Idaho has much to hope for in the
new year. The new state is awake
aud alive to every question of prog
ression and development. Prosperity,
push and energy characterize its citi-
Gems In every section. 1t will be a
year ofgrand development everywhere.
The wonderful resources of Idaho are
rapidly becoming known both east and
west. Here are rich agricultural vail
leys Of nlatchless fertility, mines of UNI
told mineral wealth, boundless forests,
and magnificent streams to irrigate,
and make fertile, tracts of arid land !.
Idaho can with her varied resources
maintain. great population, and the
0esning year will add largely to the
present number. 1t is safe to assert
that moro miles Of railroad will be built
in Idaho than in any state in the
northwest. The central portion of the
state, now isolated and retarded in it's
development. will be crossed and re.
crossed by competing lines, and pros
porous cities and towns spring up along
the routes. Idaho will make great
progress in the coming year.

"Such kicking about bills" is the
general complaint from all the mer-
chants as the yearly accounts were
squared up and presented. The credit
system gets black eye, always, when
collection day comes. Some day it will

prosperity and happiness will date from
chat event. drumming bill" is dam
eerous tastime. 1t is breeder of hard
feelings, feuds, bad debts and mortgages.
Short settlements mike long friends.
Monthly statements and collections are
growing in favor, and they presage the
coming of the cash system. Monthly
statements arc check on undue en-
penditures and they tend toward econ
omy and prosperity. Bills are easily
collected when there Is cash balance,
and kicking will soon grow into disfa-
vor and settlements will be promptly
and cheerfully made.

A memorial has already passed both
branches of the legislature asking Con.
gress to make an appropriation of $780,

admitting Idado into the Union, the
federal government donated to the
State over one-half million acres of pub

from which these lands are to he set

The question of the location of the
Agricultural College will he the first
important step to be taken by the leg
slature when it cOnvenes after the
holidays. 1t is aquestion of general
interest to every section of the state.
This is public institution in which
all are vitality interested. Its growth,
development and scope of its useful
ness depend SO largely on its location
that careful consideration should be
given to the selection of the site. That
the highest possible benefit may accrue
to the state, that location offering
the best natural advantages should be
chosen. 1t is not question of finan-
cial profit to the state, but of practical
benefit. The youth of Idaho are to be
trained in practical and scientific
knowledge concerning the resources of
the state and in the methods and APP
planes for the highest development
of the same. Owing to the peculiar
topography of our state, its range of
natural products Is wide one. The
question of altitude is an important
feature in the study of our products,
and the question of irrigation, too, a
vital one. Adapt ability of soil and
climatic influence are other features Of
highest moment. TO obtain practical
and scientific knowledge on all ques-
tons of agriculture, horticulture, viii
culture, and to study the effect of alti-
tude and irrigation, are the objects and
aims of such an institution. Its useful
ness as a public institution depends
solely on its location, and the choice
of a site should fall to the point Of nat
ural adaptation and not to the point
of the strongest political pull or the
largest subsidy.

That Extra (N Session.

Boise Statesman.
The intention of those who are not
suited with the political situation seems
to he to try to demonstrate that this is
an extra or special session of the legis-
lature, and also that an alleged error
having been made by Governor Shoup
in converting that body, therefore the
election of all three senators is illegal
and all action Of the legislature void.
In short, that the country has gone to
the "demnition bow vows"
Governor Shoup's message was
couched in language which unmistaka-
bly, called for regular and general ses-
sion of the first legislature of Idaho by
virtue of the power granted him in Sec
ton IA of the schedule and ordinance
which says: 1.-THE governor-elect of
the state, Immediately upon his quail
flying and entering upon the duties of
his Office, shall issue his proclamation
converting the legislature of the state"
There is nothing said about its being a
special or an extra session. 1t is a ses-
sion held pursuant to general election
for general purposes, and also for the
purpose named in this section, viz: to
elect United S tates senators. The fact
that this is mentioned in the schedule
and ordinance leads to the inquiry as to
what the purpose of the schedule is. In
its own terms 1t declares its object to
Ike to provide for an interval of adjourn-
ment, and 'that no Inconvenience may
arise from the change Of territorial
government to a permanent State gov
eminent" Sec Is, Immediately fol-
lowing the PROVISION for the conven-
ing of the first session Is as follow 8:
"The legislature shall pass all necessary
laws to carry into effect the provisions
of this constitution"
From no point of view Is there any
thing to indicate that it was the inten-
ton of the constitutional convention to
make the first session special session,
or an extra session. All action that has
been taken by Ex-Governor Shoup has
been comfortable to the powers vested
in him. The present legislature was
convened in general and regular session
as the first legislature of Idaho to "pass
all necessary. laws" and the power to
elect Senators was expressly given to it.
Other provisions in other sections are
made for extra sessions, the wise fore
thought of the trainers of the cOnstitu-
ton providing that in case the first
regular session of the legislature should
not be able to complete, within the
limited time given to it, all that the
emergencies incident to change of
government required, the Governor
might convene an extra session, specif-
ically designating the legislation neces-
sary. At the end of the present gener-
al and regular session 1t is not unlikely
that special session will be called, but
SO far as the present one is concerned
there is no question in the minds OF
any who have given the matter fair in
vestigation about its being a regular
session.

Lewiston has no other pull to make
for the Agricultural College than the
claim Of having the best natural loca-
ton In the state for such an institution.
Here soil, climate, altitude, everything
that Is needed for the highest success
Of such an institution, combine in
fullest measure. If fitness Is made the
criterion Of choice, Lewiston will get
the college.

While the late Indian craze was at
it's height, Geo. Moses, one of the chief
men Of the Nez Perez tribe, called to
look over the latest dispatches. A Spo-
kane daily being handed him, he read
with evident interest the uprising Of
the Sioux at Pine Ridge agency. The
contrast between the quarrelsome
Sioux and the peaceful and intelligent
Nez PIERCE Indians could scarcely be
more clearly drawn.

Right to the Point.

East Oresonian.
An "Open river to the sea" is what
the people of Eastern Washington,
Eastern Oregon and Idaho mostly are
in search Of. BY proper work OH the
part of the people, aided by the press,
this "open river" can be secured. We
suggest that the legislature of Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho give the
money they expect to appropriate for
the Worlds fair toward securing an
''open river to the sea-" This would
BE- expanding the peoples money fol
the sole benefit Of the people. We ask
that the press of this section keep the
matter before the people, and we ask
our associates in other parts of the state
and the Northwest to reinforce us
in our work. The Oregonian can
help us much. Will 1t see to It that
every day in its editorial columns an
"open river" is demanded? fit will
the people, in time, will rise up and
call 1t blessed.
We want an ''open river" because it
will be the means of saving the people
from the clutches of monopoly an be
a check on organized effort for the
purpose of taking advantage of the
peoples condition.
An "Open river" means freedom, and
no other thing Is as great as freedom to
us. The birds of the air and the fishes
of the sea have freedom and 80 happy
are they! Man can have even more
than these-he can have peace and
plenty besides and be safe from the
piratical blOod-thirstiness of the "large
birds" and "big fish" because he has
reason and can find knowledge. An
''Open river to the sea" Is only one Of the
fruits to he had by working In the right
direction.
An "open river" gives to the men of
this inland empire equal privileges with
their fellOwmen on the other side of the
without diminishing their
share in the least particular, and that Is
their desire and desert. Especial privi-
|ege" is not desired; only u "few" can
enjoy it and "many" compose the
people.

and the blows left their mark.
In the drst three rounds the ex-
changes were even. Lyons landed the
moro heavily, but MurphY's rallies were
vigorous, and he got home repeatedly.
The infghting was sharp and both men
did their whitest.
From the fourth round on Lyons
forced the fighting. His body blows,
combined with the sharp work, had told
on Murphy's wind and he acted on the
defensive. but defended himself with
science and skill and was not to be
caught mapping.
In the sixth round Lyons pushed his
advantage for all there was in it, and on
call OF time in the seventh it was plain
which way the decision would go.
The seventh round was short and
sweet. Lyons fought Murphy against
the ropes and hit him where he pleased
Murphy was fought to standstill; then
his opponent shook his hand and the
fight was finished twenty seconds before
the three minutes had expired.

Interest was at its height when Carter

ALEXANDRIA, Va, July pa sensa-

earthcd yesterday by two boys John
Walsh and John Coleman were wading
in Hunting Creek, between the bridge
and the brickyard, when one of them
stumbled over an obstruction. Reach
ing down he brought up bag, which
on being opened. to their horror, was
found to contain the body OF a white
girl, apparently four years old. In the
bag also was huge stone intended to
keep it under water. 1t had bruised the
body considerably. A big dent on the
childs head showed that the little one
had been killed by blow from some
blunt instrument, its skull having been
fractured.
The boys at once reported the matter
to Constable Supple, and the body was
yemoved to Undertaken Demaine's
establishment. Coroner Purvis held an
inquest, empanneling as jury Messrs.
James McCuen, French Smoot, j. W.
