oNSLAUGHT0 THE TREASURY

There have been no serious Jobs put
through the legislature.
That's from the BOISE Statesman
and is printed just after the most as
founding jobbery ever perpetrated in
the state-just after the republican
majority encouraged, by the ease
with which the people of the state
were deceived last November and de-
luded into electing the republican
ticket, to hope for the same success

taking $2l, 600 from the pockets of

it. They also placed large number

UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

Among the alleged evils inflicted
on the deluded people of the state,
the most fragrant and bitterly
denounced by the party press and
hired rooters of the G. o. p. generally
was the institution of the office of
insurance commissioner, by the late
democratic administration; and the
immediate adjustment of this
"useless appendix of the treasury
department was promised as the
principal reason for turning the ras-
Gals out.
But things have changed since
Hannah died, and when the question
was up before the house on the last
day of the sterile session of the slim
perry seventh, the move to abolish
the Office met with disastrous defeat

Hon. Henry Heitfeld left Washing
ton for his Idaho home on the 9TH
inst. The leading republican papers
OF Idaho pay him a number of left
banded compliments that are GER
tainly more obnoxious that actual
adverse criticism They forgot to
mention one essential qualification
possessed by the ex-senator, namely
that he Is and was citizen Of Idaho,
defacto. Another characteristic of
a very commendable nature is his
inherent honesty of purpose aud ac-
ton, virtue that is not easily ac-
quired, even while inhaling the odor
of sanctify that permeates the lofty
chambers of the United States senate
on the republican side. However,
Spokane, state of Washington, is
considered to be a fine town, and
said to be very enterprising.

senator (from Spokane) in the front

The senator went inside somewhat

He is not as big man in Washing

state, and besides, owing to circum-
stances, he has ''shrinked" some.

The third of the October teas at the
Alexandria golf house was served on
Friday afternoon, October 16. Those
receiving were Miss Esther Fowle
Brcokes, Miss Lucy Lee Brookes, Mrs.
Albert Smoot, jr., and Miss Anne w.
Ansley. The day was beautiful one,
many golfers were on the field, and the
view of the surrounding country in its
varied colors, the Potomac winding in and
out. and the Maryland hills beyond made
the Alexandrians very proud of their
newly established club. The attractive
house, dressed in autumn foliage, bril-
liant with a log fire and soft lights, was
beyond expectation. There were about
one hundred people present, including
twenty-five young ladies from Gnnston
Institute, ofWashington, and the tea of
October the 10th, 1908, will ever be re-
membered as the daintiest and hand
soonest of the Alexandria Golf Club.

The apple crop this year has been
bountiful. and some of the largest and
most luscious specimens ever seen here
abouts are now displayed in abundance
in stores. Fine apples are luxuries in
some countries, and it is said travellers

fruit are grown often sigh for finely,
