TRIBUTE OF STUDENT BODY

! In view Of the fact that we, stu
dents of the University of Idaho
recognize the splendid qualities OF
President Melvin A. Brannon; his
zeal and faithfulness as chief ex-
ecutive; his sagacity and far
sightedness as an organizer, and
above all, his honesty and impair
tiality as a man and friend;
In view of the fact that we are
all pleased with the excellent re-
| forms he has begun, with the real
spirit of Idaho he has helped to
make manifest, and with the har-
mony he has brought about
throughout all departments of the
institution and all phases OF stu
dent activity and organization;
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That
We express to the Board of Educa
ton our sincere sorrow and anXi-
ETY. caused by the news that Pres
ident Brannon has placed his res
ignation in their hands;
And we respectfully petition that
our feelings be considered before it
is determined whether the resigna-
ton shall be accepted, for we feel
that the loss of such an excellent
executive as DR. Brannon has PROV
ed himself to be would be a very
great setback to the progress
education in Idaho.

c. A. HAGAN TODAY ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF THE MOSCOW
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Newly Elected Officers and Directors
Didn't Have Time to Protest Against
Their Own Selection

With a steam roller in finest work
ing order, the Chamber of Commerce
today surprised a number of its mem
bers by electing them to offices in the
organization without giving them any
chance to protest against the arbitr-
airy methods of the operators.
Following a short address by the
retiring president, B. 7. Byrns, in
which he expressed his appreciation
of the honor conferred upon him a
year ago today and of the co-opera-
tion of other officers and the mem
bers of the Chamber with him during
the past year, G. "A. Hagan was nom
mated for the presidency, the nom
ination was seconded, nominations
were closed, and the Secretary was
instructed to cast a unanimous ballot
for him before he could get the rec
ognition of the chair in an effort to
decline the office.
By a like process, Phillip Soulen
was elected vice-president, w. l..
Payne, treasurer, and G. A. Frantz,
Homer David, John Lieuailen, and S.
3. Hutton were elected members of
he board of directors.
The licensed roller crew seemed to
include NJ E. Lewis, Charles Thomp-
ION, Jonathan Watson, R. Hodgins, c.
B. Green, T. A. Meeker, H. Melgard,
md G. P Mix. 1t is understood that
ONE of the persons who were steam
oiled today had entertained an opin-
on that they were on the crew un-
il the machine started.

The estimate placed by the Con-
gress of the United States on the
Importance of the celebration to be
held at Lewiston on May Sd to COM
memorate the completion of the
Dalles-Celilo canal is evinced by the
fact that twelve members of congress
will officially represent the govern
ment at the celebration. This par
ticipation was provided for in a Joint
resolution passed by congress au-
thorizing the appointment of nine
members of the house and three mem
1 bers of the United States senate to
comprise the delegation. Announce
ment of the appointees will be made
by the vice president and speaker of
the house the present week.
The river celebration has now as :
sumed such scope that estimate is
made that Lewiston will ,entertain
on that date from ten to fifteen thou
sand visitors and these will represent
practically every state in the Union

/ large numbers of people from the
eastern and southern states enroute
to the San Francisco exposition are ar
ranging their itinerary to incidental
ly attend the waterways celebration
and thus have an opportunity to inspect

by the war department now being as
sured, this means that all the river
improvement craft of that department
will also be assembled at Lewiston
to supplement the commercial and
pleasure. efeet.s>~s,sss ss~-.s--.Aa ,-s
Among the steamers to come from
Portland to Lewiston on the initial
trip through the canal will be the

tioHs for the up-river trip of these
boats to Lewiston have already been
spoken for, which illustrates the wide

Twenty-Five cities and towns have no
titled the Lewiston committees that

CLOSING DAYS OF
MEMORABLE CAREER
MAYOR CARTER II. HARRISON OF
CHICAGO WILL SOON END FIVE
TERM POSITION
Women Of Chicago VIII Vote for First
Time in Municipal Election Which
is Being Held Today
By the United Press Associations.

By the United Press Associations
CHICAGO, April 6.-Today's muni-
cipal election marks the passing from
public life, probably forever, of Carter
H. Harrison, mayor of Chicago. Son
of Carter H. Harrison the first, who
was assassinated while serving as
Worlds Fair Mayor of Chicago, in
1893, Harrison II equalled his fathers
record of 5 terms and actually served
two more years than his father, as his
last term was for four years, while
his fathers five terms and his own
first four were of two years each.
Harrison lost the Democratic nomi-
nation to Robt. M. Sweitzer in fight
that was complicated by many issues,
several due to the feeling engendered
by the World War; Primarily, however,
Harrison lost because the strap-hang
ers blamed him for the miserable
facilities in Chicago.
During his term just closed there was
continual agitation for subway or
some practical solution of the situation
which has marked Chicago as the slow
est of all cities to arrange for the
of it's workers. Harri-
son protested that the big mercantile
interests allied with existing transpor-
5ation corporations had rendered him
helpless, but he was nevertheless made
4 victim.

numbers many members.
A club Of that sort could find en-.
