idea can be carried out, the largest
parade of the kind ever seen on the
gulf coast. The captain OF the Ger
man training ship Hansa will also be
invited to place as many men as pos
sible in the parade.
If this plan materializes, it will mean
a parade of at least fifteen hundred
men, with three bands. The men will
probably be marched up Palafox past
the hotel, and returning. will be drawn
up in line in front of the hotel while
the silver service is being presented.
The feature will be a unique and
attractive spectacle.

The State Fair bill is being see-sawed
back aud forth between the House and
Senate. The House passed it and the
Senate held it up. Last week the
Senate got around to PASS it and 1t was
sent back to the House. Later, on
second thought, the Senate thought
they would like 10 read it over again
and so they asked the House to return
the bill to the Senate. The House has
now asked the Senate to return it to the
House. The chances are that the
Senate will take another look at it be-
fore they return it.
The Senate passed the Stearn
amendment to the Normal School Bill

amending it and the friends of the bill
are wearing an even more anxious look.

Several political ambitions breathed
easier last week when it was announced
that Theodore N. Vail of Lyndon would
not be candidate for Governor in 1912
The announcement that Mr.. Vail was
not candidate has helped the fish and

There was rumor that some of the ex.

him than that, but it was an idea that

PACIFIC COAST GETS
RATE REDUCTION

Washington. ID. C., Nov. 24.-The
class rates from Tacoma, Seattle and
Portland to points in Oregon, Idaho
and Montana were declared unreas-

railroads charging for theoretical
back haul from the Pacific coast to

the losses to the roads through the
reduction would be less than one per
cent OF the net operating revenue.
