The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1900-10-30
Halloween tomorrow night.

VIM. Branca was down from
Clayton last Tuesday.
f. w. Vogler, the enterprising
manager of the Redrock & Sal
mon Stage Line, arrived in Chal-
lis last Friday night.
1853 names were registered in
Challis precinct last Saturday
night. There are at this time 43
more persons who have not reg
istered who are entitled to vote.
If they all register it would make
2O6 voters in this precinct.
Bert wilson, who used to live
in Challis. but now at Nome City,
Alaska, has struck better pay
ing proposition than some of the
beach or tundra claims. He dis
covered fne spring of living
water about 5 miles from Nome
and has fumed the water to the
city, and is making from 800 to
$120 per day from the sale of
the water.
When you go to the polls next
Tuesday, men and women of
Custer county, vote for your own
welfare. Your only hope for
silver is by electing Bryan. 1t
is to your own interest to vote
the Democratic ticket. Don't
show the East that you are
against silver by voting the Re
publican ticket The Republican
party is openly for gold, against
our own great silver industry,
and are not entitled to a single
vote in Custer county.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. J. Paul and
Mr. J. G. Fox returned from
Lewiston last Wednesday, where
they represented the three
branches of Challis Odd Fellow
ship at the Grand Lodge ses-
sions. They report a splendid
time, also that Idaho Odd Eel
lowsbip has shown a marked
growth in this State in all of it's
branches during the past year
The next session of the Grand
Lodge win be held at Boise City.
Robert Mobley, of Boise City,
was elected Grand Master; J. FL.
Booming, of Ketchum. Grand
Patriarch of the Encampment,
and Mrs. Minnie Otto, of Muir
ray, President of the Rebekah
branch of the Order.
One J. @. Abbott, of Ohio, who
claimed to have been sent to Ida
no by Mark Hanna to save the
country, and who made Repub-
lican speech in Challis not long
ago, was over in Haley the 9TH
er day. and this is what this
wonderful false prophet told the
HALEY Times
THE Democrats of Custer
county have conceded Custer
precinct to Mckinley by 90 mai
ority; that Clayton has a Nc
Kinley club of 81 members; that
Challis. the great Populist
stronghold, is now three fourths
Republicans; in Pahsamaroi,
there is not a known Democrat
or Populist, and that in Big Lost
valley nearly all are Republi-
cans"
The above is the worst polite
al rot that we ever heard of, and
is falsehoods in every particular.
But it is not worth while to waste
space upon such blower as Alb
bott. He also makes claims
about Lemhi county. all of which
is silly clap-trap and false state
ments without a single item of
truth. Is this a sample of the
way the Republicans estimate
their reliable" gains ?
Aha / have found out the
reason why. All clear as mud
now Might have known it, but
didn't think of it in just that
light before you know. The type
foundrvs have been sending me
notices for a whole year raising
prices on type and other material
on account of the rise in the
price of raw material. Well. |
thought they were just gouging
me. But it is all plain now.
Some onery cuss sends me
marked copy of Carterville, Mo-.
Daily Record. with a compare
tive statement. 1t reads this
way
Last year the price of zinc
was $40. so per ton; this year,
$50; lead last year. 500; this year.
800. so. Would not that satisfy
you of the necessity of the rise
in prices ? With zinc 40 per
cent. less and lead 10 per cent.
less why should not type and 9th
