AT THE CAPITOL.

On February 10 there were but nine
teen days left to the Fifteenth legisla-
ture to dispose of the immense amount
of business before it, including all APP
preparation bills, carrying hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Its most import
ant act during the session can be
summarized into the enactment OF a
new cabinet government to replace the
present one.
The senate has passed the amenda-
tory direct primary bill, which elimin-
ates the statewide primary in Idaho
1t is considered probable that the
house will approve Of the measure
after making few amendments.
The investigation of the adJutant-
generals department Is still under
way. A special committee has looked
into the industrial training school at
st. Anthony and the South Idaho asyl-
um at Blackfoot. The penitentiary has
been visited and improvements to 1t
recommended. Other state depart
men and institutions are to be looked
into.
Many believe the legislature would
be wise if it passed, and the people
ratified the proposed amendment to
the constitution providing for the cleo
ton of members to the legislature to
four instead of two-year terms.
Paramount among the issues pend
ing before. the legislature are: The
land settlement act to provide employ
ment and farm homes for returning
soldiers and sailors; the direct prim-
airy bill. substituting the state conven-
| ton for the statewide primary and all
good roads legislation for the high
ways of the state.
Idaho now has three more counties
| than 1t had month ago-Clark, Jer-
ONE aud Caribou, all created by the
Legislature and approved by Governor
\ Davis
! Shortly following the adjournment
of the legislature, the governor will ap-
point nine department heads, each OF
whom will draw salary of $4,000 q
year They will form the governors
cabinet. Under them will be grouped
the present state departments.
The forty-fourth county in this state
came into. existence on February II
when Governor Davis signed house bill
No. 4, by Whiteman, creating tho
county Of Caribou out Of territory nov
included in BannOck county. 1t is prob
ably the last new county that will b,
created by the present legislature, c-r
is the third that has passed boil
houses, meeting their approval ans
that of the governor.

DIXIE CASE IN
STATE COURT
Judge Hamilton Refuses to Transfer
It to the Federal Court on
the Motion of the
Defendant.

Judge Hamilton denied the petit
ton of the Mississippi River Power
company to transfer the case brought
against them by E. C. and H. e.
Steiner. to the federal court He
ruled that there was no federal ques-
ton involved and therefore. the case
should be heard in the state court
The case is an action for damages
in which the Steiners claim that a
steamer, the Dixie, belonging to
them, was sunk through the negli-
gence Of the power company in clear
ing the timber from the islands
which were submerged by the build
ing of the dam. This suit is one of
two for the same accident, the first
being thrown out Of court at the con-
clusion of the plaintiffs evidence.
John w. Watson was plaintiff, but
transferred the claim back to the
Steiner brothers after costs were as
sessed in the first case.
