III Vic CACCUVASO wa
Board Of Regents held at Moscow
on the 18th inst, grounds were Sc
lected for the University site, farm,
etc. Under the Act Of the legisia-
ture providing for the University
the board was restricted in its pur-
chase to not more than twenty
acres. nor less than ten. In max
ing the purchase the committee Sc
lected the maximum number OF ~
acres. The grounds selected lie in
one body on an elevated plateau
south of town overlooking the town
and surrounding country east and
west. A more eligible location and
one more susceptible Of improve
ment and urnamentation could not
be found in all that vicinity. With
such buildings as are contemplated
and when beautified with trees,
shrubbery and flowers it must be-
come one of the most attractive
spots in Idaho. Moscow has many
advantages for an institution Of
learning of this kind. Accessible
by two railroads as it will soon be,
surrounded by magnificent farm
ing and fruit growing district, with
excellent water, salubrious cline,
comparatively mild winters, and
with people intelligent, refined,
enterprising and church going, it
can Justly claim that the legislature
made no mistake in locating the
University there, and the people of
the territory can feel assured that
no other place offers better advan-
tages for the training of their sons
and daughters in such branches as
are contemplated under the laws,
national and territorial, governing
such universities.-One of the
bravest and most self-sacri6cing
little women in all the west is Mrs.
John L. Logan, wife of Judge Lo-
gan, of the First Judicial District
of Idaho. Withdrawing from the
society of friends and city life and
leaving home of luxury in New
York she followed her husband to
the far west, and is constant COM
panion at his side save when he is
in the court room. Like the beau
tiful Ruth of biblical fame she seems
to have said to her husband-"En-
treat me not to leave thee, or to re-
turn from following after thee; for
whittier thou goest will go; and
where thou lodgest, will lodge
thy people shall be my people, and
thy God my God; where thou diest
will l die and there will be buried
the Lord do so to me, and more
also, if aught but death part thee
and me-" Judge Logan is in feeble
health, and whether on the train
in the stage coach, in the hotel OF
in camp, she is constantly at his
side ana seems to anticipate anc
tenderly care for his every want
Noble woman, it is no wonder tha
) all, even the untutored miners il
the camps of the Ceur d'Alenes
should raise their hats in honor
when they meet her.
