SPECIAL ORDER FOR WOMAN.
Land Board Tries to Straighten Out
TangIe of a Claim.

OLYMPIA, Oct ITO straighten
with a long French name and two at
torneys, the state board of land COM
missioners has had to make special
order. The difficulty arises over the
desire of the woman to purchase
shore lands on Lake Union, and the or
der made does not entirely satisfy her,
as a rival claimant is contes.ing her
preference right of purchase.
When the rush was on for filing ap-
plications for the Lake Union shore
lands the state land office, received
from Attorney H. D. Moore, of Seat
tie, an application on behalf of Theresa
de PArcherie to purchase certain land.
This was application number 473.
About the same time application was
received from F. c. Clark, attorney-in in
fact for Theresa Blebois, to purchase
the same lot. This was applica ton
No 661.
In checking up the applications it
was discovered that both these appli-
cants claimed to own the same upland
property as basis for the preference
right to buy the shore lands. Further
correspondence developed other facts.
The state board has, therefore. issued
an order finding that Theresa Blebois
and Theresa de FArcherie are one and
the same person, her full name being
Theresa Blebois de FArcherie. Appli-
cation No. 661 has, therefore, been
cancelled.

for seven yards.
Spokane's speed failed to show up.
The Missionaries played them off their
feet and after nearly every down"
man in a gray sweater would be
seen lying on the field and the cry of
time OUT delayed the game. Spokane
played hard when they played, but
their wind was either poor or their
physical condition was off. In punting,
Spokane had a trif1e the best of it.
Their kicks were long and high and
their ends got down under in good
shape Whitman was Fat weak at this
end of The game either. Brubaker and
Philbrook getting some good ones off.
Just what this victory means is hard
to say. While this same team which
Whitman yesterday beat so badly is
the same one which outplayed the U.
of l. a week ago, it is hard to believe
that Moscow will not dish up better
game than the one yesterday. Consld-
ering, though, that Whitman has two
big men out of the game, who will be
in later in the season, it looks good
for Missionary prospects this fall. Per-
niger will bring up the weight OF the
team materially, as will also captain

EHs .TaE LEGISLATURE.

:. Idaho legislative session ended
last evening. Strewn along It's path
way are the wrecks of many party
pledges made in the platform for the
purpose Of securing votes at election
time. Prominent among these are
the direct primary law, railway com
sInssiOn bill, antipass law and others
OF minor Importance. As predicted
ny the Press, the Mormon members
Noontroiled legislation and as result
the test oath bill is dead, the vital
statistic law was killed and all leg
islation obnoxious to old Joe Smith
was quietly put to rest. As stated
by Braney O'Neil, one OF the leading
'repu blicans Of the north:
''Mary had a little lamb,
Its 6eoce was white as snow;
Anything the Mormons want
They get in Idaho"
The legislature Is conspicuous for
what 1t did not accomplish, rather
than for any legislation passed that
will be Of benefit TO the people. The
appropriations we're boosted above the
million dollar mark. The Atlanta
wagon road came in for the usual
appropriation and many bills Of pure
ly local benefit for wagon roads and
bridges, we're passed by combina
ton Of Interests. The salaries Of
most state officials we're raised from
% TO so per cent and II seemed to bt
no etRsrt to spend the money Of tbs
people. The session will be known
as the most reckless and protiigate IL
