The Case of Senator Smoot.

The Statesman's Washington CORES
pondent, writing under date Of Nov %
has this to say of the Smoot case:
Live and interesting as will be the
debates on the rate bill and canal legis-
lation, there will be more human inter
est in the Reed Smoot case than in any
thing else that comes up this session.
The committee onOprlvileges and cleo
tions, early in January. will resume
hearing in the SmOot case, and will
bring out choice bits of testimony that
did not creep into the records in the last
congress. When the testimony is all in
the committee will devote several weeks
to its consideration, and then two re-
ports will be made to the senate, one
favoring Smoot, the other against him.
Fills case, once out Of committee. will
take precedence over all other business
in the senate and there will be several
weeks sof talk and discussion before the
senate votes to determine Shoots right
to q seat in the senate. There being no
question of the regularity of his cleo ton
and the objection being based entirely
upon the fact that Smoot is an apostle
in the Mormon church, the senate must
decide whether or not his duties and
obligations as church official will in
terfere with the free performance of his
duty in the senate. If it finds there is
no conflict, Smoot will be seated; other
wise, he will be turned out The
chances strongly favor Senator Smoot.'

Hot Time In Old Nez Perez.

After all the talk that has been heard
it seems that j. B. West Mas removed
as register of the u. s. land Office at
Lewiston purely and simply for political
rearons The first dispatch said that he
was accused Of using the Office to enrich
himself. It seems this was not true.
Mr.. West has thousands Of friends all
over the state who never did and do not
now believe that he was ever guilty of
unofficial conduct. Mr. West has been
a most popular and efficient official and
the element back OF the movement to
GUST him from Office will find that his
removal has made him stronger than
ever Talk about "a Hot Time ia the
Old Town Tonight" it won't be in it

wishes to make prediction that the
West Kester-K ettenbach faction are to-
day stronger than ever and will demon
strste this fact in the next campaign.

An IJnlucky Mine.

About s o'clock Thanksgiving eve.
Supt. i. H. Martin of No. mine at Al
my made the discovery that the mine
was on fire.
An inspection was made and 1t was
found that the fire had started on the
entry. Heroic work was done to check
the fire fiend's advance, force of men
soon had the entry bulk headed, in an
endeavor to prevent the air from getting
to the flames and thus choke the fire.
The entrance was blocked and it was
thought that this would prevent the
spread Of fire, but on Thursday an ex-
plosion occurred knocking the bulk
heading out, putting an end to this hope.
The extent of the damage is not known
but this much is almost a certainty,
there will he no more coal from Almy
this winter for local consumption, and
we will have to use the Kemmerer or
Rock Springs article.
About two months ago the boiler and
engine house and the outer workings OF
this mine were entirely destroyed by fire
and about three weeks ago the mine was
| reopened, the company having put in
new machinery, and having done repair
work costing thousands of drllars.
The preseat disaster will no doubt put
an end to No. mine for all the time. =

low sort is on the market in large
quantities. The latter is harder to
