taxpayers" He said that the attitude of
those papers reminded him of the agent

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION MEETS.

The republican county conven
tion will meet tomorrow at Grange
vile and warm session is antici-
pated. The ticket to be put up
will be selected from the strongest
possible timber and the best vote
getters will be placed on the ticket
to make the coming campaign.
Senator Eckert will again be the
choice for state senator and Robert
Jones, G. H. Nugent and some man
from Salmon river or the mountain
district for representatives. Atty.
Hardy will likely be the candidate
for county attorney and Judge
Jaques or F. q. Taylor, of White
Bird, for probate judge. Henry
Telcher is the most likely candi-
date for county treasurer while the
race for sheriff will lay between
Billy Brown, of Grangevilie, and
Frank Risley, of Denver, with the
odds in Browns favor. For asses
sor Miss Bernice Day, of Grange
vile, and l. NJ. Julian, of this
place, are mentioned while there
will likely be several other aspi-
rants for the position. The other
offices will be filled with as strong
men as can be secured although
the republicans expect to make
their main fight on the sheriff and
assessor.

WILL BEARD THE LION.
Senator HeitfeId decides to open Cam
paign in Mormon territory.

Senator Heitfeld has decided to
open the present campaign in the
Mormon counties of the southern
part of the state and will leave at
once for the scene of action. When
questioned by Lewiston Tribune
reporter regarding his trip he re
piled as follows: IA discussion of
the anti-polygamy plank in our
platform will perhaps take up
goodly percentage of my time, es-
pecially in the southeast, where the
Mormons are so numerous. l feel
confident of being able to convince
them that our position on this
question is not an attack upon
either their church or their reli-
gious practices, but that it is strict
ly in line with the laws of this ma.
ton on the federal statute books
and with the manifesto issued by
the head o. their church in 1890
and with the clause in our own
state constitution dealing with this
question, to which l believe every
good member of that church sub
scribed when he voted for the
adoption of said constitution.
have advocated this plank in our
platform without any considera.
tion as to any effect it might have
upon the election results. And
frankly speaking, l do not believe
that by reason of this plank in our
platform we will get single vote
less in the southeast than was
polled for our state ticket two years
ago in that portion of the state.
believe that our prospects for the
election are fair and as the cam
paign progresses and we present
our issnes in plain and unmistak
able language the sentiment will
grow in our favor, We have said
nothing in our platform that we
are ashamed of and shall certainly
not hesitate to speak in strong
words on every declaration made
at our last convention. AS to the
vacancies in our ticket the com
mittee will meet next week to fill
them. l understand there are a
number of candidates for the posi-
tions and | have no boubt but that
the result will be a satisfactory
and strong ticket"

new buildings are being construct
of brick. Over $4,000 has al.
ready been invested there by part
les who were not interested before
the fire and practically all who
were burned out are rebuilding.
The entire business portion and
much of the residence part of the
town of Gem in the Occur d'Alene
country was destroyed by fire last
week entailing a loss of between
100000 and $4,000. The fire
started in vacant building and
when the hose was attached to the

Lee Smith, for several years en-
ployed at Grangeville as bar
tender, committed suicide near the
Indian church at Kamiah last week

To Organize
Commercial Club
A Meeting will be held next tuesday
evening for that Purpose.
EVERYONE INVITED TO COME
All Business Men wanted to become
Members of the Club.

A meeting will be held Tuesday
evening at s o'clock in the old sa-
loon building opposite the hard
ware store for the purpose of orga-
nizing commercial club. We
have talked the matter over with
several of the leading business men
of the town and all are in favor of
organizing. The purpose of the
club when organized will be to take
up any and all prop ositions in and
around town that may appear to
be of value to the village, and after
thoroughly investigating them push
all that are found worthy to sue
cessful elimination. 1t is the aim
to have every business man and
heavy tax payer in the town a
member of the club and then have
them all work together for the mu-
tual benefit, protection and up
building Of the town and commu.
pity. If this is accomplished
wonders can be worked here in a
short time. The trouble with this
town has always been in it's citi-
zens not being able to pull together
and no town can prosper as it prop
erly should when such is the case.
Nearly every town in central Idaho
now has its commercial club and
as result all are making rapid
strides in growth and improve
ment. Situated as we are Cotton
wood should be enjoying almost
double the trade it now has and if
the commercial club is organized
and properly conducted it will soon
bring much of this trade back to
where it properly belongs. A com
mercial club should by all means
he organized here at once and if it
cannot improve conditions it GER
tainly cannot do any harm. Re-
member. by helping your t, wn you
at the same time help yourself as
you cannot hope to prosper when
all around you are in poor circum
stances. Talk the matter oyer
with your friends and all turn out
to the meeting and help organize a
Cottonwood commercial club. You
can't do yourself any harm and
may be the means of helping 9TH
ers. Don't forget the date and
don't wait for someone else TO start.
