this will not make pleasant reading
for the ship subsidy people. AS a
IN after of fact they care very little
about South American trade but il is
convenient stalking horse to use
in raiding the Treasury for several
million dollars. L h institution
that really wants the subsidy and
wants it bad is the International
Mercantile Navigation Company,
that big aggregation of English and
other steamship lines combined
about two years ago by J. p. Nor
gan & Co., Of New York. The re-
port of that Company which is
largely in the Atlantic and Mediter-
ranean trade was made public only
a little while ago and showed that
the new comoine mad run So, ooo.-
900 behind IN the past year 1t is
most likely that it will force the
shipping bill to the front again
during the coming session and it
may be depended upon to use every
argument outside of its own wish
for subsidy to foster its wish.
The government has not been
able to do anything so far to stem
the tide of Chinese sentiment against
American goods, and il is reported
to the State Department that the
boycott is spreading rakidly. At
the same time the Chinese govern
ment declares that it is doing all
ia its power TO prevent any discrim-
ination against a friendly power,
but II would like little reciprocity
on the subject of admitting Chinese
coming to the United States. 1t is
denied very strongly that WI Ting
Fang, the late and genial Minister
to the United States, is back of the
boycott, but at the same time it is
more than suspected in American
circles that the clever old disciple
of Ii Hung Chang is making the
most of his position as the head of
the Board of Foreign Concessions
to foster the war on the country to
which he was lately accredited.
WI picked up lot of western ways
while he was in the United States.
He was a good after dinner speaker
and he was invited everywhere, but
those who know him best said that
he had all the Oriental's dislike for
western ways and it is very likely
that he is now putting all the infor
nation that he picked up in Wash
ington to the best use possible for
China.

The contract has been let for ten
miles more of the Morgantown &
Kingwood railroad. This event
marks another important step to-
wards the completion of the line,
and carries the railroad to the banks
of Cheat river. The ten miles pro-
vided for in the coutrscl Just made
are those between Kingwood and
Trowbridge's Ferry on Cheat river,
about eight miles below Rowlesburg.
III. Renncck, who constructed the
last section from Masontown TO
Kingwood, has been granted this
latest contract, which means a big
thing for his firm.
The bidding was close and the

The Insurgents have just held
their second meeting in Parkersburg

telegraphed me that it is not safe
for Gov. Dawson to return until
Senator Elkins makes peace with
the insurgents. Gov. Dawson has
been appraised of this fact and the

will be TO the interest Of all of us
piemen if Gov. Dawson does not

work Of the institute commenced
under the auspices of the state, re-
presented by Prof. Alex. Nc

Faurot (Farough) and Prof. Cros-

subject Of grasses and soils, and
in the afternoon G. s. Faurot de-
voted considerable time to the

sion was devoted to a talk on ag-
riculture in the public schools, to
the breeding of stock to develop
specialties and to the subject Of

with charts to illustrate the SUBJ
jects which were being treated and
the sessions were very proftably

New Measures for the Week

The plan Of the bill for the Gre
alton of the Idaho Intermountain
Wagon Road commission has fin
ally been determined on and the
measure will be introduced at
once. 1t has been decided that
the commission shall consist of
two members, in addition to the
governor, who shall be the ex-
oficio chairman of the board.
The original plan was for a com,
mission Of one person from each
judicial district. This it was felt
would make the commission ex-
pensive and cumbersome. The
commission bill will carry an ap-
preparation Of $50,00O, and will
take the place Of all the road bills
that have been introduced during
the session.
The passage Of the adultery
and polygamy measures it is felt
finally disposed Of the campaign
cry of which so much was at
tempted to be made during the
last campaign. With the addl
ton of these measures there will
be on the statute books Of Idaho
stringent laws against bigamy,
polygamy, adultery and illegal or
unlawful cohabitation. If the
moral sense Of the various COM
munities is not amply protected
by these laws. it is difficult to i'm
agine any laws or series of laws
that would furnish such protec-
ton.

/ Free Reading Room

Monday evening about thirty
ladies and gentlemen of Blackfoo1
met at the Office Of the IDAHO RE
PUBLICAN to discuss the feasibility
Of establishing free reading
room, and after talking the matter
over the feeling seemed to be that
such an institution conducted on a
small scale with a view of having
it grow into a public library was
the proper thingFto undertake, and
committee consisting OF F. A..
Monroe, L. A. Aldrich and Geo.
F. Gagon was appointed to select
a location and see what financial
support could be obtained for it.
A. I. Ryan spoke in the meeting
in behalf of the militia, and said
that Company f, has under con-
sideration a plan for building
hall to be used as an armory. with
a gymnasium, a reading room and
bath room, and that they would
be in position to make some def
mite announcement Of their plans,
etc., in about two weeks. That
if it was agreeable to the move
ment now being started to combine
for one reading room it would in
sure greater success with less ex-
pense. This matter was well re-
ceived and made the whole matter
look more feasible as the militia is
a permanent organization backed
by the state. They have hereto
fore kept alive and active on four
dollars month from the state and
donations from the members. but
now they are to receive $400 a
year. The plans are well under
way for their hall, they have al
ready accumulated lot of prop
erty which the members of the
company paid for out Of their own
pockets, and the same loyalty that
has supported it under OBSTACLES
in the past will insure it a more
vigorous body with state aid.
The present prospect for the
reading room is that it will have
q temporary home somewhere on
Main or bridge street if place
can be found, and that will be in
The new armory hall when it is
completed.
