coNrEssEs IRREGULARITIES.

George A. Day, state land commits
sioner, last week confessed to gross
irregularities in the administration of
the affair of his office before the
legislative investigating committee,
excusing himself on the score of Gus
tom. 1t has long been evident that
Mr.. Day is so constituted that he
could not help giving the simplest trans
action a corrupt bias, even when clear
ly and fully laid out for his perform
ance. The republican organization in
Idaho has never suffered from an over
sensitive conscience, but how that
party can stand Mr.. Day passes all
comprehension. His continuance in of
flee is Idaho's greatest disgrace. The
operations of o. v. Allen in looting
the state treasury looks like simple
business transaction compared to Mr.
Days handling the state school lands
and funds.-Twin Falls Chronicle.

VETOED IDAHO co. BRIDGE BILL
Governor Says Lack of Economy and
Efficiency Compels.

Two bridge bills which affect Idaho
county were vetoed by the Governor
last Thursday, the Kamiah bridge pur-
chase bill and the bin providing for
the construction of bridge at the
mouth of Whitebird creek on the Sal
mon river. On account of the state
owning a large body of land across the
Salmon that would have been en-
chanced in value by the construction of
the Salmon river bridge, the Governor
was urged to sign this bill by far
larger number of people than perhaps
advocated the signing of similar mea-
sures.
In vetoing the bill the Governor lays
! stress on the lack of economy and eff
ficiency in state and local governments
and suggests that were these practiced
there would be sufficient funds with
which to carry on internal improve
ments. 1t is the opinion of many that
the Salmon river bill was one of more
than average merit, and of course
there is considerable disappoint
ment over the Governor failing to sigr
the same.
However, had the legislature worked
as sincerely as the Governor TO
economy and weeded out lot of thu
extravagant appropriations they in
sisted on passing and putting up to th'
executive it is possible the veto a.
would not have fallen on certain mea
sures of more of less merit. The legis
ature just closed was willing AM
anxious to pass any old bill just 81
long as it carried an appropriation an
to an outsider it looked as thougl
it was the special delight Of its mem
bers to pursue as extravagant cours
as was possible and work against rathe
than for economy.

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur MacBoyle Return
From California.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. P. MacBoyle return
ed last week from California where
they have been for the past months.
The enjoyed their visit immensely and
would not have returned at this time
had they not received the news from
Seth Jones, whom they met down there,
that spring work was now on in the
Idaho country. While away they visit
ed both fairs and while San Francisco
is the largest the beauty Of the San
Diego show cannot be surpassed. They
were at San Francisco during Idaho
| day but Arthur states the showing this
state has made is not very encouraging
and not liable to make one boast of the
! fact that he is from Idaho.
The building is all that could be de-
sired but the contents are very limited,
table made by the Boise high school
boys occupying the center of one room
and two large paintings, one of the
Shoshone Falls and the other of the
Arrow Rock dam being about all of the
Idaho products within the four Walls.

you are solicited to buy an Idaho but
ton at fifty cents. Idaho has an ag-
ricultural exhibit in the agricultural
building which is very ordinary but the
mineral display is above average.
i The exposition is not as yet complete
and it is Mr.. MaeBoyle's Judgment
that one had better put of his visit to
the fair until little later. Taken ali
