(Special.) All doubt that the extra session of the fifteenth xldaho legislature might go by default because of the failure of the formal proclamation to be Issued is removed. Governor Davis, prior to his departure for Washington on irri gation, business, sigrned the call. He held to his original resolution that the session should include nothing but the suffrage amendment. To carry out the purpose of this proclamation Secretary of State Jones Is making rapid preparations for the housing of the legislature, supplying: its members with the necessary sup plies, etc. Members are being heard froni daily by state officials and practically all of them will attend. It will he necessary that there be at least two-thirds present, for a two thirds vote is required to ratify. Women of the state praise the ac tion taken by the governor. The state's chief executive held that Idaho as a suffrage state cannot afford to be placed in a position of jeopardiz ing the federal amendment's ratifica tion and rather than place the amend ment in danger Idaho will do its duty. Governor Is Criticised. The Idaho Daily Statesman has, how ever, taken occasion to offer criticism. This republican paper said editorially: "It is unfortunate that the gov ernor has yielded to the pressure for a special session of the state legislature to ratify the suffrage amendment. "Idaho has had equal suffrage for about a quarter of a century and it has not proved such an unmixed bless ing that our people can see the neces sity for undue haste and further ex penditure simply for the purpose of hurrying by a few months the spread ing of the blessing over our sister states some of whom want it and some of whom do not." Governor Davis, who is president of the Western States Reclamation asso ciation, left this week for Washing ton via Denver, apparently not wor ried in the slightest over the criti cism. He will be joined by the gov ernors of other western states at Washington and they will present a united request to congress to make a liberal appropriation to western states to be used in irrigating arid lands. A preliminary conference was held at Denver. Will Hays, repub lican national chairman, was in Den ver at the same time and held a con ference with the republican chief ex ecutives relative to the issues of the coming campaign. Borah Invited Wt, Probably the most important event from the republican party standpoint aside from the convening of the legis lature is the annual banquet of the Lincoln Day Banquet association, . to be held on February 12. Republican leaders from all parts of the state will be present and an effort is being made to induce United States Senator W. B. Borah to make a special trip from Washington. Party leaders are also keenly watching developments at Washing ton over the effort that is being made to secure the consent of President Wilson to appoint James H. Hawley, former governor of this state, as secretary of the interior to succeed Franklin K. Lane on Mr. Lane's re tirement. Robert H. Elder, national committeeman, has been in Washing ton this week in conference with United States Senator Nugent and they agreed upon a plan of action. Senator Nugent canvassed the sena tors and is understood to have be tween 30 and 40 of them pledged to support Hawley. NEW DALLAS MAYOR ALSO HEAD OK MOHAIR GROWERS. - y , 1 i : V fh? m U. S. Grant. Prominence is given a Folk county man in the recent elec tion of U. S. Grant as mayor of Dallas, Or. In September he was made president of the Ore gon Mohair Goat association, which was organized at the state fair at Salem. Mr. Grant was re-elected pres ident of the National Mohair Growers' association at El Paso December 18. a position he has filled for a number of years. The responsibilities placed upon Mr. Grant do not prevent his giving close attention to his business of breeding pure-bred Angora goats, the animals which supply mohair to the textile mills. PRISONER TAKES POISON ST. HELENS JAIL IS SCENK OF ATTEMPT AT SL1CIDK. "Don't Care for Bail,"' Is Remark Attributed to Man Charged With Non-Support. ST. HELENS, Or.. Jan. 10. (Spe cial.) Dana S. Campbell, ex-service man. and for the last seven years a resident of St. Helens and vicinity, lies in the county jail in a dangerous condition caused from taking a dose of poison with suicidal intent. The poison was taken shortly after Camp bell had eaten his supper, which prob ably saved his life. Before taking the poisonous dose, f'ampbell wrote a letter to his mother. who lives in Tennessee, and started another letter to Sheriff Labare. An other inmate of the jai noticed Camp bell's condition, and attracted the at tention of the janitor, who notified the doctor. Friday afternoon Campbell had preliminary hearing on a complaint filed by his wife, which charged him with non-support of herself and 12 months-oid son. He was committed to jail until he could raise a . f 2000 bond. At the preliminary hearing he re marked that he did not care for bail, so it is presumed he had planned sui cide. A warrant was issued for Camp bell a few weeks ago and served on him at Brownsville, where he was em ployed in a sawmill. He came to St. Helens to answer the charge, and came without any officer accompany- lr.g mm. ueputy sheriff Butler al lowed him several hours' freedom in which to raise ball, and Campbell dis appeared.

Chehalis business men in 1919 did the JMggest year's business -in the history 'of the city. Few if any north west cities of its class have made such progress as Chehalis has in the construction of new tfusiness blocks. Carefully compiled figures show that in spite of high labor and material costs new business buildings erected in this city in 1919 represent an out lay of 197,000. The various manufac turing plants spent for new construc tion, betterments and various im provements the sum of $103,500, while 26,500 was expended for improve ments and betterments, in local busi ness houses. While the building of much-needed new residences hardly kept pace with the other improvements, at least $25,000 was put into new construc tion and improvements. So great was the demand for homes that it is de clared that today close to 90 per cent of the residents of Chehalis own their own homes. The. grand total spent for 1919 improvements will aggregate close to $275,000. Construction to Continue. A splendid construction programme already is in sight for 1920. Improve ments now assured include a $60,000 gymnasium and shop building at the state training school, Lee Proffitt's new brick store building on Chehalis avenue, J. P. Hurley's new store building on Park street. H. W. Marr's new Market-street store building, A. E. Judd's new Market-street store building. White & Gabel's new Market-street store building and J. D. Rice's new modern theater with seat ing capacity of 1200. The total will aggregate at least 1200,000. New 1920 factory construction in Chehalis will run above $150,000. Twenty-five new dwellings are estimated to cost at least $50,000. The Palmer Lumber company soon will begin installation of its ready- cut house equipment in the old fir door factory buildings on State street. Bank deposits have grown remark ably, totaling for the three Chehalis institutions. November 17, the sum of $3,815,185.11. This was a gain of approximately $350,000 since the state ment of September 12. On March 5, 1917, the same three banks had de posits totaling $1,871,768.39. Other Development Aaanred. Great development of the poultry and berry business in and about the city is assured for 1920. Already one poultry plant that will have 6000. lay ing hens during the 1920 fall sea son is assured, with many others promised. Several hundred acres of berries of various kinds are to be planted the coming spring for the Chehalis cannery. A number of these berry fields will run from ten to 20 acres. Further extension of the Chehalis & Cowlitz railroad into the greatest untapped timber belt in western Washington is almost a certainty. This will mean further development of the lumber industry which today is assuming big proportions in Che halis, there being" two large mills here, two shingle mills and one lath mill with two more in sight. One of these will be operating by February 1. Fords Grange Installs. CENTRALIA, Wash.. Jan. 10. (Spe cial.)
