COLD CONTINUES
AND RECORDS CO
by ALL BOAR DS
Temperatures Wednes-
day Set N e w L ow
Since 1888; No Let-Up
In Sight.

Weather smashed its way to the
front page OF every newspaper in the
Tuesday night shattered all records
tire nation gripped in a cold wave.
Tuesday night shattered all decords
in Caldwell since the memorable wint-
er of 1888 when the mercury in ther-
mometers then in use froze and fore
stalled further records of temperature
decline. Tuesday nights low at the
College of Idaho (officiaD was 81
degrees below zero. Reports from
Wilder indicated there of SO below
while other localities report readings
even below that
Wednesday afternoon, with the sun
shining from a clear sky. the College
OF Idaho weather station thermometer
refused to pass the zero mark on its
upward way. At 3 o'clock, the read
ings stood a; 2 degrees below from
which point it was expected to recede.
Not only was Tuesday night the
coldest night of years but no tempera-
ture even clearly approaching that
has been recorded. According to DR..
Boone, president of the College of
Idaho and official weather observer
for this district, in January, 1922. the
Caldwell coolest weather" reads like
this:
January 4, 1888 AS (mercury
frozcn)
Nov. 2o. 1896 81 Coolest Now
Feb. II, 1905 81 Coolest Feb.)
Jan. 3, 1910 -2l' Coolest in Fl
ycars)
Dec. 9, 1919 Is Coolest Dec.)
Jan. l9, 1922 -22' Coolest in SO
years)
These figures were printed in The
Tribune, January "a, 1922. They may
now be supplemented with the state
mcnt that on December 1924. all
existing records for December cold
have been shattered and that Their
mometers have not registered colder
day since 1888.
Mercury freezes at about 40 de-
grees below zero, according to DR..
Boone While the official weather
bureau station was not opened at the
college until 1904, DIR. Boone was
taking observations in 1888 for his
own uses and recalls distinctly that
cold period.
According to DR.. Boone's memory
Of that record smashing winter, snow
began falling on New Years day. A
total fall Of "a inches was recorded
and then, just as at present, the
weather turned sharply colder. All
Of January was cold but for IS days
the cold was unusually severe. 1t
differed from the present cold period
in that for days the thermometers
never approached a zero reading
while on several days midday readings |
we're close to the 20 degrees below
point Old timers Will remember that
cold best as the winter when Snake
river frozc over hard enough to per-
nit heavy freight wagons to pass on
The ice-a fact that seems well estab-
ishcd.
Just how long the present cold snap
will continue, DR.. Boone refuses to
wen consider. His business, he
points out. is to record, not to pre-
lict. But DR.. Boone does say that
continued cold for a period OF the
cngth of the present one is probably
without parallel since 1883. Wednes-
lay was the ninth day Of continued
severe cold while predictions from
he Pacific coast indicate continued
:old for at least 48 hours and posi-
,ly longer.

Washington, May 30-Treasury's
views on the tax reduction bin pre-
pared aftersstudy Of the measure by
Secretary Mellon and the department
of experts will be laid before Presi-
dent Coolidge tomorrow by Mr.. Mel

Mr.. Mellon will be accompanied to

president the latest estimates asxt0
probable expenditures for the coming

Ask Mutual Covenants

IF We receive anything we must
surrender something" said the presi-.
dent, speaking of the world court
and the question of American MEM
bership in it. The ideal would be
for nations to become parties to mu-
tual covenants limiting their mill
tary establishments. and making It
obvious that they are not maintained
to menace each other. We may as
well face the question candidly and
if we are willing to assume these
new duties in exchange for the bene-
fits which would accrue to US, let us
say so. If we are not willing, let US
say that. We can accomplish moth
ing by taking doubtful or ambigu-
GUS position"
The president did not refer direct

Warning was given by the president

HOUSE PROGRESSES
IN CONSIDERATION
FARM RELIEF BILL

Washington, May 30-As the house
today moved a notch nearer a vote
on the McNary- Haugen farm relief
bill. uncertainty as to whether con-
gress will adjourn before the June
political conventions continued.
Demands for favorable action on
the measure or an acceptable substi-
tute, reclamation relief. Muscle
Shoals. and the bill to abolish the
railroad labor board. were reiterated.
and various representatives and SEN
ators continued predictions that ad-
journment might be blocked, but Re-
publican leaders, particularly in the
house. expressed confidence that de-
velopments next week would pave
the way for windup of the session
by Saturday.
During the day, Senator Borah, Re-
publican, Idaho. who has been insist
ing on disposition Of legislation de-
signed to afford relief to settlers on
reclamation projects, conferred with
President Coolidge. Later, the word
went out from the white house that
the. president hoped nothing would
prevent congressional action on the
proposals now pending before the
house irrigation committee. which
carry out the recommendation of
Secretary Works fact-finding COM
mittee.
The house resumed consideration
of the McNary Haugen bill with it's
supporters somewhat at sea as to
what should be done in the event it
meets defeat. Some declared they
believed q substitute should be re-
sorted to, although there appeared to
be marked difference Of opinion as
to what sort of a compromise should
be offered, while others commended
that rejection Of the McNary- Haul
gen proposal would show the fulfil
ity of attempting to get effective
farm relief legislation through at
this session and that congress might
as well adjourn.
At the outset of todays session OPP
ponents- of the McNary-Haugen bill
attempted to obtain assurance that
q vote would be deferred until next
week. Representative Longworth,
the Republican leader. declined to
promise that a vote would be post
poned.
Only one fourth Of the measures
% pages had been read. With q num-
Der of controversial sections still to
be disposed of. an amendment offered
by Representative Jones, Democrat,
Texas, and designed to afford the
same price increase benefits to pro-
ducers of wheat and livestock as to
producers of flour and meat products,
was adopted.
