All doubt that Idaho would be dry was removed when the house of rept-esentatlves passed the senate local option bill known as No. 60, which automatically puts every brew ery In a dry county In the state out of business and makes It impossible to obtain intoxicating liquors In prohibi tion districts. The climax of the dry program will come when the senate passes the state wide prohibition bill sent over by the house and now with the committee on privileges and elections. The first step in this program was the passage of a constitutional prohibition amend ment against which but one vote was cast. The statutory bill followed and the setiate hill was passed by the house with every Mtc In that assem bly registered for it. Fight on Utilities Commission. Interest in legislative matters has shifted to the fight being made on the public utilities commission. Two bills haw been introduced relative to the commission, one providing for the re peal of the commission law In Its en tirety and another an, end lug It so as to take away much of Its power. The greatest opposition to the law Is because of Its provision requiring all corporations seeking to do busi ness In any section of the state to ((lire from the public utilities com mission a certificate of public conven ience and necessity. The effect of this feature of the law U corporation control In Its most advanced meaning In the past two years the commission has not only regulated prices of pub lic utilities, but It has regulated com petition. Big Fight to Come. Slow progress la being made In the workmen's compensation aud employ ers' llalHty law. The bill drawn by the commission appointed for the pur pose two years ago still rests In the hands of the house committee. A storm awaits :ts report to the house, for organised labor la up in arms against certain provisions of the meas ure. They charge that It waa drawn In the Interests of the employers, that it is unfair to the workmen, In whose Interests It waa supposed to be drafted and that recommendations made by labor organlxatioua at the public hear lags held by the commission, were al most wholly ignored. This is another measure that Oov- erniir Alexander Is believed to be op poaed to, but whether his disapproval would extend aa far as a veto, la a question that frlenda of the measure are asking themselves. County Division Again. One more county division bill h.i appeared In the legislature. Emmett aspires to be the county seat of Oeiu county, which It is proposed to create out of Canyon and Boise counties. If the theory advocatud when the Untie county bill was pending Is carried out, the fate of Uem county Is already aeal ed After one county had been cre ated in the southeast, and two In north Idaho the southeastern members came forward with the Butte county project In the right made for the creation of Butte county the southeastern mem ers made It clear that they proposed to maintain the status quo, so tar as representation in the state legislature is concerned. For that reason they demanded that for every county ere ated in the north there should be a new county In the southeast. As there are no more county division plan brewing for that territory, it is said that members from the soi.lheustern counties will not give their consent to the Butte county proposal. Relatives Lose Their Jobs The Rockwell nepotism bill, which had passed the senate, met with pra tlcully no opposition lu the house, and was passed, but four votes being rtg lstered aga:ist it. Oovernor Alexan der asked for such a measure in his message. The bill wuh so amended us to apply to present state, county, sit town, village and township officers and prohibits the appointment either by them or voting for relatives of any other officer for office There will bo an exodus of relatives from offices all over the state as a result of the pass age of the measure. The bouse passed the Klrod bill call ing on the governor to appoint an ad dttlonal Judge for the fifth Judicial district, composed of Bannock, Frank llii. Bear Lake, Oueida, Bingham aud 1'ower counties. The senate Joint memorial by Sen ator Zuck of Twin Falls calling on congress for federal aid In the reclam atlon of arid and swamp lands was passed in the house. Among bills passed by the house was one to reduce the salaries of at torncy general, auditor and treasurer, and another providing that 96 per cent of funds raised for good roads by taxa Hon be expended in the districts where collected. PEACE CONFERENCE ON MEXICAN BORDER (Special to The Argus.) Naco, Aria. General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the United States army, arrived here and began an in vestlgatlon of the Mexican border trouble which has resulted In the kill ing of five persons and the wounding of 47 by Mexican bullets crossing the line during the 111 weeks' siege of Nn co. Sonora. Oeneral Scott began n series of con versatlnns with persons Informed on Mexican affairs and also with those In WMl witii Oeneral Hill, the fnrranxa commander entrenched In Naco, So nora, and Oovernor Maytorcna, the Villa besieger. Oeneral Scott's peace conference was held with an army of 47in men, under command of Brigadier Oencrnl Tasker II. Bliss, encamped opposite the Mexican battleground. The American army forces now consist o" the Eleventh. Eighteenth and Twenty second Infantry. 10 troops each of thu Ninth and Tenth cavalry and Mirco batteries each of the Fifth and Sixth field artillery. This Is a force greater than the combined forces of the two Mexican campa, with artillery aleo su perlor to that of the Mexicans. OREGON LEGISLATURE HAS COMPLETED ITS WORK LOWIGZ TAKEN BY .THE GERMAN ARMY ENGLISH FLEET SHELLSIGERMANS (Special to The Argus.) Amsterdam, via London The Sluls, Netherlands, correspondent of the Telegraaf sends the following: "A dispatch says thst violent fight Ing occurred on the Yser The fleet'a guue are playing havoc In the Uerman ranks. Trains filled with wounded are entering Bruges Most of these trains proceed eastward." Paris. The following official com munlcatton waa given out In I'arle: "From the aea to the Lya we have gained a little ground before Nleuport and St Oeorgea. "From the Lye to the Olae the al lied forcee have aelsed a portion of the Uerman trenches of the first line on the front running through Hiche bourg. 1. Avenue and Ulvenchy Lex La Bassee. "From the Olse to the Argoupc th. superiority of our artillery continued to be munllested by the interruption of the enemy's fire, the destruction of machine gun shelters and observalor les, and the dispersion of a consider able number of troops." (Special to The Argus.) Posen, via Berlin and London Field Marshal von Hlndenberg's army took Lowlci. Russian Poland, defeat ing the Russian right wing after heavy fighting for several days. Thr capture of the city compelled the further retirement of the Russian lines, which have lost .4 kilometers (21 mllea) since the evacuation of Leds. The lines are now scarcely 40 kilometers from Warsaw. The Oerman pursuit is proceeding successfully along the whole front, hut the Russians are offering it firm re sistance in positions which were pre vlously fortified In preparation for de feat The resistance of the Russians has by no means bi en fully broken, but their losses In the most recent battles have In, ii e Ilngly hem v Field Marshal von llludcnlierg says thai the Russian losses since Novetu ber 1,1, tin ludiug lou,oi)ii prisoners, have been enormous The opinion Is expressed here that the Russians probably will be unable to resume offensive operations, but that they still form a powerful army and that there Is yet much to be done befor.' the Oermaus can establish win ter uuartere at Warsaw. (Special to The Argus.) FORTUNES LOST IN A EEWIMINUTES (Special to The Argus.) Chicago Fortunes were lost by speculators when the price of May wheat dropped )f cents aud July wheat III i cuts Margin calls of 15 cents a bushel for July aud 26 cents a bushel for May. the biggest margin called on the board in years, were the Immediate causes. Wall street specu lators were the heaviest losers. STILL FIGHTING OVER WILSON'S SHIP BILL (Special to The Argue ) Washington. The fight over the government ship purchase bill was shifted from the senate to the house. In the senate the measure, blocked by determined republican opposition, was dlsplai ed as the unfinished busi ness, and a cloture rule, deslgued to terminate the filibuster forcibly, waa taken up. Administration forces began work on a compromise bill to be passed through the house. Leaders on that aide or the calptol, however, were far from confident that the proposed com promise would unite the divided sen ate democrats or win support from re publicans. They declared the admin Istrallou did not concede enough In the propom d compromise to secure Us passage. The cloture rulo presented In the senate met the same republican fill buster thut had blocked the shipping bill. The administration compromise measure, as it was being framed would organise a shipping board with an If pmpi latlou of $4o.oun,nuu to engage In shipping for a period ending two years after the termination ot the war. Then the ships would be turned over to the secretary of the mil), to be leased or operated In the merchant service lu his discretion This plan to place the government permanently lu the ship plug business was the point Insisted upon by the administration It Is also the provision against which the senate republcan filibuster la chiefly aimed GERMANS IN U. S. AMERICANSIIRST (Special to The Argus.) Merlin via iMlidoa. The National .fining publishes an interview with James W. Oerard, the t'uited States ambassador to Oermany, concerning the situation brought about by the presentation of the American note to the Uerpiau government relative to the neutral shipping In the sea war sone recently created by Oermany. Asked by the interviewer concern Ing the attitude of Uerman Americans. Ambassador Oerard Is reported in the National Zeltung as having answered "People in Oermany are too readily disposed to believe that Oerman Aim i leans would be first Oermans and thin Americans In ease of war Kxaetlv the opposite would be the case. Amer nan citizens of Oerman birth are tirst and foremost Americans and the same pint is true of Irish Americans. " ON FOOD STUFF (Siecial to The Argus.) Washington Tin- Importance which the Ccrmmi government attaches to the unrestricted shipment o! food stuffs for It! civilian population was emphasized at the stall department by Count von IP rnstorff, the Oerinuii amhasaadoi, who eonrerred with hoih Sci i tary Bryan and Counsellor Lan sing While no formal statement i, garding the ambassadors (all was is sued hy the department, It was said afterward that he had hlnti d that war fare on merchant ihlfpJsa might h. relaxed If Ocrmuii) could he assured of a continuous rood supply for In i non ( omhatant population 'I he ambassador dlsi usseil to some extent the case of the Wllhelinina. an American steamer, seized b) Orca Britain en route to Oerman) with food studs He believes the American gov eminent should take an Interest In the safe ill livery of the cargo to Oermany No formal action bas been taken by the state department beyond request Ing Oreat Britain to postpone prize court proceedings until the owners of the vessel, who have submitted a brief to the department, are enabled to die cuss the case further here. Salem The legislature marted the last week of the 28th si s.-don wttts the usual congestion of business amV as In psst sessions confusion prornls to mark the closing hours. All " really Important tneaauree remain is be passed, few of them hnvlng goiie through both houses. No nu.i'iircs of statewide Interest have rem bed the governor's desk.

Irrigation codes are not ) t revised, fish and game legislation - In a tan gle, and complications aie threatened on consolidation. The legislature has approved the lease of Summer and Abert lakes by the state land board to an eastern svn- dlcale. headed by Jason Moore. Tha large appropriation bills are in but have not been passed. Although the Joint ways and moan committee bas consigned to the legis lative cemetery bills appropriating a total of lltMltlM and cut requests for appropriations to the bone, there vers still pending lu the legislature men tires appropriating the huge sum of 5,6fj.1,:;o7, to be disposed of during th closing week of the session.

The mens ure prnposea a system of annuities similar to those In effect by many countries of Kurope and by some tit the Canadian provinces. Sheriffs of the state won a victory when the house passed Representative Kelly's bMI, providing that hereafter all taxea ahall be collected by the sher Iffa Inatead of the county treasurers, and it means that all bills increasing the salaries of the latter nfflrlals will be withdrawn, provided this last meas ure passes the senate. The first test In the state senate on the prohibition bill was a victory for the advocates of a atrlct law.
