EXTENSION SCHOOL
WAS BIC SUCCESS

The University Of Idaho Extension
school held in Montpelier last Thurs
day and Friday attained favorable
degree of success from the standpoint
OF attendance. considering the ex
treme cold weather experienced To-
cally about that time. Had the
weather been OF milder nature tho
schools attendance would have out
numbered that of many other towns,
according to field agents Of the state
school.
The mems sessions, at which Prem
Moore, with his up to tho minute
poultry information, and Professor
G. w. Hickman on hogs, sheep and
dairy cows, offered world of sound
facts for the farmer who has the de-
sire and ability to turn his labor and
brain power into money These
speakers emphasized head work NJ
the valuable supplement to manual
labor where success Is desired.
The women's session which wero
somewhat better attended than
those of tho mems, were exception
| ally good Miss Jensen on Child
Welfare presented the cause of child
caro- in an able manner which was
appreciated by all OF her hearers
i At night President Upham of the
state university, and President Fra
zier OF the Idaho Tech" kept their
audiences on their toes at all times,
Especially valuable was DIR. Upham'a
talk in which he pointed out thas
LESS than two per cent OF the states
revenue was used for the support Of
higher education, that is for tho
maintenance or the University and
Extension service. He also pointed
lout, al did all the other speakers, the
necessity for diversity In tho farm
ing system and the building up OF u
we'll balanced farm that would pro
vide profitable labor for the farmer
365 days fin tho year. Another thin-
that was emphasized was the lack
of attention the average farmer give
to tho business phases of his yoca
ton, which results in minimum
profit and sometimes a loss for the
years work.
All who attended went away with
} that satisfied feeling that comes
when a sympathetic cord has beer
reached that will sound the call fol

WAa OLD
LAND MARK

Tho. freight depot was one of tho
landmarks Of Montpelier. Although
remodeled various times, yet the
main part of the building was the
original depot built in the city, and
is said to have been forty years old.
Since the completion of the passeng-
er depot in 1916, the old structure
has been used for freight and dis
patching headquarters and general
. officaa.4%s
The fire was a spectacular one and
drew a crowd numbering into the
hundreds from all parts of the city.
The fire burned for more than two
] hours. Nearby buildings were saved
through the cooperative efforts OF
tho citizens.
The company saved most Of the Of
flee equipHnent and the safe, but the
most serious loss, perhaps, will be
the total loss of the bulk Of valuable
eompay records on file in the office.
Al few current records were saved
In the freight department the loss
was slight. There was very little
freight on the floor, the days re-
ceipts still being In the cars, having
arrived too late for unloading.
The Gray News company lost heav-
lily. The company used a portion o.
the warehouse for their surplus stocH
and Miss Munk this morning estimat
ed the value Of the stock on hand a
$4,000, all of which was lost in th'
fire.
Agent r. N Dryden and his offict
force, are busy arranging temporar.
quarters in the north wing of tn
passenger station. An investigation
is being conducted this morning b.
Assistant Superintendent L. G.. Sloal
and the exact cause OF the fire vii
doubtless be determined in the inyea
tigaton.

Main Portion of Old Freight
Depot Was Original Struc-
ture; Built When Railroad
First Constructed Through
City. Valuable Records Lost

Fire broke ont i'm tho ware.
house of the Oregon Short Line
freight depot last night between
8 and o o'clock and completely
destroyed the entire building.
So rapidly did the flames spread
throughout the old wooden
structure that before assistance
and fire fighting equipment
reached the scene the flames
had gained control of the situa,
tion. and much OF the efforts OF.
the fire fighters were directed
toward keeping the fire from
spreading to the warehouses on
the east side Of the street.
Tho fire is said to have been caus-
ed by tho explosion OF an oil heater
in small room in tho main ware
house where perishable articles were
kept. The night dispatchers and
clerks were on duty in the offices
and for time were unaware of tht
flames which were raging in thu
warehouse. ..--ssss-
Fro ffgmrYng was difficult to thu
extreme with tho inadequate watel
pressure and small hose, and al
though the firemen fought the fir
all they could, they were handicapp
ed by low water. The apparatus 0
the Short Line was put to work OF
the west side of the fire, but the wat
er pressure on their hose was evel
lower than the city's outfit, so fight
ing the flames was but a matter Q
keeping the fire somewhat checke
so as not to jeopardize nearby build
ings.

Crop and range conditions around
Memphis and Wellington are serious
due to the drouth that has prevailed
for the past two months, according

owner of Memphis, who is in Amar-

that cattle raisers who have with
