TO the individual, yet I do not be-
lieve that this fact is as generally
known and appreciated as it should
be throughout the eastern part of
the country; for with all its advan-
tages the state to-day possesses
a population of little more than one
person to each of it's 143, 600 square
miles OF area. Notwithstanding
this very small population the state
is as large tonnage producer as
other states of the union possess
ing ten times its population.
Some idea of its magnitude in
mineral resources may be had
when we realize that its handful
of people have taken from it's mines
of gold, silver, copper and lead a
product of a value of $553, 620, 925
from 1862, when gold was first dis
covered, to the present time.
The state has the largest and
most productive copper mines in
the world, whose output was of a
value of SIT, 233,719 for the year
1894, with total production of a
value of s144, ZIG, 800 in the last
twelve years, since the state be-
came copper producer.
There has been produced in the
last eighteen years, since it has
been silver producer, 1907, 998, :
425, with product of SIG, SIS, 458
for 1894; and $193, 941, ,4Ss of gold
in the last 4hirtytwo years, since
it has been gold producing state,
with production of the yellow
metal worth SO, 6O1, 41O for 1894.
The astonishing magnitude of
its mineral productions as compar-
ed with it's small population can be
understood, but overwhelming as
are these figures there is every
reason TO believe that on a most
conservative estimate it's mineral
resources are but in the early
youth of their possibilities.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Another day
was consumed by the house in oratory
upon the pension appropriation bill, in
the course of which the policy of the
present administration towards the veter-
ans was scored by both Republicans
and Democrats, and defended by two or
three Democrats The most notable ILL
cident of the debate was the attack made
by MIR. Grow of Pennsylvania, upon
what he termed the extraordinary at
tempt by the president and his clel ks to
encroach upon the prerogat1ves OF tie
legislative branch of the government. he
denounced Secretary Carlisle for sending
a financial bill to congress and the action
of the president in having sent the fam
Gus letter to MIR. CatchingS on the Wilson
bill just before a vote on the bill, which
he said was an attempt to influence ac-
ton on the bill. Congress should resent
such encroachmentS on Its prerogat iVeS,
Mr.. Grow declared.
Discussion upon the pension appro-
priation bill was resumed shortly after
the opening,
Mr.. Walsh (Dem) of Georgia, did not
think that provision of the law pro-
per one which compels a widow to
show that she depends upon her daily
labor for support before she can Sc
cure a pension.
Mr. Mccall (Rep) of Tennessee, be-
1ieYed the pension laws were good, but
were not enforced in the proper spirit.
Mr.. Hanley (Rep.) of Indiana, spoke
in favor of an amendment providing
for the restoration to the rolls of PEN
sioners dropped therefrom.
Mr.. Hardy thought the debt to the
soldier had never been paid and ia
vored more liberal pensions
Mr.. Lacey (Rep.) of Iowa, predicted
that 100000 cases of pensioners drop
ped or suspended from the rolls by the
present commissioner would be review
ed and many Of them restored and
asked that nothing be done to prevent
a review by one commissioner of his
predecessors work.
Mr.. Mines (Rep.) of Michigan, want
ed every soldier who served ninety
days to have a pension.
Mr.. Crowther (Rep.) of Missouri, adj
vocated the hearing Of pension cases
in state rather than federal courts.
Mr.. Low (Rep) of New York and
Mr.. Spalding (Rep.) of Michigan, spoke
in favor of the bill and both believed a
/ pension should be a vested right.
Mr.. Picker (Rep.) of South Dakota,
chairman of the committee on invalid
pensions, stated that the present bill
did not, in the estimation of the com
mittee, go far enough. The committee
| Woulu draw up the present Dill Dear
| ing on the administration of pension
laws and to facilitate the taking of

| Mr. Grow (Rep) of Pennsylvania, cp-
posed the idea of communications be-
ing sent to the house by the president
and cabinet officers for the purpose OF
creating legislation and referred to
| the letter sent by the president to Mr.

POCATELLO. Ida. Jan. 15.-Jim Bal
lard, the Bannock chief, accompanied
by several of his band. went to the
Fort Hall agent at Ross Fork Saturday
last and made an attempt to remove
the present agent there. B. Teter, by
force. Teter Immediately called out
his Indian police and succeeded in driv-
ing off Ballard and his followers. 1t
appears that the Bannocks desire one
A. w. Fisher to succeed the present
agent Teter. It was Fishers wife who
was elected to the position of Bee All,
or mother of the Indians, by them last
fall The woman exercises consider
able influence over the Indians and
this is what precipitated the present
trouble. Fisher is under arrest. The
United States marshal left here tonight
with warrants for the arrest of Bal
lard and the Indians who took part in
the assault Saturday. They will be
taken to BIackfoot for trial. There is
much dissatisfaction among the Fort
Hall Indians and upon the opening up
of spring and the hunting season it is
said more trouble may be expected.
