125th anniversary of the
founding OF the Santa Bar
bara mission, when thousands
OF people from every city in
the state participated in the services.
Is evidence that California has awak-
ened to the necessity Of preserving
these rapidly decaying memorials of
her early history. Italy has its ruins,
its coliseum and it's Forum; Germany
Its ancient castles that hide among
the crags of the Rhine; France, its
beautiful chateaux of Touraine and
Normandy; and Spain, its slumbering
Alhambra, whose fountains have long
since ceased TO flow. With equal pride
California points TO the ruins of its
Spanish Missions. True, they cannot
boast of great antiquity, neither do
they tell of nations fought and con-
quered; their tale is of the heroic
deeds of noble men, who yielded fame
and fortune and sometimes life itself
for the glorification of God in the
then heathen land. There lies about
these ruins an air of subdued solem-
nifty; the effect upon the mind of the
beholder is elevating. There come be-
fore one visions OF the patient plod
ding padre, toiling on from year to
year, unmindful OF his disappoint-
ments and deprivations-preaching
baptizing, confirming, amounting. and
when at last his earthly toll was end
ed. here he laid him down amid the
scenes Of his labors. far from his kith
and kin, and the land of his birth.
These crumbling walls that enclose
his sepulchre are mute monuments to
his greatness.
Strange as it may seem In modern
days, California owes its place in the
North American Union of states to
Spain and the Franciscan mission
fathers. 1t had always been the in
tention of Spain TO colonize Alta or
Higher California, but the pressure of
events elsewhere had prevented.
About 1860 the slow but steady prog
ress southwark Of the Russians. who
had already established themselves in
Alaska, brought the Spanish king 10

| have noticed that horses when they
are compelled to remain in the open cold
turn their heads to the wind, and it seems
to me that they stand in this way because
they thus present the least heat surface of
their body to the cold
And also in this attitude they secure the
greatest possible natural protection from
their hairy coats, inasmuch as, the wind
forces the individual hairs more closely
against the body.
If this looks reasonable to teamsters,
they should turn their horses heads to the
cold wind every time possible.

when the latter severed her relations
with Spain. and was seized by the
United States in the Mexican war OF
1916, finally becoming an integral part
of the United States territory. Two
years afterward gold was discovered.
Had the Russians gained foothold
in Callfornia-they did penetrate
within 81 few miles of San Francisco
prior to tse Spanish Franciscans. it
is scarcsly possible that they would
have rel.nquished the natural advap-

trolled California when gold was dis
covered. the territory would never
have been given up, for the United
States has had no occasion to go to
war with Russia. This interesting

to appear before the National Ed

church in the interest of the col

church in southern Idaho. A con-
ference was had yesterday morn
ing and Emmett's proposition plac-
ed before them. A site, consist
ing o. 40 acres of the Dedman land
at the end of Main street, and
every alternate lot in 20 acres
adjoining constituted the bid for
this institution. The committee
also promised financial aid, but
was unable at that time to state
a definite amount. Rivalry for
the location of this college is
very strong. Payette has made
an offer of 100000, and Emmett
will favor Payette if it cannot be
brought here. Boise, Caldwell,

Idaho Falls and other towns are
after the school. A decision may
not be rendered for some time,
