Albion State Normal.

The State Normal School in Albion
is steadily growing in popular favor, as
is indicated by the comparative statis-
tics.
Enrolment for the first term, rs is
shown by the records since the orssni-
zation OF the school is AS follows: In
1894, "A pupils; 1895. IS pupils; 1896, IS
pupils; 1897, 81 pupils; 1898, 100 pupils

Sometimes 1t Is intimated that this is

grows less true with each succeeding
year as the following statistics win in
dictate:
Enrolment outside OF Cassia county

1899, 80. -----,-,-.--
During our present term which began
January 3ist, our enrolment in and
out Of Cassia county and from other
states, is larger than ever before, there
being now 100 pupils enrolled. 1t is
also sometimes enormously stated that
this is . school Of somewhat elementary
grades. something like the academies
and other private schools; but the in
correctness Of this statement is indica-
ted BY the fact that our pupils range 10
age from l5years, the lowest legal limit,
to Is years. Our 100 pupils of the pres
ent year are classified as follows: Pre-
paratory department, 90; Normal de-
partment, Il. OF these, 10 belong to
the senior class and will receive life d.
plomas upon graduating next June;
six belong to the junior class and 10
June will receive certificates to teach
in any part OF Idaho for five years; q
belong TO the elementary class and will
receive next June certificate to teach
three years.
Students are admitted at any time,
for, with these five grades nearly every
one can find classes just where he
wishes to enter upon the study Of the
| various branches.

TRUST CONFERENCES.

c ONE time ago Governor Sayers of Texas issued
a call for convention OF Governors and At
- torneys General OF the States and Territories
to meet in St Louis September 20, to devise uni
form system OF laws for the regulation OF trusts A
little later the Civic Federation OF Chicago arranged
for conference on trusts to assemble in that city
September 49, and the Governors OF the States have
been requested to appoint delegates to attend it.
The two conferences will differ widely from one
another in the attitude they toward the subject
under consideration. That which meets in ST. Louis
has been called TO consider the effect which the for
nation of trusts having upon the country, and if
possible, to agree upon character OF legislation that
will not only force those now existing into dssolu-
ton, but will also prevent their further creation
The attitude Of such convention it will be seen is
one OF hostility to trusts and its main object to
devise for preventing their operation,
The Chicago conference, according to the call OF
the Civic Federation is ito discuss combinations and
trusts their uses and abuses embracing the subjects
of transportation, labor, industrial and commercial
combinations" The object OF this conference there
FORE purely educationa it will aim to present all
sides of the issue mpartiay and will consider upon
its merits every problem involved.
After the Chicago conference had been called the
committee OF arrangements discovered that while
there has been much discussion the subject there
has been very little reliable data brought forward
upon which base conclusions. To remedy that de-
feet the committee has issued blanks to upward OF
20 900 persons firms and corporations more or less
affected by trusts asking for replies questions per-
tnent to the controversy. By means of these replies
the committee expects be able to compile larger
fund OF information the subject of trusts and their
effects than has yet been furnished
OF the two conferences, that at Chicago promises
to be the more interesting A considerable number
of Governors and Attorneys General have accepted
the invitation to the St Louis meeting and it will
doubtless be well attended, but the results not
likely to be profitable. At the utmost IT can only
agree upon some declamatory resolutions denouncng
trusts more useful for stump speakers in the cam
paigns of the fall than for intelligent legislators seek
ing to devise laws for the good of their common
wealths.
From the Chicago conference on the other hand
there may be expected discussion of the subject
that will increase the public understanding of its prob
lens and thus prepare the way for such legislation

THE EAST AND THE WEST.

q CCORDlNG to report from Washington
| \ one OF the most serious obstacles in the way
OF procuring governmental aid for the 1rriga-
ton of arid districts of the West is the opposition OF
Eastern interests 1t is said many people in that sec
ton OF the Union regard the development of the West
as in measure prejudcia to Eastern farmers
inasmuch will tend to diminish the value OF tarn,
lands and the prices OF farm products.
A prominent leader OF one of the Eastern oranges
is quoted saying he could nothing in the way
OF results from irrigation under the supervision and
by the aid of the national Government but local
benefit to the West and that he did not think it right
for the people of the whole country to be taxed for
the purpose OF helping few sparsely settled arid
States
1t is Of course inevitable that some sectional oppo-
sition to the work OF irrigation should develop
1t is true that the Eastern States do need irrga-
ton and that if the national Government undertake
the work OF constructing great storage reservoirs
the Eastern as we'll the Western taxpayer will have
II, assist in defrayng the The ssue is therefore
sectional one, but it is not more than any other
wcrk OF internal improvement. When the interior OF
the country is taxed to provide for the inn
provement OF harbors the coast the residents OF
the coast cities can easily perceive the improvement
is for the general good, but when it is proposed 70
improve the interior OF the country some Atlantic
Coast people see nothing in it but movement for a
purely Western benefit.
Fortunately it is not likely that merely sectional
considerations will have much weight in determining
the action Of the Government issue of this kind
1t is that almost every river and harbor bill and
every bill providing for the construction OF post
Offices is made up largely by interchange OF favors
between the members OF Congress from the different
districts that are to be benefited but in measures
dealing with large matters there is very little sectional
ism displayed When a comprehensive irrigation
policy has been given definite form and comes up for
action the leaders of Congress- the directing states
men OF the nation, will not give much heed to OBJ
jections interposed sectional grounds.
The fact that some sectional opposition exists
ought however to arouse the people OF the West to
the importance OF making united effort to bring
the issue fairly before the nation and educate the
East upon the advantage which the whole people will
derive from the upbulding OF the semi-arld section
of the Union The problems OF irrigation the vast
scale required to redeem the arid and semi-arid
gions cannot be adequately dealt with by any power
less than that of the national Government and he is
but a narrow minded American who in such
redemption nothing but local benefit for the dis
tricts where the irrigation will be supplied
