kane which should be made the CAPT.
tai. 1t would facilitate business
along all lines.
Al Filson, editor of the Northern
Idaho News, summarized the situation
in this manner: al think a new state
would be a fine thing for northern
Idaho, but fear it cannot be realized.
The interests of northern Idaho are
not identical with those Of southern
Idaho. Theirs is a sage brush coun-
try. The Eve northern counties Of
this state pay two-tiftbs of the taxes,
yet the other end Of the state gets the
approximations with the exception Of
what comes to Moscow. The present
situation works a hardship ON US. II
Spokane should be made the capital
of a new state, We could have a more
satisfactory state government.
E. w. Sims, druggis, put 1t in this
way: al am in favor Of such move
ment. The physical geography of this
end of the state and OF eastern Wash
ington Is such that it would be a con-
whence to very one living in this ter
ritory to have a new state organized.
Some available place could be cho sci
for a capital afterward.
W.T.. whitaker, president Of the
Traders bank, said: at is very in
convenient for US TO go to the State
capital. Geographically, we belong
TO eastern Washington. A new state
such as suggested would constitute
one Of the best In the Union, both
In respect to diversified industries and
natural wealth. The people In the
south end Of the state think that
Lewiston Is ON the British line. We
net no appropriations, though the nve
northern counts pay tWo-hfths OF the
taxes paid by the 81 counties in the
state Il will take time to 6rinE
about this protest -

Of the proposed new state would be
a vast benefit to the people Of this Sec
tion. 1 am glad that this question
Is being agitated and hope to sss il
continue until the new state becomes

3. y. Begga, merchant: 'sOur
business dealings are with Spokane.
We have no commercial relations
with southern Idaho and probably
never will have, because Of the nature
Of barriers separating Us. Our wants
md necessities are different from The
needs Of the south and the extroms
vest We stand with Spokane aud
the Inland Empire In tbs GlRht for
better freight ratsS. Let us solve this
question BY getting together In this
matter"
r. 8. McCrea, ex probate judge:
II believe the move = good one and
hope IL may be successful. The natur-
al resources and interests Of the pro-
posed new state are identical, while
southern Idaho and western wnmhInR-
ton usually oppose what We want In
legislation, their interests being
different. To send Juvenile offenders

STATE DEFICIENCY
REACHES $lO7,55S.3S
Peoples Money Freely Spent by
CuStOdianS

Boise. Idaho, Jan. 23.-The Gus
tomaly deliberatiVe atmosphere Of the
senate was disturbed yesterday by a
sharp passage over q report by the
state auditor in response to a resOlu.
tiOn Of that body asking for a state
ment of deficiency warrants issued.
The communication from the audi
tor comprised a complete list Of all
deficiency warrants. The list totals
$1O7, sos. 38, and represents all the
deficiency warrants outstanding to
date. Macbeth of Custer moved that
the secretary be directed to have 100
copies Of the list printed and placed
ON the desks Of the senators.
Nugent offered a substitute to refer
the whole matter TO the finance COM
mittee. Macbeth declared that it
looked as II the majority would like
to cover the matter up if possible by
placing it in the hands OF commit
tee.
Hart said that there was nothing in
the world TO prevent the senator from
Custer, or any other senator, or In
fact, anybody from making the fullest
investigation of deficiency warrants
issued. and charged Macbeth with in
sitsing on his demands being granted
for the sole purpose of political effect.
McCutcheon called attention to the
fact that while Macbeth wanted copies
Of the list printed, he had also found
fault with it because he said it left
off a vital point, namely, the purpose
for which the warrants we're drawn.
He said there was no OCCASION for ex-
element. Macbeth then explained
that he had understood the report Of
the auditor was to have contained q
statement of what each warrant was
issued for.
Butler said he was opposed to the
deficiency warrant business, root and
branch, but believed it was better to
refer the matter to the committee
having jurisdiction. The substitute
motion carried Is TO 6.

the murder Of Ex-Governor Steuneberg

Old Maids Scored a Hit.

The Old Maids, in their convention at
the Opera House Thursday evening of
last week presented as unique and pleas

here this fall. The ladies were attired
in relics of former splendor hong since
relegated to the attic and brought out
for the occasion Their actions in con-
vention, their speeches, debates and
songs were along the line of the familiar
earicatures of the disappointed-in-love
female so often seen in the comic papers
and were well carried out, so we'll that If
any of the horrid men had dared to say
or do such things, the ladies of Newport
would have been too indignant for ex-
preston. A list of the eligible bachelors
of Newport was read, with comments on
their characteristics and revealed the
fact that they were sorry lot, but the
ladies expressed their willingness to put
up with them. Begging the pardon of
the ladies, the hit of the evening was
made by Herbert J. Anderson, attired
in female costume and introduced as a
prima donna imported from Hardscrab-
BILE, who sang several selections, much
to the pleasure of the audience. Mr..
Anderson had the crowd guessing
as to his identity, and not until his exit
revealed the fact that he was not accns-
toned to handling skirts were many
aware that he was not lady. Owing
to the inclement weather there was not
large crowd in attendance, but all who
were there were much pleased with the
ent ntertainment.
