REV, HILTON BACK
FROM BOISE MEETING
Was Delegate to COnference-Boise
People Retiscent on Haywood
Murder Case.

Yes, l had an enjoyable, inter-
esting trip said Rev. T. A. Hilton of
st. Luke's church when seen by
World representative this morning.
Rev. Hilton returned this week
from a conference of the Seventh
Episcopal Missionary district, lately
in convention at Boise. Speaking Of
this large gathering, the. reverend
gentleman said:
I'VE transacted lot of business of
interest to the church. Six bishops
were present, and about 35 of the
clergy. DR.. Brown, prominent
Episcopal missionary in the state of
Rio Grande del Sol, Brazil. was pres
ent, and made an interesting speech.
Bishop Tuttle, for more than for
ty years active in the service of the
Episcopal church in the west, was al
SO in attendance. During the course
of the conference corner stone was
laid to a building in commemoration
of the lifelong and faithful service of
the aged Bishop Tuttle. The Grand
Lodge of Masons were present, many
of whom have been friends of Bishop
Tuttle for more than a quarter of ?
century,"
Haywood Case Excitement Unap-
parent.
''Is Boise much excited over the
trial of the miners representatives,
who are accused of murder?" was
asked.
NO." said Rev. Hilton. Zone
would hardly know from the quiet of
the town, and the retisence of the
people, that so great a murder trial
was in progress. 1t is not a subject
OF conversation among the people
themselves, the most that they will
say being simply that fair trial
will be given the men who are on
trial for their lives.
Governor Gooding, who is an
Episcopalian, addressed our conven-
tion. He and his wife are living in
a hotel, and though the governor
himself feels no personal fear, there
is much apprehension felt by his
wife and friends as to his safety.
Saw the Imprisoned Men.
II saw the imprisoned men, charg-
ed with murder, in the yard of the
jail. They were playing games. and
seemed Indifferent to their gloomy
surroundings. Their families are in
Boise. having come to this city, and
are allowed to see them.
Boise Model City.
"Wenatchee could take a valuable
lession from the striking result of
the public spirit of Boise citizens"
said Mr.. Hilton. ''It must have been
fifteen or twenty years ago that the
people of the then small town began
planting for city beautiful. Hand
some shade trees fringe the streets,
the town is laid out symetrically and
with view to architectural and
landscape effect. It's streets are well
paved, its homes are heated from
natural hot water basin, there are
public natatoriums, and it is in every
way an ideal city-and It's in an ir-
rigated country. just like we are.

Agricultural College
Work Will be Extended

to do this work. The last legislature
was asked for a modest sum to begin
this work. The next Legislature will
be asked for $4,000 to start 1t of
and evidence will be produced that
will convince the legislators that this
sum ought to be given. The demand
for this work Is already strong and
it will be made stronger the next
year.
The experimental work of the col
lege Its extension work IN carrying
the short courses to the people, its
demonstrations on various farms in
the state, all have SO popularized the
college and its work that another leg
islature will not dare to turn down It's
recommendations, even in the face OF
sharp criticism over extravaganza in
appropriations.
The organization of the insurance
interests of the state at meeting held
here Is taken as indicating that there
will be a good deal of activity the next
year or two In regard to the legisla
tive and executive relationship to the
insurance interests III the state. The
chief point of attack will be that of
the Iowa anti-compact law. The In
along that this was q great mistake.
They will insist that as result Of 1t
the people are paying more for their
insurance than they would otherwise
pay. The insurance people therefore
very much desire that the law be re-
pealed They Will also attempt to Sc
cure what they regard as more lib
eral Interpretation of the insurance
laws of the state There has been a
great deal Of complaint that the insur.
ance laws have been too strictly en-.
forced and the companies are under
entirely too many restraints.
Information has been received here
that the railroad managers are not a
unit on the policy they are to take
with regard to the complications grow
ing out Of reduced fares and other
regulations in Iowa and other states.
At the frst conference which was held
! in st. Louis no decision was reached
as to what should be done in retalia-
ton. Some of those present wanted
to reduce the number of trains, but
not all roads would agree to this and
some insisted they should put on
more trains. Some OF them declined
to Join in the clamor for cutting OF
all excursion business, saying that the
excursion business was profitable and
they needed the money. But 1t has
been agreed that on most of the roads
there win be reduction Of the train
service and the withdrawal of all spe-
cial rates for conventions, fairs and
similar gatherings. All cut rates will
be ended. Inasmuch as some at the
leading railroad men are opposed to
the ending Of all special rates this &C.
ton may be reconsidered at any time.

Although progress has been greater
IN recent years than ever before at the
Iowa agricultural college and the ac-'
tivities Of the college are reaching out
IN more directions than ever before,
yet under the leadership of Professors
Holden, Curtis, Stanton, Mckay, Pam
mel and others preparations are un-
der way for a wonderful extension of
work the next few years. The college
Will mako on exhibit at the Etate fair
in August that will call to the atten-
tion of the farmers the great work be-
ing done, and it is hoped that in this
way there will be intelligent direction
given to the general demand in the
state for some new work Of special
value to the farmers. Last winter the
efforts Of the college and of those In
teresred In agricultural education were
directed to securing the fou. agricul.
tural high schools, but the demand was
not sufficient to secure these. The
effort to secure such schools will be
renewed before the next legislature
with some prospect of success

there are practically no satisfactory
