LEGISLATURE MAY BE CON-
VENED IN EXTRA SESSION

There is a possibility that the Fiji
.eenth Idaho legislature may be con-
,ened some time in November In n
1ne-day extra session for the sole
purpose OF ratifying the national wo-
man suffrage amendment. Governor
Davis favors Immediate ratification.
He has not definitely decided. hawev-
er. to convene the solons in extra ses-
sion, but there is a strong probability
that the action will ultimately be ta-
ken.
II the Idaho Legislature il called
in extra session II will be at the sole
expense OF the members and under
the call they would be only permitted
to consider the ratification. Nothing
else would be included in the call.
As the legislative halls have been
torn down the legislature would have
to convene in some public building
probably the Pinney theatre.
Governor Davis Ia in receipt OF a
message from Governor William ID.
stephens OF California asking that
the legislature be convened In extra
session on Nov. ~. Thanksgiving
He has sent a similar request to the
governors OF Arizona. New Mexico.
Wyoming. Oregon. and Washington.
Calling OF the California legislature
for the proposed extra session II de-
pendent upon the action OF the 9th
er states. Kansas is said TO have al
ready issued q call for a one-day ex-
ira session.
Il am giving the matter serious
consideration" said Governor Davis.
Should an extra session be called II
would be for but one day a. the ex-
pense Of the members and only for
the purpose of considering the FatIfI-
cation Of the suffrage amendment.

ST. CHARLES FARMERS
THROUGH THRESHING

Thos. Pugmire was over from St.
Charles last Tuesday and had his
subscription peg on the Examiner
moved up a notch. Mr.. Pugmire
stated that all the grain in the st.
Charles section had been threshed,
and that the yield was far below nor
NAL on account of the dry summer.
Some of the dry land wheat went as
low. as five bushels to the acre, but
one man reported a yield of Is bush
els to the acre. Mr.. Pugmire's aver
age was 10 bushels. He feels certain
that we will have heavy snow fall
this winter. He reported that the
rain fall at st. Charles the past week
was much lighter than on the east
side of the valley.

REBEL AGAINST THE
HIGH cos TOT LIVING

Boise, Oct. 21.-Idaho consumers
: are beginning to show signs of re-
belIion against the high cost of liv-
ing. Remonstrances, protests and
even resolutions are being made and
suggested to state. municipal and
county authorities. either by direct
letter or through the state press. AS
winter comes on and with a coal
strike that will tie up the nations
industry as a prospect the situation
becomes more unendurable.
Lumber prices are being made the
particular subject for attack in sew
eral sections. Recently the Boise
city council demanded that the pub
lie utilities commission control lum-
ber prices, on the grounds that the
widespread use of lumber makes it
a public utility. The law, however,
does not include 1t as such, and the
commission announced that it had no
Jurisdiction.
On the Twin Falls North side ri
rigation tract, a move has been start
ed to organize stockholders in the ca
nal company for the purpose of es-
tablishing a mutual lumber and mer-
camille company, with a capital stock
OF $250.O0O. Promoters OF the plan
claim that 100000 will be saved on
$2.00O.0OO worth of lumber and
building material that win be bought
by settlers within the net three years.
With the announcement OF another
boast Of soc per ton on coal, an at
tempt is being made to organize a
mutual coal company to follow the
same general plan as the proposed
mutual lumber company and mercan-
tiel company on the north side tract.
As th situation e6mplicates, more
companies of this type will be organ
lied over the state. Whether or not
they win solve the problem rests on
the experience Of the companies now
being formed.
Meanwhile dealers over the state
disclaim rssponsibility for the high

Every farmer In the county IL In
terested In wheat grading, because
the grade of wheat enters into profit
nearly as much as yield. It is there
fore important that factors entering
into and determining grades of wheat
be explained and made clear to pro-
ducers. Mr.. Sheehan, who Is in the
employ of the Extension Division of
the University of Idaho is coming to
Bear Lake for that purpose. Several
attempts have been made to carry on
this work here, but something has in
terfered until now. We are mighty
glad that we are fortunate enough
to have Mr.. Sheehan come to US. He
has had a wide experience, as Field
Agronomist and there is no doubt
that he will give the farmers much
practical information regarding
wheat, wheat grades, varieties to
grow under varying conditions, mil
ling qualities of varieties, dockage,
ling qualities of varieties, dockage,
etc. Samples of wheat will be graded
before your eyes.
Farmers, don't think that because
some Of you have sold your wheat
that this doesn't concern you. Wheat

be one of your big problems; what

EXAMINERS NEW PRESS
NOW IN OPERATION

The Examiners new press was I'M
stalled last week and is now working
like charm. The only trouble sc
far is. that none OF the office force
is able to feed" the papers as fas,
as the press will take them when
running in high gear. Consequent
ly we have to keep her in intermed-
late. However. after a little prac-
tice we will be able to keep the press
going on high.
The installation OF the new press
enables US to issue this week a 12-
page paper-the first ever issued
from the Examiner office, except on
two previous occasions. when special
editions were printed.
While this issue is largely devot-
ed to advertising. which is proof
that Montpelier merchants acknowl-
edge the value OF the Examiner as
an advertising medium, we intend to
give our subscribers more reading
matter in the future than we have
in the past.
Beginning with next week the first
chapters OF popular serial will be
published. Other features of inter
est to the housewife and farmer will
be found in the Examiner each week.
To help make the Examiner a bet
ter local paper We ask our friends
to inform us of the events that hap
pen throughout the county. II you
are on the Montpelier telephone ex-
change call 80 and tell US IL the stork
visits your home. II you are going on
visit, II friends and relatives are
visiting at your house or anything
else that would be of interest to the
public. II you are on the Paris ex-
change call the Examiner office at
our expense.
We want to publish all OF the To-
cal news possible each week, but we
cannot publish news items we do not
hear about.
Some people seem to think that the
editor OF country newspaper sees
all things and knows all things. but
he doesn't so the only way to help
him publish more local news is to
tell him Of all the events-don't walt
for him to ask you.
We would also like to have a cor
respondent in every community in
the county. II any young man or
young lady desiring TO act in that ca
paci,y will call at this office or drop
us a ro;e we will tell them how to
make little easy money on the side.
We invite our readers to call at the
Office and see the new press in opera
tion.

Medical College in Omaha.

The above only refers to that
part OF the state university located
in Lincoln. The state medical col
lege, part of the university, is 10
Gated in Omaha and is one of the
important medical universities of the
west.
Added to this might be mentioned
the North Platte experiment sta
ton, part of the agricultural
school, which consists of 1920
acres. Another experimental farm
at Curtis consists of 400 acres,
while substation at Valentine of
over 1000 acres and another at
ScottSbluff of 800 acres, completes
the real estate holdings of the state
as they relate to the university. The
buildings upon these university
holdings are estimated at present to
be worth $l,505,2l9.
However, there are other edu-
cational interests of the state not
located in Lincoln which might be
mentioned. the four normal colleges
stationed at Peru, Kearney, Wayne
and Chadron, which form a very i'm
portant part of Nebraska's educa-
tional work and while not located in
the capital city of the state are the
grownup children of the parent
plant and contribute greatly to the
cnviable position which Nebraska
has held so long as the state hav-
ing the smallest percentage of ilht-
eracv in the United States.

Registration of State Uni.
Has Grown from l30 in 1871
to 5,617 in Last Semester
While Five Teachers Taught Students Al Years Ago
When the University Started, Now Faculty of 351
Looks After the Instruction-More Than 800 Per-
sons on Unis Payroll.
By p. A. BARROWS.

When speaking of the big changes
which have taken place in Nebras-
ka's capital city, one naturally turns
his eyes towards the states big uni
versity, where in the AZ years OF its
history the registrations have IN
creased from but l30 students to
5,6l7 for the last year. With the
increase in the student registrations
has come a correspondingly Increase
in the number of instructors, and
while five teachers took care of the
students when the school started III
1871, now 35l teachers look after the
instruction. The pay roll of the uni
versity has swelled to over 800 per-
sons.
To show the steady growth of the
university in late years and also to
indicate that the first few years were
anything but encouraging, when
after starting out with l30 students
the registration dropped off the
first year to 123 and then took a
more discouraging drop to an even
100, some figures are given. 1t will
be noted that for the term of 1917
and 1918, the registration dropped
from 5,275 the year before to 4,l95.
This is accounted for by the fact
that the war took so many of the
young men of the state.

Rockford College Looks

Building known as university hall
1t was erected in 1870 of common
red brick with sandstone founda-
ton; also native, which, with the
trimmings and roof, cost $4,000.
The old building had in later years
been replaced with new founda-
ton and the north wing has been
remodeled. Now the old structure
is almost lost in the maze of mod
ern buildings surrounding it. While
costing $4,000 when new, it is
now estimated that its value as a
building is less than $4,000.
An estimate of the present value
of all buildings upon the down
town campus gives an interesting
idea as to the growth and value of
the institution, and also shows the
year in which the buildings were
erected:

The state university farm, a mile
cast of the main campus, is very
interesting place. Less than quar-
ter of a century ago, this beautiful
spot was a low stretch of prairie
with a single low building as the
only structure. on the place. Now
there are 81 fine buildings covering
the main campus while the farm it
self covers many acres surrounding
all sides.
The value of the buildings upon
the university farm is at present
placed at $780, and is shown as
follows.
