Boise, Idaho, Nov. 12.-Legisla-
ton of far-reaching import will be
enacted by the legislature which win
convene in January, according to a
leading Republican who Is in pos
ition to know party plans, 1t Is
probable that the session will be q
memorable one because Of the enact.
ment Of several very important laws.
One of the most important ques-
tions with which the Legislature will
have to deal will he the considera-
tion of a primary election law. 1t IL
certain that bill providing for a
primary election law OF some kind
will be introduced, but there is a
vast difference of opinion AS TO what
extent the primary idea should be
carried into effect.
The Oregon law is favored by the
more radical, but many are Of the
opinion that it carries the primary
idea too far. The hitch will come
ON the manner OF electing United
States senators. On other points il
is thought that there will be little
disagreement. The bill will un.
duobtedly provide for the nomiation
of all state AMI county offices by
party primaries, held in the spring Of
the year of election.
The Oregon law provides that the
candidate for United States senator
receiving the greatest vote at the pri-
maries regardless of party, shall be
elected by the Legislature. The I'LL
nois law, which is generally regarded
as a model provides that the members
of the Legislature from each party
shall De pledged TO the candidate Of
their party receiving the greatest
number of votes at the primary.
The republican platform declares
for primary election law, but m .kes
no specifications as TO the kind to be
enacted. 1t Is probable that there
will be a great battle over the bill,
A bill will be introduced which
will provide a law requiring the reg
istration Of all births, marriages and
deaths In the state.
1t is possible that this bill may

Bakersfield, CAL, Nov. Is. Major
General William Rufas Shafter, u. S.
A., retired, died at 12:45 p. m. yes.
treday at the ranch of CAPTAIN w. H.
McKittrick, his So -in.law, 20 miles
south of this city, after an illness of
seven days, despite the best medical
attention in California.
While returning from the polls last
Tuesday he contracted severe chill
which augmented a slight indisposi-
tion and caused confinement To his
bed. DIR. L. Nj. Mitchell, the local
family physician was at once sum-
moned. The patient failed to i'm
prove, and DIR. A. Schafer was called
for consultation.
Major General William Rufus
Shafter, o. S. A, retired was born in
Michigan, October 16, 1885. He en-.
tered the military establishment on
August %, 1861, as first lieutenant
in the Seventh Michigan volunteer
infantry, and one year later was hon
orably mustered out. After leaving
the volunteer service at the close Of
the civil war General Shafter was ap,
pointed lieutenant colonel of the For
ty-first regular infantry. with which
Regiment he served during the recon
struetion period until 1869. On
April IA of that year he was assigned

on March 4, 1879, was promoted to
the rank Of colonel and assigned to

brigadier general May 3, 1897.
When war was declared with Spain

lected General Shafter TO command
the Fifth army corps, assigned to
make the first stand in Cuba and as.
sist the navy to capture the city Of

GAMBLE FOR MINISTERS

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 13.-Tacoma

wickedness, and her citizens are tot

OF the ministers.
''There is hell before them," said
Rev. L. A. Hutchinson in the Minis.

He declared lady had recently told
of attending a church meeting where
the women all afternoon discussed
the theater, the dance, the card par
ties and races.
Two women declared they had at
tended six card parties in one week.
They played for money and said they
paid their pastor with what they won
at cards. Another said she paid her
pastor with what she won at betting
at the races.
Some women said they got up at
O'Clock i'm the morning to get their
work done so they could go to card
parties in the afternoon.

Moscow, Idaho, Nov. l3.-Judge
Beatty yesterday overruled the de-
murrer in the Rcbnett subornation Of
perjury case in the federal court, and
the Lewiston man was ordered to en-
ter second plea to the indictment.
He said he was mot guilty" 1t is
understood that his case is the first
of the alleged land fraud cases to be
tried. 1t will be taken up as soon
as the grand jury and trial jury is
impaneled.
The government looks upon Judge
Beatty's decision as signal victory.
On the other hand the defense de-
clares that the point of what consti-
tutes subornation of perjury in the
filling out of an application blank
for stone and timber claim, will be
taken to the higher courts with the
firm belief that Judge Beatty will be
reversed. In that event, it will
mean the dismissing not only of the
Robnett subornation case, but SINH
lar actions against other men now
under indictment
The demurrer was based on the
ground that the offense charged was
committed against the rules and reg
ulations of the secretary of the inter,
Tor, and not against the federal stat
utes. Robnett is charged with hav.
ing procured B. H. Ferris and George
w. Robinson of Lewiston to swear
they had personally gone on certain
tracts of government timber land, on
which they fled application under
the stone and timber act, whereas
they had not seen the land.
The court held that while decisions
on the point raised in the demurrer
are not uniform and had been rem
dered by different courts, it seemed
to be the preponderance of opinion
that cases of this kind, where con-
gress had delegated the power to pre-
scribe rules and regulations, for the
carrying out of statute, the rules
prescribed, if not in contravention
of the act itself, had the force and

Increase in Public Offices.
Though not contained in Mr.. Nc.
IGraw's address, it has been frequently
charged that increase in Offices has
been made by Republican administra,
tons. BY reference to Governor Mac
ICorkle's last message, 1t will be seen
that he recommended the creation OF
line Office Of insurance commissioner
and of game and fish warden. The
latter office was created; the former,
which in my judgment is much need
ed, has not yet been established.

Iated except that OF State tax commits

bers, at least, by the adjustment OF
the advisory board Of pardons and the
substitution Of pardon attorney
where two officers were done away
with and one substituted; SO the &C.
count stands even. The State tax
commissioner has not only indicated
the creation Of his Office by the en-
lorcement of the new laws, but he has
indicated It in one single instance: In
1903 the amount Of inheritance tax
collected was $1,S36; in 1904, $G,443;
lin 1905, the first year Of the tax COM
missioner, $1O,449; in 1906, the second
year of the tax commissioner. It is
$2G052. This one item has Increased
in two years sufficient to pay the cost
Of his Office for three or four years.
Deposits in Banks.
Perhaps in no other way can the
progress, development and prosperity
Of the State and of the people be BET

money on deposit in banks. In Gov
ernor MacCorkle's last message (pages

shown that the amount of deposits In
the State banking institutions and ma
tional banks in West Virginia, October
I, 1896, was $17,S1O.S31. The amount
of these deposits up to September 80,
1906 as reported to me by the State
bank examiner, is $79,722,223, or an
Increase OF 400 per cent. in the ten
years. Inasmuch as it was prophesied

leaders, in 1904, that the new tax laws
would drive money out of the State and
