Military Training School.

That there is a prospect, amount
ing almost to a certainty, that the
University of Idaho, at Moscow, will
be made a military training school,
with minimum of 500 students and
probability that this number will be
increased to 1000, has been made
public by DR. e. H. Lindley, president
of the university.
The government has asked what
equipment the university has, and
what additional equipment will be
needed to carry on this work, signify
ing a willingness to furnish all the
additional equipment and instructors
needed
The plan is to give technical train
ing which will turn out electrical en-
gineers, gas engineers, wireless and
telegraph operators, mechanics in all
lines of craft work, expert carpenters.
wood workers, iron workers and other
craftsmen.
The governments plan is to edu-
cate 100000 of these men every year,
and the land grant schools will be
asked to do as much of the work as
possible. The plan for the first sea-
sons work is to have the training
schools open on May l and close on
October l, but if the schools can
accommodate them the government
may keep the men in these schools
and universities during the entire
year, sending those who have been
and fill.
ing their places with new men. 1t
would require 30 colleges and uni
versities with a capacity of 100 men
each to give the training required
for the initial year.
The great industries can not spare
men to teach these young soldiers in
the way the government desires to
teach them, for the industries must
keep going at full speed and the
colleges and universities that have
received and are receiving govern
ment aid are requested to take up this
work, which is to be under the direc-
ton of the federal board of vocational
education, with headquarters at the
national capital.
The men will receive the regular
army pay and sustenance while in
training The land grant schools will
not charge tuition.
1t is understood now that the
work is to begin May 1, and prepare
tions are making to have everything
in readiness to begin. The entire
plant, equipment and staff of the
university have been placed at the
governments disposal, and awaits
only acceptance.

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR AGREES
TO MAINTAIN CONVENTIONS OF
NORTHWEST FARMERS.
TRY TO HAVE ENOUGH SHIPS
Pacific Coast Terminal Rate May Be

eminent Subsidy, According
to Late Report.

Washington.-Whe men of the
Pacific northwest, here to obtain the
assurances necessary to guarantee a
big wheat crop next fall, did not
see President Wilson last week to
tell him their troubles They did not
have to. When they contemplated
asking him to hear them they did so
in the fear that Food Administrator
Hoover was opposing them in all they
asked.
They have found that Mr.. Hoover
is with them in their main premises.
Not only has he promised them repre-
sentation on the price fixing board
this year, but he is striving to get
lower freight rate by water on their
products.
Ships form the crux of the Pacific
northwest wheat production problem
No ships to carry away the wheat
means no primary Pacific coast term
inal price, making the farmers depend
ent on the Chicago price, less freight.
which makes probable a very unat-
tractive price for them and one that
will not stimulate production. A high
rate for carriage by ship, however,
might destroy the benefits of the
Coast terminal price.
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board has given tentative assurance
of some ships, and he has suggested
price of $11.50 a ton for the car
riage from the Pacific to the At
lantic port of delivery. Mr. Hoover
agrees with the wheat men that this
is too high. Mr.. Hurley says the
shipping board might even lose money
at that rate.
Hoover Wants Wheat by Water.
Mr.. Hoover does not think so. More
over he wants that wheat and he
wants it without balling up the train
transportation system any more than
is absolutely necessary. He knows
that ships are being produced on the
Pacific, and he wants them used to
bring foods to the Atlantic and over
seas. He thinks the government
might well stand an actual loss ON
transportation if it can get the wheat,
and at this weekend he has appeared
as the wheat mems champion.
Hoover says that with the ships and
a reasonable water freight rate there
will be no difficulty in establishing
the desired Pacific coast terminal
base price.
The wheat men believe that Mr..
Hurley will be convinced by Mr..
Hoover's reasoning-A. Brown.

Hutchinson, president of tht Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners, who,
after refusing to send striking ship

conference to lay the situation before

leave a settlement of differences to
the adjustment board, and declined to
see him until he had done so.
