"It would not surprise me If the Sec

Senator Earl Wsyland Bowman Monday
in the course OF brief interview follow
ing his return to Boise from the border,
where he has been doing newspaper cor

Before the interview closed the sena-

home next month, but gave it as his
opinion that troubles in the interior OF
Mexico would keep the Idaho regiment
at Nogales for months yet
Mr.. Bowman denied that "the other
houses" in Nogales had given way to

great deal of good for the men at Nogs-
les. but the resorts are still open and
will remain open so long as there are
soIdiefs at that point on the border"
He knew little of the outcome of the
hearing given to Colonel Edelblute and
Lieutenant Colonel Grow before an effi-

he thinks.

State treasury to pay their bills, have
had TO look elsewhere for funds. No
UNCONVENTIONAL school receives enough
from regular fees to pay for new
buildings. repairs and current ex-

private solicitation for endowment
funds, and for new buildings and in
