Senator Weller in q Letter 70 the Free
Press Defines His Position ON
the Agricultural College.

BOISE CITY, Idaho, Dec. %, 40.
EDITOR FREE PREss:-From private
advices just received. I am informed
that report is current on the Prairie
to the effect that in order to secure my
nomination had pledged my support
to the people of Mes Perce county for
the location Of the Agricultural College
at Lewiston. For the purpose Of cor.
recting any false and erroneous reports
concerning my position on this matter,
herewith submit the following expla-
nation Of facts, feeling confident that
my friends in Idaho codhty will accord
to ME fair and just verdict.
The question Of the location Of tho
Agricultural College was not mentioned
in connection with my candidacy for
joint senator. It was some time before
any convention was held that Nes
Perce county conceded to Idaho county
the nominee for joint senator. The
nomination was urged upon me by my
friends, against my protests and ex-
pressed wishes, and was reluctantly &C.
cepted without pledges of any kind ON
my part. Immediately upon my nom-
ination at the State convention was
approached and written to by many
representative citizens Of Nez Perce
county soliciting my support for the To-
cation of the Agricultural College at
Lewiston. It was made one Of the
principal issues In Nez Perce county
during the campaign, aud the result
was largely attributable to the effort.
Of the friends Of the movement there.
1t was not until the article, suggesting
the location Of the College in Idaho
county, appeared In an issue Of tho
Free Press, some six weeks or moro al.
ter the election that our people made
any effort In that direction;1just thrss
months after Nez Perce county had
taken initial steps in the premises.
In view Of the fact that but few, II
any, Of your readers at home, are awazv
that this state Of affairs existed, It y
quite natural that Idaho county ex-
poets the support Of her resident repre-.
sentatives in this as well a. all matters
Of local interest. Although my resl.
dence, my every interest, lies In your
midst, which alone would suggest itsslf
to you all, that your county should ~
ceive my first and undivided support,
yet If you will carefully consider the
foregoing statement Of facts, coupled
with the. one that I am representing
both counties, and my desire being to
do justice to each, you cannot conclude
otherwise than that cannot conscien.
tiously support a bill locating the Agrl-
cultural College as against Nes Percs
county. Very Respectfully,
]. q. WNLx1.

NOLUNE Is.
Prize Contest.

ARRANGEMENTS have been perfected to
hold at the close of each school month
a mathematical contest, in which pu-
nils from any school in the county shall
contest for prize. The teachers of the
county realize that something should
be done to awaken and quicken intel
lectual thought and interest among
their pupils. To answer such an end
this plan was suggested. 1t owes its
inception to w. 8. Van Voris and is
being carried forward by his energy.
The prizes will be presented by the en-
terprising and popular firm of Dent &
Butler, and will be known as the Dent
4 Butler mathematical prize. At the
close Of each month pupils from the
various schools of the cou nty will meet
at some designated place and write up
on q set of problems furnished by q
committee selected for that purpose.
The prize will go to the pupil present.
ing the best papers each month. At
the close of the year all holders of the
prize are to meet and contest for per-
manent possession. There will be two
grades of work, one embracing the en-
tire subject of arithmetic as taught in
our text books, the other reaching only
as far in that subject as Involution and
Evolution. The first contest will take
place at the Upper Tammany school
house, Friday evening, Jan. 80, COM
mencing at p. m. and continuing two
hours. The schools of the county
should all be represented and the con-
test sharp and close.

The Knights Of Pythias ball that was
to have been given February leth, will
occur at some earlier date. It was found
that the date chosen would fall within
the season Of Lent and thus deprive
many from the pleasure Of attending.
The exact date has not yet been deter
mined upon, but 1t will probably be
just before Lent begins. Every prepa-
ration IL being put forth to make this
the great society event Of the season.
Fine music win be furnished, an ele-
giant supper prepared and the whole A.
fair made complete and thoroughly
enjoyable occasion.
