MANY PEOPLE
COMING TO IDAHO

According TO figures given out by
the Union Pacific railway, the com.
pany handled between March | and
April l 5 of this year more people
whose destination was Idaho than
it did for all Montana, Utah Wyom-
ing, Nevada and Colorado points
combined and with very large per-
centage to spare. 1t also handled
more passengers to Idaho than it
did to Portland or to "Other Oregon
Points. , Idaho was a very close
second to ssPuget Sound and all
Washington points, the number
destined for that large and rapidly
growing territory exceeding the
number destined to Idaho by only
14G passengers. The number tick
eted to various western points DUR
ng the coionist rate dates was as
follows: California, $500; Portland,
235S; Idaho, 2442; Montana, Neva-
da, tah,-Colorado and Wyoming,
1919. The increase for Idaho over
the colonist period of last year was
$40. The increase TO Portland was
but 80, to "Other Oregon Points,"
$50; to Pnget Sound ana Washing
ton, 862, While to Montana, Nevs-
da, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado
there was decrease of Al.
This shows Idaho to stand along
side the coast section aa one of the
growing communities of the country

DOUGLAS HIX TALKS
ON POLITICAL SITUATION
Says the Mormons are Not Lined up for Govern
Or Brady and That the Church is Not in
Politics Thinks O'Neil will Win.

Douglas Hix, who is we'll known
to all the old-timers Of Bear Lake
county, is at present serylng at
special agent for the census bureau
and is obtaining data regarding
mines and manufacturers. While
at Standpoint few days ago he
gave to the News of that city some
opinions on the political situation
in Southeastern Idaho. Being an
O'Nell man, Mr.. Hix naturally ex
pressed the belief that Barney will
be the republican nominee for gov
ernor. In speaking Of conditions
in the Southeast, Mr.. Hix is quoted
as follows:
81 find an opinion current in this
far north country and believed in
largely by respectable and intelligel t
men, that Mr.. Brady il the favorite
Of the MOI mon people, or as it has
been put up to me, The church can.
didate for governor of the state, but
you can take it from me that this is
untrue and absurdly false. 1t will
do Brady no goud and O'Neil no
harm. The Mormon church is not
IN politics, and having had some
kind of a standing in that organiza.
tion for 80 and more years, | am
sure | can speak the truth on thu
point. Why, Bishop John Douald-
son, probate judge in our county,
Albert Heath Of the presidency Of
the Fremont Stake, and James w.
Webster, erstwhile high Mormon
are all champions of Mr.
O'Neil or have been and they are
not men to change their views every
day.
"Mr. Heath referred to was state
senator from Fremont county in the
session and chaperoncd tn.

try to start in Idaho, and the bill
owed its success to the unswerving
support of Mr.. O'Neil to Mr.. Heath
and his sugar bounty, through the
long and able fight these two gentle
men put forth for the bill; yes, on
account of that think, Mark Aus.

know that Austin has been fighting
one Bill Stephens, who ls the g ate
game warden of Idaho, serving his
third term, but Mr.. Stephens has

to get Mr.. Brady to depose the gen.

nonconm ttal, he is alsp probably
keeping that to himself. Yes, Mr..
Hart is great friend of ex-Gov.
ernor Gooding, at least be is not
saying anything about Frank ii g
last few days and | give it to yon
on the q t that that is what makes
me think that either the Hon w.
N. Stephens, the ablest politician
in Fremont county, or the ex-gov.
ernor, has compelled Brother Hart
to fight under his ('BiIl's) banne",
which means, Of course, that he is
today Brady man.
"Four years ago took an active
part at county convention acting
as floor leader for both Gooding
and Brady, where at the head of the
pppositlon stood the lion. Jol n
Hart and to. hear him then, you
would hardly figure him IN the Bra.
dy aggregation.
''John Hart is friend of mine
rs are they all, all honorable men,
but to me it is a strang apectacle to
see the Hon. John Hart and the re-
doubtable Mark Austin, who have
been the captains on the firing line
leading the beleagucd republican
hosts, against certain men and their
methods to now lie inert captives,
bound hand and foot, in the camp
Df the ex-governor and following
the leadership of the 'Quondam
Bill.'"

WHEN EXPENSE OF
CANDIDATE BEGINS

That a political aspirant for of.
fee does not become a candidate
under the direct primary until he
files acceptance of the primary nom-
ination and Is required to file ver-
flied statement of expenditures in
Cured or paid during the campaign
after that date, is the substance OF
an opinion rendered by Assistant
Attorney General o M. Van Duyne
and concurred in by Attorney Gen.
eral d. G. McDougall in response
to inquiry from prospective candi-
date.
The opinion il based on the de.
cision Of the supreme court of Min.
nesota in the case of the state ex
rel Brady vs. Bates, one of the most
recent direct primary cases which
has been decided. The letter in
which this opinion is advanced by
the attorney generals office follows.
Boise, May %, 1910.
J. w. Smith, Esq,
Assessor and Tax Collector,
Occur d. Alene, Idaho.
Dear Sir: Your letter of May 10,
1910 asking as tO what tina tha av
penses of II candidate for office begin
to run is at hand.
Replying will say that I have made
a rather extended investigation of
this question, and find there are few
conflicting authorities upon this
point, but that | am inclined to be-
lieve that the expense of n candidate
begins from his filing of his accept
ance OF the primary nomination.
This is not exactly settled ques-
ton, by reason of the fact that pri-
maries are of recent origin, and many
@f these questions have not reached
the supreme court of the various
states, but the most recent cases that
j have been able to find and which in
my opinion are most applicable to
Idaho conditions, hold that the ex-.
pense commences to run from the
filing acceptance of the nomination.
Yoars very truly,

ANNIVERSARY OF FIRE.

Seventy-tivc years ago today light
ming struck the old First Presbyterian
Church on south Fairfax street and
the fire which followed completely
destroyed the structure. Shortly after
the congregation had been dismissed
on Sunday, July 20, 1885, a cloud
gathered over the city. There was
some thunder and lightning, but,
seemingly, not Of severe nature
The rainfall was brief, and shortly
before the cloud passed over cry OF
fire was radcd. The hand engines and
the bucket brigade were unable to
check the flames and the building was
entirely destroyed. The present church
building was erected shortly after the
fire. But few Alcxandrians now liv-
ing have any recollection of the fire.
An aged and wcllknown citizen, who
was small child at the time, was
standing in front door with his eyes
directed toward the church building
when the bolt descended. He says
the lightning seemingly spread over
the roof in the twinkling OF IN eye.
The present church was struck by
lightning several years ago but the
damage was slight.

ALEXANDRIA, GAZETTE AND
COMPETITION Only CURE.

Senator A. B. Cummins, OF Iowa,
speaking before sweltering Chautau-
qua audience at Holton. Kan, yester-
day afternoon, said a systematic ar
rangement of competition alone coulu
cure Americas economic troubles.
THE inroads which the monopoiies
have made on our industries in the last
few years." he said, have MADE IL
necessary for the republican party TO
declare just what the docHlne 0! pro-
lection is, solely for the purpose OF m
PRODUCING competition. Those intr'iSt-
ed with that duty have not revised the
tariff as was promised in the republican
platform. 1t now becomes the true re-
publican's duty to explain what might
have been accomplished had It's repre-
sentatives been faithful to their trust:
THE railroads charged excessive
rates and accumulated a surplus. THIS
they put back into improvements, ana
they now ask you to pay additional IN,
terest upon this surplus obtained
through extortionate rates. In ten
years the railroads added "a, 800, ooo,
900 to their capitalization OIL better
ments and extensions without the m
vestment of a single penny or lndepeh-
dent capital We must pay interest on
this surplus investment.

Barcelona, July 26.-Owing to the
report Of government spies that a
bloody revolution is imminent, 10000
troops and 1000 additional gendarmes,

PUT ON THE ROADS.

Guard R. f. Mitchell arrived in this
city yesterday evening and took in
charge John Etnbrcy, white, and Cluster
Wilson, John Wilson. Charles Blaia,
colored, recently sentenced to terms
of Imprisonment in Jail for various
offcnses. The prisoners will be put to
work on the roads in the neighborhood
of The Plains, Fauquier county.
The prisoners who we're recently
sentenced to terms fin the pcnitentiary
are still in the jail in this city awaiting
the appearance Of a guard from Rich :.
mond. 1t was urged that the reason
for the delay in taking them to the
penitentiary was the report to the cf-
feet that smallpox existed in the jail.
The fact that the prisoners sentenced
to work on the roads have been taken
away shows that there is no longer any
reason for delay in taking those to
Richmond who have been sentenced to
the penitentiary
