two knife wounds, one of which
penetrated his lungs. The others
engaged in the fight were Harvey
and Lloyd Tucker, both about the
age of the deceased and the trouble
is reported tc have arisen over an
old grudge. We understand that
Harvey Tucker has been placed

country. The funeral was held at
3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and
intefment took place at Union

The New Congressional Appointments.


tionment of congressional repre-
sentation, based on the new popu
lation figures. The constitution
provided that there should not be
more than one representative for
10000 inhabitants, except that
each state should have at least one
member. even if her population
should be less than the required
standard. By 1910 the ratio hao
increased to one for each $4,000
by 1850 one to each $4,000, by
1880 one to l52, 900, by 1900
one ] Cd, 1872. and under the census
of / $40 it will be one to 212,4OZ
Thus now the people have only
one-seventh the representation il,
congress they had in 100, although
in this interval the number of
members has increased from 65 to
435. If we had the same ratio
that was observed when the con-
stitution was adopted there would
have to be about 800 members
in congress. AS the country grows
in population it is necessary to re-
duce the ratio in order to prevent
the house from becoming too IN
Wleldy. Even now, with 3ol
members. it is too large to be eff
ficlent and the public business has
to be done mainly by committees
and groups of leaders, In the
next congress there will be 435
members and the conditions will be
still worse. However, the parlia-
ments of other leading countries
are mostly larger than our con-
gress and they manage to legis-
late.
III 1i q liCW dppOl Will
ment the design is to adopt a COM
promise ratio which shall not
deprive any state of any of its ex-
listing representation. If the house
/ had been kept down to the present
number this time. for example.
some of the states which have not
been growing rapidly would have
actually lost some of their repre-
sentatives. which would have been
given to the states that grew fas-
ter. The number 1856 Just filled
the bill. The apportionment act
itself names the figure 455 but
provides that Arizona and New
Mexico should each have one when
admitted, making AS in all
The number of votes in the cleo
torial college this time-with one
elector for each senator and repre-
sentative was 483. Under the
new apportonment it would be
$50, which would make 26z nee
essary to choice. The constitu-
ton says that each state shall "ap-
point a number of electors equal to
the whole number Of senator's and
representative to which the state
may be entitled in the congress-
Now the question arises. shall the
electoral college this year be based
on the apportlonment at present in
force. or the new one? Does the
phrase may be entitled refer to
what the state has at this time. or
to what it will be entitled to have
when the new reapportionment has
taken effect? 1t was proposed in
congress recently that new appor-
tionment should government, but
this proposition was not approved
Therefore, unless there is further
:. action. the old appoftionment. IN
der the census of 300, will deter
mine the number of electors. which
will remain as at the last presi-
dental election, namely 483.
However it is likely that congress
will direct the apportionment to be
followed nevertheless, as this was
what was done in 1892 under
Identical conditions.

large block of stock in the Easter
Gold Mining & Milling Co., are in
town to arrange for developing the
Easter mine at Pearl with the OBJ
ject of determining whether the
mine possesses sufficient ore values
to warrant complete development.
If it does, the stockholders ara
ready to furnish the necessary
funds; if it does net, then the
property will be abandoned.
While the gentlemen are here
primarily to do the assC ssment
work, they will not stop at that.
but will do sufficient work to test
the extent and values of the ore
bodies. The mine has laid idle
fer a number of years. The main
tunnel has caved in. This will
be cleaned out and the tunnel
continued until the ledge is cut.
Supplies for the camps are being
bought today and Mr.. Smith and
Mr.. Berger, together with S. B.
CalleIder, will leave tomorrow to
begin operations.
The late o. N. Calender was
president of the Easter company.
and E. B. Smith OF Lexington, Neb..

president. Many Emmett people
are numbered among the stockhold>
ers. The mine is equipped with a

PUT GOSPEL
BEFORE CREED
Four Profestabnt Churches af Alma,
Mo-, Uni-e in One.

Alma, Mo-, Dec. 22.-An expert
ment which should be of interest to
every "oyerchurt he'd" country town
and community is TO be tried here.
AS a result of several NEE ings held
here recently, the Presbyterian s,
Methodists, Baptists and Campbell
ties have decided to unite in one
congregation and support nom
sectarian church.
Alma is in a rich farming COM
munity largely settled by Germans
The Germans have prosperous
churches in which all the services
are in their language, but none OF
the English speaking congregations
are strong enough to keep up an
institution of its own. The Pres
byterians tried it but failed, and
none of the others has been able
to have any but infrequent mission
services. By combining, however,
the members of the lour dencmina-
tions will have a good sized and
financially responsible Congreg alton
They have organized and are work
ing out the details of plan which
seems to be assured Of at least t m
porary success. All the combining
denominations will be represented
on the governing board of the new
church. This beard will employ
minister who will preach the gospel,
but all sectarian teachings will be
avoided, both in the church and
the Sunday school. Nothing Of
fensive to any of the sects will
enter into the service. Members of
the church will not be expected to
give up their allegiance to their
present churches, but are asked
to bring letters from them to the
new church. Those who join the
church will have their choice of
procedures Baptists, for instance,
will be immersed, while those
who do not favor immersion will
be allowed the form of ceremony
they desire.

A NIGHT
"A Program of Boxing and Wrest-
ling Arranged for Next Week.

A Ground boxing match and two
wrestling bouts, in which local
performers will participate, is the
program of sport arranged for next
Thursday evening in Pleasure Club
hall.
The boxing match will be be-
tween Sam Mcmillan, the black
smith, and Philip Barkley of Salt
Lake, who is an employe of the
telephone company. Rarkley is said
to be very clever. This will be
peliminay to the wrestling match
in which Clyde Nye will defend his
title of champion of the city against
Dave Gilmore, and Carl Dedman
will take on young Al White.
The Nye-Gilmore bout will be
three rounds, pin holds, strangle
holds barred The Dedman-White
bout will go only one round. John
McNish will act as referee.
This promises to be an inter-
esting event, and will undoubtedly
attract a large crowd.

But it is not only eggs and
butter that will go by mail under
the new parcels post. If you want
a jar of preserves, or honey, or a
pair of chickens, or anything else
that weighs no more than eleven
pounds it may go by parcels post.
1t is likely that under the new par

ping direct from the farm to the
consumer in the city will be car
ried on Systematically. 1t is so
in England, in South Africa and in
Germany, where they have had the
