DOingS Of The State Legislature.

The closing hours of the legis-
lature were marked by a great
deal of tumult. The legislature
adjourned Sunday after passing
the appropriation bill, and it will
be some time before it is known
just what was accomplished.
One of the final rcenes was as
follows:
Abdul Hamid, former sultan of
Turkey, had nothing on Speaker
French. Abdul abdicated, and
so did the speaker. He turned
the chair over to Koelsch of Ada,
following a veritable riot that oc-
Cured in the house and lasted
for almost an hour Saturday
forenoon. The disorder was
caused by the objection of Church
of Idaho, to the adoption of the
calendar committees report in
toto.
Church's objection produced in
the house what was one of the
most disorderly proceedings in
the history of the Idaho legisla-
ture. With half the members on
their feet, all talking and motion
following motion without regard
for courtesy or procedure or rule,
the tumult was such as to abso-
lutely prevent the transaction of
business.
All efforts of the speaker to
restore order were without sue
cess. A motion to take a recess
of five minutes with the idea of
Strengthening matters out, was
defeated. Koelsch then ascend
ed the rostrum to suggest to the
speaker a means of restoring OF
der. The speaker was entirely
disgusted with the conduct of
the house and he asked Koelseh
to take the chair. Koelsch did

One WAY to Catch a Fox.

If you are particularly anxious to do
a little surreptitious fox catching try
the following. 1t is the sage of Lup-
ton who speaks in his Thousand No
table Things" "Anoint the soles of
your shoes with piece Of fat swine's
flesh as broad as your hand. newly
toasted or a little broiled at the fire,
when you go out of the wood home
ward. And in every of your steps cast
a piece OF the liver of a swine roasted
and dipped in honey, and draw after
your back the dead carcass of cat"
Your fox cannot resist all this. but "be
sure to have man nigh thee with bow
and shafts to shoot at him, or by some
other means to hit him." Good fun this
for country house party at loose
ends.-London Spectator.

Idaho County a Vast Mining Region

In his annual report of the
mining industry, state inspector
of mines, Robert N. Bell, writ
ing of Idaho county has the fol-
lowing:
Idaho county, the largest in
Idaho, aside from it's extensive
area of agricultural land north
of Grangeville, the county seat,
presents a very rugged, noun
famous topography and is essen
TALLY a miningscountry, being as
it is almost entirely embraced
with the main central granite
area for which this state is noted.
1t has had a very fattering
future from a mining develop
ment standpoint in general, es-
pecially in connection with its
gold ore resources.
This county was noted in the
early history of the state for its
placer production, and the dig
gings of Florence, Warren, Elk
City and Salmon river made an
enormous yield of precious bull
lion from this class of deposits.
There is hardly a stream OF
any Importance in the whole
country upon which placer golo
cannot be found by panning, anc
while it is true that the granite
formations of this region have
been deeply eroded, there are
several districts in which i'm
mense intrusions of recent ter
tiary igneous rocks are manifest
ed that have been accompanied
by extensive naturalization of {
date subsequent to the genera
erosions of the granite forma
tions and are consequently sus
ceptible of maintaining theil
metal values to very considerable
depth.

of Twin Falls said they would
support the resolution if the
north would take their counties
into the new state of Lincoln.
Conner argued for the resolution
and said the division would have
to come some day, and pledged
the opponents that if they would
pass the resolution without
amendment the north Idaho men
would help them put through an
other resolution asking Oregon
for the eastern part of that state,
but he did not want the two tied
together.

so and order was soon restored.
Church's objection to the ad-
option of the report was in line
with the objection he had made
the day before to the suspending
the rules with a blanket motion
to cover a number of bills. He
made the objection with the idea
of retarding the speed of the
legislative mill as claimed.
The success of Church in his
single handed effort to block the
house came as a surprise to the
organization. All through the
session the members from Idaho
county had remained quiet and
passive. When he commenced
his fight against the breaking Of
the speed law he was not taken
seriously, but before the turmoil
ceased he demonstrated that he
was to be reckoned with, and
with practically the whole house
against him he held out for an
hour before he was finally steam

AT GRANGEVILLE
Would Be Murderer Kills
Himself.
Clarence Walker Shoots Two Women
and City Marshal.

A fatal domestic tragedy, was
enacted in Grangeville Monday
evening.
From what can be learned at
this time, it seems that Clarence
Walker had procured a license to

to her home and got into some
difficulty with her mother, Mrs.
Beck, who sent for the city mar
shall, w. G. Brown.
AS soon as Brown entered the
house, Walker commenced shoot
ing. He shot Mrs. Beck, Helen
Beck and the marshal before he
turned the gun on himself with
fatal effect. Walker died in
stantly.
1t is stated that as the marshal
entered the house, Walker firec
at him, hitting him in the arm
He then shot Mrs. Beck anc
Helen Beck through the body.
Miss Helen Beck, who is about
18 years old, is not expected t(
recover. Mrs. Beck and Mar
shall Brown are reported recover

Another Railroad Story.

The following appeared in the
Boise Capital News:
The P. & l. N. railway will be
extended north this year from
New Meadows down the Little
Salmon to Higgins, where the
Little Salmon empties into the
big Salmon river, and where the
P. & l. N. is to connect with
the Gilmore & Pittsburg railroad,
which is to be built on down the
Salmon river from Salmon City
to Lewiston. The information
comes from a source that is quite
authentic.
The Gilmore & Pittsburg, as it
is known, is built from Salmon
City to Armstead. Mont. From
Armstead the G. & P. will be
built in a northeasterly direction
to Twin Bridges, Mont, where
it will connect with the Northern
Pacific.
There are now great quantities
of steel rails and ties piled up at
Salmon City for the G. & P. ex-
tension to Lewiston.
1t is reliably reported that all
the unsold hay and grain in the
Meadows valley has been con-
tracted for, as we'll as all the hay
and grain that will be produced
in the valley this year. This hay
and grain is said to be for the
commissary department for the
grading outfits that will do the
grading on the extension of the
P. & l. N. from New Meadows
to Higgins to connect with the
G. & P. Nothing less than 80
pound steel is to be used on this
extension.
The contract for standard tie!
is reported to have been let by
the P. & l. N. to a firm in New
Meadows, 10000 of which are tt
be delivered by April l, 1918.
1t is also stated upon excellen
authority that the present roat
will be so Strengthened and i'm

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Slides at the Panama canal dur
ing January will necessitate the
removal of about 100000 Gu. yd.
of additional gronnd.
Korea, which has a population
of II, 100000 people, has only Z
automobiles, the latest one being
purchased by an American min
ing man to use in inspecting min
ing properties. This country has
an 1900 square miles, but has
few good roads suitable for
motor cars.
Caterpillar traction engines
have been used in a number OF
places where by reason of the
presence of sand or soft bottom,
haulage by ordinary means was
impossible or difficult. A recent
unusual application of the cater
pillar is to a Bucyrus drag-line
excavator used for stripping
phosphate rock at Mount Pleas
ant, Tennessee. 1t is reported
to work satisfactorily, even in
mud halfway up the frames.
On the Los Angeles acqueduct
large number of caterpillar en-
gines were used on the desert.
While demurrage and repairs
were high, such extensive haul

BILE.
failing resulting from milling
a given block of ore cannot be
placed in a mine in the stope
from which the ore originally
came. This becomes apparent
when it is considered that a
cubic foot of solid quartz weighs
l65 h., whereas a cubic foot OF
quartz sand weighs about 1O6 to
110 lb. This indicates that only
about two-thirds of the failing
can be replaced in the stope.
This, however, in California
would in most cases be no great
disadvantage, as almost every
mine has already extensive open
workings into which the extra
one-third of the sand could be
stored, so that it would, general
ly speaking, be a long time be-
fore the excess output of the
mill would become troublesome.

new STATE PLAN
KILLED in IDAHO
House Defeats Resolution for
Separation.
MOrmOniSm is Said to Be Factor OF
Dissent.

Last week the legislature de-
feated a resolution seeking to
give the northern part of Idaho
a chance to secede and join the
eastern part of Washington and
form a new state.
While the time may not be
ripe, it is only question of years
before this will be done. For
several years the northern part
of the state has not been treated
right in the matter of legislation,
and the present legislature, has
created more new counties in the
southeastern part of the state
than there are counties in the
northern part. The following
press report shows how some of
the members feel:
North Idaho's effort to secede
from the mother state and join
with eastern Washington in form
ing the new state of Lincoln was
nipped in the bud by the house,
the voting standing 35 to 20
against the resolution.
The defeat of the resolution
was due to French's opposition
and that of the southwest and
midstate counties, whose repre-
sentatives did not want to be left
in a state that would be con-
trolled and dictated by the Nor
mons of the southeast. The
southeast would have gladly
given the north Idaho men sup
port in their effort, but were
afraid to make the move. The
north stood absolutely solid,
every single man of the 10 north
Idaho representatives voting fol
the resolution. The other vote
was by Hunt of Fremont, a Nor
mon.
The resolution, which also
memorialized the Washington
legislature to cut eastern Wash
ington loose, was introduced II
the morning session by Conner
and made special order for the
afternoon, 1t was signed by al
the north Idaho representative
except Oversmith.
During the noon recess tn
midstate sections got busy. Ex
Governor Gooding lined up Lin
coin county, and Ada and Canyol
counties caucused. These sec
tions planned a countermove an(
tried to throw the resolution int
committee of the whole, tina
they might offer an amendmen
cutting off the southeastern Nor
mon counties and giving them tt
Utah, and asking Oregon for al
of Oregon east of the Blue noun
tains for annexation to the south
ern part of Idaho. 1t was thi
that kept the southeast iron
taking advantage of the move
Koelsch of Ada made a plea tina
to take the north away woul'
leave the old state impoverished
IF you give us eastern Oregon
| will be willing to vote for tn
resolution" he said.
"You can have all Of Oregol
YOU want so far as we are con
cerned," said Church of Idah
county.
