The desire of city men to get out of
congested districts and to build homes
far enough out that they may have
their own yards is exemplified by de-
velopments along and near every ar

last year or two along Connecticut

Rock Creek bridge and farther out.
near Chevy Chase. d. G. Development
has been extraordinarily rapid in the
latter section. some of the handsomest
detached homes to be found in the Dis

Similar conditions prevail along

Wisconsin avenue, where detached
homes in numbers have been built this
season, with many others IN course Of

The appearance in a booksellers cata-
logue of a book OF cookery receipts
partly in the handwriting of George
Meredith. may be taken as evidence
that the novelist who wrote so much
of food and drink in his novels was not
himself Indifferent to the pleasures OF

DR.. Russell Visits Caldwell.

The basement of the Methodist
church was the assembling place of
half hundred representative citizens
of Caldwell and vicinity who met there
Wednesday noon to do honor to DR..
Howard H. Russell of Ohio, who
founded the Anti Saloon League of
America about twenty-five years ago.
DR.. Russell in company with Mr..
Wells, state superintendent of the
league, is making hurried tour OF
Idaho in behalf of the constitutional
amendment which is assuming such
vital proportions at the approaching
election. He came here from Mon
tana, spoke here at noon, at Nampa at
three in the afternoon and at Boise in
the evening-and is averaging two or
three speeches a day.
A delcctable three course luncheon
was served by the Methodist ladies to
a half hundred men of this city and
vicinity, Rev. Vance of the Presbyter-
ian church presiding. DR.. Russel's
address was followed by brief talk
by Mr.. Wells. The occasion was In

c. of I. Begins Years Work.

The College of Idaho opened its
18th year with the largest enrolment
of new students at this time that it
has ever had. Exact numbers in the
various classes cannot yet be exactly
determined. 1t was feared that since
such a number of the old students had
volunteered for the army and that
since so many of the prospective
students had done the same, the at
tendance might be decidedly short this
year.
The first few days of the new year
however, have dispelled those fears
and this portends to be the creates,
year for the c. of |.
The faculty has been greatly streng-
thened. Prof Caloman. Pr. D. has
the department of English. Miss
Roulston teaches History; Miss Cat,

Athletics.
Students are now busy enrolling II
the numerous classes open to them
and the new conditions of things art
rapidly becoming settled. The out
look is bright in every line OF &C
tivity.
On Wednesday the enrolment o
new pupils had reached sixty, most o
whom are Freshman. There is M

HUGHES LABOR RECORD.

When Mr.. Gompers, remembering
only that he Is a Democrat and for
getting that he Is a leader of organ
ICED labor, ventured to assert that
Mr.. Hughes Is unfriendly to labor be-
cause he concurred in the unanimous
decision in the Danbury hatters' case,
he ventured on very thin ice. The
Chicago Tribune promptly reminds
him that an honest Judge must apply
the law as he thinks 1t is, not as
he thinks 1t ought to be; and asks
him to tell those who look to him
for political advice something about
the record of Mr.. Hughes as Gov
ernor. Read what the Legislative
Labor News, the official organ of the
New York Federation of Labor, said
editorially when Mr.. Hughes left the
Governors chair at Albany for his
place ON the supreme court. Here 1t
H.:
"Now that Gov. Hughes has retired
from politics and assembled to a place
on the highest judicial tribunal In the
world, the fact can be acknowledged
without hurting anybody's political
corns that he was the greatest friend
of labor laws that ever occupied the
Governors chair at Albany. During
his two terms he has signed fifty-six
labor laws, including among them the
best labor laws ever enacted In this
or any state.
"He also urged the enactment Of
labor laws In his messages to the
Legislature, even going so far as to
place the demand for a labor law in
one of his messages to an extra ses.
sion of the Legislature.
"Only 1852 labor laws have been
enacted in this state since its cree
ton in 1777-in 1873 years. One-third
Of these, exceeding in quality all OF
the others, have been enacted and
signed during Gov. Hughes term Of
three years and nine months"

what the Chicago Tribune says or
this point: "Mr. Hughes is no dem
agogue and no visionary. He Is Q
