Olypmla, July s. In the tenth day
of it's special session the senate adjour-
ned at 1 80 O'Clock to 2. p. IN, August
IL. when it will sit as an impeach-
ment tribunal to try J. H. Schively.
Five minutes later the house adjourned
to the same time Most of the men,
bers left at 2 80 on a special train for
Tacoma and Seattle. There has been
a question as to whether the house
need come back as full body on
August IL, Senator Graves holding in
debate that it need not. However,
the authorities in the house declare
that under tho constitution rhe house
must reassemble at that time. Just
before adjournment Speaker Meigs
made statement to that effect. Farms
worth objected, saying that nine mem
bers could assemble on August l 1 and
hold the organization, requiring the
attendance of the others when needed,
but he received no support for his idea.
No members draw pay during the re-
cess except the managers of the i'm
parchment, and they, by resolution of
the house, get $40 day. but at the
same time the house reduced their
number from eleven to three. The
three are Speaker Meigs and Represen-
tatives Sparks and Edge.
Bills are Slaughtered
The Duwamish river improvement
bill and all legislation pending that
did not pertain strictly to absolute
necessities were killed before adjourn
ment
A adjournment would have come
much earlier in the day had it not
been for the difference between the
two houses over the compensation of
the managers.
AS finally passed the bill leaves the
appropriation for the impeachment
expenses at $40, 600, gives the sena-
tors s. day while sitting in the trial,
gives the house managers ''such sum
as fixed by resolution of the house."
provides that the senate shall fix the
compensation of it's employees who are
to remain on duty, namely, the secre-
tary, segeant at arms and such other
employees as are found ecessary, pro-
vides for the payment of ''other ex-
penses authorized by the rules of the
senate and the law" provides that
witness fees and mileage in the state
of Washington only shall be paid on
the basis of payments in the superior
courts and also provides that these
payments shall be made on vouchers
approped by the president and secre-
tary Of the senate.

the ground about his residence with
an eye to beauty. Everything has
been carefully graded, bitches boxed,
California privet set to make live
fence and thing Of beauty, hearts
and diamonds formed about the lawn
to be stuffed with flowers and In a
general way the best made Of every
thing.
Mrs. Robert Is visiting in Texas
and no doubt will find happy sur
prise when she comes home next
week. There are other Blackfoot
ladies who would be willing to visit
the old home for a month IL that
is the chance their husbands are wait
ing for to get the lawns made over.
There are others who would agree
to stay inside or go out and help or
take turns in the matter IL their hus-
bands would just become anxious and
active about having nice yards. A
general movement in such matters
would be one of the most effective
advertisements we could have to place
before observers during our Diamond
Jubilee and would have good value
for that, even IL we could not enjoy
1t ourselves and most of us can.

and wants to sell out good way to

ELECTRIC CARS TO RIVERSIDE.
I. A road bed could be made from
Blackfoot to Riverside at small cost
and light rails would carry the cars
needed for ten minute service, but
the easiest way to get the road and
equip it with cars and current would
be for farmers there to .nclease their
water rights by investing in stock In
The Trego Ditch company within the
coming week while 1t can be had at
$33 share with the pending assess
ment paid by myself. After Saturday
May 9Th, the price OF all the unsold
stock will be advanced to par.
This is one of the old canals es-
tablislled in October, 1883, and al
ways diverts its share Of water, with
little expense for repairs. One share
will water several acres, and can be
had for what 1t costs for one acre
for almost any Carey project.
