Boise, Idaho, Jan. q. 1907. If
the legislature continues along the
lines 1t has started out the indica-
tions are that the Ninth session will
he the best In the history of the
state. There has been large num-
Der OF bills introduced in both the
upper and lower house which have
much merit II they can be enacted
into law. OF course there is where
the test comes. Some OF the bills
should be passed by all means, but
ahen they go on their passage, it
will no doubt be found that they will
conflict with some interest, corporate
or otherwise, and possibly they will
be amended to death. This is the
,sual procedure adopted, where a
member does not care to come out In
the open. The indications are, how
ever, that the elements back of the
speaker of the house will not attempt
to stille legislation In the committee
or on the floor as was the case two
years ago. At that session Speaker
Hunt called a member to the chair
and he got down on the floor and
made a personal fight against the
change Of venue bill, and worked in
secret against the board OF health
bill, His antagonizing against these
bills was effective, because they were
botn defeated.

steel rails is of moderate proportions.
Demand for structural material is only
fair, though some large orders are
said to be pending. An impression
prevails that orders for cast-iron pipe
will be reduced owing to the high level
of prices. Sheet as well as plate pro-
ducers are in a position to make better
deliveries. Demand for tin plate is not
quite so active. but the mills are very

Pay Old ST. MaryS Coach $3.50 a
Month to Play First Sack and Coach

st. Marys. Kan, June Sc. c..
Quigley, coach of the local athletic
association, has signed a contract to
manage the Leavenworth Western as
ISOLATION team and left to take charge
of the team last evening. Rohr Of
Leavenworth has been trying for over
a month to land Quigley. but owing to
the fact that other men have had like
aspirations and have been competing
closely for him, he was unable to get
his name to any agreement until last
night. According to the agreement,
Quigley is to play and manage the
team and though it took a $3.50 a
month offer to get his name, his addi-
ton to the team will probably be
worth double the price to the Leaven-
worth owners.
He is a fast. heady player. a good
sure hitter, and with him on the first
sack for Leavenworth, the infieId will
be strong one. He is a hard, ener-
getic worker, while his abilities as a
manager are known throughout the
state. The Portland Pacific Coast
league team was Leavenworth's
strongest competitor for Quigley's ser
vices.
