The Navy.

1t is Senate against House now in the
matter of new battleships. The Senate.
by more than three to one. has voted for
two. The House. by a narrow majority,
obtained only after a hard struggle, has
voted for one. A conference must settle
the dispute.
An examination of the Senate vote is
interesting. though it may not be espe-
cially illuminating. Mr.. Martin, who is
surrendering the democratic leadership,
voted for two ships. So did Mr.. MARITIME.
who comes from Mr.. Wilson'S state of
New Jersey, and stands close to Mr..
Wilson. Mr. Kern, the new Senate lead
er, and his colleague, Mr.. Shively. who
come from Mr.. Marshalfs state of In
diana, and Mr.. Smith of Georgia, slated
for much prominence and influence after
the 4th, voted for one ship.
If the Senate in conference yields and
only one ship is authorized. the result
will not be a triumph for economy. That
cry, so far as relating to the navy, has
been a pretense. But nobody has been
deceived With millions going for public
buildings, and many more millions for
rivers and harbors. all parceled out to
forward the political fortunes of those
as respects the navy has caused either
amusement or Indignation.
But however the present contest re-
sults-for one ship or two-the question
of the navy-its size and the govern
ment's full purposes with regard to it
must come promptly before the new ad-
ministration Next winter, with the dem
ocrats in full control of Congress. the
preparation of the naval bill will afford
opportunity for the making of record.
The Baltimore platform declared for
IAN adequate and well proportioned navy.
sufficient to defend American policies,
protect our citizens and UPHOLD the honor
and dignity of the nation" A good
specimen of glittering generality, and
valuable in a campaign where particulars
are not desirable.
But particulars are necessary in the
drafting of legislation, and when the next
naval bill is put on the stocks, reasons
must be given for putting things in, or
for keeping things out. 1t will have to
be stated what our policies are which
call for power on the water, and where
by such means.
Mr.. Wilson has yet to express him
self on this as some other issues con-
tanned in the Baltimore chart. At the
outset at least his words should carry
much weight with Congress; and if he
advises a liberal support Of the navy we
shall probably see such supplies pro-
vided AS New Jersey looks out on the
ocean he may see this question through

Congress and Executive.
From the New York Tribune

good many democratic senator's and
representatives have been unnerved by
nv Wilson'S hint that he will probably
find frequent use for the Presidents room
at the Capitol They think that he will
make them a little ridiculous If he pays
them informal visits TO talk over legisla-
ton. The legislative branch is very jeal-
ous Of executive encroachment Senators
and representatives are willing to go to
the White House and discuss legislation.
since they can always save appearances
mend appointees or to do other errands
for their constituents. But an open con-
fession of the executive collaboration in
the details of lawmaking would sOrely
wound congressional self-esteem.

OFFICERS OF COMMISSION.
Pocatello Tribune.

While it had been figured for some
time that D. w. Standrod, the long
term member of the public utilities
commission, would be selected as
president of that body, it appears that
affairs shaped differently at Boise,
and the Judge doubtless engineered
the matter.
John A. Blomquist, the short term
commissioner, was elected president
and Axel P. Ramstedt was elected
oh airman of the tax commission.
Commissioner Blomquist was also
elected secretary Of the latter commits
sion. The secretary of the public
utilities commission is still to be
elected. There are Is applications
for the position before the commiss-
ion including those of many men of
prominence in this state. The COM
mission may disqualify many of the
applicants by demanding that they
have qualifications on rates, for a
great amount, of work to be handled
by the commissioners will have to be
taken care of by men who are more
or less rate experts. The head of
the public utilities commission is des-
ignated as president instead of
chairman as is the case in the tax
commission.

will move into it's quarters on the

AUSTRALIA SENDS BEEF.

hundred thousand pounds of frozen
beef and mutton, the first shipment
of its kind to the Pacific coast, landed
here to-day.
The meat was sold in Australia
with the understanding that only a
nominal profit should be made here.
If the agreemnt is violated, Austria
liz will ship direct eliminating the
midddleman's profit, and assuming
all risk. An immediate fall in prices
is expected. Pacific coast states eat
meat raised west of the Rocky mount
aims, and comparative tables show
that the average prices are higher
than in Chicago. In effort to mark
down the card, the independent deal
ers have arranged for shipment.

manent that it has placed orders for

clusively for the San Francisco run.

GREAT OAKLEY PROJECT.
Statesman.

The last of the large irrigation en-
terprises on the Twin Falls tract was
completed Tuesday when water was
turned on to the Oakley project, put
ting 10000 acres of land under irri-
cation.
The project was commenced three
years ago and consists of an earth
en- dam, one Of the highest Of its
kind in the world. 145 feet, which
helps to form the reservoir. Before
the water was turned into the can
ais 10000 acre feet of water were
impounded in the Oakley reservoir,
irsuring an ample supply for the sea-
son.
The tract which this water will ir-
rigate comprises 10000 acres, 49,
900 of which are old cultivated farms
the other 10000 in Carey act land
1t has all been taken up.
One of the strong recommendations
for putting this tract under cultiva-
tion came from the sugar beet peo-
pie who built their factory at Bur-
ley, at the north end Of the tract. The
land is level and requires less pre-
paration for cultivation than any 9TH
er place of Twin Falls tract, besides
being soil of unsual fertility. a
The tract is triangular in shape,
with Oakley on the south and Burley
and Miner near the north. Four
years ago Oakley was small town
miles from the railroad and sur
rounded by small district Of from
5000 to 5000 acres of irrigated land
It now has two railroads, one from
Burley and one from Miner and is
surrounded by 10000 of irrigated
land.
