ernmcnt Twelve Months.
BIG PENSION INCREASE
More Money Also Needed for
the Navy; House May Not
Follow Advice.

WASHINGTON, Dec. e.-It will cost
1898, 3,II5.45 TO conduct the affairs
of the government for the fiscal year
ending June 50, 1914, according TO the
estimates of the various department
heads submitted today to tbe speaker
OF the house by the secretary OF the
treasury. Tho amount does not IN
clude any provision for the postal serV-
ice, which is expected to be self sup
porting. and is an increase OF
S72,07iodS over the appropriations
made for the present year by the last
congress.
OF this increase $2S,3l2,220 appears
in the estimates Of the secretary of the
navy and 2o,597 ,297 represents the in
crease asked by the navy department
in the appropriations Tor building and
equipping new vessels. The estimates
would provide for three new battleships
TO be laid down during the year. This
would make mp for the lapse or one
ship from the two battleships a year
program caused by the action Of the
Democratic house IN providing for but
a single ship at the last session OF con-
cress.

ty. There are two or three offices
to fill where the democrats are
conceded to have a fine fighting
chance even in the face of the
big normal republican majority OF
nearly 600. But for the moree inn
portant offices, like the legislature
the assessor and the sheriff, no one
believes they are in sight of win
ming 1t is given out as an inside
prediction from democratic head
quarters that one commissioner and
the school superintendent are all
they expect to elect This is mere
ly repeated as campaign gossip, tho
it comes so closely from headquar-
ters that it should be true 1t is
far more probable that, of the two
offices they may get, the other will
be the probate judge, with fair
chance for attorney In these Of
fices they are conceded to be MAX
ing the hardest fight.

about two weeks to complete setting

Lincoln County captured the big
sweepstakes prize for the best agrl-
cultural exhibit at the state fair
at Boise last week, duplicating the
record of last year when the same
prize was won The Idaho Irriga-
tion co. and the North Side exhibits
were put in together for the county
contest, and from the moment the
stuff was unpacked theree was no
doubt as to where the award would
go. Adams county took the second
prize.
While the North Side had a much
larger showing than was made by
this part of the county, it was not
better, nor so well prepared; SO the
victory is ours as much as theirs.
Here are some of the individual
prizes awarded residents from this
section:
Alfalfa, first. scoring s5 out of a
possible 100.
Hulled barley, first.

Senior Senator From Idaho Gives Up
His Long, Weary Fight In the
Service of the State

seem small and narrow He was CT
the cid school OF politics, with
more than religious regard for par
ty rulee. The nation will never see
another such fanatical devotee to
political partisanship; with his in
tense, bcld nature. he could not be
Otherwise. His courage led him
into the strangest. most Quixotic
adventures, such as his protest ct
the placing of the Lee statue In
Statuary Hall in the capitol at Wash

icnal tents to the Confederate vet
Grams for their reunion, and his
revolt at the playing of Dixie" at
a republican banquet here in Idaho.
Almost his last words, a letter to
friend in Boise, written when he
was little better than a dead man,
of the growing tendency to break
away from the cid party lines; 1t
is almost a dead mans curse. But
for all that Senator Hepburn has
for years been far from The peo-
pies manner of thought, from their
heart and confidence and sympathy,
he has worked himself into his
grave for the public service. He
was farther from the growing Amer
