CALDWELL HAS
IDAHO STATE BAND

Pocatello is figuring on the organi-
cation of state band to go to the
Seattle exposition, with the Pocatello
band as nucleus. The idea is a
good one but little late. The Idaho
State band has already been organized
in Caldwell, with Alvin Snapp as di-
rector. The Caldwell band will form
a nucleus of 80 members and will
be augmented by members from all
parts Of the state. 1t is proposed to
have a band of at least rs members.
Pocatello can probably make arrange
ments to come in under Director
Snapp We trust the PocatelIo boys
will join in. For many years now the
Caldwell band has been the finest in
the state. Speaking of the matter, the
Tribune of Pocatello, says:
plans are in the making for the
organization of a state band, with tho
famous Gate City band of Pocatello
as the nucleus. w. A. Samms, diree-
tor of the local band, is taxing the
initiative in the matter, and has taken
| the matter up with the Idaho commas
| sioners to the Seattle exposition 1t
| is the plan to organize a bauil con-.
sisting Of the best musicians in the
entire state, to the number of about
| 40, and take them to Seattle this sum
mer to advertise the Gem state. In
a recent conversation with Governor
Brady, Mr.. Samms was assured the
! hearty cooperation of the executive.
Such a band was organized at Cald-
we'll four years ago to go to the Port
land fair, and the experiment was
brilliant success. 1t is generally con-
coded that no better leader of such
band could be chosen than w. A.
| Samms."

ignation of Prof. French, Mr.. McCut-
cheon said, that he had resigned after
he left Moscow, and that he had first
heard of it after his arrival at Boise
Sunday He had known, however,
since going to the board in March,
1908, that there was friction between
Professor French and President Nc
Lane, and consequently the resigna-
ton was not unexpected. A majority
of the board and President McLane
agreed upon the policies to he observ-
ed in the management of the college
OF agriculture. No unfriendly feel
ing exists toward Prof. French, who
has done much to popularize the uni
versity among the farmers of the state.
The position of dean of the agricul-
tural college was created in Septem-
Der, 1908, and Prof. Elliott of the
Washington State college was elected
to the place.
Mr.. McCutcheon would not go into
details as to the differences between
Professors McLane and French. The
board expects to acceptably fill the
position of director of the experiment
station, to succeed Prof. French, but
would make no announcement at the
present time.

ed the building from the stage to the
doors. 1t is estimated that there were
500 in the opera house and fully as
many more who could not gain admis-
sion.
The arrangements for the meeting
were all made by the student body. A
procession was formed at the college
building, with the Caldwell band at
the head, followed by the National
Guard. Then came the students, car
rying banners on which was inscribed
motoes, as follows: Three Buildings
or Bust" Watch Miss Finney's En-
dowment Grow" Or. Boone's Big Lit
tie College" Baseball Champions
$685." Champions in Defamation
Contest 190S," Champions in Debate
1908" Two Hundred Students, Sep.
LIST, 1909" These are just a few of
the many notices which gave the pub
lie an idea of what the college had
done and what they might expect.
Autos and buggies were pressed into
service and were beautifully decorat-
ed, making most pleasing effect. The

subject which is so dear to his
heart as the College of Idaho.
Howard Sebree was called on for a
few words of encouragement Mr.. Sc
Dree is not a public speaker but
what little he does say carries con-
Viction and weight. His few remarks
viii doubtless be remembered by many
OF the boys who were present Thurs
night.
W. IL. Gibson, of Boise, was, next
called on. Mr.. Gibson has greatly inn
proved in oratory since last he spoke
in Caldwell and like Rev. Chalfant, he
gave us hope that Boise would con-
tribute to the fund.
Mrs. H. D. Blatchley had for her
subject, The General Situation"
There perhaps is no person in Cald-
well who is better prepared to talk on
the general situation, in reference to
the college, than is Mrs. Blatchley.
She has been one Of the working and
contributing members ever since the
college was established in this city
and it is a safe bet that since the pres
ent campaign for funds was started,
that she has made more good sugges-
lions to the Supreme Ruler of the
universe, asking for divine assistance
in getting the $4,000, than she ever
did in all her previous life and it is
apparently having it's effect. Mrs
Blatchley's talk was listened to with
the closest attention by the entire au-
dience.
Judge McCutcheon, of Idaho Falls,
expressed his surprise at the enthu-

chinery will be transported to Boise.
Mr.. Andrews will straighten up his
business and may engage in the real
estate business until something shows
up that suits him, when he may again
engage in business.

COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL
GET MORE Than 100000

A special and and well attended
meeting of the. Caldwell Commercial
club was held Monday evening. with
Vice President Handy presiding. The
purpose of the meeting was to hear
the report of the $4,000 or bust COM
mlttee. Mr.. Il. II, Plowhead, chairman
of the committee, made his report.
He stated that the committee had al
ready secured contracts to the amount
of $1,000; he asked that the committee
be increased three or four, and that
1t be granted a little more time. He
was very enthusiastic as to the out
look and felt safe in promising up
wards of the six thousand. Both of
his requests were granted. Messrs.
Il. r. Place and V. d. Hannah report

testimony in this proceeding Is being
taken.
Mr.. Harriman's claims for reim-
bursement on account of the $1,000
900 or more which he expended sew
eral years ago in rebuilding the Sal
ton sea dam, which was urged upon
congress with great yigor by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and which was the
subject of numerous reports and much
debate, excited great interest all over
the country.
Mr. Hartman and his counsel con-
tended that the Southern Pacific rail-
road In rebuilding the dam was doing
a work that should have been done by
the government, and for this reason
insisted upon reimbursement. Con-
gress. however, never acted favorab.y
on the claims.
Perhaps the most noted of the re-
cert cases i'm which Mr.. Hartman has
figured Is the litigation that grew oas

was allowed to wait upon their per
lection.
Great Struggle.
Harriman's most spectacular per
forInaace was in 1901, when he strug-
gled with the Morgan and Hill ir-ar-
csts for control of the Northern Pa
cific. On May Q of that year the his
toric Northern Pacific corner resulted
in the stock of the company going to
$1,000. At the show down Hartman
produced s7s.ooo.oOo in stock out of a
total OF S155, 900, 600. However, the
Hill Morgan people held the whip
haad, through II bylaw which per-
mitted the retirement Of preferred
stock at any time. OF his holdings,
100000 was preferred stock, but

Influence Grows.
Hartman made his debut as a saii-
road man in 1883, when he became a
director of>the Illinois Central. He was
then worth Il million dollars. ne
formed IA business alliance with Jacob
II. Schiff and his influence in Wall
street grew rapidly. In 1894 ne at
tempted to reorganize the Erie railroad
and was soundly whipped in fight
with the Morgan interests. Undaunt
ell. he set about to learn the railroad
business in a way to make him a mas
tor. and SO equipped himself for the
successful undertaking with the Union
Pacific.

W. Perkins went to their various
homes without concerted action. 1t is
believed by Mr.. Harriman's associates
that the railroad system which he or
ganized and carried forward to such
degree of success will be continued
with practically no change of policy
and that plans to that end were per-
fected by Mr.. Hartman long beforS
his death. There were numerous re
ports concerning the status of the vast
properties under Mr.. Harriman's di-
rection. One was that his securities
had been trusteed and were held intact
for the greater safety of his estate
and the properties concerned.
Great Wealth.
Recent estimates of MIR. Harrimans
personal wealth have varied all the
way from soo,D00.00o to s100, 200, 600
He was, of course. a large holder of
securities of various corporations Win
which he was identified. Reports
credited him with large personal hold
ings in the Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa
Fe road. Baltimore 4 OHIO. Delaware
& Hudson, Erie, Illinois Central New
York Central and Pacific Mail Steam
ship company. He was reported to
have been the largest Individual stock
holder in the Wells Fargo Express
company, which only recently acquired
virtual monopoly of the express bust
ness in Mexico. His Arden home. it
was said, cost more than s2,000,o00
Tributes Paid.
From all parts of the country there
came tributes upon Mr. Harriman's ca
reer and life work-from railroad pres
idents. bankers and from men promi-
nent in all walks of business and
financial life. AS to the probable effect
of his death on the financial world,
there was variety of opinion, but
comment was rather generally guarded.
one of the finest tributes came from
James ]. Hill. another giant among
the railroad builders, and a one time
business adversary.
Il have always regarded Mr.. Harri-
man very highly" he said. Il have
done a great deal of business with
him in the last few years and some
of it. as you know, has been of a
| ought to know him pretty wei. He
did the work of several men during
his lifetime. He Was one who never
left anything undone. and there are
few men i'm this country whose place
il will be harder to fill. 1t is greatly
to be regretted that Mr.. Hartman
could not live to complete all the work
he had set out to do.
There should not be any serious
financial disturbance as the result Of
his death. All his properties are in
good shade. He was not one who would
leave his affairs so situated that the
wolves could prey upon them. The
great railroad systems he created will
run along as usual and. somehow. his
place will be filled. for all of us die
and yet the world wags on.
