UNIVERSITY IN
NEED OF HELP
Board Of Regents to Ask
Legislature for
$225,OoO

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 14.--Hon. George
c. Parkinson, who is the head of the
board Of regents of the state univer-
sity, gives some interesting facts con-
corning the institution, which is the
pride of Idaho
After the disastrous fire which de-
stroyed the administration building
last winter, insurance was collected
amounting to approximately $105, 900.
OF this sum, about $4,000 has been
expended in rebuilding the founda-
tions for the structure.
Part of the balance has been ex-
pended in other necessary building
building and some other necessary ex-
proof features costing about $4,000
available for university use.
This it is plarend to expend in re-
fitting the new main building, for ap-
paratus, library and other uses.
Board to Ask for $225,00O.
The new building will cost consider
ably more than the old. 1t is made
strictly freprcof of reinforced con-
crete and steel construction, the fire.
An especial effort will be made to
more than if it had been built in the
usual manner.
The board of regents will ask for
almost 1925, 900 for the completion of
the building. besides what has already
been spent for it's foundations and the
$4,000 of insurance money for fur
nishing and apparatus.
This will bring the total cost of the
one building to approximately $780,
008. 1t will, however be one Of the
most modern, commodious and safe
university buildings in the whole
West.
Mr.. Parkinson calls particular at
tention to the fact that theN building
being strictly fireproof. will be as safe
home for the great museum it is
hoped to build mp in Idaho.
Starting New Museum.
The fine museum which had been
gathered during the past years was
entirely destroyed, and the state starts
out without an exhibit of any kind.
An esepcial effort will be made to
. secure contributions for the museum
either by gifts or by loan. The uni
versity will be able to guarantee per-
feet safety to all exhibits.
Mr.. Parkinson, or any member of
the board of regents, will gladly re-
ceive contributions from any patriotic
Idahoan who will give or loan any
thing of value for the nucleus of the
new museum
The board of regents will meet in
Boise on January Il, to present the
university needs to the legislature.

DID NOT EXCEED
HIS AUTHORITY
So Roosevelt Declares in
Message on Colored
Troop Matter

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 14.-The
president today sent to the senate a
message regarding the Brownville riot
matter, which gives the actual evil
dence compiled by Assistant Attorney
| General Purdy and Major Blocksom,
who were sent to Texas by the presi-
| dent to investigate the affair.
The president submitted with his
message various exhibits, including
maps, bandoleer, three empty shells,
seven ball cartridges picked up in the
streets four hours after the shooting,
three steel jacket bullets and some
scraps which had been fired.
The president says the evidence is
positive that the outrages of August
13, 1906, were committed by some Of
the colored troops that have been dis
missed. and that some or all of the
members of the three companies of the
"SiitS hAtii Ildu hHOWlcuSe
of the deed. and shielded the guilty
ones.
Called "Midnisht Assassins."
The negro troops are referred to by
the president in his message as mid
night assassins," and he declares that
very few If any of the soldiers dis
missed without honor" could have
geen ignorant of what occurred.
That part of the order which bars
the soldiers from all civil employment
under the government, is revoked by
the president. This clause was lack
ing in validity. The discharged troops
| will be forever debarred from entering
| in the army or navy, and as to this
the president says:
There is no doubt of my constitu-
| tional and legal power"
Secretary Taft's report gives the
I'sworn testimony Of witnesses. and is
transmitted with the message.

Opens Rich Mining Country.

The district reached by this road
is very large in extent and is heavily
mineralized by two or three parallel
veins or dykes, and a multitude of
cross veins radiating from these VEINS
The minerals of this region are num-
erous, including iron silver. gold,
lead and copper, besides several other
rarer minerals.
THE day is not far distant when
this section of the state will un-
doubtedly be one of the chief factors
in placing Idaho among the leading
mineral producing states of the
Union
The second road IS known as the
Kooskia road, of which the report
says:
'The Kooskia road lies along the
north bank of the Middle Fork of the
Clearwater river in Idaho county and
consists of two sections OF heavy
work, one section being / 60 feet long
In slide rock and FIJI, Nd the other
section being 1850 feet long in rock
| work, slide rock and fifl.
These two sections of heavy road
enabled the settlers and mining men
to build good road on nearly a wa
| ter grade up the bank of the river for
| distance of about rs miles, and
serves group of very promising look
ing prospects located there.
F. p. Turner Was Engineer.
! The road was contracted to E. B.
Meeker August 30, 1905, for 1926: the
cost of engineering and advertising
was $6500, making the total cost of
the road 1890. OF this amount the
state paid $4,000. and the donations
received paid $500.
Mr.. f. P. Turner of Lorena was
the engineer in charge of the road.

Patrick Knew Rice.

The first and foremost of the many
lies that have been req tied until the
pubic believes them - have some
foundation is the lie that Mr. Rice did
not know Albert T. Patrick by sight
and had never met him. This Is the
keystone OF the whole fabric OF mis-
representation And vhat are the real
facJs2 Why, that Mr.. Rice and Mr..
Patrick were both Texans; that Mr..
Patrlck's father was for thirty years
general freight agent for Mr.. Rice's
railroad and on intimate terms with
him. that when he was pensiCned Tor
life for faithful services his son, Albert
T. pdtrIck's oldest brother, succeeded

Mr. Rice at the age OF twelve or thir-
teen upon an occasion when the mill

him 20 the hotel by orders Of his father.

Patrick Feels Tricked.

Il may say, IN conclusion, that Mr..
Patrick has never accepted the substitu-
ton OF life imprisonment for the death
sentence pronounced upon him. One is
as horrible and unjust as the other. He
feels. as 1 do also. that he was tricked
into Withdrawing mis- appeal from the
United States Supreme Court on the
promise of a pardon He knew the dan
ger Of Withdrawing his appeal. and the
fact that such condition was unneces-
sary. and had never been made q condl-
ton for pardon before. lie now holds
that the substitution Of one form of
punishment for another. against his pro-
test, is an invasion of his rights under
the Constitution OF the United States
and he is now contemplating the obtain
ing of a writ OF habeas corpus as
legal remedy. II was a pardon which
he was reluctantly and against his bet

ON THE DECLINE

The public evidently believe in the

of securing them at the best price pos
sible. That is probably the reason why
the main feature in the trading on the
Washington Stock Exchange for the
past few days has centered around that
particular security. II also furnishes
a good reason why daily the prIce aver
ages are gaining each day a fraction
