!. LEGISLATURE D1soRGANIzED

L. E. Glonnon, Esq, got back this
week from trip to Boise in connec'
ton with his professional business
While there he looked in on the leg
islature and witnessed not only
some of it's doings, but gathered from
the mass the popular opinion of that
body. 1t was noted with most gen.
eral disapproval that the present ses-
sion of the legislature is disorgan-
ized-leaderles and particularly In
the house are there represented some
fifty-seven varieties of theories and
opinions in government, in which
the most pronounced agreement, II
there be any sign of agreement, is
the disposition to harass the Moore
administration, and put the execu-
tive in bad on his promises OF
economy.
Signalling this coercive and de-
structive course, the legislature, at a
cost of about $1,000 day, has almost
wholly wasted forty-five days Of the
session trying to put over an obnox-
ious primary bill-meanwhile hind
ering and obstructing every form OF
approvable legislation that might be
suggested, only to have the primary
bill vetoed.
BY the present time, the ignoble
session fast drawing to close, its
members have discovered that they
can't coerce Gov. Moore, even il
nothing is accomplished by the ses-
sion, and in this unanimously &C
copied truism, the governor is hailed
with popular esteem from one end of
the state to the other.-Salmon
Herald.

THE CITY BUSINESS

At the council meeting Tuesda
evening the resignation of Captai
Allen as police judge was accepte,
and D. P. Brill was appointed
Captain Allen is going to spend tn
summer on his farm at briggs, ant
left Thursday morning.
Plans are under way to enabl,
anyone wishing to, to deposit will
the city, sum to be placed on inter
est for paying for perpetual care O.
lots in the cemetery. They have on.
application for such care and the.
will announce their plan so Others
may act on 1t.
Bills for extra police hire for mer
acting when regular patrolmen were
ill, were turned down, saying that Il
patrolmen wished to lay of they
must arrange for paying substitutes
themselves. Such bills have beer
paid sometimes before under OBJ.
jections, and the police funds are
overdrawn and the council propose
to hold every fund to its place as
outlined in the budget.
The treasurer's report showed re-
ceipts of the tax money and much
license money and miscellaneous
funds In February amounting to
$25,785, and it puts the city on the
cash basis for few months at least.
That is something the council have
been working for for a long time.
They finished paying off loan to
]. H. Mcdonald of $1,000, for sewer
extensions, and on March 13 will ex-
change the old bonds for the new
ones bearing the lower rate Of inter-
est, to close a transfer that has been
under way for several weeks, involv-
ing $4,000.
in the latter part of April, and 1t be-
comes the duty of the present council
to fix the salaries for the next two
years There is some talk of reduc-
ing them, and suggestion has been
made that salaries be wiped out en-
tirely. 1t has also been suggested
that the salaries of councilmen be
reduced and that of mayor be wiped
out, leaving him to preside over the
city and serve it for the love of home
and fellow citizens. Some men
hesitate about leaving their work
and serving the public for nothing,
and one man has been found who,
when asked If he would consent to be
mayor, replied that he believed not,
so long as it paid salary. He said
II it were made matter of honor
service he would not mind taking his
turn of term or so, but not for
few hundred dollars.
At present the mayor receives
$39Osa year, the city clerk 500 per
year, the treasurer $240 and the
councilmen $50 quarter.
The city officials at present are E.
T. Peck, mayor; Jake Quillin, clerk;
L. ]. Chapman, treasurer; G. F.
Modem, chief of police and Ernest
Anderson, ]. ]. Boyle, Cecil Clark,
Edward Thoreson, w. F. Bergman,
H. B. Snodgrass, H. B. Kinney and
F. M. Taylor, councilmen.
The present council finished the
water system and made some sewer
extensions, and 1t looks as II we
might go on for while without hav-
ing to build anything. What do you
think will be the next thing that will
have to be built, and how soon will it
have to be done?

sat down on the deck again as though

Certainly Howard Carter is the man
most responsible for the opening of

Howard Carter was riding n good
American ''hunch." He believed he

he missed II by n few yards only. The
third time, last fall, he hit the exact
spot. Then he cabled Carnqrvon, who
hastened TO Luxor. 1t was Carter who
supervised the excavation. II was
Carter who cut through the walls TO
the catafalque chamber with his own
hands.
Why Carriers persistence In his hunt

the archaeological value OF the objects

True It Is that the ancient Pharaohs
did lots of "cursing." They posted
many n curse on stone and tablet in
public building and temple. These
curses, however, were mainly directed
against those who should fail to carry
out the Pharaoh's will in respect to
those buildings and temples. AS to
their tombs, the Pharaohs relied upon
the care with which they were hidden
and the skill with which entrance was
blocked rather than upon curses upOn
