representatives of the railways are di-
vided in their opinions as to an ad-
vance in freight rates ON western
lines following the lead Of the south
western and the southeastern lines.
Some say that an advance will be
made effective about September /;
others are inclined to believe that
there will be no advance at all and
still others hold the opinion that there
will be an advance "in spots" All
agree that the advance OF the Western
Classification committee which Is soon
to meet in Manitou. will have a great
bearing on the situation; in fact that
it will forecast the action to be taken
later by the Trans-Missouri Freight
Association, which deals strictly with
rates.
Inasmuch as number of lines have
put advance tariffs into effect, it is ex-
pected that there will be an advance
in the west. Much will depend. how

WITH CANON CITY

II. st. John sends us from Los An
geles a copy OF the Herald with q
marked announcement of . new book
which seems to reveal startling con-
ditions in California. Mr.. st. John
says It Ii only too true and says no
one ought to get dissatisfied with
Canon City. /
Some Of the statements in the an
nouncement follow:
Mighty efforts have been made to
suppress the book TO be issued July
frst entitled Facts About Salaries
and Living Conditions in Southern
California"
For this reason the author IL all
the more determined to publish his
book. The truth should injure no
one.
The author deals in facts-not
theories. The book treats Of the
great army Of the unemployed in
Southern California-not Of orange
groves and land for sale.
While 1t does not attempt to de-
tract from the beautiful scenery and
glorious climate. IT. shows, and shows
clearly, why capable men and women
are working for starvation wages
many of them for IS and 50 per week.
1t will answer hundreds Of ques-
tons which those who contemplate
coming here would wish answered and
without q doubt It will prevent q
great deal OF suffering.
Incoming overland trains are
crowded with wage earners who are
without sumcient funds to purchase
return tickets. II this book, or its
contents. can be placed In the hands
of the public generally It will pro-
tect not only those who contemplate
coming to California. but the home
builders who are already here As we'll.

states. Their powerful interests are
fighting higher rates and there Ii a
wavering all along the line which may
have a decided effect. II the eastern
lines do not advance, the western lines
may also fail to hoist the rates.
The attention Of western railway
men Is now fixed on Manitou. where q
subcommittee OF the Western Classi-
fication committee begins its session
today. The general committee will
meet July 81 at the same place.
II the Western Classification COM
mittee shows disposition to change

way as to increase the rates, then 1t
will be a foregone conclusion that
the Trans-Missouri Freight associa-
ton will soon I'LL In the gaps left by
boosting the rates In order to make a

men are much concerned over the
situation, as they claim rates are
about as high now as they can stand.

ARGUMENTS TO Be HEARD
IN CASE on PATH INST.

A special session OF the court was
held Monday night for the purpose Of
affording litigants in the case Of Jacob
Wallace of Florence versus the Inland
OIL & Refining company Of Boulder an
opportunity Of finishing the introduc-
tion Of testimony before the departure
of Judge Bailey for Buena Vista to
preside at the regular July term Of the
Chaffee county district court. Mr..
Wallace was on the witness stand
most Of Monday afternoon in his own
behalf, and, naturally, interest in the
proceeding centered in his evidence.
His testimony was largely corroba-
tive Of the complaint, filed by his at
torneys some six weeks ago, the tenor
Of which has been alluded to in these
columns during the last few days.
Mr.. Wallace made a clear, compre-
hensive statement of his contention,
which was in brief. that the Inland
OIL and Refining company, the de-
fendant In chief, had been exploited
and made prosperous at the expense
Of the stockholders Of the United OIL
company Of Florence and OF the Inde-
pendent concerns engaged in the pro-
duction Of oil in that field. The de-
fendants at the evening session Of the
court called several Witnesses In re-
futation Of the allegations made By the
plainti6, but confined themselves 70
matters Of minor Importance, ignor-
ing the fundamental proposiboas in
the case. eliciting from the court he
statement that "the admissions were
most liberal"

then introduced by Mr.. McLain and
read in full by the clerk. On motion
Of Alderman Lamb it was accepted and
ordered published as required by law.
The vote of the council on the ordin-
ance was: Ayes, seven; noes, one.
state another resolution was offered
by Mr.. McLain and passed by the
council, all members concurring in its
adoption. The full text of the resolu-
tion is'a follows:
Resolved, By the city council of
the City Of Canon City, in the county
OF Fremont and state OF Colorado, in
regular meeting assembled;
1st. That the city clerk of this city
be, and he is hereby ordered and d.
rected to give the proper legal notice,
that sealed bids for the construction
of the improvements in Sidewalk and
Grading District No. 5. Of Canon City,

thorized to have fifty copies OF the
plans and specifications of the work
to be done in grading and improve
ment district number ive printed at
the expense OF the city, which closed
all needed legislation upon the SUBJ
3ect.
The building Of the proposed side

CITY COUNCIL COMPLETES
LEGISLATION FOR DIST NO 5

CONTINUED from page 1.)
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1908-12-11
OFFICIAL COUNT IN IDAHO.

The board of state canvassers has
completed its work, the official fig
lures showing that 98,2SS votes
were polled for presidential candi-
dates by all parties of the Gem state,
1.-THE republicans polling 52.621;
democrats, 36,162; prohibitionists,
1885; socialists, $500; independents,
l1119.
More votes were polled for presi-
dent than for gubernatorial candi-
dates, the total vote for governor
Iaggregating 1880, of which Brady
received 47,864 and Alexander 49,
las, giving the former plurality of
I7719, or 273 votes less than Hastings,
1.-THE next lowest on the ticket and
|1400 votes less than Lansdon the
third lowest on the republican ticket.
Both constitutional amendments
carried, the first amendment, pro-
viding clerical assistance for county
assessor receiving a majority of 6606,
while the second amendment abolish
ing probate courts and placing such
legal business under the jurisdiction
of the district judges, received ma
jority of 2543. The first amendment
was defeated in Bannock, Bear Lake,
Custer, Fremont, Idaho, Latah, Nez
Perez, Owyhee and Oneida counties
the other IA counties giving the
amendment substantial majorities.
The second amendment was de-
feated in Bannock, Bear Lake,
Blaine, Boise, Custer, Idaho, Nez
Perez, Oneida, Owyhee and Shoshone
counties, the other Is counties re-
turning majorities in favor of the
amendment.
With the receipt of the abstract
of votes from Kootenai county the
official canvass of the votes of the
different counties was canvassed by
the board, the plurality of Governor
elect Brady being slightly reduced
and four other slight changes made
which do not affect the general re-

per yesterday with Governor-eleci
Brady foreshadowing in part hi
Forthcoming message to the legisla
ture was of importance beyond the
subjects he discussed because 1t dis
closed his purpose to take the people
into his confidence and to keep then
advised of the big things to be under
taken in connection with his admins
ltration, both before and after.
He will not wait to tell the people
what has been done, but he will keeI
them informed as to what he proposes
to do in order that the subjects may
be thoroughly discussed and any oh.
jections brought to the surface in ad.
vance of permanent action.
This is somewhat, of an innovation
in the administration of the affairs
|of this state. Not only have the peo-
pie been kept in the dark as to what
has been done in many instances, but
they have had no intimation concern
ing certain policies contamination OF
which has aroused widespread oppo-
sition and which, had it had oppor-
tunity to assert itself in time, would
probably have saved the state in
more ways than financially.
This statement is not particularly
applicable to the governors Of the
commonwealth, but has more direct
bearing upon actions of other Off
cials who, for reasons that Gun only
be surmised, have kept certain Of
their transactions secreted.
Our new governor evidently does
not approve such things and will use
his influence to make every feature
of his administration, whether he di-
rectly controls it or not, an open
book.
Mr., Bradys desire that state
Carey act commission be authorized
will meet with the hearty APPROVAL of
all who appreciate the scope of this
tremendously important work and
who understand that the duties of the
state officers composing the land
board have SO increased in later years
as to render it impossible for them to
