The plan is received with enthusiasm, here and north-cm Idaho has in the past voted in favor of such annexation by an overwhelming majority. It is argued that southern Idaho would now consent because of lack of railway connection between the two parts of the state and especially because of the great expense resulting from the mining riots in the Coeur d'Alene district and two years of martial law. it I it it it it I it it it (A if i (A if I it I it I it it it it it it tt it it it I "I thank you for your presence at this ceremony. I shall be gratified if you continue to manifest such an interest in state affairs, and especially such as appertain to the administration of my important trust.

I realize that the obligation just taken imposes grave responsibilities, exacts the utmost fidelity and demands the highest order of ability which I can bring to the discharge of these new duties. "Experience in official life has satisfied me that the highest incentive to reach the full measure of public expectation in this behalf is generally found in the cordial co-operation and sympathetic interest manifested by the public in the laudable undertakings of its representatives. Without these, my efforts will be of little avail. During the late political campaign, I stated from rostrum and elsewhere, that if elected governor, I would serve my term as such. I was induced to make this statement in view of the fact that a report was current that, if elected, I would make my office a stepping stone to still higher honors within the bestowal of the legislature now in session; a course not in keeping with my idea of public duty.

Vise or foolish, the purpose then expressed was well considered and deliberately made. Warm and devoted friends, who do not view my utterances in the sz.nie light that I do, continue to give me a prominence in the approaching senatorial contest, which does not meet with my approval. "To the end that the administration of this office may not be embarassed at its very beginning by an unseemly ambition, and that it may continue high above the suspicion of promoting the political aspirations of its incumbent by expedients of doubtful propriety, I deem it proper to say here and now that for the ensuing four years my duty is here, and no condition can arise which will tempt me to aspire to or accept any other office or election inconsistent with the declarations heretofore made." size the fact that he would not be a candidate for the United States senate from Montana during his incumbency as governor. Everybody then crowded around him, shaking hands and congratulating him. Governor Smith turned over the office keys and the combination of the great safe, and in a few moments the new governor was alone at his desk.

He said, In reply to a question from the Inter Mountain correspondent, that he contemplated making no appointments at is most of the appointive officers had beer appointed for terms of four years, which would expire about March 4, and they -would be allowed to stive out t'neir terms. He would make change on the capitol building commission, except to fill the vacancy 'caused by the resignation of Hon. D. E.

Hays, as secretary of state; A. H. Barrett, as state treasurer; J. H. Olderhead, as state auditor; also Frank.

Higgins, as lieutenant governor, and Jfimes A. Donovan, as attorney general. As T. E. Collins, retiring state treasurer, was too ill to toe present, he was represented by his assistant, G.

M. Hays, in t'he work of transferring the office to Judge Barrett. The cash (balances turned over to his successor amounted to of state money, and $30,000 trust money placed in the treasurer's care by the last legislature; also permanent school fund investments, In ibonds and warrants, amounting to $232,715. Examiner Moroney paid a high tribute to Hays' clerical work in the office, and the general executive management o.f the ti easury. Special to Inter Mountain.

Helena, Jan. 7. Joseph K. Toole was sworn in as governor of Montana by Associate Justice George It. Milburn of the supreme court about noon today, in the presence of the other judges of the supreme court, nearly all the retiring and incoming slate officers, a number of appointive officers, and some few private citizens.

In welcoming his successor. Governor Smith paid a brief tribute to his personal ability and hig'h character, and expressed a sincere hope for his successful administration. The oath of office was then read by Judge Milburn, Governor Toole repealing it after him in a loud and distinct voice. Following that, the governor then gave a brief inaugural address, thanking the people of the state for the honor they had shown him, and promising them that all his campaign pledges should be kept tc the letter, taking occasion to empha rMrMSh''t v-3, liY'1 KT- i- 1 ANNEX IDAHO WASHINGTON WANTS PAN-HANDLE OF NORTHERN IDAHO A RICH DISTRICT.

British Gaining Costly Victories Over the Boers. London, Jan. 7. Reporting to the war office under date of January Lord Kitchener says: "Yesterday Uabington engaged Deiar-ey's and Steenkamp's commandoes at Nautiwpoort. The enemy was forced to retire to the northwest.

Our casualties have not yet been received, but are reported slight. A fioer doctor admitted that twenty Boers were killed or wounded. Commandant Oupiese was taken p-isoner. It appears from reports of the wounded who have arrived at Heilhvoti that a detachment 120 strong, belonging to Knox's command, came into contact with a force near Lindley. I regret to say that Lieut.

Laing, two other ot'ieers and fifteen men were killed and two officers and twenty men wouniied. fletai's have come from Knox of this a lion."
