At Monday nights meeting of the
council the committee on wharves and
water frontage reported on the letter
Of the committee of ten relative to the
sea wall proposal. The committee Of
ten sent in the following request:
we would like an expression of your
honorable body as to the position you
would take regarding filing in the
streets mentioned. II large majority
of the property owners arrange for the
sea wall and I'LL of their individual
property, would you order all the
streets in the district filled to grade?
The assessment of the cost of such
streets filled to go against all the prop
erty in such proportion as you may
decide" The wharves and water 'front.'
age committee reported as follows:
I'VE, your committee on wharves and
water lEOhtd6c, W WhoAi was W
the communication similar to the one
hereto attached, most respectfully re-
port that, in case the property owners
OF the city contract for filing in that
portion of the city usually covered by
high tide, we would recommend the
streets be filled in at the same time,
either by the assessment plan or at
public expense. We are inclined to the
opinion that it would be better to- do
all this at the expense of the property
by the special assessment plan, pro-
vided that unreasonable charge for the
work be guarded against. Should the
property owners desire the lots and
streets filled, we would recommend
such favorable action as will secure the
filling of the streets" This is about all
the council is able to do TO further the
sea wall proposal, and the committee Of
ten is quite well satisfied with the
councils action.

Frank Kankkanan, superintendent
OF the Co operative cannery, who, with
his family. recently returned from
a visit Of some months in Europe,
speaks. interestingly of the conditions
he found there The chief object OF
Mr.. Kanakkanan going abroad was to
get In closer touch with foreign mar
ket for salmon, and he reports that
the Columbia river brand is greatly In
vogue In the countries he visited. He
spent most OF his time while away
travelling. going first to Germany and
from there to Finland, his native coun-
try. He also visited Norway and
Sweden. The people in Finland are
kept In absolute subjugation by domi-
nant Russia and are greatly dissatisfied
with the laws they are compelled to
obey. The system Of education and all
the rules OF LIE are regulated by Rus
sia. Russian spies abound, so that a
man is never free to express his views.
even in his own home. immigration is
restricted. guards being placed along
the frontier to prevent anyone from
leaving the country. Just now the men
are being recruited for the army to
fight for Russia in the oriental war, and
this circumstance causes great unrest
as the people are not in sympathy with
Japan's enemy and would doubtless be
highly pleased in the event Of the final
triumph OF the land of the rising sun.
Mr.. Kankkanan is satisfied with the
result of his trip, finding little difficulty
in introducing the product Of his can
merry in the European markets. The
value of the royal chinook as a canned
or picked article over that of the Baltic
sea salmon is beginning to be more and
more appreciated, and in few years
will doubtless take its place entirely.

named Hart. 1t had been arranged
for number of Mormons to create a
disturbance, but their nerve deserted
them, showing that the Mormons them
selves are alarmed over the revolution
against church and state (Mormon

them to be alarmed, or rather it would
be better for the church to confine
itself to the ways of church, conduct
itself as other religious denominations
do, wipe out polygamy entirely, and
cease forever any attempt at holding

torial purposes-it would be better
for 1t to do that than to arouse the

The revolt of the republican wom-

women of Idaho to say by their bal
lots whether they want polygsmy and
unlawful cohabitation to continue
here, and all the other denominations

the republican program, or whether
they want it exterminated according
to the democratic program, there can
hardly be question as to how big
majority of the women will vote.

Charles DAILY, an employee of the
Boise Gas company, was murdered at
his home at midnight Wednesday, or
early Thursday morning. The deed
lies between his wife and one Fred
Bond, who had room at the house.
There is dispute between the man

wife and was shot with revolver and
beat and cut on the head with a
Ratchet and then shot some more.
The woman says Bond helped her !;
Bond says he had nothing to do with
it, but had gone to his room when the
quarrel began, and when aroused bv
the shooting he went to the room
where it occurred and was met by the
woman with revolver and told To
stay away. The woman says that
DAILY threatened her life and that she
shot him and when he fell she cover
ed him with quilt and went to bed.
about three hours later he began to
groan and stir and Mrs. DAILY got up
and battered him with the Ratchet
and shot him again. After that he
lay still and she slept undisturbed.

BOISE, Idaho, Oct. THE con-
tinued desertion of the republican
state ticket by prominent republicans
is causing cold blanket to rest down
on the fervid claims of the Gooding
rooters that he will be elected gov
ernor by 30, 900 majority. Gooding
made this Munchausen claim in North
Idaho and made himself laughing
stock for his pains. Since he came
down here and has heard from some
of the counties in this vicinity in
Guiding his own where strenuous in
quiries are now being made through
the press why he has not paid that
little back balance of 50, 500 he owes
the county, he is not quite 80 gay but
still hopeful.
His recent ardor for the twomile
limit law "as Il now stands" is not
helping him anywhere the sheep have
ravaged the homes of the settler, and
his open defense of the Mormon
denominations in this state about com
pletes his shame.
AS the friends of Governor Morri-
son, who was turned down by the
Mormons, and Gooding put up in his
stead, get wise to the dirty deal by
which the ticket was named at Mos
COW they feel more and more the
wrong done them, and are not giving
