Two names, Miss Nichols, Demo-
Ecrat and Miss Lodge, Republican,
were placed in a hat by the county
commissioners, and the name taken
out was to have the place. Miss
Lodges name was drawn 50 she is
school superintendent-elect of FL
more county. Also it might be
well to say that she is the onlv Re-
publican nominee. elected in that
county,, which shows that in order
10 tie the Democratic nominee she
must have been very popular.
Some very high grade ore has
just been taken from the Gilt EDGE
mine near Florence, Idaho. Eight
tons of this ore was run. through
the mill and the result of six hours
was 66 ounces or approximately
$500 This is a rather remarkable
showing and as this amount is to
be expended in the installing of a
hoist, the mine will be in cohtinu-
Gus operation from now on. One
may expect to hear of some great
developments throughout the entire
Florence mining districts in the
near future, and it is confidently
expected that Florence will begin
to boom in the spring. The owner
of the Gilt Edge property is Mr..
Mclean of Florence.
We often hear people say that to
love our fellows is a good thing to
do, but too much love for his fe1-
lows has just got Ed. Moore of Po-
catel1o into serious trouble. Ed.
was released from the county jail
of Bannock county November 6,
election day, and about 1890 the
following morning he was caught
trying to release the restEof the
prisoners in the jail. He. was tax
en- before Judge Shaw and bound
over to await the action of the dis
trict court. This is what happens
to most of us when we get to 1ov-
ing our neighbors too much. So
we would advise everybody to look
out for themselves first, and after
wards see about their neighbors'
troubles. At least Ed. thinks he
will do this from now on.
+ At the general, election held No
vernber s the question of the loca-
ton of the county seat of Fremont
county was again decided. This is
the third county seat fight they
have had in that, county, and each
time St. Anthony has come out
winner. This time, however, by
only small majority, so small in
fact that it was thought for some
time that Rexhurg had won. Thus
again is Rexburg's long cherished
dream of finally having the county
seat bHghted. At the same cleo
ton the people of Bannock county
decided to build a new court house.
This is an evidence of prosperity,
for when the people deliberately
vote extra taxes upon themselves
you may be assured the times are
prosperous. We congratulate BAN
1ock county upon her prosperity.
The Lapwai Indian agency" IS
Just in receipt of $Q2,54r;12, which
constitutes the last payment OF; the
United States government to the
Nez Perce Indians for giving up
their claims on the former Nez
Perce Indian reservation. This

at the disposal of this tribe, and a
