Acting Superintendent W. H.
Jones Of the Montana division
Of the Short Line, this morning
officially announced that the
new tariff on coal shipments
from the Wyoming mines to
Pocatello will be effective Dec
ember 9th. The reduction a.
mounts to 80 cents per ton.
Local dealers will, on the date
mentioned, announce a coinci-
dent reduction of so cents per
ton to local consumers. Near
ly 40 days ago, the Oregon
Short Line, hearing complaints
Of the high price of fuel in
Pocatello, filed with the inter-
state commerce commission a
new tariff, granting a so cent
reduction in freight from mine
to consumer in this city. The
interstate commission requires
a new schedule to be published
30 days before it can 60 into
effect. The delay has been due
to the red tape of the COM
mission and not to the Short
Line. .-Pocatsllo Tribune.

THREE DISAPPOINTED HUNTERS
Ducks They Were After Came to
Town to Meet Them.

MOUNTAINHOME, Dec. 3.
Three we'll known Boise
men, E. L. Marvin, E. G. Crock
er and Edwin Snow, had a most
unusual experience here. They
came down to hunt ducks on
Snake river. The webfoots,
hearing of their visit, came to
Mountain Home while the hun
ters were bound for the river,
and died here of disappoint-
ment at not meeting them. A
Mountain Home butcher took
charge of the remains until the
visitors returned. They, too,
had been disappointed, and
their feelings were not especi-
ally soothed when the butcher
charged them so cents per
duck for storage. They re-
turn ed to Boise this after
noon. Statesman.

FARMERS INSTITUTE CARS.

The officials of the Oregon

send two farmers institute
cars over the entire system
One car will be used as a lect-

are willing to congregate and
experts from the Idaho and
Utah agricultural colleges will
give illustrated lectures or
those subjects of most in.
terest to the farmers in the
various sections visited.
This movement was prompt

company to assist the com

marketed than those of lower
grade. 1t will also be product.

and who are exceptionally vel
qualified to explain it's work

Governor Gooding to-day
finds himself in q rather
strange predicament The last
Legislature passed 9 resolution
calling for a vote Of the people
on a proposed amendment to
the constitution, and last month
the people, by a small vote,
adopted that amendment, which
provided, in effect, for the alb
rogation Of the courts Of pro-
bate, and the creation Of q new
set of district courts. One
paragraph of the amendment
directs the Governor, within
ten days after the official can
vas Of the votes was completed,
to call q special election to fill
vacancies caused by this amend
ment. Another, bn the con-
trary, provides that the amend
ment shall not 60 into effect
until 1911. What the Legis-
lature really intended to say
on this point isI therefore q
matter of considerable uncsr-
tainty, and in all probability the
Supreme Court will soon be
called upon to decide.
Elmore county 10 Of course

for in case a special election is
held, she will be Joined with
Blaine county in the election
of . district Judge to succeed
Judge Walters, who by the
operation Of this same law
becomes Judge for Lincoln
county only hereafter. When
ever the new law does 60 into
OBJECT, and the Judge for the
Blaine Elmore district takes
Office he will receive q salary Of
$1,000 per annum, half Of
which will be paid by the state,
and half by the counties joint
ly. Elmors county's proper
ton will b close to $400 psr
year. In addition to this, how.
ever, there will be the travel
ing expenses and hotel bills Of
the Judge to pay, a. we'll as the
salary Of the court stsnograph-
er. In all. the new arrange
ment will cost a little more
than is now paid the Probate
Judge. In return, the county
will have q court session at
least once a month, making It
possible for litigants to get
results much more speedily
than before.
