THE BEST IN THE STATE.
here Is What An Expert Accountant Thinks About
Auditor Ramsted

Moscow, Idaho, Sept. %, 1906.
TO the Honorable Board of County Commissioners of
Latah County, Idaho
Gentemen:-I have this day completed the ex-
animation Of the several Offices in your county and am
pleased to say that have found the accounts correct
in every particular
have thoroughly checked the Auditors Office
ana While 1t necesstaes from three to five days in
other counties to check this Office alone have COM
pleteo the examination OF all the Offices in your
county in less than 4S hours, owing the fact that
the system used in the Auditors Office completely
checks the accounts in the other Offices 1t is not
only systematic but the work is done in busness-ke
manner In this connection will say that I have
taken this system as one to be adopted in 90 per
cent Of the other counties of the state, and it is so
simple and complete that in every instance 1 have
found no effort whatever to convince the officer hay
ing to do with this system that it is the proper one to
find that Mr. Ramsed the Auditor, actually
audits the accounts of the other Offices and in such
way to almost preclude the possibility Of any error
or shortage occurring in either his their ac-
counts.
If I could (Which hope to be able odo) inaug-
urate this system in all Of the Offices Of the state
it would be the best interest Of the people
ana would save the stare OmcerS ana Otate Examiner
Of unnecessary time spent in examination ard
consequently money in expenses
make this statement because, as an expert ac
countant, appreciate the labor and vexation avoided
in my duties as State Examiner.
Yours Truly,
EDW. L. LIGGET,
Ex-Ofhcio State Examiner.
Now Mr.. Voter, you going to accept the
reports Of irresponsible orators who
peddlng all manner Of untruths about Auditor Ram
stedt OF will you take the statement of expert who
has examined the books, not only Of Latah county,
but Of every county in the state7 And either the
statement Of Mr.. Ligge is not true the interests Of
the taxpayers of Laah county are in most competent
hands. And you may believe Mr.. Lgget for his
statement in questioned by those who seek to de-
feat Axel P. Ramstedt for reelection They confne
their opposition on the action Of another mans moth
er-n-law and would turn out the public official Of
whom it is possible say all that Mr. Lgget has said
of Mr. Ramstedt. Hadn't you better think awhile
before you cast your ballot for another man7

SALT WATER FIRE SYSTEM TEST.
Commissioner O'Brien n Others See New
Scheme Tried AZ Coney Island.

A group of insurance underwriters, city
officials and politicians visited Coney Island
yesterday afternoon to witness a test Of the
new salt water main high pressure system
that has beer installed at the seaside re-
sort. An alarm was sounded from Seaside
Park, where two salt water hydrants are
located. Hose Company 1854, housed on
West Eighteenth street, Coney Island, had
arrived, attached lines of hose to two ny
drants, and we're throwing streams to a
height of 200 feet in one minute and a half.
1t took thirty men to handle these twelve
lines, and experienced firemen said it would
need 100 men to handle twelve lines and the
apparatus that goes with them under the
system in vogue in this city.
Among those who saw the test were Fire
Commissioner John H. O'Brien, Fire Chief
Edward +. Croker, Deputy Chief Thomas
Lally, Sheriff Nicholas J. Hayes, First Dep
uty Police Commissioner RhinelanderW Waldo,
Second Deputy Commissioner Arthur j.
O'Keefe, Congratulations Metz, Sena-
ator Pat McCarren and Senator Gardner.
All expressed themselves as greatly pleased
with the test.
