A Happy Ex-Dsiegats.

Delegate Dubois, or, rather, ex-Dele-
gate Dubois. Is one OF the happiest men
in Washington to-day. Early yester-
day he carried the bill 10 the president
and requested that IL be signed on the
Fourth of July. The president in
formed him that II the bill was signed
on the Fourth year would expire
before the star was placed on the flag.
Dubois waited until to-day, and decided
that he preferred to have the bill signed,
so as to come IN on the flag and the
president agreed with him. lie took
stub pen and common wooden holder
aad signed the bill and gave the pen to
Mr. Dubois, and Idaho was a state. The
pen and holder will be presented to the
state by cx-Dclcgate Dubois who will
leave on the 9th for Idaho.
He wants to get up bill to ratify the
agreement with the Cnur d Alene In.
dians, which Is now on the speakers $
table. lie intends to make speech on
the bill, II allowed to do so.
lie thinks the state election will be
held about the 18th OF October. When
asked IL he was candidate for senator,
Mr. Dubois said that he had not yet
stated 10 anyone that he wasa candidate.
He believed the people of Idaho owed
everything to tho republicans and that
their best interests would be served by
sending republican to congress, ard he
would devote his influence to that end
He has received stacks OF congra,ulatory
letters to-day, and says that everybody
in Idaho, except the Mormons, will Gel
cbrate the Fourth of July. I, is moro
than likely that Mr.. Dubois and Coy.
ornor Shoup will be the first senators.
Everybody in Washington greets Dubois
as:"senator."

THE NEW STATE.
Some of the Provisiony OF the Con-
stltutiou.

WAsBIseroS, July +.-By the consti-
tuition OF Idaho, which was approved
and ratified by the act admitting the
state, all the officers of the territory be-
come state officers. 1t Is also provided
that the governor, or in his absence, the
secretary of state, or In the absence Of
both, the president Of the constitutional
convention shall issue a proclamation
calling an election, md fixing a day,
which shall not be less than forty days
af,er tho issuance of the procla nation,
nor more than ninety days after the I'D
mission OF the state, for the holding OF
the election.
Governor shoup will probably imme-
diately issue the proclamation calling
an election. Ex-Delegate Dubois thought
1t would be held about the 10Th of Oc-
tober, but 1t will have to be held before
the Sd of that month. All the Mormons
in Idaho, before they register, or vote,
will be compelled TO subscribe to the

The Fight Against Major Powell.

The delegation from North and South
Dakota, Montana and Washington be-
lievo that they will have little more to
do with the committee on appropria-
tlons, so far rs the irrigation survey is
concerned. Senator Casey says the ex-
animation of Major Powell by the sew
eral senators practically makes their
case for them. The senators who have
been supporting Mr., Powell have little
or nothing To say. 1t is almost sure
that the work begun will result
in reorganization of the irrigation
projects, and that something practical
will be done. There has been too much
theory and too little work done thus far.
The land office officials will make every
effort to save from the operation Of the
withdrawal such lands as are known to
bc good for homestead settlement, and
which can not be benefited or utilized
for irrigation purposes. 1t is also PROB
able that the amount allowed for irriga-
tion surveys will be decreased.

Decided by Delexate Dubois.

The reason for the presidents action
in signing the Idaho bill to-day was an
interesting one. The president II seems,
found that the law ordained that the
new stars should be placed upon the
American flag for each new state on the
Fourth of July succeeding its admission
to the Union. The president left 1t to
Dubois, delegate from Idaho, whether to
have tho bill signed at once and get the
star, or leave the star over until July 4,
1901. Dubois chose the star now, and,
rs result the bill was signed, and forty
three stars are due upon the aag to.mor.
row.

Washington, Montana, North and
South Dakota demanded, but is much
better than was first promised.
Senator Squire wanted $4,000 for
Washington alone, and is somewhat dis
appointed, although in dividing up the
appropriation II is probable that Wash

amount appropriated.

Should the matter ever be brought be-
fore the senate. there are eight senators
who are ready to puncture the matter
with the facts rs they know them to
exist. Senators Allen and Squire, OF
Washington, will show that their state
mas been badly treated. The sarcastic
Senator Sanders will be aided by Senator
Power In showing that Mr.. Powell knows
nothing about Montana, while Senator
Casey is loaded for bear as regards
North Dakota, and. so far as the irriga-
ion OF that state is.concerned, can teach
Mr.. Powell all there is to know. Senator
Moody is ready 10 do battle for South
Dakota, while there are half a dozen
senators from the older states who seri-
ously object TO having tho lands In their
