WIN. E. YOUNG, our candidate for
surveyor, is easily the best surveyor in
the county. He is native OF Missouri,
college bred man, and has had much
experience in his profession. II you
desire proof of his ability and skill,
take look at the big irrigation ditch
on the Indian reservation. Mr.. Young
was employed in Nampa for number
OF years on railroad construction. A
few years ago he came to southeastern
Idaho and has followed his profession
ever since. He helped in the construct
ion OF the Peoples Canal, Idaho Canal
and every other enterprise Of any mag
nitude requiring the skill Of civil en-
gineer. Whatever Mr.. Young under
takes in the surveying line will be done
In a No. ! style in every particular.

GOVERNOR STEUNENBERG deepened
the esteem our citizens have ever held
for him by his visit Wednesday. His
address at the court house in the even
ing strengthened the verdict in the
minds of friends who had heard him
before, that his incumbency as Idaho's
chief executive should extend over the
ensuing two years, and fixed In the
minds of those who listened to him
for the first time like opinion. None
without prejudice say aught against
his administration as governor for the
past term. The record is one which he
and the people Of Idaho may justly feel
proud. See to 1t that he is reelected
By casting your vote for him Novem-

To SEEK political preferment is COM
mendable 70 the one aspiring to such
honors. To vote for the best nominee
and for the one whose qualifications are
best calculated to suit for the position
sought, is no less commendable on the
part of the voter. The Democratic
county ticket have none for whom the
voters need blush If advanced by votes
OF theirs to positions of trusts In the adj
ministration of county affairs. The con-
clusion then is nothing less than that
you should vote the Democratic ticket
straight, and 10 not be begniled by cajol-
ing sophistries to side-track nominees of
the regular Democratic county conven-
zion, whose names appear on the ticket
AS published in The NEWS IN this, and
as it will appear in subsequent issues
till after November 8th.

To be mature in experience OF life's
Affairs, and in those business require
ments that lead to success, is a con-
dition to be earnestly sought. Mature
judgment is called for In the transaction
OF business brought before the county
commissioners. Experience is also a
qualification not to be lost sight OF. Why
then, not avail yourself OF the SER
vices Of one who is possessed OF both OF
these essential mature
judgment, and experience gained by
once having served Bingham county as
commissioner. Such man is presented
In the name OF Presto Burrell, Demo-
cratic nominee for commissioner from
the second district. Vote for him and
secure his election and you will have
cause to congratulate yourself for hav-
ing done SO.

A SHADOW of trouble of a warlike
nature Is sseD on the horizon between
England and France. To interposed
obstacles to the advancement OF Great
Britain in the requirement OF territory
or to obstruct her channels OF COM
merce as projected by her ambitious
statesmen and leaders, has ever been
dangerous to peaceful conditions. The
controversy in the present instance has
its outgrowtb because of the French
government making pretensions to
opening way to the Nile and cutting
the connection the British intend estab-
fishing between the north and soutb.

Our rumored corps Of deputy sherirs
Is legion. This is probably due to the
unsettled condition OF the political at
mospaere incident to hot campaig ming.
The persOn who has listening ear for
every floating rumor, will find confu-
sion rampant in the mind at the time OF
voting and so badly muddled will that
one be that scarce responsibility will
attach to error made in casting ballot.
Let reason rather than rumor sway you
in the use OF the sacred privilege OF the

l.. NJ. CAPPs is eminently rancher.
He is native of Alabama, good old
Democratic state, and was educated at
the Agricultural College at Auburn,
Ala. He came to Idaho some years
ago, and was for time, Industrial
teacher at the Fort Hall Indian
school. During his incumbency in
this position, he learned much OF the
western methods Of ranching, includ-
ing, OF course, irrigation. Upon leav-
ing the reservation several years ago,
he located a ranch two miles north OF
Blackfoot, and by hard work and I'M
firing zeal, together with lots Of head
work, he has made one of tie best
ranches in the county and has demon
strated that rancher can be prosper
GUS even in hard times by dint OF hard
work. 1t is said Of Mr.. Caps that he
asks his men to only work as he does
and that he can wear two men out in
day. Whatever he undertakes, he car
ries out with characteristic energy.
Two years ago he was nominated on
the Electors Democratic ticket for
representative, the Office for which the
Democrats have nominated him this
time, and he WAS elected. Unfortu-
nately contest arose, the result OF
which was the unseating OF Caps. II
elected, us we hope and believe he will
be, MIR. Caps will be untiring in his
efforts to properly represent the coun-
ty and his integrity Is unquestioned.

MUST HAVE DEwEY's AID.
Philippine Insurgents Cannot Take Manila
without Heavy ArtiiIery-ARuinaldo's
Forces Well Armed with Mausers.

Cavite, via Hong Kong, July 3d.
The insurgent chiefs from all over the
island met here to form the provi-
sional government. Gen. Aguinaldo is
the head of it and practically dictator.
They intend to establish the capital in
small town in the interior, not far
from Manila. Aguinaldo is going to
take the field in person. The insur-
gent army is well armed with Mauser
rifles, either captured or bought,
and has plenty of ammunition.
Besides, the insurgents have proved
that they have great courage and
remarkable energy. For several days
the insurgents attacked the fort at
Matala, which is the last fortified
place outside of Manila on the bay
south of the city. They finally cap
tured IL and are now ready to advance
on the city as soon as Admiral
Dewey wishes to commence opera
tions against it. The Spaniards adj
nit now that the insurgents alone
could probably take the outskirts and
new part of Manila, but, of course,
without artillery could make no i'm
preston on the heavy walls of the old
city, which could withstand a siege of
months. 1t will require the heavy
guns of the United States fleet to
break il II the inhabitants do not sur
render on the demand of Admiral
nauau

scattered over wide area and, as far
as practicable, will be kept in brigades.

Barbarity Exaggerated.

Ponce, Aug. Am outpost of the
American army has now halted at
Coamo, about two-thirds of the way
to Aibonito, on the road to San Juan.
Col. Hulings, advancing this morning,
met detail sent out to reconnoiter,
which reported that there was no sign
of the enemy. The latter, it was said,
had retreated to Aibonito, where they
would make a stand. A delegation of
the citizens of Coamo came out and
Col. Hulings was rendered the freedom
of the city as an American soldier.
The citizens reported that the Spanish
had carried away all the money that
was not secreted. The stories of Span
ish barbarity have been greatly eX-
aggerated. There is no authentic
case of destruction of private property
or outrage upon women. Gen. Otega
is still at Aibonito, with probably
1000 Spanish soldiers. Gen. Stone,
with small force, went to Adjunt as,
where Spanish outrages were reported.
He will occupy the town, proclaim
American rule, establish communities

Gen. Merriam received word from the
war department that Gen. Merritt had
asked to have his command increased
from 10000 to $4,000 troops in order to
be able to meet any emergency which
may arise on account of the hostile at
titude of Aguinaldo and the insurgent
forces.

The Veteran Insurgent Warrior Meets an
Army Of spaniards at Mayarl and
Puts Them 10 RouL

. Playa del Este, Aug. 3. News has
been received here from Gen. Garcia
and the Cuban forces under him at
Mayari, near the bay of Nipe, on the
north coast of the province of Santa
go de Cuba. The report is that Gen.
Garcia has been in heavy fight with
Spanish troops, who were trying to
effect junction with the main body
of Spanish regulars at Holguin. These
Spaniards were probably the force that
evacuated Nipe bay during the recent
naval bomhardment. A large body OF
Cuban rein 'orcements had reached
Gen. Garcia and the impression is that
he defeated the Spaniards in this en-
gagement, or at least held his own.
