The Office Of county attorney is
q highly important one and it's in
cumbent must be . msn Of strong
force Of character and possessed Of
moro than average legal ability in
order to successfully prosecute the
criminal element should occasion
arise. Edward N. Griffith, the
democratic nominee for county at
toney, possesses all these requisites
and will FIJI the position with satis-
faction to the taxpaying commun-
ity. Prior TO his arrival here five
years ago he practiced law in Dem
YER, Colo, having studied in the
Offices Of the largest firm Of legal
practitioners in that state. He has
filed the position Of attorney for
the board Of village trustees OF
Grangeville, giving great satisiac-
ton to the board for the careful
thought which he always devotes
to legal matters. The people will
make no mistake in giving their
votes to Mr.. Griffith for county a.

The Moscow Mirrow, one of the
oldest and blacklist republican pa
pers in the state, published the fol-
lowing last week: "This week q
republican club roll was presented
to the Hon. r. V. Crozier who, by
the way, holds a commission as
United States attorney for Idaho,
and he refused to sign it because
he could not support the republican
ticket" Such is the "harmony"
existing in the republican ranks.
But it is all water on Judge Scales
wheel, and the dissatisfaction in

basis, and only FIVE Of the 60 dis
tricts have . bonded indebtedness.
This is very satisfactory condi-
ton OF affairs and shows with what
diligence Superintendent Elsensohn
has watched and fostered the edu-
cational institutions OF the county.
In county adjoining nearly every
school district purchased a s35
"Encyclopedia," which was abso-
lutely worthless from an educa-
tional standpoint, while in this
county, owing to Mr.. Elsensohn's
having cautioned the trustees Of all
the districts, not q single encyclo-
pedia was sold. He also warned
the trustees Of every school dictrict
in his jurisdiction against investing
any OF the school funds in the pur-
chase of an alleged "chart" which
was being peddled at &c each. Mr..
Elsensohn has also organized a
teachers reading circle and iusti-
tuted a series OF teachers meetings
at eight different points in the
county for the exchange of views
and other benefits looking to the
betterment of the public school sys-
tenn of this county. This is rec
ord which speaks volumes for the
care and attention which Mr.. Ell
sensohn has bestowed upon matters
educational, and the people will do
the right thing by themselves and
their families by re.electing him to
the position which he has 80 &C.

that they are not such ideas as will

HOGAN Bros CAMP.
Geo. X. Reed Tells of a Great
Mining Property.

Geo. X. Reed Tells of a Great
Mining Property.
Landlord Geo. X. Reed returned
from q leisurely trip into the Elk
City country where he had gone to
to look after his mining interests.
He is very enthusiastic ever the
future of that section, and says it
is likely to eclipse Buffalo Hump
at the rate men with money are
going into Elk and buying up the
most promising OF the many mining
claims. He was over to Hogan
Bros new quartz camp on Crooked
river, IL miles south of Elk, and
says their 20-stamp mill is crush
ing 80 tons in the "a hours. Mr..
Reed thinks it is one of the best
mining propositions he has ever
run across, and one can hardly
realize how cheaply it is operated
without seeing it. The ore body
is a big dyke of quartz and por-
phyry from 200 to 600 feet wide.
The cost of mining and milling is
incredibly small. The rock is SO
soft that one blast breaks down i'm
mense quantities. The large chunks
are broken with the flat side of a
pick and there is no trouble in get
ting the right grade to the mill.
1t takes three men to break down
the ore, one to run the car to the
mill and two men On shift work to
treat the ore. The cost of mining
and milling this ore is said to be
only 80 cents per ton. The ore
goes from SO to $12 per ton, max
ing the property great paying
proposition. 1t is the intention of
the owners to add 80 stamps to the
outfit next spring.
Speaking Of the American Eagle
mine on Siegel creek, Mr.. Reed
said it was a bonanza rich enough
for anybody, and he believes that
the estimate Of the owners having
nearly 81, 900, 600 of ore in sight in
this property is q pretty conserv-
alive statement Of its actual value.
They are now grading for quartz
mill which the owners have pur-
chased from Finch & Campbell in
Dixie district.
In regard to the Grangeville
group, which Mr.. Reed and asso-
ciates have recently bonded to Pat
rick Clark, he said Mr.. Clark was
working good force Of men both
at the Grangeville and at the
Cleveland. The sawmill on the
latter claim is getting out timbers
for retimbering all the lower work
ings and other necessary mining
purposes, and there is no doubt in
his mind that both these groups
will be taken up and paid for in
due time.

with IL al the taxes levied, together
with the judgments and claims be-
longing to Idaho county, and never
gave ~ one dollar in consideration
OF the protection which Idaho
county had extended for years to
that part Of its jurisdiction.
A few years later a dose Of the
same kind Of medicine was admin
istered to the good people Of Idaho
county when the legislature took
from our territory the whole Of the
Lemhi basin, which has since
proved rich in mines Of gold and
silver, leaving rs to bear the bur-
den Of maintaining county organ
ization for years and then refusing
us . dollar Of compensation as a
recompense for the debts we had
incurred in protecting that remote
section. Still later Washington
county was organized, taking from
us the whole Of the Little Salmon
meadows without q dollar OF COM
pensation. In the last territorial
legislature bill passed both houses
cutting of very large part Of our
southern territory and annexing
1t to Custer county, but this meas
ure was frustrated by the veto of
the late Governor Stevenson.
This action of the legislature in
depriving US Of our revenue pro-
ducing territory, together with the
imbecility Of some Of the good old
republican carpet-bag judges in
holding unnecessarily long terms OF
the district court at Mt. Idaho,
caused an accumulation of county
debt which, with the growing ne
cessities of the county, we have
been unable to wholly wipe out to
this day. In the old territorial
days it used to be q standing joke
among our people that jurymen
and witnesses died Of old age while
waiting on the pleasure Of the
court to proceed with cases in
which they were interested. The
records will disclose the fact that
it has repeatedly taken two or
three months to adjourn a term OF
the district court in this county
when there were from only three
to seven civil cases on the calendar.
It is q fact that one witness and
one juryman died at Mt. Idaho
during one Of those slow district
court terms, but as his honor was
only . carpet-bag judge sent here
for four years from Washington,
D. c., he had no incentive to at
tend to the business and cared
nothing for the cost to the tax
payers Of those lengthy terms. In
such manner the county debt Of
Idaho county was created as leg
acy to be borne by those who came
later.
Some Of this debt has, Of late
years, been wiped out by careful
management on the part Of sue
cessive boards Of county commits
sioners, but there is much which
can be done by introducing prompt
methods into the administration of
justice in the district court. At
torneys are given too much latitude
In the conduct of cases. They are
permitted to delay their cases from
term to term, and the taxpayers
have to pay the freight in the ad-
ditional expense caused by the un-
necessary detention Of jurymen and
witnesses at the county seat while
waiting on dilatory attorneys to
present their cases for adjudication
or trial.

OF tTI0l.
1t is not the purpose of the FREE
Press to criticize too harshly the
dilatory methods of any Judge in
the conduct of district court mat
ters, but the observing public will
agree with us that there is much
room for improvement. Justice,
to be effective, must be speedy and
cheap. There is altogether too
much dilatory work, entailing un.
necessary expense to the taxpayers,
in tho administration Of justice in
the district court. 1t is evident
that . man is needed as district
judge who will hold the attorneys
to their strict line Of duty, and one
whU will throw their cases out of
court il they are not promptly on
hand to proceed as called for by
the calendar. Such q man is Wall
lace N. Scales. He is himself q
large taxpayer in this county, and
- such he will naturally have a
regard for the interests of his fell
low taxpayers in instituting a
prompt reform in the administra-
ton Of justice in the highest tribu-
nal in this county.
