The bill to pension Indian War
veterans, which includes the militia
of practically all the Western states
who served against the Indians
from 1850 to 1891, was passed by
Congress ON the morning of March
4th, after an alI-night session, and
was signed by the President few
minutes before the expiration of his
first term, thus providing for these
old veterans a reward which they
so justly earned and which will
enable many to spend the remain
ing few years of their lives with
their loved ones.
This bill had been pending in
Congress for seven years, and on
being advised that il was again held
up in conference on account OF 4
disagreement MIR. Henry Hegwar,
Commander in-Chief of the United
Indian War Veterans, went to
Washington last November for the
third time to lend his aid in the
fight to put it through.
Mr.. Hegwer's unselfsh devotion
to the cause of his comrades won
the esteem and aid of the Congress-
men, and they pledged their aid in
his cause, which they admitted was
not only just but should have been
attended to a great deal sooner.
Not satisfied with this monument
to his unceasing devotion to the
cause, Mr. Hegwar has moved the
headquarters of the United Indian
War Veterans to Washington and
taken up his abode here so that he
will be in position to lend further
aid to his comrades in the way of
advice and furnishing of proof from
the extensive records he has kept
of the different campaigns.

NEW LAWS ENACTED
Ninety New Measures Stand
to Credit of the Out
going Legislature

of the $40 bills introduced during
the session of the third state legis-
lature, ninety measures were enact
ed into laws. Of this number sixty
nine were signed by Gov. Camp
bell and the remaining twenty-one
became laws without his signature.
-Four bills that passed the legis-
laturc were vetoed by Gov. Camp
bell, all OH account of unconstitu-
tionality. One sought to exempt
from it's share of the inheritance
tax the portion of the Lowell estate
which goes to the famous Lowell
observatory At Flagstaff; another
sought to fix the highway between
Phoenix and Prescott via Senator
and Silver Mountain; two others
had the same object, namely to per-
NIT the sale by the state of the old
Industrial School building at Ben
son. The governor vetoed the first
of these bills because it did not cor
rectly describe the land to be con-
veyed, and a second measure was
hastily drafted and rushed through
both houses in the closing days of
the session. It too, on close exam-
ination, proved to be incorrectly
drawn
Important among the enactments
were the minimum wage for wo-
men, fixing $40 week as the min
imum wage for women and girls:
the red-light abatement law, simi-
lar to the California statute; the
the widows pension act; a drastic
anti-gambling law which makes the
participant equally guilty with the
keeper of the game; the commission
OF state institutions, which provides
for a state commission of three
members having charge of all state
institutions. with supervision over
the administrative boards of the
educational institutions; the act re-
classifying the counties of the state
on a basis of assessed valuation;
the bill providing for military train
ing in high schools and providing
for the organization of high school
cadet companies, and the law per-
nitting aliens eligible to citizenship
to own real property within the
state.
Referendum petitions directed
against the minimum wage law for
women, the anti-gambling law, the
commission of state institutions,
and possibly against the bill amend
ing the paving act SO as to abolish
alternate bidding are said to be in
course of being circulated. If sue
cessful in securing the required
number of signatures, the circu-
lators of referendum petitions can
thereby hold up an enactment of
the legislature until the next gen
eral election.

TOURNEY GAMES
SHOW VARIETY

The first games of the first annual
North Idaho Basket Ball tournament
which begun at 1870 this afternoon at
the University of Idaho, ran the en-
tire gamut of possibilities cold

crowd that attended.
Wallace and st. Maries opened the
contests with what turned out to be
an ordinary game of basket ball. to
put it the way one high school boy ex-
pressed it. Wallace won by score of
20 to "a.

spite of the fact that the scores when
the battle was over were farther apart
