THE LAST DITCH

Definite announcement
that the SpOkesman-Review,
an obscure morning publ
cation that has infested this
city for some time, is about
on it's last legs was given
yesterday in announcement
of it's intention to graft the
churches in the hope of &C.
curing a circulation. This
is a form of holdup that has
never before been resorted
to in the widest agony of
perishing periodicals.
1t is understood only on
the theory that the publica-
ton driven to such extreme
has grated everything secu-
lar and must continue the
process as long as there is
anything sacred to graft.

nearly all of the more important
maneuvers.
The strength of the army is to be
increased for the time being by no
fewer than 269.742 men from the re-

army OF 626,S46 men, will bring the
total under arms at the end of Au-

Of the assessors in the capital city
this year many Of the shortages of
sheep reported in the various coun-
ties have been decreased, the assess
ors in Bannock and Fremont counties
insisting that approximately 10000
head of migratory sheep in their
counties during the year should be
added to the abstract, and not noted
at the bottom of the county abstract
as migratory sheep to be reported on
the subsequent roll.
The result of these additions has
decreased the shortage of sheep ap-
preciably, the total shortage for the
state over the number reported for
1907 being 47,S25 head.
Explanations were given by the as
SCISSORS of those co5nties in which a
shortage for 1908 is noted, the asses

The session of circuit court to COM
mence September 2f Will be the first
one since the law was enacted which
takes the power of indictment from
the district attorneys and leaves 1t
entirely with grand juries.
In view of this fact the coming jury
term of court will be of much more
than ordinary significance. At that
time the new system will be given its
first trial in this county and the work
of the grand jury will be watched.
with interest.
Just what is to come before the
grand jury in September is something
that is not being advertised very
widely. In fact there IS no way Of
telling at this time just what cases
will be brought because the field will
be open to all and there is yet lots of
time for cases to be developed.
But that there will be a multitude
of cases for the seven grand jurors
to investigate is freely admitted by
District Attorney Phelps. This
morning he protested that it will re-
quire at least a week or 10 days for
the grand jury to finish its work and
it may be that the grand jury inves-
legations will completely overshadow
all other business at the September
session.
Naturally the grand jurw will have
to investigate many cases wherein the
prohibition law has been violated.
Already some complaints along this
line have been laid before the district
attorney and there is no doubt but
that the grand jury will have to pass
on many blind pig" cases. The facts
connected with these cases will be
made known inside the grand jury
room.
