When asked by your cores

tended to go to Idaho before con-
gress adjourns to contest with
DR.. Sleeves and Col. Hamer for
the nomination for congress, Mr..

ton and attend to my duties as
representative of the people of
Idaho. I am perfectly willing to
leave this matter where it be-
longs with the people of Idaho.
They know what l have done and
what have earnestly tried to do
for the good of Idaho, and if
they are willing to reelect me on
my record, will certainly appre-
ciate the great honor, and if
they are dissatisfied with me as
public servant, and my party
does not think that / deserve a
denomination on my record as a
public servant, there are plenty
of good men who are eminently
able to represent Idaho in con-
gress, and either Col. Hamer or
DIR. Sleeves would fill the posi-
ton with credit to himself and
honor to Idaho.
ITO properly discharge my
official duties, l must be in con-
stant attendance while congress
is in session. Since the beging-
ing of my first term Of service in

Pleased With Grant Goats.

In a letter to the Rural Northwest,
J. r. Barnette, manager Of the ella
County Angora Goat Company, says
81 must not close before / speak OF
the buck we purchased from U. s..
Grant, of Dallas, Oregon. I will not
attempt to describe him, as most Of
the readers of your paper know a
great deal more about the Grant
goats than I do, but l wish to say
that 1 never saw near so good a goat
as Ben Hur II, to be SO large as he is.
1--WE have goats in our herd that
represent strains from nearly all the
prominent breeders, some Of which
have feeces finer in fiber than our
Grant buck, but they are not half as
large. But we have none that COM
bine size, vigorous constitution,
weight, length Of fleece and ineness
of fiber as Ben Hur does. He seems
to be as happy in Arizona as he evil
IDENTIFY was in Oregon"

Carl A. Jaeger. the patient, was back
in bed, slowly coming out of the in
fiuence of the anaesthetic. At his
side sat the trained nurse, Miss Van
horn, with look of concern upon her
fair face, for the case was very grave.
Would the young mans temperature
slowly fall and recovery set in? Or
would his heart give out under the
tremendous strain of the ether and
the shock, and he pass away as a
tale that is told?
The young man stirred and moaned.
The nurse famed his forehead, bead
ed with cold drops of sweat He
moaned again. She watched him as
closely as cat watches mouse.
He slowly came back to conscious
ness.

The nurse gave him a spoonful of
hot water A full drink of the cold
water he craved might have meant
death just then. When he asked for
food he got a sip of milk, nothing

man slowly improved. Finally the

Cowan couldn't get away and 1t came
down to point of my going to Trini-

years and we didn't want to wait any
longer. But at first everything
seemed to go wrong.
When Mr.. Cowan sent for me first
l was too i'll to go. The second time
l couldn't make the Maraval. Then
he sent for me to come on the 9th of
August. but that made 1t too long.
So at last we arranged for this trip

going to give me away.
