deep he will have to go for artesian

gets a good flow of water, he will
be doing a great service to this sec

since and filed on a halt section

that he would bore there for arte-

The latter is a machinist and expert
on drill operation, having had much
experience in sinking oil wells. He
will have charge of the work here
and if water is struck in sufficient
quantities, will secure land and re-

by A. N. Bourassa and wife, of St

No GOOding Money in Sight.

Last week Maverick published a
story from the Boise Statesman,
in which it was stated that Joseph
Spiegel of that town had put up
$1,000 on a wager that Gooding
would carry this state by 5000
majority; that some Mountain
Home people, unnamed, had put up
a forfeit to cover the thousand. j.
H. Garrett states that the Gooding
touter never put up his money. He,
Ed Goddard and Harry lie Bar
placed their forfeit, the thousand
from each side to be posted on the
fifteenth. They were there with
their thousand but the other party
failed to Hnateria1ize. 1t is stated
that when it was reported around
town that there was Gooding mon
ey to bet on that proposition, dem
ocrats fell over each other in their
vain efforts 10 get some of such Z

to get there Why? Oh, well, you
know, the other candidate, Walters.
No one present asked the question;
they were all on. Everybody knows
that Walters failed to secure the
democratic nomination for congress
two years ago, and acted over his
defeat like petulant, spoiled child,
Threatening to play no more in the
democratic back yard. But there is.
more to the story, revealed by a lady
who was let into the dark, dirty
secret. Governor Gooding, learn
the Walters mind, made of him a
republican convert by promising
him the judgeship nomination, on
condition that he make all the noise
possible about his change of mind
political. At a moment when no
one was watching him and Good
ing had temporarily let go of the
string, he told of the gaudy honor
promised by the master mechanic of
the republican machine, and the
lady in the case just couldn't resist
the desire to confidc it to her dear
est friend and that was the effect
i've medium of publicity.
Who wants such a man to wear
the ermine?
Judge Stockslager stopped off here
to see a few friends; possibly in
connection with his gubernatorial
candidacy. The Judge disseminat-
ed some cheerful information to
his supporters regarding the repub-
lican revolt in the north. He said
it was a reality, named names and
gave the facts in detail. He also
: stated that over in Ada county he
: will receive many republicar
} votes. He is not making any
speeches in this campaign, merely
circulating around, shaking hands,
whispering the password to old time
friends and declaring that things
look good to him.
