IDAHO NOTES.

as the Hazelwood Creamery company
has promised to build plant as soor
as the Northern Pacific completes its
| line.
Less than a weeks work is required
to complete the cut on the Spokane &
Inland Empire system near Viola sc
that the road should reach Moscow
by July 1 and train service should be

The commissioner of the general
land Office has reversed the decision of
the register and receiver of the Occur
d'Alene land office in the contest case
of William Ryan versus Allen E. Far
nam. This decision gives the land to
Mr.. Farnam, whose right was contest
ed by Mr.. Ryan, who is United States
customs officer at Porthill, Idaho.
William r. Chedsey of Denver has
accepted the appointment by the re-
gents to one of the vacant professor
ships in the mining department of the
graduate of the Colorado School of
Mines. He has had practical expert
ence in mining work in Montana and
has been assistant in surveying in the
Colorado School of Mines for the last
two years. He will take up work in
the next semester.
Following upon the heels of the dis
missal from office of United States Dis
trict Attorney Ruick, it became known
that, acting upon instructions from
Washington, Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Cooley requested Of United States
Marshal Rounds his resignation.
That Rounds resignation was asked
for and that he has so far refused to
comply has been verified. 1t is the
belief he will also be summarily dis
missed and that Sheriff Hodgin of Ada
county will be named to succeed him.
Three applications are on file for the
district attorneys place, but there is
no indication as to the appointee. The
candidates are G. H. Hansborough,
Blackfoot; c. H. Lingenfelter, Lewis
ton, and G. G.. Pickett of Moscow.
Assistant District Attorney Johnson
takes temporary charge of Ruicks
office.
The little son of Mrs. Zolda Thrash
er of Pendorville, Idaho, who is visit
ing her parents near Eaton station,
eight miles from Weiser, was killed
recently by being struck by the second
section of westbound passenger train
No. 5. The little fellow was crossing
the track when he was struck. His
skull was crushed. A coroners inquest
will be held this evening.
Upon an affidavit sworn to by the
Rev. Charles MacCaughey, Probate
Judge Worstell of Wallace has issued
a warrant directing Sheriff Bailey to
seize all money slot machines and to
bring them before the court to de-
story them. In addition to an order
for SEIZURE the warrant also carries
the rights of a search warrant, giving
the sheriff to seize machines regard
less of whether they are in use or not;
that is, provided he can find their hid
ing place.

The Collapse of the Graft Prosecution
in San Francisco.


Why it is that the graft prosecution
in San Francisco, which started on it's
mission with so brave a trumpeting,
has collapsed in futility and defeat, is
told by William Inglis in the conclud-
ing instalment of the notable series of
articles, For the Kingdom of Cali
fornia, which he has been contribut-
ing to Harper's Weekly. What" he
asks Tin the issue of June 49,, "is the
conclusion of the whole matter?
Messrs. Spreckles, Phelan and Heney
directed all their efforts to convicting
corporation officials of bribery. They
entered into an alliance with the
known grafters in an effort to bring
about these convictions. The grafters
in their eagerness to be good dogs
added to their original testimony and
so defeated the plan. There seems to
be at this moment no hope of ever
sending any of the San Francisco
boodlers to prison for their crimes"
SO ends the great crusade.
