scriptive of Reidston Stock Farm, was
published:
"One of the finest of the many stock
farms for which Indiana is noted is

Dougan has spared no expense to make
this farm the best of it's kind. 1t was
first started as a breeding place for
high class Hereford cattle in 1899. but
in 1905 the cattle were sold off and
standard bred trotters took their place.

The name of Oxford was given the
village. which was to be the seat of
the new school In recognition Of the
great parent university. But Oxford
narrowly missed becoming the home
of the institution that has been her
chief glory. The first trustees named
by the state held their initial meeting

college in that town. This plan. how

her graduates. will be 100 years old
in June. Already plans are matured
Tor centennial celebration at Oxford
that will attract nation wide attention.
It is practically certain that the
President Of the United States will be
among the guests, and If Mr. Taft is
present he will undoubtedly speak.
The interest of the President in this
old Ohio institution is greater than
his interest In any other American
college. except his alma mater, Yale.
1t grows out OF the unusual association
existing between this school and Mrs.
Taft's father. John Williamson
Heron. of Cincinnati. Few Ameri-
cans have ever been more closely
identified through life with their old
college than has Mr.. Heron with
Miami. He was graduated from this
college In 1845. and became q trustee
OF the college In 1859. He has since
served continuously. on the Board
through his appointment Of Cover
nOrs of both parties. and he has given
his time and effort unsparingly to
Miami for fifty years.
In 1880 Mr.. Heron became presi-
dent of the Board of Trustees, and for
twenty consecutive years he has been
the official head of the institution
Although now in Ill health and unable

continues to hold the presidency Of
the Board. and there is no doubt that
he will be continued in office as long
as he lives.
The first invitation for the event
was taken to the President by a repre-
sentative OF the college, Mr. Taft ex-
pressed e strong desire to come, and
Informed the committee that he would

1t Is quite possible that the President
may have double errand in Ohio,
and that the presentation of the med
ais voted to the Wright brothers. the
Dayton aeroplanists, will be set for
the day following the Miami centen-
NAL. This would enable the Presi.
dent to participate IN both events.

There we're four measures passed by
the legislature that will be of special bene-
fit to the newspapers Of the state. The
enactment of these bills was largely due to
the efforts of the Eastern Idaho Press club
and show what effective work can be ac-
complished by organization. While the
laws referred to will be the means Of in
creasing the revenue of many papers in the
state,,the money thus derived will not cause
burden on the dear people," neither will
the amounts be sufficient to place'any of the
newspaper men in the millionaire class.
The laws in brief are as follows: Requiring
the publication of the official ballot before
any general election i'll ut least two news
papers in county; providing for the publ
cation in digested form of all laws passed
by the legislature; requiring the publication
of city and village ordinances by repeating
the clause which heretofore made it option
al whether they should be published OF
posted; prohibiting the use of rubber stamps
or indelble pencils in the marking of but
ter wrappers.

After all it appears that the approach
ing city campaign is to be conducted on
partisan lines. At least the leading
democrats of Montpelier say that they in
tend to place straight democratic ticket
in the field. This will have to be done by
petition of course, the time now being too
short to hold delegate convention in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the election
law The Examiner is really glad that the
democrats have taken this stand, as we
have always favored contest on party
lines Whether or not the republicans will
nominate straight party ticket, we are
unable to say, as several republicans with
whom we have talked regarding the matter
seem very Indifferent, while others are in
favor of getting in the game" with
ticket. Only few days remain in which
to decide the question and if the republicans
are going to do anything it is time they
were getting busy.
The contest three years ago was con-
Quoted on party lines and while the demo-
Gratis elected the big end of the ticket, the
administration that resulted from that cleo
ton did more good work for the city than
Because the men who composed that adj
ministration were elecled on platforms
pledged to carry out certain policies--the
republican and democratic platforms both
favored the installation of water system
and other municipal Improvements and
they felt it a duty they owed, not only to
themselves but to their political parties,
to carry out those pledges.
In the case of partisan administration
if tue mayor has some policy that ne would
like to see put into effect, he can appeal to
those Of the council Of his own political
faith to assist him, as members of that
party and nine times out of ten they will do
it, If serving as nonpartisans the chances
are just as great that the same men would
not stand with the mayor or with each
other on the same policy.
Be it democratic or republican, let us
have partisan administration during the
ensuing two years.

One day this week there passed through
Montpelier 20 cars loaded with household
goods, farming implements and stock.
This shipment represented that many fami-
lies who have left the Mississippi valley
states principally Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska-to become citizens of this great
and glorious west Twenty six of the cars
were billed to different points in Idaho
and three to Oregon. This is but single
illustration of the great influx of people
that Idaho is receiving from the east, and
more would come, especially from the wind
swept prairies of Kansas, if they could dis
pose of their land for a sufficient sum to
get here. A few weeks ago a gentleman

from Kansas, in talking with the writer on
train between Montpelier and Pocatello,
said that it would require 20 locomotives to
haul the families and personal effects of all
those who, we're anxious to leave the section
of Kansas in which he had spent ten years
eking out an existence. He said that he
practically gave his land away, sold what
little surplus stock he had, loaded the
balance, with his farming implements, and
household goods and struck out for Idaho
with his family He intended to locate
near Idaho Falls, having visited that sec
tion last fall.

Well, the old Pocatello Advance is no
more. The plant from which the paper was
published is still in operation but hence
forth the paper will be known as the Gate
City News, and it's destiny will be guided
by 4. E. Ewing. who recently purchased
the plant from G. O. Broxon. Mr.. Ewing
announces that the News will be independ-
ent politically as we'll as in every other
way" Furthermore he states that his
policy will be to give the people the very
best newspaper possible and to assist in
making .Pocatello the best, busiest and
biggest city in Idaho. = The Examiner
welcomes Mr. Ewing to the newspaper fold
of Southeastern Idaho and trusts that his
fondest hopes will be realized for the up
building of Pocatello and the country tribu
tary thereto.
