Emancipation for the Mule.

Booker T. Washington insists that the
negro is not ungrateful, and, although the
younger generation may like to lose sight
of the fact that their grandmothers and
grandfathers were slaves, those grand
mothers and grandfathers themselves do
not forget it. In illustrating this he tells
the story of an old colored man who saw
the old street cars being replaced by cars
driven by electricity, and exclaimed: DE

More Land Needed.

FOR nearly half century the Uni
yersity of Kansas has occupied a pro-
lection on the bluffs bordering the
Kansas river valley, known as Mount
Dread. This site of the university has
been commented upon possibly by more
people at home and elsewhere than has
the campus of any other university in
the world. A magnificent view meets
the eye of the visitor after hard climb
to the summit of the bluff, of from 10
to 80 miles in all directions. Lawrence
is noted for her trees, and in the sum-
mer when nature is doing her best to
put on finest apparel, the city at the
foot of the hill gives the appearance Of
a vast forest, while beyond, stretching
for miles and miles, lies the richest
agricultural lands in the world, the
river winding down the valley among
the groves marking the location of the
farm houses, all creating in the mind
| of the observer an impression of peace
fulness and beauty never to be forgot
ten. On this bluff are some SO acres
comprising the campus, ample room
in years past for the university build
ings. Slowly, through the appropria-
tons sparingly made by the various
legislatures anu the munluC0nc6 Oh pfl-
vate gifts, the university buildings have
increased in number until now there
are nine commodious buildings devoted
to the purposes Of instruction, besides
the heating plant and the chancellor's
residence. So numerous have they be-
come that the regents at last find it
necessary to secure more land on which
to erect the building already provided
for and the others which the growing
needs Of the university demand at the
earliest possible date. Only two pos
sible directions present themselves for
the extension of the campus with out
going off the bluff to the north or west.
If the ground now occupied by the
stand tower of the water company can
be secured, almost an unbroken line Of
buildings can be erected from Fraser
hall to North college. To the west
is broader plot of ground, but not
lying SO conveniently for the univer-
sity. The regents are now taking
steps to secure options on this land in
the hope that the next legislature will
recognize the real needs of the univer-
sity and make the necessary appropri-
atoms for the same.

BIDS FOR CARNEGIE LIBRARY
Three Boise Contractors Submit Pro
posals to Board

BOISE, July 13.-The bids for the
proposed Carnegie library building
were opened by the board yesterday
afternoon. but no action was taken. It
will require another meeting Of the
board to figure over the bids and de-
termine which Ii the best.
There were three bids, all by local
contractors. They were by Michael &
Weber, J. ". Walker and William
Houtx. The lowest direct bid was by
Michael Z Weber, but the board thinks
perhaps some one Of the several propo-
sition submitted by Mr.. Walker may
prove cheaper than the bid of the other
nrm.
All of the bids. which do not vary
much In amount, are somewhat higher
than had been expected by the board
running about $4,000. Each was ac-
cOmpanied by certified check as al,
evidence OF good faith.
