DIRECT ELECTION OF SENATORS 5

The House of Representatives on
Monday adopted the Joint resolu-
ton providing for the election of
Senators by direct vote of the peo-
pie. This resolution has already
passed the Senate and all that re-
mains to bc done is the signing of
the measure by the President and
the issuing Of Il proclamation Ia the
states for the ratification tf the
same.
The final ratification of this meas
ure by both branches Of congress
can be more fully appreciated when
it is stated that the first step toward
the election OF senators by the pro-
pie was taken by congress in 1926,
from which time attempts have
been repeatedly made to make the
senate Il popular body and have il
/ lntnlbtf~ cltcteu lllc same IL tllt
house. Resolution after resolution
have been presented, which have
either died in the hands of the com
mittee or have otherwise been side
tracked. The resolution as passed
on Monday was presented 10y Sen
ator Bri-tow, of Kansas, in 1911
and ha, been in the hands of TN,
house conference committee sine,
July Of last year. The resolution
calls for Federal supervision Of thes,
elections, which was sufficient t'
call forth considerable opposition
from the southern members.

The settlers on the Salmon River
tract held very interesting meet
ing at Hollister on the first, and dis
cussed many matters of vital inter
est not only To themselves, but Ia
other Carey act cntrymen. The
question of interest payments
brought forth general discussion,
rs under the recent rulings of the
courts, the settlers are demanding
waiver of the l9l interest. Def
mite action was deferred however,
until such q time ~ MIR. Mac
Waters could meet with the AsSo-
citation, when the question could he
discussed more intelligcntly. This
same question has been presented
to General Manager MacWatter'
by the Board of Directors of the
North Side Canal Users Association
who contend that the non-dclivcrN
of water for entire irrigating seasoi
IN 1909 and 1910 invalidates the
interest payment for the years fol
lowing. This question has thus fal
been avoided by the company man
ager and it is more than likely tina
a suit will be instituted TO test on
the validity of the interest payment
tor 1910 and 1911.

SURPRISED AT RESULTS.

Dalrymcn and other stock grow
rr- nf the east are more than sur
pri-cl at the results obtained from
feeding Idaho alfalfa. One of the
most cntcrpriSing hay buyers on
the South Side says that the past
winter has demonstrated to the
lairvman i'm the east that alfalfa
hay j. the best feed they can buy
for dairy COWS, and lac believes it
will to large extent displacc other
feeds. One of li- customers who
in former seasons has been feeding
timothy hay and shorts found that
10y feeding alfalfa lac could dispense
with the -hor-. Hereafter th-
man will sell hi- timothy in horse
feeding markets and buy alfalfa for
his dairy herd, and will make mon
cy on the Transaction.
The dairymcn of Idaho have dcm-
onstratcl that luttcr fat can Ice pro-
duccd from alfalfa feed at cost of
about , cents per pound, while in
dairy states of the Mississippi valley

the apple episode.
lery, run by Otto spaff, at the north
east corner of Washington and Water
streets.
Having travelled with Z. Wild West
show in his youth, Mr.. Tell has
fancy line Of trick crossbow shots up
his sleeve and naturally he likes to air
them for the admiration Of his fellow
men. He rang the bulls eye so many
times that he took over Spaff's entire
line Of La Dopedura cigars. Not
being a smoker himself he gave the
stoeies to the crowd, which did not
tend to diminish their applause and
shouts when he made an unusually
good shot. '
Gov, Gessler happened to be pass
ing through the square at the time.
The probabilities are that he was on
his way to snatch the bread from the
| m o,th of some widows and orphans.
He had Just swiped large Ben Davis
ample from the old crippled woman
who keeps a fruit stand near the city
hall. Hearing the cheers in the shoot
ing gallery and being opposed to all
cheers not directed at himself, the
Governor galloped over to see what
was doing He elbowed his way
through the crowd without saying
| pardon me" to any Of the men he
| 1ostled. The Governor has pair of
unusually sharp and offensive elbows.

put 1t in a ring at first, but they kick
ed it about so much that he had 10
hang it off the ground.
Mr.. Tell came out last, leading his
son. who was absorbed in stick OF
striped peppermint candy, by the
hand. Gessler watched to see what
Mr.. Tell would do about the hat. ne
got an eye full all right. AS Tell
saw the old derby, he reached up to
his cap and-pulled it on tighter.
The Governor made jump for him
and grabbed him by the back OF his
suspenders.
Here" he growled, and pointed to
the hat on the post.
|, well, WE'LL" said Mr.. Tell with
elaborate surprise. whats that NANCY
headpiece roosting up there for? l
didn't think you folks here In town
would have any use for scarecrows.
I wonder where they picked up such
a flea bitten disgrace of the hat tribe
I never saw q worse one In my long
life."
Can that" commanded tho Gov
ernor, whose temper was fast Slip
ping, Tip your hat to that hard boiled
lid of mine, and act as though 1t was
the lady you are in love with"
Tell pulled his cap down on his
head tighter and refused to obey. He
stamped to emphasize his refusal. and
in doing 50 came down on the foot
of the Governor, who wears his shoes
too small and whose toes sport very
fine collection of corns and bunions.
William, Jr., had finished the candy
by this time and he butted IN with
the filial suggestion that his father
paste the fat man one in the eye"
Gessler looked at the youth and then
at the apple he still held In his hand.
For your lip" he said to Tell, I'll
give you the choice of two punish
ments: I'll send you up the river for
eighty-flve years on the penitentiary
rock pile or you will shoot this apple
from the head Of the boy from across
the market place. Since you are such
Is chance for you to let the people
get a look at you in action"
Mr.. Tell, at the suggestion Of his
brave son, chose the pippin test. The
Governor then decided that the apple
he held was too large and crossed
over to swipe the smallest in the
WnOle cOlleCIlOn OIL tne Crippled ITulI
seller. In measuring off the distance
he stretched the tape until It broke,
and in placing the apple on the boys
head he kept up running fire OF
chronological cracks about it being the
worst looking conk he had ever seen
on a lad that age. and predicted that
he would grow up to be senator.
Instead of giving Mr.. Tell a sports
man-like silence, he stood just back
Of him, making continuous remarks,
such as:
You can't hit that apple in thou
sand years-not In thousand years!
You couldn't hit flock Of warehouse
doors with a handful of bird shot!
Miss it!'
In spite Of this the arrow went true,
splitting the apple exactly in half.
