UNIVERSITY SQUABBLE
Still GOES MERRILY On

The agitation in Moscow over the
dismissal of the University teacher
goes merrily on. The last issue of
the Moscow Star-Mirror lad the fol-
lowing anent the recent resignation
of Prof. Elias Nelson of the Caldwell
Experiment Station:
In some quarters an effort is being
made to mislead the people as re-
CARDS the reason for the resignation of
Prof. Nelson, in charge of the state
experiment station at Caldwell, an
auxiliary of the agricultural college
at Moscow. 1t is known that certain
Of the station professors who were
recently fired have written to this
effect, and are trying to make it APP
pear that the reason for tie resigna-
ton of Prof. Nelson is because of the
alleged hostility of Prof. ]. A. Mac
Lean of the University to agriculture.
That there is no truth in such state
ments is shown from the letters of
Prof. Nelson, who has written regard
ing the resignation to Dean Elliott of
the agricultural college. Here is
what the professor says:
Caldwell, Idaho, Nov. II, '09.
Prof. E. E. Elliott, Moscow, Idaho.
Dear Prof. Elliott:-I am sending
my resignation to President MacLean
by today's mail. I have resigned to
accept a position with ]. J. Allison
and associates and to take charge of
the preparation of the land, laying
out bitches and planting the trees on
their lands near Council and else
where.
am very anxious to maintain cor
dial relations with the University and
the men of the Experiment Station,
and shall appreciate anything you can
do along that line.
shall see the building completed,
prepare my report for the past sea-
sons work and leave the station rec
ords and everything here in the best
shape for my successor.
ELIAS NELSON.

WILL RECLAIM
ROSWELL LAND

A number of prominent citizens of
Roswell have undertaken to reclaim
by irrigation a tract of land near
Roswell amounting to 1000 acres
known as Roswell Park.
Arthur Milliken, formerly engaged
in the engineering work for the Black
Canyon Irrigation District, is now
employed in dividing up the tract in
to s acre plots, which will be placed
on the market as soon as the work is
completed. The land contained in
this big tract will be served with
water from the Riverside ditch and
the water will be carried over by
means of three-foOt reinforced con-
crete inverted syphon $500 feet long.
The contract for bringing the water
to the land has been let to a Los
Angeles firm and work on the propo-
sition will be begun as soon as the
weather will permit.
This tract of land has long been
considered one of the finest tracts in
the southern part of Idaho and Gull
tivation is particularly pleasing to
the many who have been in search
of small tracts of fruit land. AL
though the land is not yet plated
and absolutely no advertising has been
done, about 80 of these tracts have
been disposed of.

P.L. D. ELECTION
NEXT TUESDAY

Once again, but for the last time
this year, The Tribune urges the peo-
pie living in the Pioneer Irrigation
District to register for and to vote
at the election to be held Tuesday,
December 14th. This election is for
the purpose of electing one director
to succeed Mr.. N. S. Dis. There are
two candidates in the field. They are
Messrs. T. z. Morse and Arthur G.
Street. Mr.. ]. S. Semones was a
candidate but he has withdrawn in
favor of Mr.. Street. The Tribune
contents itself with urging the i'm
portance of this election. The matter
Of irrigation and the conduct of the
District is very important to every
person living under the Pioneer sys-
TEN. The farmers and the people of
Caldwell are vitality concerned. We
do not know the policy of either of
the avowed candidates. Probably
neither has any very we'll defined line
of action to propose. The people will
have to size up the two men and vote
for him who comes nearer meeting
their idea of what a director should
be. The two men are well known and
the people should need no advice. In
order to vote you must register. To-
day is the last day on which you can
register. If you want to vote you
must register today. Remember that.

With it's army of 720 retalners, PRO
lessor Napoleon" Is at last ready for the
initial performance of that great col
lege opera at the Temple Auditorium
tomorrow night. Five performances In
all are scheduled, and judging from the
crowds which stormed the box office all

ing a musical and artistic triumph.

Quoted morning, afternoon and night.
The rehearsal last night commenced on
the stage after the concert was over
and lasted until long after midnight.
All of the 720 are now perfect in their
parts. Their intricate steps, pretty
poses and tuneful choruses have been
well learned. They only await the time
of the performance tomorrow night to
show what Los Angeles talent really
can do.
Beautiful souvenir programs are De-
ing prepared for the occasion, and
Professor Napoleon souvenir post
cards are displayed in many of the
shop windows.
At $3.50 o'clock this afternoon an auto

Across the hills there hangs an azure

And echo answers all sounds readily,
As though the world. too. heaves a sob

And we reflect we're nearer 10 the time
When hearts shall feel no chill as Of the
