Idaho basketball team will meet to-
night in the high school gym the fast

ond OF Il series of games scheduled

from the college are corners and while
they are not as proficient in the art
of basketball as the first five they

STUDENTS PLAN A
BIG CELEBRATION

Caldwell Jan. denominations are
over ut the College of Idaho. The stu
dents are planning a big celebration in
honor of the fact. This is an annual
event II is held in i'inney hall and
is known as the Post Exam Jubilee"
The jubilee will be held next Friday
night and it will be time Of great
rejoicing. The committee on arrange
ments has promised an entertaining
and novel program. A few hints as
to its nature have been whispered
about. One is that all big or inter
csting events of the past semester will
be rc-enacted. Another is that the
one time coach, Herbert Safer, will be
present and make a speech. This may
sound absurd when one knows that
news has been received that on Jan.
10, +. Safer departed from New York
for the West Indies. but the members
Of the committee think that they have
some one who can impersonate him.
Many more good things have been
planned and the students and. their
friends have been invited to celebrate
on that occasion.

PROPOSAL TO BUILD
ADDITION TO. HIGH
SCHOOL DISCUSSED

Caldwell, Jan. 31.-At q spirited
meeting in the Commercial club rooms
last night the sentiment was strongly
to come to a climax next Tuesday at
ternOon when 1t Is to be determined
whether Caldwell will build an addi-
tion to its high school building. The
election is called to take place at the
city hall between the hours Of / and s.
Considerable interest attaches to the
movement consequent to the school
system of the city being crowded to
the limit and 1t has already become
necessary to begin teaching q part Of
the grade children In rented rooms that
have been secured in the city.
Only this week arrangements were
made to secure such places and plans
are being discussed with the Ladies'
Forward club and the Methodist church
trustees relative to securing space in
the church parlors for school purposes
By building an adequate addition to
the high school building it will then be
the plan to bring the seventh and
eighth grades into the new building,
thereby relieving the crowded condition
in the grades.
There will be another mass meeting
at the Commercial club to discuss the
problems that are to'be answered con-
corning the election. 1t Is expected
that several hundred citizens will at
tend the meeting, and committees will
be appointed to take charge.

JOKER IN PENDING
BILL SAY SETTLERS

Caldwell, Jan. 31.-That the membe s
of the Boise Payette Water Users as
ISOLATION will strongly oppose the en-
actment into law Of house bill No 81,
by Collins. which has been introduced
in the legislature, is one of the devel-
Opments Of today. The chief objection
Of the settlers on the project is that 1t
releases the spectators from paving
the full maintenance for the irrigation
waters and that it permits the rccla-
nation service to annex adjacent un-
entered lands to any irrigation district
and thereby enables it 10 force cali
for the organization of a district.
In this phase ,f the proposed law y
number of settlers see a joker and, ac =
COrdng to current report, a large
delegation Of the settlers will appear
before the legislature to oppose the
passage Of the bill

MONEY PLENTIFUL;
MERCHANTS HAVING
VERY HEAVY TRADE

Meridian, Jan. 31.-The highly pros
porous condition Of the vast area of
highly developed agricultural country
surrounding this place is abunda ntly
evidenced by the great business the
merchants of the town are enjoying.
The town continues to be well filled
with farmers each day who purchase
goods literally and pay for their pur-
chases Immediately. In commenting
upon the encouraging business sit
uation, A. ketchen. one Of the leading
business men Of this place, said: The
great trade now being enjoyed by Me-
ridian is highly indicative of the pros
perity existing among the farmers OF
the surrounding country. Not only
are they coming to town and buying
goods literally, but they are paying
for their purchases, and most signifi-
cant OF all, they are paying for these
purchases through checks. This indi-
Gates that they have money on de-
post in the banks and are very for
tunately ahead Of the game. The bus
mess outlook for Meridian is certainly
very encouraging"

The river is wide at this point,
much wider than where the Douglas
street bridge crosses. People on the
other bank look so small they can
hardly be seen. You can distinguish
bunch of boys in their birthday
clothes, swimmin' in a pool a little
back iron the river bank. They seem
like figures in a moving picture, for
they are so far away their shouts can
not be heard.
Walking north along the river, we
pass a one-lcgged man, building a
boat, and finally come TO the massive
piers OF the Douglas street bridge.
You dyn't realize how big that bridge
is or how high it it stands above the
water until you get underneath it and
