Great Activity Among the South
Ends-U University Reg gatta.
Rowing is booming at the foot of Third
streei. With two rega.tas in view, one on
the 9th of February and the Golden Gate
Carnival race in April, the members OF
the South End Rowing Club are kept busy
in their endeavor to make the season of
1897 a successful one for aquatic sports.
During this season the South Ends will
hold monthly races both for barges and
skiffs and in this way select material to
represent the club in the regattas. The
first of these races will take place on the
third or fourth Sunday in February. At
the present time about twenty-five men,
bers nave signifed their intention of
participating.
If possible the midgets will be induced
to enter and strive to regain their lost
laurels by defeating the new senior crew.
This would be race we'll worth seeing,
and the club members should do all in
their power 10 bring the two crews to-
gether.
The intermediate class will be repre-
sented by two crews. Tom Barry will
captain No. 1, and the crew which entered
IN the Thanksgiving regatta and lost it's
heart and reputation at the stakeboat will
be looked after by Walter Duplissea.

Anglers Expect Certain Amend
ments to Fish Laws to Be Lost.
The rainstorm has come in very oppor-
tune for the anglers, as breeding fishes
will now have an opportunity of reaching
the head waters of coast streams, where
they will reproduce their species.
Last year the heavy rains arrived late,
and as a result the trout of good size,
which always make a respectable appear
ance in an anglers basket, were swept
down to salt water, leaving only the finger
lings of the tributaries of the main streams
to be caught by the anglers who can law
fully angle in April.
The present storm came with the new
moon, and in all probability there will be
heavy rains during this month. Should
fine weather result in March it can be
safely said that the fishing in April will
be good; that is, of course, provided the
proposed amendment to the present law.

Much satisfaction is evinced at the lib

portioning the same, so that each team
will receive prize in conformity with it's
standing in the tournament.
The Amer lean team of Los Angeles has
applied for entrance as representing the
United States, but 1t was reluctantly re-
fused, as the local American team is fully
organized and embraces splendid ma

sought the privilege of entering teams,

long time to decide the contest if any
more than ten teams participated.
TIE individual pulls will be new and

Jim Corbett VIII Arrive on Tuesday

Wednesday.
Jim Corbett has written friend that he
will arrive in this City on Tuesday and
that on Wednesday he expects to meet
Billy Kennedy, the champion hand dball-
player of the Olympic Club, and Jim
Nealon, the Adonis of the San Francisco
handball court, to arrange for series OF
games.
Corbett is evidently of the opinion thai
he can easily dispose of the two crack
players, but he must have made wonder
full I'M provement since he left st. Louis,
otherwise be would not attempt to tackle
such hard game.
When Corbett visited ST. Louis one of
the first places he put foot in was the local
handbalI court. The pugilistic champion
was warmly received by the hand ball
fraternity and a match game was quickly
arranged.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.

The school election last Mon
day passed off quietly although
considerable vote was brought
out. Hon. r. A. Cowden was
reelected, which, we take it, was
a wise action as Mr.. Cowden has
made an excellent trustee and
against him there can be no legi-
mate complaint. Mr.. Dan Camp
bell was the other successful can
didate for trustee, and he is rec
ognized as one of the most sub
stantial and progressive citizens of
the town. Messrs. Isham and
Harmon, the contending but de-
feated candidates, would unques-
tionably have made good officers
IF elected, but majority of the
people elected otherwise, so it is
needless to speculate in respect to
these gentlemen. 1t seems that
the real issue in the contest was
Professor Broxon. principal of the
public school. There is degree
of dissatisfaction with his methods,
and, as we understand it, the
Isham- Harmon ticket represented
the dissatisfied element. 1t is
likely, however, that neither DR..
Isham nor Mr.. Harmon partici-
pated personally in the sentiment
of their constituents. The grounds
upon which opposition to Prof.
Broxon is based are, it seems,
largely of personal nature. In

TO BANCROFT AND CALVIN.

1t was current on the streets OF
Caldwell, on the day of the speci-
al election to authorize the
county Commissioners TO issue
new warrants to the Gillette
Herzog Co. that high officials of
the Oregon Short Line had issued
orders to their employees in this
county to vote in the affirmative
on the proposition. 1t was said
that Agent Alley of this place
and Mr.. Connors of Nampa were
among those receiving such or
ders. The TRIBUNE has made
no inquiry Of these gentlemen,
because we believe the accuse
ton is absolutely false and libel
lous. We do not believe il is the
policy Of the Oregon Short Line
officials to interfere with their
employees in the exercise of their
rights as American citizens. Our
estimation of Mr.. Bancroft and
Mr.. Calvin will not permit us to
entertain a suspicion that they
would be guilty of an act so
damnably un-American and tyr
annical. 1t is reported that a
letter was exhibited on election
day defining the attitude of the
railroad officials. We, therefore,
suggest to Mr.. Bancroft that an
investigation is in order. Such
charges should be refuted if they
can be and the parties making
them publicly exposed and con-
demned. There is growing up in
this State a cordial feeling towards
the Oregoa Short Line, but that
feeling will soon turn to bitter an
tagonism if it is seriously believed
that a system of political coercion
has been inaugurated and put in
to vigorous operation. Respect
fully submitted for the serious con-
sideration of Mr.. w. H. Bancroft
and E. E, Calvin, general manager
and superintendent, respectively,
of the Oregon Short Line,

SOME MORE REASONS.

The accusation now generally
made and practically conceded
that the Republicans united to
defeat the attempted valuation of
the bridge warrants, it is proper
that the causes which impelled
them should be set forth with
clearness and fullness. To this
end it is considered BETTING to
present some extracts from a re-
cent decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of Dunbar

and the way to know them is to
cultivate them in a friendly and
candid way. Then let teachers
stand on their merits as teachers
and whenever they fail, as teach
ers, TO produce satisfactory re-
suits, dispense with thom at once
and forever. In these days teach
ing is becoming a profession, and
teachers must stand on their
professional ability the same as
lawyers or doctors. A wise
people viii employ none but those
who, by education and experience,
are qualified to give high grade
of professional service. We
should no more think of putting
amateurs in our school rooms
than trusting delicate surgical
operation to an apothecary's APP
prentice. Demand good work,
but register no frivolous kicks.

ASYLUM SCANDAL.

Elswhere in this paper will be
found clear and powerful edi-
torial from the Pocatello Tribune
relating to the State Insane
Asylum. 1t should arrest the
attention of every citizen of
Idaho. The TRIBUNE is unin-
formed as to the official char
ges against DR.. Moore, former
medical director of the institution,
but heard insinuations from enc
of the most prominent Democrats
in the State which tended to
Placken the integrity and moral
character of DR.. Moore. One
accusation, spoken flippantly, was
to the effect that the Doctor had
been on junketing tours, and had
appropriated, for his private uses
and pleasure, supplies of the
Asylum, which he shared liber-
ally with his boon companions.
Another was that his relations
with some of the female atten-
dants had been of such a tender
nature as to indicate that the
Doctor was an amoroso of I'M
common ardency and promisCuity.
These insinuations were made in
the presence of a male attendant
of the asylum who had in charge
a patient from Moscow and one
from Caldwell, taking them to the
institution about the 18th of July
last. The TRIBUNE has no knowl-
edge whatever of the facts in the
case and merely gives this state
ment as a possible index to the
official causes for DR.. Moore's re-
moval. 1t seems to us that the
Doctor should demand a thorough
and public investigation. AS to
the charges of dishonesty against
DR.. Givens, who displaced DR..
Moore, and the political matters
recited by the Pocatello Tribune
we have no information, but that
paper is eminently right in de-
handing an investigation, search
ing and complete. DIR. Moore's
character has been assailed in a
manner to ruin him socially and
professionally, and if it was done,
simply to find place for a dishon-
est politician, it is ripe time for
the people of Idaho to take a
hand in the business. Governor
Steunenberg will do well to move
and move promptly!

\ We now suggest 70 III county sOu1thla-
sioners that they should not incur any
debt BY building bridges in excess Of
the public revenue of their county
without submitting the question of
building such bridges to the voters of
their county. The trainers of the con-
stitution intended that the several
counties of the state should be placed
mon cash basis, and that the incur
ring of heavy debts by the counties
should not occur unless the people of
the county should so authorize.
The language of the Supreme
Court is clear, emphatic and to
the point. The commissioners
who contracted for the Caldwell
and Parma bridges did SO in
direct violation of the constitution,
and the Commissioners who
ordered the late special election
attempted to do indirectly what
the constitution forbid them from
doing directly; that is to say, they
tried to cheat the law and the
constitution. Instead ofrespecting
their official oath to uphold and
defend the constitution, they
turned irreverently from shat
sacred obligation and sought to
trample upon the organic law of
of the State. We are not pre-
pared to believe that either Board
of Commissioners had a clear
comprehension of the lawless and
vicious character of their acts.
They probably did not know
that they were violating
the fundamental law. But the
commissioners who contracted for
the bridges ought to have read
their state constitution. Its read
ing would, at least, have suggested
such a doubt to their minds as to
impelI them to seek sound legal
advice if themselves incapable of
understanding, legal propositions
involved. The present Board
ought also have sought coun-
sci and abided by it. They
should have known that the
people of Canyon County could
not repair a breech of the consti-
tuition by their vote. The power
does not reside anywhere except
in the whole people of the COM
monwealth anywhere to legalize
a deed done in transgression of
the fundamental law. Forty
County elections, each and all
unanimous, would not have
clothed with legitimacy obligations
which could not be contracted
without outraging the law and the
constitution. Can life and henor
be injected into the carcass of
fraud? Can the people of one
county vote power to a board of
commissioners to debauch the
State Constitution? That was
what those who vote to authorize
the Commissioners to validate the
original contract with Messrs
Gillette-Herzog & Co, tried to do.
The election had it supported the
commissioners in their unheard Of
demand, would not have amounted
a hill of beans, except as it might
reflect lack of understanding
on the part of the people. The
original contract with Gillette
Herzog co. isv old; it is dead as the
the dummies of Ptolemies. The
people of Canyon County, though
they voted themselves black in the.
face, could not revitalize the
corpse. The special election as
