Fight on Standard Oil.
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 14.--Thomas W

may lead the movement TO drive the

The Oil Producers association, OF Cha.
nuto, today forwarded an invitation to
the Boston man to interest himself In

of it's by-products in opposition to the
Standard Oil corporation. The Pure
Oil company IL said to be the strongest
competitor Of the Standard Oil company

Boise, Feb. 8.-The senate TODAY an.

protest with the governor signed bv %

perintendent Chamberlain and it makes
serious and sensational charges of ne.
elect and filthiness. 1t follows:
"Hon. Frank R. Gooding, governor.
Boise, Idaho, Sir: We, your petition.
ers, inmates of the Soldiers Home. re-.
spectfully protest against the reappoint-
ment of the present commandant Of the
Soldiers Home, for the following rea-
sons, to-wit:
First - That the home is and has
been alive with bedbugs, and no effort
has been made to eradicate them by the
authorities Of the home.
Second Neither the commandant
nor the matron, (his wife, visits the
hospital or sick ward more than once in
three months. The sick inmates are
neglected, no little delicacies, so much
relished by sick men everywhere, are
ever prepared for them, their beds are
unmade unless the sick men make them
themselves, or their comrades, out Of
pure sympathy, make them for them.
"Thiid-That the matron is vindic-
tive and overbearing, and apparently
is the head of the institution.
Cleanliness is not one of the virtues
practiced by the authorities Of the
home, and it is respectfully submitted
that if the adjutant general Of the
state or committee of either house Of
the legislature would visit the home
at time entirely unexpected by those
in authority, such an inspection would
find condition of things there existing
which would call for prompt and eff
cient remedy"

Taylor, of Kotenai, asked and was
granted permission to withdraw his bill
dividing Kootenai county, creating the
county of Clark out of the northern
portion, with Sand Point as the county
seat. The action followed meeting In
which the bill was discussed. An adj
verse report was drawn up, but was not
presented to the senate, in view of the
withdrawal.
The advocates of division pin their
faith to the house bill abolishing the
old county and creating two new coun-
ties, Lewis and Clark, with Sand Point
as county seat of the former, and Occur
d'Alene as the seat of government for
the other. The opponents of this meas
ure are confident of defeating it, while
its supporters maintain that it can be
passed.

Boise, Feb. 13.-One of the hveliest
contests of this session of the legisla-
ture is likely to arise over new appor-
tionment of the state for legislative
purposes. 1t is probable Representa-
tive Thomas of Nez Perez will present
1t. The basis of this bill is the total
vote cast for governor at the last cleo
ton.
1t is proposed, it is stated, to give
one representative up to 5000 votes,
two from 5000 to $500. three from
$500 to 5000, four from 5000 to 6,OOo'
hive from 5000 to $500 and six for
more than $500, the major fractions
being understood to apply in each case
On the basis of last years vote there
would be no other decreases unless the
legislature should consider part OF the
vote cast in Shoshone county as belong
ing to Nez Perez on account of the
annexation, in which event Shoshones
county would lose one. The total
membership of the house would be %,
and the only increase over the present
apportionment would be Ada one
kootenai two and Nez Perez one.
Nez Perez will insist on being cred
tied with the annexed votes, notwith-
standing they were cast in Shoshone
county, which would give Nez Perez
six and reduce Shoshone to three. Inc

A HOTEL ON WHEELS.
New Dining Cars of the Great
Northern Railway a Feature
of the "Oriental Limited.

1t is, perhaps, best to say that
in every respect-china, cuisine
and attendants, the dining car
service of the ''OrienJal Limited"
is in keeping with the luxurious
ness of the remainder of this
regal train, and has won, as the
dining car service has always
helped to win, the title, The
Comfortable Way" for the Great
Northern Railway. The new
dining car service of the "Orient-
al Limited" equals in beauty, de
sign and interior furnishings
anything which a first class hotel
or club affords in the way of SER
vice is really on the dining car
of the "Oriental Limited" The
new dining cars were built with
a special purpose in view of af-
fording the most comfortable
surroundings, as we'll as giving
the traveller a unique and luxu-
rious place in which to enjoy his
meals. A gentleman who recent
ly made the journey to the coast
from St. Paul on the "Oriental
Limited''. IN speaking of the din
ing car service, said:
II have travelled on almost
every important railroad in the
United States, but I have yet to
find one which surpasses the
"Oriental Limited" in the comfort
and convenience afforded the
traveller. Your dining car SER
vice is excellent, the equal Of any
in the country, and the superior
of many. I was particularly
struck with the beauty Of the in
terror furnighings Of these din
ing cars; they are really novelty
of car architecture.
