The population is equal- ly divided, the southern district, however, being the larger as to territory. Geographically speak- ing a diagonal line was run across |" the state from a point about where the Montana division of the Oregon Short Line enters Montana southwest to the Idaho- Oregon state line directly west of Caldwell. North of this line is the First district; south of it the Second district. Both of these districts are rep- resented in the lower house. Burton L. French resides at Mos- cow and Addison T. Smith at Twin Falls. They will face a strenuous campaign to succeed themselves in 1918, for both are | Republicans, and the Democrats | propose a real ‘fight.
