idaho FINANCES
in GOOD SHAPE
STATE TREASURER HASTINGS
CONVEYS THE MOST CHEER
Full NEWS TO AIS CORRE-
sPONDENTs ON WALL STREET

The finances of the state of Idaho
are in excellent shape, according to
a statement recently issued by State
Treasurer c. A. Hastings, and in the
financial uncertainty that has pre-
vailed throughout the country it is
not bad idea to make note of the
fact and use it for boosting the Gem
of the Mountains. Treasurer Has
tings is not the kind of man to let
such an opportunity slip, and the
following letter from his office ad-
dressed to the Hanover National
hank of New York city is designed
to spread the cheerful news even
to the confines of Wall street. The
text of the letter is as follows:
almost all of the state of Ida
hos Indebtedness is payable through
your bank and in the course of
years transactions l have had a
great many of your checks pass
I through my Office, so I infer you
must be interested in Idaho's finan-
cial condition.
Our tax levy due from the %
1 counties of the state was $750,000.
This amount is due almost any time
in the months of January or Febru-
airy. That is, there is no compulsory
time for payment with penalty at
tached.
with the exception of $4,000
due from Ada county, who had her
money in the Capital State bank at
the time of it's temporary suspen-
sion, 90 per cent of the total amount
inside of 80 days time the amount
of unpaid taxes will not exceed 2
per cent.
Aside from the Capital State
bank of this city, not bank in the
state has suspended, and in all
probability the Capital State bank
will reopen in 80 days. Not de-
positor will lose a cent and hardly
dollar of their capital stock will
be impaired, although they may lose
their surplus of 100000.
Il have on hand today $1,000
J 600, the major portion of which Is
deposited in so banks throughout
: the state, and am in almost daily
touch with every bank in the state,
and they are all in cheerful mood
and their statements are all fine
The promptness with which taxes
are paid is reflex of the conditions
throughout this state"

A desperate rush of 700 mutinous

WIRELESS WORKS

PENSACOLA PICKS UP THE
FLEET AND EXCHANGES
NEWS WITH ADMIRAL EVANS
ACROSS GULF AND CONTINENT

WASHINGTON, March IL
About the last place that the navy
department expected to hear from
the Atlantic battleship flotilla for at
least six months was on the Atlantic
coast, yet this is what has happened.
The navy department has received
telegraphic message from its wire
less station at Pensacola which has
been in direct communication with
the battleship fleet, a most remarka-
BILE performance, considering that
the wireless impulses were obliged
to traverse the Gulf of Mexico, then
cross overland the state of Texas,
part of Mexico, and again traverse
several hundred miles of ocean.
! This particular message was from
Rear Admiral Thomas, in command
of the second division, and was as
follows:
Have you any important news
from homer"
An additional dispatch received at
Pensacola from Admiral Thomas,
dated on board the Minnesota at
o'clock last night, is as follows:
THE position of the fleet at this
moment is latitude 14,37 north, lon
gitude 102.01 west
Admiral Pillsbury, chief of the
navigation bureau, states that the
! feet is less than 900 miles from
Magdalena bay.
1t is moving at the rate of 10h
knots per hour, which is 1 u knots
more per hour than was estimated
when the ships left Callao. Thi
} will place the ships in Magdaleni
bay on Thursday morning, two day
ahead of schedule time.

MYSTERIOUS
EXECUTION

LONDON, March 11.-A dispatch
from St. Petersburg says three SOL
diers belonging to one of the caval-
ry regiments of the Russian Guards
were recently secretly and summar-
lily executed in the Petropavlosk
fortress Deep mystery surrounds
the aair, which has caused the more
speculation in view of the wild ru-
mors current within the past few
weeks of conspiracies against the
imperial household.
The three men were suddenly
placed under arrest, somewhat
vague charge of "furthering the
revolutionary propaganda" being
brought against them. There was
no trial, but two hours later there
arrived a messenger from Szarskoe-
Selo bearing triple death sentence
It is considered significant that the
document should come, not from the
war minister, as under ordinary cir
cumstances, but from the czar him
self.
| The doomed men were at once re
moved from the barracks to the fort
+. ress. The officer in charge states
that the czar had granted them
last favor-the privilege of beinI
shot instead of meeting death Of
the gallows. One of the men stam
mered a word of thanks. His com
panions remained silent, and in an
ether instant the sentences had bee,
carried out.
