ALBION STATE NORMAL.
An Educational Institution in Which
the State May Have Pride.

The permanent prosperity of any
state or locality depends largely upon
the character of its schools. That the
people of the great inland empire of
Southern Idaho are conscious of this is
evidenced by the loyal support given
their representative state school, The
State Normal school at Albion received
an appropriation of s120, 900 from the
last legislature.
Probably no school in the west pro-
misses to occupy larger place in the
educational development of the country.
AS the great projects of southern Idaho
become settled and productive the
school will continue to grow. Already
action has been taken to keep pace with
this growth. During the summer and
fall one of the finest gymnasiums in the
west will be erected on the normal
school grounds. 5000 are being spent
in providing new equipment and new
quarters for the science department.
In addition the interiors of the dormi-
tories and other buildings are being re-
furnished and made more attractive.
New courses will also be added to the
regular curriculum. A large increase
in enrolment is expected on September
T. upon which date the new school year
will open.
Albion is an ideal school and residence
town. 1t is located in lovely noun
tain valley which is always cool and
green during the spring and summer and
never extremely cold in winter. There
is an abundance of shade in Albion and
beautiful mountain stream flowing
through the valley adds much to its
natural loveliness. People are already
marking the contrast between this
cool and inviting spot and the heat and
dust of the great level country immedi-
atty contiguous, and are seeking it for
its climate and its splendid school.

DBLE HEADED
FARMERS DAY
niittee Planning to Have
Two Day Exhibit.
~ Stock Show to be Added to Ex-
1T Of Farm Products Basket
Dinner Planned as a Feature
of Entertainment.

Details are being worked out looking
to double headed Farmers Day this
fall. In addition to an exhibit of agri-
cultural products it is planned to have
. stock show, with suitable premiums
offered. Inasmuch as it would crowd
things too much to have both in one
day it is planned to devote two days
to these exhibits. In the near future
a meeting will be called for the pur-
pose of effecting a permanent organi-
zation and enlisting the support of
leading men from various sections, and
preparing list of products for which
prizes will be awarded. The Aberdeen
and Springfield countries should have
at least two representatives in the per-
manent organization, American Falls
and Rockland like number, one each
from Landing, Arbon, Igo, Neeley and
Horse Island, and two from Blaine
county. These should take the
place of the executive committee which
last year planned and carried out the
exhibit. A call will soon be issued for
such meeting and it is hoped that
leading men of the various sections will
not be backward in assuming their
share of the responsibility necessary to
make the undertaking a complete sue
cess.
In place of a barbecue, such as was
prepared last year, it has been sug-
gested to have basket dinner, group
ing the crowd by states or nationalities,
and giving prize for the largest at
tendance. The matter of encouraging
the formation of state associations is
being considered, and will probably be
encouraged.
The Executive committee favors the
early preparation of premium list, so
that farmers may prepare their exhib-
its in advance. Last year preparations
were begun so late that many products
could not be shown. From the exhibits
made the best will be chosen and sent
to the Dry Farm Congress at Billings,
Montana, which convenes in October
and will be the means of doing much
toward advancing the interests of this
section. The exhibits last year sur
prised all who saw them, and with
ample time for preparations, they
should be better this year.

The one bright spot in the building
at the present, McCullum declared, is
that part of one of the wings which
contains the educational exhibits.
THAT display he said, sis wonder
full and surpasses anything shown by
the other states. Washington, Oregon
and the others may have more room
over which to spread the samples of
work done in their schools, but they do
not equal what Idaho offers to the
public.

about the Idaho building while in Seat

filled structure. We'll, we would take

NEW IDAHO RAILROAD.
Short Line Preparing to Build West
ward From Buhl.

Empire-building extensions by the
Oregon Short Line railroad were form
ally decided upon at meeting in this
city this morning of the board of direc-
tors of the Minidoka & Southwestern
Railroad company, subsidiary Short
Line corporation. The articles of in
corporation of the company were
amended to provide for the construction
OF an extention to the present branch
from Minidoka to Buhl, westward
through Twin Falls, Owyhee and Cam
yon counties, to Nyssa, station on the
main line, distance of It's miles, for
the construction of branch of this ex-
tended line, commencing at a point
about ten miles west of Bull, north
ward across Snake river to a connection
with the main line at Glenns Ferry,
distance of 81 miles; and for the con-
struction of branch from Burley south
to Oakley, distance of % miles. The
meeting was presided over by G. K.
Smith of Salt Lake, secretary of the
company. All of the stock of the M.
& S. w. was represented in person or
by proxy.
The taking of favorable action means
that the Kuhn-Buhl interests of Pitts
burg, financial hackers of the immense
Twin Falls north and south sides and
Salmon river projects, will go ahead
with their Owyhee segregation of ap-
proximately 300, 900 acres. Frank
H. Buhl, the Pittsburg millionaire,
stated publicly not long ago that if the
Short Line decided to build this extern
ton, he would finance the great Bru-
neau or Owyhee project and thus add
another empire to the irrigated districts
of southern Idaho. <
The proposed branch from BurIey to
Oakley is also considered a most i'm
portant one, as it will open up fertile
region that had lain dormant too long.
The proposed branch from Buhl to
Glenn's Ferry will follow the south
side of the Snake northwestward to a
convenient crossing into Elmore county.
1t will not, as hitherto believed, ira
verse the Hagerman valley in Lincoln
county, but will very probably be used
cutoff for the use of heavy freight
trains, as it will eliminate King Hill,
one of the heaviest grades on the main
line of the Short Line. .-Pocatello

WILL CELEBRATE
PIONEER DAY
Good Program Arraged for
the Occasion.
Morning Exercises Will Be Held in
Auditorium, Program Of Lively
Sports and Baseball During
the Afternoon.

A good program has been prepared
for the celebration the oath inst, the
sixty-second anniversary of the arrival
of the pioneers in Salt Lake Valley.
On July "a, lS47, Brigham Young and
his band of hardy men and women,
emerged from Emigration Canyon and
camped where Salt Lake City now
stands. Every year since it has been
the custom to celebrate the anniver-
sary, which marks the first real settle
ment in the inter-mountain country.
There are some in this part of the
country who were members of the
pioneer band, or at least followed soon
after. j. H. Byington, of Neeley, is
one of these. He arrived in Salt Lake
twenty-four days after Brigham Young,
stripping of a boy, and has seen
the west transformed from it's wild
state To such as he the day has a
significance which it does not possess
for those arriving later.
The day will be given over to the
celebration. The program furnishes
variety to please all tastes. The ex-
ercises will be held in the Auditorium,
beginning at 10 o'clock. Rockland ia
lent has prominent place on the pro-
gram, which is as follows:
Salute at Sunrise, j. M. Forster.
