REGISTRATION
ISVERYHEAVY
TOTAL NUMBER OF NAMES ON
LIST WILL REACH NEAR.
" 500.

The regular days for registration
for the coming municipal election end
ed yesterday, but on Saturday there
will be an extra day, when those who
were absent from the city on the reg
ular days, or unavoidably kept away
from the office, will have a chance
to get their names on the list.
The registration now compares ia.
vorably with that of any former year,
the total being 456. When to this is
added the names that will go on Sat
ur,lay, the total will be close to ATS,
and perhaps more. Last year the reg
istration was SOB, and the vote in the
three wards was 44S, as follows:
First ward, 116; Second ward, 1SS;
Third ward, 144.
1t is a certainty, however, that all
of those registered will not vote, as
some who subscribed to the oath stat
ing that they have resided in the state
a year. in the city six months and in
the precinct 80 days, are known to
have taken up their residences else.

The Republicans will see that only
those qualified vote, and several par
ties are likely to discover on election
day that it is easier to get their names
on the registration list than it is to
get their ballots into the box. The
Republicans intend to be absolutely
fair in this matter, but they do not
intend to allow anyone to vote who
is not qualified to do so.
The Freeholders.
The number of freeholders register
ed is 168, which is also a very good
showing. Those coming in this class
will vote on the applications for fran
chises, two of which will be present
ed on election day. They are from
the Judith Basin Milling company

railway track to the site of the new

be definitely learned. but the bankers
united in saying that they were very

FOUR YEARS0F

SENATOR WAITE SAYS WHOLE
COUNTRY IS CONFIDENTLY
EXPECTING IT.

Senator and Mrs. J. D. Waite re-
turned Saturday evening from an ex-
tended eastern trip, ON which they at.
tended the Inauguration, and visited
their old home at Pen Yam. N. Y.
"The Inauguration was magnif.
cent affair."" said Senator Waite.
"and it did every man who witnessed
it good. It was too big an event and
had too many sides to it to admit of
easy description, but the reports as
to the crowds, the impressiveness of
the ceremonies, the extent of the par.
ade and above all the enthusiasm,
have not been exaggerated"
While at the capital, Mr.. Waite met
President Roosevelt, prior to his ap.
pointment as member of the federal
commission for the worlds fair, and
had a very pleasant chat with the ex'
ecutive.
Mr.. Waite says that one of the
most popular features of the parade
was the cowboy contingent. The men
with the lasso made a hit with ev'
eryb0dy.
Four Years of Prosperity.
Business conditions in the east
says Senator Waite, are most encour
aging and every one appears to be
confident of four years of unprece
dented prosperity all over the coun
try. The wool market is in good
shape-that is, the prospective WOO
market. for there is practically none
of the staple on the market now
Talks with buyers and other authori
ties all indicated that there will be
an advance over the present quota
tions when the season once commen
ces. and the markets are stirred by
competition for wool. Senator Waite
expects to leave for Nebraska next
week to look after band of sheep he
has feeding there. These sheep are tt
be clipped right away. and the WOO
marketed.
Both Senator and Mrs. Waite enjoy
ed their trip thoroughly.

Castro Looking for Trouble.


Washington, March 29.-It has been
decided to await the reception OF the
exact text of President Castro's refus-
al to accept Minister Bowen's arbt-
tration proposition before further pro-
ceeding with negotiations in this line.
1t is realized that there may be a fair
difference of opinion as to whether
or not the Venezuela response was
couched in discourteous language, and
it may be that at this distance from
the seat of negotiations, and after the
lapse of few days, the words which
appeared to Mr.. Bowen to be insolent
will admit of different construction
The disposition is to move circum'
specify at least at this end, and un'
less President Castro chooses to force
an issue by another move at Caracas,
it is believed some time will be con.
sumed in reaching a settlement.
