Kootenai County Republican. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1899-1903, 1900-07-13

The Republican scribe has learned
Of an amusing incident In connection
with the endorsement at Occur d.
Alene of John ID. Goode for the fusion
gubcrnatorial nomination. A month
or ~ prior to the convention there
were three active candidates In the
Held seeking the nomination on the
fusion ticket for county attorney.
John u. Goodc was one OF these. \
three curnercd fight was not exactly
10 the liking OF the other two candi-
dates and they combined on u scheme
to get Goode out of the race and they
succeeded admirably. Goodc Is vain
rs Il peacock, and when his name was
mentioned by leading fusionists In
connection with the guhcrnatorial
nomination he began to look with CON
tempt upon a petty county Office and
at once announced, himself out of the
race for county attorney. The
dream Of the conspirators. The flu
sionists of Idaho are Il weak set, but
they will not nominate Goode for gov
crnor. lie is n typical earpet-bagger,
lie came here from Virginia about
tive years ago with commission for a
federal position In his packet noth-
Ing else and has held office contin-
uall, since then. lie has made no ef.
forts Ia acquire home or any other
property In this county or state, and
when not engaged in official duties
connected with the office III county
attorney, he Is always to be found in
spokane, where he claims To have rs.
tahlished law office. In view of this
his candidacy for governor can he
nothing more than joke.

Of state senator one OF the most inn

striking degree the qualities necessary
for this position, and aside from these
qualities Is one Of the best fellows IN

One Of the numerous weak features
In the ticket nominated at Occur d.
Acnc this week Is the unfair geo.
graphical division Of the Offices. II
would appear that the fnsionists are
bent on determined effort TO take
Rathdrum precinct by storm, but in
this they will fail. Rathdrum Is
quite safe for a handsome republican
majority for the entire ticket, and the
combined efforts Of the fusion cand-
dates for the five leading offices, whose
homes are In Rathdrum, will net stem
the tide. The candidates for sheriff,
assessor, probate Judge, snperintend-
ent Of schools and treasurer on the fu-
sion ticket give abundant evidence OF
the porcine propcnsities OF the
fusion Rathdrum ring. That part Of
the county lying north Of the North
ern Pacific where, at the last general
election more than 500 votes were
pollcd, Is represented on the fusion
ticket by coroner and commissioner i'm
district No. 3. 500 was nearly half
the voting strength Of the county two
years ago. and more than one OF the
present fusion officials owes his cleo
ton 10 the majority given their ticket
by the north. 1t il the most section

any party IN this county. We pre-
diet that the people Of the north half

has bolted the Kansas City ticket and
platform. The Observer is the most

Republican Candidates.

The nominees on the republican
ticket from North kootcnai are the
strongest men that could be selected
from this locality. Mr.. George IL
Ross, for county commissioners, is Il
good, reliable citizen, and has the CON
lidence Of the people. He ran far
ahead Of his ticket two years ago, and
seems to be even stronger now than
ever. Mr.. Edwin Doust we have known
for 10 years. lie is man NO more
afraid Of work than he is Of evil doors,
and by his industry he has improved
one Of the best ranches in kootenai
county. For four years he was deputy
sheriff, and his superior officers speak
In highest praise of him. He would

Of this reserve proposed on the map. town

tension would take in any agricultural land
We desire however. to call yonr attention to
the fact that very rich ana extensive min
era discovery has been made in this section
of our stare This discovery Is known as
Buffalo Hump. large population is now
settled In that locality and very important
discoveries aud developments have been
made The reserve already established has
very much numbered these dove .opiacn.s,
AS il Is desired Ia locate townstcs in several
places in that locality and II Is necessary that
some arrangement be made whereby titles to
real property can be acquired. In our judy
mcnt the proposed extension Is within that
mineral belt We. therefore, object to its
creation and take occasion to recommend
tnat port ion of the reserve already created
may be Cancelled and thrown open to entry
and settlement under the general land laws,
In the vicinity of this mineral discovery.
We believe the opening of this section viii
