THE DEFEATED CANDIDATE.

I'm glad / amt elected; glad they
didn't put me i'm
I'd never run If I'd thought had a
chance to win;
You see. l couldn't spare the time
the office nd demand,
Because of the private kinds of
biznsss I've on hand
So let the other fellow have the
honor-I don't care
But I'd "a got there all the same if
they'd "a counted fair!
I'm glad l amt elected-glad I'm
out OF it and free,
Instead of havin' heeleers come in
droves to poster me!
Let them that likes such "honors'
have the worries and cares,
/ can always make more money
'tendin' to my own affairs,
But want it understood that I'd
a. won without doubt
II the crooks and buns and gang
sters hadn't thrown my ballots
out.
I'm glad the troubles over-glad
the mud has all been thrown
Glad I'm not somebody puppet-
glad my soul is still my own!
I'm glad my hands are clean and
that my conscience amt upset
Glad I've got no cares of office
and Ill beat that shyster yeti
L didn't want to run, but there was
no one else would do,
And the other fellows Doodle was
the thing that pulled h M
through!

A Queer World.

This topsy-turvy world. One
man is struggling for justice, and
another is fleeing from it. One man
is saving to build house and an
other is trying to sell his for less
than cost. One man is spending all
he can make In taking girl to an
entertainment and flowers in the
hope eventually of making her his
wife, while his neighbor is spending
all the gold he has to get a divorce.
One man escapes all the diseases
flesh is heir to and gets killed on
the railway. Another gets every
where without being hurt, and fin
ally dies with the whooping cough.

LOON CREEK MINES.
Boise Statesman.

]. A. Czizek was 10 the city recently,
having come into town on some busi-
ness connected with the Lost Packer
company, of which he is manager.
Mr.. Czizek has not been at the mine
for some time, having been East and
ia California. He said while here that
his reports from the mine were very
satisfactory, but he preferred to verify
the statements made to him before
giving out the information in detail
In general way, Mr.. Czizek said an
or the vein between No. and had
opened up large body of ore. The
superintendent reported this ore body
as being % feet wide with streak of
rich ore three or four feet wide on the
foot wall. The rest of the ore was re-
ported as being of good grade.
This intermediate tunnel has been
run midway between the two other
tunnels named. No. 2 is 200 feet YER
tically below No. 1. 1t has been con-
tinued during the winter and has
reached length of about 400 feet, ore
showing all the way. When the last
letter was written the superintendent
was cross-cutting to reach the walls.
The large tunnel is being run to ex-
ploit the ledge $50 feet below No. /.
Mr. Czizek said further it was the
plan of the company to put in smelt-
ing plant this year. The theory was
that they could purchase rich silver
lead ores from the Sheep Mountain
mines and secure product, by smelt-
ing the Lost Packer gold ore with
them, and would bear transportation.
The Iead-silver ores have a value ot
some SIS ton. By running two tons
of the second grade Lost Packer ore
with one of the other, a product having
a value of $3.50 ton or more woulc
result. The first-class ore from the
Packer can always be shipped as il
comes from the mine.
Mr. Czizek had letter written from
New York by Lewis A. Hall, president
of the Pacific and Idaho Northern
stating that c. c. Ruthrauff and hi:
associates had purchased 40 claims il
the Loon creek district and were ar
ranging for extensive operations thu
year. Some of the claims included 10
that combination are known to Mr.
4 Czizek and he has endeayored to bu,

Salt Lake Herald.

Salt Lake Herald.
On his way back to Thunder Noun
tain, after an extended business trip
East, j. b. Randall, the postmaster
and business man of Roosevelt, stop
ped off in Salt Lake yesterday. He
took the night train for Boise, and af-
ter stop of few days there he will
hit the trail for home. In talking over
conditions in the Thunder Mountain
regions during the afternoon Mr..
Randall said it was one of the best and
also most abused mineral regions in
the West.
Within a radius of twelve miles of
Roosevelt, in what we term the free
milling zone" said he, I'VE have a
large number of foe mines and pros
poets, the great low grade ore bodies
of which are destined to add many
millions to the worlds supply of gold
during the next few years. In time
these free milling ores will be worked
out down to the sulphides or base ores,
and then different processes of treat
ing the ores, will of necessity, have to
be introduced. So vast are the de-
posits of free milling rock, however,
that it will take long time to reach
the conditions l mention. The great
mass of this ore will probably average
from So to $40 per ton, while at differ
ent points and under varying eondi-
tions not little very rich ore will be
mined. Several companies have beer
doing splendid work during the past
year, and with additional milling
facilities which are promised during
the coming season there is every rea'
son to expect good output of gold
bullion.
"As postmaster of the town of Roose-
velt l have been swamped, almost
with letters from all over the country
asking my opinion of this or that prop
erty, the merit of this and that kline
of stock, and have taken the pains tC

change in present school law.
ALI changes and suggested legisla-
tion should be outlined and put in form
of bills ready to go before the leg isla-
ture, and be presented at the next

Motion was made and carried that
the questions in Theory and Art for
the February examination be taken
from Whites Art of Teaching.
The matter of funds for the school
exhibit at the st. Louis Exposition
was discussed and it was decided that
each County Superintendent should see
that pictures are furnished sx10 inches.

and pictures for this exhibition. Send
your negatives to Mr.. Myers, as sug-
gested in circulars, and when the
work is finished we will ask for his

the expense.
advise that one photographer in
each county be hired to take all school
views, pack negatives and ship same
to Mr.. Myers in Boise.
1t rests with the County Superin-
tendents to raise the funds for the
various counties, whichever way seems
advisable:-to ask the County Com
missioners to appropriate the required
amount-ask the children to donate
FIVE cents apiece, or request each dis
trict to provide funds for its own ex-
hibit Follow whatever plan seems
best. Just so we get creditable ex-
hibit and get it in time to ship with
the April car.

hibit work consists of Mrs. Anna Har-
mer, H. II. Thornton and Miss Martha
keenan,.

To THE Co. SUPT's. OF IDAHO =
At the meeting of the County Super
intendents Dec. 31st, 1908, motion
was made by Mrs. Anna Harmer that
we as County Superintendents of the
State of Idaho authorize the State
Superintendent to employ two instruc-
tors, one of whom must be a practical
primary specialist, to conduct the in
stitutes in the various counties for one
year-the time to be limited to six days
in each county. Motion was seconded
by Miss keenan, and carried.
1t was decided at this meeting that
the County Superintendents should ad-
wise the State Superintendent at the
earliest possible date, the time in
which the institute should be held in
their respective counties.
The report of the committee, ap-
pointed by the State Superintendent
on institute work was adopted. 1t
was recommended by this committee
that the State Superintendent engage
instructors early and that the time for
commencing the work be about August
18th, 1904.
Further recommended that the
County Superintendents send to the
office, of State Superintendent an out
line of the work needed to be done in
the county, also the time most con-
venient for holding the institute.
The committee consisted of Miss
Flora A. North, Miss Mary q. Harper
and Lewis Elsenshon.
Motion was made and carried that
the County Superintendents meet once
year at the time aud place of State

base ore district 1t really has no
connection with Thunder Noun tain at
all, but numerous companies have been
foated which held and pretended to
hold ground in that region and adver-
tised themselves as Thunder Mountain
companies. What ore some of them
may have is of such character that it
will have to be treated by complicated
methods, and. owing to the remote
ness of and difficulty in getting in
supplies and machinery into the re-
gion, it will take long time to bring
it out. l don't know how many com
panies have been selling stock in the
East which claim to have mines at
Thunder Mountain, but Ihave exposed
a number of them during my trip and

1T is not necessary for us to lie
about Thunder Mountain. Legitimate
mining enterprises have been estab-
lished almost without number, and
the district is being brought out on its
merits. 1t takes time, to be sure, but
that is required in any mining district,
even though it is close to bases of sup
plies and railroad transportation. By
and by we expect to have railroad and
other civilized facilities that will bring
our camp in closer touch with the
world, and then we shall grow in i'm
portance with the best of them"

"A petition was circulated in this
place last week, and received forty
signatures, asking Congress to ap-
propriate $50. 900 to open salmon river
below Salmon City, SO that loaded fiat
boats can float down the river in SAT-
iety. There are at least five reefs of
rock in the channel of the river that
makes the down-river navigation very
dangerous. and Congress is asked to
appropriate money so that these reefs
may be blasted out This kind of
navigation has been carried on in a
limited way from Salmon to Shoup for
a number of years. but numerous ship
wrecks have been the result on account
of the rock reefs in the river, endang-
ering life and property. The boats are
constructed at Salmon City and loaded
with supplies and foated down the
river. When they reach their destina-
tion they are taken apart and the lum-
Der is used for mining and other pur-
poses The proposed plan to open
Salmon river is feasible and it would
open up vast mineral and timber re-
gion in the lower Salmon river country.
