THE address of the constitutional con-
vention To The People of Idaho says:
The school lands which WILL belong
to the new State of Idaho will con
sist of sections 16 and Sc of every
township and 100000 acres granted
under section 2,37S of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, all of
which in round numbers will amount
to 3,340,000 acres, and at $40 per
acre are valued at 500, 100000. We
were of the opinion that sections Is
and So were already school lands and
belonged to the Territory, Statehood
or no Statehood, but did not know
they were all SO valuable as to be
worth $40 per acre.
Idaho news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1887-1891, 1889-08-31

SENATOR QUAY's statement regard
ing the probability of an extra session
of Congress being held bids fair to
be borne out. 1t appears that during
the Presidents trip to the east the
subject was discussed by the Presl-
dent, Secretary Blaine and other par
ty leaders, and the conclusion reached
after several conferences was that an
extra session was desirable to revise
the tariff and internal revenue laws,
with a view of reducing the revenue.
Congressman Dlngley, who is the
authority for this outgiving, is of the
opinion that the session will be call
ed about October 20. He says, in
favor of the proposition, that if Con-
gress should not meet until the reg
ular time in December there would
be only two weeks before the holiday
recess, in which time it would be inn
possible to secure the changes in the
rules necessary to make Legislation
possible. Touching the probable
course of legislation, the congressman
thinks it more than probable that the
Ways and Means Committee will
promptly report separate bill abol.
ishing the tax on tobacco and on
alcohol used in the arts and manu-
features, and another separate bill
providing for certain administrative
reforms in custom work. The tariff
bill, which will be substantially the
bill passed by the Senate at the las
session, will, lie thinks be ready t.
report to the House on the reassemb
ling of Congress after the holidays

smashed the pipe, Not content with
this it picked up rifle and discharg
ed it. All in all it was the prankiest
bit of lightning that has been abroad
in years.-Statesman.
