Speaking Of the candidacy Of Editor
John ". Burchinal, of the MouHdsT'l!c
Herald. for the sherlnalty OF Marshall
county the clarksburg Telegram pays
him a graceful tribute in which. among
other things, It says: I'VE see that Mr..
John W. Bhrchinal. OF AIoundsville, Is
n candidate for Sheriff OF Marshall
county. and considering his excellent
QUALIFICATIONS for the position, and that
lie IL a thorough Republican, ever in
sympathy with his party, We suppose
and hope that he will be elected by
handsome majority. Mr. Burchnal Is
one Of the most public spirited, enter
prislns men Of the state. He has done
much for Moundsvllle and will do more
for II and his county. He never loses
chance 10 boost the state and Sing her
praises. He has done much edItorlally,
by correspondence and otherwise, TO
attract attention to Marshall county as
paying oil territory, from which we
hope our sister county Will realize mill
Ions of dollars. He was one OF the ear
Hest promoters OF the water works In
MuundsYille, without which 70 town
can grow in population and Importance.
II goes without saying that water works
made ClarksburE. He was one OF the
projectors OF the street railway project
which we predict will develop Mounds
Vile and part Of the county mor'. and
do more good than any other improve
ment has in a quarter Of century"
All this and much more can be said Of
Mr. Burchinal, without dIspar1gins the
merits OF the other excellent gentlemen
who are candidates for the nomination.
Marshall county is putting out some OF
its best material this year, ana who
ever the nominee may be for sheriff he
Is certain to be a man in whom the peo-
pie can place their trust.

At Charlestown,J Jefferson county, few
days since there was an interesting
joint discussion between Congressman
Joseph e. Bailey, OF Texas, and U. S.
Hal, Of lss5url on the silver qucs-
ton. the occasion being the campaign
before the Democratic primaries, which
were 10 elect delegates to the state
and district conventions. The prluar-
les Resulted In small majority FOR the
sound money advocates In the debate,
Mr.. Hall represented honest money and
the Texas statesman advocated the l6
to / theory. The Farmers Advocate,
the free silver organ OF the county, has
n very unfair account NJ the discussion.
II gave mono OF Mr.. Halls argument,
but INDUCED I'm some sncers ut his po-

Bailey "chcwed up the MissOurlan ana

Varied and Remarkable Resources of
That Section.
ss The following paper was presented
before the immigration congress
which recently met in Boise by Chas.
e. Martin of Priest River, Idaho. We
reprint it because it thoroughly des-
cribes one of the richest sections Of
Kootenai county, Of which even here
at home comparatively littleis known,
and 1T will therefore be interesting to-
our readers, who may procure copies
AT this office to send to eastern points:
There is no portion Of the great
northwest more deserving of Special
mention than the Priest river country
in the Panhandle of Idaho.
With a soil and climate that could
not be improved upon, rich in mineral
and timber wealth, having easy access
to the markets of the world over the
lines Of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railways, the Priest
river valley is an ideal country for the
hOme-Seeker or investor, one sure to
enrich those who assist in developing
its great resources. M
The Priest river country is beau
