quite freely and Sid does not feel like
disposing of his holdings just at pres

of the state. Whether it will develop
into anything of value remains for time
to reveal.
Quite a number of farmers from this
section purchased pure bred animals last
week at the Lewiston stock show and
had them shipped back to the prairie to
aid in keeping up the high standard OF
Idaho county herds. Most of the ami
mails purchased were hogs and they were
secured at private sale. Charles Buett-
ner, residing southwest of town, pur-
chased Shorthorn bull for $500 and
unloaded the animal here Wednesday.
Those who purchased hogs were Howard
Mckinley, H. H. Wassmuth, August

1T LOOKS LIKE INCORPORATION.

1T LOOKS LIKE INCORPORATION.
About half a hundred people assem-
bled at the opera house Wednesday
evening, in response to a notice in last
week IS issue that gathering was desir-
ed to express the opinion of the public
whether or not the people of Ferdinand
desired to incorporate as a village at
this time.
At about eight clock the gathering
was called to order by the editor, and
after stating the object of the meeting,
called for expressions from anyone and
everyone. B. c. Barbor gave fair
outline of what was required to incor-
porate, etc. Others spoke for and
against the project, but the sentiment of
the meeting, judging by standing vote
was about three to one in favor of in
corporation.
A committee consisting of B. G. Bar
Dor, M. j. McMurry and j. H. Fry was
appointed by the chairman to prepare
and circulate petition for signature of
those favoring incorporation. 1t was
also recommended, that after the neces-
sary signatures were procured the town
people meet at some public place en-
masse and select the five trustees they
desire the county commissioners to name
as our first villaged dads.
That is capital idea, and the Enter
prise could name dozen, all of whom,
are good enough for us; for instance;

in their home town, and yet have sense
enough to know that we are not trying
to ape Seattle or Chicago.
We want incorporation, and we want

UNIVERSITY OF IDA. EXTENSION
(By Frank B. Sutherland.O

10y rTdHh ID. OuIueTIdHu.)
The university has in the past year,
made many changes and improvements,
but in no department have the changes
been so radical or the improvements so
pronounced as in that of university ex-
tension. Last year mere appendage,
this branch has now taken its place
among the rest of the departments as
one of prime Importance. The work
has been placed in the hands of Donald
David, and under his direction plan of
action has been outlined, which when
carried through, will make the influence
and usefulness of the university state
wide.
The scope of the work has been
widened, and now includes such widely
diversified lines as the giving of cor
resp6ndence courses, and the sending
out of "movies." The work to be done
falls under the following eight general
heads:
l. Correspondence Courses.
2. Lectures-Single and Lyceum
3. Visual Instruction Helps.
4. Debate and Public Discussion
Clubs.
5. Travelling and Package Libraries.
6. Night Schools.
7. Community Institutes.
s. Publicity.
Correspondence Work.
The first of these is the regular cor
respondence work, which, as in the pas
will be the one most strongly emphasiz-
ed. The list of courses being given af-
fords wide range for choice Over so
courses are offered, with others in pre-
paration, which include languages
modern and ancient, many branches of
science, english, education history,
economics, psychology and business.
These courses may be taken for uni
versity credit by those who plan to
continue college work or for general cul-
tural or practical purposes.
The students in these courses have al
most the same status as students in reg.
ular attendance, as they come under the
personal supervision of the FACULTY and
are required to pass regular examina-
tions. This work is largely an innova-
ton this year, the classes having been
started the first of October. Already
quite number have enrolled, with good
prospects of larger classes in the future.
