MEETING HELD FOR M|N|DOKA TRACK
WHERE JACKRABBITS FORMERLY
RANGED NEW TOWNS ARE
SPRINGING UP IN IDAHO.

BOISE CITY, Feb. 14-D. w. Ross,
supervising engineer of the reclama
ton service, has returned from a high
ly interesting visit to the towns on the
Minidoka tract. He attended and ad-
dressed meetings at Hepburn, Burley,
Scherer and Rupert. All were largely
attended and great interest was
shown
The purpose of these meetings was
to elect three men from each locality
to become members of a central COM
mittee of II which will be a general
organization committee. 1t will ap-
point several committees to look after
matters in which it is desirable that
the settlers and the reclamation SER
vice work together. Eventually a
water users association will be devel-
deal in connection with matters affect
ing the future control and manage
ment of the canals.
Mr.. Ross says the meetings were in
tensely interesting to him. One reason
for this was the fact that year
ago there was nothing but jackrabbits
where those towns stand, and it was a
constant source of establishment to
him as he looked over large audiences
to reflect upon the change that had
keen, practical interest SHOWN by the
people in the matters presented was

FOOTBALL BAD As BULL FIGHTING
PROFESSOR OF UNIVERSITY OF

TO GRIDIRON FRIENDS.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. 14.-Dean
Henry, professor of the agricultural
college of the University of Wiscon-

rife scoring. He was discussing the
remarks on the subject made by Presi-
dent Eliot of Harvard.
president Eliot is right in what he
said about football" said Professor
Henry 1T certainly is as bad as bull
fighting in it's effects on morals, and
should be done away with. 1 have
studied the subject thoroughly. I have
played football at Cornell for exercise
and sport, but it was different game
from what is now played.
Prize fighting, bullfghting, and
football are all in the same class as to
their effects on the public. The root of
the evil is money"

fothers home on Waha and was en-
gagged in hauling lumber for one of
the irrigation companies. He left Sat

MUCH INTEREST MANIFEST BY OFFICERS
ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL NOW
BEFORE CONGRESS OF MUCH
INTEREST TO THEM.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 14.-The
higher officers of the United States
army are waiting with considerable in
terest for the decision of congress in
regard to the clause inserted in the
army appropriation bill, which reads:
provided, further, that when the affice
of lieutenant general shall become va
cant, it shall not thereafter be filled
but said office shall cease and deter
mine.''
That sucn a change was intended
was more or less expected by army
officers on account of the detail at the
urgent request of Secretary Taft, of
Brigadier General J. Franklin Bell as
chief of staff of the army The effect
Of this assignment to duty in Wash
ington of an officer to whom there

tenant general away from Washington

pected that General McArthur's ap-
pointment as a lieutenant general and
General Bells detail to duty as chief
of staff would bring about the condi-
of the house military committee to
abolish the office of lieutenant general

MENTAL REACTION,

The Minds Quickness of Operation
and How 1t Is Measured.
Let dozen or twenty persons take
hold of hands in a ring. Each is to
press the hand of his right hand neigh
Dor as soon as he receives pressure
from the left. One person starts the
pressure going and at the same instant
observes the position Of the second
hand of a watch. The pressure passes
all around the circle, and when it ar
fives at the originator he notes how
many seconds were required for the
given number Of persons in succession
to receive an impression and make up
their minds to act in response The
total time is then divided by the num-
Der of persons. This Is a crude Illus
tration Of the reaction time which we
measure with great accuracy on single
persons.
AS the mental portion of the reaction
time becomes more complicated the
time becomes longer. For example,
the processes of mental discrimination
and choice require times of their own.
The way we get these higher" mental
processes can be illustrated in a sim
pie way. A person placed in a quiet
room is to tap a telegraph key every
time he sees a red light. which can be
produced at the will Of the expert
menter in the recording room. The in
terval of time between the actual ap-
pearance of the light and the moment
the key is tapped is accurately meas
ured. For awhile nothing but the red
light is used, this to obtain the simple
reaction time Then red and yellow
lights are turned on in irregular sue
cession. The person has now to dis
criminate between two colOrS and to
choose between action and nonaction.
The increase Of time required over the
simple reaction time gives the dis
elimination time for two colOrs. In an
other set of experiments three colors are
used, then four colors. AS the discrim-
inatiOn and choice become more COM
plicated more time is required.
The Importance Of rapid and accurate
reaction and discrimination is evident.
Astronomers have difficulty In record
ing the moment at which star passes
a line in the telescope The sports
man must pull the trigger at just the
proper moment. The football player,
the fencer and the boxer are trained
in rapidity of discrimination and reac-
ton. 1t is very evident that a player
or a pugilist who takes a long time
for discrimination choice and vOlitiOn
will give a decided advantage to a
quick opponent.-Forum.

City Council Creates New Local
Improvement Districts.
FOUR ORDINANCES PASSED LAST NIGHT
BIDS WILL BE RECEIVED FOR
NO OTHER MATERIAL.

The city council at its adjourned
session last night took another step to-
tricts, when four ordinances We're pass
ed creating local improvement dis
tricts No. 20, No. 81, No. % and No.
30. The material to be used will be
Warren's bitulithic Or asphalt.
Councilman Glasford tried to have
all other kinds of paving material
eliminated except bitulithic, but was
unsuccessful, the majority of the coun-
cilmen being in favor of receiving bids
on asphalt as we'll. The ordinance as
originally prepared called for bitulithic,
asphalt or vitrifed brick. After the
first ordinance had been read the sec
ond time and was about to go to its
third reading, Glasford moved that all
reference to any kind of material ex-
cept bitulithic be stricken out. In ad-
vocating the motion he said that the
people desired no other paving than BIZ
tulithic, and it was useless for the
council to ask for bids on any other
material.
Mayor Hunt took issue whit Glas-
ford and advised the council to pass an
ordinance that would permit of COM
petitive bids, which he believed would
save the council trouble in the future.
The other members of the council took
the same view as the mayor and then
Glasford agreed to let the word "as-
phalt'' remain in the ordinance, pro-

supplements. II has started the Gibson
collection fad, and this promises to last
until the last OF the pictures are out.

made so easily obtainable.
The picture which The North American
