Report comes that Hon. H. f.
Powell has just struck 3-foot
ledge of high grade ere in his
Nellie claim on Garden creek.
No particulars at this time.
A. Blume left at this Office on
Saturday as fine sample of
onions grown from seed as we
ever saw in this country. They
were raised in his fathers gar
den on Salmon river.
A Texas editor who published
the Ten Commandments is said
to have lost half of his subscrib-
ers before he could explain in
the next issue that nothing per-
sonal was intended. They
thought he had a dig" in it for
them.
One OF the best reasons yet
given why so many men hereto
fore prominent in the republican
party are leaving that party and
joining political organizations to
further Judge Parker's candi-
dacy, is TO help put an end to
encroachments on the constitu-
ton. The business men of the
country desire stable business
conditions, and they desire to
have man in the presidential
Office who, unlike the present
occupant, would not substitute
his personality for the law, nor
inject his individuality into every
important action of the execu-
tive. That's why the great bust
ness interests are supporting the
candidacy of Judge Parker, says
an exchange.

THAT AUTHORIZED STATEMENT .

The World and few more of
it's kind are publishing what
they would like to have the vot-
ers believe to be an authorized
statement" from 'sheepy" Good
ing, which reads like this
II want to say that I am in
favor of the two-mile limit law
as it now stands on the Idaho
statute books. Should any leg
islature pass a bill to repeal that
law while am governor, I shall
veto it,"
The fact of the matter is, that
authorized statement is false
hood of the first water. Good
ing and his gang know it is, and
so do the farmers. Nearly
everybody knows that this same
Gooding, as president of the
Woolgrower's Association, put
up the money to carry a case
through the highest courts of
this state, the sole object of the
suit being to have the two-mile
limit law declared unconstitu-
tional. That authorized state
ment" is tainted with the very
odor from the Gooding fiocks.
But that isn't all. Two years
ago Gooding and his gang used
every effort, dishonorable and
otherwise, to defeat Morrison il
the nomination for governor, but
failed. Gooding, as chairman Of
the state central committee, tried
every way possible to get Nor
rison to oppose that law, bu
Morrison refused to be tool IL
the hands of the flock masters
Principally for this very reason
the Gooding- Borah-French com
bination defeated Morrison fot
denomination at Moscow. Th'
sturdy farmers will take care o
that authorized statement" OF
election day. Weiser Signal.

eAMsLlHe DEVICES BURNED.


Dispatch to Boise Statesman. -
While ministers who are attend
ing the Methodist conference
fervidly sang, Praise God From
Whom All Blessings Flow"
probably the vestiage of gamb-
ling paraphernalia in Haley was
burned at l o'clock in front of
the courthouse in the presence
of practically the entire popula-
ton.
Following an outburst of pop

Quoted here, Sheriff Davis and
County Attorney L. l.. Sullivan
today made a raid on every
gambling house in the place,
confscated all the paraphernalia
they could find and had it carted
to the courthouse. A large
crowd had assembled by the
time the match was applied to
the pile, and as the flames licked
up the already wrecked devices
and the ministers poured forth
their song of joy, the gathering
took the appearance of a mon
ster camp. meeting perhaps the
most spectacular ever held.
One after another the 'hell's
instruments" as one of the min
isters called them, were reduced
to ashes and the excitement be-
came intense and numbers of
citizens gave more or less agi-
tated expression to their approx
al of the destruction.
Some of the visiting ministers
addressed the crowd briefly,
pointing out the dangers of per-
mitting gambling to flourish in
any community. The people
were thoroughly responsive and
entirely in harmony with the
procedure; and if the suggestion
had been made that there was
gambling devices hidden away
in the bowels of the Minnie
Moore mine it is quite likely it
would have been brought to the
surface without loss of time and
piled upon the smouldering ruins
at the courthouse. So pro-
nounced was the feeling that
open gambling should be abol
ished that it is not believed any
further attempt will be made fol
some time, if at all, to open uT
this place.
The program of destruction
was not confined to Haley. The
same officers went over to Bel

house was raided. The gamb

At 2:SO the people adjourned almost
en- mass to the ball ground where a

played by the Whitwell and local team.
The rain which had been threatening
from noon eliminated in shower at
4:43 and the game was brought to an
end the score being Sequachee s, Whit.

wsrded to manager Morgan Tuesday.
The days enjoyment was closed by q

was rapturously applauded and we'll

TO THE FARMERS OF TENNESSEE.

Whereas, we recognize the fact that
our statute books are becoming more
and more laden at each session OF our
legislature with laws filled with tech
icalites, that when construed by our
learned Judges are too often oppressive
and unjust in execution; and whereas,
we have seen many cases OF unjust tax
alton without recourse, We believe a
change would be beneficial both to the
farmer and the mechanic. Therefore,
as mechanics we address to you this
letter, urging you to organize along
Trades Union lines. We, as mechanics,
realize that you do not get fair per
cent Of the product of your farm. We,
as mechanics, would just as soon pay
you the price for your product as we
pay the commission man, the retail
man, and last, but not least the huck-
ster. All these men get their per cent
age. This same rule works in legisla-
ton. Any measure that is oppressive
to US, finally becomes oppressive to
you. Our interests are identical, and
we ask you to cooperate with as and
work for the common good Of both or
ganizations, pledging that in all work
affecting legislation we will always CO.
operate with you.
Hoping you will take this matter up
and give it due consideration, we are,
Respectfully yours,
