The services of S. G. Smith, Of
Grand Junction, Col, has been secured
by the Caldwell Fruit Growers asso-
citation to serve as the superintendent
of the association. Mr.. Smith has
been for several years connected with
the Grand Junction Fruit Growers
association and is thoroughly equip

Caldwell concern. One of his duties
will be to look after the selling of
the crop and see that the proper
methods are pursued in packing the
fruit. The Caldwell organization is
fortunate in securing the services of
so competent a man as Mr.. Smith.
He left for his home Tuesday, but will
shortly return to take up his duties

st. Joseph, Mo-, wants to take up
the Birmingham plan of prizes for
flower boxes, gardens and the like.
The st. Joseph Gazette says:
1T involves but small outlay of
money, entirely within the means of
the mass of wage-earners, and the eff
feet of such a movement, If systemati-
cally pushed, would be elevating and
gratifying to all who take an interest
in it. Even if the prizes were only S.
or $40 for the most beautiful flower
boxes displayed during the months of
May and June continuously the ex-
pense would depend entirely upon the
amount of individual work and study
given to art, while the home-beautifier
would come to feel his reward in the
refining influence of the flowers. A
more attractive city and prouder citi-
zenship should be the logical result

THE COLLEGE .HAS::ARRIVED
At VERY GRAVE. CRISIS

1t may not be. generally understood
that the, present, campaign for funds
for the College of Idaho is life and
death struggle. If the amount sought
is obtained, a college in every way
worthy of the name Is assured. Three
buildings will be erected on College
Hill, suitable equipment will follow,
and Caldwell will be college town.
Nothing stands in the way but lack
of funds.
The school known as the College of
Idaho has been, maintained in the old
buildings nearly, 18 years, and as an
academy, has gained reputation for
thorough work and efficient manage
ment not excelled by any institution
Of the grade. in the. West. During the
past two years collegiate department
has been conducted and the corps of
instructors Increased. The buildings
and equipment have proven entirely
INADEQUATE to the necessities of the
students, and it has been increasingly
apparent that to continue even, as an
academy, larger buildings and addi-
tional facilities must be secured. The
question has been, shall the funds be
secured and the school established on
it means to Caldwell and Boise Valley.
be abandoned. This question is now
pressing for an answer, and its full
import Should be understood.
The school cannot exist with the
present plant, Unattractipe and lack
ing IN size and equipment, the plant
must be Improved. or lingering death
as az school Is the inevitable result.
Every citizen of this Immediate sec
ton Is Interested in the. successful
outcome OF the effort for larger
school
There is no school of college grade
within two hundred and fifty. miles of
CANYON, county. Our population Is in
creasing by leaps and bounds. The
sage brush Is filling up with children,
who later. coming from the farms and
orchards which will have displaced
the sage brush, will demand educa-
tionaL facilities which must be pro-
videds @
The time for wise forethought and
necessary sacrifice is here. 1t will be
worse than folly to let the present
golden, opportunity slip. The pres
tige gained in eighteen years OF sue
cussfu1 work; the loyal service. and
equally loyal support which has made
the College Of Idaho stand as one Of
the pioneers in education In this state,
can not be passed to some other
school. 1t is lost.
The offer of DIR. Pearsons, of Chi
cago, to give $25, 900 for a permanent
endowment fund If $4,000 additional
could be raised, determined the .trus-
tees of the school to take all possible
steps.to secure the full sum. An ex-
perienced financial agent has been, in
the employ of the school since the Of
fer was, received and the financial
field has been carefully covered. DR.
Boone has been at work in the East
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1909-04-17

since December last and seemingly
every possible effort to secure outside
aid has been made Additional sums
have been secured from donors whose
willingness to aid the school is in it,
self a guarantee that the present cri-
sis met and passed, the future of the
school is definitely assured.
Beside DR.. Pearsons, other persons
whose names are equally connected
with large gifts to educational insti-
buttons have made pledges. Andrew
Carnegie has promised $25,000 for en-
dowment when three buildings have
been secured. A lady in Chicago has
sent her note for $4,000. John h.
Converse. of Philadelphia, is helping
us and Louis H. Severance, of Cleve-
land, has pledged us $4,000. Other no
less significant, If less known, givers
are pledged to our support, and, no
excuse, could be made If Caldwell
should fail to successfully eliminate
the canvass for funds. 70'a@-
On April LIST, the pledges received
amounted to .$126,710 The conditions
imposed, by the subscribers render it
necessary to secure $28,290 by May LIST
in order to realize on pledges amount
ing to SIPS, 900; and to realize on all
pledges thus far, additional pledges
to the amount of $4S,29O must be Sc
cured. III t90 ~
The work of securing funds in the
East will be continued to the last mo-
ment, but unfortunately, according TO
the reports received from both Drs.
Knight and Boone, conditions are
against us in that quarter and it
would appear that most of the money
needed by May list must be secured at
home. 1t is time for every one who
has any persent or prospective inter-
est in the school, to do their utmost
and not person who is a resident of
this section of the country and be-
lever in higher education should fail
to respond to the opportunity the phil

from the Secretary of the Interior
which strengthens the convictions Of
the trustees that it is not only a duty
to provide for the present needs of
the school but that plans now adopted

crease in the population of this sec

Department of the Interior, Washing
ton, D. c., December Fl, 1908.
Mr.. William j. Boone,
President, College of Idaho.
Sir,
Under the provisions of the Recla-
nation Act, the United States govern
ment has undertaken the irrigation of
about 100000 acres of land in the vi
cinity Of the Payette and Boise rivers
in Idaho. The town Of Caldwell Is To-
Gated about the center of this tract,
Up to date the government has
spent about $4,000, 900 upon this work,
and it's completion will require the
expenditure Of at least $10s000,OOO.
The soil and climate OF this section
of Idaho are peculiarly adapted to in
tensive cultivation, and 1t is expected
that this region will eventually main
tain very dense population engaged
in fruit raising and general farming
1t has been found by experience that
from 20 to 40 acres is sufficient for the
support of a family under irrigation
in this region where sufficient intelt-
gence is brought to bear upon the
problem to bring the yield up to the
possibilities.
The agricultural and horticultural
lands of this region when placed in
proper cultivation win support a pop
ulation of nearly 100000 people, in
Guiding rural and urban population.
Respectfully,
(Signed)

Growing Crop PrOsDects.

The government crop report, which
appeared yesterday, placed the con-
ditiOn of the growing wheat at 81,
compared with 81 on April last year.
The report appeared too late in the
session to have much effect on prices,
which had previously become wildly
excited in all American markets by
the remarkable advance in Liverpool
prices. While the fanciful figures to
which wheat prices have been forced
by worldwide shortage have been
highly advantageous to the. American
farmers, it is not very satisfactory to
be obliged to have the upward move
ment accelerated by short crop in
this country.
A light wheat crop in this country
entails heavy losses in a large number
Of widely divergent industries. Next
to the farmer who fails to reap his
usual harvest, the railroads suffer
the most, for moving the grain crop.
constitutes a very large percentage OF
the total business handled on many
of the roads in the West and North
west. The loss of traffic, of course,
retires many employees, and, as their
purchasing powers are curtailed
through lack of employment, other
industries suffer. The farmer reduces
his purchases in keeping with his re-
duced income, and the lumbermen
notice the decrease in a lessened de-
mand for matrial for fences, barns
houses, etc.
Improved methods of farming have
reduced liability of crop damage in
the Pacific Northwest to such an ex'
tent that failures are practically un
known, and, fortunately for Oregon
Washington and Idaho, the crop pros
poets for the three states were neve
brighter than at the present time. 4
big wheat crop at high prices means
more to the Pacific Northwest than II
any other portion of the country, fol
the reason that larger proportion o.
the crop grown is exported from these
three states than from any other par
of the United States. This year W.
have the largest acreage on rcord
and up to date weather condition
could not be better.
Based on these conditions, there i
excellent prospects for larger GRO
than was harvested in the record va
1907, when the three states produce
nearly 60,0O0,000 bushels. Even
the 1909 crop is not larger than tina
of 1907, it Is now almost certaint
that 1t will sell for much highe
4 prices. From the 1907 crop and tn
carry-over from the preceding yeal
there were exported from the thre
states nearly 47,O0O.OOO BUSHES. Thi
amount of dollar wheat sent out c
the country would bring back such a
immense amount of money that its in
fluence would be felt in every branc
of industry on the Pacific Coast.-Th
Oregonian.
