said, that graduated assessment be
levied on the acreage directly trihu-
tary to the branch, the amount to be
regulated in accordance with the ben

Speakership of The House.

@@SeAOSS
There are several candidates for
speaker of the house of representa-
tlves. The two most prominently
mentioned at the present time are
Hon. T. Q. Johnson of Blackfoot and
Hon. A. H. Conner of Bonner county.
Either of these men is we'll qualified
tor the position Both have served
in the legislature before and are
acquainted with the procedure in the
house. Mr. Johnson has had more
experience having served several
terms in the house. He is very able
man. Mr.. Conner is the champion of
the proposed workmen's compensa-
ton law and is a member of the COM
mission appointed by Governor
Haines to draw Tip law to be intro
duced at the coming session. He too
is very able man. In speaking of
Mr., Conner the Pend D'Oreille Re-
view says:
1.-TWO vars ago Mr.. Conner was a
candidate for the speakership but the
senatorial fight came up in such a
way that he could not be selected
without compromising his position as
friendly to northern candidate for
the senatorship He was loyal to the
north at that time and was ready to
take his medicine rather than fulfill
his ambition at the cost of the geo
graphical situation. The north should
be loyal to him now in the renewal
of his aspiration.
There is no question of Mr. Con-
ner's eminent fitness for the place !;
that is conceded. The south has had
the speakership for the past two SEES
sions and previous to that time the
north had had it but once in a long
period of years Mr.. Conner's abili-
ties bring him forward at this time as
logical candidate and the only pos
sible reason that can be urged against
his candidacy might arise from the
fact that two state officials will come
from Bonner. But Bonner cannot be
blamed if it has good men to fill the
jobs and if Mr.. Conner is the best
possible material for speaker the fact
that his town has other citizens able
to attract political attention should
not work to his hardship"
His Imperial Highness, The Hog!
Elsewhere in this issue of The Tri.
bune you will read of the immense
sums of money the hog is bringing
to Idaho each day. We are just com
mencing to appreciate the worth and
merit of the hog, and to treat him
accordingly. The Idaho Falls Re-
gister states that the Idaho hog has
risen to that Importance where he,
she or it can ride on a special train,
No longer are they herded together
in common cattle cars and made up
as a train shipment, the train taking
the siding at tank towns to permit
through passenger trains to roll by.
AS a matter of fact the hog train
rolls by even if ordinary human beings
have to wait at the siding. His i'm
perial and serene highness takes pre-
cedence on all occasions. His work
as mortgage litter and advance agent
of prosperity is recognized by farm
ers, business men and railroad mag
mates.
The Idaho Falls paper says:
"The Idaho hog has become party
of the first part and rides in a spe-
cial train, in cars cleaned and disin-
fected and prepared for the special
reception of the hog in question, and
when his train is made up it will have
a clear and clean right of way from

Is the mildest epithet that is
