Idaho, April 3. (Special.) All three political parties are active, for the primary campaign is rapidly approaching and aspirants for political office and party leadership are being forced to the front. With the Repub licans, the main fight will revolve around the Senatorship. It will be a tour-cornered contest, with Senator Bradj, Representative French, Chief Justice Ailshie and Frank R. Gooding, ex-Governor In the race. The resignation of Justice Ailshie from the bench is expected ' at any time, leaving a vacancy that Governor Haines will be called upon to fill. The present low condition of Justice Stewart may prevent his continued ac tive service on the bench and there Is a possibility that Governor Haines may be called upon to make a second ap pointment. In the event of the pas age of the constitutional amendment, to be voted upon at the next general election, increasing the Supreme Court membership from three to five. Gov ernor Haines will be vested with the power to appoint two more members of that court, or a total of four ap pointments in all, during his adminis tration. Governor Alone In Race. Governor Haines is the only an nounced Republican aspirant for Gov ernor, but opposition is possible. Of the mentioned timber there is Included Senator Davis, of American Falls; Charles Lu Heitman, of Rathdrum, and George Crum, of Lewiston. John P. Vollmer, the heaviest indi vidual taxpayer in the state, one of Idaho's richest men, a railroad builder and pioneer, in a communication to George W. Perkins has indicated that he would not be averse to accepting the Bull Moose party nomination for Governor. At the same time he went over bodily to the Progressive party, although he has been a Republican for many years. Guy Martin, the party's candidate for Governor at the last election, also is mentioned as an as pirant. Those party leaders who claim to be able to forecast the Pro gressive party primary lineup assert that Vollmer will be the party's can diate for Governor, Martin will be the candidate for Justice of thti Supreme Court and Paul Clagstone, the chief opponent of Governor Haines at the last primary and a former leading Re publican, will be the party's candidate for United States Senator. ProgreMnlvei to Klffht Alone. The Progressives have given out the positive statement that there will be jiu amalgamation with the Republicans or Democrats and that the fight will be straight down the line from Senator to Constable, with full tickets in th field. They are planning their first big state rally for Boise April 8, when Bainbridge Colby, of New York, and Vice-Chairman McCormick, of the Na tional committee, will be here for conference and will speak at a mass meeting. The Pinney Theater has been obtained for this raly and It will be watched with statewide interest. The Democrats are just as active as the other two parties. Ex-Governor Hawley and John F Nugent, heads of the two respective factions in the par ty, are aspirants for Senator and are busily engaged lining up their political fences. M. S. Alexander, who ran against Senator Brady for the Governorship four years ago, will be an aspirant for Governor again. LOCAL LINEMAN IS DEAD J. I.

SCOW IS READY FOR TASK Strata in Bed of Stream to Be De termined Bonds Believed to Be Legal and Engineers Plan to Start Building Soon. VANCOUVER. Wash.. April S. (Spe cial.) To determine the formation of the river bed where the Interstate bridge Is to be built, a crew of men will begin to make borings and sound- nga tomorrow on a line drawn from the foot of Washington street to a point at right angles. across tbe Colum bia River. The steamer Imperial to day towed a scow from Portland to be used in the work. The scow contains the necessary machinery, having been used in similar work on the Broadway bridge In Portland. A pipe is driven into the bed of the river and a gasoline propelled pump sucks up the strata, which can be ob served. It Is thought that sand and gravel will be found in the bottom of the river. The bonds for Multnomah County are thought by the engineers to be legal and It is said that they will begin ac tual construction as soon as bids are advertised for and the contract let. As the bridge will be built chiefly from this end, the engineers will es tablish offices as near to the work as possible. There Is a railroad sidetrack to within 100 feet of the river bank. so that material can be dumped to the end of the bridge and there will be no hauling to do. Cars can be sidetracked here and unloaded at the least possible expense, and there Is also a dock 200 feet below the Washington-street bridge site. Steamers can unload here If desired or go to the Government dock few hundred feet upstream. It is not probable that more than from 160 to 200 men will be employed on the bridge at any one time, some times less, John L. Harrington has said.

Including the general location of the bridge and data regarding the river conditions, tides and currents a mile above and below the bridge. All this Information was forwarded with tbe application yester day. "It may take the department a month before permission Is granted, or maybe a little longer, though we may be able to rush this, said Mr. Howard. "As soon as the permit is granted we will begin the design of the details of the bridge and then advertisements forbids will be published. We hope to bave this all attended to by early Summer, so that the contractors may begin work as soon as high water recedes. Then we shall do our best to have all the pier work completed before another high water so that we shall not be delayed."
