AppoRrIoNs FAR AHEAD.

Anent the statement published yes
terday regarding the condition that
the engineers of the reclamation serv-
ice are not losing sight of opportun-
ities of extending the work of rec
lamation, and many projects have
been investigated and will be taken
under consideration as soon as funds
for their construction become avail
able. The secretary of the interior
has already apportioned the fund for
years in advance and although the
receipts from sales of public lands
may be larger than anticipated by
the general land office, yet this in
crease Is more than Offset by the re-
cent advance in the price of labor and
materials, and the diminished ef-
ficiency of ordinary labor. The rigid
enforcement of the eight-hour law
has also contributed to the general in
crease in cost to the contractor.
Another factor to be considered in
the allotment of the reclamation
fund is the fact there has already
passed the senate and been favorably
reported to the house, a bill taking
s1.O00.000 out of the reclamation
fund for drainage in North Dakota,
and there are number of other bills
pending which it is asserted, have fair
chance of passage If the first bill gets
through congress. Under these cir
cumstances the department may not
consider it advisable to enter upon
any further projects until the prob
able elimination of the reclamation
fund is made known
Several of the % projects now un-
der way. as well as numerous others
which will be taken up Immediately
funds become available. will receive a
serious setback if the reclamation
fund is diverted to other purposes.
Citizens of the West are even now i'm
patient that the department is fore
ed to delay in taking up the projects
that would make productive millions
of acres of arid lands and afford hom-
es for multitude of settlers.

MIR. RICE WILL ENTERTAIN.

On Friday evening September 7th
at the Presbyterian church, Phidelah
Rice, the dramatic reader and enter
tainer, will give reading interpreta-
tion of Shakespeare's great play,
THE Tanning of the Shrew." The
young gentleman will delineate every
character of the drama consequent
ly the entertainment will really equal
production of the play by a first
class company. 1t is difficult
undertaking and piece of work that
only an lmpersonator of the highest
ability would assume to perform.
Tickets are now selling at Vor-
beck's, the Fair and the c. d. Smith
Drug company store. Prices. fifty
cents for adults and 80 cents for
children.
This will probably be Mr. Rice's
last appearance In the city before re-
turning to Boston to take up his
work at the Leland Powers School
of Oratory.
OF course the popular reader will
be heard by large audience.

WILL CHALLENGE
MORMON VOTERS
Democrats May Apply Constitu-
tiOnaI Test

Boise, Idaho, Oct. 25.--It Is stated
at the republican headquarters that
the democrats have planned to chal-
lenge all Mormon voters at the forth
coming election, the challenge to
serve as basis for contests late on.
These voters are to be challenged on
the constitutional qualification for
voting. The particular provision is
that which declares that no person
can vote who b a polygamist or who
counsels or encourages others to prac.
tice polygamy.
The statutory oath 20 be taken on
registration now contains no refer
ence TO polygamy, 1t having been
eliminated few years after the issu-
Ance OF the Mormon manifesto an.
nouncing abandonment Of the prac-
tice and teaching Of polygamy.
The proposed challenge Ii based ON
the theory that recent declarations
and practices by certain officials In
the church are tantamonnt TO abroga-
tion of the manifesto.
The republican managers became
aware Of the plan some time ago. 1t
Is their understanding that the cleo.
tion OF senator that will be contest.
cd ON that ground, and further the
election Of governor may be con-
tested II 1t should be shown that the
majority had been secured by the
Mormon votes cast for him.
The committee has secured legal
advice on the subject. 1t Is advised
that there Is no oath which persons
can be obliged 20 take on being chal-
lenged at the polls excepting the
electors oath which contains no ref
erence 70 the Mormons or their alleg-
cd practices or teachings. II Is be-
lieved at republican headquarters
that the other side hopes to keep vot.
ers away from the polls. What the
effect Of such contest as Is said TO
be proposed would be Is probIemati.
cal. Opinion differs considerably.
Some express the opinion that If It
could be proven that the church
teaches polygamy, Mormon ballots
would DO illegal but the general inn
preston among republicans Is that
no such ballots would be- disturbed
under the conditions OF voting In the
state for dozen years.

OPINION OF COOLING
Published by the Idaho States
man.

man.
Here Is the opinion which the
Boise Statesman expressed OF Frank
r. Gooding, June 2, 1904:
''Slnce this state was redeemed
from democratic rule by the election
Of a republican governor (Morrison)
and other state officials, the chair
man Of the state committee Good
ing) has been laboring increasingly
to break down that administration.
He is today going up and down the
state seeking to discredit it, and de-
feat the head Of the administration
In the coming convention.
If there hes been a CRATER with
some unholy scheme to put through,
which the governor could not en-.
dorse, the chairman OF the state com
mittee (Gooding) has been hand in
glove with him in lighting that off,
cial. He was up to his ears In the
fight In support OF the state treasu ry
graft and he has been scolding at
most everything the governor and his
associates have sought to do for the
state and its people.
Many OF the men whom he is now
relying upon to aid him In defeating
the denomination Of the governor are
those who, for selfish reasons, have
grievances against the latter. Others
with jobs arranged for the future,
which they could not PIT through
with thoroughly honest govern or,
are aiding him (Gooding) and he
seems to think them patriots. "
This same Gooding, whom the
Statesman denounced as being ''hand
in glove with grafters," is the man
who forced Robert Landson on the re-
publican ticket for secretary OF state,
saying at the Pooatello convention,
''he Is q man can work with.
Landson Is now accused of emhez.
element and Justification OF the re.
cords Of Washington county, Of which
he was assessor. The charge Is made
by republican officials Of that coun-
", not by Democrats. Evidently
Gooding Is still "hand in glove with
grafters, but the Statesman is sup
porting him because he gave it a
printing graft amounting to s11, I.
o5s.30 in nineteen months.

500 MAKES HIT IN
H0MESEEKER RATE
TAKES ADVANTAGE OF OLD LAW
TO SOAK COMPETITORS. ~
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Fall into Line, but Other Roads Find
They Are Barred by Operation Of
New Rate Law-How It Works.

Taking advantage Of the differences
! in conditions under the, old rate law
and the new, the 500 line made a
great hit this week by making the
| homeseekers' rates apply daily instead
Of weekly. The Great Northern and
| the Northern Pacific roads, following
ing the lead of the 500. These lines
stole a march on their competitors.
and for the next thirty days will have
practical monopoly of the home
seekers business in the northwest.
Under the old law the three roads
| filed tariffs with the interstate COM
would sell daily homeseekers' tickets
to the territory served by them, the
tickets to be placed on sale Aug. 20.
| The other lines were not notified Of the
| movement and nothing was said about
the change Of plans.
| They were surprised to learn that the
three roads were selling homeseekers
tickets daily. Some of them fastened
to meet the competition, but discov-
into effect and that under it's provi-
sSi!ons it would require thirty days no
tice to make q change in rates. The
pill was bitter, but one that the lines
had to swallow.
The action of the three lines seems
| to upset the homeseekers' business in
the northwest. Only last spring con-
daily rates, and it was finally agreed
| to make the rates weekly, and arrange
ments were made fixing the maximum
| fare. Under this agreement the roads
have operated until the present break
| away.
1t is expected that the rates will &C.
cure a heavy business while they are
effective, until Sept. 80. They will
have tendency to concentrate the
homeseekers along the lines of the 500,
Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
a. thing. that undoubtedly was not lost
sight of when the rates were quoted.
The daily rates are effective to the
entire territory Of the three roads
is, parts Of Minnesota north of Will
mar, North Dakota, Montana and the
| Canadian Pacific.

roads have agreed to- do away with
the nuisance at, once; also. that the
new law does not affect transporta-
tion between points within states, the

ing no control lover state traffic. These
two points allow a leeway, Of which
some of the roads are taking advan-.
tage. zs q
= Because the western lines failed to
agree as to their attitude toward the
land-agent business, trouble appears to
be threatening. Part Of the lines have
decided that until j an. l, 1907, they can
give land agents in charge Of bona
and other lines hold that they cannot.
AS a result there is a general mix-up
over the matter s5.'f'sa5
! On Tuesday land agent went into
