the same day for the east on the com- 

 pany's time and expense to negotiate 

 for a valuable new peach. Instead of 

 so doing he entered into an agreement 

 to get control of the peach for his own 

 benefit instead of for the company. 



"While W. P. Stark was still an offi- 

 cer of this company his son, with whom 

 he is associated, started a rival com- 

 pany and W. P. Stark was then and still 

 is indebted to this company. These and 

 various other reasons compelled the ma- 

 jority of the stockholders to dispense 

 with his services. Our company is en- 

 joying exceptionally fine trade and is in 

 a prosperous and harmonious condition; 

 harmony having been non-existent for 

 some time past while W. P. Stark was 

 an officer of the company. 



"This simply is a case of a dis- 

 gruntled stockholder with a fancied 

 grievance, the apparent object being to 

 hurt this company. He doubtless thinks 

 his new company will be the gainer by 

 this suit by obtaining the valuable busi- 

 ness this company has built up over the 

 world. He is now, and has been, for 

 many years, a director in this company 

 and has taken an active part in the con- 

 duct of its affairs and is largely respon- 

 sible for its actions and policies. All 

 of the old employees of the company 

 many of whom have been with it from 

 its inception, are still connected with it, 

 and everything is running harmoniously 

 and smoothly at the present time. 



"The business of the company and 

 its financial condition under the present 

 management is away ahead of what it 

 was a year and two years ago, while 

 W. P. Stark was connected with the 

 company. 



"J. W. Matson, the attorney for the 

 company, says that there is absolutely 

 no merit in this suit and that the arti- 

 cles published in some of the Saturday 

 morning St. Louis papers were certainly 

 inspired by some one whose sole de- 

 sire is to do the company as much in- 

 jury as possible, and not to right even 

 a fancied wrong. The people here fully 

 understand the motives of this suit. ' ' 



IDAHO TEEE OEOWEES PROTEST. 



Nurserymen of Idaho, under the im- 

 pression that the State University is 

 entering into competition with them on 

 an unfair basis, have made an appeal 

 to the school to retire from the shade 

 tree business, or take out a license as 

 the regular nurseries do. Announce- 

 ment that the forestry department in- 

 tended to distribute shade trees at a 

 nominal price in different sections of 

 the state provoked the protest from the 

 nurserymen. It was written by Charles 

 T. Hawkes, of Caldwell, president of the 

 State Nurserymen's Association, and 

 was addressed to Dr. Shattuck. The 

 letter, which follows, explains the na- 

 ture of the complaint: 



Dear Sir: It has come to the notice of aeveral 

 nnraerymen of the state that the unlverBlty, 

 throogh Its forestry department, Is engaging

In the nursery business In that it Is selling small 

 shade trees to the public. 



Many of us are indebted to you and your de- 

 partment for favors in the past and we choose 

 to believe that you do not realize that you are 

 competing with us in your new role. The busi- 

 ness you are tfolng Is probably quite small and 

 does not "hurt us" very much, but on account 

 of the principle of the thing, we feel Inclined to 

 ask you to desist from selling anything in the 

 nursery line, since the business might be in- 

 definitely expanded, both In yours and other 

 departments of the state university, and since 

 we fellows are under considerable expense for 

 bonds and license fees that you do not have to 

 meet. 



Will yon not kindly tell us If It will not be 

 possible for you to meet our wishes In this mat- 

 ter, or else take out a regular license and fur- 

 nish bond as the rest of us are compelled to do? 



We have no objection to your distributing a 

 few samples of the new varieties of shade trees 

 you have tested and found useful in this 

 region, but we think it should be without charge 

 to the planter, since the state university Is a 

 public institution, supported by general taxation, 

 and we are not willing to consider black walnut 

 and black locust new, or unknown to the public 

 at the present time. 



Thanking you for your prompt consideration 

 of this matter, we are, 



Yours very truly,

 President State Nurserymen's Association.

 alarmed, since the university is send-

 little known varieties, for experimental 

 purposes, not selling them, but making 

 a small charge to cover packing, etc.
