ATLANTA MAIL BY
THE WAY OF BOISE
Postoffice Department to Advsr-
tise for Bids for Star Route
Over New Road.

Atlanta is to have a new mail
service, distribution to be by a
star route running out of Boise
and over the new wagon road to
the mining carp, instead OF
from Mountain Home by way
of Rocky Bar. The present
route has always been consid.
cred exceedingly dangerous and
during the last few years sew.
eral Of the mail carriers have
lost their lives in the snow
either by losing their way or in
immense slides.
When the road from Boise
was completed Atlanta resi-.
dents Immediately petitioned
the postoffice department te
provide this new route, as the
service from Mountain Home
had owing to many interrupt.
ions in the winter season, be.
come very unsatisfactory.
Schedule Of Service.
The department will adver-
tise within the next few days for
bids for carrying the mail from
Boise by Norton and Twin
Springs to Atlanta, 81 miles,
and back six times a week. The
schedule for this daily service
is outlined as follows:
Leaves Boise daily except
Sunday, 6 a. m.
Arrive Atlanta, Up. m.
Leave Atlanta, daily except
Sunday, 6 a. m.
Arrive at Boise, 8 p. m.
Tn-Weekly Service.
Bids will also be received fol
a similar service three times q
week as follows:
Leaves Beise Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday at 6 a. m.
Arrive at Atlanta 8 p. m.
Leave Atlanta Monday, Wed.
nesday and Friday at Ga. m.
Arrives at Boise 9p. m.
This service in case of its
final adoption will not in all
probability be effective until
the present contract on the
Rocky Bar route expires. --

CALDWELL ENJOYS
Ii UNIQUE CONTEST
Several Districts Participate in a
). Declamatory Contest. A
Good Program.

contest was held in the Cald-
we'll opera house last evening,
in which five schools were rep
resented consisting Of the high
schools of Weiser, Payette,
Mountain Home, and Boise, and
! the college Of Idaho. Three
representatives were chosen
from each one Of these districts
to present an oratorical, drama
tic and humorous defamation.
The contest is the first one Of
its kind ever produced in that
section of the state and we re-
gret that up to the time Of go
ing to press we were unable to
secure an account of the event.
We venture to say, however,
that it was a mammoth success
owing to the fact that the very
best talent was selected from
each district. The program fol-

RAILROAD MEN
JOIN HANDS
Organization Perfected in Chicago
for the Benefit Of Investors
and Employees


Railroad men are very much
interested in a new organiza-
tion formed in Chicago recent
ly which is to include the heads
of the employees organizations
and the directing heads of the
greatest railroad systems in
the country. The new organ
ization is known as the Ameri-
can Employees and Investors
association, with headquarters
in Chicago. AT the initial
meeting investors in over
100000 miles of railroad were
represented and the heads Of
four great organizations of
employees were present. An
executive committee was ap-
pointed as follows:
Warren S. Stone, grand chief,
Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers; A. B. Garretson, presi-
dent, Order Railway Conduct
ors; John J. Hannahan, grand
master, Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Engineers;

The following declaration of

"The purpose of this asso-

prosperity Of American rail-
roads, as will best promote their
successful and profitable oper-
alton, for the benefit alike of
their employees, investors and
the public.
"To encourage, by every

roads.
"To do whatever lawful
things may be necessary in or

regard at all time to efficient
service, fair treatment and

REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
THE DISTRICT JUDGE.

The democrats have made no nom,
nations for district judges as yet,
probably preferring to wait till the SUI
preme cnurt has passed upon the con
stitutional question as to whether
judges elected at general elections to
succeed judges who have resigned or
whose offices have become vacant for
any reason shall serve six years or
until the end of a %sextennial term. No
Hretense is made by this paper to the
possession of unusual knowledge re-
lating TO the constitution, yet this
question appears so plain that even a
layman cannot help reaching the con-
clusion that there is mighty strong
ground for the position that district
judges elected at general elections
have a constitutional right to n six
year term, Tho section of the consti
tuition relating to this matter reads as
follows:
Section 10. Until otherwise provid-
ed by law, the state shall be divided
into three judicial districts. in each
of which there shall be elected at zen.
eral elections, by electors thereof, one
judge of the district court therein,
whose term shall be six co. years from
the first Monday in January succeed
ing his election and until his successor
is duly qualified"
If the foregoing section of the IN.
stitution means literally what it says.
then Judge Carpenters term will be
the only one to expire on the first
Monday of next January. 1t has been
urged by some that the judges in the
several judicial districts should be
elected at the same general election,
but there is no good reason for this
position. In fact, when new districts
were organized II would cause con-
fusion unless the creation of the dis
trict was timed to suit such a plan or
contention. AS the judges are elected
for a term of six years, their election
cannot In any event be timed so that
they will be elected at the same time
other state officers are elected, hence
there is no reason why their election
should not come haphazard, being CIV
EN- a full term of six years from the
first Monday of January following the
general election at which they were
elected.
There are some statutory provisions
which seem to conflict in a measure
with this section of the constitution,
but the constitution is paramount. The
decision of the court is being looked
forward to with more than usual in,
terest.

SAMPLE OF CONSISTENCY.

I'VE demand the impartial enforce
ment of all criminal statutes without
distinction as to persons, but We con
denim the practice of the republican
administration in singing out for pros
ecution the small offender and real
settler, while allowing the large cor
porate land thieves 10 go unpublished,
and whitewashing personal favorites."
The above is a plank from the demo-
cratic platform just adopted by the
wyoming "dyed-in-the-wool." You will
find the whole document on the first
page of Fridays. Leader.
Today's Leader, page Z, contains the
following, which is not exactly recon
ciliable with the article of faith quoted
above:
Denver, May 15.-Sixty indict-
ments. many Of them against well
known Colorado business men, were
returned by the federal grand jury
yesterday. Forty Of the bills returned
we're for violation of the government
laws.
Among the prominent land owners
indicted is A. R. Gumaer, ranch owner,
horseman and politician of Florence,
who is charged with unlawfully fenc-
ing several hundred acres of AM aid
jacent to his ranch. The Yampa Live
stock company of Routt county, the
principal promoters OF which are Rob-
ert and John S. Carey, Denver capital
lists, was also indicted on the charge
of unlawful enclosure"
Notwithstanding the fact that the
government is indicting these large
land owners and livestock companies
and doing just what the Wyoming
democratic platform seems to want,
the Leader, the official organ, puts a
head over the Denver dispatch just
quoted intimating that it is mere per-
secution by Roosevelt sleuths."
When a democratic newspaper is so
palpably dishonest in its opinions and
so obviously inconsistent in its creed
it is not difficult to understand why
a democratic party convention ignored
that papers recommendations on the
leasing and other questions.-Wyo-
ming Tribune.
