Washington. Unfortunately this net
was vetoed by President Cleveland,
greatly 70 the disappointment of the
people Of the Inland Empire.
This agitation was kept alive by the
fact that Idaho is cut ia two by a Wild
range Of mountains. which have inter
posed an impossible barrier between the
two populous sections of the State.
There Is absolutely no railroad conuec-
ton over those mountains and only the
Crudest of trails and wagon roads. The
people of northern Idaho, u reach their
capital are under the necessity of lCav-
ing their State. going into the State
of Washington, passing thence into
oregon thence out Of Oregon into
southern Idaho, and travelling several
hundred miles over the desert region
TO Boise. This entails an enormous
UOsta OF time and expense upon the
people OF northern Idaho and the bust
ness interests Of southern Idaho.
The conviction has deeperCd IN tho
minds OF close observers on both sides
OF the mountains that this conflict of
political interests is a disturbing iunu-

relations OF the sections. and that a re-
adjustment OF State lines as nature ana

FEAR OF BRIGAND
PREVENTS TRIAL

ROME, April 22-Fear of a brigand
has quashed his trial at a Sicilian as
size court. The famous brigand Failia
should have been tried Gn his absence)
for killing two gendarmes, and also for
contempt of court. But because the
brigand was still at large, the jury was
afraid even to discuss the case.
The jurymen petitioned the president
OF the court to adjourn the case, be-
cause they were in fear. as property
owners and fathers Of families, while
Failla was at large. If he was captured
they offered to give proof Of their cour-
age and independence
From this predicament the president
invented the Illness OF a judge, who was
really in perfect health, and adjourned
the case indefinitely.
This was in December, 1905, and
Failla has since remained uncaptured
and untried- Last December the Sicilian
law authorities requested the Italian
supreme court to have the case tried
elsewhere, and il has now been decided
to bring It to Reggie, Calabria.

have called Lincoln, and suggests the

Cutting Of Northern Oregon.
''The then Territory of Oregon ex-
tended from the present California line
10 the Canadian boundary, and 1t was
found that the people living north Of
the Columbia river were too remote
from the capital. which was at Salem,
in southern Oregon
This led to agitation in the early
ffties for cutting of what was then
northern Oregon and the creation OF
the Territory OF Washington.
Congress in 1853 cut of Washington
from Oregon. The southern boundary
of Washington was the Columbia river
to Walla and thence east TO the Rocky
mountains, thus including northern Ida-
no ana a part or Montana. AT It's or
ganization its population was only 5,sto-
OF this population only q few hundred

necessary TIA they should be attached
to some political organization and Olym-
pia was at that time more natural
capital for these few hundred than
some points east of the Rocky noun
tains would have been.
Swarm of Gold Seekers.
But with the discovery OF gold IN
northern Idaho came a remarkable
change Of conditions. Twenty or thirty
thousand gold seekers swarmed into
northern Idaho. AT that time the rop-
ulation of eastern washington was
greater than that Of western Washing
ton. These miners felt the necessity Of
a better form OF government, and on
their petition the Territory of Idaho
was created In 1853 by Congress. It m
cluded all Of the present state OF Idaho,
all of the present State OF Montana, and
the northern three-nfths OF the present
State OF Wyoming.
The first capital was located at Lew
iston and remained there three or four
years, when rich gold discoveries in
southern Idaho brought about the re-
