LEWISTON, Idaho, Dec JL (Spe
cial.) Wallace R. Struble, who has
been secretary of the Lewiaton Com
mercial Club and the Idaho-Washington
Development League for two years
left last night for Portland. Mr. Struble
will continue as a nominal official of
ths Lewiston Commercial Club and
the Idaho-Washington Development
Leaarue. with a leave of absence to
take up actively the work of promoting
the fifth annual convention of the Co
lumbia and Snake River Waterways
Association convention which will be
held in Portland. April IS and 14. .
In speaking of his work In Lewiston
during the past two yeara Mr. Struble
' said: "I regard the aggregate of work
accomplished by the united efforts of
the citliens of Lewiston through their
publicity organisations during the past
two years as nothing short of mar
velous. Take any one of the large en
terorises brought to successful frui
tion, during that period and it would
be regarded as ample Justification for
all the money and effort put forth.
Among these enterprises may be men
tioned the establishment at Lewiston
.of the Northwest Livestock Show, with
its own capacious and ideal grounds
prepared by bond issue of the city.
"Then there is the construction of a
J 40.000 steel bridge across the Clear
water River, provided also by bond
issue by the citliens of Lewiston. and
the purchase Jointly by the states of
Washington and Idaho of the Lewlston
C'larkston bridge.
-Again there is the encouragement
which haa been given for the Nes Perce
s Idaho Railroad from Vollmer to
Lewiston. In the granting of terminal
facilities at Lewiston, and the con
tribution ofimoney in support of the
enterprise. '"Next In order and not
less In Importance are the plans for
construction of highways through Lew
iston and Clarkston. which when com
pleted will articulate with the state
highway systems of Washington and
Idaho. , .
-One of the most strenuous periods
of my administration during the past
two years," said Mr. Struble with em
phasis, "was that during which every
resource available was made use of to
secure from the 62d Congress the In
crease In the rivers and harbors ap
propriation necessary to complete the
Celtlo Canal In 1915."
BY-PRODUCTS BIG PROBLEM
Growers Warned Against Too Hastj
Investments, Bays Keport.
WALLA. WALLA. Wash.. Dec
(Special.) A thorough investigation of
the by-product question in the North
west is to be made by members of
the by-products committee appointed at
the Spokane Apple Show, which met
here during the State Horticultural As
sociation, according to the report made
public today, and the results of the
Investigations are to xbe made known
at North Yakima at another meeting
Starch 1.
The committee unanimously agreed
that since only 10 per cent of all the
by-producta plants In the four North
western statea have been successful
and since already the growers of
these states have lost probably more
than $250,000 In unwise investments in
such plants, therefore growers should
be warned against too hasty Invest
ments. The committee agreed that
present lnvestmnt of more than 00.
000 000 has been spent In the fruit in
dustry and that per cent Is waste.
As a result further Investigation was
recommended. .

Is not apparent at the - present time.
The question of calling a special ses
slon has been seriously considered by
me. and It is no doubt true that there
are certain matters of large business
importance which might profitably be
acted upon by the Legislature at the
present time.
"I discovered there are at the pres
ent time three, if not four, vacancies
In the membership of the Legislature.
The expense of holding special elec
tions would naturally be great In at
least the counties of Lemhi. Latah and
Shoshone, atid would impose a burden
upon the people not Interested in a
special session. The people of the state
are opposed to special sessions. ten-
eaal sentiment throughout the state Is
opposed to it. It is probable that I
would have caned a special session,
however, in response to the urgent de
mand from North Idaho, if special elec
tions had not been necessary."
