Sheriff Oxford reports business in
his department of the county govern
ment duller than at any time since he
has been in Office. Everybody is busy
at work, and that makes little work
for the sheriff. There are only six
prisoners now in jail, and prospects
for the number to be much increased
any time soon are not good.

CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
WILL MEET AND FIX DATE FOR
SECOND DISTRICT PRIMARY.
Has Been Called to Assemble in Al
bany Today Week. Judge Griggs

Has a Clear Field, and Is Like
" TO Remain UnOppOsed.
A meeting of the democratic eXecu-
tive committee of the second congress
sional district has been called for next
Wednesday, the 18th inst, in Albany.
The committee has been without a
chairman since the death of Captain
r. Hobbs, who held the position for
number of years, and the call for the
meeting was issued by Mr.. II. M. Nc
Intosh, secretary of the committee, at
the request of majority OF the mem
bers.
The new counties in the district,
Tiff, Turner and Grady, are re-
ouested to send representatives to
the meeting. Hon. Fl. A. Wilkinson
is the member of the committee for
Terrell county.
Judge Frank Park of Worth county,
who presided over the last district
convention, will in all probability
be given the Craftsmanship without
contest.
In addition to electing new chair
jail "a udLC III a pA AAAASAA w A@OAAAA
nate a representative in the next con-
gress will be fixed. 1t is the idea
of members of the committee who
have expressed themselves that an
early primary should be called so as
have it out of the way before the gu
bernatorial campaign warns up to
white heat.
The calling together of the commit
tee will stir up the politicians of the
district, and if there is to be contest
for congressional honors the fact will
now develop. There is no indication
whatever that Judge Griggs will be
opposed, and it is perhaps safe to
say that he will be unanimously re-
turned to congress. He is very strong
with the people of the district, and a
race against him would be apt to
amount to very little.

LUCKY FIND
Treasurer Smith Saves Snug Sum
TO County.

Partly through chance, but
more through his habit of con.
Quoting business affairs in meth
odical manner, Treasurer Rose ae
w. Smith recently put $1050 into
Elm ore county's pocket. While
engaged in systematizing lot of
documents filed away in the Treas
urer's desk, Mr.. Smith unearthed
bundle of old poll tax receipts
which, it occurred to him,, might
be converted into cash. The re-
ceipts were forwarded to the State
auditor. and the following letter
explains the result:
Boise, Idaho, August l, 1906.
Mr.. Roscoe w. Smith, County
Treasurer, Mountain Home,
Idaho.
Dear Sir: | beg leave to &C.
knowledge receipt of poll tax re-
ceipts for the year 1899 numbered
5201 to 5551, inclusive, being 35O
receipts at So, amounting to $l050,
for which your county has been
given credit. Your county would
have been given credit sooner for
these receipts, but, owing to the
illness of Mr.. Liggett, these re-
ceipts were not delivered to this
office until few days ago.
Very respectfully,
Robt S. Bragaw,
State Auditor,
Geo w. Lewis,
Deputy.
In view of the fact that the State
has presented bill of something
over $1,000 against Elmoye county,
Mr.. Smiths discovery will reduce
the debt considerably.
