Idaho's Population.

A quarter of a million people in Ida
no..
That is the estimate placed upon the
population of this state by Colonel AL
len MilleH state immigration commits
sioner. who bases bis estimate upon fig
ures found in the Office of Miss Scott,
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton. 4
School superintendent of the various
counties in the state have sent in their
reports on the school census of June,
1905. and from these it has been def
nitely determined that on that date
there were 70, 600 children of school age
in the Gem state.
The government census OF 1900 gave
Idaho population of 1852, 900, and the
number of children of school age in
that year was given at $4,000 This
would give proportion of three to one
Using that ratio this year would result
in present population of $4,000, but
Commissioner Miller is very firm in the
belief that since June of this year there
has been substantial increase in the
number of school children in the state,
and a still more substantial increase in
the general population. He therefore
conservatively estimates the present
number Of people in Idaho at a vuarter
of a million.

Filed Contest on Water Rights.

The first contest that has ever been
filed in the state engineers Office under
that provision of the state irrigation
law providing that holders of subse-
quent permits for the improvement of
streams may contest previous locations
if fifth of the work has not been done
before the expiration of half the time
allowed, was filed with State Engineer
Stephenson Monday. The contest
comes from Nez Perce county, and
Senator Fred S. Dubois is the contestee.
Senator Dubois and associates filed
an application on April q. 1908, for the
appropriation of the waters of the east
and west forks OF Sweetwater creek,
Waha creek, Lake Waha, Captain John
creek and other small streams in the
vicinity of Lewiston, to the extent of
400 second feet. This application was
approved by the engineer on April 20,
1908. one feature of the permit granted
being thd provision that one-fifth of
the work must be completed not later
than October 90, 1905.
! III. L. Powers of Portland and +. d !.
Warner of Lewiston were later grant
ed permits covering much the same
ground as permit No. I. issued to Sem
ator Dubois ct al. They have now fled
protest with the engineer, through
Attorney James E. Babb OF Lewiston,
asking for the cancellation of the Du-
bois permit.
Although it was necessary for the
senator to complete fifth OF the work
/ by October 20 Of this year, it is alleged
in the contest papers that nothing
whatever has been done toward accom-
plishing the $3.50, 900 of beneficial work
upon the streams named in the permit.
1t is necessary under the provisions
of the statute for the contest proceed
ings to be filed with the state engineer
| ION or before" the day whed the eth
of the work should have been compile
ted, and Messrs. Powers and Warner
have waited until the time was prac-
! tically past before entering theirobjec-
tion-so late there seems no possibility
| that the requisite $4,000 of work can
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1905-10-20

be completed before Friday, the expira-
ton Of the time limit.
Under the law the engineer will now
conduct an investigation of the claim
that the necessary fifth of the work has
not been done, and If the contest OF
Messrs. Powers and Warner is found to
have been we'll founded, the permit to
Senator Dubois and his associates will
be revoked .-Statesman

for feeble minded at Medical Lake, and
said:

been offered me, and cannot say wheth-
er or not it will be. 1t is rumored, l
know, that 1 was to be appointed to
this post, but nothing has been said to
me about it. 1t may be that my name
has been mentioned in connection with
the appointment by the fact that it mas
been offered me by two former govern
ors. In each case I declined the ap-
pointment."
eff it were offered you by Governor
Mead would you accept it," DR.. Frank
was asked.
"Well, can't say just at this time
whether I would or not" he replied.
at would depend upon conditions. Any
way, 1 don't care to discuss it, since it

doctor was greeted with a large audi
ence. In the course OF the lecture he
spoke of many burning questions of
the day, and advanced as the panacea
the girl or woman of four sides. Speak
ing of education, he emphasized the
fact that much Of it is superficial, and
advocated thoroughness along all lines.
He deplored the idea of politics being
left entirely to men SO often lacking in
principle. He strongly advocated the
restoration of family worship and vigor-
ously condemned the irreverence of the
present age. The people Of the various
denominations should be taught the
why and wherefore of their respective
churches and to deprecate the ignorance
frequently displayed. He condemned
the trashy hymns SO often sung to rag
time music, and advised the people to
60 back to the old Hymnal of the church
full of doctrine and worship; advised
the use of the Prayer Book-that price,
less heritage Of the English-speaking
people. The speaker took firm stand
in regard to the divorce evil and was one
with the position of the Roman Catholic
church. The international SurGay SCHOOL
lessons were also denounced, and again
he advised definite church teaching. He
made splendid appeal for more home
life in this country; that and that alone
could save US. 1t was there that we
must look for the solution of all the
great questions of the day. The girl
raised in the pure home life made the
model wife, became the model mother,
and the mother Of such homes is the
great leaven that is needed in this and
all centuries. The people of Sunnyside
are rarely privileged to have such vital
truths presented to them in the way
they were in the lecture Of 'The Girl
Four Square,"
