lows Dedication.

Rev. w. J. Boone and J. T. Morrison
returned tho first of tho week from
Idaho Falls whore they had been at
tending the annual session of the Pres
bytery of Wood river. Tho work of tho
session was mostly routine, receiving
reports, etc., all showing that tho cause
in this presbytery is in good condition.
The different members expressed them
selves as highly gratified at the result
OF the first years work of the College
of Idaho, and unanimously accepted
and approved the securities of the $4,000
bonus and land given by the citizens Of
Caldwell for the location of the institu-
ton. The following persons were elect
cd trustees Of the college. Rev. R. p.
Boyd, Paris; Rev. w. J. Boone, Caldwell;
Rev. j. H. Barton, Boise City; Mr.. s.
s. Foote, Middleton; Mr.. J. M. Jones,
Nampa; Mr.. J. G. Straughan, Boise City;
Messrs. H. D. Blatchley, Frank Stsu-
nenberg, VIM. Kincaid, J. T. Morrison
and DR.. w. c. Maxey, Caldwell.
The work of raising other funds
for the completion of buildings and
equipment will be vigorously prose
cuted and all residents of Boise valley
and tho surrounding country will be
given an opportunity to subscribe aid
for an institution that means much in
an educational way. The secretary of
the college-aid board of the church will
be in Caldwell within the next six
weeks and will undoubtedly duplicate
on behalf of the board all sums that
will have been raised up to that time.
Plans for building that will accomo-
date 100 pupils are being prepared, al
well as buildings for boarding accom6
dations. This much is assured:
The school will 60 right ahead, and it
may not be amiss in this connection to
state that the course of study has re-
ceived the endorsement of several of
the famous institutions of tho country,
including the Leland Stanford univer-
sity of California. Rev. Boone and
Mr.. Morrison have been elected to
attend the general assembly at Port
land next month in the interest Of tho
prssbytery and the school.
Last Wednesday evening, as per call,
there was an enthusiastic meeting at
the Gymnasium, to take steps toward
organizing the Caldwell Base Ball Asso-
citation. After an enthusiastic meet
ing a committee was appointed to
solicit subscription for stock, and the
meeting adjourned to Thursday even
ing, at Reed & Dorman's office to per
feet organization. There was q good
attendance at the second meeting, no
one having lost any enthusiasm during
the day. The committee reported that
$1,000 had been subscribed in stock,
and more would be taken. 1t was
moved and carried that the Association
incorporate with capital stock of
$1,000. The following directors were
elected: s. NJ. Coffin, q. II. Reed, Chris
Fahy, 9. r. Shaw, ID. $. Brown, Fred
lioel, W. II. Sebree, W. II. Thorp
and John Steunenberg. 1t is probable
that &. j. Northrop will be elected
manager. The association will lease
and fence grounds, erect grand stands,
etc, and tit up base ball park in good
shape. Letters have been received
from Baker City asking Caldwell to go
INTO an amateur league with that place,
Pendleton and Boise City. Tho associ-
ton then adopted Yale gray with
maroon trimmings as the club uniform,
when the meeting adjourned to meet
after incorporation papers were filed,
to elect officers and attend to other
details.
Thirty-tive persons, most of them
belonging to the fraternity, went down
to Payette last Tuesday to witness the
dedication of the now Odd Fellow Hall
ut that place, and enjoy the pleasures
