THE new BROOM
AT THE COURT HOUSE
Almost Clean Sweep of Officials at the County
Seat Next Monday---New Men Well Known.

ed last fall. This will leave the as
SCISSOR only the work of assessing
the county.
As Mr.. Broomhead is elected for
four years his office will not be af-
fected by the new lineup Monday.
OF the above the probate judge
and three commissioners are demo-
Gratis and the rest republicans. 1t
is generally believed that Ezra
Howell will be elected chairman of
the board if he will take it.
There will be no unfinished busI.
ness to come before the new board,
az the old officers have cleaned up
everything pending before they
went out of Office.
Judge Haddock will have one
Office to dispense, that of probation
officer, and already there are num-
Der Of applicants. The law does
away with salary for this place
and allows per diem and expenses
to be fixed by the probate judge.
The Examiner wishes the new
officers every success in their COM
ing work and we hope that at the
end of two years they will be able
to report good account Of their
ste hardship. To the old officers,
who retire to private life, we also
wish peace and prosperity. They
have striven faithfully to serve the
people, which is all that any official
can hope to do.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The Capital News editor and pub
Usher are perhaps luckier than most
of the scribes in Idaho, for we UNDER
stand that they can dig up the $500
fine, and will have to serve only the
ten days in jail. With the most of
other newspapermen the sentence
would mean serving out the whole
$500 as well as the ten days.
We do not doubt but what the
Capital News contempt decision will
have a most striking effect in ce-
menting the republican and progress
sive forces in the state. The band
will now proceed to play: "There
will be hot time In Idaho from now
on.
The new county officials go into
office next Monday, and it Is n safe
assertion to say that all of them will
inaugurate some measure that they
will believe good for the. county, and
yet at the end of their respective
terms it is doubtful IL any of them
will be able to succeed himself with
out having opposition, which will
mean that there will be those who
will not agree with the reform inca
ures introduced. All OF which prov.
the old saying: "That you cannot
please all of the people all of the
time.n
Even the seven democrats in the
Legislature have not been able TO
agree as 10 whom they will support
for u. s. senator. 1t Is reported that
Gov. Hawley will get three votes,
John Nugent, two and Fred Dubois
| two. These seven members, how
ever, have one advantage and ehat 10
If they do not agree, their actions
will not cause any deadlock in the
matter of electing q successor to SEN
ator Borah.
Wireless from Senator Perky to
| the Idaho legislature: Needn't be
in any rush about electing senator,
as my health will permit me to stay
in Washington till March 4th, and
will have sufficient strength to draw
the salary of senator till that time"
Mark Bates of the Parma Herald
has very generously offered to edit
the Boise Capital News, while Brox-
on is taking an enforced vacation at
the Ada county jail. We always
knew Mark had a large heart stored
away in his anatomy.
| While the pro tenn editor of the
Examiner honestly believes that the
supreme court has made n mistake,
Iyet we doubt II this will help the
Capital News people out OF their
present predicament Unfortunately
for them we are not the supreme
court.
i Anyhow Brother Broxon will be
able to write few dissertations
founded on experience, as to the
kind of prison fare served in the
county Jail at Boise, rs the court in
structed the sheriff to treat BroxoT
and his associates just like any
I other prisoners, which might be cou-
, strued to mean that they would hays

iother law breakers put up with.

ABOUT FRATERN-
AL INSURANCE

We notice that State Commission
er Hattabaugh of the insurance de-
partment, suggests that all fraternal
life insurance companies ought to
be barred from the state. Evidently
Mr.. Hattabaugh does not know or
realize the vast amount of good these
fraternals have done and are doing
in this and other states. In nearly
all cases the fraternal insurance the
members carry in these associations
Is the only kind they can afford, and
to deprive them and their dependent
ones of this protection would be little
short of criminal. All over Idaho
there are widows and orphans, who,
but for these fraternals, would, upon
the death of the bread winner, have
been brought face to face with either
starvation or the poor house. We
doubt Ii any of these can be found
who will condemn these great soci-
cities. 1t is true that some of these
companies or organizations have
failed, but even so, while they exist
ed they did a vast amount of good in
alleviating suffering and supplying
the wants of dependent ones in the
time of their utmost need. The
great majority of these fraternals
have now gotten the science of life
| insurance down in such a way that
they promise as long life as the old
| line life insurance companies, and
they are infinitely better for the
country in every way than the mere
ly dollar and cents ones.
One never finds the fraternal asso-
Citations trying to corrupt the politics
of states. they don't find these asso-
Citations using their great insuranc e
reserves in stock gambling or otheI
| questionable speculations; they dom
have to resort to cold blooded and
outrageous business deals, in the in
terests of some special clique of money
kings; they don't find them refusing
to extend hand of charity or ex
pressing word of sympathy to thost
who are suddenly brought face tG

makers, death. On the other hand
there is something vastly more to b.
desired among the fraternals thar
the making of money. 1t is that thi
big brotherhood is founded on tn,
broadest and best sentiments 0
humanity It has a greater work t.
perform than the mere handing owe
of money at members death, AM
that work 1t does perform with fidel
. ity and unswerying loyalty. Thes
associations are the backbone of the
nation9 for they believe and practic
the theory that there is more in iifs
than the mere idea of making none,
ont OF other peoples necessities.
No, indeed, Mr.. Commissioner, th
people of Idaho are not yet ready t
he delivered, bound and gagged, owe
) | to the great insurance corporation
of the nation, nor will they ever be
|. and any man or party that make
the mistake of thinking so or tryin
: to do this, will be slipped into oblis

LEGISLATURE CON-
VENES AT BOISE

The twelfth session of the Idaho
legislature, since statehood, con-
vened at BOISE on last Monday
Nearly every member was present.
G. S. French was chosen as
speaker for the house and John w.
Hart was elected president pro tenn
of the senate. Mr.. French comes
from Canyon county and is classed
as progressive, which would seem
TO indicate that the house is made
up of a majority of Rooseveltians,
though tits said many standpatters
voted for French in an attempt to
harmonize the party in the house.
Among those SO voting were sever
al members from the southeast, two
from this county, none of whom
could be very we'll classed as Pro.
gressiyes.
In the case of Mr.. Hart, the
standpatters have complete control
/ of the state senate, his election came
about without contest He is from
Fremont county.
As there are only three demo-
Gratis in the senate and four in the
house, this party cut very little ice
IN the organization of either body.
The voting on United States SEN
ators will not take place until next
Tuesday. OF course Senator Borah
will be reelected without opposition
but on the short term senator there
is as yet great uncertainty as to who
will be chosen. Ex-Governor Bra.
dy seems 10 have q distinct lead,
but whether or not he has enough
votes To win cannot now be stated.
1t Is thought that on the first two
or three ballots, favorite sons will
be given complimentary votes, and
if so no election need be looked fol
for several days at least.
On the same day that the legis.
lature convened the new state Off
cials headed by Governor Haines,
stepped into Office and the new
officers are now fully installed fol
the ensuing two years. Some Of
these will not be new to their posi-
tions as for instance State Treasur-
er Allen, Secretary of State Gifforc
Superintendent of Public lnstruc
ton Shepherd, Supreme Juog'
Stewart aud Mine Inspector Bell
Attorney General Peterson, wa
assistant attorney in the last admin
istration.
The big inaugural ball was hell
on Tuesday evening in the ney
, capitol building and wis gorgeou
) affair. Several Montpelierite
were present to take part.
!, Governor Haines has made j
/ known that he will insist on al
} economical adm nistration, and il
I his annual mes age to the legisia
} ture he has outlined the plans b
/ wants that body ~ follow III help
ing him to bring about reduction
! in state expenses. He has alread
inaugurated some reforms alon
/ this line in the way of cutting dow
Office help and in other ways.

OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
FOR COMING SEASON
Bear Lake Valley and Surrounding Country
To See Great Year During 1913.

Will oo pTouuceu anu enlppeu lToH'
the Montpelier depot, and this
is saying great deal, because dur
ing 1919 it is said that more thar
$3.50, 600 worth of cream aud Other
products were shipped thru this
city to outside markets. But then
during the past few months a large
number of eastern pure bred milk
cattle have been brought into thil
section and Star valley and thi,
new influx will be felt very early in
the increased production of milk
and its products; besides the far
mers of this valley have been breed
ing up their dairy herds, and the
coming spring will see hundreds OF
new milk COWS producing for the
first time. The dairy interests are
only getting good start, and bv
the time another year shall have
rolled by, they will be one of the
greatest sources of income for the
farmers in this and nearby valleys.
The outlook for the farm is at
good as usual, though to date no,
SO much suow has fallen al the
ranchers would like to see. But
the ground is we'll filed with mois-
ture from last falls hard rains, and
the prospect Of a dry summer or a
shortage of moisture does not now
seem likely. The output of hogs
will be very largely increased dar-
ing the year of 1918, as many
breeders are going into the business
on a more extensive scale than ever
before. This is another big money
maker for this section, as the de-
mand for hogs from the coal camp.
has never been anything like fully
met by the valley people and thi,
mand is increasing very rapidly
while the production has not KEEP
pace with this increase. Poultry
and veal will be looked after NOR.
carefully in the future as from thi,
source, especially poultry, the far
mer expects to reap more dollars il
the future than be ever has in th,
past
Many hundreds of apple treel
will be bearing for the 6rst time in
1918, andt the returns from thi
source will be very large. Othe
fruits of different kinds will also
show a large increase in yield from
new trees and bushes recently se
out.
The coal camps in Wyoming, al
of which buy most of their sup
plies in this valley, will be widel,
extended during the next. few years
and this of course means a vastl,
increased demand for farm product
of all kinds, and Bear Lake ough
to be in a position to supply thi
want no matter how large it ma
become. The coal miners can bu,
nowhere else so well as they ca
here, as we are more closely i
touch with this trade than an
other section, and they must Away
, come here, if they can get 1whs
they want and in the quantitie
they demand.
|, Certainly the outlook for l9l
: is one that Is bound to fll ever
inhabitant who lives in this an
adjoining valleys with optimism {
the future of this section. tn
banks are already overlooking VIII
money .and everyone seems to |
pretty well on ''easy street," an
1918 will only place them in mo-
easy circumstances as the seasc
ro1ls an 4nuard tho ..os.n;nnv xraa.

flight over the great divide al his
home in this city where he had
lived continuously for nearly hall
century. Mr.. Bridges had been i'll
for several days, but his condition
was not considered serious unit

mise came as a great shock to tbs
people of the city, and especially tt
those who have been intimately as

time.
The deceased was born in Eng
land n years ago and at an earl,
age came to this section. He set

Chicago and Other Sections Of IlII.
nois Are Heavy Sufferers.

Chicago, March 15.-Widespread

life In Alabama, Tennessee and North
western Georgia. From Nashville and
Memphis came reports of cyclones half
a mile wide. sweeping through five
counties. tumbling over scores of
houses. brushing a dozen towns and
killing twenty persons. Rome, Ca,
told a similar story of the storm In
Northwestern Georgia, placing the

and six in Northern Alabama.
A ffty-mile gale, which passed over
Chicago and Illinois, caused damage
estimated at ST. o 900.
From the storm swept areas come
meager reports of devastation, indi.
eating that the property loss will ex.
coed by far the earlier estimates.
Many towns have been cut of from
the world and in sections of four
states thousands of telephone and
telegraph wires are Frustrated.
