At Pocatello last week we were
pleased to again meet our old
friend and former fellow-towns-
man, John Lamb, editor of the De
Lamar Nugget, who was delegate
to the Silver Republican State
Convention. Time seems to deal
gently with Brother Lamb.
c. G. Hall, formerly of Cassia
county but now located at Volcano
in this county, is the inventor of
new light generator that is destined
TO become of general use not only
in houses but in all kind of mines.
One ordinary lamp is of about $50
candle power, and there is no heat
eliminating from the blaze. The
generating material is very simple
and cheap, and there is no danger
whatever of explosion. Mr.. Hall
is here manufacturing a few of
these lamps for use in his mine in
Volcano district and also one for
Superintendent Clemens of the
blackstone company. This fall
Mr.. Hall will return to Mountain
Home and turn his sole attention
to the manufacture of these lamps,
a patent for which he has already
secured.
Dan Harrington, once a resident
of Rocky Bar, but now located at
Gem, Shoshone county, was regu-
lar delegate to the Democratic State
Convention at Pocatello and by
vote was admitted to a seat along
with Major Wood and others. A
conversation with Dan convinced
us that we of this section of Idaho
have but little conception of the
crimes and indignities committed
in Shoshone county under Marshal
law. A few days after the last pri-
mary election, Mr.. Harrington's
own business house was closed by
deputy marshals and to this day he
does not know the cause for such
arbitrary action-but supposes it
due to his efforts to secure an anti
Steunenberg delegation to the State
convention. Dan wishes to be
kindly remembered, through the
BULLETIN to all friends in Elmore
and on Wood river.
Gilmore county was particularly
honored in the three silver state
conventions at Pocatello. The high.
est honor in the gift of the Demo
cratic convention, the temporary
craftsmanship being awarded to Hon.
K. |. Perky, who performed the du-
ties OF his Office 18th the wisdom of
a Marshall, the dignity and cour-
tesy of Chesterfield and the firm
ness of a Jackson. His demeanor
and his rulings were the admiration
of the delegates of all three conven-
tions, and his speech on taking the
chair was one of the most eloquent
on such an occasion. Hon. A. M.
Sinnott was the unanimous choice
of the Peoples party convention for
the important position of secretary
of that body. When his name was
proposed he was Immediately cleo
ted by rising vote, and he was
conducted to his position amid en-
thusiastic applause. At the close
of the convention he received unan-
imous vote of thanks for the able
performance of his duty. Perky
and Sinnott could have received
from their respective conventions
any nomination they would accept.
Sheriff Jas. O'Neill was frequently
and favorably talked of for state
mine inspector, but did not desire
the honor. In the Silver Republi-
can convention, Assessor Art Davis
was conspicuously active and did
good work for the silver cause. FL
more county may be proud of her
distinguished sons, as such honors
without solicitation or skulduggery
show that merit tells and in proper
time will be rewarded. Elmore's
silver delegates will use every hon
orable means to close the breach
now existing in the silver forces and
