Preparing Fruit Exhibit.

A. ]. Kent is preparing a fine
fruit exhibit to display in his real
estate Office. He has purchased a
number of glass jars used for snch
purposes, and is selecting fruit for
them, and would be glad to receive
samples from fruit growers. He
prepared two jars this week. One
consists of Alberta peaches from
the Annis ranch. They would be
prize-wnners, and are large and
luscious-appearing. The other is a
jar of early apples. This fruit was
permitted to get too ripe, but still
shows the size and quality.
MIR. Kent sent a box of fruit &c
Kalispell, this week, to be exhibit
ed. He is to be commended fol-
his efforts to advertise the resour
ccs Of the country.

Renublican Primary.

The Republicans had rather a
lively primary last Monday. There
were 124 votes polled.
There was no fight for justices OF
the peace, O. J. Bandelin and
Thomas Houston receiving practi-
cally the full vote.
For constable it was different. A
spirited but friendly contest was
waged between w. II. Emery. the
present constable, and William
Castle, the latter not being on the
ground, but backed by o. X. Rose
baugh. The contest was so close
that when the Tooth ballot was
counted, the two candidates were
tied. The balance of the ballot:
gave the nomination to Castle by
a majority of 3. Both men are
good Republicans. and either
would have creditably represented
the party.
The officers of election were
Thos. J. Jones and Charlie Mutt.

The article which appeared in
the columns of the HERALD on
Sept. 8, under the heading of, "The
Morgan Ring Joins Democrats
seems to have aroused the ire of
MIR. Morgan and his lieutenants.
That the article hit home to the
leaders of the boilers is in evidence
from the fact that instead of meet
ing the issues candidly and fairly
they have resorted to personal
abuse and mud-slinging, to try to
obscure the real condition and the
weakness of their stand.
If the cause of the bolter is so
righteous and holy, he could take
higher plane for argument. But
he does not do so-he cannot his
position is false and weak, and he
must resort to bi'lingsgate to bols-
ter up a tottering cause.
Judge Morgan and a half-dozen
of his followers are attempting to
betray the Republican party. They
were fairly and overwhelmingly
defeated in the primaries of the
county. For nearly two years
they have been preparing for just
such action as they have taken, in
case they lost in the convention.
They now openly consort with
Democratic leaders, a thing which
for nearly two years they have
been doing secretly. Their chief
spokesman, although masquerad-
ing as a Republican for few
months, has always been a Demo
crat = a lifelong Democrat.
The HERALD was jus titled in u.s.
ing the term Morgan Ring" The
Morgan organs have justified the
use of the term. They persist in
speaking of Heitman ring, and
if the friends who gather around
Mr.. Hoffman as a leader constitute
a i" ring what are the men who
gather around Judge Morgan as o
leader ? We fail to see the differ
ence, except that the inner circle
of the Morgan ring has proved it
self traitorous to the Republican
party, for no cause whatever, ex'
cept disappointment that the ma.
jority of the party did not deem
them worthy of political prefer
ment.
The parties constituting the in
ner circle of the Morgan ring have
boosted of carrying a vast number
of votes in their vest pockets. Re
ports that reach the HERALD are

to ths effect that their attempt to
carry any considerable number Of
well-meaning Republicans astray
is proving miserable failure.
Their ranks are becoming depleted
every day as the true situation be-
comes more apparent. Senator
Barney O'Neil, OF Shoshone coun-
ly, who sometimes figures in Koo-
tcnai county politics, and has been
a strong supporter of the boilers,
before they bolted, has washed his
hands of the whole aggregation.

of the Morgan caucus at the coun-

DEMOCRATS DESERT DUBOIS.
Former Congressman John HALEY
Wants no Bogus Democracy.

Hon. John Haley, lifelong
Democrat, and who was sent to
Congress from Idaho for three
terms by the Democratic party, and
is recognized today as one of the
wheel horses of the party, repudi-
ates Dubois in the following inter
esting letter:

State Central Committee, Roise,
Idaho:
Dear Sir.-Yours of the LIST re-
ceived on the 9TH, in which you ex-
tend me an invitation to speak in
the present campaign, on certain
lines indicated in your letter, and
also on the platform adopted at the
late Democratic convention hell in
Occur d'Alene. Juding from your
letter and the platform, you seem
to have but one issue to present to
the voters of Idaho, and that is a
charge against the Mormons of
church interference in political al
fairs and the practice Of polygamy
and of unlawful cohabitation. We
have laws upon our statutes which
make the practice of the two latter
crime. If there is any man, or
if there are any men in Idaho who
know of any man or men in Idaho
who have taken a plural wife or
wives, or practiced unlawful cohab-
itation since the head of the Nor
mon church announced more than
ten years ago that the Mormons
had stopped the taking of plural
wives and the practices of unlaw-
full cohabitation. he or they should,
as good citizens. go before the
proper officer and swear to a COM
plant charging them with crime.
Have the person or persons who
have violated the law arrested,
tried by the courts, and, if found
guilty, punished as prescribed by
law. | do not know of any viola
tions, in idaho or elsewhere, of the
law referred to. Nor do | know Of

INDIANS GIG BIG FISH.
Spurn the Use of Rod and Reel, But
Land Some Great Bass and
Catfish.

The mountain streams OF Indian
territory, which abound In game fish,
principally black bass, have been as
clear as crystal Of late, and the Indians
have been having great sport gigging
them
In a mountain stream In the terri
tory when the water Is clear the bot
tom can be seen through six feet Of
water, and this makes gigging a great
sport for the Indians. They are ex-
perts with the canoe and the gig, and
spurn the finest fishing tackle in the
way of rod and reel as 1t Is too slow
sport for them.
1t is interesting to watch couple Of
Indians gig fish. With the long, slen-
der reed, tipped and barbed with steel,
one Indian leans over the prov Of the
canoe while the other with his paddle
gently and noiselessly lets the canoe
slide up to the big rocks and around
logs In deep water, where the bass and
catfish lie. The Indian carries his gig
uplifted and ready to strike at any
time.
With his face not six inches above
the water. his keen eyes scan the bot
tom, and he will locate bass or cat
fish lying partly under rock or log
that would never be seen by the aver
age fisherman. The stroke of the dex
ferrous arm is like lightning and in a
fash the fish is speared through and
lifted In the boat.
There Is nc struggling to land him,
NO excitement of winding In the line,
for the Indian hunts for game, and not
for sport.
An Indian seldom misses his fish
when he throws the gig. And his mo-
ton Is SO perfect and his balance so
even that there is scarcely tremor in
the boat, while the amateur is more
likely to not only miss his fish two
feet, but stand on his head in the wa
ter besides.
