SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY.
Prospects for the coming Term are
Exceptionally Bright.

School commences Monday when
the boys and girls will again take
up their positions in the school
room and prepare for several
months of hard study. The pri-
mary and intermediate depart
ments, under the supervision of
Miss Gribbin and Mrs. Severns,
will doubtless make the same ex-
cellent progress as last year while
Mr.. Belknap the new principal,
will straighten out the grammar
department and get in shape to do
the good work it should properly
accomplish. The out look for the
school this term is exceedingly
good and with the friendly co op-
Grafton of the parents the school
should make grand strides in all
departments.

Bernard Boeckman, the second
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Boeck
man, died at his parents home up
near the mountain at late hour
last Friday night from typhoid fe-
yer. The young man, who was

near Denyer. He at once returned
home and DR.. Turner was called in
but in spite of all. medical skill
could do he rapidly grew worse
and died Friday night. The de
ceased was bright young fellow
just entering manhood and gave
every promise OF becoming loyal
citizen and an honor to his coun
try. He had many friends and
the heartfelt sympathy of all goes
ont to the aged parents in their
sad affliction. The remains were
inferred in the Catholic cemetery
here Sunday, a large, number OF

Many Candidates being Mentioned
for County Offices.
THnEE FOn COMMISSIONER
Convention meets Tomorrow and will be
well Atteaded.

County politics has warmed up
considerably since our last issue
and all kinds Of candidates are
springing into prominence. Three
men from this district are being
mentioned for county commissioner
George Simon, George Terhaar
and Jacob MatEiesen. All are
good men and it is hard to cay
which will have the most support
at the convention. We have not
bsen able to learn who the republi
can candidate from this district
will be. For county assessor ]. Y.
Nash, of White Bird, HI. Hattrup,
of Keuterville, and Mr.. Stevens, of
Grangeville, are being mentioned
0n the democratic ticket while
Mics Day, of Grangeville, is out
for the nomination on the republi-
can ticket. For sheriff the demo-
cratic candidates are John Seay,
VIM. Yates and Jerry Baker, of
Grangeville, and Nick McGree, OF
Buffalo Hump. The republican
candidates for the office are Ned
Greene and Levi Castle, of Grange
Vile, and Frank Risley and Mr.,
Zumwalt, Of Denver. The race for
probate Judge will probably lie
between Judge Taylor and Judge
Jaques and Attorneys Griffith and
Hardy will oppose each other for
county attorney. The other offices
are sought by several candidates
on each side and until the conven.
tions are over it will be impossible
to form an estimate Of who will
secure the nominations. The re
publican convention meets on Sat
urday, September 10th, and after
that date the campaign will begin
in dead earnest and possibly be
come very warm in several local..
ties.

"A sTopY OF THE WEEK
4 few Incidents that have occurred in
the State s;ace our last Issue.

Culdesac has let the contract for
the erection Of two story four
room brick school house TO cost
$5469.
The new steamer Mountain Gem
has been leased for one year to G.
F. Allen, Of Lewiston, who will op-
crate il on the upper Snake river.
The Robert CIR, stein ranch of
900 acres, located in the Tammany
country, was sold this week to Hor-
ace Nelson, a Tammany farmer, for
$25, 900.
A rich strike is reported on the
Big Buffalo claim at the Hump
and it is said 10 men will soon be
put to work there and mill will
be installed there this winter.
Isaac Marshal, an Indian about
30 years old, was killed by light
ming near Culdesao Saturday. He
was well educated and said to be
worth several thousand dollars.
A forest FIRE burned almost into
the town of Orofno Sunday and
threw burning cinders all over the
town. The citizens had to watch
closely to keep the town from be-
ing set afire.
A heavy storm Sunday did great
damage in the Clifford and Melrose
section where the hail shattered
out entire fields Of grain. One
farmer near Melrose estimates his
loss at $4,000.
On September 9th Al 900 acres
of land in the Fort Hall reserva-
tion near Pocatello will be thrown
open for settlement. The land Of
fee at Blackfoot is already crowded
with prospective locators and more
are coming in on every train.
| About a hundred head of cattle
were reported stolen fIom the Wa
ha section late last week by parties
who were camping there and
searchers secured the country all
week trying to locate the cattle.
The entire mountain country and
much of the Salmon river country
was searched but without result.
Part of the cattle were later dis
covered in the Big canyon country
where they had evidently been
broken up into small bands and
scattered.
!, Beginning in January, 1905, sal
aries of state officers in Idaho will
be raised as follows: Governor
from $4,000 to $4,000 per annum,
secretary of state from $500 to
$2400, attorney general from $4,000
to $4,000, treasurer from $1,000 TO
$4,000, school superintendent from
$500 to $2400, mining inspector
$1,000 to $500. supreme court jus
tices from $4,000 to $4,000. There
are only eight states in the union
that pay higher salary to the
governor than Idaho, these being
California, Illinois, Kentucky, Mas.
sachusetts, New Jersey, New York.
Ohio and Pennsylvania. There
are twelve states that pay the same
and twenty-five that pay less than
Idaho.

Leo Moore, who was arrested
here over a year ago and taken to
Pomeroy where he was sentenced
to year in The penitentiary for
horse stealing, has again returned
to this place.
The J. L. Root sawmill south Of
Grangeville was destroyed by FIRE
Tuesday night together with most
of the lumber in the yard The
loss is about $4,000 with no insor-
ance.
An effort is being made to secure
a pardon for D. L. McGann who
killed a man named Morrison near
Kooskia three years ago over a
claim. McGann was found guilty
OF manslaughter when everyone
thought he would be sentenced for
murder. 1t is doubtful If many
will sign the petition for his par
don.
w. C. McNutt returned Tuesday
from Kamiah where he has been
surveying the new townsite across
the river from it's present location.
The town has never been. able to
advance as it should as it is located
on Indian land and no title could
be secured to the property. The
change will put it on patented
ground and also move it from Nez
Perce into Idaho county. We will
welcome their addition to our citi.
zenship and predict a prosperous
future for the new town.-Fret
Press.
Superintendent John L. Smith
of the Spokane Interstate fair stock
4denartment says there is every
| prospect of as good an exhibition
of stock this year as there ever
has been in the past. In fact it is
probable there will be more horses
mofe cattle and better grades o
both this year than there were las-
year and everyone who attended
the fair last year will remember
that the stock department wal
very fine. Already Mr.. Smith has
received definite assurances of the
coming of as many head of cattle
as were exhibited last year and ir
the list be has not counted any O
'heetock from the Spokane breed
ers which will add considerably t.
this namber. Besides these ther,
will undoubtedly he other stock
taken to Spokane which has no,
been exhibited there before and
which has not been reported. Tn,
railroads win bring stock to the
fair for the usual rates and will re-
turn it free of charge if it was ex
hibited at the fair. If the stock il
travelling the circuit .of fairs ths
rates on the railroads will be ad.

Visits the Craig Moantain Section
Sunday Evening.
CLEARWATER LINE TIED UP
CIoadbursts wash away Houses and
Hail destroys Crops.

A terrific rain and vhail storm
resulting in cloudbursts in several
places passed over the Craig noun
tain country from west to east Sun
day evening. In the Waha section
several fields of grain were beaten
down and destroyed by the heavy
fall of hail. The storm passed on
east from there and in the Sweet
water section the rainfall amounted
almost to cloudburst. The water
descended from the surrounding
hills into the canyon and flooded
both warehouses at that place. In
the Lenore and Clifford country the
hail again did great damage to the
standing crops. In the vicinity oi
Peck and Lenore the storm resulted
in another severe cloudburst and
the water came down the canyons
in torrents washing several houses
from their foundations and wash,
ing out a section Of railroad track
between Peck and Lenore. TIL,
rain also caused several slides or
the Clearwater line which tied W
traffic until Tuesday. The storm
covered a wide scope of country
and seemed to follow the mountain
range from eastern Oregon across
into the Pierce City country.
