Mr.. Stearns Here

"A. Stearns was here from Oakland
last week on his way to Denver to at
tend the Elks' convention. He is q
friend OF MI. r. A. Sweet, and son-in-law
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Il. 0. Church. When
we met him, he responded, "Yes sir, l
am from the stricken city. The city
that was, but which is now down and
outshy. know your cousin Joe who
works on the Examiner. We belong to
the same revolver club, and we worked
together in the rescue Of the sufferers.
You folks who we're not there can form
no idea Of our helplessness for long
period after the beginning Of the trou-
bles. We had to lay hold Of the injured
and carry them; dress their wounds;
quench their thirst; satisfy hunger; then
we had to do it all over again, and keep
on doing it. When all the food was used
up, you don't know how gratifying it
was to learn that another trainload had
arrived. 1t just kept coming from un.
expected sources and in such lavish
quantities, we were overcome with graft
tude to all our fellow w-men. and now as /
look about in the different cities snd
towns and remember how they hurried
carload after carload to our relief, ! love
the very ground they walk on. Yon
who were at safe distance cannot
realize what happened, and probably
get tired Of hearing about it, but to US
who went through it all, it has become
so imbedded in our lives that we can
never dismiss it.

Republican Politics

Even outsiders were greatly interested
in the Republican primaries held yester-
day, as it was contest between what is
generally known as the '.Old Ring" and
the "Young Republicans" The "Old
Ring" for years controlled the Republi-
can politics of this county, and though
they have been defeated in Bingham
this time, its members still maintain
that their power in the state is not les
sened. On the contrary the "Young
Republicans" too, claim to be gaining
the control.
This alignment extends throughout
the state, and though the factions have
different names in the different locali-
ties, the issue is in reality the same.
At the primaries in this county no
fight was made on Gooding, the scrap
being on the United States senatorial
question and district judge Idaho Falls
Post.
