of the committee that this club take
such action. The discussion of the
matter waxed strong, opinions for and
against flying around in great shape.
1t becoming apparent that the club
could not be stung for more than SIS
per year, the majority of those present
deemed it advisable that Caldwell
should have some say in the disposal of
any appropriation made by the legisla-
ture for the San Francisco, San Diego
and Lewiston expositions in 1915. Mr..
Hasbrouck is chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the League at pres
ent, and he paid glowing tributes to the
very splendid work of Secretary Glib
bons in the meeting at Boise.

weeks.
County Treasurer Will Monk ap-
peared and replied to the talk made by
Mr.. Christopher against the proposed
amendment to be voted on atsthe fall
election, whereby the office of tax
collector is to be transferred to the
treasurer's departement.
Mr.. Monk said he was surprised to
hear that Mr.. Christopher had spoken
against the amendment, and gave
some very cogent reasons why this
amendment should receive the hearty
support of the people.
Uncle Sans Horse Man.
Capt. Howard, one of the guests of
the evening, at the request of the pres
ident, made short and very enter
tanning. address, The subject of his
remarks was the horse. Capt How
ard is in charge of 10000 acre ranch
on the site of old Fort Keogh, near
Miles City, Mont He is giving his
time and attention to the purchasing
and training of horses for use in I'm
Gle Sans fighting force. Under the
old contract system conditions arose
that were not at all satisfactory. Capt
Howard has systemized this branch
of the service, and now purchases
preferably green and unframed horses
of the right type and sees that they
are trained properly. By this system
Uncle Sam is enabled to pay better
prices for. his horses and yet save a
very large sum yearly
400 acres of the big ranch are under
cultivation, and 1000 horses are turned
into the service from this place. The
government buys some 5000 horses an
nually, avery small percentage of the
100000 horses of the country-and
yet it is hard to get 5000 of the right
type. The horses for service must be
OF short back, plenty of room for food
and yet be able to go on .protracted
marches on short rations. The ole
Morgan type, now nearly extinct, is
the horse par excellence for military
purposes. A descendant of the ole
hero is now owned by the government
and is stationed in Vermont where fire.,
service is established in the hope O.
breeding this type to standard ono,
more. Any of the ordinary breeds
will answer when crossed with tn,
standard horse, just so that the result
is approximate to the type needed, a
put forth above.
Questioned regarding the Kansa
epidemic among horses, Capt. How
ard said that the horses had recovere,
when taken off pasture and put OF
dry feed. Mr.. Nichol told of tn
new serum that was being used in hi
old county in Iowa that was bringin,
relief to nearly all of the cases upo,
which it had been tried.
Mr.. Lewis, on behalf of the Noun
tain States Telephone & Telegraph
Co, paid delicate and much appre
ciated tribute to the good taste o
fellowship to be found amounp tn
members of the club.
Alter few remarks by DR.. Cue, IN
meeting adjourned.
