Boise, ldaho.-Tho passage OF sew
eral important administration bills on
February 8 by the house Of represen-
tatives. including the act giving to the
governor of the state power TO re-
move sherifs and county prosecuting
attorneys for failure to enforce the
prohibition laws, and the activity ON
the part Of the majority to bring ap-
preparation measures to the front, to
gether with other administration bills,
we're said ON excellent authority to be
the signs forecasting an early ad-
j0urnment Of the fourteenth Idaho as
sembly. A -fifty-day session may be
the limit, and the wheels OF beth
houses may be expected to move rap

Goehry administration bill, seeking to
clothe the commission with power to
supervise the issuance Of stocks,
bonds and other securities by public
utilities under Its jurisdiction, BY q
vote OF As to Is. almost without de-
bate. No real opposition has so far
developed to the commission In the
lower house. 1t has practically all
been confined to the senate.
Party lines were again drawn when
the bill TO empower the governor to
remove sheriffs and prosecuting attor-
neys who failed TO enforce the prohi-
bitIon laws was passed. The house
passed the Storey-Johnson memorial
to congress, asking that the collister
aats In Boise be purchased and re-
moved TO improve the approach to the
state capitol.

House Emhlttered by Summary De
caption o. Bills and RetaIiates BY
TahlinS Number Of Senate
Measures.

Boise, Idaho The members OF the.
two houses are at loggerheads over
the right OF way for bills originating
In either house and bitterness was
caused by the summary decapitation
Of house measures in the senate on
February Is. with the result that the
house promised to retaliate and hold
up or kill senate measures. The
question was also raised over the
validity Of bills, as amended. that
have passed the lower house. The
discovery was made that the journal
dOes not contain amendments, and, as
this document Is the only record Of
the legislature as approved from day
to day, the failure to record amend
ments may jeopardize some import
ant legislation.
/. The strained situation between the
two houses arose when il was learned
by the lower house that the senate
had killed eight house bills, inciud-
ing the peniteniary reform measure.
which eliminates testimony OF con-
vict as to former prison records; the
MCGOWAN bin, requiring life insur-
ance agents to become residents Of
the state before they can sell insur-
ance In Idaho, and others relating to
iuries and peremptory challenges.
The senate held the bills were i'm
material and served to clog the cal
endar. Two other important bills
were as badly treated. The Republi.
can measure calling for an examina.
ton and audit Of the state land de-
partment's books was killed and the
house bill giving the public utilities
commission supervision over securi.
ties of public utilities was recon-
mended for indefinite postpOnement.
In retaliation the house laid on the
table the senate bill seeking to accept
the terms OF the rural post road act
the Nelson bill relating "a fees In dis
| trio courts, the Atherton irrigation
| project bill and the Big Lost river
| game preserve bill. The senate reso-
luton calling for an amendment to
the state constitution so that county
commissioners may rotate in office
was killed. Representative Struthers
| barely snatched the bureau Of mines

ponement when he had it referred 10

PHOSPHATE FOUND ON

Dunlap, Nov. 23.-Phosphate-
bearing limestone or phosphate
limestone has been found on the
farm of w. A. Graham in Sc

sis recently returned by state
chemists, J. w. Sample, to whom
a specimen has been sent for ex-

rock contains 20 per cent. phos-
phoric acid. as we'll as carlo.
mates of calcium and magnesium
In considerable quantity. The
deposit appears on the Graham
farm in a ledge 20 feet thick and
runs thru the farm from north to

BEAR REPORTED SEEN
ON CUMBERLAND MOUNTAIN

Reports reach here of a bear
being seen on Cumberland Noun
tain near Tracy City, Parties
with dogs and rifles have been
securing the woods but with the
exception of the tracks of bruin
there has been nothing doing.
Mr.. Bear disappeared into some
hole and is wisely staying there.
1t is some years since a bear
was killed in this section and it
is very unusual TO even so much
as suspect one to be in these
mountains. The last recorded
instance of a bear being shot was
about 1896 when hunters killed a
small black bear in the mountains
near Peter Cave Cove. a very wild
and solitary region. There are
plenty of places in the mountains
which were frequented as dens
by bear in times past but just now
they have no inhabitants in bruin
population.
