WITH numerous candidates seeking
The seat OF honor, 1t is believed that
with an extra session the merits OF
the candidates for the position, can
better be judged when the work Of

1t has been suggested that Thomp-
son, of Canyon, be selected for the
special session and Parsons for the
regular session.

question which must be discussed
this year before the legislature takes
up its general session as there are

efficiency OF the clerks hired and vote
for their appointment on their mer-

there are two active candidates for
chief clerk, j. II. Wallis, OF Rexburg,
editor Of the Rexburg Standard, and
George A. Williams, of Placerville.

who Is being backed by the Boise
legislators and John McGrath, OF

The must important problem now
confronting the legislators Is the ap.
pointment of pages. Under the law
prohibiting child labor, young boys,
who have heretofore been given the
positions, cannot get the places, and
many of those elected failing to take
the matter into consideration have
promised jobs to boys who will not
be eligible for the positions on ac-
count OF their age and it is believed
an effort will be vigorously opposed
by others who believe that the Law
should be obeyed to the letter.
Owing TO the fact that applicants
for the various clerKships haze ~be
come so numerous ana have been
used largely as medium Of paying
political bets, IL is more than likely
a bill will be introduced at the com
ing session cutting the salaries o
clerks from S. per day TO 50 or So. so
which Is believed will be a good sal
ary and which is more tnan mos

With this bill recommendation viii
be made asking clerks to produc'

salary of pages will also come up To-
discussion II present plans are carried

CONSIDERING
EXTRA SESSION!
Governor GOodin9 May Call Ex
ira Session Of Legislature.

1t is now regarded as almost an as
sured fact that an extra session Of
the legislature will be called late In
December, about week prior to the
opening of the general session, for
the purpose of considering and
adopting or rejecting the codes con-
piled by Code Commissioners John +.
Maclane
The question OF a special session
for taking up this matter has been
discussed for some time and has been
deemed advisable by large number
of the legislators to both houses, as
it is argued that at the regular ses-
sion, the entire time will be taken
up with the business already mapped
out, without the additional work OF
taking up the code at the regular
session. Some weeks ago a letter
was sent out by Chief Justice J. f.
AilsEie Of the supreme court calling
attention of the members-eect to the
legislature the code and asking their
views relative TO special session for
considering them, which will be
among the first duties upon the con-
yening of the legislature.
In reply To the letters sent out a
number OF answers have been re.
ceiyed, all of which, with but one
exception, ravor the extra session for
disposing of the codes in order that
the general session may not be hand
icapped with the work before other
matters can be taken up.
Those who have been keeping Ia
touch with the situation feel no hes.
itancy in saying that the extra ses-
sion will be called and they are con-
ltident that it will be called for nc
other purpose than for the considera-
tion of the codes, although a move.
ment was on foot short time ago to
have other matters considered at
this time, among them being the di.
rect primary and local option ques'
tious. This movement, however has
been qUelled, and 1t is firmly believed
that the governor will issue the Cal
upon the recommendation Of The
chief justices.
There ale several reasons why many
Of the legislators are anxious for ar
extra session in order TO dispose o.
the codes. before the regular session
the tirst being that the local optIor
and direct primary forces are anxious
I to dispose of those measures before
+ the election of United States sen
ator, which must take place on th'
eighth day Of the regular session
/ Another object in wishing for th'
special session is that temporar,
organization he affected, a spea ke
selected and clerks appointed. Thi
would necessarily show the compel
ency Of the clerks for the the genera
session and the strength Of tie can
didates for the speakership, couI'
be determined before the genera
session and the members would b.
able TO Judge Of their efficiency 70

speculation as to who will be sue

pie of the state by referendum VOTE decided to bond them
selves for this amount to improve the canal About $25

present Erie canal for considerable part of it's length

Since the great railways have been built they have
always opposed the canal and they and their friends
are the principal critics of the plan to enlarge it. The

monumental fraud

In New York. Senator Foraker the principal speaker
and the usual toast to the president of the United States
was ostentatiousy omitted
More recently E. H. Hartman attended banquet to
celebrate the opening of the Hudson river tunnels. The
presidential toast proposed in the usual way, but the
other guests paused to whether Hartman would drink
not Hartman lifted his glass slowly then smiled
broadly and drained the toast amid the cheers of the
guests all of whom followed his example.
Maybe E. H. Hartman is not better patriot than the
members of the Ohio society of New York Perhaps he
merely had better manners.

w. HIS GRAND PASSION

~. HIS GRAND PASSION
There was just touch of abrupt
ness in Methuselahs marriage. In
the first place, he took on the re-
sponsibilities of husband at the
youthful age of 1856 In the second
place, he was a victim of a Leap
Year. He had grown rather coy, be-
sides having cut his third set of
wisdom teeth and he meant to stay
in all Of Leap Year and take no
chances. All would have been well
had he not failed to allow for the
extra day In February-but he
didn't. and ventured out on Dec. 81
to pay New Years calls. This just
suited a young girl OF 1893 who had
been patiently keeping vigil near
the Methuselah home, and she
pounced out on him and hurriedly
popped the question to him. The
proposal was very brief, only re-
curing two hours. Having no time
to frame suitable excuse, Methu-
Eelah stammered. and accepted.
They sealed their troth with a

The union of Methuselah and his
childwife was blessed with a So
pound boy, whom they named La
mech. 1t Is an unusual name as
well as very pretty one, and 1t is
supposed they got it out of some
book.
Although then only 1877, Methuse-
lah began to feel sort of old with
such large son calling him
papa" Methuselah, therefore, cut
out his wild ways and settled

subscribed to the county annual,
to keep posted on what was going
on about him, and became an ex-
ceptionally steady, conservative
citizen for one of his youth. which
goes to show what marriage will do
