Willard Lemon struck a splendid
flow Of water with his six-inch bore, at
Ia feet, in the rear of his Fourth and
Franklin street property. The drive
was made by Mr.. Jewell, who has one
of the latest improved machines for
well-boring, operated by steam. He
did not use stream of water for
sluicing out the mud and sand, but an
appliance known as q sand-pump,
which is cylinder about ten feet
long, of slightly less diameter than the
we'll, with an automatic valve which
closes when filled with the mud and
water to be lifted. The total cost of
the we'll driven was 81 per foot, or
1929, and it adds much more than
that to the value of the property.

circumstances that prove it was a

was burning. The building belonged

Has anyone heard any repub

Has anyone heard any republic
con spellbinder express an opinion
on the beet sugar bounty? The
last republican legislature passed a
bill providing for this bounty and
the only reason 1t was not paid
was because State Auditor Turner
refused to draw the warrants, and
for this act was defeated for re.
nomination. The bill still stands
against the state, and if the repub-
licans are successful in this cam
paign they are in duty bound to
pay it. At conservative esti-
mate this bounty will aggregate in
the neighborhood of 100000 be-
fore the next legislature could meet
to repeal the act and Idaho coun-
tvs share would be between So, 900
and $4,000. The money, if paid,
will 60 into the Golfers of the Nor
mon church, which lobbied the bill
through the legislature, and built
the factories. In what way has
Idaho county been benefited by
this expenditure of the Taxpayers
money? Has sugar become cheaper?
Has it improved our roads, in
creased our taxable property, or
supplied market for our products?
Everyone knows that it has not.
The position of the democrats
is plain upon this issue and our
people should see that democrats
are sent to the legislature from
this county thereby insnring the
protection Of their interests against
the ravages of crafty politicians.

Protest Against Graft.

Dixie, Id aho, Oct. IA, 1904.
Editor Free Press:
Can you tell me what kind Of a
graft game tn Stage company,
doing business between Sites and
Grangeville, is operating? A cou-
pie of months ago a package was
shipped to me from point in
Missouri, plainly marked destina-
ton, Dixie, Idaho, via. Sites.
Three weeks ago l got postal
card from the company's Office at
Grangeville telling me that if l
would pay charges from Sites to
Grangeville and back again from
Grangeville to Sites, the package
would be forwar ded to it's destina.
ton. On inquiring at the office in
Sites, ! find that the package never
even passed through his office, but,
though plainly marked for Dixie
as its destination, was grabbed by
the Stage company at Sites and
brought to Gran geville. You will
understand that there is no con-
nection by stage, or otherwise, be-
tween Grangeville and Dixie, ex-
cept via. Sites, consequently a
package, with Dixie as it's ultimate
destination, is "dead' when it
reaches Grangeville. A number
OF persons in Dixie with whom l
talked tell me they have been
treated in the same manner. Sure
~ the good people of Grangeville
DO not countehance such doings,
nor can they in justice to them
selves and their prestige allow
such graft methods to be employed.
When l finally went in person to
Grangeville for the package, and
showed the tag at the company's
Office and asked about it, [ could
not get satisfactory answer from
them. ROBERT q. BAILEY.

Two Mile Limit.

That the republicans fear they
will lose the votes of farmers and
ranchers on account Of Gooding'e
hostile attitude toward the two
mile limit law, prior to his nomi.
nation, is made plain by the efforts
OF the organs now so busy trying
to make the people think that the
law If q most favorite one with Mr..
Gooding. They put much stress
on that portion of Gooding's speech
where he assures the people that be
will not, if elected governor, use
his influence to cause the repeal OF
the two mile limit law. But are
the farmers going to be SO easily
duped? There is no need of re-
pealing the law, the supreme court
has done nearly as much. A band
OF sheep going leisurely along
through the country can eat the
grass in your back yard, but be-
cause they are not being herded
there you cannot claim damages
for the violation Of any law.
Therefore the two mile limit law,
after being "doctored," offers no
protection to the farmers and they
would loose nothing by having it
wiped of the statute books. Now
here is the difference between the
standing of the two parties on this
one issue. The republicans prom

Senator Heyburn in his tai

Senator Hepburn in his talk
before the republicans Of Grange
will Thursday evening attempted
to hold the republicans in line by
holding up to them all of the good
deeds Of the republican party from
it's beginning down to the present
time, and advanced the theory
tn at we should vote the republican
ticket for the sole and only reason
that the republicans had been SO
long in power that they alone knew
of the needs of the people and how
to administer to their wants. In
state and national affairs he advo-
Gated the retention of a protective
tariff as a panacea for all ills, but
thought that the good people OF
Idaho county should turn out the
democrats and place inexperienced
republicans in their places.
He at no time made mention
OF trusts or corporations or to the
Ideal Teddy as "trust BUSTER.
He made no attempt to defend the
action of the legislature of the state
of Idaho for the passage of the
beet sugar bounty act, which will,
if sustained by the supreme court,
cost the tax payers of the state
$500, 900. He told of the high
price of wool but forgot to mention
the price of cattle. He declared
that the Mormon question was not
an issue because the republicans
would not consider it one. He
made no comparison of the per
capita cost of national expenses of
the present time with the past.
He denied that he had made any
compact with the Mormon church
for their support in his election
but made no explanation for his
strenuous support of the Mormon,
Wooley, as assayer.
Senator Hepburn seemed to feel
hurt because the democrats in their
platform adopted at Lewiston con-
demned hi m and Congressman
French for their lack OF effort or
inability to get sufficient appro-
priations for an open river to the
