No Primary EIee ion.

1t would have been worse than folly
to hold a primary election this year,
with only one regularly announced
candidate for each position TO he filled,
and we are glad to note that Chairman
Berkeley and his Committee have call
ed il off. 1t would have been a useless
and unnecessary expenditure of mon
ey to have held a primary under exist
ing conditions, and the three or four
hundred dollars thus saved will come
handy to help defray the expenses next
year, when there will be more import
ant offices to be filled and a primary
will be necessity.
1t must be very gratifying TO the
County Chairman to have his action in
adhering manfully 10 the party rules,
in the face of abuse and villification, so
strongly endorsed by so large majori-
ty of the members of the County Com
mittee.
If the little band of ofdisorganizers and
party wreckers carry into effect their
present threat, and hold primary of
their own, they cannot be prevented
from doing so, and. if they do, We hope
they will find the amusement both
healthful and diverting. But, to every
earnest Republican in the county we
would say do not in any way partici-
pate in this proposed rump primary,
no matter what others may advise you;
for if held, it will be held entirely free
from the party organization and in fiat
autagonism to the party rules. Those
of you who followed the HERALD's ad-
vice in 1Ss2, aud on number of SINH
lar occasions, when the same men were
attempting 10 disrupt the party
who are now trying TO destroy the par
ty organization, have never had oeca-
sion to regret having done 50, nor will
Vou in this instance.

SIX STAMP MILLS.
Will be Running Soon in Camp
at Florence, Idaho.

Spokane Review.
"Florence is a lively camp" said
John Baum, who came in from
there yesterday. "There has been
4 strong movement of capital into
Florence this season and while the
investments have not been widely
heralded, because quietly made,
the result is none the less appa-
rent in the activity to be seen on
every hand. Within year Flor
ence will have an aggregate pay
roll that will make it one of the
best mining centers in the state
and l confidently expect to see
Idaho county take a place well up
toward the head of the list of the
wealth producers of the state.
"There will be six mills running
soon in the camp. A year ago
there were but two running
along in desultory fashion. The
Banner mill started up about three
weeks ago and is doing good work.
Captain N. d. Moore will soon
have a five stamp mill working on
his Blossom and as that property
has yielded thousands of dollars
when worked by hand, the cap
tain's company will doubtless find
the product of the mill most
profitable. The Poorman company
announce that a mill has been or
dered for that property, but it will
not be put in place until spring
The new Hiyu mill will doubtless
be in operation next week and the
Waverly has a new five-stamp mil
on the way which will replace a
two stamp mill now in use there
The latter mill. it is understood
will go to the Bluebird mine. The
mill on the Ozark is running nigh
and day and is reducing from l:
to Is tons of rich ore daily. TIL,
pay roll of the Banner, Waverly
and Ozark companies must be fully
$3.50 per day now with a prospec
that it will be increased soon
mines with mills are not tn,
only ones that are showing activ
lily, however" continued Mr.
Baum. "There are possibly q
properties in the camp that vii
\ keep men at work all winter get
ting the mines opened up and II
shane for the introduction of ma.
chinery next season. Hundreds
of claims will also be worked dur
ing the winter in the vicinity. ]

which had been located in July,
1896, by S. B. Irwin a nd H. d.

In MemOriam - Rev. William
KrOeger.

A very large crowd of people of
Keuterville, Cottonwood and the
whole country around in wide
circle was gathered together to as
sist at the funeral service of Rev.
William Kroeger, who died last
Thursday morning and was laid to
rest today. Rev. William Kroe-
ger was born in 1856 at town just
at the boundaries of Germany and
Holland; finished a college course
of eight years; entered afterwards
the American college of Low aine
in Belgium; finished a thorough
course of philosophical and theo-
logical studies that comprehended
full seven years. After being or
dained a priest he was sent by his
superiors to the diocese of Idaho
just about five years ago. Bishop
Glorieux appointed him for the
difficult missions of Cottonwood
and Keuterville, where he had also
the charge of the Catholic families
dispersed all over Idaho county.
Rev. William Kroeger was good
and jealous priest and had great
success in his work. He built the
Catholic church at Grangeville;
finished quite short time before
his last sickness spacious and
fine church building at Keuterville.
1t was his intention to call a com
munity of teaching sisters to Ken.
terville and Cottonwood, and only
six weeks ago three representa-
tives of the sisters community a,
Cotton, WASH, had been at Ken.
terville to consider the whole
proposition. We hear they were
favorably impressed and though,
to have a considerable number O.
children in their new school. The
zeal and success of Rev. w. Kroe
ger made him liked by everyone
and by those who were not mem
bers Of his congregation. He was
friendly and kind towards every
one, helped wherever he could Dc

business and pushed his plans

SO great a money stringency. A
very great multitude of people was
crowded together, Notwithstanding
the cold and inclement weather
waiting for the funeral services
The church was much too small
to keep the people; every corner
was taken up and some had t.
stand outside. It was a touchin,
scene to see that many men, no
only women, but many young mel
shed tears when the funeral cere
