FARM Unit
FINALLY FIXED

The eighty-acre farm unit having
been recommended by the board ap-
pointed to investigate the matter,
the following letter from ]. H. Ross
of the Reclamation Service, will be
of interest to homesteaders:
Boise, Idaho, Feb. 6, 1908.
Mr.. J. H. Lowell,
President PayetteBoise Water
Users Association.
Caldwell, Idaho.
Dear Sir: I have been advised by
the director of the reclamation SER
vice that Messrs. Granger and Shurt-
left, the board appointed to examine
and recommend the size of farm unit
under the Payette-Boise project, have
recommended an 8O-acre farm unit,
and We are now preparing farm unit
plats on this basis.
More than a year ago this office
addressed a circular letter to all the
homesteaders under the south divis-
ion of the project, requesting them
to indicate the so or 40-acre subdi-
vision of their entries which they
might be DESTROYS of retaining in
the event that the secretary should
decide on either one of these areas
for the farm unit. We received re-
plies from perhaps SO per cent of
the homesteaders and are observing
the wishes then expressed by them
in the preparation of the farm unit
plats. 1t is the desire of the service
to observe the wishes of the present
entryman in this matter, and II
would be considered favor If they
would indicate to this Office without
delay the subdivision of their entries
which they are DESTROYS of retaining.
l wish you would call attention to
this in your conversation with entry
men, and 1t might be we'll for you
to call attention to 1t publically.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) D. w. ROSS,
Supervising Engineer

RENAISSANCE
IS ON AGAIN

These are strenuous days at the
College of Idaho. The students are
absorbed in the work of preparing
to publish a volume which will fit
tingly celebrate the passing of the
College, from a small struggling
school, into the ranks of our national
endowed educational institutions.
Never was there a time when 10y
atty to the College was SO strong.
Each one of the classes has eagerly
thrown itself into the work of con-
tributing something to the advance
ment of the great projects for the
College. And now the whole stu
dent body has united together and
with the assistance of the faculty and
alumni will publish a beautifully
bound book. which they will dedicate
to the citizens of Caldwell and Can
yon County This volume will ap-
propriately enough go by the name
of the Renaissance" and will rep
| resent the best which the culture
and intellect of the College is capa-
BILE of producing.
The art features of the book will
dominate. The leading articles, such
as THE Story of the Making of Cald-
WE'LL" Life in the Arid West" and
THE History Of the College of Ida
no." will be profusely and beauti-
fully illustrated. The College feels
that it can show it's appreciation of
the loyal support it has received
from the people of this town and
county in no better way than to pub
fish work Of permanent value,
which will celebrate in verse and in
prose, in sketch and in Photographic
art, the great progress, development
and prosperity that has come to the
former vast Southern Idaho sage
brush wilderness country.
This volume will be something
more than the ordinary College An
nual. In fact, 1t is intended to give
it that dignity and general public
worth such as is suited to the mis-
sion which it has to perform. Never
as yet has there been published any
permanent book which has told the
story of this section of the country,
and the demand for such will now
be met by the Associated Body of
the College of Idaho. Likewise, not
only will the literary features of this
production be all that is desired, but
it is intended to make THE Renais-
sance" an art volume in every sense.
| Several beautiful engravings of Rem
aissance art will be scattered thru
out the book and its general arrange
ment will be artistic and thoroly har-
monious. In other words, The Rem
Nuisance" will be a volume which

Councilman Jones brought up the
subject of building inspection and
urged action upon the meeting. He
called their attention to the fact that
a certain building, used in this city
for public meetings, was decidedly
unsafe. He also called attention to
the fact that another building used
for public meetings Is unprovided
with fire escapes. A lively debate
followed during which Mr.. Jones
stated that the first mentioned build
ing would be used for large dance
in a few weeks, and that 1t was In
his opinion in such a condition that
an immediate inspection was ad-
visable, so that If necessary 1t could
be condemned In time to save the
lives of hundred or so people.
After further debate "a special
meeting for next Tuesday evening
was decided upon, at which time
they would consider a building in
spection ordinance that would be
prepared in the meantime.

his place and engaged a room for the

good coin of the realm. Owing to
the condition Of the city Jail they
