Over $1,000 Received
For Memorial Building

MOSCOW, Subscriptions In
excess OF 100000 have been received
by the Idaho Memorial IA ISOLATION for
the erection of a state memorial on
the campus of the University Of Idaho,
plans for securing the balance OF the
finances necessary are now under
way, and actual construction OF the
Idaho Memorial will start within the
not distant future. This information
was made public recently by r. d.
Leeper, president of the association.
following meeting of the board Of
directors at Moscow on July 6.
Preliminary plans and studies Of the
building as prepared by Architect
David l.. Lange were considered by
the board. The plans contemplate n
building approximately 40 by 220
feet, simple in design, and the collegi-
ate gothic type. The most prominent
feature will be the memorial tower at
the main entrance. This tower will
contain the memorial tablets OF
Idaho's Immortal 600" and the war
records of all those who served in the
Spanish American and World Wars.

Prosperity in Business

NEW YORK.-Healthy business
conditions in all parts of the country
were found in nationwide survey by
the National Association of Manufac-
turers, the result of which were made
public recently by John e. Edgerton,
president of the association. The sur
vey covered manufacturing plants in
thirty basic industries.
1.-THE industry of the nation is run
ming on an astounding curve of "a per
cent of it's maximum employment
capacity and unemployment is practi-
cally MIL" said Mr.. Edgerton's report.
This is an unusually healthy summer
status; there can be no slump"
Among the Industries covered were
the automobile, agricultural imple-
ments and supplies, building materials
and supplies, clothing, chemicals and
drugs, electric, food and food prod
ucts, iron, steel, machinery, textiles,
and toys and novelties.

2,70 cars with non-skid chains on all

fected reduction of only scant 10

cost of non-skid chains would have
been decidedly low price to have
paid for such benefits.
Much has been said and written

Idaho Man Appointed
To Government Place

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow.
member of the staff of the Idaho Blu
reau Of Mines and Geology since 1920,
has accepted an appointment to the
staff of the ground water division of
the United States geological survey,
according to announcement by Dr..
Francis A. Thomson, dean of the
school of minues and director of the
bureau. Mr. Piper will leave for
Washington, d. c., in the near future.
Mr. Piper's work in ground water
investigation in Idaho has included re-
ports on the geology and water re-
sources of the Goose Creek basin near
Oakley, of the Bruneau River basin In
Owyhee county, of Camas prairie in
Camas and Gilmore Counties, as well
as investigation of the possibilities of
artesian or ground water for munich
pal supply at Moscow, Idaho Falls, and
Pocatello At present he is engaged
in writing report on the geology and
ore deposits of the Silver City area in
Owyhee. He will complete the manu-
script before leaving Moscow.
I'VE are naturally exceedingly sorry
to lose Mr.. Piper, who has been a
most valuable member of our staff, !"
Doctor Thomson said in making the
announcement. He, of course, leaves
with our best wishes and with our
fill confidence in his future success"
In a letter to DR.. Thomson, O. o..
Meinzer, chief of the ground water d.
vision, commented: Eve are loath to
take from your organization a man
who I know has been as valuable as
Mr.. Piper Nevertheless 1t Is my duty
to offer the position to the man on the
civil service register with the highest
rank on that list in ground water hy-
drology."
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1926-07-30

judging from the nature of the coun-
try and the signs upon the hill tops,
that this was at one time a tropical
cline, and that our fossil trees grew
and fourished beneath a tropical sun.
That they were upon an elevated
lateau and that a great river flowed
near by is evidenced by the yet re-
naming banks of gravel standing
high up on the hillsides, solid as con-
crete, cemented as one stone by the
same calcareous deposit that fossil
lied the timber adjacent. BY the
changing of the water courses the
plateau became the bottom of a lake
and the trees, deep down in the water
were preserved from decay. When
the great conclusion occurred, occas-
toned by the pent up fires in the
mountain ranges to the south, and
through the destruction of which the
lava beds were created, the whole
face of the country underwent a
change. Rivers ran wild and lakes
ran dry; and the petrified trees have
since appeared upon the surface by
the gradual washing and wearing
away of the hills. They have all the
appearance of having been embedded
in sand and mud and by this means
they have been preserved and in time
passed into the state as seen today.
"But it certainly is field of more
than ordinary interest and well worth
the attention of those who can read
sermons in stones, and admire the.
works of His wonderful hand"

Idaho Bean Seed
Scores in Florida

Idaho grown seed scored decisive
victory in tests conducted in various
parts of Florida this spring. accord
ing to a letter just received at Mos
COW by DR.. c. w. Hungerford, plant
pathologist, from M. R. Ensign, path
Observation-Disclosures of the Florida ag-
ricultural experiment station.
The letter refers to the performance
of bean seed sent to the Florida sta
ton this spring at Mr.. Ensign's re-
quest by R. E. Brossard, county agri-
cultural agent of Twin Falls county
Mr.. Ensign had not completed the
standardization of results, but he says:
con the whole, / can say now that
the seed from Idaho is the best of
any that we. had from any source,
and we had some California and
Colorado seed, besides that which we
secured from your state. Not only
were the plants from your seed green
er and more thrifty but they were
better producers.
There has been very little evidence
of the diseases which we were anxious
to get rid of, namely, Anthrocnose
and bacterial blight. In one or two
intances l discovered few plants
here and there where the Anthrac-
nose was quite prevalent on the
leaves, and only in one instance am
I certain that we had bacterial blight.
This was on some Colorado seed.
"On the WHOLE" Mr.. Ensign con-
cludes, "the western-grown seed, es-
pecially the Idaho stuff, has shown at
least SO per cent better production
than the seed coming through the
regular channels of trade, and am
very much heartened with the pros
poets of developing source Of seed
in the western states that will prove
invaluable to us in Florida"

1tfcr notablcs.
Hundreds of soldiers, sailors and
marines, mounted and afoot, with Gals
sons of artillery, which were used on
the battlehelds of France, wildly
brought to mind the men who nine
years ago marched through the streets
of the cities throughout the nation for
the World War training camps.
1t was into this setting that the
Memorial Day parade, consisting of
the veterans of three of the nations
wars, swung early in the morning and
stood at attention during the ceremo-
MES.
In his address, Secretary Wilbur
said, in part:
"The monument dedicated today is
intended to express, as nearly as it can
be done in bronze and stone, our sense
of obligation to the soldiers and sailors
of the United States, not only in the
World War, but in all our previous
wars. This monument is a message
to our children and also to those who
come to us from other lands, admon-
ishing them that the liberties, the Sc
curity and the prosperity they enjoy,
though it may be free to them, has
cost a great price and is also worthy

Aside from the 21,3O0 fatalities and
the $4,000 non-fatal injuries caused
by motor accidents during 1925, ply
steal property damage is said to have
totaled in excess of $2,000,O00. Not
the least impressive thing revealed
by the study of the various causes for
these figures is the singular fact that
only small fraction of the automo-
biles involved in accidents were non
skid chain equipped. For the careful
motorist this can mean only one
thing, viz; chains are an absolute
necessity.
Assuming for the sake of estima-
ton that the property damage was
entirely restricted to the cars them
selves, and that the average value Of
the automobiles was $3.50, 1t is found
that nearly 2,700 automobiles were
totally demolished last year due to
accidents. To have equipped those

silk Shipments

According to advices published by
the Federation of British Industries
received by the, Bankers Trust Com
pany, Frances exports of silk are in
creasing steadily in spite of new GUS
toms duties on silk imported to Eng
land. Although French exports to the
United Kingdom show a decrease Of
255, 900 kilogrammes for the first quar-
ter of this year as compared with the
same period in 1925, this reduction
has amply been compensated by ex-
ports to other foreign countries espe-
cially to Holland, Belgium, the United
States, Argentina, Japan, Switzerland,
Canada and French colonies.
