NAIL SERVICE FOR
TOWNS ON EXTENSION
OF IDAHO NORTHERN

The towns between Emmett and
Horseshoe Bend will have direct mail
service over the Idaho Northern road
within the next month. The post office
department has begun it's extension
work and will, within the next 80 days,
send all of the mail by rail instead of
on the stage as 1t has been going
through this district.
AS rapidly as the new line is COM
pleted toward Mccall on the Payette
Lakes, the mail service of the govern
ment will be extended by the depart
ment. Until the road is completed,
however. the towns that are scattered
along the line will be served from the
nearest terminal point Of the road by
stage.
Montour and Smiths Ferry will be
among the places that will receive their
mail on the road hereafter. 1t will give
better and quicker service and will en-
able patrons of the office to receive
their letters in much less time than has
been the case heretofore. The terminal
point Of the railroad will be at Smiths
Ferry for the winter and mail will be
carried by the company to that point
for distribution.

Use Of PARCELS
POST GENERAL
IS PREDICTION
More Carriers Will Be
Needed at the Local Office
When New Law Goes Into
Effect.

The parcels post will become one OF
the biggest factors for the wholesale
houses of the northwest. The post
Office officials have already heard that
several of the biggest houses are PLAN
ming to use the mails for the delivery
of all Of their packages and that city
deliveries for most of the goods will
be eliminated.
Instead of sending wagons around
through the city with the goods that
have been ordered, the wholesalers
will send their parcels through the
mall. The greatest percentage of
packages that are SEN out weigh less
than IL pounds and could easily be
carried under the new parcels post law.
Suits of clothes, bags of coffee. hats,
dresses, shoes, in fact everything that
is usually bought at stores and deliv-
cred by the wagons will now be sent
through the mails and delivered by the
government carriers.
The first and biggest zone of the en-
tire plan will he that served by the city
and rural carriers. A package weigh
ing IL pounds can be sent out by =,
store for less than it can be delivered.

thorough knowledge Of Mr.. Wallis that
saved such errors in the enactment OF
measures. This is why 1t is taken for
granted that there will be but the one
candidate for this position.
1t is also pointed out that Mr.. Wallis
thorough familiarity with the duties of
the position can be utilized by the
house to save considerable expense by
way of employment of clerks. This
point became so evident after the first
few days of the session two years ago,
that the matter of employing clerks
was placed entirely in the hands of
Mr.. Wallis. Such an act at the very
beginning of the next session, 1t is

The stores now figure that they can

In order to handle the immense vol
ume Of business that will necessarily
accumulate at the Boise office wheT
this law goes into effect ian. !. the de-
partment will have to put on severa
extra carriers and will equip them with
wagons In the same way that the rura
carriers are now generally supplied. II
will increase the office force at the
Boise station and will mean that sew
eral men will have to be detailed to
handle parcels alone.
The rural carriers will take their
supplies in the wagons when they start
out in the morning from the office here

as high as II pounds and will have to

preme court to declare them unconsti-
tutional because not passed in accord :
ance with constitutional procedure.
1t is not claimed by Mr.. Wallis
friends that there is no one else in the
state capable of serving as chief clerk !;
on the contrary they admit that there
are probably dozens of them, but
they claim that none of them have had
the experience that Mr.. Wallis has had

Be But TWO
CANDIDATES FOR
PLACE IN SENATE
James II. Wallis Will Prob
ably Be Chief Clerk of the
House, as Demand for Him
Is General.

So far as known there will be but two
candidates for secretary of the senate
and but one candidate for chief clerk of
the house of representatives at the ap-
preaching session of the Legislature.
The two candidates for secretary II
the senate will be Charles Dempster of
Bannock county and Charles ]. Lisle
of Lincoln county.
Announcement was made few days
ago that James H. Wallis would be a
candidate for secretary of the senate,
but this was unauthorized and was
not correct. Mr.. Wallis will be can
didate for chief clerk of the house. a
position for which his services are
demanded by all former members of
the legislature who realize how val
liable to that body his services have
been in the past.
1t Is pointed out by former men,
bers of the house who have had oc-
casion to know and understand the
service of Mr.. Wallis that his services
would be worth 20 days Of the session
to that body over those Of any mex
perienced chief clerk. In other words.
Mr.. Wallis has such thorough knowl-
tine necessary to the enactment Of bills
and OF the technical points, to be OBJ
served in such proceedings. II 10 pointed
out by those former members. that not
only can he expedite the work Of the
legislature equivalent to one-third OF
the time Of that body, but he can also
protect the passage of measures so az
to avoid technical errors that would

claimed, would probably result in a
saving of nearly one-half the usual ex-
pense Of clerk hire in the house-a
considerable proportion of the expense
of that body.
Mr.. Dempster was secretary Of the
senate at the last session of the leg
islature and his services, 1t Is under
stood, gave entire satisfaction. Mr..
Isle was assistant secretary Of the
same body two years ago and his serv-
ices were likewise entirely satisfactory.
Both are recognized as possessing the
requisite experience and qualifications
for the position and it Is expected that
there will be nice little friendly con-
test between the two for the place.

Be Equally Divided on Subject Of

sal and One on the Fence.
Washington, Feb. 10.-After drag
ging along dismally since last June,
the Lorimer investigation came to an
end. The closing of the case brought
relief not only to members of the in
vestigating committee, but to sena-
tors generally.
II looks now an IL the subcommit-
tee Of the senate committee on priv
ileges and elections, which conducted
the investigation, will be about
equally divided. Although nothing
definite Is known, the tenor Of the
questions put to witnesses in the last
few weeks has indicated that Sena-
tors Kenyon, Kern and Lea are
against Lorimer and Senators Dill
Lngham, Gamble. Johnson and
Fletcher are In favor of him. The
belief is expressed that Senator
Jones Of Washington is in doubt.
Dillingham;, Gamble, Johnson and
Fletcher were members OF the old
senate committee on privileges and
elections which cleared Lorimer.
Took Conversation Over Dietagraph.
]. A. Sheridan, the Burns stenogra'
pher, was required by the committee
&c give a physical demonstration OF
his capacity to take conversation
over the dictagraph under the cir
cumstances which are alleged to
have surrounded his performance in
the hotel at Toronto. After this per
insisted that Sheridan had fallen
down and the antiLorimer side de
clared he had given an impressive
exhibition of skill.
The members of the committee
were plainly skeptical as to the value
OF Sheridans dictagraph perform
ence, and that was the opinion oi
EIost of the people in the committed
room who heard the reading of the
report which he took over the dicta
graph.
Members of the senate committe,

night to the Union Station of the

questioning her as to her business
there, took her from the motor car,
turned her across his knee and admin.

motherly spanking that 1t resulted in
deep humiliation to her before her
friends. She also declared that her
husband took her out for ride one
night in his own automobile and in.
veigled her from the comforts thereof
and carried out similar procedure

Mrs, Koehne also alleged that the
doctor took her blue diamond engage
ment ring, worth $4,000, tearing II
from her finger, after whipping her
before he put her back in the automo

trated with grief as the result of a

companion, Jocko, five.year-old mon
key. Physicians say that Mrs. Lincoln
may recover, but will never be the

Mrs. Lincoln declares that her dear
pet Jocko" met his tragic death as
the result of jealousy on the part of
Pigawig, fourteen-pound porker, that
Pigawig always was Jealous of Jocko
and always was waiting for chance
to eat him up.
The chance came last evening, she
says, when Pigawig deliberately con.
cealed himself under her bed, and as
she fell into q doze stealthily crept
up on the bed where she lay, with
Jocko in her arms, and ate up JockQ
In two gulps, and then, jumping to
the floor, wormed and squirmed and

pearing down His Pigship's esophagus
