The Jason Lee academy at Weiser
which has been conducted under the
influence of the Idaho conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal church dur
ing the past year, was discontinued
and the church ceases to be respon-
sible for the institution, in accordance
with the unanimous action OF the
conference on the report of the COM
mission, recommending such action,
at the fourth days meeting of the
twenty-fourth session this morning.
The question was referred to the
commission of the conference and fiVe
members of the electoral lay confer
ence at the meeting yesterday morn
ing following the report or the IL
nancial standing of the institution,
showing that debts aggregating $25oo
had been contracted and that there
was a lack of unanimity during the
year that the school has been under

Joe Lawless didn't think his article
last week on the railroad pass" had
been given the proper amount of pub
licity or else someone requested"
the republication thereof. We frank
ly admit that we published it to give
it circulation. Joe is good editorial
writer all right, but we don't find it
convenient to publish everything he
says merely to give them circulation
land wide publicity.

FRIDAY. JANUARY IS. 1907.
EDnoRs WILL GET TOGETHER.

Upon the desk is circular calling
us and all our associates who have
the price of railroad ticket and a
nights lodging to Denver on the 18th
inst. at which time many PROPOSE
tions having an important bearing on
the interests of the craft are to be
taken up and warmly discussed.
There is one thing that is of greater
interest than merely to the craft"
and that is railroad legislation. The
newspaper men of the state are al
most a unit on the matter of making
the maximum passenger fare &c per
mile and it is quite likely that this
topic will receive more consideration
than any one other thing, as the pen
cii-pushers will undoubtedly send a
committee before the legislature to
work for that end. as we'll as using
their own publications to further the
same.
Many of the best laws ever pur up.
on the statute books of this great
commonwealth are those that the ed
itors lobbied for. Not only do these
rebound to the benefit OF themselves,
but in most cases they have saved
to the public more than the cost of
their enforcement and payment of
the printers fees. When such men
as Ex-president Holmes of the Glen
wood Avalanche start after anything
they stick until the last day of the bi-
ennial session if need be.

Jewish synagog to forthwith elect ST.

UNDER ARREST
Railroad Magnate Broke Rules at
Yale Harvard Boat Race.
he MAY BE FINED $500

New London, Conn, June 2S.-YaIe's
Varsity crew won a hard-rowed race
against Harvard on the Thames river
by not much more than length. The
race apparently was won in the last
half mile, in which the better form of
the Blue on perfectly calm water prov
ed a more powerful factor than the
brawn in the Harvard boat 1t was a
grand race, rowed very fast for half
the distance, when both crews began
to slow up from the effects of their
eXertions. The time for the four miles
was: Yale, 1858; Harvard, 23.551a.
The race was accompanied by one
disa agreeable incident This was the
arrest of f. H. Hartman, the railroad
magnate, by Lieutenant Billiard, Presi-
dent Roosevelt's naval aid. Lieuten-
ant Billiard, who was in charge of the
revenue cutters. had warned every
boat owner not to follow the race.
The big Varsity struggle had scarcely
been started when Mr. Hartman, in a
powerful motor boat, started to follow
the race. Lieutenant Billiard and
Chairman Schweppe, who were aboard
the regatta committee boat, the AR
row." repeatedly warned Mr.. Harri-
man to stop his engine and get out Of
the course Mr.. Hartman not only
poid no attention to them but took a
position right alongside of the referees
boat and held it. on the navy yard
Lieutenant Billiard signalled for a
launch and footed the revenue cutter
whistle, which finally caused Mr.. Har-
riman to look around.
you are under arrest, sir" shouted
Lieutenant Billiard. You will give
yourself up to this man, who will take
you aboard the Gresham to await
orders"
Then it was discovered that the man
in the powerful and speedy motor boat
was Mr.. Hartman. Chairman Schwep
pc, of the regatta committee. was very
angry and he shouted to Mr. Harri-
man. in terms which the latter could
not mistake. The millionaire leveled
his forefnger at Chairman Schweppe
and yelled back: Young man, 1 will
see you later"
Schweppe's friends aboard the Ar.
row" gave Mr.. Hartman a gentle
laugh Mr.. Hartman saw no more o.
the race. but was detained as an ordi
nary prisoner aboard the Gresham I'm
til after the race was over, when Lieu
tenant Billiard went aboard the Gresh
am and released Mr.. Hartman. but oI
dered his boat tied up at the nav.
yard. The incident may cost Mr.. Har
riman a fine OF $780, This was tn
penalty imposed on yacht owner a
last years race for transgressing tn
rules governing the course.

How He Rroke Into literature.

Frederic Harrison was Il close friend
of George Eliot, and she often asked
his advice in regard to points of law
that came up in the course of her stO-
rieS SIZE particularly needed legal ad
vice in Il vital part of Felix Holt"
for, conscientious worker as she was
and as all really great artists are, she
was not o0n.2nt to make Il guess.
Mr.. HARRISON listened as gravely to
the presentation of her problem as if it
concerned real individuals. The next
dag he sent her carefully and CON
ciS",y worded opinion. which she used
in her 1o2E iust as he wrote it. In the
story it is a5cribed to 1.-The attoYney
general" and is referred to as final
authOritT:" 1t is the part printed in
Italics in chapter thirty-five
Mr. Harri; - was both surprised and
pleased to SEQ his own words used He
expected that the novelist would wish
to express his legal opinion in her own
language. ''ThankS to George Eliot,
he said, with Il smile II have written
something chat will live forever in
