County or Remain in Old.

Boise.-The forty-fourth county In
this state came into existence on Feb
ruary ii, when Governor Davis signed
house bill No. 4. by Whiteman, Great
ing the county of Caribou out of ter
ritory now included in Bannock county.
1t Is probably the last new county that
Will be created by the present legis-
lature, and is the third that has passed
both houses, meeting their approval
and that of the governor. The only
amendment TO the bill is that this
spring there be held an election to
determine whether few townships
shall vote IN go into the old county or
remain in the new. Soda Springs Is
made the county seat.
The administration bin proposing
a cabinet or commission form of gov
eminent for the state, consolidating
many departments to reduce govern
ment expense, will likely be passed.
The joint conference committee re-
ported that the amendments of the
house To the BILL in which the senate
at first declined to concur. have been
overcome. The disagreement arose
over clerical errors and not the sub
stance Of the amendments
The senate passed more bills on
February IL than on any single day
since the session opened The house
also made good record in bills passed
and introduced. Among the more i'm
portant measures passing the house
on February ] was bill changing
the entire state system for assessing
property requiring biannual instead of
annual assessments.

Indigestion and dyspepsia are the common
ct forms, but thin, impure blood, head
aches. backaches, pimples. blotches. dizxi-
