The season will open May and close

looked upon with disfavor and an effort
made to cut out these bad features
which are detrimental to the game as

decided that Grangeville boys are to be

ASSESSORS MEETING.
Legislators are Rounday Scored fol
Lax Methods.

The members of the Twelfth Idaho
legislature were bitterly scored, the
members of the senate coming in par.
ticularly for severe grilling, by John
ID. Robertson, tax expert, during the
closing hours of the state assessors
meeting this morning, the denuucia-
tion being delivered in the senate
chamber, in which the assessors have
been working for two days and half
trying to familiarize themselves with
the new revenue law but in which the
senate passed the same law in less
than an hours deliberatiOn. The
statements of the tax expert were re-
ceived with vigorous and prolonged
applause by the assessors assembled.
Later, and after resolutions had been
passed commenting the tax experts
for the new revenue law, the cOnven-
tion adjourned.
81 want to call your attention to the
kind of men you sent to the last leg
islature and the way in which they
received and treated this revenue law, -
declared Mr.. Robertson as he faced the
assessors and proceeded this morning to
score the members of the Twelfth ses-
sion. "There was not one of them who
appeared before the tax commission to
look into the merits of this bill. Some
of the members of the committee never
showed up to go over its terms. When
this measure came into the senate for
consideration the senators were asked
if they had even read the measure, and
finally those who had were asked to
raise their hands. Three hands went
up. The balance of the legislators had
not even read the bill. Yet they passed
It within an hours time. Yes, l can
say now that some of those who voted
against the bill, had not even read It.
They never gave thought to the con-
sideration the commission Of which l
am a member, worked and studied on
this. bill. Those are the kind Of men
that you have sent here to make the
laws of the state of Idaho. '-Capital

DIED ALONG THE ROADSIDE.
J. E. Beede, an Old Timer Pound in
Dying Condition Tuesday Afternoon.

J. +. Beede, and old time resident of
the Clearwater section, was found in a
dying condition along the public high
way near the Nine Pine school house
Monday afternoon. 1t seems the old
gentleman, who is eighty six years of
age and quite feeble, had secured a de-
lapidated hack Of one of the neighbors
and was taking the same to a near by
blacksmith shop to have it repaired pre-.
paratory to using in his trips over the
country vending medicines, when he be-
came exausted and sat down by the
roadside. He was discovered by a pas
serby who judged he was dead and re-
ported such as the case from Sites. At
the request of the sheriff q neighbor
was dispatched to the scene and arrived
just as the spark was Pickering out,
death no doubt being due to complete
physical exhaustion. The body was
taken in charge by Undertaken Hancock
who prepared it for burial and was
taken to Harpster today by Surridge
Bros. who will arrange for the funeral.
The deceased came to this county
thirty some years ago and has made a
number of friends. The old gentleman
was never of the thrifty sort and while
life has been somewhat of a struggle
with him he has never grown bitter and
always had a cheerful word for all and
looked upon the brighter side of life.
He is of an excellent family and was
puite we'll educated. No known rela-
tives are in the west but is is said he
was an uncle Of Adam Beede, the
humorous Ninnesota congressman.

GREAT SUCCESS
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS
PROVE TALENTED.
THREE HOURS Of ENJOYMENT
Crowded House Qreets and Applauds
Players in tho English Comedy.
the Private Secretary

The senior class or more strictly
speaking the dramatic talent from the
senior and Junior classes of the local
high school, did themselves proud in the
amateur theatrical production given at
the local opera house last Thursday
evening. The young thespians were
greeted by house well filled with
appreciative people and while the play
was Of considerable length, the audience
never once lost interest in the piece or
failed to give credit where credit was
due. The Private Secretary, as the
piece was known, proved to be q laugh
provoking English comedy full of com
plications and amusing incidents.
The part Of Douglas Cattermole, a
young Britisher who found it necessary
to SOW his wild oats in order to retain
favor of stern old uncle, furnished an
excellent vehicle for the fine acting and
excellent Interpretation of character
which is possessed by Charles Brans-
combe who took that part. Roger Hill
as Gibson, impostor on the nobility,
was well fitted for this part and his
acting was all that could be desired.
Hill has the ease Of an old stage veteran
and was not the least embarrassed. Sam
Kennedy made a fine English gentle
man and Floyd Gilbert was all that
could be desired in the part of Harry
Marsland, the nephew. Clayton Gager,
who doubled in John servant and
Knox a writ server and while his was q
minor part and did not permit of much
acting, he is deserving of credit with
the others. A better selection than
William Williams for the character of
Mr. CattermOle could not have been
made. This young man appeared in the
play last year and on that occasion was
the recipient of many compliments. He
was good last year and much better
Thursday night. That fellow has much
natural ability and his presence on the
stage was always good for hearty laugh
and much applause from the audience.
Another young man who has more than
ordinary ability is Grin Riebold. This
young gentleman, too, appeared in the
class play year ago. He sustained his
character in a very creditable manner.
Misses Laura Lanningham and Sylvia
Parker had the parts of Edith Marsland
and Eva Webster and gave fine inter-
pretatiOns of these attractive charac-
ters. The selection of these two young
ladies for these characters was the ex-
ercising of excellent judgment on the
part of those who directed the play.
Letitia Frizell as Mrs. Strad, the land.
lady handled this character in a most
commendable manner and brought to it
everything that could be desired. Laura
Smith in the character of Miss Ashford,
the old spinster with the spiritualistic
craze was easy and natural at all times
and her stronger lines were given with
well judged effect.
The drilling and stage management
fell to Prof. Rice and the event proved
a triumph to him as well a. the talented
young ladies and gentlemen who took

bers of the different sections of the
| state from time to time. One was held
at Pocatello on Lincoln s birthday and
one was held at Caldwell recently when

designed for the especial benefit of
north Idaho members, still it is expected
that members of the party will be pre-

The call issue by the chairman is as
follows:
In pursuance of the plan previously
outlined for holding progressive meet
ings in every section of the state, the
date for the North Idaho Progressive
conference has been set for Saturday,

those who did not but will next time,

Work of Legislature.
At this meeting, a searching an
| alysis Of the work Of the last session
of the legislature will be made, among
other matters. l believe that every
fair-thinking man who calmly consid-
ers the legislative record of the Twelfth
session must be convinced that the
get-together" policy has been con-
demand at its first trial. l allude to
the efforts of those good but misguided
people who are persistently shouting
that the Republican party is progress
sive, and that the way to secure need
ed legislative reforms, is for the Pro-
gressives to unite with the old party,
and work out the salvation Of the ma
ZION on that plan. The Republican
party had an overwhelming majority in
the legislature, all elected as Repub-
licans. Among this number there were
doubtless few who supported the Pro-
gressive ticket, but it is absolutely fair
to judge the tendency Of the Republicn
party in Idaho today by the proceedings
of the Twelfth session. question
wheter there is anyone competent to
judge, who on this basis, will not con.
denim the Republican party in this state,
as now constituted, as reactionary to
the last degree. What was the fate Of

pressed will of the peoplei How Jared
