YOU CANNOT AFFORD 1T,

Citizens of Aleuras county: Wheth
er miners, ranchers. teamsters, labor
ers or business men, you must vote
STRAIGHT for protection to home
industries, fair wages, and pure homes.
You must vote straight and elect the
entire Republican ticket, in order 10
let the world see that you are opposed
to free wool, free lead, free love, and
free trade.
1t viii! not do to act on the suppose
ton that party politics have nothing
to do with county affairs, because they
have. BY electing the entire Repub-
lican ticket you show that you will
have nothing to do with a na,ionsl
policy that would compel your EN-.
ployer to fail in business and yourself
to work for about one half what yeu
get now.
Before the Republican party adopt

A FEW REASONS WHY

kins, Mcpherson. Van Shack, CLAW,
Burkhart, aud Warng, comprising
the Legislative ticket, because tn. y
are al representative men, whose

terests are our interests, and because
they can BE- trusted on ev nv PROPOSE
ton, even to opposing the repeal of
the Mormon Test Oath law.
Vote for J. S. Waters for District
Attorney, because he has been .r;-d
for years, and always found trustwor-

AN ABLE AND UpRIGNTJUDGE.

Chief Justice Weir will adiour,
the Second judicial District Cour,
tomorrow, for the purpose OF going
back to his ola home in Pittsburg
Pa, to close up lis business there and
bring his family out to Idaho. He
will return to HALEY about the be-
ginning of Dcc' mbcr.
Judge Weir has scarcely been in
the Territory month, having only
had time to hold three weeks term
in Boise and u weeks session Of court
here. Yet he has already won golden
opinions from every member of the
Bar and from all others who have met
or seen him. Very prepossessiug in
appearance, this white haired gentle
man nevertheless improves upon ac-
quaintance.
Our readers are already familiar
with his manly and thoroughly I'M
peachable stand upon the Mormon
question, which caused such general
exultation in this and our sister Terri.
tory of Utah; yet this is only one of the
ntterances which have dropped from
his lips and which have given us such
welcome assurances that he would in,
deed prove an able and upright judge.
Members of the bar at Boise, who
have not only known him since he
came to Idaho, but who learned of his
unblemishe | character in his old home
in Fittsburg, are congratula,ing them
selves upon his appointment to our
Supreme Bench, and say that in the
discharge OF his judicial duties e " ill
know Leither Democrat nor Repuh.
lI"sn, Mormon nor Gentle, but er.
deavor to deal ont exac, justice to all.
TIER Judgment is certainly better
THAI. ours ia this matter, at present.

because he is a careful, reliable bust.
ness man who will neither allow him.
self to become defaulter, nor get his
eondsmen into ''hole," nor impose
additionally heavy burdens on the
taxpayers by neglec,ing all or any OF
his duties.
Vote for Guy Hammer for Auditor
ID Recorder, because he is an active
young man who in the difficult posi-
,ion OF Postmaster of HALEY has given
satisfaction, after having been ap-
pointed by Democratic administra-
ton.
Vote for J. NJ. Burkett for Treasur.

years fine last four as deputy under a

TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS,
ana his accounts have never been
wrong the fractional part of a cent.
Also, because he can give bond in
any required amount.

and Tax Collector, because he is the
man needed to straighten out the Of

ry piece of property in the county will
be found to have been clouded by the
bogus certificates of sale issued to
cover up the defalcations.
Vote for DR.. Wheeler for Coroner,
because he is regular practitioner, is
fearless, and quite heavy taxpayer;
and he would make good Sheriff, If
called on to act in that capacity.
Vote for Frank Mandel for Sur
veyor, because he is a promising young
man and Republican.
Vote for Dow Newman for Com
missioner, because he is the choice of
fourtifths of the people Of his Dis
trict. For Jos. Rupert, because he
knows every road, trail and cow path
in the county, and because he has al.
ways been one of the first to contri-
butte time and money for roads.
bridges, school entertainments, public
celebrations, and everything else tina,
was for the public interest; and be-
cause more thoroughly qualified man
for the position cannot be found. For
9. e. Glenn because, having served
five years i'll the army, worked in the
mines, and lived in Alturas many
years, and seen some pretty hard
times, be will infalIibly take good care
of the peoples money.
The Republicans have offered TO-:
your SURFACES tue strongest ticket
ever nominated in Alturas county.
Every nomin &c is honorable, competent
and worthy. If you elect them, you
will have good government, no de.
falcasions, no Jail breaks, no brutality,
no neglect of the peoples business,
no jobs, no discourteous treatment
when compelled to come in contact
with public officials.
If you fail to elect them, and you
do not secure good government and
reduction Of taxes, YOU WILL
BE TO BLAME, and suffer Il con-
sequences.

Spotted Horse Nine.

P. W. Meadow, one of the original To-
Gators of the Spotted Horse mine, now
the sole property of his wife, is proving
to the most skeptical that his faith
was or is by no means misplaced. In
1885 this property was offered for sale
for $4,000. Failing to dispose Of IL,
Mr.. Meadow put in a little quartz mill Of
about three tons capacity. and before the
summer of 1887 had passed had taken
out several thousand dollars, developed
the property sufficiently to be eonven-
iently worked, and exposed body Of ore
for quantity and richness unsurpassed in
the district. 1t was patent that the lit
tie mill used was by far too small, and
this spring excavation was made for the
erection of first-class ten-stamp (drop)
mill, which will be completed and put
to work by the first Of next month.
This mill will cost in the neighborhood
Of $50 900, and will reduce from twenty
four to thirty tons every twenty-fouI
hours. As the mill Is started the force
in the mine will be increased and Mr.
Meadow will then be paying out from
5000 to $1,000 per month in wages.
Thus this district has become not only
sslfsustaining, but producer and means
of calculating $4,000 per month in Fer
gus county

Forfeited Lands.

WAsHINGroN, Aug. 30,-Senator Dolpi,
from the committee on public lands to.
day reported favorably upon the bill to
declare the forfeiture of all lands except
the right of way and station grounds
granted to the Northern Pacific Railroad
company, which appertain to and are
coterminous with that part of roads and
lines which shall not have been con-
structed at the date of the passage the
bill. The lands forfeited were restored
to the public domain and made the sub.
ject of disposition and settlement under
the general public land laws. The per
sons who are in possession, under title
from the Northern Pacific railroad com.
pany and executed in good faith, prior
to january l, 1888, of any of the lands
declared forfeited, are given the right to
puchase them from the United States In
quantities NOT exceeding 800 acres, to
any person at the rate of $3.50 per aero
at any time within two years from the
passage of the bill. Six montlls u given
in which to remove the crops or i'm
provements, after which they shall be
declared forfeited. The bill confirms to.
the cit, of Portland all rights of way at
tempted to be conveyed to that city by
the railway company for the purpose Of
enabling Portland to secure good water
supply. 1t further declared that nothing
in the bill shall be construed
to waive the right of the United States,
to have any other lands granted to rail
way companies forfeited for any failure
of the past or future to comply wit h the
conditions of the grant.
