Evening !. Chat

Once in 9 while
I sit and smile
About the days
o. long ago,
When ! wlz young
And foolish. and
Simple like, ye know
And as ! gaze n
Back on them days,
] often wunder why
The good ole people
Livin' then,
Put up with you and
With all them giddy,
Frivilous and simperin
Sickly ways,
That you and
stoutly decry.
In young folks
Now a days
But time has given
Us a place among
The ole folks now,
And retrospection
Lends the hand -
o. sympathy, somehow,
And though the young folks
Don't jist do
The way that we advise
It's well to sit
Aud mediate
And kinda close yer eyes,
And once in a while
Jist kinda smile,
And think o. long ago,
When we wuz young and foolish,
And simple like, We know.

No Reward for Laziness.

The only kind of people who are
complete failures in life are the ones
who never try to accomplish anything.
For those who endeavor to achieve
something worth while there is always
reward, even though they seem to
fail, but for downright luziness there
is no reward-and there shouldn't be.

MILITIA PAY BILL
PASSED BY SENATE

The militia pay bill was passed by
the senate at its late afternoon session
and sent back to the house from which
il will go to the governor for his sig
nature. This measure appropriates
sf333.50 for the payment of the offic-
ers and enlisted men of the Second
Idaho regiment from the time they
were ordered to mobilize until sworn
into the service of the United States.
There was not dissenting voice in
the senate against the measure.
Senator Grant moved that all mem
bers be provided with copies of the
codes and session laws. Senator Thorn
as offered an amendment that those
senators who desired codes and session
laws, send their names and such re-
quest to the secretary of the senate
He thought that some of the members
would probably not desire them and as
they are expensive, the cost would be
saved to the state. Members were al
so requested to leave their names and
city addresses with the secretary for
the sake of quick reference.
Senator Rockwell who had objected
to the haste manifested in the passage
of the militia pay bill, withdrew his
objection after the senate reconvened
following the joint session to hear the
governors message.

PARLIAMENTARY COURTESY TO
BE OBSERVED IN HOUSE

Members of the house of representa-
tives must follow parliamentary cour-
tesy when they desire to address the
speaker or want reorganization from the
floor. Speaker Alfred who. since his
inauguration has been handling the
big assembly with machine like regu-
larity and yet with extreme courtesy
to minority as we'll as majority mem
bers, called attention of members to
this fact.
The speaker asked that members de-
string to be recognized rise from their
seats and address the chair and then
wait until such reorganization had been
received. He said he knew none of the
members would show fellow member
the discourtesy of rising and speaking.
after the chair had recognized some
other member. and while he was
speaking.

QUICK ACTION TAKEN
ON THE LEGISLATIVE
APPROPRIATION BILL

The legislative appropriation ex
pense bill, calling for $4,000, or $l2,-
600 less than was called for two years
ago, appeared in the house Just before
adjournment yesterday afternoon and
needless to say was passed by unani-
nous vote and transmitted to the sen
ate. The house also saw to it that
each member was provided with 81
worth Of stamps and 81 worth or
wrappers, and while the resolution so
providing was passed before the gem
eral appropriation bill came up, mem
bers today received such supplies.
Correction Of the first days iournol
proved a strenuous task but was final
ly accomplished. Counsellor Johnston.
of Bingham county, caused a ripple of
mirth when he solemnly arose. follow
ing the correcting process and remariS :
ed that considering the record Ind
been made up from memory it had re-
markably few mistakes in it. Repre-
sentative Shearer called the attention
of the speaker to the fact that the
wrong use of initials in the journal
could be traced to the secretary of
states record where the initials were
wrong.
Amusement was also caused when
Counsellor Johnston asked to have ex-
plunged from the journal the state
ment, appearing therein, in connection
with the selection of seats by mem
bers, Democrats reserving tic right
to make their selections first" The
gentleman from Bingham said he did
not believe the majority wished such a
statement to appear. Representative
Anderson moved 1t be stricken out.

AID FOR
FORT HALL ASKED
Memorial to Congress Intro
duced by Senator Evans
of Power County in Be-
half of Reservation.

The Indian appropriation bill now
pending before congress should be
amended so as to include an appropri-
alton of $4,000 for the Fort Hall Indian
reservation. in the southeastern part Of
the state, in the opinion of Senator
Evans of Power county. He introduced
"A memorial to congress asking such IN
appropriation be included. The senate
passed the memorial. 1t is as follows
ITO the honorable the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America, and congress assem-
bled
Your memorialists, the legislature
of the state Of Idaho, respectfully rep
resent: that,
Whereas. the Fort Hall Indian res
ervation in the state of Idaho Is so sit
uated with reference to the surround
ing farming territory that great many
ranchers and farmers living on farms
surrounding the said Indian reserva-
ton are necessarily forced to cross the
same in hauling their produce to and
their supplies from market. and.
Whereas, the said Indian reserva-
ton lies partly within the territory in
cluded within the boundaries of three
counties in the state of Idaho, and,
whereas, the land included within the
said reservation is not subject to taxi
ton, and travel in this part of the
state must necessarily cross the said
reservation, and the construction OF
good roads thereon would work great
and unjust hardship upon the settlers
living in the surrounding and contig-
uous territory, and.
Whereas, a great many Indians iiv-
ing ON the said reservation are now
engaged in farming and are much II
need of good roads to assist them III
hauling their produce to and their sup
plies from market, and,
Whereas, the construction of good
roads on this said Indian reservation
would be of incalculable benefit to the
Indians living thereon both from a ma
terial and an educational point of view
Now, therefore, your memorialists
urgently request and recommend that
the Indian appropriation bill now pend
ing before congress be so amended as
to include an appropriation of $4,000
for the construction of good Wagon
roads on the Fort Hall Indian reserva-
ton, the said appropriation to be ex-
pended under the direction and super
vision OF the superintendent Of the sale
