WOULD SELL ALBION
NORMAL SCHOOL BUILDINGS

The state board of education at its
Tuesday meeting directed the auditor
of the board to advertise for sealed
proposals for the purchase of the
Albion State Normal school build
ings and grounds as authorized and
directed by an act of the 1921 legisla-
ture providing for the removal of the
normal school to Burley. Possession
will be given on or after September
1, 1922, says the Statesman.
Announcement of the boards inten-
tion is expected to open one of the
bitterest and keenest battles for
municipal supremacy staged in the
state for some time. 1t is rumored
among statehouse officials that the
town of Albion will attempt to fight
the removal of the institution to Bur-
ley and has already raised sufficient
funds with which to finance the fight.
Officials also say that both Twin
Falls and Pocatello are backing Al
bion in it's fight. Upon just what
point the Albion people will attack
the law is not known but persons in
close touch with the situation say the
Albion cause will be hard to beat.
Along with the boards announce
ment of its intention to sell the AL
bion holdings comes the question:
what can the buildings be used
for?"
The 1921 legislature tried to- solve
this problem when it was making the
law moving the institution by offer
ing the buildings to the state tubercu-
losis hospital commission but the pro-
test from that body was so loud and
long that the matter was soon drop
ped.
Various School Uses Suggested
Suggestions of using the buildings
for schools devoted to the instruction
Of persons of certain religious be-
liefs have also been made.
The location has been described as
one suitable for the site of tuber-
culOsis hospital. The elevation is
5000 feet, there is an abundant sup
ply of water, the buildings are adapt
ed to the housing Of the patients and
the 80 acres of land could be used for
farming purposes.

IDAHO OPENS SEASON
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
CLASH ON MAC LEAN FIELD AT
THREE O'CLOCK WITH CAMP
LEWIS ARMY ELEVEN

With prospects anything but en-
couraging, the University Of Idaho
Saturday opens it's eight-game sea
son, destined to be one of the hardest
series Of games ever arranged for an
Idaho eleven. With two of the hard
est hitting linemen declared ineli-
gible and several others handicapped
by bodily injuries, the squad will as
sumo positions in the opening battle
with Camp Lewis, against team
which will outweigh them almost
ten pounds to the man.
With only a week TO recuperate
from the Camp Lewis game, Idaho
will journey to Portland to meet
sSky" Huntington's Oregonians.
The complete schedule Tor the sea-
son is as follows:
Oct Scamp Lewis at Moscow.

Lake.
Nov. 5-Montana at Moscow.
Nov. 11-University Of Wyoming at
Boise.
Nov. 19-Gonzaga at Spokane.
Nov. 24-Whitman at Walla Walla.
On the entire seasons grind Idaho
will not enter one game in which she
can afford to entertain confidence OF
certain victory. Oregon, Montana,
Utah, Wyoming, Gonzaga and Whit
man are entering speedy aggrega-
tons. The W. S. C. Cougars Ida
hos rivals across the state line, are
whipping a powerful machine into
shape and are confident Of making
clean sweep of all games.
At present the "Frosh" eleven is
attracting nearly as much attention
IS the varsity Negotiations are UNI
Ter way to bring together at Kellogg
,he first year gridders of Idaho and
Montana. The date of this game has
lot been announced but members OF
the athletic council give assurance
hat it will be played.
October Is, the Idaho and W. S. G.
sFrosh" elevens will do battle at
This game holds promise
If being unusually interesting. Re-
cruits from the fastest high school
,levens in the state are welded to-
gether as a unit to form the most
formidable first year eleven Idaho
las ever possessed. The manner in
which the sFrosh" have been pound
ng the varsity speaks well for their

|DD|NGS SAYS BUHL
PILGRIMS WILL STICK
DEAN OF AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE MAKES VISIT TO THE
CARAVANERS.

Dean E. J. Iddings, of the agricul-
tural college of the university, attend
ed meeting of Scott's modern cara
van, at the camp near Buhl, in south
ern Idaho, Saturday night, as one of
a party who went to advise with the
new settlers and to learn if there was
any truth to the published reports
that they were discouraged and dis
satisfied Dean Iddings informs a
Star-Mirror representative that the
tion to the children, are hopeful and
are eager to get started on the work
of improving their tracts They
drove from the state of New York to
Idaho with the firm intention of es-
tablishing homes in this state, which
offers unexcelled opportunities, and
it is their firm purpose to make good
There are 28 families in the settle
ment and Is children. The trip from
New York, by automobile, occupied
eight weeks. From 80 to 80 miles
were made daily. Dean Iddings says
that he found the members of the
caravan intelligent people, number
of them we'll educated and having a
fair idea of the work which they are
undertaking and eager to get down
to business, so that they may begin
to see some of the fruits of their
trip and their labor. They are located
on what is known as the Salmon irri-
cation tract. They are buying the
land from the Idaho Development
at $125 an acre.
At the meeting Saturday night the
new settlers showed the most intense
interest in everything pertaining to
their new surroundings and were es-
pecially eager to get information con-
cerning the improvement of their
tracts. To show that they are not
with conditions as they
find them, the new settlers adopted
resolutions in which they set forth
that they believed there was no bet
ter farm land in the state of Idaho
than that upon which they are To-
Gated and expressed their apprecia-
ton of the wise advice given by the
state officials and the assistance
rendered in various ways.
Business men of Buhl are helping
the settlers in every way, possible, to
the extent of going out to the settle
ment and aiding them in construction
of their cabins. Cattle will be pur-
chased in a short time, and all the
settlers will engage in the dairy busi-
ness 1t is the intention of the cara
vaners to start in the stock business
with good grade animals, but not to
buy any thoroughbred stock Horses
will be bought at once and used or a
community plan; that is the team will
be taken from one farm to another to
do the work. Each householder will
get some poultry at once for do
mestic use
Dean Iddings is Of the opinion that
the settlers will make good and will
prove to be worthy citizens of the
state They will of course have diff
cu1tfes to overcome, but people who
had sufficient initiative and conf
dence to leave their eastern home and
Journey across the continent, possess
the qualities which will tide them over
their difficulties
Dean Iddings says the state fair
was up to standard, with an exception
ally fire display of livestock and farm
products.

N. D. GRADING LAW KNOCKED
OUT

The Federal Circuit Court of Ap-
peals handed down decision Tuesday
knocking out the much-touted North
Dakota grain-grading act. The
Court reversed the ruling of Judge
Amidon. The case was brought by
the Farmers Elevator at Embden,
this state.
The above act was passed by the
Nonpartisans in 1919, being intro
duced by Sen. Drown. During the
campaign last fall, the leaguers tried
to cruelty j. F. T. O'Connor, of
Grand Forks, because his law firm rep
resented the farmers elevator in this
case. They attempted to show this
proved O'Connor puppet of the grain
combine. They also claimed vast
savings for the farmers under the law.
OConnor, in his speeches, discussed
the matter and showed that the law
conflicted with the Federal law, and
it is fact that elevator companies
were required to comply with the Fed
eral act in spite of any North Dakota
law.
The Independents have claimed from
the first that this much-touted act
was lemon, pure and simple,of no
benefit to anybody, and simply anoth-
er means of fooling the farmers polit-
ically. The editor of this paper had
some newspaper discussion during the
campaign last fall with Mr.. Miller,
who was then sojourning in Emmons
county as the league county mana

POKER JOINT RAIDED

Chief of Police Wittmayer Sunday
night raided the tailor shop in the old
electric light plant building run by
R. H. Burkhart, capturing six play
ers in little game of the old-fash-
ioned penny-ante. Mr.. IWittmayer
made the raid on instructions from
the city mayor, Mr.. Wolverton, who
had suspicious of the kind of place
being run by Burkhart, who las been
located in Linton only a few months
coming here from Hazelton, where he
stayed a few weeks.
Burkhart himself, B. Wald, Bill
Schmier and three minors were taken
in the raid. Monday morning they
pleaded guilty before Justice Britts
and were fined SIS each and costs.
When matters Of this kind come up,
there is a grand rush to the newspa-
per office to try to keep reference to
it out of the paper. So far as we
are concerned, when a man gets in
police court, pleads guilty or is found
guilty, report of it is going into the
columns of the Record, except that in
the case of minors the names will not
be given. We have more than a
thousand people paying two dollars
each year with the certainty that we
will try to give them all the news
that develops.
Police court news is some of the
most important. And, if exceptions
are made in individual cases, then all
persons getting in trouble with the
authorities can make the howl that
some peple can get out Of having their
names published while others cannot.
