Idaho's representatives in congress
have declared their intention to assist,
in every possible way, the congress
men from Oregon in securing the pass
age of the bill introduced by him ask
ing an appropriation of $4,000 for the
purpose of making Snake river naviga-
BILE from Huntington bridge to point
near the Seven Devils mining camp,
thus opening Snake river,to navigation
for distance of about 260 miles. The
Idaho delegation certainly should
work for this measure, since the open
ing and development of the richest
mines in the state depends to a great
extent upon the navigation ofthe river
between those points.

Congressman Sweets bill for the
preservation of Idaho forests contains
these features: The bill provides that
lands shall be granted in trust to the
state. The state shall not prohibit the
cutting of timber for mining and do
nestle purposes; charges may be made
by the state for wood and stumpage to
secure sufficient funds with which to
carry out the purposes Of the act; ex-
portation of logs and lumber shall be
prohibited by the state; the legislature
is authorized to enact laws to preserve
timber belts bordering on the arid re-
gions Of the state regardless Of home
stead laws, but no act Of the Legislature
shall interfere with the right to enter
on any non-arid land. It further pro-
vides that forest lands shall be classified
at the pleasure Of the state and maps
made showing the classification. These
maps upon approval OF the secretary Of
the interior shall be the official map Of
lands held in trust, and advertisement
made Of the boundaries of this land
and settlers given the right to protest
and appeal as In other land cases.

One of the popular and importa' t
subjects before the present congress is
the movement for the election of Un.-
ted States senators by direct vote of the
people. 1t is one subject at least of
national interest upon which party
lines will not be drawn, and from this
fact alone it's advocates derive much
encouragement of ultimate success.
The election of senators by state legis-
latures has too often proven a costly
and unsatisfactory experiment. The
citizens of Idaho have some recent his
tory ON the point that Is both edifying
and instructive. A careful study of the
contest cases Of the last ten years will
convince the most conservative that
evils are multiplying under the present
system. Corporate influence has been
too often a potent factor in the election
of senators by the state legislatures.
Corruption and bribery are frequently
charged and dead locks and party quar-
rels are items Of daily comment. The
equal rights of the states should not be
changed by the proposed amendment,
but change in the mode of election
would certainly be prudent and bene-
fetal.

The Great Northern railroan will be
completed to Spokane early next year,
and it is not at all probable that it will
go no farther. The vast agricultural
country of the Palouse and Potlatch,
with the millions of tons Of produce to
carry every year, we think will attract
the attention OF the projectors. The
carrying of this vast tonnage cannot be
secured at Spokane, hence the road
must be built into this country to 81 .
cure it. Another year at most will see
the Great Northern running through
this country and competing for its
share Of trade.-Mirror.

An Attempt to Smuggle Tell Tale Evi-
dence Out of Jail.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 30.-Mrs. Henry
Martyr Scudder, wife OF DR.. 'Scudder,
now in Jail on the charge of numbering
his mother-in-law, Mrs. Dunton, at
tempted today to take from the Jail a
coat which is valued as evidence in con-
nection with the coming trial.
She visited the prisoner today
and . told the jailor, as she
went in that her little boy would come
for her husbands soiled clothing. The
boy came and was given cumbersome
bundle. The boy passed the turnkey
and was on the point of leaving the jail
when he was halted. Mrs. Scudder ap-
peared on the scene and first threat
ened, then begged and pleaded that the
boy be allowed to pass Out, but without
avail. She held the buhdle until it was
forcibly taken from her possession. The
bundle was examined and the overcoat
in question was found. DR.. Spray, who
is attending the alleged murderer, on
behalf of the state, discovered blood
stains in the pocket of the coat some
time ago, and the prosecution propose
to build the theory that it contained the
weapon with which the murder was
committed. States Attorney Longen-
ecker admits that blood spots were
found in the pocket of the coat, and
says the garment has been put in safe
keeping and will be produced as evil
dence against the prisoner.

ANOTHER FATAL FIRE.
A HALOCAUST IN A SUBURB OF
NEW YORK CITY.
A Girl Dashed to Death by Jumping
from IA WindOw-A Number of
Children Cremated.

New YORK, May 1.-At As O'Clock
this morning fire was discovered in the
cellar OF three-story brick house at 189
Broadway, Williamsburgh. On the sec
ond floor lived John Sohalter, wife, four
daughters and son. The family became
panic-stricken, and despite warning
cries and shouts one of the daughters,
Maggie, jumped from window and was
horribly mangled. The third floor was
occupied by Thomas Tubbs. There were
ten in the family, five of whom are miss
ing. A 2-year-old baby and one of the
sons were taken to the hospital fright
fully burned, and it is thought they can
not live.
The fremen found Benjamin Tubbs,
II years old, on the third floor, badly
burned about the face and hands, and
overcome by smoke. A fireman carried
out 2-year-old baby, and others did
equally good service. Smoke drove the
freplen out finally, and it was then
found that five children of the Tubbs
family were still missing, and it could
not be learned whether the children
were still in the building. Several of
those saved were burned and sickened
by smoke, and were removed to the
Eastern District hospital.
At 2:30 the fire is not under control.
and the people living in the houses ad-
jacent to the burning building are run
ming into the streets half clad, or with
their clothing in their arms. At the last
report it was generally believed that
five OF the Tubbs children perished in
the flames.
