candidacy. and his alleged announ-
cements have drifted into political
Boise from other parts of the state.
While in Lewiston recently the
state chairman is quoted as stating
that he had never definitely an
nounced his candidacy and that he
was not prepared to do so then. His
Femarks at that time, if correct.
would corroborate the statement
made through the letter to a friend
in Boise.
over month ago and as fore
casted through the columns Of the
Capital News. a revised announce
ment supposed to be authorized was
printed in Boise by local paper
known to be close to the Wallace
statesman and rumored in political
circles to be his official mouthpiece.
The announcement. reported to have
come direct from Mr.. O'Neil or his
manager, was not sent to other
papers friendly to the Wallace states
man.
Other announcements purporting
to have come from Mr.. O'Neil with
Preference to his candidacy, previous
to the one just mentioned and diff
ferent from it, were published in
Salt Lake and at Standpoint almost
simultaneously. The matter was
taken up by the southeastern press
at that time and commented upon in a
humorous way, for it was considered
physical impossibility for the state
chairman to appear in Salt Lake one
day and in Standpoint, northern
Idaho. the next.
The arrival of Mr.. O'Neil in per
son in the capital city within a shor
time will give him the opportunit.
of correcting or verifying the rumo
: with reference to his candidacy, AM
in the meantime his friends will wal

This is the question which is puz-

number of the recognized campaign
leaders who this week received a di-
rect intimation from Mr.. O'Neil that
he had not fully made up his mind
about entering the race for governor
and was not prepared to go ahead
with campaign until he does In
fact, it was learned today that Mr..
O'Neil, in a letter to a close political
and personal friend in this city, de-
clared that any statements purporting
to come from him as an announce
ment of his candidacy was unofficial
and unauthorized, premature in fact,
and that there is some question in
his mind as to whether or not it
would be wise for him to enter the
race During a political discussion
yesterday, one of the prominent party
leaders in Boise and a man close to
the political situation, declared, when
conversing on the strength of the
respective gubernatorial candidates
that he had seen the letter from Mr.
O'Neil, which led him to believe
there was a possibility that the Wal
lace banker would not become al
active candidate.
] Men who are known to be close t
Mr.. O'Neill and active in his behal
in the race for governor stated
when seen today, that they do no

GREATLY WORRIED

WASHINGTON. March i0.--With
the possibility. almost the probability
Of having his interstate commerce bill
badly mutiiated by Congress. Presi-
dent Taft to-day began exerting all
the influence at his command to save
what he can Of the measure.--
The President Is considerably wer-
ried over the vote of to taken In
the House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce yesterday in
favor OF limiting the scope Of com
merce court. which Ii the administra-
tons pet feature of the bill. Al
though two members of the commit
tee, both of whom are In favor OF the
Taft plan. were absent. the vote show
ed that the opponents of the presi-
Dental measure can at least deadlock
the committee with a tie vote.
On several occasions President Taft
has declared that whatever r. done
to the railroad bill In Congress, he
will consider the measure q failure,
unless hts recommendation regarding
the commerce court goes through sub
stantially AZ he framed It. The
amendment on which yesterdays vote
was taken substituted the Interstate
Commerce Commission for the COM
inerce court as the body TO receive
the applications of railroads desiring
To acquire Interests In other lines.

PLAN WORK ON THE CER1|E

According to Jack Travers,
one of the heaviest stockholders
of the Gertie property in Burke,
work will be commenced on the
new lower tunnel as soon as l..
W. Hutton returns from Mexico.
The old workings, consisting
Of a 1200-foot crosscut and 800
feet Of drift on the ledge were
begun too near the surface and
did not get far enough under the
iron Gaping before drifting.
The latter working never en-
tered the sulphide zone, and was
barren of results. excepting such
as accrued from a wider know
ledge of the underground condi-
tions.
The new tunnel will pierce the
mountain at a depth of 2300
feet. and will gain depth ra-
pidIy.
In the upper workings such
indications as crystalized lead
was discovered and the location
Of the property adjoining the
Hecla holds out high hopes for
