gun club last Friday evening the
club was organized by the cleo
ton of the following officers:
F. A. Kelsey, president; John
Funke, vice president; Ira
Robertson, secretary; A. H. Nau,
treasurer. Constitution and by
laws were adopted at the meet
ing and the annual dues were
placed at $3.50. Quite a number
of men around town have signed
the membership roll and as soon
as the weather will permit a
shooting range will be secured
and the necessary equipment
ordered. Several members Of
the former Grangeville club have
signifed a willingness to join the
local club and it is quite probable
that a nice sized club can be
maintained here in future, II
will afford good amusement fol-
the members and may result II
much benefit.

New Coin on Market

The First National Bank re-
ceived a shipment of $500 worth
of new coin late last week from
San Francisco and is now hand
ing the same out to its custom
ers through the regular channels
of business. The shipment con-
sisted of $100 worth of one and
two dollar greenbacks and 5000
worth of silver coins dimes,
quarters and halves. The new
coins are very attractive in de-
sign, the half dollar pieces hav-
ing the figure Of a woman
wrapped in a flag and carrying
in her arm a branch Of ever
green, with a rising sun and the
words, Liberty "In God We
Trust" and the year on one side
and on the reverse a spread
eagle and the words "E Pluribus
Unum" and United States of
America, Half Dollar" The
quarter dollar pieces have the
same wording but the figure
bears a shield in one hand and an
olive branch in the other, while
the eagle is shown in fight. The
designs Of the coins are by far
the most attractive Of any we
have ever seen and are worthy
of preserving. In fact, we hope
to be able to preserve quite a few
of them as time passes.

SeIway Bill Passes Senate

The Selway county enabling
act passed the senate with slight
opposition last Saturday and is
now awaiting the governors sig
nature to become a law. How
ever, even this does not create
the county. The enabling act
only calls for an election to be
held within the boundaries Of the
proposed county some time in
July and at that time it will be
necessary for a majority of the
voters within the proposed coun-
ty to vote favorable to it's
creation.
The enabling act calls for the
temporary county seat to be es-
tablished at Kooskia. With a
goodly portion Of the residents
Of the Winona section strongly
against being included in the new
county, a fairly strong opposition
showing at Sites and possible
difficulty to arise between Koos-
kia and Kamiah over the location
of the county ir looks as if the
new county may still have hard
shedding before it reaches home.

Two hounds belonging to Os-

public demonstration at tn e
White House, but few had a peep
at the much rarer scene. Pass
ing the presidents room at the
capitol at noon, a handful of
sightseers found the door open
and caught a glimpse of the presi-
dent himself within. They then
saw him rise and greet a large,
distinguished-featured man, who
had come down the corridor a
few minutes before and hesitat-
ed at the entrance like an utter
stranger approaching the pres
ence of the chief executive.
1t was the chief justice and the
little group of visitors were
treated to the spectacle of a pres
ident taking his official oath. Ac-
companied by Mrs. Wilson and
Vance Mccormick, who managed
the presidents campaign for re-
election, Mr.. Wilson had come to
the capitol two hours before to
clear up odds and ends of the
executive business passed on to
him by the expiring congress.
Secretary Tumulty and most of
the cabinet members had gather
ed in the room while the presi-
dent worked.
AS he took the oath Mrs. Will
son stood near him, dressed in
mourning because of the recent
death of her sister.
Mr.. Wilson was sworn in at
1903, a few minutes after con-
gress had adjourned. With stern
infections in his voice he re-
peated the oath as it was read by
the chief justice:
Il do solemnly swear that
will faithfully execute the office
of the president of the United
States and will, to the best of my
ability, preserve, protect and de
fend the constitution of th'
Uuited States.
James D. Maher, clerk of thu
supreme court, held out the Bibl
used by Mr.. Wilson when he wa
inagurated as governor of New
Jersey and as president before
and the president bent low AM
kissed it.
The president, completely wor,
out by laborious work in connec
ton with the ending of the ses
sion of congress and the interna
tional situation, remained in
doors today except for his trip t
the capitol.
Before noon tomorrow tn
president, with Mrs. Wilson, wi
go to the capitol to witness tn
Inauguration of Vice Presiden
Marshall. After the return

presidential luncheon will be sery

PRESIDENT is
INAUGURATED
President Wilson Took Oath
of Office a Second Time on
March 4th --- Looks Worn
With Care.

Washington, March 4.-Presi-
dent Wilson took the oath of
Office for his second term at noon
today in his room at the capital
and will be formally inaugurated
tomorrow with public ceremo-
nies.
Before desk piled with ex-
ecutive business laid before him
in the closing hours of congress,
and surrounded by members of
his official family, the president
reaffirmed with uplifted hand
and grave features his promise
to uphold the constitution in
whatever crisis may confront the
nation in the momentous four
years before it.
After he had repeated solemn
ly the oath taken by Washington
a century and a half ago, he
kissed the bible at the passage
reading:
"The Lord is our refuge; an
ever present help in time of
trouble" "
Chief Justice White admins
tered the oath and was the first
to extend his congratulations.
Wringing the presidents hands,
the chief justice looked fervently
into his face for a moment and
said brokenly:
"Mr. President, l am very,
very happy"
Members of the cabinet then
crowded up with expressions OF
regard. Mr.. Wilson received
them with a smile and then
turned back to his desk to com.
plete his interrupted task.
Vice President Marshan die
not take the oath today. He
will be sworn in for his second
term tomorrow at the specia
session of the new senate with
the usual vice presidential inau.
guration ceremony.
Tonight the capitol was fillec
with thousands of persons who
came from the four quarters OF
the nation for the quadrennia
event. Although the inaugura
was planned under the presi
dents direction to be as simple
as the circumstances would per
nit, it will not be different il
general character from the usua
ceremony.
AS customary, the presiden
after he has taken the oath, ant
delivered his inaugural address
in an open air stand before the

IDAHO CONDEMNS
U. S. SENATORS
Legislature Severely Censures
FiIibuSter Senators -- Many
Bills Being Rushed Through
In Final Hours.

Boise, March 5.-The four
teenth Idaho legislature went on
record today in condemning the
IL United States senators who
blocked by their filibuster pass
age of the bill seeking to give
the president power to arm
American ships. The resolution
was introduced in the house by
two republicans, Representatives
Miles of Nez Perce and Daught-
ers of Kootenai.
1--WE condemn" the resolution
states, ''in unmeasured terms
the attitude of the IL senators
who by their filibuster in the
senate of the United States con-
gress prevented that body from
enacting measures to uphold the
hands of the president in the
present international crisis.
This is not the time for personal
and selfish motives to prompt
the acts of members of the ma
tional congress, thereby throw
ing a stumbling block in the way
of our chief executive in his eff
forts to protect the rights of
American citizens on the high
seas, as guaranteed to them by
international law"
But four house members voted
against the resolution.
The United States senatorial
filibuster was duplicated in a
small way in the house of repre-
sentatives during today's session
by Representative A. B. Lucas
of Adams county, who succeeded
in tieing up legislation by OBJ
jecting to unanimous consent be-
ing given to advance measures,
forcing the reading of each in
full. The house work was great
ly delayed thereby.
The Hawley county division
bill to create a new county out of
Bannock was defeated by a vote
of II to 13 in the senate.
By passing senate bill No. 64
in the house, a state department
is created in a bureau of mines
to be composed of the governor,
state mine inspector and three
others to be appointed by the
chief executive.
There were number of ap.
preparation bills passed by the
house during the day. The more
important measures passed by
both houses are as follows:
In the senate:
Senate bill No. 215, by commit
tee on military affairs -Appro
priating $500 for purchase O
service badges for members o
the second Idaho regiment VIII

Senate bill No. 213, by fsl

House bill No. 257, by educa
tional committee ee-Providing

Entrance of Americans
Into ActiOe Fighting
Is Hailed With Delight
BY Associated Press

London. Oct. 29.-The entrance of
units of the American Army into az
tive service on the western front, al
though overshadowed as a news item
by the Austro-G erman invasion OF
Italy, reserves prominent notice in
the newspapers as a much more pic
turesque event. The Daily News
says:
1T would be idle presumably 20
expect Germany in the intoxication
of her Italian victory to appreciate
its full meaning. This does not alter
the facts. either immediate or pros
pective. Germany has catl-
ed in the new world to redress the
balance of the old. The balance will
be redressed."
The Daily Express remarking on
American energy, says it BODIES i'll
for Germany and gives added GER
tainty that victory, however long de-
layed. is assured. 1t warns that this
does not justify a relaxation of Brit
ish efforts. The Graphic says:
The descendants of the embattled
farmers of Concord have fired a shot,
which like that of the Minute Men.
will be heard round the world.
The advent of the United
States has more than made UP for
Russia's temporary weakening. II
should have a steadying influence in
view of the blow at Italy and should
be recalled whenever there is a
tendency toward pessimism."
