The New Apportionment.

The Legislative reapportnonment
of the state was determined last eve
ing by the JOINT Republican caucus
held IN the house chamber at the
state capitol. AS result the fol-
lowing counties each gain one repre-
sentative: Ada, Bannock, Bingham,
Canyon, Fremont, Nez Perez and
Oneida, while Boise, Lemhi and
Owyhee each lose representatl We,
thus INCREASING the membership of
the house by four.
The number of votes necessary
for each representative was fixed at
1850. on the major portion thereof,
the vote for governor at the last
election being used as basis.
The members from the counties
that suffer by the reapportionment
accepted the decision with good
grace and the caucus was harmo-

SOME
TROUBLE

The Great Northern yard crew re.
fused to work Monday night and as a
result the work in the yard is tempo
rarily suspended. It appears that the
trouble originated a few days ago
when the crew made a report that the
yard engineer was not a competent
mar for the position. The men wer .
asked if they would work with an other
foreman, and they said they would
work with a new foreman, but would
not with the engineer. Monday night
the crew was called but refused to
work with the engineer and left the
yard. Three train crews were called
but they refused to work also. The
men have no grievances against the
company, but contend that they are
exposed to extra and unnecessary dan
ger by the engineer with whom they
are requested to work.

Mayville has been trying to solve a
mystery, as deep as that of the strik-
ing of Billy Patterson. or that of the
age of Ann. The mystery is: What
has become of the dead man James
Warren, Jr., II years old, says that
four masked men tried to hold him up
as he vas driving to the junction
above that city. It was broad day
light and the placeN s about a mile
and a half from town. On hearing
their order to halt, he whipped up his
horses to drive past them, when they
opened fire, sending several bullets
through his buggy top, mi of them
passing through the crown of his hat.
He returned their fire, and declares
| thatsone of the highway men fell as
if dead, and that another cried out
with pain as he was hit. Warren
himself was uninjured. News was
sent in to town, but too late to do
anything the day of the holdup. The
next day several men went to the
scene, but could find no dead man,
though it was said there were tracks
across the blowing toward the east.
The feeling is n of skepticism about
the affair, but absence of motive on
the young mans part for connecting
such a story conyinces his friends.

LOCAL
WRECK

A slight wreck occurred in the east
end Of the G N. yards at this place
between No. 7 and a yard engine.
No int was hurt but the wreck might
have been much worse. Tho yard
engine with a caboose was doing some
switching and had left the main track
switch open. No. 7 was two minutes
late at the time but fortunately was
running not more than four or five
miles an hour. The switchman
did not see No. Z until it was nearly
upon him he then tried to open the
switch but did not have time to do so.
Engineer Ben Skibush of the passen-
ger applied the emergency but did
not have time to stop the engine col
liding with the caboose lifting it from
the track completely upon a fiat car.
At the time of the accident the yard
engineer was moving toward the open
switch probably intending to get out
the main track and run in ahead
of the passenger.

Editor Inter Ocean: At a meeting
Of the stockholders of the Keith Co.
Operative Creamery Association held
Friday afternoon Oct. 3, it was de,
cided to operate the Creamery during
the winter. Now It lays with the
dairyman living contiguous to it to
give their support to the creamery in
the matter OF selling their cream to
the creamery, receiving each month
the highest price paid for their "but-
ter fat. The creamery has paid
New York prices for butter fat since
1t started and will be able to main
tain these prices during the coming
winter. It only requires individual
effort on the part of the dairyman to
insure complete success of this cream
cry, from this time on. The patrons
will receive a steady income from
sales of cream every month at a steady
price, and each month their wives
can have the satisfaction of going to
the store and buying your goods
with the cash received from their
butter at New York prices instead
Of all Of the labor Of making butter
the old fashioned way and going to
the store to trade it, but %patronize
the home creamery and save labor
and make a corresponding lot of
money. &C. Moores,

Some men know just enough to make

TO the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and who
is reasonably satisfied with the old, we
would suggest that a trial of Defiance
Cold Water Starch be made at once.
Not alone because it is guaranteed by
the manufacturers to be be superior to
any other brand, but because each 1Oc
package contains 16 ozs., while all the
other kinds contain but IL ozs. 1t is
safe to say that the lady who once uses
Defiance Starch will use no other.
Quality and quantity must win.
