on November 20, Prof. Nelson said /:
"Your recent letter relative to my
resignation at hand. l assure YOU
| am not unappreciative of the efforts
of the University authorities and
yourself in placing the work here, as
you say, con a proper basis" and am
therefore sorry to leave. I shall dis
claim any misrepresentation relative
to the reasons for my resignation that
may appear"
In the face of these facts Prof. J..
r. Shinn, recently fired by the board
of regents, in a letter to the Spokane
Review, the original which came into
the hands of the Star-Mirror editor,
says that Prof. Nelson of the Cald-
well station is resigning because of
the hostility of Pres. MacLean to
agriculture. 1t was because of
Shinn's dirty work in regard to the
dismissal Of Prof. French over the
starving OF the Angora goats, and the
incompetency Of French shown in the
case of tuberculosis cattle, together
with his inability to produce results
in the way of building up a student
body, that made the services of Prof.
Shinn of no further use to the college.
And now that he has been fired he is
resorting to every trick known to the
vilest and most unprincipled ward
politician to scatter falsehoods re-
garding the University of Idaho and
Pres. Mac Lean.
The Star-Mirror has information
which shows that as a trouble breeder
Prof. Shinn is a past master. Before
coming to Idaho he was professor in
another western college and was fired
because of his interference and under
handed tactics. The Star-Mirror will
take pleasure in giving the people of
the state the facts in this case that
they may understand who Prof.
Shinn is and what manner of man
he is. He is a professional muck
raker, and is doing in Idaho just what
he did when he lost his former job.

GROWERS ARE COMING

Thomas S. Stanford, president of
the Idaho Woolgrowers' association,
announces that there will be a meet
ing of the members of the association
in Caldwell on Monday and Tuesday,
January 4 and s at which the rail
road rate question, the grazing situa-
ton and the minimum speed limit
law will occupy the attention Of the
sheepmen.
There will be in attendance q rep
resentative of the National Wool
Warehouse & Storage Co., who will
explain the present plans and future
developments contemplated by that
organization.
Assistant District Forester Potter
of Washington, D. c., has expressed
desire to attend the sessions, and
he will be in attendance, both at the
meetings of the association and Of the
state advisory boards, which are to
convene on Sunday, the day before
the regular meetings of the commits
sion.
The meeting of these advisory
boards will be attended, IL is expected,

BUILDING NEARLY
COMPLETED NOW

G. T. Hawkes. of the Caldwell Muir
sery Company was in the city Mon
day. Mr.. Hawkes. informed us that
the work on the Company's new office
and packing sheds, four miles from
Caldwell, was progressing very rap
idly. The Office and sheds of the
Caldwell Nursery Company are locat-
ed at Lingenfelter, on the B. G.. /.
miles from Caldwell. Here tie COM
pany purchased several thousand
dollars worth of real estate. Mr..
Hawkes. says that the business is
looking up in fine shape. His COM
pany is receiving orders and inquir-
les from all sections of the state.
The Caldwell nurseries will soon be
prepared to handle them all.

are simply the construction of the
early intentions.
The Tribune's informant states that
the recent trouble between the Boise
& Interurban on the one side and the
Dewey railroad and the Boise Valley
on the other, is stirring up the form
err road. The B. & I. feels that the
other two lines are looking for
fight and is preparing to give them
one to finish. The Dewey road has
acted about as contemptibly as pos
sible since the Interurban was built.
The recent action of the road in
changing to the winter schedule,
seemed to have been done with
view to discommoding as many peo-
pie as possible.
Be that as it may be, the stock
holders of the Caldwell line
have decided upon the extensions
outlined above. The road will be
built from Boise to Nampa first, then
extended to Caldwell. It is unlikely
that anything will be done toward the
Roswell extension until after the
completion of this work The people
of Caldwell can certainly look for
ward to year of growth and devel-
opment. This construction work, to-
gether with the other improvements
and building authorized and decided
upon, will make Caldwell the liveliest
town Idaho during the next year.
The optimism is general. AS an
illustration Col. E. r. Place states
that real estate will jump this spring.
He says that people are refusing
$175.O0 an acre two and half miles
from town. Seven thousand dollars
was this week offered for forty acres,
only IS of which was seeded, and the
owner refused. He wanted, and
and would not take one cent less than
100000 for the 40 acre tract. This
is no exceptional case so Col. Place
informs US. Similar things are hap
pening every day.

by the supervisors Of the several ma
tional forests of Idaho. DIR. A. D.
Melvin, chief of the bureau Of ami
NAL industry at Washington, has also
been invited to attend and prominent
among the veterinarians who will be
present will be DIR. Mcclure Of Pen
dleton, Oregon.
The foot and mouth disease which
has recently made its appearance in
Wyoming, is particularly occupying
the attention Of the sheepmen at this
time. At the meeting of the associa-
ton the subject of rigid quarantine
will be taken up. To that end the ex-
ecutive committee Of the association
has had a meeting with the state
sanitary borad to discuss the best
methods by which to protect Idaho
sheep from infection from other
states.
There is an effort on foot to Sc
cure reduced rates to Caldwell for
that convention and 1t Is expected
that the movement will be successful
and that the largest and most en-
thusiastic meeting Of the woolgrowers
will be held as a result.

THE ELECTRIC RAILROAD
WILL SOON Be EXTENDED

The Tribune has it on first rate
authority that the Boise & Interur
ban Railway Co. has in contemplation
ton some extensive construction
work, to be started in the near future.
The Boise & Interurban intends build
ing an electric line from Boise to
Nampa and from Nampa to Caldwell
It will also extend it's line from Cald,
well to the Roswell bench. 1t is not
known whether the road will cross the
Boise river or not. A bridge across
the river down there would be ex-
pensive and it is feared the tonnage
would not justify such an expenditure
at this time. The construction work
will be started in the near future.
Men prominently identified with the
road and ALLEN interests have been
meeting and discussing the proposed
extensions. The present line has more
than come up to the expectations of
the people who built it. 1t has been
a money maker from the first; and as
the farms along the line are cut up
into smaller tracts, the traffic will in
crease. The new houses along the
line between Caldwell and Boise are
many. The big farms are rapidly
disappearing. 1t is only a question
of few years when the Boise Valley
farm will consist of from. ten to
twenty acres.
The success of the present line has
loosened up the eastern capitalists
are simply the consumation of TIE
who financed it. They are ready and
willing to put more money into Idaho
development enterprises. OF course
the natural line of investment they
would seek, would be to increase their
investments in electric line property
in the Boise valley. It is said that
the original plans of Mr.. w. E.
Pierce and associates contemplated a
net work of electric lines throughout
the Boise valley. Tie present plans

COUNCIL HAS A
LIVELY Session

Monday evenings meeting of he
City Council was very interestiIg.
In addition to the regular routine
business, several other matters Of
prime importance came up. One Il
the most important matters is that 6f

tenn. Some time since Engineer W..
liams was instructed to prepare ples
and estimates for the proposed -
tensions. He submitted his repcEt
Monday evening. 1t states that TIE
cost of the proposed works would be
SIC, 100000. AS this amount would
cause the city's Indebtedness to ex-
coed the constitutional limit he was
instructed to prepare plans for ex-
tensions to cost $4O,O00.0O. Perhaps
the Council forgot about the resent
Supreme Court decision compelling
the Assessors to assess at approxi-
mately the cash value Of the prop
erty. Under this ruling the assessed
valuation of Caldwell will be increas-
ed sufficiently to enable the bond is
sue. -
A number of persons appeared
before the Council to protest against
the weed assessments. Last summer
the city employed two gangs of weeds-
men to eradicate the nuisance IA
Caldwell. Now comes several citi-
zens claiming that they never had
any weeds, and if they did they were
not cut by the official weedsmen, as
they are still standing plainly visible
to the naked eye.
Two bridges across Indian Creek
were ordered built to cost $4,000.
each. These bridges are on Arthur
street and Fourth avenue. The coun-
Gil has decided to improve Kimball
avenue from Kipp to Steunenberg.
Tie council allowed the claim of
R. R. Dodge & Co. in the sum of $50.
rebate for unexpired city license. City
Attorney Plowhead took the position
that there was no authority of law
for allowing the claim, but 1t was al
lowed just the same.

at Orchestra Hall, Chicago, Tuesday
evening.
"Since January 1, 19O9," he said,
saloons have closed at the rate of 40
a day. But that 70 per cent of the
area of the United States forbids Ii
censed liquor traffic tells only a part
of the visable results. No power, of
evil on earth can long withstand this
continued onslaught. The gates of
hell cannot prevail against it,
"There is no class that suffers so
much from the drink traffic as do
those who perform manual lobor, and
there is no class so much exploited by
the saloon and brewery element as
they. The great labor movement is
yet to become a great spiritual and
religious movement"
