Points OF New Measure

Boise, Idaho. April Gov Gooding
has called a meeting OF the board Of
trustees OF the Blackfoot insane asy-
lum, which Will be held at the asylum
next Saturday, April 10. rhe board io
composed OF Hon A. b. Moss Payette,
Hon, Henry Jones, Malad. and Hon.
b, j, Briggs, Idaho Falls together with
the governor as ex.ofiicio q member
OF the board, This will be the first reg
ular meeting Of the board, and is re-
garded as certain to be one Of much
importance. The recent Legislature
provided for the Improvement OF the
asylum, and at this meeting Of the
board preliminary steps win be taken
70 carry these provisions for improve
inent into immediate effect.
LOCATION or NEW CAPITAL.
The question of the location Of the
new capital is still the one question
OF the hour. The board of capitol COM
missioners are frankly favorable to the
present site, provided sufficient ground
can be obtained to carry out the plans
for a building and grounds. The plan
decided on, was TO use the present
block on which the capitol building Is
now located. and the central school
block, Just west Of the state block, and
then to use state street, lying just
north of the site outlined, changing the
street onto what Is now residence
ground, and making the street for the
Two blocks take the form Of "a curve.
This would give ground enough to en-
able a handsome entrance TO be placed
on both the south and north fronts
which would be impossible unless this
is done. If the necessary residence pro-
perty cannot be purchased at reason
able price, to carry out this plan, the
capitol commission are most likely to
select the Timer and Thatcher tract.
This Is at the north end OF state street.
and just west Of the military reserve.
At this place a tract several acres in
extent is offered the state at what IL
believed a reasonable price, a portion
OF the price to be paid by the citizens
Of Boise, If this site is selected the
city Will first be asked to vacate Eighth
street through the proposed grounds,
and provided streets on both the east
| and west sides Of the grounds.
There will be a meeting Of the sol
diers' home board IN the near future
when bids for the construction OF a hos
| pital in connection with the home win
be opened and probably the contract
| viii be let.
STATE BRANDING LAW.
