BOISE. Idaho, Jan. 10. (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.

ST. HELENS, Or.. Jan. 10. (Spe

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

Before taking the poisonous dose,

another letter to Sheriff Labare. An
other inmate of the jai noticed Camp

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

At the preliminary hearing he re

CHEHALIS, Wash.. Jan. 10. (Spe
cial.). 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.
