The femperature got as low as 81
degrees in Grand junction last nlght
and "a few degrees lower in severii
other sections of the valley. Whiie
the fruit was not in danger at any
time during the night, the fruit grow
ers were on the alert and so was the
weather bureau. Indications are that
the temperature may go lower tonight
than it did last night and there Is
some danger of it reaching a point
that will make smudging necessary
All growers are warned to be pre-
pared for an alarm All volunteers

WEATHER CONDITIONS.
High pressure with clear and COM
paratively cool weather prevails from
the middle and Gulf states eastward
The western area OF low pressure has
moved slowly eastward and oyeriies
the country from New Mexico east
and northeast to Minnesota, with in
creasing pressure west and north
west to the Oregon coast. Precipita-
ton has been general in the northern

From the Rocky mountain states
west the temperature has in general
fallen slightly, except at north Pa

The largest Individual bond, as
we'll as one of the most unusual, ever
filed in the local county court, was
recorded yesterday afternoon by
counsel for George Foster Peabody,
Chase Mellen and George A. Krause
of New York, executors of the Palmer
estate. The total bond is $6,4OO,OOO
or double the value of the estate as
estimated by the executors, although
the estate will probably show a value
of more than $5,000.000 when the in
ventory is filed. The largest bond
ever given here was that of $S,00O,-
600 by the executors of the Stratton
estate, but this was secured by bond

secured by the three executors and

schools; teachers review course
which is given the first 10 weeks of
the school year and repeated the last
10 weeks; a midwinter course begin
ming with the eleventh week of the
school year and extending over the
rest of the school year. With these
new courses the Albion State Normal
school is in a position to offer the
teachers of the state, and those desir-
ing to teach, almost any preparation
which they may desire for their work.
There will be a few changes in the
present faculty for tn coming year.
Miss Elizabeth Van Boskirk, the in
structor in English, has resigned and
will be married in shrot time. Miss
Eva Linville has accepted position
in the Burley public schools. All of
the other members of the faculty will
remain next year Miss Van Boskirk's
place will be taken by Professor w. d
Chadwick, who for the past three
years has been assistant professor of
English and athletic director in AL
bion college, Albion. Michigan, one of
the best of the smaller colleges in
the great lakes section. Professor
Chadwick has made a splendid repu
tation at Albion college, both as
teacher and athletic director He has
been uniformly successful in produc-
ing splendid football, baseball and
basketball teams. His teams at AL
bion college have held their own very
successfully in the intercollegiate
association. His football team has
twice tied for the championship OF
that asspciation, and his baseball
team has succeeded in refeating the /
teams of Lake Forest, Northwestern [
Olivet college, and other
institutions of equal rank His adj
vent into the state normal school fac
ulty means still greater success for
the state normal school teams, and
The boys of the school are already
making great preparations to win the

STATE NORMAL COMMENCEMENT
Graduation Exercises at the Albion
Normal. New Railroad Increas-
es Prospects for Attendance

During the past week the COM
mencement exercises of the Albion
State Normal School were held in the
state normal auditorium at Albion.
These events marked the closing Of
the fourteenth school year of this in
stitution. Hon. Edwin A. Snow, of
Boise, delivered the commencement
address. This address was a very elo-
quent and forceful appeal to the
members of the graduating class to
appreciate the dignity of their profess
sion, and the suspicious time at
which they were entering upon their
life work. His description of the
fortunate conditions in this country
as compared with those in other parts
of the world was very effective and
made a great impression upon his au-
dience. Mr. Snow and his address
will be long remembered by every
one who had the pleasure of listen
ing to it.
The class of 1909 consisted of but
four members on account of the ad-
dition of one year to the course of
study last spring. The members of
Lago, Idaho; Mae Isaacson, Bellevue,
Idaho, Florence Rea, Albion, Idaho,
and Arthur Willard, Elba, Idaho. I'm
mediately after the commencement
exercises the annual reception was
given by the alumni to the gradual
ing class in the hall of the Albion
Mercantile Company. This reception
was open to the public and was at
tended by large number of visitors
from all parts of southern Idaho. A
large number OF the alumni had
come in from other parts of the state
to attend the commencement exer-
cises.
The preceding exercises of COM
mencement week were all well attend
ed They were as follows: Friday,
June II, annual exhibition of the mo-
del cshool; Saturday, June II, annual
gold medal contest in grafton, essay,
and defamation; Sunday, June 13,
annual sermon to the graduating class,
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1909-06-24

bion; Monday, June IA, annual meet
ings of Philomathean and Emerson
ian literary societies; Tuesday, June

Tuesday, June Is, alumni banquet.
The winners in the gold medal con-
tests were as follows: Grafton, Aseal
Lowe, Ward, Idaho; essay, Effie
Chadwick, Yost, Utah; defamation,
Charles Mabbutt, Shoshone, Idaho.
The annual sermon by the Rev. E. b.
Fyke was one of the most eloquent
and forceful ever delivered in Albion,
Mr.. Fyk in his short stay at Albion
has made himself the reputation of
being one of the finast pulpit orators
in the northwest. che annual meet
ings of the two literary societies were
held in the literary society halls
which were lastly decorated for the
occasion. The two literary society
halls of the state normal school are
unquestionably the finest in the state
of Idaho. and the students take
special pride in their halls and in the
society work. During the past year
great advancement has been made by
these two societies, particularly in the
art of debating. The class play and
class exercises were very heartily en-
joyed by all. The class play was CIV
en- by the four members of the senior
class unassisted and proved particu-
larly good.
The past year has been an excep-
tionally successful one for the Albion
State Normal school. The increased
appropriations given by the last legis-
lature has resulted in plans for much
greater usefulness for the coming
year Instead of one course of study
being offered as in the past, num-
Der of courses will be offered during
the coming year. These are as fol-
lows: The complete five year course,
leading to a diploma which is a life
certificate to teach in the state of
Idaho; the secondary course of three
years, leading to a five years state
certificate; the elementary courss of
one and one-half years, leading to a
one year state certificate; a primary
method course leading to a primary
certificate in accordance with the en-
actment of the last legislature; kin
dergarten course which fully pre-
pares students for work in this i'm
portant department of the public
