view to leaving Clark for Wilson.

Placing of Player-Pianos
in Public Schools Planned

en- are forwarding it, In Boston and in
Philadelphia several large public school
buildings have been equipped with play
er-pianos by the contributions Of the
women's clubs. and in schools where they
have been provided by the school authori-
ties the Women's clubs supplement the
musical supply by additional cOntribu-
tons Now the use of the player-piano is
becoming sufficiently frequent 10 merit
some censorship over the compositions
which are suitable to public schools, and
several clubs in the federation are max
ing a study of this matter
The effect of music uI.on certain tenn
peraments is well understood, and there
are certain classical compositions OF ac-
knowledged musical value which nave
been found to have an exciting effect
upon the nervous organization OF some
children. Consequently the music to be
selected for use by the player, piano In
the public school should be of the SIM
pie pastoral type. Within few months
suggestive lists of compositions of this
nature will he available for all OF the
women's clubs.
In Boston many musical programs have
been arranged for people who could not
otherwise have enjoyed them through the
cooperation of several women clubs
with the students OF the numerous
schools OF music in that city. The club
women provide the hall and invite the
audiences and the students provide the
programs, which always include their
choicest selections. These concerts have
been numerous during the past year and
have been greatly appreciated Inc mu-
steal clubs of ST. Louis Unite in one free
concert of fine music each year which Is
given in one of the city churches and for
which tickets are carefully distributed
among people who will be most apprecia-
tive Of them.

PRELIMINARY CONTEST
WELL ATTENDED

Interest in public speaking is ex-
tremely good at the College of Idaho
this year. The debates have been of
high order and the defamation con-
tests of last Friday evening maintained
the standard set. This declamatory
contest was the preliminary for the
final league contest to be held in Cald-
we'll on the evening of March 20.
A representative in dramatic and
one in humorous defamation was
chosen on Friday evening. The dra-
matte class of eight speakers gave a
series of very fine selections. They
began with cutting from Hales-
without Country spoken by Ora
belle Raymond, extending through
such splendid selections as the Famine
song of Hiawatha, by Rae Olmstead,
George Eliots "Romola and Lavana-
rola" by Murine Hadsall, the perfect
Tribute to Lincoln" by Allie Brooks,
the Unknown Speaker" by Edwin
Newman, and others of similar merit
The attention of the audience was held
perfectly through all these long selec-
tons. The memory work of the
speakers was almost perfect.
The humorous speakers were re-
ceived as usual, with enthusiasm.
There were four and their selections
were delight. Grace Paul appeared
with a fine woman's suffrage story.
Paul Tracy, the college wit, was clear
ly speaking for an old friend when he
read one of Mark Twain's funniest,
Lost in the Snow" Carrie Bow pre-
sented in good style y negro dialect
piece and Edwin Newman appeared
again with Yankee farmer imper-
sonation.
The grading of the judges was very
close and it was only after exact figur.
ing that Newman was declared winner
in dramatic, with Rae Olmstead very
close second, and Paul Tracy first in
humorous.
We are now assured of two speakers
who will give Albion and Pocatello q
close run for honors on March %
The speaker in original Grafton will b
/ chosen this week.

Obituary.

The funeral of Lola Weymouth,
daughter of B. l.. and Mrs. DR.. Dora
A. Weymouth, of Caldwell, was held
Tuesday, March. 10, from the Christian
church, Rev. B. w. Rice officiating.
Miss Weymouth was born in Min
nesota, in 1889, moved to Caldwell
with her parents, and resided here I'M
til about five years ago, when she was
taken to California, victim of tu-
berculosis. She died at Villa Hill
Cal, July %, 1909, at the age of 70
years and II days, and was buried
there, afterwards being taken up and
removed to this city for permanent
interment.
The delay in funeral services was
due to the pathetic request on the part
of the dying girl, that her old pastor
and friend, Rev. B. w. Rice, should
preach her funeral sermon and the
funeral was deferred until the remov-
al of the remains to Caldwell should
render possible compliance with this
request. The casket was received
and held at the undertaking parlors
of Platt & Peckham, and from there
to the church for service. Intermen'
was made in Canyon Hill cemetery.

FARGO ITEMS

The adjourned meeting from the
Fargo school house was called Satur-
day evening at Fair Acres grange hall.
Amos Miller was chosen chairman and
Mr.. Burnes secretary A permanent
organization was the first on the pro-
gram Five were elected as the cam
paign committee. Fargo, Deer Flat,
Golden Gate, Greenleaf, Fair Acres
are represented on the committee by
some of the best men in their locali-
ties. Intense interest was manifested
all through the meeting. The matter
of a platform was discussed, but the
matter was left for the candidate to
state his position. A ballot was taken
for candidate. Over 90 votes were
cast. F. w. Tarr received over go,
and was declared to be our candidate.
His name will go before the primaries.
Let everyone give Mr.. Tarr his or her
support. Mr.. Tarr did not seek the
honor that is thrust upon him but has
consented to take it for the good of
the farmers. No better selection could
have been made, but some one else
might have been chosen equally as
competent. We have put Mr.. Tarr in
the field and he will make a big sacri-
flee for the common good, so let every
one appoint himself committe OF one
to see that his election is certain.
Take a chance on man you know
rather than with someone whom you
have but a slight acquaintance. A
thorough organization will be effected,
so let's get down to work and not let
up until the polls close in November,

Government Will Start Work At Once
on Monster Ditch From Lower EN-
bankment.

A big drainage canal from the
Lower Deer Flat Embankment is now
assured and the excavation will begin
at least by April l. John Bailey, who
will have charge of the work was in
town today and he stated that the
dredge line excavator that has been
unloaded at Caldwell will be put into
commission as fast as possible and it
will be started at least by the first of
the month 1t is not dredge but
will do a heavy work, being monster
piece of machinery. 1t works from
the lower end of the canal upward in
stead of dredging from the dam to
the lower outlet.
Mr.. Bailey says that test pits have
been sunk all along the way and he is
fully convinced that the proposed
canal will be wonderful relief to the
entire section. He explains why there
is every reason to believe the big drain
canal will do the work and those who
are at all skeptical in the matter could
gain some pointers by looking up the
matter in detail.
The excavation for the canal will
require the movement of $4,000 yards
of material and the work will require
from six months to year. When
finished the canal will be eleven feet
deep or to gravel all the way. 1t is
from the gravel that the relief of the
water logged land is to come accord
ing to expert opinion. The work will
be started just above the Caldwell
High Line lateral of the Phyllis and
will follow the low ground to the dam,
a distance of nearly five miles.-Cald-

M'KINLEY OPPOSED
TO THIRD TERM,


On June II, 1901, William McKin-
ley, who had been reelected for a
second term and who had been urged
by some Republican leaders to stand
for a third term, made the following
announcement to the people through
the newspapers and himself handed
it to the Washington correspondent
of the Eagle that day:
Executive Mansion, Washington.
t. June 10, 1901
regret that the suggestion of a
third term has been made. doubt
whether l am called upon to give it
notice, but there are new questions Of
the gravest Importance before the ad-
ministration and the country, and
their Just consideration should not be
prejudiced in the public mind by even
the suspicion of the thought OF third
term.
In view, therefore, of the reitera-
ton of the suggestion of it, will say
now once for all, expressing long
settled conviction. that not only am
not and will not be a candidate for a
third term, but I would not accept a
nomination for it if it were rendered
to me.
NV only ambition is to serve
through my second term to the &C
ceptance of my countrymen, whose
generous confidence so deeply ap-
preciate, and then with them to dc
my duty in the ranks of private citi-
zenship.
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
In September 1901, following this
statement of June 10. President Nc
Kinley was assassinated and Vice
President Roosevelt entered on his
first term as president. After his cleo
ton to a second term in 1904, Presi

extracts needs any more comment
than they make of themselves to an,
candid and intelligent mind.
