Department, the question of handling
the funds for the eradication of hog
cholera in Idaho. Dean Carlyle has
been in constant consultation with the
different members of the Department
Of Agriculture and is presenting some
very strong reasons why plant for
the manufacture of serum should be
established in Idaho. In speaking Of
the matter Senator Brady said
Il am more than pleased that the
University of Idaho has sent Dean
Carlyle to Washington. He under
stands this subject thoroughly. We
have the appropriation and the only
matter now is as to the best method
If handling the same. There is nc
doubt but what Dean Carlyle and the
Department will come to satisfactory
understanding, and that we will very
soon be carrying on active operations
in Graduating hog cholera in Idaho.

providing for surface entry to phos-
phate and other lands included with

instructed by the Committee en- Pub
lie Lands to report will make avail
able for entry, if it shall become a
/ law, more than seven and half mil

! 276 acres is in southern 1daho; 1885,
519 acres in Utah; 1,9SS,S16 acres

possible and an effort will be made
to bring it up for consideration on
the next Unanimous Consent day.
Examinations For Lewiston
Some time ago. Senator James H
Brady learned that Lewiston was not
designated as one of the points at
which Civil Service Examinations are
held, and those desiring to take Civil
Service Examinations who reside in
that section of the State, were OBJ
liged to go either to Spokane or Boise
at a considerable expense.
/ Senator Brady called upon the De
partment and went into the matter
fully, as the result of which an inves
tigation was made by the Secretary
of the Eleventh Civil Service Dis
trict, with headquarters at Seattle
who visited Lewiston and made
favorable report to the Commission
, and hereafter, on the regular SEIZED
uled dates, examinations will be hell
in Lewiston.

Correspondence
Urges Quick Action for Marble
Creek Settlers

Greek Settlers
Representative French has been
advised by the Interior Department
that the State of Idaho has failed to
file molten for re-hearing in the
Marble Creek cases within the time
permitted for such motion to be filed
and he has taken up with the De-
partment the question Of expediting
the issuance of patents to the set
tiers at the earliest practicable mo-
ment.
Mr. French is urging that in view of
the number Of years that have passed
since entries were made upon these
lands and the tremendous hardships
that have been borne by the settlers,
the Government ought to be prompt
in considering the question OF issu-
ance of patents.
Senator Brady viii Furnish
Names Of Heroes
Senator Brady has been requested
by the American Cross Of Honor to
ascertain and submit the names Of
persons in Idaho who have rendered
heroic service in saving human life
The American Cross Of Honor is an
association, chartered by Congress.
which bestows bronze crosses Of honor
upon heroes who are not eligible to
recognition by the United States
government, heroes who save lives in
great fires. in mine disasters, in storm
and who have prevented death by
drowning. The Society believes there
are many unrewarded heroes In Idaho.
but it has not the facility of ascer-
tanning their identity or learning Of
their deeds, and it is for this reason
Senator Brady has been appealed to.
The Senator is asked to submit
the names of those entitled to recogni-
tion, and when these names are sup
Piled, blank applications will be for
warded to the candidates for the
cross of honor. and this must be
filled out, and returned with affidavita
of two witnesses who saw the acts
performed for which recognition is pro
posed to be granted. Through the
newspapers Of Idaho Senator Brady
hopes to reach those citizens who are
entitled to wear the bronze Cross of
Honor, either by their own applica'
tion, or through word from their
friends.

An Argument Against War

A blockade Of Mexican seaports
A blockade of Mexican seaports
would be likely to cause stringency in
the Chewing gum market" if a
pamphlet recently issued by the Pan.
American bureau be good authority.
Conservative estimates place the
number of gum chewers in the United
States at 100000, and wall of
stupendous proportions would go up
If their supply were suddenly cut
off, materially reduced. or the price
raised through shortage.
Recent statistics published by the
Department OF Commerce show that
during tho year 1913 the United States
imported 13,401,316 pounds of chiclc
which is the sap Of the sapote tree,
and forms the basis of practically all
the chewing gum used in the United
States.
1t is estimated that 300 900, 900 pack
ages of gum are sold annually in Anne
lea, each containing five pieces. These
placed end to end would extend a dis
lance Of 71,O25 miles, or two and
one-half times around the globe.

Helena Goes Out

A couple Of weeks ago the Com
mittee of the Whole in the House re-
instated the assay office in the appro-
priation bill fer Helena, Montana, a
Democratic state and omitted to re-
instate the offices at Boise, Idaho;
Carson City, Nevada; Salt Lake City,
Utah; and Deadwood, S. d.; all of
which states are represented by Re-
publican members Of Congress.
AS soon as the bill got into the
House, however, the Democratic ma
jority realized that it would not do
Ito play politics in matter of this
kind and promptly struck the assay
office at Helena, Mont, from the bill.
and 50 tho oHacome is that all Of
these assay offices must go unless
the combination Of the senators will
be sufficient to retain them.
