method in the hope Of misleading the
people. President Roosevelt and the
national administration generally are
thoroughly supported by the people of
Idaho. and Mr.. Dubois knew that he
did not dare to oppose Mr.. Roosevelt
in the campaign of 1904: and hence he
raised the Mormon question with the
hope that he might secure the votes
upon that issue. His reasons, in my
estimation, are political pure and sim
pie.

HARD NUT .sr ~,
TO CRACK
Taxpayer" Asks Some Leading
Questions Which Courts
May Settle


Regarding the act Of the last legls-
lature by which southern Shoshone
was annexed to Nez Perez county,
there are a number Of questions which
I would like to ask and In all proba-
bility the courts may have to settle the
question.
In the first place. the first thing to be
done is the accountants to be appoint
ed by each Of the counties, then after
their returns are reported to their re-
spective commissioners. Nez Perez
county must issue to Shoshone county
the amount which is due her. Suppos-
ing that Nez Perez coHnty's debt il
100000 and the portion which we take
off is one-fifth of her territory. then
we would owe her $4,000. now add
$4,000 to Nez Perce county's debt,
Surprising the new county in two or
four years should be taken Off of Nez
Perez county, and the proposed new
county would be ONE fifth of the value.
then Nez Perez county would also re-
ceive $4,000 for that portion OF the
territory which cost US $4,000.
Now another questionable law fur
thermore says that the board of COM
missioners shall draw the warrants in
favor Of Shoshone county for the
amount due Surprising We should is
sue to Shoshone county $4,000 of war;
rants. The supreme court has said
that money enough must be raised in
each and every year to pay the ex-
penses oft hat year; then, would that
$4,000 pay the expense Of that year
and must we raise money enough ia
pay that? 1t would virtually take 10
per cent of our total revenue to do that.
Then. If we issue these warrants and
pay as many OF them as we can, II
means that our own warrants will de-
preciate on account of the unpaid por-
ton of our warrants which we issue
being thrown into the warrant redemp-
ton fund. We already have in this
warrant redemption fund. interest and
all. $4,000. and it would be three or
four years before we could get them
all paid up. Should We want bond
to pay for this Indebtedness in the face
of another proposed county change. or
shall we let ii go? -
Another question regarding this bill.
The recorder of Shoshone county shall
receive twenty cents per folio for tram
scribing the records. This will amount
to great many thousand dollars at
that price. and Shoshone county gets
the benefit of it. Would it not have
been better to have the law read that
Nez Perce county should pay to them
the actual expenses of recording 1t
seems to me that this is abo.t three
times too high. or in other words, Sho-
shone county will make great many
hundred dollars off of us instead of the
actual cost. This recording business
must go back TO 1861 Gas per extract
from Wallace Pressl, which covers
mining claims and water rights. as well
as real estate transfers. l fail to see
where Neg Perez county of today Is
going to play even In this matter

Discussing the business of counter feiting, John E. Wilkie, chief of the United States secret service, says that the methods of counterfefters have changed greatly during the past twen- ty years. Then the eounterfeiter was usually an engraver of a high class whose work bore as much individual ity as that of Hogarth At that time it was possible to say almost to cer- tainty that a particular plate was en- graved by particular individual. The introduction of the camera, however, and the perfection of photo-mechani- cal processes, have done away with the laborious work of the steel engray- CT, and as the camera has no individ- uality. the difficulty of discovering the identity of the maker of the plate has been increased a hundred fold. Most of the counterfeit notes are to-day pro- duced by photo-mechanieal processes, either photo-lithographing or photo etching on zinc or copper. That there are not more attempts at counterfeit ing Chief Wilkie thinks speaks most highly for the honesty of the engrav. CTS as class.

as the country developed. This did not altogether meet the wishes of the war department, though Governor Luke Wright. now in Washington. said that half loaf was better than no bread and was rather in favor of allowing the partial bids to stand. But the secretary of war has an nounced that fresh bids will be ad- vertised to be opened January 20th. Then there has been more trouble over that perennially sore spot, the army canteen. The officials of the war department profess themselves deeply grieved, but not in the least surprised, at the state of affairs dis closed by the investigation in Fort Sheridan, where it was shown that the worst sort of grog shops, dives and crooked gambling joints flourish ed all around the post. It was said too, that there had been 25 homicides ill these places within the past year Ali of the officers in the army want the canteen re-established. AS prom incnt a member of the W. c. T. U. as Miss Phoebe Cousins, said that it was useless to blink at matters and it was better to control the drinking os the soldiers than to force them to drink out of the garrison. But the military committees of the house and senate have not the moral courage to replace the canteen. So vice of the worst sort will be allowed to flourish around all Of the army posts because few good, but mistaken women, cannot under stand that single men in barracks don't grow into plaster saints.'"

Admiral Dewey's Message to
 All Our Tars Ahoat.
WIRELESS FLASHES IT ACROSS SEA
Christmas Celebrations at the Phil- ippines, West Indies and In
 Home Ports-Stern Duty at Shanghai.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. Aboard the ships of the American navy scat tered in foreign and home waters yes terday was observed as holiday. The Christmas greeting sent around the world by Admiral Dewey was commu- nicated to the officers and men of all the vessels in the service that could be reached. ,a.s 5,..4 ss,.s The admiral's Christmas greeting be- spoke a united stand for the good of the country and the service.
 To the men of the navy along the Atlantic coast there was also sent 6 Christmas greeting by means of wire less telegraphy, which incidentally served as an elaborate and practical test of this auxiliary of the naval serv- ice.
 The wireless messages were sent by direction of Admiral Manney, chief of the bureau of equipment, and the re- suits were most satisfactory to him. The messages containing the greetings were sent out from the wireless station at the Washington navy yard and were relayed from place to place.
 Early responses came from the ofi- cers nearest Washington, but before midnight many of the stations had re- piled, including New Orleans; Colon ahd san Juan. the Colon reply coming by way of Guantanamo.
 In the far east the largest navy cele- bration took place at Cavite, opposite Manila. where the battleships Ohio and Oregon, the protected cruisers Ra- leigh and Cincinnati, the destroyers Bainbridge and Chauncey are at an chor. A different Christmas was spent by the cruiser Baltimore and the gun boat Yillalobos at Shanghai, where, because of the condition of unrest ex. isting, no shore leave was granted, and the officers and men, except the guards on shore, spent the day on board ship. The battleship Wisconsin is at Hong kong.
 Tn the West Indies the crews dec. orated the ships with great palm leaves, and Rear Admiral Bradford distributed his ships for the holidays to various island ports. -..

There is talk that the bureau of cor porations in the department of com merce and labor has just about com pleted an investigation into the affairs of the Standard Oil Co which will end in the trial of that noted or notorious corporation for combination Fin re straint of trade, says our Washington correspondent It is quite possible that the investigation is under way. The commissioner of corporations would naturally like to have look into the affairs of the great oil com pany. But it is doubtful if Mir Rocke- feller is losing any sleep over it. It is unlikely that the case will come to !. trial and if it does, it is still more un- likely that convictions vii. be .se- cured. In the case of the latter fm- probability there is no danger that the sentence will be any more severe than it was in the case of the beef trust men who were fined S25yOO0 without a jail sentence. Of course fine would be a great hardship to Mir Rockefeller or Mir Rogers. A fine of s25,000 would be almost as much to either of them as a fine of 9 cents would be to the average prosperous citizen. But the widest flight of imagination could not picture anything worse than fine happening to one of the big men in the Standard oil Co.

There has been a general shifting of places in the state department. The Third Assistant Secretary, Herbert H. ID. Pierce. has been appointed minis ter to Norway as it was intimated some time ago that he would be. He will be succeeded in the department by Charles Denby. son of the late minister to China, and until recently chief clerk of the department in, sue ceSsion to Colonel Michael, who was sent to Calcutta as consul general, more to get him out of the department gracefully than for any desire to pro mote him. David Thompson, the for mer ambassador to Brazil. will go to Mexico as the ambassador. there, and Lloyd C. Griscom. who won consider able commendation as minister to la pan during the Russo-Jap war. will be raised to an ambassadOrship and succeed Thompson in Brazil. The post of minister to Japan, vacated by NIT Griscom, Is still open. The appoint ment of Mir Griscom Is popular as it is generally conceded that he did ex- ceIIent work in Tokio. and the presi- dent has been looking for a chance t0 acknowledge bis services by prOmot- ing him. Also the appointment of AIr Denly in the state department is looked upon as the expected. He has had the widest possible experience of far eastern politics. He was secretary Of legation in Pekin for years. was af terwands foreign advisor to Yuan shai KaL who succeeded u Huang Chang as the power in foreign affairs at fhe cOurt of the Empress Dowager It was understood when Mir Denby was made chief clerk some months SEQ that he would not remain in the position but that Secretary Root wanted to avail himself of his eXperi- snee as sn Orientalist and would pro mote him as coon as opportunity offered

A ROUGH SURGEON.
Captain Chubb Saves Chinese Life
 on the High Seas.

on the High Seas.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 26. = Captain Chubb of the steamship Satsuma, in port from Yokohama, is very much worried because owing to a rough but effective surgical operation he and the chief engineer performed on one of the Chinese sailors on the voyage he owns the sailor and all bis earthly posses sions, including wife and children in Hongkong. This sailor is Ling Hop.
 When the voyage was about half over Ling Hop became very sick. He lay down on the deck to die. The other Chinese did not interfere. It appears that in the province from which they all come there is custom that if a man saves another from death the res cued one and all his possessions and family become the property of the res cuer. None of the other Chinese want ed to assume Ling Hops family, so they all stolidly let him alone.
 { Captain Chubb took Ling Hop into bis cabin and called the chief engineer into consultation. They found on Ling Hops left side strange, unnatural growth as large as a baseball. This seemed to be what ailed Ling Hop. They decided to cut it of. Ling had neither objection nor consent.
 They had no surgical implements, but they found large pair of tin shears. These they sharpened as keen ly as they could Ling Hop was soak ed with carbolic acid solution for an antiseptic. and the captain shipped of the strange thing on Ling Hops side. It was then cauterized with soldering iron. The captain swears this is true.
 In week Ling Hop was as we'll as ever, but now considers himself Cap tain Chubb's property for life.
