Agricultural Club Formed.
By J. H. Frandson. Department of Dairying. Idah
Experiment Station Moscow.

BY j. ii. r ranCSOn department OF Dalry1nR, lQanO
Experiment Station, Moscow.
A sudden impetus was given the
agricultural interests of the Univer-
sity of Idaho on the 10 of December,
1907 when the students of that de-
partment organized an agricultural
club. 1t consists Of students deeply
interested in agriculture, who are
doing all in their power to build up
a strong agricultural college in the
university. 1t is with a keen sense
of the needs of Idaho that the move
ment is begun. Idaho is one of the
most rapidly growing states of the
union. Over 100000 acres of land
have been added within the last year
or two to the grants covered by the
irrigation companies. This will fur
nish room for thousands of beautiful
homes in the near future 1t is OBJ
vious that scientific skill will be in
demand under the conditions
brought about by this extended sys-
TEN of intensive farming.
A publication known as the Idaho
Student Farmer will be the clubs
main method of interesting the farm
ers of the state in the work of the
agricultural college, and it is hoped
by this method to get great many
students from the farms. 1t is prob
ably the only student agricultural
paper published in the colleges of the
northwest. The first and only num-
Der of the present scholastic year
will come out in a week or ten days.
The people of Idaho should re-
spond with the true spirit of an ener-
getic commonwealth. Send in your
name and address to the Idaho Stu
dent Farmer, University of Idaho,

dissenting voice the house early in
the day, under a special rule restored
to the army appropriation bill the
provisions to increase the pay of non

of order.

offered by Foster, of Illinois, appro-
priating $1,500,000 for joint man
euvers of the militia organizations of
the several states and the regular
army. 1t provoked extended debate,
Hull and Tawney leading in opposi-
tion.
The amendment was altered SO as
to limit the amount to $1,000,000
and as modified was agreed to, on
division, sc to AS, but on the vote
being taken by tellers it was lost, SO
to 60.

Thursday, February 27.

| washington, FeD. ZI.-One or the
most dramatic scenes in the senate
was enacted today when Owen, of
| oklahoma, insisted, in tragis tones
and with face showing much emo
ton, that the five civilized tribes of
Indians We're dead and that he, as a
member of the tribe of Cherokee In
dians, was not under the control of
the secretary of the interior The
event was rendered all the more in
teresting by the fact that Owen was
sharply engaged in controversy by
Curtis, of Kansas, himself Kaw In
dian.
1t was the first time that two men
with Indian blood in their veins had
ever locked horns as senators in the
senate chamber. The controversy
arose in connection with the consid-
Grafton of the Indian bill and was
precipitated by motion on the part
of Owen to have the bill, so amended
as to recognize the citizenship of five
civilized tribes of Indians by putting
the word late" before this designa-
ton, calling them the late five civ
ilized tribes"
After further debate, in which
Owen, Curtis, Clapp, McCumber and
Lodge participated, owens PROPOSE
tion to designate the Indians as the
late five civilized tribes" was voted
down. Owens vote was the only one
in its support.
Washington, Feb. 27.-Represen-
tative Lilley, of Connecticut, today
introduced a resolution calling on
the secretary of the navy to inform
the house of Representatives of the
physical condition at the present
time of the various submarine tor
pedo boats owned by the United
States government, together with
full information of reports relating
to the performance of each, subma-
rine accidents thereto and repairs
thereon. Mr. Lilley said:
Il am informed that the dozen or
so submarines purchased from the
Holland Boat Company by the Gov
ernment are practically all sick,
broken and tied up at wharves. out
of commission, and that the Octopus
which outstripped its competitors in
the trials off Newport last year. is in |
such shape of dilapidation that ac-
ceptance by the navy department has
been refused.

Washington, Feb. 24-Ocean mail
subsidy and currency legislation were
both the subjects Of speeches in the
senate today. Gallinger opened the
debate in favor of his bill for ocean
mali subsidy to build up the American
merchant marine, and was followed by
Depew, who strongly approved the
measure.
Simmons. of North Carolina, and
White, of Maryland spoke in criticism
of the Aldrich currency bill, White
announcing that he would not vote for
any measure before the senate. An
hour was devoted to the further consid-
Grafton of the bill to revise the criminal
code.
Gallinger reviewed conditions udner
which the merchantm arine of this
country is operating and cited many ad
vantagxes that he believed will accrue
to the commercial interests of the
United States if better mail service to
South America and other points is es-
tablished.
Washington, Feb. 24.-The unusual
spectacle of the committee on rules
being overruled by its chairman, the
speaker, on the floor of the house, was
witnessed in that body today, much to
the discontinue of Dalzell, mem Der
of the committee.
The army appropriation bill, carry
ing sS5, ,007, ,566, was taken up. After
Hull, of Iowa, had explained its pro-
visions, Slayden, of Texas, criticised
"the enormous extravaganza Of the mil
itary establishment, while Holiday,
of Indiana, pleaded for increased pay
for the enlisted men of the army.
Other speeches we're delivered by
Hamilton, of Iowa, who favored tariff
revision, and by Wsshburn, of Massa-
chusetts, in favor of removing the re-
striction of the Sherman antitrust law
regarding organizations of merchants
in certain cases.

TUESDAY,, February 25

| Washington, Feb 25.-Currency
legislation was the chief topic before
the senate today. For nearly three
hours Owen, of Oklahoma, spoke on
the Aldrich bill, saying that he had,
through ex-senator Jones, of Arkan-
sas, in 1900 proposed legislation
somewhat similar to the bill under
consideration, but with essential diff
ferences, which he declared would
have prevented the recent panic had
! it been enacted into law. Owen re-
ceived close attention from the sena-
tors and was frequently interrupted
with questions, which led to spirited
debate.
The Indian appropriation bill re-
ceived consideration during a part
of the day. The bill was read
through.
Teller declared that Indian bills
have in the past been put through
the senate loaded down with new
legislation that should never have
been adopted.
Washington, Feb. 25-General de-
bate on the army appropriation bill
in the house of Representatives today
again furnished opportunity for free
expression Of opinion on the issues
of the day. Garrett of Tennessee
and Hau of North Carolina arraigned
the Republican party for it's policy
with regard to the tariff, while
Hayes of California denounced the
financial system of the United States
as patchwork" and the Aldrich bill
as falling far short of the remedial
legislation needed"
The only remarks pertinent to the
army bill were made by Parker of
New Jersey, who spoke in favor of
the proposition for increased pay
for the officers and men, and Kus-
terman of Wisconsin in support of
restoration of the canteen.
The seven hours allowed for gen
eral debate on the bill will expire to-
when the measure will be
read for amendment.

An All Around Show.

For years it has been the custom with
circuses to make some one act feature,
advertise it as drawing card, and then
surround it with cheap and inferior acts.
This is not the plan of the Great Cole
Brothers Show, which will be at ST.
Johnsbury on Wednesday, August ~
They feature no particular acts, for
with this show every act is a feature
and any one of these acts would be a
strongly advertised feature with other
shows What with another show would
be head liner is but an ordinary act
with the Great Cole Brothers Shows
When the show was organized for the
present season the Cole Brothers gave
their agent carte blanche orders in Sc
curing the cream of the circus talent, and
that they were successful is made evident
by the assemblage OF the worlds star
artists with this show. European and
American talent contributed the leaders
of aerial artists. riders, gymnasts, aero
bats, contortionists, leapers, tumblers,
droll and funny clowns, trained animals
and, in fact, all that goes to make up a
circus of such extreme merit and stu
pendous magnitude as the Great Cole
Brothers Show. While many shows
boast of strong European attractions,
and try to convince the public by using
unpronounceable names for their per-
formers, that this is the proper form, the
Cole Brothers differ with them. America
has always and probably always will
furnish the star performers and best acts
rand features. While there are many
European specialties with the Great
Cole Brothers Show, the very best acts
and leading performers are of American
origin.
