CONGRESS- IN SESSION
Democrats VIII Have Opportunity TO
Show What They Can DO.

The congress of the United States
is in session again and during the
next few months attention viii turn
toward the nations capital
1t is an interesting session. largely
from the fact that there is a change
of front in political machinery and
the democrats are to be in power
once again in the lower house.
In this connection it is interesting
to note the political history of the
congresses Of the United States
Only ten years out Of the past 30
did republicans rule the house. Be
ginning with 1877 and ending with
1913 democrats had majorities rang
ing from nine votes to 149 during the
sessions they ruled The congress
from 1875 to 1877 had a democratic
majority Of 61 In the next two
years they had a majority of only
nine and two years following this
they increased in to 19. Beginning
with the year 1891 the republicans
had an inning of two years. but they
lost this back when in 1883 the DEM
ocrats got control again with a ma
iority of "a.
Two years later the Democrats
won 10 more seats. but in 1887 the
republicans made gains and cut down
the democratic majority to Is. Two
years later the Republicans won con-
troll Of the house which they kept
during the years 1890 and 1891,
The greatest landslide ever known
for the Democratic party was in
1891 when Cleveland was trium-
phant. The grand old party had but
SO representatives to the democrats
2S6 and the democratic majority
reached the scandalous total Of 149.
Immediately they began to lose
ground and the next two years show
ed the democratic control only 81.
This term of 1898 to 1895 mark
ed the end Of the democratic con-
gressional era. From that time to the
present, a matter of Is years. the
republicans held control, with JOS
eph Cannon welding the gavel Next

Uncle Joe Cannon foresaw the

GREAT THINGS
FOR THIS CITY
TWO BIG COMPANIES STRUGGL-
ING FOR FIRST CHANCE
FOR RIGHTS
Actual Construction Work to be
Starter on One System at Once
And Temporary Surveys COmplet-
ed TO This City.

1t seems that Mountain Home is |
about to come into her own and that
the long delayed prosperity and de-
velopment promised is about to be
realized. The Elmore Irrigation Com
pany promises to be a success in the
matter of a Carey Act segregation
and following this comes the assur-
ance that we are to have one of the
greatest operating companies of elec
trio power in ,he world to come into
The city with IT'S lines.
Two great companies, the Tellu-
ride and the Great Shoshone company
are striving for control of the cleo
trio power situation in south western
Idaho and both companies are very
active in the operations at the pres
ent time.
The Telluride company already
owns one of the largest power plants
in the west. located in Bear Lake
county and is the plant which furn-
ishes power to Salt Lake. This is
the wealthiest company doing busi-
ness in the northwest and has already
contracted considerable business in
this section from parties interested
in irrigation. This company has en-
tered into a contract with the King
Hill company by which they take ov-
er the canal system from the Malai
river to the syphon and which they
agree to keep up at their own ex-
pense. They intend to pump water
into the syphon thus doing away with
long and frail line of fume work.
The company has arranged to err
ect its principal sub station at Glenns
Ferry and will run its lines to ad-
jayent towns from this point.
Last Wednesday their engineers
and surveyors reached this city with
their preliminary survey and pitch
ed camp just east of the stock yards.
On Thursday they received word to
retrace their steps TO the Malai riv-
er and make their survey work tenn
porary in order that the construction
might be started without delay.
The Great shoshone Falls Light &
Power company is backed by Kuhn
Brothers and their plant is located on
the Malad river at Salmon Falls just
three miles below that Of the Tell
uride company's and was completed
some six weeks ago. Having an I'M
mense volume of water with droo
of 1875 feet. the power developed is
far in excess Of what can be used IN
that section AMI the company has
decided to branch out and has ouietly
made arrangements for running a
line into southwestern Idaho. This
company will also have its principal
Sub station at Glenns Ferry and from
there proposes to run a high power
line into Mountain Home.
Each company is now aware Of
iae move to be made by the other
and both are seeking to gain adj
vantage in every possible way. The
Great shoshone company, however,
has the advantage Of having It's
plant complete and expects to be in
the field first while those in a posi-
tion to know state that the Tellu-
ride company will begin running its
line at once and will be prepared 10
furnish power much quicker than IS
generally supposed. 1t is believed that
both companies will be doing busi-
ness here before the people general
iy realize that they are coming to the

REvIvE NORTHERN league
A. W. Daley, Manager Of the Old In
ter-CltY Team.

A movement is on foot to revive I
the old Northern Base Ball League,
which included all of the larger cit
les of the State by parties interested
In the sport. and prospects have been
obtained in three OF the larger cities
Of Vermont and an effort is being
made TO interest Montpelier in the
project For this purpose Arthur w.
Daley, who was manager with the old
MontpelierBarre team, was in town
the first part Of the week looking over
the situation.
Mr. Daley also went to Barre where
he obtained assurances from men
who were identified with the old as
sOciation that they would place a
team in the field if the teams of the
other three cities in the proposed
league were forthcoming. These
cities are Burlington, Rutland and
Montpelier, although the promoters
realize that the hardest proposition
will be to start the ball rolling in the
latter city. Burlington and Rutland
have teams already picked out from
some of the fast college players and
| only await the action of Barre ana
Montpelier to start four team lea
que. If these two cities do not enter
into the game then the two mines al
ready formed will play as indepen-
dent clubs.
Mr.. Daley said that from what he
had heard and seen here that he felt
sure that the fans were wishing for
base ball again and thought that a
/ l., ~ ufnt1l1 a
great success and the games would
be well attended. AS to the current
talk that Montpelier and Barre would
not stand for anything but the fast
est of base ball after having such
teams as they had in the old days,
Mr. Daley said that in his opinion
both cities would be just as strongly
represented, as there are any number
of college players who since the en-
tering of the ThreeI League into or
ganized base ball, would be only too
glad to appear on the local diamonds
for reasonable salaries.
Where in the old days 1t was neces
sary to pay man from $40 to $50
week and some times more it would
now be possible to get a player Of the
same calibre for anywhere from Sl'
upward and not more than $40 up
ward at that The reason why these
prices were prevalent in the old lea
que was that most of the college play
ers formerly went to the Three
League but on account of its enter
ing into the strictly professional
game they do so no more. The plal
is to start league at the latter par
OF next month after the college com

Bride-to-6e Source Of Trouble at
Navy Dance.

FaNJ 6'NS~s
New York, May IA Washington
despatch in the Herald says. What
many will regard as a fitting climax
to a romance fraught with difficulties
came today when II was learned that
Paymaster George Percival Aud of
the United States navy, is to marry
Miss Madeline Swift, daughter OF
Rear Admiral William Swift, U. S. ~,
retired, next month.
"Paymaster Aud was prominently
before the public early In the year as
result of having knocked down DIR.
+. S. Cowles. cousin of Rear Admiral
w. S. Cowles, at a navy dance last
December. II was alleged that DR..
Cowles had made insinuating re-
marks about Miss Dorothy Hesler Of
Chicago. who was visiting in naval
circles in Boston. Miss Swift was a
central figure at the trial by court
martial of Paymaster Aud and
Passed Assistant Surgeon A. H. Rob
nett, which followed as a result OF
the incident
From the first II was believed that
the attachment OF Paymaster Aud for
Miss Swift had something to do with
the quarrel between Paymaster Aud
and DIR. Cowles. Miss Swift, at the
last moment. had broken her engage
ment to Harry Duer Storer of Atlanta
Ca, who came TO Boston to marry
Miss Swift and found the wedding
indefinitely postponed
Meanwhile close friends of Miss
Swift said that Paymaster Aud was
indirectly responsible for Miss
Swlfts change OF heart toward Mr.
Storer, and rumors OF an engagement
between Mr. Aud and Miss Swift
were current
AT the sensational trial OF Pay.
master Aud and Surgeon Robnett,
Miss Swift was an important witness
for Mr.. Aud. She testified TO DR..
Cowles' attitude toward Miss Hesler
and indicated that Miss Hesler had
at least on one occasion been much
embarrassed by DR.. Cowles' atten-
ton. After the trial, from which Mr..
Aud and Surgeon Robnett escaped
with slight punishment, Il was known
that Dr. Robnett and Miss Hesler
were 10 be married.
THE announcement of the coming
wedding OF Miss Swift completes the
dove lopments which were not alto
ether unexpected as n result OF the
navy ycId quarrel. which stirred navy
circles to their depths"
