The Seventh session of the Idaho
legislature has passed into history, and
and will be remembered for long time
as the weakest hat has ever dragged
wearily through 80 monotonous days.
It's net result is the passage Of mine
taxation bill specially designed to
exempt the big producing mines from
taxation by making the net proceeds the
basis of valuation; the establishment
of state reform school at cost of
some 100000 to ihe taxpayers; the vot-
ing of beet sugar bounty for the bene-
fit of the trust the enactment of an ex-
pertinent in the shape of banking treas
ury bill; the passage of new apportion-
ment bill based on partisan conditions
and also certain political amendments
to the election laws.-Boise News. DEM

Chamberlain that his fathers bitter

criticism to offer over the sons APP

that he was about the most ineffi-

Ward dangled from the balloon about
ten feet above the aerOnaut, and be-

brought TO an upright position there
was some chance for Ward, so, after
