vent Removal Dismissed.
lSpeclal COrrespondence)


Lewiston. Ida, Aug. 1S-Judge Steele
has dismissed the complaint of J. P
BIanton against the university regents
to restrain them from removing him as
president. The complaint cited that he
was under contract and had been re-
moved without notice or an investiga-
ton into any of the charges as to his
capacity for the position
The decision holds that the regents
were charged, under the enabling act,
with the duties of employing and clos
ing whenever, in their judgment. the
interests of the university required:
that this discretion could not be con-
tracted away and that it was not
necessary to hold an examination or
to prove what the interests of the uni
versity required, but only that, in the
Judgment of the regents, removal was
required. Therefore, Judge Steele
summoned up the contract sought to be
enforced to be, in effect as follows:
Resolved, That Joseph H. Blanton is
hereby employed as president of the
Idaho state university for three wears.
commencing Sept. l, 1898, and ending
Sept. l, 1901, at a salary of $4,000 per
annum; but the board of regents NAV

said period, if, in the interest of the
university, it is required that such re-
n1OVaI take place

fires continue to burn in the mountains
between Battle Lake and Grand En-

numerous mining camps and sheep

and water on the plains below, and il
is feared that many Of these herders

by the fires. The timber is as dry as

prevent the progress of the flames ex-
