brass and tingling cymbal Boise wei
coined the Utah Legislature this morn
ing. The populace was out en- mGsse
at the station when the 9:45, the spec
ial train. drew in. It had been thought
that the run would be made more
quickly. but the heavy coaches proved
too great a load for high speed. SEN
atOrs Macbeth and Donnelly, who
headed the legislative committee on
entertainment met the junketers at
Nampa, twenty miles down the road.
They went through the train and were
introduced to everybody back to the
governors car.
AS the train reached the depot the
Boise band struck up the liveliest kind
OF a quiek-step, and the High School
cadets, in natty uniforms. lined up
for a salute.
BEADED by the band the Utahns
marched up to the Hotel Idanha where
an elaborate breakfast was in waiting.
When it was over, IdahOs sOldier-gOv-
ernor, Frank W. Hunt, came in TO pay
his respects to the Utah executive.
There were remarks about the undue
space of time that lapsed between pO-
tatioHs and within few moments the
governors. though Of different politics.
had established the most cordial rela-
tions.
An informal reception was held in
the lobby for half an hour to give the
visitors a chance to meet the Idaho Of
fcials and lawmakers.
Joint Session is Held.
At the conclusion of the reception
it was announced that the hour for the
joint session had arrived. The band
outside cut into a march and the
parade was Immediately formed.
Everybody walked in the most dem
Ocratic style. Governor Wells marched
with Senator Macbeth. Governor Hunt
trailed in without regard to Official
etiquette A man on the sidewalk
could not forbear reTnarking that it
looked like a minstrel parade to him,
and if the marChers had only worn silk
hats, linen busters and canes, the SIM
ilitude would certainly have been
striking.
The Columbia theatre, where the
joint session was held, is a handsome
" constructed play house. For to-
days occasion II had been decorated
with flags and bunting and it presented
more than ordinarily attraCtice aD-
peaTance.
Senator Macbeth called the big crowd
to order at 1850 and introduced Lieu
tenant Governor Terriu as temporary
presiding officer. The Lieutenant gov
ernCr ordered the roll Of the Idaho sen
ate called first, and nearly every mem
Der responded to his name. Then Sec
rstary Warrum called the roll of the
1jIah senate and announced the pres
ence of u quorum. The Can of the
house also showed a big majority pres
ent, and then the joint assembly Of the
double barreled variety settled down
TO business.
Prayer by Chaplain B. S. Young was
the first order.
Meeting a Love Feast.
The meeting early developed into a
real love feast; everybody had some
thing to say about everybody else. The
Joint interests of Utah and Idaho were
pointed out in eloquent words by speak
ers from both legislatures, and il was
agreed that in future all hands would
work together from the common ad-
Vancement-
Governor Hunt opened the speech
making. After expressing how happy
he was to welcome the Utah legislature
and its friends into Idaho, he said ne
hoped the business to be transacted
would BE- in the interest Of both states
and that enough offices would be ere
ated TO give everybody a chance at the
pie counter.
