NO STATE OF LINCOLN YET
Attempt to Divide Idaho Defeated
in Legislature.

The attempt on the part OF the
north to cecede from the state OF
Idaho and become q part OF new
state to be formed from north Idaho
and eastern Washington was made in
the legislature at Boise March 6. aud
1t met with defeat. The attempt
came In the form OF joint memorial
TO the Washington legislature asking
that state to give its consent to the
separation Of its eastern counties and
expressing the sentiment OF the Idaho
legislature 10 favor OF the division.
The vote on the passage Of the
memorial was 20 to 35.
Every representative from the Dor
thern part Of the state as far south as
to include Idaho county, affixed his
signature to the memorial es one Of
its authors with the exception Of
Oversmith Of Latah, and he voted
for its final passage. Hunt Of FIRE.
mont was the only member from the
southern part Of the state who voted
for the memorial.
Koelsch o! Ada made a talk that
had much to do with the defeat Of
secession. Conner Of Bonner made
the statement tha: y the memorial
were passed it would not mean i'm
mediate division of the state. He
said that It would be at least 8 or 10
years before congress would authorize
the division.
KoeIsch took the opposite position.
He said that Ia his opinion IL the
memorial were passed by the Idaho
legislature and a similar one passed
in the Washington assembly the
division would be accomplished with.
in three years.
He went on to say that, while d.
vision would undoubtedly be good for
the territory included in the new
state, it would leave south Idaho a
struggling and impoverished common.

He quoted figures to show that the
present population Of Idaho Is 1885,.

The secretary of the department of
agriculture announces that the gov

Washington, D. c., March 10.
A half million visitors to Wash
ington feel that they are better
Americans because they saw the
inaugural. The great overawing
power Of it all is the manner in
which there was borne in upon the
comprehension the concrete actu-
ality of the strength, the power,
the bigness, Of all that we are apt
to think Of with a sort Of clouded
intelligence, as constituting this
United States. The crowds over
taxed the capital city, and there
were resulting discomforts affect
ing small sections, but everyone
had an opportunity to see the show,
and the greatest Of it all was the
parade. When a whole nation
gets busy, with rigid skilled CEN
sors to exclude all but the most
worthy, the parade is different"
The flower of the army and navy,
the pick of state troops led off by
their governors, the uniformed
legions of Princeton, Culver, Car
Isle, and many other great edu-
cational institutions, were in line.
Guady floats and crude contrivan-
ces were strictly minus, and the
wealth of robust, drilled men in
uniform, and dignitaries from
every section of the country, plus
the almost countless selected bands
;; and fife and drum corps, made up
line that for four hours passed

pied by the new President and

few really appreciate the things
the people exact of their retiring
Presidents, and the custom requir-
ing the retiring chief to ride back
