EREAFTER the glories of the
Fl Yosemite valley are TO be closed
to cats!
That is the order of Major William
w. Forsyth. Sixth cavalry, Z. 5. A,
commandant of the Yosemite national
park The order has just been pro-
mulgated throughout the command in
the park and all cats that have been
planning a spring time excursion OF
the national Sierra park will have TO
change their schedules and go up to
Tahoe or Del Monte.
OF course the new order will work
a hardship on the cat. The dog has
been excluded from the park for some
time. but the dog is a complacent brute
and can accommodate itself TO disap-
pointments.
But with the cat it is different.
Puss-in-Boots has not been a very
regular visitor to the valley, but has
come in often enough to mortify Major
Forsyth. The cat, as is well known.
is a ferocious animal when 1T is started
on its career. The domestic house cat,
as is well known TO all nature lovers.
when deprived of milk and fish heads,
will attack any creature. The few
cats that have heretofore found their
way into the valley have made
life unbearable for the grizzly bear that
haunt the recesses of the park The
cat is no respecter of the antiexpector-
alton ordinances. but has been known
to spit full in the face of the sedate
bears and cause those timid creatures
unutterable chagrin. Major Forsyth
has seen lit to protect the grizzlies
from the fenneous attacks of the pussy
cats me-ouw.

Marking the formal acceptance by
Congress of the statue of the late
Senator George l.. Shoup of Idaho, now
in Statuary Hall at the Capitol, elab-
crate ceremonies will be held next
Saturday in the Senate and the House
of Representatives. Tributes to the
Idaho pioneer. to his life and character
and craftsmanship will be paid by
members of both houses of Congress.
Citizens of Idaho have found de :
light in honoring the late Senator
Shoup. 1t is regarded especially
fitting that his statue should be one of
the two to be placed in the Hall of
Fame as representing a favorite son of
that state.
Mr.. Shoup was one of the Idaho piotl :
neers. having located in the state 1oon
after the territory was organized. He
was the last territorial governor and
the first governor of the new state and
also one OF the first two United States
senators from Idaho. He served in
the upper house for two terms. reti"-
Ing in March. 1901. and was therefore

Helped Make Idaho a State.

1t is not generally known, but it is
nevertheless fact that the admission of
Idaho as a state was largely due to his
efforts. He was taken to task by the then
Secretary of the Interior the at that time
being territorial governor, for coming to
Washington to work for the admission of
the territory to statehood without first
obtaining leave of absence.
He at once prepared and rendered his
resignation as governor i'm order that he
might remain and continue his efforts be-
fore Congress. He was afterward pre-
vailed upon by the President to withdraw
his resignation, but did so with the under
standing that he was to be allowed to
remain in Washington long as he re-
garded his presence necessary.
His long experience as a legislator and
a governor. both Of the territory and
the State of Idaho, peculiarly fitted him
FOR the discharge of his duties as chair
man of the Senate committee on terri
tories. a position he held at the time of
his retirement from the Senate. He was
so member of the committee on In
dian affairs. military affairs, pension and
Indian depreciation.
Senator Shoup died in December. 1904
at Boise, Idaho.

Career of q. L., Shoup.

George l.. Shoup. generally regarded as
the foremost citizen of Idaho. was born
in Pennsylvania June L.. 1896: was edu-
Gated in the public schools. and was
brought up on a farm. He removed,
with his father, to Illinois in June, 1852.
For the succeeding seven years he was
engaged in farming and stock raising near
GaleSburg. ILL.,. removing to Colorado In
1889. There, until the breaking out of
the civil war, he occupied himself in vari-
Gus mining and mercantile enterprises.
In September 1861. he entered the serv-
ices of the Union army member of
an independent company of scouts. He
had many encounters with Indians and
desperadoes on the Pocos, Canadian and
Red rivers Of the south. also on the
border of Texas and the Indian Territory.
and later on the Arkansas river and its
tributaries. .
Soon afterward he was commissioned
second lieutenant. and was engaged in
scouting in the far west and southwest.
In the spring of 1863 he was promoted
to the first lieutenancy, and in May of
that year was assigned to the list Colo
RADIO Regiment of Cavalry.
He served as member Of the consti-
tutional convention of Colorado in 1864,
and after an absence of thirty days from
his command he returned to active mill
tary duties. In September 1864, he was
commissioned colonel of the I'd Colorado
Cavalry. and at the expiration of his
term of service was mustered out in
Denver.
Established in Idaho.
In 1866 he established himself as a
merchant in Virginia City, Mont, and at
Salmon City. Idaho. and was en-
gagged in various mercantile, mining and
stock raising enterprises, and became
widely known as business man OF abil-
lily and a man of pronounced and valuable
views upon all questions of public con-
Germ.
Mr.. Shoup was a member of the ter
ritorial legislature of Idaho during the
eighth and tenth sessions; was delegate
to the republican national convention In
1880; a member Of the republican nation
al committee from 1880 to 1884, 1883 to
1892 1882 to 1894 and 1896 to 1900, and
again in 1900 to 1904.
In 1884 and 1885 he was United States
commissioner for Idaho at the world $
cotton centennial exposition, held at New
Orleans. La At that time the treasury
of the territory was at such a low ebb
that it was impossible to make such an
exhibit as was creditable. Mr.. Shoup, in
his usual generosity. advanced the neces-
sary funds, and the exhibit was one of
the best made by any territory.
Mr.. Shoup had the distinction of having
been the last governor under the terri
torial form of government. and the first
governor under statehood, having been
appointed governor of the territory in
1889 and elected to that position in Octo-
Der. 1890. He became a member of the
United States Senate in December of that
year, and was reelected in 1895. His
term of service expired March 3, 1901.
