IN li=NUT SHELL.

The Pocatello Tribune wants to
know what all the State University
.ssquabblen is about. Well here it
is in nut shell: The regents let
out two professors at their last
meeting and some Of the anti-state
administration papers Immediately
said it was for political effect, and
proceeded to raise a howl about it.
Then the writer said something
about cutting off little gratis if any
were found, and about lettering the
institution wherever it could be
improved, etc, and then these same
sheets raised anotherhowl. That'sall
we know Of this tempest in teapot
matter.

He Found the Lion

While on his way to Lake creek,
seven or eight miles above Ketchum,
some time ago, Eugen Stowe overlook
a large mountain lion. Stowe is work
ing a mine on lease up there. and was
making the trip from HALEY on his
wheel.
He had just passed band of sheep
and on looking ahead of him in the
road, he saw the lion, which was leis-
urely making its way along. The ami
NAL moving slowly, and did not seem to
care whether anybody was around or
not.
Stowe had no gun. and did not care
for any further acquaintance with the
lion. He kept moving on, however, OBJ
serving respectable distance
1t is supposed the lion was following
up The sheep. The beast soon disap-
peared, and has not been seen since in
that vicinity HALEY News Miner.

with good sized loads. It takes
four days to make the trip from
Montpelier, travelling about 40 miles
a day.
Now that this route is opened
there is much for this city TO- ex-
pect IN the way of trade, by,s before
it can realize much its merchants
will have some WORK to do. There
are many places on the road that
at small Expense, can be put in
splendid shape compared to what
they are now. Some bridges are
to be repaired, and over towards
Jackson's Hole there are few
"dugways" that need grading up.
Even though much of the road is
in Wyoming, Montpelier can well
afford to spend little money on
the route. Then there comes the
advertising, the letting of the pleas
ure seekers know that this road is
open for travel. Not many of
them can be secured this year but
during the coming winter the In
formation can be spread, so that
next year these tourists would know
just where to come on their way to
Wonderland. 1t will be an ideal
outing in every way. There il
plenty of the finest fishing in the
world all along the road. During
the season there are to be found al
kinds of game in the country
through which the road passes
Then there is water, grass anG
magnificent camping places almost
every step Of the way. The scenery
rivals that of the Park itself, with
its high mountains, deep canyons
nlId DShuGllul bbIGdIIls. w Hal more
could be offered the tourist any
where, but it remains for us to le
the world know of all these things
The coming winter will be 81 len
did time to diffuse this information
and a fund should be raised to d.
the necessary work on the road in
early spring.
Montpelier can easily secure al
this trade by the expenditure of
few dollars. The money can b
raised easily. The only question
is, who will take the lead since W
have no chamber of commerce
board of trade, or anything akin t
it?

THAT PARK ROAD.

Last week the ExAMlNR contained
an article to the effect that the
National Park road was now open
for travel. After five years of agi-
tation we are glad TO note that the
Park can be reached via Montpelier
and Star valley. While the road is
new, it is said to be in good condi.
ton, and wagons can pass over it

Cheyenne, when the Bunker Hill
mill was blown up last April, has
been sentenced to II years in the

and the intention to try others, will

Pocatello is all agog over the
chance it has Of securing new shop
buildings. They are to be built of
stone, presumably of the same kind
of material that the round house at
Shoshone is constructed of. We
are glad to note the good luck of
the Gate city. If the Short Line
would only conclude to erect a de
pot in this city, commensurate with
it's large and constantly increasing
trade at this point, we would con.
clude that it was the only road in
existence. Both, the shops in Pc
catello and new depot here, are
badly needed, and we have no doubt
that time will bring both.

The Blackfoot News needn't
worry over the state university.
1t is growing steadily and will con
tinue to as long as Idaho is a state
and has newspapers published in its
borders. When public institutions
come to a point that it cannot
stand investigation, then it ought
to be closed up. The Idaho univer-
sity has not reached that stage yet,
and its workings are open to all.
It doesn't need censorship and, we
hope never will Whatever is
right in its management will be up
held, and anything that ismanifest-
ly wrong will be discouraged, and
the newspapers are the ones to
take the initiative.

About Marble.

The EXAMINER scribe saw an
immense slab of marble at the de-
pot the other day, consigned to Mr..
Brown in Paris. This caused us to
remember that near Paris there is
a mountain Of marble, said to be as
fine as that of any country. If
this quarry could only be opened
there would be no use of sending
away for this class of stone, but
on the contrary this county could
and would furnish Idaho, Utah,
Wyoming and other states with
their marble. This quarry ought
to attract the attention of capital,
seeking good investment.

WEALTH ABSORBS 1T.
Details of the Deal by Which the Edi
son Company is Secured.

New York, Jan. 4.-There is no longer
any concealment of the fact that what
is known as the Whitney syndicate has
obtained control of the Edison Electric
Illuminating company. George F. Pea
body, second vice president and direc-
tor of the Edison company, admitted
this today. This acquisition with the
other Whitney syndicate holdings, gives
the syndicate a practical monopoly of
the electric lighting, heating and motive
power of this city. The title of the
Whitney syndicate, which is composed
mainly of men who constitute the Met
ropolitan Traction company, is the New
York Gas and Electric Light, Heat and
Power company.
The great expense of maintaining the
vest electric plants necessary for the
operation of the electric surface lines
in this city, a large proportion of the
electric product of which was wasted,
led the traction company to acquire
control of the whole business.
The Edison Electric Illuminating
company's gross earnings in 1897 were
81, ,466, 1885, and it's net earnings 81, III, ,497.

THE GOVERNMENTS SIDE.
It is Deemed Necessary to Have Cuban
Revenues Concentrated.


Washington, Jan. 4.-The objection of
the citizens of Santiago to the execution
of the war departments programme re-
quiring the custom collections at that
port and at all other Cuban ports to be
sent to Havana has brought the war
department face to face with another of
the many problems connected with the
administration of affairs in Cuba that
require speedily settlement. The order IS
felt to be absolutely necessary, the in
terests of good government requiring
that there should be but one responsible
head to the customs service in Cuba.
1t was pointed out at the war depart
ment today that if Santiago at one end
of the island and Havana near the 9TH
er were allowed to keep their customs
receipts such provinces as Puerto Prin-
cipe and Pinar del Rio would be with
out funds to make any public improve
ments. The officials are disposed to al
low each of the military commanders
of the seven departments into which
Cuba is now divided to submit requisi-
such public works as sanitation, harbor
improvements and road and bridge
building as it is deemed desirable to un-
dertake. The cabinet which Gen. Brooke
is about to call to his assistance in the
administration of the island probably
will examine into these necessities and
propose an allotment of the total GUS
toms collected and internal revenue
taxation in proportion to the needs Of
the principles of justice and good gov
ernment. In all likelihood these allot-
ments will require the approval of the
secretary OF war.

IN THE HOUSE.
Breidenthal Doing Some Strenuous
Work for His Banking Bill.

A fusion caucus preceded the cOnVen-
ing of the house this morning. The eau
Gus was called in order to allow Bank
Commissioner Breidenthal to present
arguments in favor of his guarantee
banking bill, introduced in the house
by Russell of Miami, chairman of the
committee on banks and banking. Breid-
enthal spoke for some time before the
caucus, explaining the benefits to the
banking interests he hoped to secure
by the pasasge of the measure. Williams
of Mcpherson, who is himself a banker,
replied to the bank commissioner, op-
posing the bill. He said that it did not
secure depositors against loss as it was
supposed to on it's face, and that for
this reason it placed the dishonest
banker on the same footing with the
honest banker.
The caucus adjourned without taking
any action on the bill. 1t is on the house
calendar under the head of general or
ders. It's fate in the house is believed to
be in doubt.
At the convening of the house True
blood of Usage, chairman of the ways
and means committee, introduced a bill
appropriating $1,000 for the expenses of
the special session. Also a bill trans
ferring the funds left by dead insane
which have been collected by Treasurer
Dolan of the state board of charities

NEBRASKA LAWMAKERS
Meet and Organize With Republicans
in Control

Lincoln, Neb, Jan. 4.-The two houses
of the legislature convened in their re-
spective halls at the capitol building,
opened the twenty-sixth session. What
the senate had to do in the way of or
ganizing and preliminary business was
soon accomplished. The house was
slower and did not adjourn until some
time after the other branch had finished
the day.
In the house Paul F. Clark, (Rep.)
was chosen speaker and the full list of
employees was accepted as made out by
the caucus. In the senate A. r. Tai
bot, (Rep.,) also of Lancaster, was
made president pro tenn.
The breach in the ranks of the house
Republicans, which threatened to lose
them the speakership, was closed by
five of the rebellious members coming
into caucus.
On Thursday the new state officers
will be inaugurated.
The only development in the senator
ial struggle was the announcement of
A. r. Talbot of Lincoln, as a candidate.

SENATE HAS THE TREATY.
The President Submits Tt Without
Recommendation.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The senate met
today after the holiday recess and soon
went into executive session. The peace
treaty which had just been received
from the president, was laid before the
senate by Senator Frye who occupied
the chair in the absence of the vice
president. The treaty was not read but
the presidents message accompanying
it was. This was a simple letter of
transrnittal without any word of recon-
mendation or suggestion and was only
a few lines in length.
Ky On motion of Senator Davis the
treaty was referred to the committee on
foreign relations and ordered printed
for the use of the senate. No order was
made looking to making the treaty pub
lie, but it is understood that this will
be done after the treaty is passed upon
by the committee.
Senator Davis entered a motion to
make the treaty and the proceedings
of the commission public but upon the
suggestion of Senator Allison he with
drew that motion for the purpose of
allowing the committee to act on If.
A meeting of the committee on foreign
relations has been called for Friday
and it is probable that the committee
will bring in resolution for the publi-
cation of both the treaty and the pro-
ceedingS
