QUESTION RIGHT OF
CITY DOC CATCHER

Whether or not the city dog catcher
has the right to imprison goats, pigs,
horses, cows and the like, seems to be
one Of the most vital questions of the
day in this city at the present time.
The dog catcher while on the street,
in conformity with his title catches
dogs, but being in charge of the city
pound he is also adjudged the pound
master. In the latter capacity some
think he has the right to pick up all
kinds of stray animals.
At the present time there is a
chilly" goat locked up in the pound
and the dog catcher was comforting with
city officials this morning as to his
rights. He obtained no satisfaction in
city hall and the police department,
and was directed to see the mayor and
city attorney.

SENATOR M'CUMBER
ON DIRECT ELECTION


Washington, June 12:-Declaring
he will vote against the direct elect
ing of United States senators rather
than have prevail the amendment
which he says will deprive the ma
tional government from controlling
sue elections, Senator McCumber
today outlined to the senate his views
on the question. Direct election of
senator's" he said, would result in
relief to state legislatures and pre-
vent legislative bribery and dead
locks. But the plan Is weak in that
1t would be impossible for anyone
but a rich man to stand the cost of
two campaigns, one before nomina-
ton and the other before election.
Another weakness Of the plan is that
1t would tend to destroy party poll
tics"

RESTORED TO ENTRY.
Land Office Gets Notice of Recent Act
of President Taft in Washington.

Orders restoring 2,4S3,469 of land
lying in the Snake river valley to en-
try and withdrawing them from the
classification as ''coal bearing" lands
were received yesterday from the de-
partment of the interior by William
Balderston, receiver of the federal
land office.
This sweeping order was issued by
President Taft upon the recommends
ton of Senator Borah and the chief of
the geological survey, who discovered
upon examination, that the lands do
not contain COAL. This leaves only
about 10000 acres now in the state
classified on the records of the depart
ment as coal lands, but even these have
not yet been thoroughly examined by
the geological engineers.
Although this immense tract of land
is restored to entry, that does not
mean that there is any new land
thrown upon the market for settlers.
The land has always been open to en-
try under certain conditions, but these
conditions are now removed Hereto
fore an entryman could get no more
than 100 acres, either as desert entry
or as homestead entry while now
the land is subject to the same laws
that govern millions of other acres of
land in the state Most of the land
still under these restrictions lies in

AN ALTRU|STIC AGE.
Work of the National Civic Federation
Being Recognized.

Undoubtedly the world is growing
better. Not only are the fossilized ma
tons, like China, waking up and adopt
ing modern ideas, but there is great
growth of human sympathy and an I'M
derstanding of the moral responsible
ty of the individual toward his fellows,
in our own country. One of the best
evidences of the latter is the work of
the national civic federation, which
embraces in it's membership men and
women of all grades of social stand
ing-captains of industry, chiefs of Ia
Dor, capitalists, college presidents,
working men and women; all bent on
lettering the condition of the individ-
ual. At the last annual meeting Pres
ident Seth Low reported that there had
been progress all along the line. At
the coming annual meeting it is be-
lieved that even greater progress will
be reported.
