Another County Heard From.

E. A. Jordan, a representative of
Cassia county, comes to the front
and gives notice that he will intro
duce a bill in the legislature TO
change the boundaries of Cassia
county. He, too, wants a slice OF
Alturas to help Cassia county out,
and petitions are being circulated
in the last named county for the
purpose of accomplishing this latest
dissection scheme. Cassia is a lit
tie more modest than other coun-
ties. She only asks all that por-
ton of Alturas county lying south
of the first standard parallel south
which encircles about fifty miles of
the Oregon Short Line railroad.
From this 'slice" Alturas derives
revenue of about $4,000 annu-
ally. The petition in aid of the
scheme sets forth shat the assessor
of Alturas is compelled to travel
over one hundred miles" to reach
this section of the county sought
to be annexed to Cassia. Alturas
county allows her assessor good
percentage, and the amount of as
sessable property to be found IN
that part of her domain, subject to
taxation, is not 80 insignificant as
to require any compulsion on the
part of the assessor to perform his
| duties.
A Cassia county exchange says ::
sLet us have q slice of Alturas
county by all means. We need it
in our business and Alturas does
not. The county is too large and
if not cut down by attaching por-
tons to other counties will event
ually be divided. Now is the time
to move in the matter" Here is a
profound argument proving why
Alturas should be divided, and it
will take no ordinary member OF
that august legislative assembly to
comprehend the force of it.
A large family Of counties are APP
pealing to the magnanimity of the
lawmakers to give them a "slice;
of old Alturas. And while consid-
ering the appeals the members OF
the 18th session of the Idaho legis-
lature will have an opportunity tc
immortalize themselves in the
"slicing operation" during the re
naming thirteen days that their
already overtaxed energies have to
struggle through.
The impression now seems tc
prevail that in consequence Of
the numerous projects of annexa
ton and segregation, at the closing
scenes of the session the original
ors of these measures will witnes;
their fate of being consigned to thu
waste basket and sold Alturas
will be herself again, and awaiting
patiently another call for distribu
ton among her legatees two years
! hence

The Barley-Corn Club.

The entertainment given by the
Barley-Corn Club last Wednesday
evening established the fact that
the new club was a perfect success
and had within itself elements of
permanency that must make it's
founders feel that already it has
passed out of the experimental
stage. The little play, adapted
from a bit of Greek mythology, was
very we'll acted by the four young
people who took part in it. The
stage was a little gem of itself and
"a great credit to the architects and
designers. Mr.. Jos. Montgomery
and Mr.. Harry Petit. The scene
was set as an artists studio, and
those who knew how short a time
had been devoted to the prepare
tons were surprised to see what
had been accomplished. The drop
curtain was very artistic and was
the subject of f1attering comments
The Ketchum Juvenile Band have
become such favorites that theil
appearance is always heartily vel
coined, and under their able leader
Mr. Montgomery, they played in
their usual acceptable manner. The
vocal music by the young folks was
enjoyed by all and heartily applaud
ed. I A recitation, The Newsboy,'
was next in order and then followed
the shadow pantomime, which was
excellent, and the funny perform
ances Of the. dentist and patient
were greeted with shouts of laugh
ter and hearty applause. The las1
number on the programme was mu
sic by the Amateur Band, which
has just been organized and wht
had played together only FIVE times
before. The audience would no
have imagined that they were sucl
new beginners if they had not beer

Sudden Death.

On Monday afternoon, between
IL and / o'clock, Mrs. Graham, wife
of Colonel Matt Graham, the we'll
known mining man, was discovered
lying dead in her house at Broad
ford. Her brother, Mr.. Harrington,
went into the house at the time
above stated and found her lying
on the floor near the stove, with
some of the bed clothes around her,
indicating that she had been en-
deavoring to kindle fire. She had
been a sufferer from rheumatism
for many years, and it is supposed
that the disease having reached her
heart caused the sudden death. The
funeral took place on Thursday at
Broadford. Col. Graham is in Lon
don on mining business.

The Congressman Not Discouraged Over
Oklahoma Prospects.

The Congressman Not Discouraged Over
Oklahoma Prospects.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The story now
being extensively published in Western
papers that Mr.. Springer had abandoned
the hope of securing the passage Of the
Oklahoma bill at the present session is en-
tirely without foundation. On the con-
trary, the prospects for the early passage
OF that measure seem never SO favorable
as now. The bill is the first business in
order on next suspension day-anuary =
and also in Committee OF the Whole and
notices were mailed yesterday to all tina
members requesting their presence imme-
diately after the recess in order TO insure
full House and favorable action ON the
bill
1t is the universal opinion here that the
bill has gained i'm strength, because of the
filibustering tactics of the small minority,
which have thus far prevented final vote,
and it is estimated that under the worst
circumst ances not more than 40 votes
can be mustered in the House against the
bill. with the probability that the oppo-
siton vote will be much less than that
number.
In regard to the prospects of the bill Mr..
Springer said yesterday: 81 can not con-
ceive how this report originated that 1
expressed an opinion that the oklahoma
bill was not likely to pass. No such opin-
ion was ever entertained by me. / was
never more confident than now that the
bill will pass and by a majority that
will astonish the special interests which
are the chief source of opposition
The bill has the advantage both
in Committee of the Whole and on
su Spension day and its friends, consisting
of at least three-quarters of tho House, will
push it to a final vote in spite of the fill
buster. If it has come to this that less
than half a dozen members can prevent, by
abuse of the rules of the House, the passage
; of a bill of National Importance in which
millions of people are deeply interested
! then the rules must be and viii be changed.
The Oklahoma bill VIII he pres to O.
final vote, and, in my judgment, at an
early day,
