State Dry in 1916

Boise, Feb. 23.-Is the prohibi-
tion bill passed? The question was
much in doubt tonight. The vote
on suspension Of the rules was 81
to 9. Senator Frazier was absent.
Senators Bowman and Rockwell
were paired. Senator Whitcomb
raised a question at the time as to
whether it required two-thirds Of
the members Of the body or two
thirds Of those present to suspend
the rules. President Taylor ruled
that two thirds Of those present
was sufficient and declared the
rules suspended. Later he ques-
toned the correctness of his ruling
and members of the senate express
ed the belief that the rules were not
suspended when the bill was passed
and that it would be necessary to
call it up Wednesday.
Prohibition legislation is thing
Of the past in the state Of Idaho.
1t became so when the senate pas.
sed today under suspension of the
rules, H. B. No. 142, making the
state dry by statutory enactment
January l, 1916. The result OF
the roll call was "a to 6. There is
no doubt that the measure will re.
ceive the signature of the governor
The secretary was unanimously di
rected by this meeting to draft anc
mail to the governor and legisla
ture, a protest against the passage
of the Exemption bill now before
J the legislature.

Deary Has Lighting Plant

1t is doubtful whether a town of
its size in Idaho has better light
ing system than Deary now has, and
this enterprise should be built up.
Electric lights are the most econom-
ical cleanest, and handiest lights
known. And the rates charged by
the Deary plant are very reason
able. A travelling man was heard
to remark the other day that ''he
wished he could get his lights at
home for twice what the Deary
charges are"
The best way to build up towr
is to boost every local enterprise
that is fair and reasonable, and the
new electric plant comes within thi'
scope.-Deary Enterprise.

men to this city to have them search

broke into the living car of the crew
and stole one diamond ring valued

was found on their persons. 1t is
good time to keep watch of every
thing you have from the amount of
burglarery that is going on in differ
ent places.

SOME IMPROVEMENTS.
TO COMMENCE SOON

Some of the improvements for
our city are beginning to look like
they are coming. Parties in this
city are figuring with the Washing
ton Water Power company Of Spok-
ane on connecting with the line at
Troy and also with the lewiston
Charleston Power company to connect
with their line at Lapwai. The
Kendrick Warehouse and Milling
company are receiving bids on a
new concrete fume to take the place
Of the old wooden flume that carries
the water to the mill. The mill
will be placed in condition to do
more mill work and also will be put
to making flour. A new track will
be laid to connect the mill with the
spur so cars can be loaded direct
into the cars from the flour Of the
mill. Along with these improve
ments rock is being placed on the
lots in the block with the Gazette
office for a foundation for a new
Garage which will be built by the
Kendrick Auto Company. The build.
ing will be brick 5Ox1O0 with all
the modern devices for handling
the auto business and in front will
be concrete walk. Walks will be
placed in the rest of the block anc
other walks in the other end of towr

DEAN WORCESTER
SAYSU, 5. NEEDS
THE PHILIPPINES

ASSOCIATED Press by Federal wirelessl
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1. -
Dean Worcester, before the senate
committee on the Philippines, declar-
ed that at the present time, despite
all the laws against them and all the
efforts on the part of the American
administrators to enforce these laws,
peonage and slavery exist in many
districts. ...e-r.'. -.
In reference to the present state Of
defense, Mr.. Worcester said that in
his opinion it would be idle to deny
the fact that Japan could at any time
land an armed force on the islands
at almost any chosen point, and the
fail Of Manila would be matter of
only short time. Corregidor itself,
he thought, is strong enough to with
stand years siege.
America needs the Philippines" he
said, summing up his argument
against the passage of the Jones bill,
because it is necessary for the pro-
lection of the west coast of the Unit
ed States that there is soEae strong
naval station in the Far East. This
station is needed in order that the
shores of America be protected by
carrying the war into the land of the
enemy, whoever he may be, and to
compel that enemy to keep his fleet
in it's own waters" ~.

town Honolulu is Noisy

Nineteen hundred and fourteen was
two.stepped out and 1915 was Waltzed
in while thousands of HOnolulans
stood on the side lines and watched
at the annual New Years eve street
dance given by Mayor Fern. 1t was
his farewell ball to the people of the
city on Bishop street last night.
To the tune of Too Much Mustard,
by the Royal Hawaiian band, hun
dreds tripped UP and down the side
walk and two-stepped the old year out
and at midnight the music switched
to lively waltz. The new year ar
rived on Bishop street in a manner
thousands will long remember.
Malihinis who journeyed down town
to see the novel sight smiled their
appreciation of the Honolulu style of
"doings things up to the minute and
some even joined in the fun.
by golly, they certainly know how
to celebrate" one Honolulu visitor
remarked as he wendell his way to d
beach hotel early this morning. The

Years eve celebrations and the public
automobiles were busy all evening.
Mayor Fern started the ball rolling
when he and Mrs. Fern led the grand
march. Many stood by and few
danced, while the official couple
waltzed up and down the sidewalk.
Then when Captain Henri Berger's
band struck up to the tune Of irresist-
ible ragtiIne the younger bystanders
simply couldn't stand still and by the
third dance the sidewalk was crowded
to capacity. ..
Many danced at both the governors
ball and at the street dance. The
mayor led the grand march on the
street and then slipped away to the
armory to dance half-hour there.
Then he returned to his own ball. A
bandstand had been temporarily erect
ed on Bishop street and the dance asst
night resembled monster Mardi Gras
