The LODd0u'S Rush

The great rush at the London Saturday
as announced in THE ARGUS of that day,
far surpassed the anticipations of Messrs.
Leveen and Joseph, the managers. and
while, as they supposed they had laid
in an abundant supply to meet the trade,
they found before the day had far ad :
vanced that they had miscalculated and
that many would be disappointed. a

the afternoon were unable to get what
they wanted, but Mr.. Leveen while re-

sketch OF the Life of the Dec eased-
A Ten Weeks llIness-Time of
the Funeral

DR.. Thomas Gait died at his home 1908,
Second avenue, at 5:45 last evening. The
fatal malady was cirrhosis of the liver,
with which as all know the doctor had
been patient sufferer for many weeks.
He had been confined to his bed ten
weeks today, although he had been suf-
fering for some time before giving up.
1t was apparent from the outset that his
allment was q serious one and DR.. Gait
conceded in the views of his attendants,
Drs. Truesdsle.and Craig. that the chances
we're greatly against his recovery. Never.
theless he had shown wonderful vitality
and physical endurance and not until
afternoon yesterday did he become en-
tirely unconscious. and he remained so
until the last.
DR.. Gait was born in Ian caster county
Pa, July 10. 1881. His ancestry was
American as far back as six generations
born on American soil. his early ances-

Agricultural College.

Robert Schleicher returned early this
week from Boise where he has been
looking after our interests in the Agri-
cultural College fight. Lewiston has
made gallant pull so far and the op-
position were surprised at the strength
developed. Mr.. Schleicher reports that
the senatorial fight absorbed every other
interest and blockaded all other legis-
lation for about three weeks. Lewiston
stands best of any single locality named
as site for the college, and nothing
but combination of South Idaho
towns will defeat the bill on it's final
passage. He brings a most fiattering
account of the work being done by the
Nez Perce contingent. Wing, Weller,
Sperry and Goodni hit are all recognized
active workers and are winning high
reputation for the county. Jas. w.
Reid returned in company with Mr.
Schleicher but stopped off at Colfax on
egal business.

Captain Baughman. on his return
from Wal)a Walla, brings the glorious
news that some work will be done inn
mediately on the opening of the river.
He was called by telegram to meet
Captain Symonds, at Portland, who is
the government engineer in charge of
the work on Snake and Columbia rivers.
Three boats are now being built at
Pasco for work on the river this coming
summer. Captain Baughman was
placed in charge of the work above
Riparia and will take one of the boats
and work crew of men between this
point and Ripara after the high water,
occasionel by the spring freshets, has
subsided. Captain Baughman has now
available $l5,OOO at his disposal to pros
ecute the work of the year, and it is
likely from the pressure now being
brought to bear on both State and Ma
tional legislation, that larger appropri-
ations will be available for next year.
The work once started will be earnest
for more to follow. A free and open
river will be a priceless boon to the
people.

people.

The glorious rainfall of last Friday
night has not been precedented here in
years. The water fell in sheets and
flooded everything, standing to the
depth of several inches all over the
streets. The rain guage showed the
next morning that .SS of an inch had
fallen in the night. Since then there
have been slight deposits of moisture
and from all indications more is soon
to follow. The crop prospect for next
year is made exceedingly bright and
every one is consequently elated. The
ground is now thoroughly soaked and
with but a minimum of moisture in
the spring and early summer, the crop
will make most excellent yield. The
moisture that fell as rain here came in
the form of snow in the country about
and gives to the hills a winterish
aspect.

a large and flattering audience on Fri

"Gipsy's Warning or Pla er Gold" q
popular and amusing melo-drama.
Mr.. L. G. Mitchell and Miss Kate
Rathbun, as leading gentlemen and
lady, sustained their respective parts
in manner highly creditable to those
rising young artists. Messrs. Thomp-
son and Robinson and Miss Ada
Hatcher, as "Mike," "Joe" and "Ma-
tilda," formed trio of mirth producers
not soon to be forgotten. The minor
parts were all in good hands and the
popular company scored another sue
cess. The management announced a

Prof. Ross furnished the music and

the subject would occupy at least two
hours time which was now very valu-
able and could be used to advantage in
discussing other questions. The legls-
lation of two years ago in the Territor-
ial legislature was hostile to Alturas
county, and to that course could be
traced the cause of all the trouble now
existing. Property had deprecated in
value, the county was a defahlter on
her bonds and without hope or means
of payment unless relief could be OBJ
tained at this time. He argued that
the bill did not offend against the con.
stitution and quoted the vexed section
3 of article IS, and then referred to a
plumber of authorities in order to sub
stantiate his position that there was
no conflict between the bill and the
constitution.
Wing spoke In opposition to the bill,
arguing against its constitutionality.
Finch argued against its constitu tom
ality and said he would be tempted, in
case the bill passed, to introduce one
taking part of Kootenai county and
adding it to his own, Shoshone, then
changing the name of ShOshone county
to Kootenai and Kootenai to Shoshone.
Wells replied to him and stated that
Shoshone county, he had no doubt,
wished portion of Kootenai county,
and that with the money of Shoshone
she had been abled to secure six legis-
lators while Kootenai had but one and
a half.
The bill was then passed by a vote Of
10 toS.
Hawkins objected to the approving
of the journal rs it did not contain the
amendment he had offered on the pre-.
vious day in regard to patents ON sena-
tors. Martin moved that the resolu-
ticn in full be expunged from the Jour-
nal of the House which motion was
carried. This does not erase it, but
when the journal is printed it will not
appear. An attempt was made to take
up the agricultural bill out of its usual
order, but this was defeated, and In
regular order 1t may come up next
Friday or Tuesday.
Briggs introduced House bill 95, pro.
viding for the manner in which the
names of towns, villages and cities may
be changed. A majority Of the legal
voters of any city may petition the
county commissioners who shall then
call special election. The electors ut
said election are to designate on their
ballots their choice of name. It IL
understand this is intended to pave the
way for changing the name Of Eagle
Rock to Idaho Falls.
Ballentine introduced House bill O.,
an act establishing the State Agricul-
tural college at Emmett, in this county,
also creating State board of agricril-
ture and defining its duties and
powers.
Ramsey introduced House bill 81. an
act concerning fees and compensations
