ARE
ENcAc[DlN VERY
LIVELY BATTLE
Factions Are Struggling for
Supremacy in the Matter
of Federal Patronage
Both Seem Confident.

The federal pie counter in Idaho
has a hungry line Of Democrats before
It watching with 'expectant eyes and
pulling every possible wire to secure
their share Of patronage. They are all
the "original' Wilson men now. but
they are. divided into the two factions
in the party, the Hawley-Dubois-P Perky
and thes Nugent- Pence Kinyon. both
of which seek to serve from behind
the counter and serve the more gem
erous slices to their supporters.
There Is more maneuvering going on
in the Democratic party just at the
present time among thes5 leaders and
their supporters, than there has been
for many years. Having been out OF
power for so long the Idaho Democrats
are inspired with hopes,
Take Trail to Washington.
Democratic leaders have not in the
past and do nots now propose TO con-
fine their efforts within the state.
They have already taken the trail d.
rect to Washington and carried their
offerings with them. John F. Nugent,
former state chairman, leader of the
Nugent- Pence Kinyon faction, accom-
panied by. j. T. Pence. hotfooted It to
the national capital first. Having as
sured themselves that 1t would be wise
to be in on the ground floor they
moved A conference followed in
Washington.
Discussed Pic Counter.
That the federal pie counter in Idaho
was the main subject discussed by
Messrs. Nugent and Pence in the Dis
trict Of Columbia Is wen known. Both
were prominent in the fight here in
behalf of the president ELECT. They
let that be known to the powers that
be and they gave them to understand
they expected to be consulted with ref
erence to the service of federal
patronage. Just how well they sue
ceeded remains to be seen. That they
arr entirely satisfied with their mission
L. well known. When they returned
to Boise they certainly looked salts
fled. Some of the choicest federal
piums will bear the Nugent- Pence
Kinyon stamp. These will probably
include United States district attorney
and United States marshal, either Mr.
Nugent or Frank L. Moore Of Moscow
taking charge of the federal legal de-
nho"H -
be q rival of State Chairman Gray fol
United States marshal, stepping into
that office. They expect also to have
something to say about the other ap.
pointments.
Having refused United States sen.
atorship when he had 1t in his grasI
and had once agreed to take It, through
an appointment Of the Republican lieu
tenant governor. Governor Hawle1
passed 1t on to his old friend. Kirt
land L Perky. who is now a member
OF the upper house Of ccngr ,ss He Il
greatly interested in the same phi
counter and having once been United
States district attorney during tn,
Cleveland administration, he realizes
the value attached to having the RICH
kind of Democrats~in Boise. To ge
them there Democratic senator VIII,
IL friendly might help things along.

IL claimed BY the wise ones within the
Democratic ranks here.
Want National Patronage.
Tho trail OF Nugent and Pence had
hardly grown cold before Governor
Hawley took It to Washington. Sen
ator Perky preceded him. The two met
at the national capital and both are
there today. Already they have held
a conferences with Fred T. Dubois who
took the same route overland. They
also discussed the Idaho federal pie
counter and the prospects of properly
distributing the patronage. Conf
Dental information to their friends and
followers here indicate they, too. are
satisfied with the outlook.
The Hawley- Dubois Perky wing Of
the party may strike slikhtly shisher
than to secure state patronage and It
is said on tho best authority BY their
friends here, they will endeavor to land
Governor Hawley as secretary Of the
interior The hackers of Governor
Hawley believe that he may secure the
.taunch support OF ex-senator Dubois
for that post, while the Dubois people
believe that the governor will back the
Ex-senator for the same office. Strong
pressure has been brought to bear on
Democratic national leaders to influ-
ence the president elect to select
western man as secretary Of the in
terror, and as both Governor Hawley
and ex-United States Senator Dubois
are from Idaho they have strong back
ing. Ben r. Gray. state chairman, Is
their candidate for United States
marshal and other strong party men
will be pushed forward for federal ap-
pointments here.
Senator Perky Has Influence.
Senator Perky Is close personal
friend of william Jennings Bryan and
The Idaho Democrats classed with the
Haw ey- Dubois Perky wing of the
parry, pin their faith to the influence
the great commoner will have with the
II esident- elect. They believe that
whatever Senators Dubois and Perky
and Governor Hawley recommend
with regard to the distribution Of the
Idaho federal patronage will 60. In the
meantime, a host Of Democrats are
waiting expectantly for concrete re-
suits. ~

Senator Borah will be called upon &c
name their successors. He will prob
ably recommend Marshal Hodgin, but
as District Attorney Lingenfelter an
nounced some time ago he would not

| will recommend a. successor to hin

sistant district attorney. This ap.
pointment will be largely honorary due
to the fact the president-elect will re-
fill all federal offices Immediately fol

Never was the power of the human
intellect better displayed than in the
forecast which. the great French natur-
alist Culver made concerning the for
ner existence of gigantic reptiles, such
as the dinosaurs. Cuvier declared, as
the result Of his studies, that there
had been a period when our planet was
inhabited by reptiles of an appalling
magnitude" possessing many of the
features of modern quadrupeos. Al
most nobody believed him. People
thought he was drawing too much up
on his imagination But he knew that
the imagination. when kept under
proper control. is the surest guide to
new knowledge, and it was not long
before discoveries were made which
fully established the truth of his
opinion. and then all men of science
recognized the fact that there had
been an age of reptiles" 1t was dur
ing this age that the dinosaurs flour
ished. and every stroke of the pick
disclosing a giant skeleton in the dig
gings near Halberstadt is a fresh con-
firmation of the foresight of Cuvier.

chapter in the history of the earth

Let US consider the dinosaur. He

little lizard of our day Sometimes, in
some of his forms. he attained an al
most unbelievable stature. The diplo-

feet tall Others were probably as

size, but always terrible in appear
ance. were scattered widely over the
earth IN very ancient times. They
have been found in America, Europe
and Africa, but as far as we know at
present, the American species held the
precedence in size.
But so much would not be gained
for knowledge if the paleontolOgists
were content simply to dig out the re-
mains of these tremendous beasts, ana
to put their skeletons together and set
them up to be gazed at in museums.
The most astonishing discoveries have
been made by studying their structure
and comparing it with that of other
animals Thus it was found that
some of these gigantic. creatures were
apparently predecessors of the bird.
Some of them had feet like those OF
birds. Others bore many resemblances
to the modern ostrich. Afterward
there arose species of birds which bad
jaws and teeth, showing their reptiIian
origin.
One of the most significant facts
about the dinosaurs is that some of
the largest of them had bones filled
with cavities the apparent reason for
which was to insure relative lightness
together with strength. Nature knew
the great strength of a hollow tube
before man had reasoned it out \
dinoSaur with hollow bones could
grow to a great size without becOm-
ing so weighty that he could not run.
Some scientists believe that the run
ming birds of today were derived
from some of these creatures, The
real flying dragons of ancient times
(and the remains of some have been
found in the rOcks) were not of great
size-but their ancestors may have
been veritable giants, though unable
TO lift themselves from the ground
One of the things which most
strikes the mind in studying these
creatures of the past is the evidence
