Mustn't Doubt Anything in the Bible.
1t was the custom of an old Southern
darby to have class of twenty or so little
boys to whom he used to give Bible lessons,
generally on Sunday afternoon.
1t was his practice to give out on one
Sunday the lesson to be prepared for the
next. The old fellow was little blind and
good bit deaf, and this fact induced the
young fellows to put up job Oh him. In
the old boys absence they glued two pages
OF the Bible together, and on the following

Look Out for the Buzz Saw.

A folded sheet iron newspaper Gmita-

dishonest persons who steal papers that

that will be hailed with delight by all

rat trap attachment and buzz saw,
which is worked by concealed machin-
cry, duly and properly wound up in tho

bouncing on the newspaper sets the ma

The following suggestions occur In
the report of the committee on immi.
grafton at the Commercial Convention.
The constitution Of the state provides
for the apportionment Of commits
sioner of immigration. He ought to
I've in the first place the head Of a
bureau Of public spirited men rather
than the sole agent Of the state in the
promotion Of its national interests.
Every county in Idaho ought to fur
nish him with fullest information re-
latlng to their respective localities,
their needs and opportunities. So full
should be the local information pro-
vided that when the commissioner
shall gather the whole for publication
the resources of our state shall be COM
pletely mirroled. Without the cooper
alton of local correspondence, county
and city officers and boards OF trade,
the commissioner cannot do the thor
ough work required Of him.

The legislature does not at present
absorb all of interest centered at the
state capitol. The commercial conven-
ton in session at the same place divides
honors with it. A glance over the list
of committees gives fair conception
of the importance and aim Of the con-
ven ton. 1t proposes to consider the
Columbian Fair, immigration, public
lands and water rights, merchants
licenses, railroad tariffs, extension Of
railroad systems, mines, manufactoris
and the preservation Of forests. These
are all questions Of magnitude and inn
portance, and a careful consideration Of
them cannot fail to be of interest and
practical worth to all sections Of the
state. The discussions made and con-
illusions reached by that body will be
carefully watched by energetic citizens
all over the state, who hope much from
this concerted plan Of action.

The Agricultural College should be
located where natural advantages Of
soil, climate and location all seem
fitted for the development Of an insti-
tuition that will best represent the In
terests of the state in the field of prac-
teal and experimental knowledge of
agriculture, horticulture and all kim
dred sciences. The whole object Of the
endowment of such college is lost
sight of If It's location Is to he deter
mined by wire-pulling, political trick
ing, subsidies and what not schemes
for preferment. Lewiston wants the
college but she has no subsidies to
offer. If, when her advantages are
fairly presented to the Legislators, a.
soon they will be by proper memorial,
they fail to present an argument con-
elusive enough to secure for her the
college and endowment, let them go to
some more favored spot, but let 1t be by
the law Of natural selection not politi-
cal preference or partisanship.

Everything comes to him who can
wait, seems to be the motto Of Lewis
ton enterprise. A new idea has been
sprung lately, by tone who knows. +"
1t offers another practical solution of
the the question of cheap transporta-
ton. Instead of taxing the farmers to
built competing line Of railroad to
the coast, thus forcing down the freight
rates, q writer to the Spokane Chron-
icle suggests the more feasible and
practical plan of opening the Columbia
and Snake rivers to Lewiston and
using this great natural artery to float
the produce of the Inland Empire to
tide water. 1t is asserted that the
entire cost of opening the river will
not exceed $780, 900, and that boats
and barges could transport wheat to
Astoria for three dollars ton and
make money. Ten counties in Oregon,
eighteen in Washington and two in
Idaho lie along this great commercial
highway. A few bushels OF wheat
contributed by each farmer, q few
dollars by each merchant, interested In
cheap transportation, and the necessary
sum could he easily raised. The plan
IL. far more practical one than the
railroad scheme and no doubt the sug-
gestiOn will receive due consideration.

A solution has ut length been found
to the sentiment for Northern Eena.
tor, SO manifestly just, equitable and
fair, that there can be no shadow of a
doubt that the vexed Senatorial ques-
ton will be settled In few days. The
present Legislature will be called upon
to elect three United States Senators.
There are at present eighty-four mem
bers Of the Senate, the terms oftwenty-
eight ofwhom expire every two years.
When the Senators from Idaho reach
Washington the long and short term
will be apportioned between them by
lot. To one will be given the term
expiring March 4, 1893, while the
other will be required to relinquish
his seat on the 4th OF March, 1891. In
answer to a telegram sent him from
Boise for information on the subject,
Senator George F. Hoar of Massa-
chusetts, Chairman Of the Committee
on privileges and elections, replied,
that the Legislature could Immediately
proceed after the election of the first
two Senators, to elect q Senator to sue
coed the one whose term would expire
March 4, 1891. Now 1t has been pro-
posed by the members of the southern
counties to offer one of these Senator
ial seats to Northern Idaho. We do
not care TO go into the details of the
plan to-day further than to say that 1t
has the cordial endorsement of Cover
nor ShOup and Mr.. Dubois and as 1t is
such an equitable. offer from the major
ity, we feel warranted In saying that
II win be gracefully and gladly ac-
eepted - q pleasant solution to per-
hiking question. ~ Boise Statesman.

Gov. 6houp's message Is before the
people. It is conceded by all to be an
able document, complete and concise,
covering all su jects of immediate and
pressing interest now demanding the
attention Of the legislature. He re-
views the present condition Of the new
state and points out the path Of future
progress. He recommends that liberal
appropriations be made to advertise
Idaho at the Columbian Fair. The
water rights are to be carefully guarded
that no monopolies gain control. The
selection and disposition of state lands,
our public institutions, immigration
and other important interests likely to
call for legislative action, are touched
upon and in q manner that will not
fail 10 recommend itself to the good
Judgment Of every one.

which he attributed to rats running about the
basement of the building. where a small sized
nation of rodents holds sway over pretty much
everything stored there. He Kept at his work,
thinking that In a few moments he would get
and dispeIse the mauraders, but hearing a
repetition OF the sounds which were continually
growing louder. he turned his head in their di-
rection and discovered smoke issuing from the
floor at the east end of the room. where there
is a trap door leading to the basement. By this
time the room was pretty well filed with smoke
and it looked as though good sized fire was
raging below. Quickly summoning assistance
Mr.. Lenhart directed two men to raise the trap
door while he should pour water on the flames
After one bucket had been emptied. the incip-
lent confagration was happily arrested, but to
make sure of the matter. the stairs and floor of
the basement were flooded with water. The fire
originated in the sash of a window between the
basement and the engine room the east. and
the flames had crawled along up the stairs. and
were about ready to make their presence seen
in the upper room when discovered. The fire
undoubtedly had its origin by the ignition of
matches carried away by the rats which have

places. 1t was very fortunate that it occurred
in the day time. No damage beyond a severe
