Giant Skeleton Found.

miles north Of Shoshone, Lincoln
county, in southern Idaho, states a
recent Boise report. The place has
seldom been visited and is known tc
but a few, is the skeleton of pian,
ten feet tall, evidently of prehistoric
origin.
AS corroborate proofthey are now
exhibiting the rusty and timeworn
barrel of what appears to be an old

ing between Is and 80 pounds, re-
sembling flint lock rifle, and which
they claim was picked up besides the
skeleton.
The bones will be taken out of the
cave at the earliest possible date and
carefully packed and forwarded to
the Smithsonian Institute.
Its appearance, it is believed by
those who have seen the skeleton
will result in an invasion of the caves
in, that section Of Idaho by students
wishing to seek knowledge of the
earlier inhabitants of America.
The skull Of this giant is twice as
large as that Of the average man.
The shape would indicate that the
giant had massive head upon his

The direct primary is coming
III for some adverse comment
from time to time. The Pend
d'Oreille Review points out that
a man is elected to office by a
mere plurality but must have a
clear majority over all other
candidates in the primary in
order to secure the nomination.
The man who secures the largest
number of first choice votes in
the primary may lose the nomi-
nation on account OF the posi-
bility OF a lower candidate re-
ceiving enough second choice
votes to put him in the lead.
The Caldwell Tribune and some
Others are insisting pretty
strongly that the direct primary
law favors the wealthy. in fact
precludes the possibility of a
poor man running for office with
any chance OF securing the nom-
ination, and they point to the
fact that the three republican
candidates for governor, Brady,
Clagstone and O'Neil, are three
OF the wealthiest men in the
state. However, the argument
may be advanced that the good
points of the law more than
Offset the bad points, since every
man seeking Office must look
almost solely to the rank and
file OF the party for the nomina-
ton. instead OF to the party
leaders as formerly. Then there

pie never heard OF before. ANY.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Peterson were
pleasantly surprised at their country
home Thursday evening by the Royal
Neighbors, it being their seventh
wedding anniversary. In fact 1T was
such complete surprise, that neither
one was able to say anything for
several seconds. The first that they
we're aware of anyone's presence was
when the cry came:-"PeLe! Pete!
Pete! Sandwiches. Bring on the sand
| wiches!" Then the door was opened
| and the Neighbors entered. The
evening was spent in acting charades,
guessing contests and "cards." The
ladies brought refreshments and these
were served about eleven o'clock; they
consisted of cake, coffee and fruit
jello with whipped cream. 1t was
after mdn ght when the guests de-
parted after wishing the couple
many happy returns of the day.
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Brackln, Mr.. and Mrs. A. II.
Graham, Mr.. and Mrs. Tim Trauger,
Mr.. and Mrs. e. 9. Roath, Mr. and
Mrs. Dick Bamber, Mr.. and Mrs. G.
r. Cross, Miss Jennie Christmas, and
Milton Rawlings.
A great crowd turned out to hear
the debate at the city hall Friday
evening. Rev. Price plead in earnest
and eloquent tones for the Socialists,
Prof. Cross sang the Prohibition side,
Charles Burroughs told the people
what great good man Billy Bryan
is and urged them to vote for him
again, while Carl Skeel Informed his
hearers that the present administra-
ton is good enough. BY vote Of
the house, all lost out but Mr.. Price.
The writer not being able to be pres
emit, we didn't get full particulars.
But from all reports, it was lots Of
fun, and the winner is wearing his
iaurels very gracefully.
The celebration of our seventh
anniversary which was planned and
SO beautifully carried out, on Thurs
day evening, March 10, will always
be one of the most pleasant events
stamped on our memory's pages. We
have nothing but kind thoughts and

The New York Banks.

NEW YORK. March 26.-The Financier
will say regarding today's bank state
ment:
Due probably to the S5O,OO0OO0 city
bond sale as much as anything else, the
statement of actual conditions as shown
by the clearing house banks Saturday
was in direct contrast with the exhibi,
Of the previous week. Loans rose $27,-
4O1. 600 deposits made corresponding
gain Of $50. IN, 800. while the gain in cash
was $3.50. 800. The increased deposits
necessitated a heavier cash reserve and
this accounts for the falling off in the
excess reserve of "a. 49, 25. making the
net surplus at the end of the week above
the 25 per cent legal minimum of $1O.-
500, 725. The statement of the averages
issued Saturday did not reflect the ope-
rationS of the current week, and the
surplus reserve, figured on the basis OF
average operations. was $14.242, 100. The
trust companies and other institutions
outside the clearing house showed gain
for the week of s7.307, 100 in loans, a de-
crease of 81, 100000 in cash and an in
crease of $3.57s, 700 in net deposits. The
loans of the banks are now practically
as large as the deposit item. The two
stock exchange holidays at the end of
last week affected the bank statement to
some extent.
