Short Notes of Current
Events.

A resolution was included among the
40 measures introduced in the lower
house of the legislature, which, if passed,
would have a more drastic effect than
any other which has been presented for
the last several sessions. It's purpose is
to withdraw the right to vote from the
women of the state.
Parsons, who fathers the document, de-
clares that it was submitted at the request
Of several of the feminine population of
Boise, and he displays petitions signed
by them.
The resolution is looked upon by many
of the representatives as a maneuver by
the liquor contingent to offset, ifpossible.
the effect of the local option bill recently
passed and signed by Governor Brady.
1t proposes an amendment to the consti-
tuition, to be voted on at the next gen
eral election.

On another page will be found an ad-
vertisement of the sale OF $1,000 shares
OF the Treasury stock Of this company,
that has just been placed on the mar
ket, as the company held options ON
the adjoining property TO their holdings
and wish to take the property over at
an early date. The last run Of the mill
showed decided improvement in the
percentage OF saving OF values over the
former run and the management con-
template additional changes in the mill
that will further increase the saving of
values. The ore in the mine is showing
as good, il not better, values than at
any other period Of the development,
and as there is sufficient quantity in
sight to keep the mill steadily at work
as soon as the weather will permit
OF the proper change in the mill to be
made, we expect to be able to report
good returns.

Twin Falls, Feb. 22.-G. d. Patrick
and Harry Morris, deputy sheriffs from
Owyhee county, and G.. G. Winters of
Rowland, Elko county New, arrived
in Twin Falls today having in custody
Frank Walsh, Jesse Coateg and Ollie
Tennel, who are accused of having stolen
% head of horses from the Indian reser-
walton. The alleged thieves were cap
tured on the morning of February 10, in
a binding snowstorm. They had been
trailed for considerable distance by a
posse and when surprised they made a
daring attempt to escape but were out
witted.
The horses were taken from the west
ern Shoshone Indian reservation about
February 15. The accused men were
met by Winters whom they would not
permit to approach. Winters FASTENED
to his home and got his rife and took
after the suspects while his wife notified
the neighborhood. A posse was quickly
formed and the chase began, the alleged
thieves having good start. The ground
was covered with snow and trailing was
easy but as the suspects were known to
be heavily armed the pursuers took no
chance. Winters tracked the fugitiyes
into canyon and headed them off by
firing a shot into them. Meanwhile the
posse drew in and surprised the suspects
getting the drop on them before they
could draw their weapons. All three
we're armed with revolvers of heavy cali
Der.
The capture was made about 80 miles
west of Three Greek in Owyhee county
and the prisoners were brought to Twin
Falls by way OF Buhl, distance of about
12O miles. Sheriff Clarke of Elko county
has been notified and is expected here to-
morrow to extradite the accused men.

To stand behind everything. tt

Grand Junction has decided to in
augurate a blossom Day next
spring. The idea is most attractive
one and should prove success from
the start. Nothing could be more
beautiful than the fruit sections of
the Western Slope in the early spring,
and we understand the railroads will
lend all possible assistance. Here's
to Grand Junction and Blossom
Day. Western Slope Criterion.
In the New Years edition of the
Denver Republican, issued yesterday
and which reached here today there
are excellent writeups of the edvelop-
ment and resources of Grand juno
| tion and the Grand valley. The fruit
industry of the western slope is dealt
with in very able article by Prof
Paddock. We certainly have no room
to complain this year regarding the
treatment received in the New Years
editions of the Denver papers.
Two skulls were discovered in a
pi.e of bones yesterday by William

The skulls had the appearance of
! having been exposed to the weather
for years. One was in perfect shape,
but u portion of the left side of the
other was missing. Goldmark says
that he found the skulls some time
ago near the town of Gillett.

PLANNING To
ALTER THE CLOCK
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS BILL, WHICH
HAS BEEN UP BEFORE, TO BE
INTRODUCED AGAIN IN Eng
LTSH PARLIAMENT.

London, Jan. 3O.-The Daylight
Savings Bill, which met with consid-
cradle support at the last session of
parliament is to be introduced again
next session in slightly amended
form. AS recommended by the select
committee the bill proposes a change
of an hour on a Sunday in April and
September, instead of an alteration
of 20 minutes on four Sundays in
each month, as was originally sug-
gested by Mr.. Willet, the originator
Of the idea.
Mr. Willet advocates a measure
which will provide for an alteration
of only 20 minutes in the first year.
His object is to meet the objection
to the proposal raised by the London
stock exchange and the Liverpool cot
ton exchange. These bodies point
out that if English time is altered
by an hour it will destroy the advan-
tage of having the markets of Eng
land and New York open simultan-
eously for an hour a day.

JAPAN'S CONSUL
MADE ERROR
OFFICER VISITED GOVERNOR
GILLETTE AND ASKED HIM TO
PREVENT ENACTMENT OF
BILLS.

Sacramento, Jan. 30.-On motion
of Assemblyman Drew, the author of
the anti-alien landing bill, action on
all anti-Japanese bills was post
poned one week, when the measures
came up as a special order of bust
ness today. Drew explained he de-
sired to amend his measure to con-
form with the wishes of Governor
Gillette and President Roosevelt.
Senator Mare Antony introduced
in the upper house this morning, a
joint resolution calling upon Con-
gress to request that the japanese
consul-general at San Francisco, be
recalled by his government on the
grounds that he had attempted to
influence the action of the California
legislature. The alleged offense
was that he called upon Governor
Gillette and asked him to prevent the
enactment of the anti-Japanese bills
now pending.

THE PURE FOOD LAW.

Secretary Wilson says: Zone of
the objects of the law is to inform
the consumer of the presence of GER
tain harmful drugs in medicines. :"
The law requires that the amount Of
chloroform, opium, morphine and
other habit forming drugs be stated
on the label of each bottle. The
manufacturers of Chamberlain $
Cough Remedy have always claimed
that their remedy did not contain
any of these drugs, and the truth Of
this claim is now fully proven, as no
mention of them is made on the Ia
bel. This remedy is not only one Of
the safest, but one of the best in use
for coughs and colds. It's value has
been proven beyond question during
the many years 1t has oeen in gen.
eral use. For sale by all dealers.

Robins, a local restaurateur, and his
wife next Sunday will celebrate their
wooden wedding, having been mar
ried for five years, and will then sep
arate. The couple five years ago
signed an agreement for trial mar
riage and in the agreement was in
serted a clause that. If the trial was
successful the mutual lease could be
renewed According to Robins. it
will not be renewed, although neither
feels aggrieved at the other. Robins
and his wife made what is termed an
ideal couple Both, however, came
to regard their marriage as a re-
striction of personal rights, and, al
though neither has complaint to
make against the other, each feels
that the marriage has not been a
success. They have, therefore,
agreed to part, but will remain good
friends.

REDUCE FREIGHT
RATES Of STATE
STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION
FILES IT'S REPORT GIVING
VALUES OF ROADS FOR STATE
AND INTERSTATE PURPOSES.
Special to the World.

Special to the World.
OLYMPIA, Jan. 30.-The state
railway commission has issued its
findings on the division of values of
the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railways for state and in
terstate purposes, and, while the rate
question is not yet taken up, the re-
port, when read between the lines,
indicates that there must be a ma
terial decrease in local rates in Wash
ington.
The value of the Great Northern
for the accommodation of state BUSH
ness, as estimated by Commissioner
Jones and Lawrence, majority of
the board, is As per cent of the total
market value of the Washington
lines, or $26,S09,744.50. The value
placed by a majority of the commits
sion on the Northern Pacific for state
purposes is Al per cent, or a total of
$45,226,4645O.
Chairman Fairchild of the commits
sion files an extended technical opin-
ion in which he contends that the ma
jority of the board has adopted a
wrong theory in reaching the above
figures.
If the majority figures are taken
as the basis and "a reasonable return"
figured at per cent, the Great
Northern could stand a decrease in
its earnings on state business of ap-
proximately $1,O00,000, but appar-
emily would be entitled to an increase
in its interstate rates.
Under the Fairchild theory the
state earnings could be decreased
about 100000, with no change
made in it's interstate earnings.
AS to the Northern Pacific, mem
bers of the commission all practic-
ally agreed dis to the division of val
ues, but have reached the same re-
suit by different methods of calcu-
lation.
1t is apparent from the findings
that the Northern Pacific net rev.
enue on state business alone is not
only more than a reasonable re-
turn on the value of the road for
state purposes, but is almost enough
to pay a reasonable return on the
value of the company's property in
this state for both state and inter-
state purposes.
It follows that the commission in
tends to enforce lower rates in this
state, rates that will give that line
fair, honest and almost generous
return upon the value of its prop
erty, but by no means will the COM
mission favor rates which make
Washington shippers contribute on
state shipments a sum equal to al
most per cent Of the entire value
of the Northern Pacific road.
