THE west wing of the State Uni
versity at Moscow has been COM
pleted at a cost of $4,000. 1t will
cost about $4,000 to complete the
rest of the building. The present
course of study includes those re-
quired by the agricultural college
act, thus securing for the institution
the federal appropriation now $4,000
year and increasing $1,000 each
year. Ex-Gov. Wiley does not favor
the establishment of separate agri-
cultural college at present, but the
building up of strong university.

A BOSE dispatch 10 the Salt Lake
Herald says that the Legislators Of
the present session Of the Idaho Leg
are bound TO utterly ignore
Ex-Governor Willey's message, as
50 far it has not been read in either
branch Of the Legislature. A call
was finally made for reading Of the
document and motion to that effect
carried, but the message had been
carelessly thrown aside and the Chief
Clerk could not find it, so the matter
was deferred. circumstances make
it appear that the message vas inten-
tionally ignored. We thought y
first our Boise correspondent, Tax
Payer" was little too severe on the
Speaker, and that the latter's failure
TO have the message read II the
proper time was merely an uninten-
tional oversight. Now, taking every
thing together, it does look As if III.
ignoring Of Gov. Wiiley's message
was intentional. Why this should b.
done is incomprehensible. The mes
sage is said, by those who have seen i
to be an uncommonly good documen,
giving comprehensive statement .
the business transacted in the severa
departments of State, and makes
many good recommendations, valua
BILE on account OF the experiences o
the Governor, as the Chief Executive
OF the State, with the subjects treatet
of, and familiarity with details pre-
sented. The message would prove
valuable guide and help in Legisla
tive work. Mr.. Wiley has made
good, conscientious Governor, VIII
has acted on the principle of tn
greatest good to the greatest mum
Der, and why he should be thus ig
nored is a mystery.

A NOVEL bill was allowed by the
County Commissioners this week
novel partly because OF a new depar-
ture in this county. The Elmira
company charged IS for the use of a
house as the polling place in Banner
last fall. Elections have been held
in all sorts Of business and other pla'
ces, but this is the first time in the
history OF the county that hill has
been presented for such use. There
is nothing wrong about either the
presentation or allowing of this bill
but it illustrates the TACT that the close
figuring of Eastern methods of doing
business is gradually taking the place
of the loose and liberal methods o
the West.

Ex-GovERNoR WILEY, in h

E1-GovERNoR WILEY, in his
message, made a good recommends
tion in regard to the division of coun-
'tv school money. He said:
The present division of the county
school fund among districts appears to
work grave hardship in some cases. |
would recommend that the division of
per capita funds, wherever 1t may be, he
based upon the school attendance of pu-
pills of school age rather than upon The
at cidental residence of such children who
may or may not attend school at all. The
rate of taxation levied and collected in

Our Legislators should realize the
fact that no State like Idaho was
ever made great without the con-
struction of good wagon roads. Ida
no is mineral State, her production
in the alI-important mining industry
being the basis for all other indus
tries. As mining is the foundation
of our prosperity, it is necessary that
this foundation should be enlarged.
The only way to enlarge it to any
great extent is to open up the great
est portion of the State-the central
portion fabulously rich in precious
metals and lead and copper-but that
portion is inaccessible except with
pack animals, and consequently pro-
duction is as nothing compared with
what it would be if wagon road were
constructed through it. There is
now a till before the Legislature for
State road to open up this and 9TH
cr magnificent mining sections of the
State, and it ought to pass. In few
years such road would be the means
of creating wealth sufficient to pay
in taxes, the entire cost of cons,ruc
ton. The defeat of this bill woult
be nothing short of an exhibition o
the blindness of false ECONOMY.

AN IMMENSE DEAL
The Oregon Pacific Will
Change Hands.
FIFTEEN MILLIONS IN 1T.
A Valuable Plant Probably to Be
Enlarged When the Company's
Affairs Are Settled.

Before the 18th of next December
great change may come over the Oregon
Pacific Railroad Company. and the out
come of this coming event is watched
with in terest. By order of the courts of
Oregon the corporation will pass out Of
the bands of a receiver and be placed upon
the market.
The Orego Pacific is a valuable piece
Of property, however. and already several
large Eastern capitalists, including those
who are at present interested in the line,
are contemplating securing control Of the
company's stock.
The Oregon Pacific plant Is valued at
S15,00O0O0. About S850.000 Indebtedness
has 10 be taken into consideration. Never
theless the profits derived from the invest
ment have been equal to good income on
the capital, and the corporation Is con-
sidered In very healthy financial condi-
ton.
There has been considerable wrangiing
among the stockholders of the concern,
but the acquisition of the company's plant
by a half dozen wealthy Eastern capital
lists will inaugurate an era of active COM
petition In the north. Already the Oregon
Pacific lines cover 128 miles of territory
and il the road is sold to any of the pres
ent shareholders great improvements will
be made.
The company's plant will be enlarged
and two or three more vessels chartered.
Besides the system of railroads in Oregon
the Oregon Pacific has a river boat service,
with headquarters at Corvallis. The
steamers Three Sisters, William Hoag and
Bentley belong 10 the company. The
steamship Willamette Valley and tug
Resolute are also part Of the corporations
property.
1t is not thought that any changes Will
be made in the management of the Oregon
Pacifc's affairs. Much credit is due Su-
perintendent Mulcahey and Managing
Agent ID. r. Vaughn for the manner in
which they have handled the corporations
business, and these gentlemen will prob
ably remain at their old posts of duty.

A QUIET WEDDING
1t Surprises the Sausalito
Society People.
Louis j. Harrison Steals a March on
His Friends by Saying Nothing
About the Event.

Sausalito society circles were somewhat
excited yesterday by the announcement of
the marriage of two people who have been
very prominent in the social life of that
exclusive suburb, and no-small amount Of
surprise was expressed by friends of the
contracting parties on this side OF the
bay.
Louis J. Harrison, the wholesale liquor
merchant Of 214 California street, was
quietly married to Mrs. Laura p. Mason,
widow of the late Captain Stanton Mason,
U. S. A.
The marriage was s0lemniZed at the
residence of Mr.. Harrson's brother, j. w.
Harrison, in Sausalto, by the Rev. Father
Valentini, at 6 o'clock yesterday MORN
ing. and after the wedding breakfast,
which Immediately followed the ceremony,
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison took the o'clock
boat for the city. on their way to Napa
Springs, where they will spend the honey
moon.
The bride was dressed in gray travel
ing costume, with hat and gloves To match.
There were no guests besides the lmmedi-
ate members of the families, but few
friends who had managed to learn of the
event testified to the esteem in which the
principals are hello by sending some choice
gifts across the bay yesterday.
There was no attempt at anything elab-
crate IN connection with the affair, al
though the parlors and breakfast-room in
Mr.. Harrison's home were transformed
into perfect bower of flowers, cut from
the best gardens in Sausalito.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison expect to be at
Napa about two weeks, after which they
will be at home in Sausalito, where they
intend to make their futme home.

A SPECIAL SALE.
Made Necessary by Demands on the
Kennedy Estate.


The executrix of the estate of the late
c. P Kennedy has ordered a special sale
of dry goods at the Market-street store Of
C. P. Kennedy & Co. for the purpose of
securing funds to meet immediate de-
mands on the estate. Since the death of
the late proprietor the dry-goods establish
ment has been conducted under the man
agement of his widow, who is also execu-
trix Of the estate. The house is one of the
old-establs he'd institutions OF the city.
The estate is being rapidly settled up, and
it is for the purpose of meeting immediate
demands in this direction that the special
sale has been ordered. The court records
show that during the last six months the
dry-goods home has done magnificent bus
mess, the receipts exceeding by very con-
siderable amount those for the same Pc
riod last year.
1t is announced that all prices will be
marked down to figure which will COM
pei the atten tiOn of purchasers, as cer-
tain amount of money must be realized
within given time, and the executrix mas
hit upon this plan of securing the neces-
sary funds.
One circumstance in connection with the
conduct of the business OF this house is
worthy OF special mention. Since the ad-
vent of the present dulness in commercial
circles no reduction has been made in the
salaries Of the employees. All oil the old
employees have been retained, and In some
Instances their salaries have been raised.

OLD ST. MARY'S.
1t Will Be Sold When Proper Offer
Is Made

Under the altar of ST. Mary's Church,
on the corner of California and Dupont
streets, is the casket containing the re-
mains of Mrs. c. Sullivan, and there it has
reposed for nearly thirty years.
it is only three years ago that the house
of worship was changed from a cathedral
to an ordinary parish church. Archbishop
Rtordan and his assistants then moved to
the new cathedral on Van Ness avenue.
The change for the new parish on Cali
fornia street was very abrupt. The bound
aries allotted were East street to Bush
and Stock ton. and on California street on
the north to Jones. besides the district
occupied by the Chinese. There are only
800 parishoners all told in it.
The fact that there were so few of the
faithful in the parish started a rumor
among the more prominent church people
that the only reason why ST. Mary's
Church was maintained a parish was
because Mrs. Sullivan's remains lay un-
der the altar. They said that the church
and the pastors residence adjacent could
never he sold because Mrs. Sullivan had
donated the land on which they were built
and the money for the erection of them,
provided that her remains should always
rest beneath the altar and that the church
should always stand.
Hearing this rumOr reporter inquired
into lis accuracy. Father OConnor of st.
Mary's Church denied that Mrs. Sulivan's
remains intsriered with the sale of the
property, saying.
"rhe only drawback to its sale is the
fact that sufficient sum is not offered for
il. 1t is not up for sale, yet if good offer
were made there is no doubt bnt that it
would be accepted. About $4,000 is the
approximation of its worth. and the taxes
are nearly $500 a year.
So it may be before long that the old
cathedral. the chief house of worship of
California in the past, will be swept out
of sight like old ST. Ignatius building on
Market street.
