Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1906-11-03


W. A. Jones of Grange4ille, candidate
on the republican ticket for the legisla-
ture, writes Mining News that owing
to limit of time and press of business
matters he will not be able to come to
Elk City and meet the voters, as he had
hoped to, do. The News is sorry Mr..
Jones could not favor us with his pres
esnce just little while, for the voters
are taking Stock of the various candi-
dates this. fall and are going to cast
their ballot for the man they think best
qualified to discharge he duties of the
office, regardless of party utilization.
Mr.. Jones, we understand, is Son of
one of the pioneer farmers on Gamas
prairie. If the Jonses are as numerous
out there as they are in some sections
of the country, Mr.. Jones ought to have
at least strong support.
Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1906-11-03

More important than the election or
defeat of any candidates this fall is the
way the majority of the voters of Idaho
express themselves on the proposed
amendments. If there were no other
argument against those amendments
the studied silence among the leaders
in politics in both parties ought to be
sufficient to condemn them. Remember
the interests that lobbied in the last
legislature to have these changes in the
state constitution brought about are
asking for the new legislation for pur-
pose. Those interests are organized
and they and their hirelings will cast a
solid vote for the changes in the consti-
tuition. 1t is up to the voter to deter

mean benefit or harm to Idaho, and then

THE C1rIzEN's RESPONSIBILITY.

THE CITIZENS RESPONSlblLIIf :.
The highest right enjoyed by people
of free government will be exercised
on next Tuesday when we show our
preference Of the men to serve us III
the various Offices of government. The,
positions to be filled include all those of
township, county, state and nation, ex-
cepting the presidency only. Voters in
Idaho have had the privilege to express
their preference of men to serve them
in the United States senate. Tuesday
they will choose the men to serve the
state of Idaho in the lower house of the
national congress-.
Though voting is more often spoken
Of as being privilege, it is not privi-
1age; it is a duty, Were you born
republican, or democrat, Mr.. Voter?
have you formed the habit of ''votin'
'er straight" If you have drifted
along with the political tide, allowed
habit to gain an ascendency over you,
and you do not give your vote the best
thought you are capable of giving it,
then you have not reached the highest
citizenship in nation 'of the people,
for the people and by the people," The
voter is sovereign in America. Our
government depends entirely upon the
character of the individuals who com
pose it. A republican government can
not be better than the majority of its
people. Your citizenship depends upon
the thought and consideration you give
your vote.
The News hopes the voters will break
away from habit and prejudice this fall
and choose as their servants men of
the highest intelligence and character
regardless of the party to which they
belong. Recent history in the various
states in the union, where graft and
corruption has been uncovered, is proof
positive neither of the political parties
have such corner on honesty that the
voter can vote straight ticket with
the feeling of assurance that he is going
to get the best service it was possible
for him to get. Long tenure in office
is proving the undoing of parties ii
some of the older states, where bosses
have ruled with an iron hand for years
and feared not the wrath of the people
There are good men on all the tickets
to be voted on in Idaho this election
and the voter should have no hesitancy
in voting for the man instead of the
party.
This is the age of free thought il
politics. The voter has ceased making
so much noise at election and is giving
his vote more sober thought.

ton. Every amendment ought to be
rejected by an overwhelming vote!
'Let the voters of all parties, in this
part of the state at least, show. that
they do not want the constitution of the
state shot to pieces.

HORRORS AT FRISCO
Prison Matron Tells Her Ex-
 perience of Earthquake.
CELL DOORS COULD NOT BE OPENED
Many Hardened Convicts shrieked For Mercy and Then knelt Down and Prayed For Deliver
 ance From Death.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 4.-Locked in separate cells in the city prison. 100 prisoners. whose crimes range from plain drunkenness to brutal murder, knelt in prayer when the earthquake of April IS shook the Hall of Justice from basement to tower top.
 Sin hardened men and women ap- pealed to God to spare them. Their prayers for deliverance came only aft CT 1t became apparent that the attend ants could do nothing for them. The earthquake had so twisted and warped the cell locks that not door could be opened for nearly an hour
 ''I never want to witness such sights again." said Prison Matron Ryan of the central station prison. who was on duty when the trembler came. There was something like eighty men and twenty-two women in the cells on the morning of the earthquake. In our de- pertinent there were abandoned crea- lures. charged with all manner of crimes, many of whom I deemed hope lessly lost.
 They cried and shrieked for mercy when the shock came and pleaded pitt fully for release. Not one cell could be opened. and when I advised my charges of this fact they knelt on the hard cement floor and offered up a fervent prayer in unison.
 ''In the department of the male pris- oners the conditions were the same. and many of the men attempted to de stroy their lives by battering their heads against the steel bars when they realized there was no chance for im- mediate release. They. too. prayed when the attendants in charge mansg- cd to get them calm enough. and when it was all over Ii was meek and hum ble hundred that we removed to the branch county jail"

last seasons favorites will be in the lime light this summer. They are Willard Dashiell who has been playing an important part in the prose version of "Parsifal" with con- spicuous success, Edith Crolius who has been with the BijosN ,Stock com pany in New Haven all winter and little Louise Le Blanc who has been making the hit of her short career as the soubrette of the Van Dyke Stock company of St Joseph, Mo. George Hoey who was easily the most affectionately esteemed member of the last seasons company, will be greatly missed by those who knew in- timately and always found pleasure in his scholarly attainments and his courtesy of the old school type. Mir Hoey is the director of the Fall River Stock company this summer.
 The leading male roles will be taken by Richard Gordon, young, capable and above all things hand some player who has been at the head of one of Henry Savages "Col- lege Widow" companies. Mir.

May 4.-while 1t is difficult 10 give eeact figures as to losses and insurance in connection with the fire which has devastated such a large portion of San Francisco. close estimates have been compiled. which show that the actual property loss to the city Is close to s359.OoaO00.
 A large proportion. if not the major ity. of the business men who were thankful during the counsgrstion that their vaiuahles were incIosed in fire proof vaults have wakened to an un- pleasant surprise. Within the last sev- enty-two hours 57e safes snd vaults have been opened in the district east of Powell and north of Market streets. and in not more than 60 per cent of these instances were the contents found intact In many cases q pile of ashes represented thousands of dollars worth of accounts.

 He has been playing with the Poli stock company in New Haven all winter and his work attracted great deal of favorable comment.

WASHINGTON. May 4.-The state ment is authoritatively made that the department of justice will immediately begin an investigation of the relations of the 90 called oil trust and number of railroads with view of determin- ing whether there have been violations of the anti-rebate law.
 The basis for this investigation win be the information recently submitted to the president in a report of Com missioner Garfield of the bureau of cor porations. which Is soon to be made public. This report. 1t is learned, deals only with the subject of rebates and does not go into the questions of viola tons of the antitrust law.
 If it Is found that rebates have been given by the railroads and accepted by the % called oil trust steps will be at once taken. 1t is asserted, to bring the matter before the grand juries in the localities where the alleged viola tons took place. with view to prcs~- cutions In the courts. It Is not thought that the department of justice In scr dBctinx it's inquiries will require iie services Of any one outside of the d. partment proper and the United sfHif- attorneys and other of-scerr under fts immediate direction.

 During the session President Mitchell made a statement. in the course of which he used the word strike for the first time since the present negotia- tions began. He said:
 'srhe sentiment seems very strong against accepting the conditions and restricted arbitration scheme proposed by the operators or renewing the award of the anthracite strike commis- sIon for three years.
