tives, which was crowded to the limit.

Chief Justice Alfred Bulge. Preced-
ing the governor the oath of Office was
administered to William f. Lee as
justice of the supreme court. Follow
ing the governor the following elective
state officers took the oath: H. c..

Jeter, secretary of state; Daniel f.
Banks, treasurer; E. C. Gallet, audit
or; Albert Fl. Conner attorney gem
eral; Elizabeth Russum. superintend-
ent of public schools; Stewart Camp
bell, inspector of mines. There was no
speech making, governor Moore re-
serving his discussion of state affairs
for his message TO the legislature,
which will assemble next Monday.

elected Judge of the district court, will
begin his new term of four years on

Rogers. who was reelected clerk of the
district court and ex-officio auditor

County Officers.
On Monday the newly elected coun-
ty officers will take over the reins of
The method of proceed
ure will be about like this: The retir-
ing board of commissioners will meet
Monday forenoon and approve the
bonds of their successors. following
which the chairman of the board will

done, the new board will organize by
the election of a chairman when it will
be ready to do business. The first act
will be to approve the bonds of all
other county officers, following which
these officers will be sworn in. Then
will the wheels of county government
continue to move just as if nothing
had happened, even though two more
democrats have been added to the Of
fetal roster, which now contains the
names:
Donald A. Callahan, senator; Rich
ard E. Thomas and Robert L. Brain
ard, representatives. (These will
qualify in Boise when the Legislature

3. Lucas. treasurer; John E. Sherrard.
probate Judge; Mary ]. Barnes super
ntendent of public schools; w. II.

cry coroner; M. C. Tobin, surveyor.
All of these are republicans except
R. E. Weniger, S. S. Gundlach and
Mrs. Mary J. Barnes, who are demo-
Gratis.
Appointments.
The old board of commissioners will
be in session this week and as far as
will dispose of all pending
business, leaving their success
1rs a clear deck. But the new board
will have plenty to occupy its atten-
ton. Among the matters that will
first receive their attention will prob
ably be the appointment of superin-
.endent of the county infirmary coun-
" health officer and supervisors of
road districts.
They will also act upon the applica-
tons of several county officers for au-
thority to appoint deputies. These ap-
olicants are the sheriff, seven dep
1ties; auditor and recorder, four dep
lties; treasurer. one; assessor, one.
These are the same number of dep
aties now being employed, and the
deputies now serving will doubtless be
with the exception of
those connected with the sheriff's Of
ace. where new deputies will be APP
pointed on account Of the change in
political affiliation of the sheriff.
