here looking after the Young America
mine in which he is interested.
On Friday OF last week man named
Frank Smith arrived in Socorro from
Carthage. He had evidently been on u
protracted spree and was on the verge OF
the delirium tremins when he appeared
at the county Jail and asked Governor
Cook to place him under arrest, giving
his reason for the odd request that he
was deserter from the Tenth infantry
at Fort Stanton; that he was on detach-
ment duty ut Carthage when he became
and left tho post and officers
behind. Governor Cook took him and
DR.. Duncan who brought
the penitent soldier out of his dangerous
state. The officors OF the Tenth were
notified and on Wednesday morning

where he will be given time to speculate

by Herr Munster, a scandinavian
In this pursuit, sea water was
taken by him from Kristiania

Address to the Electors of Idaho County.
TO the People Of Idaho County:
The people of Grangeville respectful
y submit the following reasons why the
county seat should be moved from Mt
Idaho to Grangeville:
One-third of the total vote of Idaho
county is cast in Grangeville precinct,
and very large proportion of the re-
mainder find Grangeville the most con-
venient point for the transaction of bus
mess. Under present conditions more
than three-fourths of the population of
the county have to pass through Grange
vile to get to the county seat. thus
greatly and unnecessarily increasing
taxation by adding to the cost of jurors
and witness fees.
Grangevile is the largest town of the
county, having the largest and most per-
manent buildings, is the center of COM
mercial and mining business, and has
more extensive hotel and Restaurant ac-
commodations than any other town 10
the county. All the practising attor-
neys of the county have found it to
their advantage aud convenient to their
clients to locate in Grangeville. All
lines OF business are represented, and
with the growth of the town great COM
petition will spring up.
The people of Grangeville win donate
to Idaho county suitable and ample
grounds for all county purposes, with a
better court house than the one now
owned by the county, together with a
brick Jail and a fire proof brick vault for
the proper preservation OF the comfy
records. The money for this purpose
is already pledged by private subscrip-
ton, and bonds win be given in due
time to secure the county against ex-

Acting On the principle of the great
est good to the greatest number. the
county seat should be removed to
Grangeville.
While we realize that a two-thirds
vote Is necessary to remove the county
seat, we also realize that under our laws
a county seat election can not be held
or the proposition entertained for six
years. See Constitution State of Idaho,
Article XVII. Section 2:
SEC. 2. No county seat shall be re-
moved unless upon petition of a MAORI
ty of the qualified electors Of the conn
ty. and unless two thirds of the qnalfi-
ed electors of the county. voting on the
proposition at general Gaction, shall
vote in favor of such removal. A prop
ostion of removal OF the county seat
shall not be submitted in the same coun-
ty more than once in six years, except
as provided by existing laws. No per-
son shall vote at any county seat cleo
ton who has not resided in the county
six months and in the precinct ninety
days.
We believe that when the foregoing
section of the organic law of the state is
thoroughly understood, nine-tenths of
the people will see it is to their interest
to have the county seat at Grangeville,
because another election cannot posi-
bly, be had for the term of six years.
We will further address the electors
on this subject at later date.
With malice toward none and charity
for all, we subscribe ourselves,
