Mrs. Dubois Complains

Mrs. Dubois delivered . lecture
10 Washington last Tuesday iD
which she criticised the Presi-
dents attitude on the Mormon
question, and said that when the
Mothers Congress called on the
President at their last meeting
and told him Of the conditions in
idaho and Utah, Of how Mormon
ism was taught to Mormon and
Gentle children in the public
schools and Of other growing
evils, be SIMPLY said: lyon don't
know what you are talking about. I"
But Mrs. Dubois is not willing to
take President Roosevelt at his
word nor the voters Of Idaho
when they have spoken.

Condition on the Isthmus

A remarkable statement has
been made by John F. Stevens,
chief engineer Of the Panama ca
nal. 1t is to the effect that there
has not been a death on the
isthmus since he went there last
July. He must hsve been mis-
quoted, It being probable, he
said. Or meant. that no death had
resulted from yellow fever or
other preventable disease during
that period.
There are 1900 men en-
ployed on the work, and, as
Stunning that the engineer meant
til show there had been no deaths
from the diseases that are usually
dreaded, the showing is one that
n gratifying. Our government
arowsdly devoted its principal
energies for \ long time TO the

The Speakership

The newspapers OF the state
are not saying much about who is
to be speaker Of the house probab-
ly for the reason that they do not
know; neither are they expressing
preferences very freely.
"A fortnight ago the contest
promised to be between Hunt Of
Bannock and Corners Of the
north, but later developments in
dictate that Hunt has less support
than was at first supposed, and
the main forces seem to be divid-
ed between Corners, and Nc
Cracker Of Bingham, with very
good prospects for the latter. II
IL not generally known how the
administration forces stand, but a
careful survey Of the situation
leads US to believe they would
like if possible to keep out Of it
and let the members and the con-
stituency point out the man and
elect him.

Old Resident Leaves

w. d. Trego and family will leave
Monday for Glieschen, in the province
Of Alberta, Canada. expecting to remain
there permanently.
Mr.. Trego came here from Iowa in
1885 and has been active in developing
the agricultural resources Of this local
ity. In 1896 he married Miss Alice
Howard whose people we're among the
early settlers who came here from Chico,
California.
Mr.. Trego has divided his time be-
tween farming and dealing in farm i'm
plements and has acquired considerable
property, part Of which he still holds,
and his interests here will bring him
back at intervals.
He was instrumental in getting the
sugar factory established here, and sees
great possibilities for the sugar beet IN

Congressman French introduced
q bill In the House during the
last session Of Congress providing
for an appropriation Of $4,000
for q fish hatchery in Idaho. He
received favorable report on his
bill from the Committee on Mer-
chant Marine and Fisheries, to
which it was referred, but the
rush of work in Congress during
the last session on account Of the
many important matters prevented
the bill from being considered.
However as this is a part Of the
same session Of Congress, the
previous favorable report secured
by Mr.. French is still before the
House, and it will not be neces-
sary for another bill to be intro
duced or another report secured
to entitle the bill to consldera-
tion at this session of Congress.
Mr.. French will make an effort
to have bis bill passed soon after
the holidays, and says he has
good hopes of succeeding. The
people Of Idaho are greatly inter-
ested in stocking the rivers,
streams and lakes Of the State
with fish, says Mr.. French, and
he has received q great many re-
quests for fish with which to stock
these streams. In all cases they have
been secured for the persons APP
plying for them. Mr.. French
has been notified BY the Fish
Commission that he can have all
the fish desired NTH which to
stock, and as the commission has
all kinds Of fish, persons applying
can secure the kind Of stock that
is best for the particular lake or
stream to be stocked.

deaths there during the period
when the French were attempting
to dig the canal was appalling.
Men died like flies, thousands
being buried along the line Of the
proposed waterway. Ii
Confronted with such . record,
our government determined i
should not be duplicated under
American control, and elaborate
plans were devised for rendering
the conditions more healthful.
The report made ~ Mr.. Steyens
shows the precautions taken have
been effective and that the men
employed on the great under
taking are no more exposed to
disease than if they were in Z
locality naturally healthful. n.
deed, conditions on the isthmni
are probably far better than those
under which most Of the workmen
lived ct home, for nothing has been
overlooked that could contribute
to protection from disease.

II will be remembered that
during the last session Of Congress-,
Representative French introduced
and secured the passage Of q
bill in the House providing for
the opening Of the Occur D'Alene
Indian Reservation. The prelim-
mary work incident to the open
ing Of the reservation is now in
full swing, and is being pushed %
rapidly as is consistent with the
important preliminary arrange
ments that must be made. Mr..
French has again taken the matter
up and is making an effort to
have all laws relating to the res
ervation in such shape that there
will be none Of the unfortunate
results which have been so preva-
lent ID the Nez Perez Reservation
since it was opened TO settlement.
In that reservation the surveys
we're such that persons who took
land on the edges Of the reserva-
ton under tie belief that they.
were getting 100 acres later found
that they had in some case as
much as 80 or 40 acres less.
The survey Of the Occur d.
Alene Reservation, which is now
complete, leaves q ragged edge"
on the north boundary, and some
Of the settlers on land adjacent to
this ragged edge find them
selves short in the amount Of land
which they believed was theirs.
One case has just come to Con-
gresham French's attention where
the patent to the homes trader
gave him 157 acres, while if the
new survey line is accepted as
true, his farm will be cut to 124
acres. Mr.. French proposes to
correct this evil in SO far as it
applies to this reservation, by d
special bill which he has intro
duced. If the bill passes the
land adjoiding the reservation
will retain the number Of acres
set out in the patent given, and
those who later 60 on the reser-
walton and take land will have
notice Of the exact amount Of
land they are getting.

Result Of Dry Farming

Distracted by the news of the San
Francisco disaster, and crazed with fear
lest their friends and relatives be
among those who perished in the mass
of ruin and flames, hundreds of resi-
dents of Los Angeles thronged the
downt own streets yesterday begging
for news and fighting their way toward
the ticket offices to secure transporta-
tion to the scene of disaster.
The dark pail of ruin and desolation
that settled like some monster of evil
upon the neighbor city of the north
was fully appreciated by it's southern
cousins and men, women and children
alike, spoke with frightened voices of
the awful catastrophe. Crowds gath

clamoring for news; the telegraph and
telephone offices were fairly mobbed by
those whose loved ones were in the
northern city.
The excitement was intense and
when the rumor was started that the
shocks from the earthquake were be-
ing felt on the southern side Of the Te-
hachapi pass, some of the people became
panic stricken.
Beg for Messages
But the saddest scenes of all were
at the telegraph offices. Mothers. with
tear-stained faces begged for some
message from their children.
Early during the morning man
dashed into the office of the Western
Union. He was frantic with grief and
his clothes were awry. His features
were drawn with his suffering and he
leaned far over the counter and called
to one of the men.
For Gods sake get a wire through
to the st. Francis for me-" he begged.
"NIy wife and children are there and
if I do not get word from them shall
go crazy. Just one little word" he
pleaded.
But the man in charge sadly and
simply nodded toward the stack of tel
egrams which had flooded the Office
and which were then awaiting trans
mission to the north.
Then the man became desperate. He

one hundred nurses.
The engine that was to pull the spe-
cial was in readiness at the. hour ap-
pointed. but by that time another post
ponement had been agreed on. The
time for departure was set at o'clock.
Doctors from all over the city vol
unteered their services so fast that
by o'clock in the afternoon DR.. Quint
had list of nearly $50 who wished to
accompany the special train and do
what they could to relieve the injured
in the northern cities.
Before the time for departure arrived
cool heads had concluded that isasmuch
as San Francisco and Oakland had been
telegraphed to for information as to
what was needed it would be better
to hold the train until some advice
was received from these places The
order for the train was countermanded
but the doctors and nurses were asked
to hold themselves in readiness for a
summons at any time.
Mayor Tenders Aid
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning
Mayor McAleer sent message of SYM
pathy and offering assistance to Mayor
Schmitz of San Francisco, but no re-
ply was received.

reeted to either Mayor Schmitz, the
mayor of Oakland or any official in

lows:
Heartfelt sympathy of Los Angeles
is extended to the unfortunate northern
districts. We stand ready to render
any assistance possible. VIII send a
special train with doctors and nurses
Immediately on request or furnish any
other assistance necessary. Please ad-
wise Immediately"
About o'clck the following answer
to this message was received rom the
mayor of Oakland:
Mayor McAleer: Telegram received.
Many thanks for proffered assistance.
Same is fully appreciated. Fortunately
not necessary as damage in Oakland is
not as great as reported and very few
injured.
FRANK K. MOTT. Mayor"
Suggests Auto Line
While telegraphing to the northern
officials Mayor McAleer held a long
distance telephone communication with
Mayor Lyons of Fresno and suggested
tc him that he establish a line of auto
mobiles between that city and Oakland
until the telegraph wires, which were
not working north Of Fresno, in order
that communication might be estab-
lished in this manner. A little later in
the afternoon Mayor Lyons telephoned
that such a line had been established
and that he had sent several automo-
biles to Oakland. In this way some of
the dispatches received in Los Angeles
yesterday were forwarded. This was
the manner in which Mayor Mott of
Oakland communicated with Mayor Nc
Aleer.
