HATTABAUGH APPOINTED INSUR.
ANCE COMMISSIONER

The senate staged another of its
now famous scenes this morning
when it confirmed the appointment
of Isaac c. Hattabaugh, of Grange
vile, as state insurance commission

quent appeal by Senator w. H. Horni-
brook to save the good name of a
citizen of Idaho from being dragged
in the dust, and which was Endorsed
by Senators Perry w. Mitchell, A.

that five members of the majority
wing Endorsed Hattabaugh on the Of

some of the heavy traction engines
that have passed over the road have
combined in destroying most of the
smaller bridges in this part of the
country. The bridge just south of
the station, which has always been
looked after by Bannock county on
account of being so near the Bannck
county line, is nearly out and needs
repairing, and the people at the
agency are in hopes that the board of
commissioners of Bannock county will
look into the matter at an early date.
1t is rumored around the agency
that c. e. Thum & Co., the post trad
ers, would retire from business If
the right party came along willing
to take over the business. The health
of Mr.. Pyke and his family demand
a change, it is said, and after many
years of successful handling of the
agency trade with the Indians, this
firm would be willing to withdraw.
Indian superintendent Estep is
starting vigorous campaign against
white hunters on the reservation. He
warns the people to keep close to the
line or the Indian police will get
them. Arrests will result in confisca-
ton of firearms and may mean the
maximum penalty of 5000 fine.

confirmation was certain, changed
their votes from no to yes and scored
the majority members for binding
them and then voting against the
agreement. Whitcomb in particular
did not hesitate to declare that he
had been deceived by his colleagues
and he named in particular Senator
Cheney st. Clair of Bingham county.
Eckert changed his vote, stating that
he was in honor bound to stand by
the caucus agreement, but as others
had broken it before him he felt
that he was no longer tied. He is

Though, that the seven months wheat
exports for the present fiscal year,
l17,195,72S. bushels, were practically
only one-third of the average seven

in the wheat exports Is shown by the
Gulf ports, particularly Galveston and
New Orleans.

1911, 5,S4S,749 barrels, were about
1861 below the average exports for

20% short of like receipts during the
1909-1O season and about 1870 short
of the average receipts during the
same period for the preceding five
crop seasons. The corn receipts at
lis interior markets for the five
months, 114,2O4.168 bushels, were
heavier than for the same periods in
the preceding five seasons, the larger
receipts for the current season cor
responding to the larger export de-
mand at the Atlantic ports. The five
months receipts of oats, 90,857,22
bushels, were larger, while those of
barley, 44,609,655 bushels, smaller
than for the preceding season.
The total grain receipts during the
five months period since September
were 373,746,192 bushels, compared

of over 400 million bushels for the

COMMERCIAL MOVEMENTS OF
BREADSTUFFS DURING
JANUARY

Decreased receipts of wheat al
leading interio" markets, and smaller
shipments of -four are the leading
features of the commercial movemen,
of breadstuffs during January of the
present year, as reported by the Blu.
reau of Statistics of the Department
of Commence and Labor. For the
first time also the monthly exports
of wheat were less in quantity than
the exports of corn.
Grain receipts during January at
ID important markets, 69,4O3,731
bushels, show but little variations
from the January figures of the pre-
ceding year and the January average
for the preceding 5-year period. The
total inbound movement was made
up of 16,494,4S4 bushels of wheat;
29,482,533 bushels of corn; 16,4S7,-
593 bushels of oats; 6,1S7,041 bu-
shells of barley; and $4,000 bushels
of rye. AS compared with cores
ponding 1910 figures for the more
important grains, the receipts of corn,
oats and barley show larger totals,
while those of wheat show sharp
decline from the corresponding
monthly total. 1t should be stated
though that this decline is not a
peculiar feaure of the January re-
ceipts. AS matter of fact, wheat
receipts for all the months of the
current season beginning with Sep
TENDER were lower than the year be-
fore, indicating either heavier re-
ceipts at the smaller markets, for
which no official reports are had, or
else larger stocks in the hands of the
producers. The decrease may be
said to affect almost equally the
spring wheat and the winter wheat
markets. Wheat receipts at these
markets for the five months of the
present crop period fell more than
