BALK STUDENTS
College of Idaho Get
Away to April FOOLS
Picnic.

Threatened with rain all day, Col
lege of Idaho students nevertheless
held their annual April Fools party
at Curtis Park Monday, the event 60
ing off in the usual manner of pic
mic with all its joys and sorrows. The
eats were reported to have been of ex-
cellent quality, several of the young
men distinguishing themselves in the
battle of pickles, olives and other pic
mic essentials.
This is an annual event which dates
back so far that there is no record of
it. Previously until the last two
years, April FOOLS day was holiday
not recognized by the faculty. One
or two of the more timid students
would attend classes but the great bulk
of the student body would attend the
picnic instead, April fooling the other
wise powerful professors. Last year
however, the college faculty decided
to get there first so no member of the
college teaching force appeard at all
in his class room on that day, thus
fooling at last the small minority OF
students who did come expecting to
further pursue the elusive knowledge
The natural outcome of this was to
have holiday declared, necessity
considering that the custom was toe
far rooted to do otherwise. April the
first fell on Saturday this year but tc
forestall any grief on the part of the
students for this reason, the holida,
was declared nevertheless to fall OF
Monday instead of Saturday.

Anyway.

Eastern Idaho is still several weeks

spring work is concerned, according
to George F. Prince, local represent
alive of the California Vegetable
Union, who has returned from east
ern Idaho. Snow when he left Ashton
was still two feet deep and more was
falling, while at Preston the snow
was foot deep. Warm days, how
ever, was cutting rapidly into the snow
and slush was the predominating con-
dition underfoot, according to Mr..
Prince.
Work in aiding lettuce growers af-
filiated with the Idaho Producers
Union with proper cultural methods
will be taken up in this district at
once, it was announced Monday at the
farm bureau office. Phamplets pre-
pared by the California Vegetable

Monday to growers who will market

Arrangements have been made
whereby every member of the Idaho

These losses, according to the COM
pany, do not include general over
head, depreciation on the road, term
inal charges and other items that the
Wilder branch should properly be
called upon to bear. But Albert Con-
ners, attorney for the public utilities
commission. took a somewhat differ
ent viewpoint. He questioned COM
pany representatives endeavoring to
show that the Wilder branch should
properly be credited with revenues &C
cruing to the company as result of
hauling over the main line freight that
originated on the Wilder branch. Be-
cause the Wilder branch was feed

pany but by providing business for
the main line, be a profitable venture
in the aggregate. At present the rail-
road company does not pro rata its
main line earnings among feeder lines
upon which such traffic originates.
Business on the Wilder branch seems
to be decreasing, according to these
figures submitted by the railroad COM
pany:

Evidently, the railroad company was
not informed that counter complaint
had been filed against their original
petition. At any rate, John Moran of
Pocatello, railroad attorney, endeavor-
ed to prevent the introduction of evil
dence under this counter complaint.
His objections were overruled.
Held at the Grand theatre in Wilder
the hearing was quite generally attend
ed, almost capacity crowds being pre-
sent at both morning and afternoon
meetings.
That the railroad company is dis
eliminating against shippers over the
Wilder branch was one of the con-
tentions made by the defendants in
the cross complaint. Facilities tor
hauling potential livestock business
are woefully lacking, according to this
complaint, and the assertion was made
that lack of these facilities was costing
the company much business from live
stock sources alone.

CATTLE COMING
BACK IN " ES
Dorman Finds Shorthorn
Breeders Are Opt
nistic.

With the recent increase in prices,
renewed interest is being shown in
beef cattle in the middle west. accord
ing to letter from H. w. Dorman,
Caldwell Shorthorn breeder, who has
been attending sales in the middle
west. Prices at these sales lead Mr..
Dorman to the belief that better cat
tie are coming again into their own.
Writing to The Tribune, Mr.. Dor
man says:
"Of interest to Idaho in general and
to Shorthorn breeders in particular
was the annual sale of the Central
Shorthorn association when 48 head
of Shorthorns were sold this week at
the Union stockyards. This organiza-
ton embraces Kansas, Iowa, Arkansas
and Oklahoma. This was its fifteenth
annual sale.
stuff offered at the sale averaged
1888 and this was the highest average
ever set in the history of these sales.
This high average price obtained is, in
my judgment, the best possible indi-
cation obtainable as to the American
people awakening to the realization
that cattle are scarce and the necessity
of improving their herds. Idaho
should profit by the confidence ex-
pressed at this sale which can readily
be taken as readable advance informa'
ton upon what is going to happen in
the line of beef cattle.
"a number of the growers attend
ing this sale stated that Idaho shoaic
lead all other states in the develop
ment and growing of cattle as in thei'
Judgment no ether state produced
such feed of the quality and quantit,
that Idaho produces. The climate

Ablaze evenings forehead DER the earth,
And add each night a ustre till afar
An eightfold splendor shine above the hearth.

Blow the brass trumpet and the harsh-tongued horn

Remember how from wntry dawn till night
Such songs sung in Zion, when again
On the high altar famed the sacred light
And purified from every Syrian stain,
The foam-white walls with golden shields hung,
With crowns and silken spois, and at the shrine
Stood midst their conqueror tribe five chieains sprung
From heroic stock, seed divine.
Five branches grow from Mattathas' stem;
The Blessed John, the Keen-Eyed Jonathan,
Simon the fair, the Burst-of- Spring, the Gem;

Armed with the breastplate and the sword of God,
