Idaho Agricultural College site urged for irrigation era
A Washington County appeal to Idaho lawmakers urges locating the Agricultural College in the Weiser River valley. The letter argues irrigation will transform arid lands into productive valleys and outlines criteria for site selection including accessibility and climate. It notes existing state buildings favor other counties and promotes Washington County as central and suitable for the college’s benefits. An Idaho crime brief follows about a Warren murder sparked by a love rivalry, with Jack Wilkins found shot and suspicion linked to Harry Schiller after he warned him.
