooding
in his railroad controversy, but that
he incidentally referred to the fact
that Senator Gooding had expressed
his intention of introducing legisIa-
tion which would entirely prohibit
any modification of the present long
and short haul regulations
Senator Gooding's friends are anx-
ious that there should be no misun-
derstanding of the work which he has
been doing on behalf of lower trans
portation rates for agriculture and
other products

BRATTON SAYS Los
ANGELES BOOMING

The time is apparently coming
when southern California will be al
most a solid city, according to c. H.
Bratton, who with Mrs. Bratton, re-
turned from six weeks visit at Saw
telle, near Los Angeles. Mr.. Bratton
says the boom in the Los Angeles ter
ritory is beyond anything that one
could imagine and there seems to be
no indication Of a cessation.
1t has been figured out, Mr.. Brat
ton said, that during the working
hours Of October, house was com
pleted every three minutes within the
limits of Los Angeles. The towns in
the vicinity of Los Angeles are now
practically all connected up with the
city. Before a subdivision is pIac-
ed on the market, paving is put in
and school house and church bulld-
ing erected. AS soon as the lots are
placed on the market homes begin to
spring tup. Finishing carpenters are
In demand and are receiving $12 per
day.
Mr. Bratton said that during his Wis
it to Sawtelle, which is not large
town but which is only Ii miles
from Los Angeles, friend sold a
five-acre tract, without any improve
ments, for $4,000.
Thousands of people from Victoria
B. G., and from Seattle, as well as
from other northern coast points, are
moving to Los Angeles to make their
homes, Mr.. Bratton said, VICTORIA
especially losing heavily.

FARMERS ENDORSE
/. GOODING MEASURE
PRICE FIXING BILL FOR BENEFIT
OF WHEAT GROWERS UNDER
DISCUSSION

The Gooding price fixing bill, de
signed to benefit wheat growers, ant
now before the senate, was endorsed
by Latah county farmers this after
noon at a meeting of the local Farm
ers' Union. The vote in favor of en-
dorsing the bill was IA for and II
against. The meeting was called to
discuss the bill introduced by Senator
Gooding of Idaho.
G. P. Mix read letter from Sena-
tor Gooding in which the senator ex-
planned the bill and the attitude of
several other senators and congress-
men, in Washington.
Explains Montana Bill
After spirited discussion of the
bill, and the attitude of the local
farmers toward it, Professor H. c..
Dale, of the university economics de-
partment, on invitation explained
that the proposed Montana bill now
under discussion in connection with
farmers against the influx of Canad-
ian wheat, and would also provide
means for the disposal of surplus
wheat production. The bill would fix
the price of both foreign and domes-
tic wheat, and would also aid in the
marketing of other surplus agricul-
utraI products, and fix the prices ac-
.cordingly, Professor Dale said.
The Montana bill would provide for
the purchase of all surplus wheat, and
it's sale on foreign markets. Wheat
sold by American farmers would have
to be sold at a loss, which would be
made up by assessing the American
farmer a small sum on every bushel
of wheat sold on any market. Adop-
ton of this plan would put the farm
er on the sans basis as the manu-
facturer, regarding protection from
foreign competition. AS the situation
now stand, protective tariff laws do
not affect the farmer, as the manu-
facturer receives most Of the bene
fits from them, explained Professor
Dale. Professor Dale said further
that this plan would not be success
full unless Canadian wheat could be
kept out Of the United States.
Plans Discussed Jointly
At this point in the meeting dis
plans was brought up by Mr.. Mix,
who favored the former because of
he fact that it had already been in
reduced in the senate, while the ,
Montana plan had not. He said that I.
lction would therefore be taken on =

SCOUT WORK UNDER
Dist. COMMISSIONER PLAN

The PaIouse Council, Boy Scouts OF
America, will be continued, according
to the Pullman Herald's account OF
the meeting of 20 council officers
from Moscow, Colfax, Pullman, Pot
latch and other towns within the
council held at Pullman last Sunday.
A council executive to succeed w. E.
Grove, recently resigned, will not
be selected until next May, the affairs
of the council in the meantime to be
in charge of three district deputy
commissioners, to be located in Mos
COW, Colfax, and Pullman, and to be
available for scout work among the
troops in the other towns of the cOun-
Gil. Another meeting will be held
soon to elect council officers and to
organize the work under the district
commissioner plan.
The scout budget for 1928 has not
been entirely paid, according to the
reports made Sunday, most of the de-
being in the smaller com
munities. Pullman is fully paid and
and Colfax expect to com
plete payment this week. An effort
will be made to collect the entire
within the next two weeks,
which would give the council cash
balance Of between $500 and $400.
Scout work in the two counties rep
resented in the council was reported
to be progressing satisfactorily, with
! tendency among community organi-
cations to take over the local troops
and "father" them. At Oakesdale the
W. O. w. lodge will sponsor the scout
roop, while at Endicott the K. of P.
odge will take over the affairs of the
ocal troop.
