EARLY ADvANCF|N
PRICE OF WHEAT
LOST NEAR CLOSE
Bears Gain Control Of the
Market After Substantial
Gains at Start and Close
Weak.

Chicago, Jan. 2s.-wheat advanced
sharply today, owing In a large meas
ure to Emperor Williams war mani
festo and to the consequent disappear
ance of peace rumors. A new embargo
on freight shipments eastbound from
Chicago led subsequently to q reaction
in prices. Any radical setback. how
ever. was checked by fears that in the
absence Of snow covering the pre-
dicted cold wave would result in SER
ious damage to the domestic winter
crop.

from &c to 4hc higher. with May
1.77h to 1.73a and July $50 to Isl
we're followed by moderate downturns
and then a fresh advance.
Lack of new export purchasing tend
ed later to favor the bears. This was
not long offset by heavy clearanccs
from the seaboard or by big decrease
in the United States visible supply
total. Assertions that the British gov
eminent was holding wheat in Win

preston, the market breaking as much

ACTION IN BRANNON
MATTER TO BE TAKEN
BY THE BOARD SOON

The state board Of education had not
taken up again for discussion the mat
ter OF the resignation of Melvin A.
Brannon. president of the University
of Idaho, to a late hour this afternoon.
Advices from MOSCOW are to the eff
feet that President Brannon's resigna-
ton is not in the hands of the board.
1t was said today that not long ago
President Brannon presented his re-
signation to the president OF the board
but later withdrew 1t SO that as the
matter now stands his resignation is
not with the board. Whether the board
will act without the resignation is not
known, but it was stated today that a
majority OF its members may decide
to take some action to clear up the uni
versity situation.
The board spent this morning dis
cussing the budgets for the various
state institutions. The fact that the
bonded limitation has forced re-
striction in the matter of bond issues,
caused the board to decide today to
eliminate a total Of $4,000 from the
budget of the University Of Idaho for
improvements and repairs. All of the
improvements for the various institu-
tions were based on bond issues to be
authorized by the legislature. An item
of $4,000 for a swimming pool at the
university was also stricken from the
budget, making $4,000 In all. Other
budgets for other institutions will be
trimmed in a like manner.
This afternoon the board is meeting
with the educational committees of
the house and senate.

PONY SERVICE ON
THE SHORT LINE
MAY Be RESUMED
Pending Final Decision a
Stub Will Be Run West
From Boise When Main
Line Train Is Late.

The Capital News recently took up
with General Manager Howard v. Platt
of the Oregon Short Line the subject
of restoring the Pony train service out
of Boise for the benefit of the public in
southwestern Idaho. The Pony train
proved a great convenience to Boise
and to territory west of this city, and
suspension of the service has been es-
pecially felt because of the latencss OF
the through west bound trains for some
time past due to bad weather in wy
oming and other points east Of here.
General Manager Plntt has advised
the Capital News that pending final de-
cision as to the Pony he had given
orders that whenever the main line
west bound train was three hours late
or more stub would be run west from
Boise.
The hope is general in this territory
that the Pony service will be resumed
which, it is believed in view of the
general improvement Of travel and
business conditions, would prove profit
able for the Oregon Short Line. It Is
known it would prove a great conven-
fence to the public.
