TEST OATH BILL
IN THE SENATE
MCBeth, Democratic Senator, In
PRODUCES Measure

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 26.-The house
session of the Idaho Legislature yes
terday witnessed the introduction of
the democratic bills for reenactment
OF the test oath. In the senate the
measure was offered by Macbeth and
in the house by Freehafer. The bill
proposes to reenact the test oath OF
1893, embracing the points covered
by the constitutional qualifications
for suffrage and makes a highly Inn
portant addition thereto.
The elector must swear he does not
practice, teach or encourage poly
gamy, that he does not belong to an
organization that teaches or enoour-
ages the practice OF polygamy, and,
further, that he Is no. . member Of
any organization which oouptenAnces
or condones the practice OF polygamy
or bigamy, or living In what is known
as patriarchial, plural or celestial
marriage by its priesthood or ruling
authorities, or by any member there
Of, or which sustains any member OF
its priesthood or ruling authorities,
or any other official thereof, In such
practice.
POLYGAMOUS APOSTLES.
1t will be seen that this last pFovls,
ion covers the case Of the sustaining
of polygamous apostles by semiannual
conferences Of the church, which has
been done regularly ever since the
question arose. The constitutional
provision is simply that q person can
not vote who belongs TO q church
which teaches or encourages poly
gamy, ETC., but this provision OF the
bill takes q wider sweep, intended x
cover the case as presented by thu
manner in which the people Of thu
church sustain apostles and other otti
cials who live in polygamy. The cd
dition is authorized by what is calleC
the 'Iittle joker" of the state con
stitution, which authorizes the legia
lature to provide any additions
qualifications for suffrage,
McCutcheon also introduced bill
for the electors' oath. IL follow
the constitutional provisions, except
ing that II leaves out reference /
"p atriarchal" and celestial" maj
riages.
The reference Of the two bills Il
the senate gave rise to a spirited dc
hate. Macbeth objected to the refer

Spokane, Wash, January 90. -
Railroad traffic through North Dakota
is reported to continue In bad shape,
on account of the terrific blizzard
that has been sweeping q vide stretch
of the country. No through trains
from the east reached Spokane yester.
day over the Great Northern. On the
Northern Pacific conditions we're
somewhat better and some of the de-
layed trains came In from the east.
The North Coast limited, due here at
GAS yesterday morning, did not ar
rive until after midnight and the
same train due here this morning Is
reported to be six hours late. Fol
lowing the limited last night we're de-
layed No. 3 and regular No. 3 from
the east, which cleared up ell OF the
regular trains from that direction.
Ii was not known last night when
the stormbonnd Great NOrteTn trains
from the east will begin 10 arrive IN
Spokane and the congestion Of pa
ssnger trains will probably be ~ great
as during the storm near Cutbank'
Mcnt., 10 days ago.
The storm center 10 between Lari-
more and Devils Lake, North Dako-
IA, and about 90 miles Of track h
practically blockAded. The blizzard
IL described as the worst the railroads
have ever had TO contend with and
the snow fighting apparatus Is pFacti
cally useless, as the tracks are covered
again with snow as fast as 1t can b
removed.
In some places the drifts are nearly
30 feet deep. In the section between
Larimore and Devils Lake there arr
said TO be 90 dead engines. Nc
through trains from the west hAvo ar
rived In st. Paul for several days.

open RESERVATION
IN COEUR D'ALENE
Will Cause a Big Rush of Land
Seekers to This City

A reliable report comes from WASH
inoton that the allOtments and open
inc of the Occur d'Alene Indian reser
vation will take place in this city.
The matter has been under considera-
tion by the Interior department for
soUe time and Tekoa, WASH, made
an effort to have the business trans
acted there by temporary removal
n the land Office records to that
place.
The land Office being located here
and the excellent facilities for reach
ing all parts of the reservation by
water and rail were shown to the de-
partment by our senators and repre-
sentative and the announcement was
made this morning that the business
would be transacted in Occur d'Alene.
This was a matter taken up by the
officers of the Commercial club with
our members in congress and the re.
suit is largely due to their efforts
Few realize the Importance of this
decision to the city. 1t means that
possibly thousand people will gather
here with a view to securing slice of
the rich reservation land, much Of
which is the cream of Idaho. 1t also
contains large bodies of the finest
white pine that grows. The Indians
will be given their lands first and the
balance will be thrown open to set
tiers. The reservation contains about
500, 900 acres most of which is avail
able. 1t is as fine a body of land as
there is in the Pacific coast country,
mostly deep loamy soil that will
produce enormoums crops of cereals,
timothy and vegetables.
The date for the opening has mo-
been definitely announced, but it viii
take place between June and No
vember l, of this year. Occur d'Alen'
will see an influx of settlers such a
was never before known in Idaho anC
many of those who fail to secure re
servation land will pick up choic
homesteads in the vicinity.

Elections Give Big Victory For
the Government

Berlin, Jan. 26.-The government
has won a decisive victory in the gen.
eral election held for new reichstag.
The liberal, radical and conservative
parties, supporting Prince Won Bue-
lows colonial policy, have won at
least 30 seats. More important for
the government than the success of
its colonial plans, however, is the
smashing defeat administered to the
socialists, who will have lost II or
18 seats.
This is the first election since 1887
that the socialists have not increased
their representation In the reichstaR
by from FIVE to 20 seats. They have
lost especially in several large cities.
among the places being Breslau,
Halle, Madgeburg, Leipsic and
Koenigsberg. The clerical center
holds almost all of its former loo
seats, having lost one or two of the
Poles in Silesia.
There is a possibility, however,
that reballotings in the undecided
districts may lose one or two more
seats to the center party.
The conservatives have won sil
seats, two from the anti-semites, two
from the national liberals and tive
from the socialists. ReballotinI
probably will be necessary in III
constituencies, so that complete re
turns will not be in before Februar.

Certain districts in upper Bavari
are snowbound and have not yet beel
