DOINGS In STATE
LEGISLATURE
Very Little Accomplished The First
Week.

The senatorial situation at
Boise is the main topic politically.
The fight of the selection of a
successor to the late Senator
Hepburn, has developed some
interesting complications, and at
present it is hard to prognosticate
who will be successful.
Little was accomplished the
first week of the twelfth session.
Most of the time was devoted to
milling" over the short term
senatorship. The cost to the
public, salaries alone, was around
$500. The two houses convened
Monday, Tuesday was "inaugu-
ration day." with the governors
message by day and the big ball
by night. The house organized
by electing Representative
French of Canyon, speaker, after
a committee on committees"
caucus and deal had resulted in
charges of bad faith. During
the week several bills were in
troduced. including the follow
ing: Public utilities with rail-
roads omitted, "blue sky" cor
poration act, dividing Lincoln
and Oneida into three counties
each, creating the tenth judicial
district out of Nez Perce, Idaho
and Lewis and the eleventh out
of Washington and Adams.
1t developed that state institu-
tions alone would ask for nearly
So, 100000. This, If granted,
together with the department
and judicial appropriations and
the amounts required to take
care of the various new judicial
districts, new commissions, etc. :,
would make the twelfth session
by far the most costly in the his
tory of the state. A rigorous re-
trenchment policy was indicated,
however.

Mr.. Follett and little Edward were
sitting meekly in the corner where
they had been placed by Mrs. Follett,
well out of the way of her evenings

logical labyrinth.
What does 'paternal grandmother
mean, grandpa?" he inquired, pausing
for breath.
"You look up paternal in the diction-

showed the book toward his grandson.

Fred Colgrove left last week
for Moscow where he will take a
short course at the university.
Frank Pickolick left last week
for an extended trip to outside
points.
Seth Calvin and Art Meyers
were in camp Thursday night on
their way to Elk. They had
quite an exciting adventure with
two cougars on the summit and
brought one hide with them to
show for it. There is a good
bounty on cougars, yet it is
doubtful whether the bounty can
be gotten on this one because the
front feet were not left in the
hide.
Ray Tobias and Ellwood Smith
came out from Big creek Friday,
and left for Clearwater Saturday
morning.
c. w. Everetts arrived in
camp last week to do assessment
on the Nezperce & Orogrande.
John Nielsen came out from

Orrin Lamb left on today's
stage for outside points to re-
main until the snow leaves the
vicinity of his cabin on the Dia
mond Hitch. He will also visi1

Facts Are Overlooked
In Contempt Case

The Imprisonment of the Boise
editors for contempt of court is
giving them a notoriety that is
not warranted by the facts.
People should at least become
, posted on the grounds for which
the contempt proceedings were
instituted before criticising. The
Grangeville Globe has the fol-
lowing:
lone thing noticeable in the
editorial criticisms of the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court in the
Boise Capital News contempt
case is the utter ignoring of the
vital point upon which the decis-
ion was founded. Every adverse
editorial lays down as the grounds
of it's complaint against the court
the charge that the offence COM
mitted by the Capital News was
plain and simple disagreement
with the courts decision, and leg
itimate criticism of the-same, and
that the court has attempted to
'-muzzle the press" Such q

MORE RAILROAD
SPECULATION
Looks Like There Will Be Consider.
able Activity This Year.

The reported sale of the Dewey
road, known as the Idaho North
ern, to the Oregon Short Line
has given rise to speculation as
to the probable activity of rail-
road construction within the
state during the new year, and
according to well founded ru-
mors current this morning, the
purchase of the Dewey road by
the Short Line is but the fore
runner of a period of activity in
construction that will ultimately
unite north and south Idaho by
an intra-state road and may like
wise mean the beginning of a
direct line from Boise to San
Francisco.
The Oregon Short Line has al
ready graded a line from Cald-
we'll to the new townsite of
Homedale, on the south bank of
the Snake river, where a juno
ton will be formed with the
Buhl-Nyssa cutoff. Rumor ha S
been current for som time to the
egect that the Caldwel1-HOme-
dale branch was but a small por-
ton of the projected line. and
persons in a position to know
have declared that the line will
be continued southwest from
Iomedale to Winnemucca. New,
where connection will be made
with the Southern Pacific to Cal
ifornia coast points.
The purchasing of the Dewey
road is believed to be another
step in the linking Of a nearly
direct system extending from
north Idaho through this section
of the state to the southern Pa
cific coast.
The linking of Boise with Butte
by a more direct route than eX
lists at present is also seen by
many in the purchase Of ths
Dewey road. 1t is pointed on
that the Idaho Northern has al
l ready been surveyed to the Pay
2 cite lakes and all Indication
point to the completion of tn
line to the lakes during the pres

PENSION FOR BURR
His Application Found in Musty
Records.
Writing as lcgIble as II Only Month
Old and Dated 1884. When the
Revolutionary Veteran Was
78 Years Old.

Washington. - The application of
Aaron Burr OF revolutionary fame for
a pension has been unearthed among
the musty files of the pension bureau.
Secretary Lane has dispatched 1t to
the Smithsonian institution, suggest
- that place as the proper depository
for such an interesting document. The
application Is in an excellent state of
preservation.
The writing is as legible as If writ
ten a month ago, and the paper is still
intact. The signature of the applicant
is modestly placed in the lower right
hand corner and read "A. Burr" There
are four pages of the application.
which is dated in 1884. and is closely
written on both sides of legal size pa
per. Therein is set forth that Colonel
Burr. the applicant, is seventy. eight
years old. and that he enlisted in 1875
>tat the age of eighteen.
n IL is further recited that the appli-
cant's first important expedition was
with General Arnold on the campai gn
in Canada. At that time he was aid
to General Montgomery, wEo was kill
ed in the attack on Quebec. Young
Burrs next assignment was as aid to
General Arnold. who was in command
of the invading army at that time La
ter he was aid to General Putnavi and
was present at the battles OF Long
Island and White Plains"
The papers also declare that Burr
was made lieutenant colonel by Gen
fral Washington; that his health be-
came impaired and that he made sew
erai attempts to resign on that &c
count. and his resignation was accept
ed conditionally and with protest by
General Washington, but before it took
effect Colonel Burr was persuaded to
undertake the destruction of British
blockhouse on the Bronx river, which
he accomplished most successfully,
and was then persuaded TO forego his
intention to resign and continued in
active service until 1881.
Among other papers in the file is
copy of letter to Colonel Burr from
George Washington. dated "Headquar-
tiers Frederick. 26 October, ITS" The
substance of this letter is found in the
following quotation:
You in my opinion carry your ideas
of delicacy too far. when you propose
to drop your pay while the recovery of
your health necessarily requires your
absence from the service. 1t is not
customary. and it would be unjust.
You therefore have leave to retire I'M

These be warm days in Washington,
both meteorlogically and politically.
President Wilson has been in the
thick of both kinds Of warmth. Yet
close observers declare that he has
not yet perspired;
Has not been seen to mop his brow;
Has not wilted collar;
Has not used fan;
Has not complained Of the heat;
Has not once said: "Whew. but it's
hot"
Has not started the air cooling
plant under the offices.
All this in spite of the fact that he
is the hardest worked man in the
United States.
Blighting summer heat has fallen
on the white house, but he has re-
solved to stay ION the job" all sum-
mer. to carry out the Administrations
