Especial to Caldwell Tribune. }

Boise, April 28.-There will be a
general exodus OF state officials from
bolse next Saturday. Lewiston is to
celebrate the opening OF the Dalles-
CeIilo canal. next Monday and it is
surprising now many OF our state Of
| nclaIS nnd that they have business in
that particular part OF the state at
tnat time. however. the opening of
| the canal, attorulng a waterway from
| Lewiston to the sea, is matter OF
great Importance to the Inland En-
pre-, and it is perhaps right and
| proper tnat Idaho onclaldom should
! De duly represented. ParenthetlcalIy,
though, it will be recalled that TINS is

ernor Alexander will head the dele

senator Brady enjoys the distinction
OF being the Republican member of
the committee named by the vice
president to attend the formal open
ing OF the canal. Senator Borah will
also honor the occasion with his pres
ence, IN pursuance OF his plan TO visit
all sections OF the state during the
departments will be represented.
Viii Mix Politics..
1t is generally understood that a
number of those who attend the cele-
Dratlon at Lewiston will not be in
terested in the canal alone. They are
more particularly interested in
route to the political sea. 1t is said
that several individuals with eyes on
the chair now occupied by Governor
Alexander will improve the oppor-
tunity to feel the public pulse. Cap
tain Z. G. Davis, legal advisor of the
Public Utilities Commission. is said
to be not averse to higher political
honors, but if the Captain should open
up few routes to the political seas,
while Governor Alexander is build
ing his North and South railroad, it
may be taken for granted that he will
not have monopoly of the endeavor,
Tor there will be others in attend
ance at the Lewiston celebration,
whose thoughts will be wandering in
the same channel as may the thoughts
of the Captain.
May Be a Picturesque Campaign.
1t is reported that former Governor
frank X. Goodlng may be a candidate
Tor the Republican nomination next
year. If the former governor should
decide to enter the contest, other as
pirantS might as we'll take to the
woods. The picturesquesness of a
campaign between Nose and Frank
would be too tempting to the average
Republican and Frank would be nomi-
mated hands down. They say that the
former governor has agreed with
himself to forget certain things in con-
nectIon with his senatorial campaign
ana that 1t is now quite safe to meet
him without a gun. However he still
adheres to his statement that there
are some liars in Idaho, but If he
makes the race for Governor il will
be upon the theory that no gentlemen
VIII lie to a governor, no matter how
shametully he might fabricate to a
senator, especially in view of the man
ner in which senatorial politics were
corrupted in the last campaign. Ser
lously, II Frank r. Gooding were
nominated there would be something
doing on the stump.
Huston VIII Not Resign.

turn from his home at Idaho Falls

that he was to resign as State Auditor
