LANsDON REINsTATED
Order Calling on Election to Name
Successor.

The trend of development in the
Lansdon case which was the out
growth of the dismissal of Robert
Lansdon as a colonel OF the Second
Regiment, Idaho National Guard. by
former Governor Brady, because Of
failure upon his part to comply with
the order requiring all officers to
take an examination, seems to IN
dictate that Colonel Lansdon is to be
reinstated and retained by Cove e
nor Hawley's administration in his
former military capicity.
Immediately following Colonel
Lansdon's dismissal an order was
issued by Adjutant General Rowe
calling an election for the purpose
Of electing a colonel to fill the va
cancy thus created. but the follow
ing order has been issued, by Ad-
utant General Mccall, General Rowe's
successor.
State of Idaho. Adjutant Generals
office, Boise, Idaho. January II,
1911. General Orders No. 2.
1. 1t appearing to the command
er-in-chief that the election to fill
the Office of colonel, Second infantry
Idaho National Guard, as provided
for in general orders No. 80 this Of
fee, series lyAv, and as postponed
by general orders No. 80, this Office
same series, might with profit to the
discipline and efficiency of the ma
tional guard be further delayed, sucr
election is hereby postponed unit
further orders from this Office.
2. The votes heretofore cast arr
hereby cancelled and annulled an6
will be destroyed unopened in the
presence of the board ordered to can
vass the votes cast at this election
BY order of the governor.
F. A. MCALL,
The Adjutant General
(OficiaD
lWOODSON JEFFREYS,
Adiutant General
The inference is that another or
der from the adputant general will
follow this to the effect that Colon
Lansdon's dismissal was illegal, AM
that he is in command of the regi
ment.

Lewiston, January 15th.-The OPP
ening of the new year at the Lewis
ton State Normal School his resulted
in bringing a further increase in the
alreay large enrolment of that in
stitution. At the presednt time over
two hundred eighty students are en-
rolled and it is expected that the to-
tai enrolment for 1901 will be
three hundred fifty.
It is a fact too, Of further interest
that the average mileage for the
student body of the Lewiston Normal
is greater than for any other Normal
in the West today. Last year the av-
erage mileage for the student body
of the Normal at Lewiston was 1875
miles. This year it is 1884 miles,
that is the average distance travel
ed by each student at the Normal in
going to school is 1884 miles. This
mileage has been reckoned on the
basis of the entire student body in
Guiding those who live in the citl of
Lewiston ana who attend the Nor
NAL. Excluding students whose home
residence is in Lewiston the average
mileage is about two hundred twenty
miles.
Of the students whose homes are
outside of Lewiston, many come from
not only various sections of Idaho,
both north and south, but from other
states as well. The following towns in
Idaho are represented at the Normal
by from one to nine studen-7; Boise,
Caldwell, Spirit Lake, C-if71. South

The students from out of the state
come from the following points, Spo-
kane, Charleston, Palouse, Spangle,
Garfield, Rosalia, Cloverland, Wash
ington. Weston, Athena, Grouse, En-
r terprise, Joseph, Portland. Oregon;
Ackley, Iowa; Valley City, North

: Michigan; Foxcroft, Maine.
! Miss Alice Mcdonald of Salmon
City, Idaho, is the Idaho student who
travels the greatest distances in or
der to attend the Lewiston Normal,
, coming as she does by rail nearly
3 one thousand miles Among those
who come great distances is Miss
Sarah r. Hughes. of Foxcroft, Maine,
who comes the longest distance, tray
cling more than $500 miles.
The high average mileage of the
! student body at Lewiston is signif-
icant, for students only travel great
distances to go to school when they
d wish to obtain the best advantages
+ Within the past three years the Lew
, iston State Normal has increased per-
ceptibly in its enrolment. from one
hundred seventy two in 19O7-S to an
p estimated enrolment for 1901 OF
three hundred fifty.

NATIONAL FARMERS UN-
ION.

In an address at the opening OF
the National Farmers Union
meeting at Shawnee, Oklahoma,
on September 5, President T. ].
Brooks, of Tennessee, said that
the farmers must begin at once to
change their business methods and
assist one another or they will
soon be the playtllings of ''the in
tcrcsts.' United States Senator
T. P. Cove agreed with Mr..
Brooks that the farmers are los
ing billion dollars yearly through
lack of cooperative methods.
