In the same issue appeared the

Gee, entitled "A Legend Of Bear
Lake,
''Many years ago, before the foot Of
t ne white man had gone over this
country, there lived in IL shut i'll vail
ley between high mountains, a god Of
the Indians. For years he dwelt
alone In his cave, his only living com
panion being the birds and his bear
prophet. He feared nothing, because
his bear could tell whenever the
white man was coming near the cave
and he would retire into his cave
until all danger was passed. In
times OF famine he came out and
eased the suffering among the IN
dians; he taught them the mysteries
OF growing corn; he helped them
learn the language of the birds and
flowers, and he made Indians more
intelligent and Independent. He was
the most loved of all the gods about
whom the Indian mother and father
sang to their children.
"But one day a cold, sharp wind
came out of the north. Ii caught the
bear as he lay asleep in the cave and
numbed his senses until he could nc

he killed them both and was swep

What are Governor Hswley's inten-
tions2"
That is the question that is veXipg
| that portion of the Democratic party
which feels it incumbent upon it to fix
up the party slate. This cannot be
done until it is ascertained what the
governor purposes to do There are
three things under contemplation m
senator, to run for reelection for gov
ernor and to retire from politics entire
ly.
1t was fully expected that following
adjournment of the state convention
he would declare what he proposed to
do, but the result Of the convention
was such rs to feave little inducement
to any one to seek Office within the
party and no announcement was made.
1t Is now believed that he will await
the meeting Of the republican national
convention in Chicago. This will give
him the advantage both of ascertain
ing whether the disruption SO evident
in the party at Coeur d'Alene will con-
tiDue or whether it will die out, and it
will also give him an opportunity to
judge OF the republican situation in Jhe
state.
There is considerable talk to the eff
feet that it is Hawley's desire that there
should be no nominee for United States
senator at all. If that can be arranged
he will run for governor with the hope
of being elected and then, should the
democrats carry the legislature, he
would resign from the Z oyernorship in
order to secure election as senator.
This would make the lieutenant gov
ernor the acting governor tnruout
practically the full term of two years.
Karl Paine of this city, is said to be the
favorite for nomination rs lieutenant
governor on this program,
1t is known, however, that State
Chairman Nugent is not friendly to the
candidacy of Hawley for anything, un-
less it should be an open candidacy for
senator, and the state chairman will
work actively to carry into elect his
own views.
The slate that Nugent is said to pre-
fer is George Tannahill of Nez Perce
for United States senator; M. Alex
ander of Boise, for governor Edward
NJ Pugmire OF Bear Lake and Fogg of
Lewis or Scales of Idaho, for congress-
man; F. B. Kinyon of Ada county for
attorney general; John G. Rice OF Can

DEMOCRATS ARE
FIXING UP A SLATE

Under the thin veneer of party
harmony, the democrats of Idaho
are at war IN every county in the
state. Spoils are at the bottom of
the disturbance, of course, but from
present symptoms it will be ex-
tremely difficult for the party to
put up good fighting front In the
coming campaign.
Those who are determined to re.
nominate Governor Hawley for q
second term are busy at work on a
slate, and in all probability this
slate will be sprung at the platform
convention to be held in this city
June %.
Here is the slate as far as made
up yesterday:
| Governor-James II. Hawley of
Boise.
Justice of the Supreme Court
Edward L. Bryan of Caldwell.
Lieutenant Governor-Abner &.
Kern of w allace.
Attorney General-A. l.. Free
hafer of Adams County.
State Treasurer er--Curtis F. Pike,
Ada county.
Congressmen-Edwa M. Pug
mire of Bear Lake county and
Frank l.. Moore of Moscow, Latah
county
Superintendent of Schools-Mrs.
Nell X. Irion of Bonner county.
! This leaves the secretary of state,
state auditor, mine inspector and
presidential electors still to be dis
posed Of. 1t is hinted that one of
these will go to the north, the other
to the southeast, and the mine in
spector will be chosen from some
mining county.

of great assistance in the handling
of all matters which come before
the the board. Then there is a
feeling that Montpelier, being by
far the largest precinct in the Third
district, is entitled TO representation
on the board.
John Grimmett says there is no
truth IN the report that he is think
ing of trying for the nomination
for sheriff. If he gets in the race
for anything, it will be probate
judge.
j. L. Langford of Wardboro, il
thinking of trying conclusions with
Grimmett for probate judgship,
Mr.. Langford held that office two
terms in Kansas, before coming to
Idaho, and is therefore more or less
familiar with the duties of the of
rice.
As stated last week, the Examiner
is willing to announce the names OF
all who aspire to the nomination
for any office, SO don't be back
ward about letting yonr wants b,
known.
We were in error last week II
stating that nominations must b.
filled on June 80. The law on thi
point is az follows:
Certificates of nomination
herein directed to be filed with tn
county auditor shall be filed nd
more than 60 days and not less tha|
: % days before the primary election.
This makes Friday, July the las
day for fling nominations.

RAISING BIG TREE SEEDLINGS.

The Forest Service Is raising several
acres of Bigtree seedlings on the Tahoe
National Forest in California, at more
northerly point than any natural Big
tree grove. While the giant sequoias
are found In the forests Of the Sierras
at various points throughout total
of some $50 miles, in the northern two
thirds of this range there is practically
no natural reproduction. 1t has conee-
quently been q question whether the
species would not practically disappear
from this region when the present
mature trees die.
The most northern existing grove of
Bigtrees is on the Tahoe Forest, bat
about "a miles southeast of the site
selected for planting. This site Is ON q
moist fiat not far from Neveda City, and
is about $1,000 feet above sea level.
The first seeding was done In the fall Of
1910, with very successful result, and
last fall an additional area was seeded.
The method used in planting the seed
was that known to foresters as "the
seed spot method" Spots bout ] feet
apart each way were prepared by pull
verizing the earth with garden hoe.
Seeds were then dropped on these spots
and lightly pressed in soil with the foot.
The fourishing condition of the young
seedlings gives good reason to expect q
future growth of Bigtrees at this point
With protection of forests from fire
there seems no reason why Bigtrees
should disappear, even though scientists
regard them as survivals from paa
age, boutanically speaking.

stated that his mother would donate
two lots to the city, if the council
would open Tenth street south from
Main, and grant her the use of the
alley, which was closed by the city
some time ago. The matter was re-
ferred to the street committee.
The question of improving the
old Jail in accordance with the in
structions of the state sanitary in
spector, was brought up, but no
action was taken, as there seemed to
be feeling among the eouneilmen
that it would be a wise thing for
the city TO sell the lots on which
the old hall and Jail stand, and
purchase lot in a more central
location and erect thereon a suit.
able city hall, Jail and fire station.
The question was referred to the

ARM ANIPUTATED
AT THE SHOULDER

VIM. Horsely, who had several fin
gers mashed last March, while en-
ployed as a brakeman on the Short
Line, is having a serious time. He has
bad to submit to three amputatiens,
at the last one his left arm was taken
off at the shoulder, and word comes
from the hospital that his chances of
recovery are not very good. Mrs.
Horsely has also been critically i'll
the past week with complications
following child birth. Friends have
been aiding the family every way
possible and this week, quite a nice
sum was raised for the family by
popular subscription.

AS their schedule provided for a
short stop in this city, no effort was
made to hold meeting up town,
but goodly number of business
men met the special train at the
depot, and there was a cordial
greeting and handshaking between
the officials and business men for a
half hour.
E. @. Manson, assistant general
manager, headed the Short Line
party, and with him were some
Is or 30 of the heads of the var
ious departments of the road and
their assistants.
The Montpelier citizens had just
one question to put to Mr.. Manson
and that was, "When are we going
to get that new depotY" In reply
Mr.. Manson said that he could not
tell Just when the work on the de-
pot would begin, but that the ap-
preparation for a $40, 1000 station
was included in the Short Line
budget for the year beginning July
/, 1912. Other items included in
next years budget, according to Mr..
Manson's statement, ale a 200, 900
gallon steel tank at this point, and
the double tracking of the road
from Dlngle to Pescadero.
Whether or not any of these
items will be cut out by the board
of directors in New York, Mr..
Manson of course could not say,
but he felt certain that they would
all 90 thru, lnasmuch as they had
been o. KID. by General manager
Bancroft, himself and other Short
Line officials.
This is most welcome news to
Montpelier, rs it is the first time
that We have had anything like a
positive statement regarding the
new depot.
As the Short Line will have an
immense amount of Improvement
work on hand if the board of di-
rectors approve all the items asked
for in the budget, it is not likely
that the work on the depot here can
be started before next fall at the
best, for in the budget are included
two new depots besides the one at
this point-one at Pocatello and
one at McCammon.
At 2 o'clock the special tram
went to Paris. At the depot there
the officials were met by large
committee of citizens and taken in
carriages to the Fielding academy,
where they were enabled to get :
fine view of the beautiful valley.
Returning from the academy,
