The Larger Need.

Although the dean will at first con-
centrate his energies on an attempt
to get the $4,000 to complete the Ma
tional series, he does not for one mo-
ment intend to lose sight, or allow
others to lose sight, of the larger need
and the larger endeavor to supply that
need.
The initial step in what he hopes to
make a large and comprehensive
movement to obtain permanent en-
dowment without asking legislative
appropriation will be taken, it is
expected, in Boise this week. The
friendly attitude of the many mem
bers of the Ada County Bar associa-
ton toward the plan he lately outlin-
ed for some of them has encouraged
him to hope that great things will
come of the address he has been in
yited to deliver before that body. AS
the membership includes nearly 125
lawyers among whom are some of the
most distinguished and broad-minded
attorneys in the state, their endorse

ENDOWMENT FUND
FOR LAW LIBRARY
GOAL SET BY DEAN AYERS IN
PLANS FOR INCREASING En-
TENT OF LIBRARY.
Idaho Law School Only Has HOO Vol
umes, Must Have at Least 5OOO-
Getting Much Encouragement.

If the well-laid plans of Dean
Ayers do not gang agley' the law
school of the University of Ida
ho will soon not only have a valua-
BILE library numbering many thou
sands of volumes, but it's adequate
maintenance both in the matter of
salaries and equipment will depend
not upon appropriations from the leg
islature but upon the income from
a permanent endowment fund which
the dean hopes to secure from friends
of the school both within and with
out the state.
Such is the comprehensive plan of
the dean. The task would perhaps
seem stupendous to person OF less
genuine optimism, energy, faith in the
merits of his cause, and confidence
in the latent generosity of the people
at large.
At the request of The Star-Mirror,
Dean Ayers has given in an interview
some interesting information in re-
gard to the present status of the Col
lege of Law and to the details of the
course he so vigorously and cheer
fully intends to pursue
The New Library.
The law library now contains in
stead of the 5000 volumes needed,
merely 100 volumes. These were in
the main bought from the funds ap-
propriated by the state legislature at
the outset. They were selected by
Judge John MacLane, then dean OF

list almost exclusively of the Pacific

Western states. The dean is most
nxious to complete the series and put
t the command of his students all of
he series included in the National
ystem This would require, at
ough estimate, the sum of $4,000.
,ean Ayers also feels that even then
yailable references will not be ade-
uate until he has purchased the t

nd also all the English reports. To

no remote time to receive for the

900.

YOUTH BLASTING STUMPS
MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH
FRANCIS OLSON CAUGHT BY DYNAMITE BLAST
WAS HURLED 200 FEET IN THE AIR.
BODY WAS SEVERELY MANGIED
His Companion Harry Clark Had Ran to Safety and
Knew Nothing of the Fatal Accident-Avon
Pioneer Dead

I DEARY, Mar. "a. - (Specian-
Francis Olson, young man aged 20.
last evening met violent death near
mere on the county road just south of
the Peter Dalberg place, where he was
engaged with a companion, Harry
Clark. in blowing out stumps with
giant powder. Olson was horribly
mangled and though he and Clark were
together when the fuses were laid. and
had both run to a place of safety, the
circumstances leading to the tragedy
will probably never be known as
Clark had no knowledge of how Olson
came to his death.
Two Men Working.
According to the story of Clark
they were both working on the road
and had prepared the blasts tor two
stumps, one with a 14-inch fuse and
the other with an 1S-inch fuse, thus
expecting one blast to follow the other,
both being lighted at the same moment.
So soon as the fuses were hgnle..
Clark and Olson ran in opposite direc-
tions to places of safety Within a
minute and half the first blast went
off which was followed by the other
a half minute later. AS the smoke
cleared away Clark whistled a signal
to Olson and on receiving no response
went to where the stumps were To-
Gated. He found Olson's hat band but
saw nothing of Olson Becoming
alarmed he ran to the Peter Dalberg
home nearby and called for help.
Several parties joined in the search
and Mr.. Dalberg found Olson's body
700 feet from the stumps, horribly
nangled. He was dead.
Received Dynamite Charge.
The theory is that Olson, after the
irst blast had been fired thought tho
'ther had gone off and returned to the
tump in time to receive the full force

y plea for more backbone" on the

forcement Of the law against sale Of
liquor was made by DR.. p. A, Bakor,
OF Columbus, ohio, president OF the
National Anti Saloon League. in an
address at the Wesley Memorial
Church Sunday afternoon.
Liquor Is the cause of more law
essness than any other agency of the
devil in the land" said Dr. Baker,
and If the business men of the city
would stand up in a manly manner
and determine to stamp out the evil,
1t could be done in a short time.
But business men of to- day are
weak kneed and lack backbone when
ever the prohibition question is APP
preached. They seem to hold the i'm
preston that the abolition of liquor
will affect their interests.
ANY citizen who Is a member OF a
social club selling liquor is showing a
lack of backbone He Is doing more
to spread the evil results of liquor
than any dirty bartender who dopes
out the poison over the counter. send

Or, Baker urged the foes of liquor
