IMPROVEMENT AT COUNCIL.
The Town Growing, Valley Looking
Prosperous and All Happy.

Corrcil valley is fortunately To-
Gated to receive n proper benefit from

aims, her commerce, being II central
and handy point, correspondingly
increases.

the Merritts visited the Seven Devils.
Since that time there have been
some changes in the town

AUDITOR ANDERSON.
The Caldwell Tribune Thinks the State
Auditor Would be a Tough Man
in q Fight.

Ill right.
Rees Davis, OF the Caldwell Trib-
unc, recently made the acquaintance
Of Harvey Anderson, Of Washington
county, and thus gives his i'm
pressions:

Sumes an almost fierce expression of
wildness when the soul of Anderson
is wrought up If his expression does
not belle him, he would be nasty
customer to deal with when his tenn
per is up and appearances indicate
that it is generally at the point of as
cension. Mr. Anderson has pious
cause for cherishing n store of surg
ing Indignation. He says that the
late uncircumcised legislature wound
ed the office OF State Auditor in vi
tai spot, and did the foul deed he.
cause Mr.. Anderson had the integ
rity and courage to intimate to the
legislators that when they undertook
to collect mileage from the state of
Idaho for time spent cavourting
around amidst the daug of Zion,
they were engaged in larceny. Where
upon the legislature proceeded to
emmasculate the appropriation to run
the auditors office and succeeded SO
effectually that the Office is liable to
be shut down before Mr.. Anderson's s
legal term expires. But he says he
doesn't care u tinker's cuss. If the
state can get along without auditing,
lie can exist without being auultOl
and when the appropriation runs ont,
, he will shut the front door and return
Z to tile pastoral quietude of Washing

The State Startled by the Supreme
Court Decision on the Fee Bill.
AN EXTRA SESSION POSSIBLE.
The Decision VIII Undoubtedly Apply to
Many Other Laws and the Legislature
May be Called Together.

Nothing in state circles for long
time has created such general con
sternation and excitement as the de-
cision of OF the supreme court de-
carmg the fee bill invalid, as under
the decision a large number, prob.
ably the greater part, of our laws at
once go out OF existence.
The Syllabus says:
"Frst-The provision of the constitu-
lion requiring three several readings, the
printing of bill and an aye and nay vote

Among other things the opinion
