The Proudest Day Of His Life.

Several men OF prominence were the
other night discussing 1.-THE proudest
day of my life." That is an old sub
iect, but when you get q successful
man warmed up to it you q hear
some interesting stories.
After they got through, one OF them
said: ~ have always liked the answer
that Governor John A. Johnson is
said to have made to that question.
l think it was the finest answer ever
made"
"What was IT." they asked.
1.-THE %proudest day of my life,
Johnson said in reply to that ques'
ton, was when I took my first weeks
wages home and said: mother, yov
do not need to wash any more.'

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

While no public announcement to
that effect has been made, it is UNDER
stood that the state senate is divided
into two classes as to rate of salary.
The newly elected members receive $40
per day, while the per diem of the
hold.over senator's is only six dollars.
This discrepancy is due to the fact
that the salary law affecting members
Of the legislature was enacted two
years ago, and an increase In the
emoluments during their term of Office
is forbidden by the constitution.

The livestock committee OF the house
is said to have decided to recommend

the bounty on coyotes to Is and that on
wolves to go. The state, under the
provisions of the bill will pay q re-
ward of go for each wolf killed.
Hunters who kill wolf and coyote pups
will receive o for each young animal
killed. Another bill which received
favorable consideration is that intro.

Mr.. Cooper, the Northern Pa
cific official who visited the prai-
RE the first of the week, got
some of the erroneous ideas
knocked out of his head by the
elegant crops he saw from the
car windows as he crossed the
two prairies but he would have
had still greater revelations had
he condescended to get away
from his special car for a day
and travel out among the fields
of growing grain. Ninety-fve
per cent of the people back east
will laugh suspiciously or openly
charge one with distorting the
truth when they are told of the
enormous crop yields of this
country but few of them will
even try to investigate and find
out the truth of these statements.
If all of these doubters could be
set down among the grain fields
of Camas and Nezperce prairies
today they would receive such a
visible lesson as to cause them to
readily believe all future state
ments regarding these favored
sections. That this is the farm
ers' paradise residents of this
country have long known and
one visit here during harvest will
easily convince all others of the
truth of this claim.

Power Co. Lost.


A Boise Dispatch dated July c
says: Judge Dietrich, of the U.
s. court, today denied the petit
ton of the Washington Water
Power company for a temporary
injunction to prevent the sale of
the company's property in Koote-
mai county for taxes. The prop
erty was advertised to be sold
today.
Last year the property of the
power company in Kootenai coun-
ty was assessed at 1895, 900. The
representatives of the company
argued that this was more than
the full case value of the COM
pany property, that it was not
worth all told over 100000 or
$500, 900. They also argued that
all other property in Kootenai
county was assessed at not above
80 per cent of its full cash value.
These allegations furnished the
basis for the claim by the attor-
neys of the power company that
the county officials were deter
mined to take advantage of the
intense feeling in the county
against the power company to
curry favor with the voters. This
was denied by the officials and
their attorneys.
On the other hand. it was
shown by the testimony of ex-
perts that the property of the
power company in Kootenai
county was worth all the wav
from 81, 500, 900 to SIS, 900, 900 and
that the assessment was not I'M
reasonable. The impression a.
mong those most deeply interest
ed in the matter in this civ is
that at the sale the property
would go to the county and that
ultimately the company would
redeem it.
The taxes with the penalty and
costs will aggregate upward of
SGT, 600. The taxes were over
$24, 900. The company offered
to pay between $40, 900 and Sill
600 of this sum.

grain on to the harvest stage in
fine shape and the heads are fill
ing 80 plumply that the straw
will have all it can do to stand up
under its load of grain until the
cutting season arrives. Winter
barley is looking especially fine
and will probably be ready to
head by the latter part of this
month. That it will yield from
80 to 100 bushels per acre is al
most certain. Fall wheat is also
doing nicely and will be ready
for the binders and headers early
next month. From present indi-
cations it should run from 40 to
60 bushels per acre. Spring
grain will also bring a fine yield
although the acreage is consider
ably smaller than in former years.
In fact the harvest conditions are
ideal and nothing short of a ca
lamity can prevent the harvest
ing of the largest crop in the
history of Idaho and Nez Perez
counties this year. 1t is certain
ly worth much to reside in a
country where crops never fail,
where bad storms and extreme
heat are unknown and where
none need fear poverty unless
they are too lazy to do honest
toll.

OUTBREAK
AT PEACE MEETING

New York. December IA riotou:
| outbreak interrupted a large mass
meeting held at Carnegie Hall tonight
in support Of the arbitration treatief
which President Taft has proposed
with England and France Twenty
eight reserve policemen were hurried
to the hall.
The outbreak occurred after Nicholas
Murry Butler. president of Columbia
University had read resolutions urging
the Senate to ratify the treaties. and
Alfonso Is. koclbc. of the German
American Citizens League. of the
State OF New York, moved that the
majority resolution OF the United
States Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations be adopted as a substitute
for the Butler resolution" This de-
claration Is not a promoter of peace,
but breeder OF war" he exclaimed:
The words were scarcely out OF his
mouth when men jumped to either side
OF the stage and raised their hands
in an apparent signal, whereupon pan
demonium was let loose in the upper
galleries.
Catcalls. yells. groans and Kisses
made 1t impossible for Chairman Jos
eph II. Choate to proceed with the
meeting. One man on the platform
jumped and shouted. THAT packed
gallery Is composed of lot of cow
ards" At this. the shouts in the s>l-
Iery became founder and megaphones
were brought into use. Women in
evening dress in the boxes jumped TO
their feet looking ut their escorts as
If expecting the throwing of a bomb.
In the midst of the noise Chairman
Choate announced that the Butler re-
solution had been unanimously adopt :
ed. Persons on the main floor took
this as a signal for a counter-d emon-
stration, jumped TO their feet, shouted
approval and waved their handker-
chiefs and hats.
Carnegie Amazed.
Andrew Carnegie was down on the
program as the next speaker, but he
sat in apparent amazement at the
demonstration, and in his place, Rabbi
Stephen Wise asked for hearing. He
was met with such cries as shut up'
and throw him out" from the gall
leries Above all he shouted:
IL warn YOU that no people In the
world will feel SO badly at the result
OF this meeting as the Irish leaders
in the British Parliament"
His reference brought forth an even
stronger combination of groans and
bowls.
Finally police reserves reached the
gallery and elected the leaders, but no
arrests were made.
