A. J. Pinkhara, Secretary of Having been by the members of the legislature elected as one of the senators of the United States for the state of Idaho, I have the honor to transmit to you my resignation as governor of the state, to take effect at 5 o'clock this afternoon, or immediately on the qualification of the lientenant governor. I do this with sincere regard which in heightened at severing the very pleasant relations which exist between my brother officers and myself but trust that with the aid of wise and benificent laws to be enacted, over young state may truely become the brightest gem in the diadem of the union. With high regard.

Your obedient servant, George L. Shoup, Governor. Idaho's Garden Products. Tost Falls Post. Idaho is becoming noted for her garden products, the several varieties attaining such unprecedent dimensions, turnips, cabbage, squash, bsets and pumpkins growing so large that an eastern man would laugh to ridicule a description of some of these products.

It is nothing unusual to see a turnip weighing 25 pounds, and wagon loads have been brought into this city which averaged 18 pounds each. Cabbage grow to still larger and corresponding figures. It has not been claimed that com could be grown here as successfully as other but a trial patch of fifteen acres on the Ross place, two miles from Post Falls, demonstrates that corn, too, can be made a profitable crop. We were shown last evening an ear of corn grown on the farm above alluded to which measures about seven inches in length and contained twelve solid rows of well developed grain, which will compare favorably, if 110t prove better, than corn grown in Ohio or Missouri. We.

of Idaho, do not yet know what we have. Wait until our resources are developed, and we will startle the world. A Compliment for Wick Ketchum Keystone. The Keystone takes pleasure in acknowledging the receipt, during the week, of the report of territorial controller, J. H.

Wickersham, with his compliments. The report is an unusually valuable compilation of statistical and historical facts and data, all of which is arranged and presented with a degree of order ond system that give evidence of a master's hand in the work. It will be long before Idaho will see another controller's report bo replete with useful information, so practical and so perfect in its make-up as is the one now before the state bearing the familiar sign manual of James H. Wickersham. LEGISLATURE ADJOUBJiS TWO WEEKS.

A Vigorous Protest the Election of Dubois as Long Term Senator. Boi 8 Idaho, Dec. 22,1890. legislators adjourned last Saturday at midnight for the holidays. They will re-assemble at noon, Jan.

5, 1891. The adjournment Saturday night wa3 heralded with a sigh of relief by many of the members, as the doings of the past two 'veeks was a severe strain on them. One United States senator is usually all that any one legislature is called upon to Idaho is nothing if not so her first legislature had the unique honor of electing three U. S. condition of affairs which has rarely, if ever, occurred before in the history of our government.

no pay in vacation. During the debate last Saturday on the holiday adjournment resolution, an opinion from the Attorney General holding that the members could not draw pay in vacation was read. With this understanding the vacation was agreed to. governor willey. Lieutenant Governor Willey assumed the office and duties of Governor last Friday.

Tbe Governor is one of those old sturdy pioneers of Idaho whom the people admire and love to honor. In the mountain fastnesses of Idaho county, in and about the famous mining camp of Warrens, he has made his home the past twenty years. He has served the people of his state in several important positions under the territorial regime and is peculiarly qualified to be the first governor in deed, of a new president pro tem. The senate has at la8t elected a presiding officer. Senator John S.

Gray, of Ada, having received that honor. The vote stood Gray, 9 Shoup, 6 DeLamar, 1. the senatorial combine. Although there are all sorts of stories aad rumors afloat concerning the successful senatorial combination, the following, which leaves McConnell in the hole, comes from a reliable source Dubois got the long term, Shoup and McConnell the fractional terms. In case McConnell draws the two-year fractional term and Shoup the twomonths term, the "former is to resign after the fourth of March and Governor Shoup is to be appointed to the vacancy by Governor Willey.

It is also said that in consideration of case the lot so decides is to receive half of his campaign expenses $30,000. While this explanalion may not be correct it is plausible. Dubois could not get there without McConnell, (as Claggett steadfastly refused to combine) and McConnell not get there without Dubois. The latter having the larger following naturally dictated terms and as Mc. had spent a mint of money and wanted the title of U.

c. senator, if he could get nothing more, accepted. The only suspicious thing about the proposition is the $15,000 payment in case Mc. draws the long term, Who will pay it? Dubois cannot. a protest.

A protest to congress, signed by over twonty of the further senatorial complications. The protest questions the legality of the election of Fred T. Dubois, to the term beginning March 4, 1891; first, that the legislature had no legal knewledge of a vacancy after March 1st, and will not until after Shoup and McConnell draw lots for terms in Washington, and second, if it was in the province of this legislature to elect three U. S. senators before the allotment, the election of the long-term senator would not fall under the provisions of the admission act or the state constitution, but under the federal statutes.

In the election of Dubois, the U. S. statutes, which require a ballot in each house separately the second Tuesday after organization, were not followed, but the joint session which elected two U. S. senators, under the constitution, proceeded to elect the long-term man without dissolving.

Under the U. S. statutes the proper day to have proceeded to elect a longterm senator would haVG been Tuesday of this week, provided the legislature had legal knowledge of this vacancy. The legislature really had no knowledge of this vacancy other than the say so of interested parties. The governor's proclamation convening the legislature included the election of two U.

S. senators and no more. Several of the leading legal lights of Boise, including R. Z. Johnson, Ex-Chief Justice Beaty, say that there was no legal election, and as the protest was drawn at the instance of prominent republicans, and liberally signed by republican ftiembers, it it will doubtless receive a candid consideration by the U.

S. senate, where a democratic protest would be unceremoniously kicked out. If the senate gives an expression questioning Mr. Dubois' title to tho seat the legislature will likely have another tilt on the senatorial proposition before it adjourns. In opposition to this view it must be conceded that Dubois iB a skillful political manipulator, and can make the senators acknowledge his election if any one can.

It is doubtful if he cares whether it is legal or not so long as he has the credentials. He will trust to his good luck and a republican majority to carry him through. Under ordinary circumstances this would be the correct but in this case the protest comes from republicans who have republican friends in the senate who are not friendly to Dubois. If they and the democrats combine and demand a legal election there will be fun ahead for Freddy. legislation, The only bills that have become laws so far are bills appropriating $35,000, or so much thereof as is needed, to defray the expenses of the first legislature a bill giving District Judges the power to fix terms of cournt and a bill fixing the salary of attaches of both houses and describing their duties.

The bill confering upon the governor the power to appoint officersr to vacancies in county and precinct offices, where such vacancies exist through failure of such office to qualify within time required by constitution, was defeated in the senate. state prison. Ever since admission the U. S. government has been trying to get the state to accept the penitentiary at Boise.

The states while paying for maintenance of same, has had no legal officer to accept it. The last two days of the session in the house were spent in perfecting a bill for a prison commission and describing their duties, but it failed to come up in the Uncle Sam still holds the pen." Fortj-Five Days Without Food. New York Dec. Giovauni Succi'8 fast of forty-five days terminated at 8:15 this evening in the presence of an audience of 400. The worst attack of gastric trouble he had during the fast was at 5 o'clock to-day, during which his pain was so acute it was feared he would collapse, but his indomitable will carried him through.

From that time until 8:15 the constantly occurred, his pain behis body. When cocoa was prepared shortly after 8 o'cloak, Succi arose from a lounge and staggered to a table looking more like a skeleton than a man. When he first sipped the cocoa there was a burst of applauFe from the spectators. It was doubtful whether he would be able to retain the nourishment, but the uncertainty soon prssed away and Succi gradually resumed his former buoyancy. This morning Succi weighed pounds.
