week, all that was necessary for re-
publican to secure an appointment of
clerkship of the various COMMITTEES
was to show that he or she did good
work for the party last fall and hast
he recommendation Of member.
Since all the committees had been
provided with stenographers or
clerks, candidate bobbed up from
Blackfoot who must Le provided for.
The result was the house voted to
give the speaker private stenogra-
pher. Bishop Hunt selected the
lady in waiting' for this position.
Miss Lucretta Walker, for the..posi.
tion. The only position now open
for appointment is jester to enter
tain the house and keep Its members
In good humor. These extra Injuries
cost the state a nice little sum, but
so long as the taxpayers.foot the bills
it must be all right. A majority of
the people voted for law and ordert?)
OF the Gooding stripe and they are
getting it with vengeance.
AS time passes it becomes more
evident that 1t would bankrupt
Rockefeller to furnish oil to pour
upon the troubled waters of the
house. The bitterness cropped out
when Abbott proposed to lay the
anti-pass bill on the table. The mo-
tion lost on oral vote, but with Bal
lantyne's motion to indefinitely post
p0ne, the motion carried by Is to %.
The latter number represents the
proportion of the reform forces In
the house. The pass bill buried was
the bill by Cunningham, which pro-
vided that county and state officials
should be issued passes by the rail-
roads. The anit.pass bill was freely
discussed pro and con, and vigorously
opposed and supported. The opposi
tion to the bill claimed that 1t would
effect the farmer and stock raiser as
well as the Standard Oil trust or any
other trust which did business in the
state. Some bitterness was evidence
ed when one of the insurrectos
quoted from the republican platform
in support Of pledge for antitrust
legislation. Lovesy made an attack
upon Cavanah, OF Ada county, by
asking, "what right be had to quote
republican platforms since he had
joined the democratic party?"
In the discussion OF the anti-tr ust
bill, Abbott seemed to have lapse
of memory. He opposed the bill, but
said ii there we're single trust In
the state that the bill could reach.
he would favor it. but there was
none. Abbott evidently had forgot
ten that the lumber trust, the Stand
ard Oil trust and every other trust,
which has its headquarters In New
Jersey, were doing business In the
state and we're amenable to the state
laws. In the disussion of the bill 1t
was pointed out that the law was
similar to the Ohio trust law and In
that state they had reached the
trust, and Idaho would be given the
same power under the measure II the
bill became law. When the bill
came to a vote, the insurrectos voted
with the democrats which favored
the passage of the bill by 20 to 10.

He who matched wits with the au

poet was so awkward a horseman that
his riding often attracted comment of
anything but a complimentary nature.
One day he was riding along the turn
pike road in the county of Durham

plicants for positions as secret ser
vice detectives.
Numerous young ladies, and some
older ones, of different sizes and fig

auction with very little hope. The
Whistler and the Sargent were sold,

to start the bidding himself, and this
he did. Only one man bid against him.
