Both Houses select Onleers and are Ready
for Work.
Boise, Idaho, Jan. 5.-The eighth
general assembly Of the Idaho legis
lature convened at the capitol build
ing at noon Monday. After the
formal opening, both branches ad-
journed until Tuesday morning at 10
O'Clock.
Simultaneous with the meeting of
the members OF the legislature the
newly elected state officers were
sworn In and at once entered upon
the discharge OF their duties.
There was but very little ceremony
attending either the meeting of the
legislature or the swearing In Of the
state officers. The proceedings were
as simple as possible, being devoid Of
any pomp or display. The hall Of
the house Of representatives, where
the oath was administered II the state
officers, was we'll filled by spectators.
But il any of those who we're present
expected to witness anything spec
tacular they were sadly disappointed.
Governor Gooding was escorted up
the aisle, wearing a sack coat aud In
every way appeared as II he was at
tending some business meeting.
/ The members Of the house spent a
large portion Of Wednesday In caucus
over attaches, completing the list
with the exception of chief clerk
The filling Of this position was
practically left with Speaker Hunt.
Candidates for the various offices
selected By the caucus were elected
by the house. In both houses rules
were adopted. These are the rules OF
the seventh session, with some minor
changes. In the senate a dispute
over the manner of preparing the
journal was settled by an agreement
that ii should be typerwitten in tbs
record book and read from that.
