circuit court of Clarke county, the
complainant being Mrs. Maude Frye
Annette.
Among other sensational statements

stay on the other; that he drew a
chalk line so as to divide her part of
the house from his. and told her she
could not cross the said chalk mark.

$25 per month during the rest of her
life. if she would leave him. This
offer she rejected.

sun GROWS SMALLER
OLD SOL RAPIDLY LOSING HEAT
EACH DAY.
British Scientist Declares That Az.
founding Conditions Prevail
Will Expire in About "a
Million Years.

LOndOn.-"The sun grows smaller by
16 inches every "a hours" Such was the
startling statement by Sir Robert Ball,
the Irish astronomer, to an audience at
the Bishopgate institute.
A few minutes later he Gained the
apprehensionS of his hearers by stating
that the sun was in no immediate DAN
ger of becoming a cold black spot in
the heavens, but would in all probability
last for few million years
Sir Robert spoke of the tremendous
prOdigality with which the sun dispenseS
its heat-with jOcOse reference to it
as the prOdigal sun-and of the posi-
bilities which arise from that prodiga,-
ity.
Ten million years ago. said Sir Rob
ert, dealing with the period as though
it was that of an ordinary lease, the
sun was nearly million times wider
than it is at present. because of the fact
that ii is getting colder and because
of the principle that a red hot poker is
wider than a cold one.
AS showing The tremendous conhrs-
ton that IS going on in the sun to
keep up its heat Sir Robert declared
that il all the coal in the earth were
poured into the sun it would last less
than the ten-thousandth part Of a sec
Ond in that tremendous cOntiagration.
Fortunately said the astronomer,
sit is not to combustion alone that the
suns heat is due. In its process of con-
traction the particles of the gigantic orb
produce such a tremendous friction that
the heat from this friction is equal to
the burning of 5000 globes of coal
'Of late. proceeded Sir Robert, the
idea has prevailed that the suns energy
is due to the presence of that mysteri-
Ous agent-radium If that is so, and if
radium exists in the sun in the same
proportion that it exists in the earth
then instead of the paltry $4,000 600
years allowed to the sun because of com
hustioD or friction. we can rest com
fOrted in the belief that it will warm
this old earth for one billion years. BY
which time added Sir Robert. most
OF us will be beyond the reach OF solar
energy"

Jan. 10, 1904. Judge Morgan sus-

They then appealed to the supreme

In this connection, it may be of
interest to note that in January

IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONER.

The Silver City Nugget comes
forward with several timely sug-
gestions relative OF the appointment
of the state Commissioner Of Immi-
grafton.
This matter has also been taken
up and warmly seconded by the
Weiser World, which warmly en-
dorses Norman Jackson OF that
place for the position.
The Office of immigration Com
missioner is OF great importance to
the State of Idaho. 1t is an office
in which the people OF every town
and village in the entire state have
an interest. 1t costs considerable
money to maintain it. The office
should he filled by man of the
very best talents. 1t requires n
man familiar with the resources and
conditions of the state, and man
of educational ability to properly
exploit these conditions and re-
sources before the public. The of
ficer should also be one who can
handle a vast amount of office
work. Such man is Norman
Jackson, at present chief clerk of
the state land board. In his pres
ent capacity he has made a magnif-
iccnt record. During the past two
years his office transacted over
81 100000 worth of business besides
maintaining supervision OF state
lands worth many millions of dol
lars. All this work was handled
by Norman Jackson in a manner
that is a monument to his ability
and integrity. He is a hard worker
enthusiastic and as true as steel.
His duties in the state land Office
have taken him into every part o
the state, with which he has becom,
thoroughly familiar.
IfGovernor Gooding should nam,
Norman Jackson for this place he
would make no mistake.

Supreme

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 9.-The Su-
premc Court has Just handed down
a decision affirming the validity of
the special road tax law. This
decision sustains Judge Ralph T.

VS.. the County of Kootcnai.

the board of county commissioners
made a special road tax levy. The
railroads and large timber compa-
nies refused to pay this tax, hold
ing that the law was unconstitu-
tional. They appealed from the
