LEWISTON, IDAHO, LOSES OUT.
Senate Kills Bill for Anniversary
Appropriation.

All hope of creating the Tenth judi
cial district out of Nez Perez, Lewis
and Idaho counties were blasted in the
senate when that body killed the house
measure seeking to classify these coun-
ties into a district.
During the first night session the
senate killed the appropriation bill
giving Lewiston $4,000 to celebrate the
5Oth anniversary of Idaho as terri
tory.
Governor James H. Hawley twice
urged, through a special message, the
passage of this measure. A measure
was passed appropriating $75o,OOO for
completion of the state capitol build
ing in this city.
After heated debate an attempt
was made to pass the direct primary
bill over the veto of the governor. The
republicans lacked but one vote of
doing so.

Farmhouse Fire

The only child of Mr.. and Mrs. Arley
Mccall, aged four years, was burned to
death Saturday, when the Mccall home,
four miles northeast of Potlatch, Idaho,
on Crane creek, was destroyed by fire.
The frantic efforts of the mother, the
only other person on the place, to save
the child, were fruitless.
About o o'clock in the evening Mrs.
Mccall discovered the one-story frame
house on fire. The flames had gained
such Roadway that it was impossible
for her to gain an entrance. With the
frantic mother looking on, the house
burned with her only child.

ROOSEVELT STARTS TRIP.
Visits All States of Union Except New
England, Florida and Utah.


Politicians are doing much guessing
as to the real object of the spectacular
trip which begun this week by former
President Roosevelt, who leaves New
York and will visit all states of the
Union, with the exception of New Eng
land, Florida and Utah.
Colonel Roosevelt volunteers NO
statement of his object in taking such
a long journey at his own expense. AL
though only three or four of the
speeches scheduled are wholly of a
political character it is the opinion
among political leaders that the entire
excursion is a political move, but
opinions differ as to the direction of
the move.
Colonel Roosevelt's first formal
speech will be delivered in Alabama
before members of the Southern Com
mereial club. President Taft win ad-
dress the congress the day before.
The colonel will be accompanied
upon his trip by his secretary, Frank
Harper. While. in Arizona he will be
given a reception by members of his
old regiment of Rough Riders, and one
day in the west will be given over to
a hunting trip.
