WEEKLY NEWS LETTER FROM
BOISE
Resume of Events Around. the
State House From Our
Special Correspondent.

Chairman Evans of the Republican
state central committee who was in
Occur d'Alene at the time of Judge
Hughes visit there, and who intro
duced the speaker at the mammoth
meeting in the park there, says that
the meeting was entirely an Idaho
affair. There were between 1000 and
10000 people who listened to his adj
dress, many of them democrats of the
most pronounced type. According
to Mr.. Evans and those who were with
him. and those who attended the
Occur d'Alene meeting, the presiden-
tial candidates address was of the
most telling character. Many Of
those who attended the meeting, un-
decided as to the position they would
occupy, came away fully. convinced
that his discussion of the situation
nationally was of vital Importance;
that a crisis was confronting the ma
ton which could only be solved sat
isfactorily and safely through the
election of Hughes as president and
the return of Republican majorities
in the senate and house.

What is believed to be the first case
of its kind since Idaho has been oper-
ating under the direct primary law
occurred when Captain (. G. Davis
Republican candidate for governor
gave out the list of his campaign
expenses to date. When Captain Da-
Wis made his initial announcement as
candidate he gave notice that ne
would publish his campaign expenses
before the primary election and ap-
nealed to all other candidates for
the governorship to do the same. The
publication of his campaign expenses
is. therefore, in line with his promise.
He gave out the following statement !.
81 resolved at the beginning of the
campaign to make thoroughly hon
est attempt to win the nomination
and election as governor. The prl-
mary law authorizes a candidate for
the governorship to spend not more
than $1,000, for any and all purposes,
in making his primary campaign. My
EXPENSES total $1O19. 1t will be mat
ter of honest regret if other candida
ties for the governorship (where the
law has been most frequently violat-
ed do not see fit to accept my invita-
ton and publish their expenses be-
fore the primaries. The law does not
REQUIRE this, but it would be long
step toward honest government In
Idaho if candidates would show them
selves willing to subject their cam
paigns to the scrutiny of the voters
before they are required to cast their
ballots"

Alexanderism Waning.

Mr.. Evans during his trip through
the northern portion of the state dis
covered that the former strength Of
Governor Alexander among the farm
ers and laboring men had waned. Dur
ing the campaign two years ago IN
MANY portions of the north, the spec
ious plea put up by the governor re-
lative to the administration of state
affairs WITS taken as expression of an
honest intention to better conditions
in the state house and in the various
departments. Those people who were
drawn from former party allegiance
through belief in Alexander's prom
ises naturally have paid good deal
of attention to both the talk and the
actions of the chief executive since
his elevation, and have felt disap-
pointed and betrayed by the fact that
performance has not measured up to
either promise or opportunity. The
party travelling throughout the north
have found that from the very begin
ming of this administration there has
been a growing distrust of the COVER
nor everywhere. A conviction has
arisen in the minds of the people that
temperamentally and constitution
allv Alexander is unable to give the
state competent and constructive ser
vice The history of the last session
of the legislature was indicative OF
the governors limitations. 1t is be-
ing argued blythe people who support
ed him in the last campaign and maze
his election certain, that the session
of the legislature furnished an eX-
cellent opportunity for Alexander TO
make his impress on the laws OF the
state in a constructive sense, but that
as a matter of fact the only way IN
which he touched legislation was des-
tructively. Numerous of the vetoes
of formative and remedial leglsia-
ton are being commented on, and par
ticularly is this true where certain
needed improvements and advantages
to educational and helpful institutions
were provided for by small approprla-
tons, which were disapproved' not
because of any possible objections
that might be urged, but for the pur-
poses of giving a semblance OF max
ing good on rash promises OF economy
were concerned. 1t was in this way
that the governor came to cut off part
of the appropriation for agricultural
research and which the experience Oh
the past year and half among ehe
south Idaho farmers has shown GER
tain loss of million in the value Oh
products and probable loss of sew
eral more millions, so that saving VI
not to exceed $1,000 might be ere
dited to Alexander.

Two to three feet of ice through
out the cave for its entire length of
about one quarter of a mile was found
by Frank S. Spofford, assistant su-
pervisor of surveys, as a result of
the investigation he was ordered to
make by the commissioner of general
land office of the cave located about
25 miles east of Dubois, Fremont
county. Mr.. Spofford described the
cave as being about 80 feet wide over
its whole depth with a varying height
of from 5 to % feet. He penetrated
its full length and found q great I'M
evenness of the base, evidently caus-
ed bv falling rocks from the roof. The
country in which the cave occurs is
a series of lava beds and the cave is
a lava formation. There are no sta
lactites or staglagmites and Mr..
Spofford suggests that the ice forma-
tons are due to seepage water that
has frozen. Ice is present all year.
Settlers in the region are taking ice
and water from the cave for domes-
tic use.

Now that John D. Rockefeller's
wealth has reached a billion dollars,
there are many angles from which one
may view the pile in an effort to OBJ
tain a faint idea of what such sum
really means. For instance, if the
total sum were in silver dollars stack
ed as such coins usually are stacked
the pile would be 248 miles high.
To count the total amount into dol
lars would require 31,250 tons of sill
yer and would need 2,0S3 freight cars
drawn by 104 locomotives to haul it
to the mint. If a person had the en-
tire sum before him and started to
count it dollar by dollar at the rate OF
So a second, it would require him to
work day and night six years and four
months. Working on union hours
would require more than eighteen
years The average man is credited
with ability to lift about two hundred
pounds. A package of 81 bills weigh
ing two hundred pounds would be
worth $4,000. Therefore, if Mr..
Rockefeller's wealth were in 81 bills
done up into two hundred pound
packages it would require about &c.
300 men to lift it In the United
States there are about 100 million
persons and in the entire world there
are considerably less than 2 billion
people. To the former Mr. Rockefeller
would be able to give SO each from
