den. Warden Stehpens was sued for
damages for liberatine 750, 900 fish

could be done in the case Of chattels.
1t was further held that no one had a
right to construct dam across public

being printed. These are all laws
promised in the republican state
platform and the republican mem,
bers of the legislature have express
ed tho intention Of seeing that eve
ry such promise is materialized in
to law at the earliest possible DO
ment.
One of the bills which is arous-
ing u good deal of attention, and is
apparently destined to cause still
more, is the anti-lobby bill, which
was Introduced in the house by
Representative Wyman, of Ada
county. Still another bill that it
is runored will be introduced, is a
measure making it q felony to re-
ceivc pass over any railroad or
other transportation line. 1t is
felt by many people who are inter
ested in the proposed regulation Of
railways through commission,
that if the pass evil could be cut
out, tho most potent factor used by
the rail road lobby in Idaho could
be entirely cut out.
There is a general sentiment here
that among the business men OF
Boise, there are number who are
practically under pay from the
Oregon Short Line Company, be-
ing given transportation, [cven un-
to the seventh generationH discrim-
mating advantages in the way of
freight rates, and other favors, and
that it has been through this
means that the railroad company
has in the past maintained its
throttling grip upon this and other
communities in the state.
Governor Gooding's recomenda-
ton that the test oath, now in the
constitution, be made operative in
electors oath, and that coupled
with it, there should be a provision
compelling voters to make oath
that they were not guilty of other
otfenses against the moral code be-
sides polygamy or celectial mar
riage, has been instrumental IN
taking all the wind out of the sails
of the Dubois faction. The recon-
mendation has met with the heart
lest approval among the people of
the six southeastern counties, and
especially among the Mormon peo-
pie, who throughout the last cam
paign stated constantly that there
was no reason why . Mormon
could not take the oath, and that
their opposition was based solely
on the fact that it was aimed At
their church, and was not intended
to include people who were guilty
of other gross infractions of the
law of right living outside OF poly
gamy. There seems to be little
doubt that tho law will be passed
early in the session.

but we shall never doubt a record
will be made that will place him in
a high place among the statesmen
of his country.
We who know him wia always

firmly upon the great principles of
Justice and truth, and that the
triumph will come which belongs
to those, who with steadfast deter

as being composed Of the most earn
est and determined set of men Ida
no has ever called together to dc
her bidding. The members
Throughout, so far as can he judged
by appearances, arc oil here with
one determine ion. and that is to
do the best they can for their state
to see that such legislation as Is
passed is of value, and to prevent
toe defeat OF the will o., the people.
The first considerabl duty of that
body will be the election OF a Unit
ed States Senator to succeed Fred
L. Dubois. This will be accomp-
lished OH the first ballot by the
election of Hon. w. +. Borah, who
was endorsed for The position by
republican state convention at Po-
catello. A joint caucus of the re-
publican members in the two
houses has been held, and this ac-
ton was decided on by unanimous
vote. The democrats who arc
eighteen in number, will vote for
Senator Dubois to succeed himself.
Never in tHc history of Idaho
has the message of a governor
made such profound impression
on both the members Of this legisla-
ture, and also upon all who heard
it or read it, ~ did thk Of Govern
or F. r. Gooding, which was pre-
sented to the Legislature last Tues
day. Even those who arc opposed
to the governors recommendations
for the enactment of remedical leg
islatisn, have complinented the
message as being plain, nanafcst-
ly sincere and filled with q fine
dignity. The leading men of the
city of all political parties have ex-
pressed their appreciation of it in
the highest terms, and it is con
stantly alluded to AS one of the
strongest documents of the kind
ever sent to the legislature of an
American state.
The recommendations for new
laws which are made in the mes
sage are already in the way of be-
ing enacted, Representative Bal
lsntyne has introduced bill pro-
viding for the creation Of rail
road commission, his bill being
very similar to the law at present
in force in Wisconsin. 1t provides
for a commission OF three men,
bers, app inted by the governor,
each member to hold Office six
years. The first commission to be
appointed will hold Office for two
four and six years. SO that u term
will expire every two years. 1t Is
expected that a bill similar in
character will be introduced in the
senate. Early action is expected
on the measure. From the report
ed statements of members, it is sp-
parent that good majority of the
house members are in favor Of the
bill. AS to the position of the
members OF the state senate but lit
lie is known. Several OF the very
Itrong members Of the state senate

nission regulation of railroad

SUES INSURANCE COMPANY.
Company Says Premius on Stoessels
Policy Was Not Paid.

Mrs. Stoessel, wife of Emile Stoes-
sci, the Insurance man who died in
Portland recently as a result of in
juries received in runaway on
Birch creek, has sued the New York
life insurance company for payment
of a $4,000 policy which Stoessel had
taken out with the company.
In the complaint, which was filed
late yesterday afternoon by D. w.
Bailey, it is said that on May IS,
1901, Emile Stoessel paid the insur-
ance company $4,000 as quarter
payment on a policy for $4,000. 1t
is then recited that Stoessel died in
October of this year and that though
satisfactory evidence of his death
was furnished the company, the pol
icy has not been paid.
In the complaint nothing Is said
regarding the payment of other prem
iums than the. first one, and 1t is un-
derstood that the defense of the in
surance company is that the policy
had lapsed.

next number, which will be lee

December 16, promises to be equally

DR.. Driver will speak at the NJ f.
CHURCH on next Monday night on the
subject, America Facing the Far
East" a live and important subject
for discussion on the Pacific coast
where the oriental question is grow

This Is one of the literary numbers
in the course and will be highly ap-
preciated by Pendleton DR.. Driver
is a leading orator of the country, a
deep thinker and a student of gov

promises to be a treat.
The other numbers which the lee

Senator Benjamin r. Tillman and
the Slayton Jubilee singers, both of
which were highly appreciated and
well patron'zed, but the lecture
course needs all the patronage 1t can
possibly get to pay the expenses Of
