than the government price, but must
be governed by the state rules at tide
water points, and apparently they
will grade closely. After the grain
buyer buys his wheat and orders it out
for shipment, whenever it is ready for
shipment he will report to the gov
eminent agent, Mr.. Houser and Mr.
Houser will tell him where to ship it.
Thirty Days the Limit
If the mills are loaded up so they
can't take the wheat, and they are not
allowed to carry more than 80 days
stock at a time, then Houser will or
der the wheat held until he is ready
to have it shipped and from that time
on the government will pay the in
terest and carrying charges. l asked
Houser directly what rate of interest
would be paid by the government and
he replied, 1 have already taken that
up and the authorities told me that
in view of the fixed price ana certain
ty of market they felt the government
should not be called upon to pay
more than 6 per cent Therefore it
seems to me that with firms of I'M
questioned financial standing the rate
they will pay will not be over per
cent, because whatever they pay above
6 per cent they will have to provide
for themselves in their purchase. This
means lower interest rates through
out the country and also means that

weight wheat in all districts that you

Because Of the widespread interest
in the determination of the federal
government to regulate the wheat
prices and the many vexatious prob
lens growing out of this, the follow
ing letter from Thos. ]. Brewer, pres
ident of the Fidelity National bank of
Spokane, to Harry Whittier, cashier
of the Moscow State bank, is well
worthy of space:
81 attended the conference yester-
day at Portland of the wheat growers
with Mr. Houser Nothing was ac
complished regarding getting better
price except to appoint a delegation
to go to Washington and interview
the president, who alone has power
to change the rules and regulations
already promulgated.

Basis of the System
The board itself was to consist of
five members appointed by the gov
ernor, each to serve for five years, the
term of one expiring each year. To
this was to be added the superintend-
ent of public instruction, a constitu-
tional officer, whose functions OF
which with the exception of mem
bership on the land board, were to be
prescribed in accordance with law.
The university, the normal school at
Albion and that at Lewiston, the tech
meal institute at Pocatello, the school
for deaf, dumb and blind at Gooding,
and the industrial institute at st. An
thony and the entire system of ele-
mentary and secondary schools were
placed under this board. This board
would not only be the adviser of the
legislature on all educational mat
ters but the administrator of the laws
in reference to education.
Men Now in Charge
The first commissioner of education
chosen was Dr.. Edward O. Sisson
who served until July 1, 1917. At that
time he was succeeded by Dr. Enoch
A. Bryan who for many years had
served as president of the state col
lege of Washington. The board OF
education, as now constituted, includes
R. M. Walker, a banker of Wallace,
Idaho, formerly for many years in
business at Kendrick, Idaho; Evan
Evans, a retired business man of
Idaho; ]. A. Keefer,
cashier of a bank at Shoshone; j. A.
a general merchant at
Idaho City, and William Healy, an at
torney at Boise, who had served IN
he legislature of 1913; also, eX-of-

1t is the COnCcnSUs Of expert Opin-
ion voiced by the president, the secre-
tary Of war, the chief of engineers of
the L.. S. army. and prominent engi-
necrs that America and the world at
large will need trained engineers in
the immediate future as never before
in history To win the war for democ-
racy, to repair war wastage when the
war shall be over demands men with
engineering and technic al training in
numbers outrunning any probable sup
ply. The University of Idaho in it's
engineering college is well organized
to do its part i'll supplying this de-
mand.
From the beginning instruction i'll

has teen sound and thorough with
emphasis on fun damental training and
insistence that whatever practical work
was introduced into the curricia as a
part Of the training should conform
as closely as might be TO the conditions
of work in the every day world The
success obtained quite generally by
graduates Of the several engineering
courses has been marked and has
gone far to give the university rec
ognition with the people of the state.

Idaho Leads All the States in Educational System
Man with a Record
For Effective Work

The new commissioner of educa-
ton, DR.. E. A. Bryan. has come to his
work in Idaho with keen apprecia-
ton of the educational problems of
the northwest with a broad executive
experience in collegiate work and with
record of brilliant achievement as
builder He is best known in Idaho
and throughout the northwest as the
president of Washington State Col
lege.
Carries Many Degrees
DR.. Bryan was born in Indiana,
near Bloomington. and received his
first degree, that of bachelor of arts,
from the University of Indiana He
received the master of arts degree
from the University of Indiana, and
the same degree from Harvard Uni
versity. He holds the doctor of laws
degree from both Monmouth College
and Michigan agricultural college
The first position held by DR. Bry-
an in educational work was that of
superintendent of schools at GRANVILLE,
Illinois, from 1878 to 1882. He was
president of the Vincennes University
from 1882 to 1893. and in 1893 became
the president of the Washington Agri-
cultural College, now Washington State
College
He Builds Great School
DR.. Bryan found this land-grant col
lege of Washington but little more
than the promise of an institution He
started with a few small buildings ana
a mere handful of students Twenty
three years of the time. energy and en-
thusiasm of Idahos present commits
sioner of education were given in a
most thorough and effective way to
the building of a great institution of
learning. Difficulties of many kinds
were met with and complicated prob
lens were solved in such a way as
to bring the Washington State Col
lege to foremost position among the
Immigrant colleges of America

men to be extremely careful in grad
ing. 1t would be my opinion that the
safer way to handle the proposition
where there is any question at all
would be to have the wheat put in a
special pile. This question of grading
it seems apparently is the only chance
of loss, but this year it is a serious
matter and needs particularly close
attention.
What Public Warehouse Means
'NIr. Houser stated that it was his
only by one farmer for storing his
own wheat, even though he took in
no wheat at all from others. would
be classed as public warehouse.
He also stated that they were not
ready to buy wheat yet but would
be soon. All prices are bulk and if
the warehouse men can get suitable
cars they should ship their wheat in
bulk, retaining their sacks.
lit SOFtI HlItilt uOCS lOl agree
to furnish cars. After the wheat is
held 80 days the warehouse man will
have to report to Houser and he will
arrange for shipment if cars are avail
able. If Houser does not want wheat
shipped then the government from
that date will pay the interest The
30-day clause Houser advises starts
on September LIST
Where Friction Exists
There is consider able friction dcvel-
oping between milleYs and warehouse
men, because some millers feel they
can grade wheat more literally than
men dare to. Houser says
this matter will be regulated and ask,
to have cases of this sort referred to
him.

ficio, Miss Ethel E. Redfeld, state SUI
perintendent of public instruction.
1t need hardly be remarked that
one of the most important functions
of this board is that of serving as
regents of the University of Idaho.
The university is and should be the

ton of the state and to it Is promis-
ed the highest devotion on the part of
