PROHIBITION is BLAMED

Boise, Ida.-The temperance issue
in Idaho suffered a severe blow as a
result of the recent election. This
fact is generally admitted by leaders
of both the Republican and Demo
cratic parties. That the people be-
against statewide prohibition now
seems evident. This, it is claimed
caused the defeat O. Jas. II. Brady,
Republican candidate for Governor
and present chief executive Of the
state, and resulted in the election of
his opponent, Jas. H. Hawley, Demo-
crate.
With the election over, Office seek
ers are striving for preferment. The
governor will be called upon to select
a private secretary, a chief clerk, bank
commissioner, insurance commission

LITTLE LOCAL LEGIS-
LAT|ON BY CONGRESS
Short Session Will Be Devoted
to Measures of Present
Administration,

Washington.-C Comparatively little
local legislation for the Pacific North
west will be considered at the ap-
preaching short session of Congress.
In the brief three months from De-
cember to March 4, Congress will
be obliged to pass all of the great
supply bills that provide for running
the government, and when to this
necessary program are added few
important general measures that will
be pressed by the administration, lit
tie time will be available for purely
local legislation for any part of the
country. Therefore, most of the pend
ing bills introduced by the Senators
and Representatives from Oregon,
Washington and Idaho will fall of
enactment. =
AS matter of fact, there will be
| little more than two months of ac-
tive work in Congress this winter
Not much can be accomplished before
the holiday recess, outside of the
preparation by committees of the big
bills that 60 on the legislative slate
The recess itself will take out, two
weeks, SO that most of the active leg
islating must be done between Janu
ary 3 and March L.
II Congress carries out the policy
understood to have been adopted al
, the last session of passing an annua
river and harbor bill, the appropria
tions for the waterways of the North
west will overtower all other legisla
ton of the winter SO far as local in
terest is concerned.
The Columbia River, with its prin
cipal tributaries, will be included, bu
how many other rivers and harbor
of the Northwest will be equally fol
tunate cannot be ascertained in at
vance of the meeting of the river an
harbor committee. Certain it is, how
ever, that no projects will receive al

There is not likely to be big or
nibus public building bill at the sho
session, and the probabilities are tn;
there will be none at all, though Co
gress probably will make appropri
tions for purchasing public buildir
sites which were authorized at IL

OIL FOR NAVAL SHIPS.
Advantages of Liquid Fuel Over Coal
Are Numerous.


Are Numerous.
The fact that the United States navy
has begun to purchase fuel oil by con-
tract and is preparing to establish
storage depots from which naval ves-
sells may regularly ill their tanks
proves how thoroughly satisfied the
authorities are with the careful tests
which they have been making for
many years past, says the Scientific
American. AS compared with coal.
fuel oil shows the following advan-
tagcs: I, possesses greater evapora-
tive efficiency over coal of about IA
to 0. and its use not only gets rid of
the problem of dirty and clinkered
fires and the always troublesome dis
posal Of the ashes. but renders possible
great reduction in the fire room
force. 1t avoids the great labor and
inconvenience attending the coaing Of
ships, the manual labor for which
work is practically eliminated. The oil
can be piped into the double bottom
of the ship and utilized in compart-
ments which at present serve no useful
purpose. In proportion as large sup
ply of oil is carried and the coal supply
reduced the considerable amount Of
space now occupied by coal bunkers is
rendered available for other purposes.
With the use of fuel oil it becomes
possible to make sudden variations IN
| the power developed by the boilers and
! to change rapidly from cruising to full
power speed. The control of combus-
! ton is practically absolute, 1t being
possible with oil fuel to admit exactly
the desired proportions of air for the
best results. Firing with oil fuel IN.
sures a longer life to the boiler. and
particularly does it reduce repairs on
! the tube sheets. for there is no neces
sity for the opening and shutting OF
| furnace doors. with the resulting sud
den variations of temperature in the
| frebox.
Considered from the standpoint Of
! the strategist, oil fuel is of inestimahlt
advantage, for it becomes possible, ex
cept when the boilers are being very
hard pushed. to eliminate smoke ant
so get rid Of one of the most telltal'
evidences Of the location of fleet.
