Looking for Varsity Head.

1.-The state board of education is
earnestly prosecuting it's search for a
university president. The difficulty OF
the task is indicated by the fact that
five other important institutions are
without presidents, and in some cases,
have been so for a longer time than
Idaho. 1t will be asked, why should
presidential timber be so rare? The
answer is that such heavy and varied
responsibilities are laid upon the pres
ident of modern university. He must
make good with students, professors,
the school people Of the state, the
state authorities, and the general pub
lie. He must be scholar in order
to direct the educational work of the
institution, business man to admin
ster it's finances, a good speaker to
each the business man to administer
is finances, good speaker to reach
he public, and man of affairs to
make the university power in the
tate.

Study Cost of Education.

1.-THE state board of education has
begun a careful study of the cost of
education, both in the state institutions
and in public schools. The work was
undertaken at the suggestion of the
commissioner and was carried on first
by Mr.. Kennedy, the special auditor
employed by the board to expert the
accounts of the university and Lewis
ton normal school. 1t will be car
ried on now mainly by Mr.. R. T..
Bickell, the regular auditor of the
board. 1t ought to be added that no
final results have yet been computed
nor has the matter been passed On by
the board; it is expected that such re-
suits will be reached in the near fu-
ture, and will be of great value in
planning the educational work Of the
state.

Young Man Beloved by All Who
Knew him Called to Long Home.
Melvin d. Blois died at the resi-
dence of W. r. BIrnitt on North
Washington street in this city short
ly after o'clock yesterday after
noon, at the age OF 21 years, after q
lingering illness with Bright's dis
ease.
Deceased was well and favorably
known to the people of Ardmore. He
was a nephew of Mrs. WI r. Burnitt
Mr.. Blois was barely q years of age,
having reached his majority on last
Friday. For a number of years he
has been in failing health and sew
Jral months ago went to Arizona,
hoping the change of climate would
benefit him. Finding that he grad
ually grew worse the young man re-
turned to Ardmore two weeks ago.
After his return he grew rapidly
worse until the end came, quietly
and peacefully yesterday evening.
Two sisters, Mrs. Walter Buchanan
Of Marietta and Miss Mignan Blois of
Ardmore, and an aunt, Mrs. W. r.
Burnitt CT Ardmore, are among the
surviving relatives.
Funeral services were held from
the family residence of Mr.. Burnitt

Melvin Blois' death marks the end
Of a youthful and unselfish career.
1t may be truthfully said of him that
he lived his short life in an effort
TO make others happy; lived it with
out selfish thought or deed and
rassed to a prematurely early grave
beloved and mourned sincerely by all |
who had known and associated with |
him in life. In early life he espoused |
The cause of Christianity became a
of the Presbyterian faith |
md lived throughout his brief mortal
existence a sincere and devout Chris
ian life.

structicn work in excess of the orig-

we're incurred after the original APP
preparation was exhausted is the
reason given by the governor for We

. A DOGS TALE
Dedicated to CAPTAIN BAUGHMAN of the good ship Humboldt

the mate go about the upper deck kicking the 200 or more chained dogs, each one in it's turn; no fair reader. it was a humane act he was performing. In those days, the days of '97, each ship leaving the port of Seattle, in addition to the gold seekers, as many as 300 dogs were also shipped, and as the ships reached the narrow waters of the Inside Passage, oftentimes the pilots were reduced to the expediency of blowing the ships steam whistle in order to find how close their ship was to the treacherous rocks, when the dense logs would enshrOud their craft, and it was then that these same dogs would set up such an un- earthly howl that the answering echo, which was eagerly hearkened for, would be drowned.
 There was only one way to pre- vent the mongrel hord of deck pas sengers from answering in their dumb manner the shriu vail of the steam whistle, and that was to ere ate a sense of fear, and this the mate would do with his heavy boot, end just refore the whistle was blown, he would open the window Of the pilot house and yell at the dogs, and they would lay and cover in the dark tTd danlprGss, while the echo from the shore was heard by those looking for the safety of their boat and passengers.

There are some unpronouhceao'e names in the United states. From Schenectady to Wytopitlock there are A few linguistic sQuirms that bid us pause. But for complete para lysis of the vocal chords listen to these place names from the various

 South Wales there are scores of eN- traordiuary names, such as Cuppa- cumbaIoug and Jerrabomderra, near Oueanbeyau. Timbriebungie, Watta- mondarra. MuIleugudgerry, Barran- ganyatti, and the familiar Woolloo- mooloo. Who, after these, would say that American names are ugly?

Captain Baughman of the Hum boldt. himself an old sea dog, has but little admiration for the common dog Of the canine species. There is a reason for it. His is an acquired not a natural animosity toward dog kind. as will be seen by the follow ing story, written by one who heard the Captain tell 1t:
 Take that, and that,' and that,!! you sons of brutes," hOwled the first mate of the SS. Humboldt, as that vessel slowly felt its way up the unfamiliar waters of the in side passage in the early days of the great rush to the KlOndike in 1897.
 With each shout of the burly mate. a form couched on the deck of the ship could hear the heavy sea-boOt of the infuriated officer come in contact with a yielding form, and while many times there was no sound of remOnstrance, still once in while a growl of pain or hatred could be heard through the thick cloud of fog which obscured the shore line and even the bow of the ship from the watchful gaze of the pilots in the pilot house of the ship carrying it's freight of humans, mad with the lust for gold, and crowded into the ship taxing its ac- ccmmodauous to the very utmost.

 Why" exclaimed Secretary Fish CT. after he had got his breath, that is an insult to a cabinet of ficer."
 Not at all, retorted the Ari- zoua Senator. "I am only speak ing the truth. You admit by what you have told me that you know nothing of the conditions in the mining states, and that you never tried a mining case. have asked you if you know the meaning of a half dozen terms used in mining and you say you do not. Doesn't that prove your incompetency?"
 The secretary used some forceful language, but Senator Ashurst maintained his good nature and merely emphasized his original state ment.
 Secretary Fisher had ruled that there could be no prospecting for valuable minerals as practiced for more than a quarter of a century; that the miner must discover 1t on the surface and not sink any shafts.
 The ruling is said to be in the interest of the corporations against the poor miner.

OLD YEAR is BID FAREWELL AND

USUAL DIN-MANY PEOPLE ON
STREETS.

With the booming of fireworks, with
a din produced by sirens on a large
fleet Of steamships, by the blowing Of
locomotive whistles, ringing of the bell
on the city tower and other bells, the
screaching Of whistles on scores of tug
boats and other craft and with q racket
made by the use Of noise making de-
vices of all kinds, the people Of Pen
sacola last night bade farewell to the
year 1912 and welcomed 1918, the
noise beginning about three minutes be-
fore midnight and continuing about
ten minutes past that hour.
New Years eve passed without
hardly any disorder, considering the
large number Of people on the streets
both in the evening and until late
hour last night.
Only few arrests were made by the
police, all of the violators being taken
in custody on minor charges. In near
ly every instance the charge docketed
against defendants last night is for
either being drunk or disorderly con-
duct.
