ane and we sometimes get a little en-
vious and have just little feeling
that were being out bid in the race
for population, but government stat
istics show that such is not the case.
The census bureau has put out official
figures and estimates which show that
there is not another western state or
territory that is having the rapid
growth in population that Idaho is
now having, and there are only four
others that exceed this state. Those
four are Indian Territory with a per
centage Of q of increase, North Da-
kota with 37.S, Oklahoma with 49,
and Alaska with 24.s per cent as
against Idaho's 22.6 per cent cover
ing period of the last five years.
Not only in percentage does Idaho
show we'll but also in actual numbers
of increase. The government figures
show that Idaho is receiving each year
an average of 1922 people, while
Oregon with its much greater settled
population is only increasing its
growth by an annual average of TO-
eco, or little less than 5000 per
/ year more than Idaho. Montana has
less percentage Of increase but shows
total in numbers Of 10, 040, about
the same as Oregon. Washington,
with more than three times the popu.
lation of Idaho, is receiving only
about twice the average increase in
population, receiving each year al
increase Of TO- Utah is increasing
ony at the yearly rate of 6,597 in
spite Of its greater population, il
percentage Of increase being half tina
which Idaho shows. Wyoming is tho
slowest OF the western states, showing
an increase each year Of only 1857
Arizona comes next with only 3,49(
and New Mexico with $500. Ne
vada is not given because the onl!
material increae in that state has beer
within the last year, not long enough
time upon which to base an average.
These figures show that Idaho IL
moving forward in a most flatterinl
manner aud the indications are thai
the average increase for the next Nv
years will be greatly in excess Of tina
of the last Ave years so that by TIN

San Francisco, April 29.-Late
last night 1t was learned that Mayor
Schmltz has weakened, and In the
hope Of securing immunity from
punishment, or at least concession
in the Wav of reduced sentence, has
made a partial confession OF guilt OF
the charges Of graft. Detective Burns
admitted that Schmitz had made a
statement which sheds new and i'm
portant light on the operations Of the
grafters, Int would not give out the
details. HE said:
''Schmi,k has made a partial con
fession In relation to the trolley deal
and other matters. The negotiations
for this statement was carried on with
us by a high official Of the city.
Schmitz has admitted that previous
to the granting of the trolley
franchises he and other officials
reached an understanding with
President Calhoun of the United rail-
ways."
Burns would not admit that the
prosecution had promised Schultz i'm
munity, but 1t is thought that some
important concessions we're granted,
or he would never have broken down.
Calhoun was seen late last might
and told that Schmitz had made &
partial confession, involving him.
He said: 81 don't care what comics

The local Land office received

The railroad company contested the
mineral classification and the case
was given a hearing In December,
1902, October, 1904, aud October,
1905. The frat hearing vas set aside
IS Illegal owing to some defect In
the publication OF notices and the 10.
cal land Office In the second and third
hearings held that a large portion Of
the land was non mineral because II
was we'll tImbsFei IN places and also
az for agricultural purposes IN
others; also because no attempt Ai
prospecting had been made. when
the appeal was taken, the government
sent A. J. Collier and 3. n. Good
win to examine the land. They re-
ported that the entire tract was sim'
liar to the Occur d'Alene mining die
