majoriiies and give the election to
Goebel. Public sentiment ran
high against such an outrage and
the county boards one after an
other, but many not till court
mandate compelled them. passed
up the returns TO the state board.
Here as Mr.. Ellis expressed it.
"All the proceedings before the
board were so overwhelmingly in
favor of the republicans, and they
had so much the best of the argu
meuts that there was only one
thing to do. This closes the
incident with a victory for the peo-
pie over the manipulations of the

. CORN FOR SHEEP.
Million Pounds Shipped from Net-
raSka TO Idaho.

A train load of coru--ao cars, ,ooo, 900
pounds--is on the way from Nebraska to
Idaho. 1t is intended to feed it to Idaho
sheep. The train load OF golden ears left
Nebraska ON the 4th of the month. Part
of it will be sidetracked at Gooding, part
at Mountainhome and the remainder
will he brought to Boise. For the first
time in the history of the sheep business
in this state it has been decided TO try
corn. Charles r. Kelsey of Mountain
home was in Boise and informed The
Statesman reporter of the shipment. Mr.
Kelsey said the corn shipment was an ex-
pertinent. II may be used and only n
portion of it may be used this year The
ranges, he said, were so much better
than they were this time last year that
they would hold ont for some time,
ohviating the necessity Of feeding. The
grass was now up three to four inches
and as long as the open weather CON
tinaed the sheep could be kept on the
ranges.
In speaking generally about the sheep
and wool business Mr.. Kelsey said the
growers had had a very fair season and
were receiving very good price for their
product He estimates the total wool
clip of the state at 900, 900 to 10, 900 900
pounds. He said he had just contracted
for 100000 pounds of wool owned by
Boise men for 10 to rs cents pound.
Only a small percentage of this wool
brought rs cents, the average price being
somewhat less than II cents.

The agricultural section of the
state university is doing some very

winter in the line Of farmers
institutes. These have been held
with good results in many of the
c, unlies in the state. 1t is regret
able that the farmers of Nez Perez
county have not been favored with
the rest. The work done at these
institutes will awaken an interest
in matters pertaining to scientific
agriculture and horticulture and
the wide awake farmer will be ready
enough to take advantage of the
univcrsity's terms work in the
same lines which is scheduled TO
begin in January. The plan OF

Work done by the university
along such lines will soon put the
farmers OF the state in direct touch
with the benefits the institution is
capable of comforting in lines

preciated.

The gold standard bill was the

in the house. This is an indica'
ton Of the spirit of the rer ublicans
The intention is to push this mea-
sure through the house with all
possible speed. Probably it will
reach the senate before the adjourn
ment fer the holidays, Not quite
so much vigor is expected in the
senate, yet there is chance that
there will be no delay in its con-
sideration in that chamber. The
republicans have a larger majority
in the Senate at the present time,
not withstanding the vacant seats,
than they have had in any previous
time in about a score of years.
The senate republican leaders are
as anxious to make quick work
with the gold standard bill as are
their brethren in the house, anc
they will use all Legitimate pressure
to push it through their branch
with speed. The entire scheme o
financial reform which the join
committee of house aud seuat,
republicans favored, and which ha
already been introduced in congress,
is likely to be on the statute book
before the national convention

The Railroad Outlook.

Some OF the mistakes and abuses
in the planning and construction of
the railroad system of the great in
land empire are in a fair way to be
corrected and revised during the
year 1900.
The truce OF last September has
been exemplified as farce by all |
who are interested in the subject.
The truce came too late to give one
road decided advantage over the
others; but it may have delayed
the construction of important sec,
tons for the time being. The con.
tending forces have held their out
ports while they waited upon the
whims of their controlling spirits.
The fight is to be renewed just
where it was left off before the next
six months have expired. The
delays have enabled the contend
ing forces 10 gather strength for
the reopening of the campaign
which will begin with the new
year.
The Northern Pacific construc-
ton forces and the material for
their use are massed Tor the Snake
river extension. The steamer Han
naford is to go into the service of
the operating department not later
than January Ist, and this means
