Days." the opportunity to witness the
demonstration of the latest in improv-
ed farm machinery, and see the new
John Deere Binder, which was afford
ed by the Butterfield-E Elder company
yesterday and today.
The farmers were not the only
ones present Yesterday Professor
Hamilton of the department of farm
engineering at the university, siezed
the opportunity and brought his class
down to the demonstration to see the
latest in farm machinery.
The demonstration was so similar to
the movable schools" and "insti-
tutes" of the university, that the re-
semblance was striking. There were
factory experts and mechanical and
farm engineers, who had been sent
out by the John Deere company to
explain Ine HlefllS anu Tie uses vi
the different machines shown.

sides the Butterfield-Elde force in

IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS
TO STATE LAND LAWS

Under the law as it now stands the
buyer will simply have to make his
first payment and thereafter keep his
interest paid as no principal will be-
come due for ten years If the buyer
will keep on improving the land.
Mr.. Oversmith expects to interest
all the commercial bodies in the In
land Empire in these cut-over lands
and claims to have the assurance that
the railroads will do their part in ad-
yertising this feature throughout the
east.
ut will mean hundreds of new set
tiers in Latah county within the next
two years and will bring class OF
citizens who will be credit to the
state" is the way Latah county's re-
turned representative desired to be
quoted on this question,

One OF the most important laws
passed by the recent session OF the
legislature~swas an amendment reg
ulating the sale OF state lands. The
bill was drawn by Representative
Oversmith and provides that where
the purchaser of state land improves
the land to the extent OF one-tenth OF
the purchase price he will not be ask
ed to pay any principal in the year
in which he makes the improvement.
According to the information given by
Mr.. Oversmith this will be of great
aid to the state in disposing OF It's
grant lands, especially in Latah coun-
ty where the state now owns prac-
tically 10000 acres Of cut-over lands.
Theae lahds will probably be put on
!. the. market during the coming year
and will be very attractive to the
man Of small means.

LOW WAGES OF WOMEN ARE UP TO WILSON,
BEAUTIFUL ROOM
IS new AUDITORIUM

''The most beautiful room in the
Inland Empire"
| These words characterize the audi
torium in the new wing of the admin
istration building at the university,
which is just being completed.
The Tudor-Gothic architecture of the
administration building is seen in it's
full flower in the beauty of the audi
torium. The beautifully carved beams
of the lofty ceiling, the soft-toned
glass of the cathedral windows, the
beautiful suspended electroliers, and
the wrought iron effect of the wall
brackets for lighting unite with the
soft tones of the wall colors in a
splendid harmony that is unique in
public structures in the Inland En-
pire.
But besides the beauty of the room
itself, and its splendid acoustic prop
critics, which are evident event in it's
present unfinished state, it is most
The auditorium is of a size of 147
feet inches by 46 feet inches in
area, and slopes gently toward the
stage, with an orchestra pit, in a way
to give good seats to everyone. With
wide aisles between the of seats it
will provide for over 1000 people. The
|seats are the regular auditorium chairs
except that they are noiseless and
wider than is usual. The rooms
