Every year the hunt for the precious

enough is spent and sufficient area of

Every year the demand for wood

The Uplands for Spuds.

The HERALD office is indebted to
w. l.. Kinnear for basket
of potatoes from the ranch of Mr..
Henry Tank, who lives three miles
above the Ferry on the north side.
He has an upland ranch. The
sample referred to included old and
new potatoes. The old were in as
fine condition as when taken out of
the ground last fall, and the new
are nearly matured. Mr.. Kinnear
thinks that their exec Hence is due
to the fact that they were raised on
the upland, it being a dryer soil
and producing a better quality.

McConnell's Relative a Defaulter.

Moscow, Aug. 8.-George n.
Hinckley, deputy county auditor
of Latah county, is an absconder
from justice.
Investigation shows that he has
raised county warrants and that his
stealings will amount to at least
$4,000 He is related to Gov. Nc
Connell and on Sunday started
ostensibly to attend the state re-
publican convention. At Nampa
he skipped away for parts un-
known. He was high liver and
kept fast horses and fast women,
and people marveled how he lived
on his salary of 800 per month.
His crookedness extended over a
period of two years, but was not
discovered till last Monday.
Hinkley has since been arrested
and is now on his way back to
Moscow.

Boise, Aug. S.-The republican
state convention was called to order
at 2:10 this afternoon by Chairman
Edgar Wilson in the Columbia the
alter, which had been handsomely
decorated for the occasion. Mr..
Wilson made short speech that
was received with rounds of APP
plause. After the reading of the
call it was announced that nomi-
nations for temporary chairman
were in order. d. G. Lockwood, of
Bannock, placed e. Rich in
nomination for temporary chair
man, ana w. E. Borah, of Ada
county, named j. HI. Richards, of
Canyon.
Mr.. Heitman, of Kootenai, on be-
half Of a majority Of the Kootenai
delegation, protested against J. J.
Robbins acting as a proxy for T.
J. Scott, it being charged that he
did not reside in the county. The
matter was put to viva voce vote,
and Robbins declared eligible to the
seat.
The vote then came on the tenn
porary craftsmanship, and Rich
was elected by a vote of 81 to 80.
In a general way thu vote split
along the governorship lines, but
the treasurership was more directly
involved. Some southern Nc
Connell delegations voted for Rich,
while some anti Mcconnell votes in
the central part of the state vent
to Richards. Latah divided her
vote evenly. Nez Perce voted for
Rich. Idaho gave Rich 7 and
Richards 1. Shoshone voted sol
idly for Richards, and Kootenai
gave Richards 6 and Rich 3. The
contest was in no vital sense a trial
of strength on the governorship,
though it is so claimed by Nc
ConnelPs opponents. Mr.. Rich
made thrilling speech on accept
ing the chair. He is a Mormon
and his statement that the Mormon
people, 5000 of whom will vote for
the rirst time in Idaho this year,
"were nursed in the cradle of home
industry" was greeted with rousing
applause. J. H. Gwinn, of Can

Wright Knocked Out.

Telographic information was
received today to the effect that the
nomination of S. B. Wright for
joint senator had not been confirm
ell by the state convention. The
treachery Of the Ring can easily be
seen in this affair. We have not a
list of joint nominees, but the dis
patch says the joint senator comes
from Latah.

Parties in from SLOGAN report
the forest fires that swept over the
district as something awful. In
one instance the fire travelled five
miles up the slope of a mountain
in 80 minutes. Three Forks had

Many prospectors were only able
to escape by catching some of

apples at 81 box and peaches at

Engineer Sweet, of the steamer
Nelson, informs us that affairs have
a business-like appearance around
Pilot Bay. There are about 60

company means business.
MIR. A. B. Baines returned from
campaigning tour the fore part of
the week. Arthur was unlucky in
getting in with the wrong crowd,
but when he found it out he ac-
knowledged his defeat like a man
and turned in and helped his real
friends.
Mr.. M. M. Fry, the lucky Slo-
can mining man, has made another

Cains. The Moyea seems to be the
favorite locality. Hunting and
fishing is said to be fine, while one
is liable to stumble into a gold
mine in any bend of the stream.
1t has been said that no two
persons could ever be found in Bon
ner's Ferry that would agree on any
public question. This has been
proven false; 81 to 0 was the vote
for a school house.

this place, but now of Spokane, is
in town visiting friends and look
ing after business matters.

Positions FOR HEALTHY SLEEP

Positions FOR HEALTHY SLEEP
Many people sleep on the left side and
this is the most common cause OF the
unpleasant taste in the mouth in the
morning, which is generally attributed
to dyspepsia. II a meal has been taken
within two or three hours of going TO
bed, to sleep on the left side is to give
the stomach a task which is difficult in
the extreme to perform. The student
of anatomy knows that all food leaves
the stomach on the right side, and
hence sleeping on the left side soon al
ter eating involves sort of pumping
operation which is any thing but condu-
Give to sound repose. The action ofthe
heart is also interfered with considera-
bly,, and the lungs are unduly CON-
pressed. 1t is probable that lying on
the back is the most natural position,
but few persons can rest easily so, and
hence it is best to cultivate the habit of
sleeping on the right side.
