IHE SENATORIAL. IlOItI.

1t would seem apparent that there
is going to he a deadlock in the
legislature over the election Of a
senator. \ careful poll of the emem-
bers aS reported from Boise gave
Brady 20 votes, Gooding 10 votes
Ailshie l6 votes, with the remain
ing votes scattering
The opponents Of Gooding are
making capital out Of the fact that
he took out naturalization papers IN
December, 1901, which makes hlm
ineligible for the office, a the law
requires citizenship of nine years
in the United States as Qualillca-
tion for senator. Gooding how
evee endeavors to explain tins IN
cident satisfactorily, and Ia the
meantime the fight wakes warme'
and more interesting.

document suys. My sincrrc deter
mina,ion l. to give the best ener-
vie. Of NY life to making ihc next
two year, the most honest, the most
economical and the most efficient
our people have ever known.
He advises the Legislature To con-
slider we'll only those bills that are
necessary, and give the p'oplc il
chance 90 get acquainted with tie
laws they have. The public are lA-
boring under burden OF taxation,
and strict economy must be- prac-
ticed along all lines aud dispense
with all useless offices.
GOV. lIainc- recommends the
aboli-hiug Of the state board of com
trol for Institutions: that settlers on
reclamation tracts bc given 80 In.

Senators.
In reference To the creation @
new counties, the governor -trongl.
urges that these requests be no
granted where the burdens Of taxa

protection Of fish and game the past
term would more than pay the eX-
penses Of IA Carey Act Commission

tion Of birds, animals and fish of
more importance than the protec-

Settlers are urged to write at once
to their Representatives and sena-
tors who will soon meet in BOis,
and urge them TO support the meas
urc when introduced.

The SECRET AND THE KEY.


Under the above heading the Ari-

lion projects should be given -
wears instead Of ten years in which
to pay for their land. The Repub-
lican presents causes for the com
