An amusing experience occurred t
i Herman j. Rossi, vice president of the
State Board of Education while visitins
the House of Representative the othe'
day in one Of his few visits there
though he has the privilege of the
floor Appearing just as the chaplain
opened the session with prayer, the
customary procedure every morning

by the Senate of the nomination of
Jay Czizek as Immigration commits

the Panama-Pacific exposition today
brought forth some caustic remarks
on the floor of the Senate.

naming of Mr.. Czizek, former State
Mining Inspector of Idaho, some OF
the senators took exception to him

have vast agricultural interests, the
farmer senator's objections were not

Tt is rumored that Major Fred
Reed, the retiring executive commits
sioner, has been rendered a position
at the exposition by the San Fran

speaking of retrenchment, and OF

ropriation bill appeared last week,
nth it's little request for four-fifths
f million dollars, it looked as
hough a splendid chance for the prun-

We committees have been scratching
1eir heads over that bill ever since
nd they can't see where any trim
ling is to be done. And the queer
hing about it is that the budget OF the
oard Of education is all that Is ap-
ealing to them; there are no clamor-
us constituents from the various
