The large number of pros
pective graduates of the local
high schools, normal schools
and colleges whom we have
fitted with footwear for the
commencement xercises soon
to be held speaks eloquently
of the perfect completeness
of our stock. They have
found that our styles are the
same styles shown in the
leading shops of New York
city-and that they are ex-
clusively different from those
shown by other shoe stores.
The same perfect complete
ness is to be found here in
footwear for weddings. Every
desirable shade in satin, kid
and suede slippers is here,
and also the worthy qualities
in patent leather slippers.
Showing a complete as
sortment of footwear for
sporting-tennis, riding, BIZ
cycling-lias won for us a
trade unequaled by any other
store in this city. Every nov
city is here-every correct"
effect on which particular
people have set their stamp of
approval.
We have never before
shown an equal assortment Of
linen and canvas footwear.
The demand which has set in
indicates that this is to be a
greater season than ever be-
fore-that- linen and canvas
footwear will be far more
popular than ever.
If you are going abroad
we can make you some excel
lent suggestions as to the
footwear best suited for rav-
cling.

to definitely fix salaries. 1t is probable
though, that the BILL as it is, giving COM
missioners discretion, will pass. The APP
preparation bill now has the right of way
i'll the house. 1t was reported from the
committee last Friday and not materially
different from what has already been in
dictated i'll these correspondence. The
bill appropriates only $4,000 for the
state university, while the normal schools
have been literally provided for. Church
of Bannock, has bill for the removal
of the Albion normal to Pocatello, but it
doesn't stand a ghost of show, SO mem
bers of both houses say.
The horticulturists were here i'll force
last week, giving the horticultural APP
preparation the benefit of their moral
support. 1t would seem but fair, while
thousands of dollars of public money is
being expended for the benefit of fruit
growers, that something should be done
to ameliorate the condition of wheat grow
ers, sheepmen, horse breeders and hog
and poultry raisers. There is no use of
making pet of the fruit industry.

peanut politicians and psuedo financial
saviors of our beloved state to secure CON
troll of the natural resources of the peo-
pie" Hulse, of Blaine county, made
strong fight against the river bill, and
said he could have had money for voting
for the bill, but would not sell out the
people who had elected him. Jones, of
Boise county, and Kingsley, of Ada, as
did other republicans and populists, made
gallant fight to defeat the bill, but the
administration forces carried the day
Following the sound and patriotic ex-
ample of Senator Price of Cassia county,
Senator Bulge recently withdrew his
bill for state wagon road i'll Bear Lake
and Bannock counties. 1t will be re-
membered that Senator Price recently
withdrew his bill for bridge across
Snake river for the reason, as he after
wards explained, that it would relieve
him from any obligation to support
numerous extravagant appropriation
bills. Senator Bulge pursued the same
course, and in his withdrawal speech
exploded bomb in the enemy's camp.
He said: This is one of the first meas
ures introduced in the senate. When l
introduced it had no idea there would
be so many demands made upon the
state treasury as there have been, and l
want my friends who have supported
this bill to be free as | want to be myself
in acting upon other measures which
come before the senate" The Senator's
meaning could not be misunderstood and
the friends of the administration felt that
another club had slipped from their
grasp.
1t is possible that the legislature
will have completed, or rather end
ed, its labors before these facts
can be published as the time
for which members can receive
pay expires March a, but they may CON
tinue without pay indefinitely. The ir-
rigation bill has now become law, save
for the governors signature, which no
doubt will be attached to the bill. The
attempt to nullify the anti-gambling law
by providing high license, has failed.
The bill passed the senate, but was
promptly put to sleep in the house. The
salary bill is still in an uncertain condi-
ton, owing to a serious doubt of its con-
stitutionality. The question now raised
is as to the power of the county commits
sioners to determine salaries within the
limitations prescribed by law. The at
torney general says that the authorities
are evenly divided on the question. The
weight of local legal opinion seems to
favor the idea that the legislature ought

Total

Total ....... So, 054, $50. 900
There have been years showing larger
imports. but not one as large showing
exports, and not one when a combination
of imports and exports of produce and
merchandise reached $1,000, 600, 900.
Only one other year In the history of
the country have the exports exceeded
81, OOO, 0GO, 900, aud that was in 1891.
A most encouraging feature of cur
foreign export trade is the increased
proportion of manufactures in the
makeup.
Other evidences of the country's
prosperity during the past year are
found in it's domestic trade. All the
well-known tests in this department are
in harmony with the stateme Mt that
the year now closing has shown q
greater volume of trade with better
general results than in any of the pre-
ceding years of the century. One of
these barometers of trad e is that found
in the bank clearings. 1t is true that
all localities do not maintain these
agencies, nor do all the banks use them
where they exist, nor is all business re-
pres ented in their workings. Bearing
oil these facts in mind, however, the
business of the clearing houses is
n evertheless q good test of general
trade. Q An examination of these clear
tngs in nine ty-one cities of the United
States asscompared with previous years
shows large and well distributed gains.
Up tosthe last decade, the year 1892
showed the largest bank clearings, the
amount being SCI 800, O0O,O 1000. The
year 1898 broke that record for the first
time, with a clear margin of nearly
q, 600, 600, 900 to spare. The current
year will break the record breaker
with s22, 900, 900. 900 to spare, the great
est gain in any.year.
