The National Democrats Favor Dubois Re-
Election.
The Boise States nan of Dec END,
says: Lawrence Gardner, secretary of
the democratic congressional committee,
left yesterday. During his stay here he
was called upon by large number of
politicians. Stories as to what he did
or said are conflicting. The desire of
the politicians naturally was to learn
whether he would favor Senator Dubois
OF strive to bring about harmony in the
ranks of the opposition and thus insure
the senator's defeat Whatever he did
it is apparrant that he performed his
mission most automatically. Certainly
he has not proclaimed the purpose of
his visit to any considerable number of
people, and the assertions made on the
streets by the adherants of one or the
other faction seem to be based entirely
upon the views and wishes of the indi.
viduals making them. One side insists
that Mr.. Gardner condemned the course
pursued last fall by Secretary Walsh,
and the other insists as vigorously that
he did nothing of the kind The story
is circulated that Mr.. Gardner came
here to carry out an alleged agreement
made in Washington under which the
congressional committee undertook to
induce the Idaho democrats to stand by
the fusion arrangement. This agree
ment, it is said, was forced from the
democrats as the price of pOpulist CO.
operation in the senate. On the other
hand, it is pointed out that the demo-
Gratis also need the silver republicans
| in their coalition, and that the latter
demand the reelection of Senator Du-
| boiS. Time, perhaps, will develop just
what the message was that Mr.. Gardner
| brought to National Committeeman
Ainslie. That message, which was in
the form of letter, no doubt contained
the key to the entire problem"
Mr.. Gardner stopped over at Poca
tellO, spending Tuesday here in con-
ference with the leading democrats OF
PocatelIo. There was no mystery about
his visit here. lie stated without reser-
walton that it was the ardent desire OF
the democratic leaders in congress to
keep up the silver fight, and that in that
fight they recognized the Importance Of
Senator Fred I. Dubois; his return to
the senate was vital to the cause of
silver, and he came to Idaho authorized
to say for the democratic leaders in
congress that they would prefer the re-
turn of Dubois to the L. 5. senate even
to the election of democrat POcatello

TMk Pass has differed with and eri,i-
eised many acts OF the majority OF the
members OF the board OF county com
missioners. We have done so honestly
and sincerely believing that they were
open to criticism. While claiming the
right TO criticise their acts as well as
those of any other public official, We are
perfectly willing to give them credit for
the work they have accomplished that
is worthy of the same. Therefore, they
are deserving of much credit, generally
speaking, for the economical manage
ment OF county affairs. During the two
years Of their administration they have
issued $4,000 less in warrants than any
board for the past six years. OF course,
4 part OF the reduction is due to the gem
eral falling off in all kinds of bushes !;
but on the whole the board has made Il
very favorable showing.

THE fact that the Republican National
committee is planning to defeat Dubois
should secure for him the support OF the
Democratic members OF the legislature
The Democratic senators and all other
leaders of the party are anxious for Du-
bois' reelection on account OF his posi-
tiOn on the silver question. They look
upon him as a leader in the cause, and
the goldbugs fear his influence to such
an extent that they prefer the election
OF a PopuliSt to succeed him, believing
that with Dubois ont Of the senate the
silver question will cut but little figure
in national politics. We publish in an
other column an article from the Wash
ington Star which shows the Importance,
nationally, Of the senatorial fight in this
state and the efforts that are being made
to turn Dubois down. Will the repre-
sentatives Of the people assist Mark
Hanna in this scheme? We believe they
will not, and when the legislator, meets,
enough honest, loyal Democrats will
cast their Vot:s for Dubois to elect him.

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
Republican National Committee Fighting
Dubois.

Dubois.
During the recess Of congress consid-
cradle work is expected to be done to-
ward settling some of the pending sena-
tOrial contests. The republican nation
al committee have taken the matter up,
with the determination to let nothing
go undone that gives the least promise
Of securing the election Of a republican
senator or one who will at least act with
the republicans on the tariff. 1t is in
timated that favorable progress has
been made toward bringing about sat
isfactOry situation in North Carolina
and South Dakota, and it is probable
that the man elected in Washington
will act with the republicans on the
tariff. just as Pritchard, of North Caro-
lima, would il reelected
The visit Of Senators ShOup and
Thurston to Mr Hanna at Cleveland
which this mornings dispatches attrib-
utes to purpose to secure u cabinet
position, is understood here to relate to
the Idaho senatorial situation. The
question Of the defeat or reelection Of
Senator Dubois has come to be a strug-
gle between the two national commit
teemen. The republican national com.
mlttee managers have determined that
Dubois shall not be returned. They I'M
derstand that the democratic national
committee are interesting themselves
to secure Dubois return, and this con.
ference Of Senators ShOup and Thurs
ton with Mr.. Hanna is understood
to be with relation to plans for even
more effective work than has yet been
done to insure Dubois defeat.
Just what the democratic committee
have done in this matter is not certain.
but 1t is known that they are intensely
interested in Dubois behalf. The re-
publicans are confident enough of their
own strength to be very little concerned
about what the democrats may do.
They would like, however, to go a little
further than they at frst had any hope
that they could, and In addition to de-
feating Dubois, secure the election Of a
man In his place who will be pledged 10

Postum is made of certain parts OF cereals

peculiar gray substance that should fill

APAcHES IN VEhDE WILEY
Indians Settle Upon Vacant Lands With
Ihe Supposed Intention of
Rem1Lnnn.

PRESCOTT, ARrz., July Fifty or
more Apache Indians, all claiming to be
under pass from the agent of the White
Mountain reservation, have settled upon
vacant land along the Verde River, thirty
miles from here. They have established
them selves in dozen camps and are max
ing preparations that indicate an intention
to make the valley their perm anent abid-
ing place. Several small irrigating ditchos
have been dug by them from the Verde,
and the Indians have commenced to ap-
propriate water, which in this low stage OF
the stream is needed by the white settlers
below. While the Indians have com m it.
ted no overt acts their presence is con-
sidered menace, and the farmers are
compelled to guard their homes in fear of
depredations. Trouble over the water
supply is expected soon, and the whites
are preparing to effectually protect their
acquired interests.
These redskins are Yavapai Apaches,
one of the most bloodthirsty of the tribes
of the Apache nation. They claim TO
have lived upon the Verde before, prior TO
1878, when General Crook consolidated all
the Apache tribes at the point of the bay
onet and placed them under surveillance
on the Gila River, about San Carlos.
Steps will be taken to bring the Indian
agent at San Carlos into possession of the
facts that he may be induced to revoke
the passes that undou btedly are held by
few of the Indians and cause the return of
the whole band to the reservation.

Restraining Dams Built
at the Outlet of
Clear Lake.
A Monster Venture Which Is
Now Nearing a Success
full Fruition.
Includes the Early Construction Of
an Electric Railway From
Vallejo.

LAKEPORT, CAL, July 4.-The Clear
Lake Electric Power Company has force
of men at work on the restraining dams
at the outlet of Clear Lake. 1t will have
three plants, each independent of the
other, and the three capable of generating
q, 900 horsepower. The water will be run
through steel pipes feet in diameter, and
the fall will be 100 feet for each plant.
Each system commences where the other
leaves off, and so the possibilities are
simply immense, for Clear Lake is 1850
feet above sea level and the fall from the
outlet to the Napa County line is over
1000 feet. Each 100 feet of fall generates
1000 horsepower, so the Lake County end
alone could be made to supply 1000. 900
horsepower.
As for the source of supply, 1T is mex
haustible. Clear Lake catches the water
fall OF all of Lake County, and is thirty
miles long and ten broad. 1t is fed by
perennial springs and mountai streams
that never run dry. The outlet-Cache
Greeks a narrow, rocky gorge, with
walls on either side 500 feet high, SO re-
straining dams are not hard to build.
The immensity of the project can be
imagined when it stated that power suf-
ficient to run all of the factories in the
bay cities and Sacramento, San Ia Rosa,
Napa, Vallejo and BenIcia com bined, can
be operated, and there would still be 10.
to spare.
An electric road will be built from
Vallejo to Clear Lake, the power for which
will De supplied by this company. 1t is
estimated that it will require only 1900
horsepower. This road is guaranteed
large trade to commence with, as Lake
County has no railroad of any descrip-
tion, and all traffic, both passenger and
freight, has to go TO Calistoga, Hopland or
Uklah. The annual visitors 10 the numer-
Gus springs and resorts are estimated to
number 10, 600.
The Westinghouse Electric Company
have guaranteed to supply the necessary
capital, ST. 000, 900, as soon as certain con-
ditions have been complied with. These
have just been successfully consum-
mated.
The great trouble has been the jealousy
of certain owners of riparian rights and
the fear of a great many OF our citizens
that the level of the lake would be low
cred and that the natural boundaries
would be spoiled.
The first proposition has been overcome
by a majority of the riparian right owners
joining the com pany and taking stock for
their pay, the second bugaboo has been
exploded and now nothing stands in the
way.
Tne company is composed OF Lake and
Napa County capitalists, and they have
issued 200, 600 shares of STOCK at $40 EACH
The success of the enterprise is due
mostly to the untiring zeal and energy of
G. P. Clendenin of Lakeport, who is the
secretary of the corporation. He has
talked and worked for it early and late,
and now his labors are crowned with sue
