A "BLACK CLOUD"

The Republican politicians are
worrying considerably over the
negro members of their party. A
negro speaker at the tenth annual
meeting of the Afro American coun-
Gil in Baltimore said: "There are
about 700, 900 negro voters in this
country, and we intend to force
the president to do the right thing
by us or turn the whole into a
democratic party" The Washing
ton correspondent for the New
York Times declares that the negro
revolt has not been over-estimated.
This correspondent says that but
for the fear of the negro vote the
Kentucky republican convention
would have endorsed Secretary
Taft. The Times correspondent
adds: "The resolution demanding
Roosevelt type of president is
the one drawn up in the White
House itself for conventions oil

combination would have stopped it
il they could. There is that much
evidence, then, for the claim Of the
Taft men that they controlled the
Kentucky convention. But con-
trolling it, they could not obtain a
specific Taft endorsement, because
their Kentucky republican friends
feared the effect on the negro re-
publican vote. Kentucky, unlike
most OF the southern states, has a
negro vote. So have her border
sisters, Maryland and West Vir.

SAD CASE OF Mr.. VAN HiSE

Science, although the friend Of
man, occasionally appears to be I'M
kind to the individual and to crush
him under foot.
Mr.. James Van Hise of Newark,
N. j., feels that he is a victim Of
electrical development, for it is
about to put him out of job which
his father and grandfather held be.
fore him.
Mr.. Van Hise has held the posi-
ton Of public executioner in his
native state, and during his profess
sional career he has ofliciated at the
final departure from this mundane
sphere Of no less than seventy-five
persons, two Of whom were women

New Jersey has adopted the new

BE AN OPTlMIST.

These are the days when we
should forget care and trouble and
be optimistic. The harvest in Ida
no County has been colossal. We
offer no panacea for any i'll, but
persuade ourself that in this coun-
ty whose wonderful resources are
scarcely touched, there is oppOr.
tunity for every man able and will
ing to work. The capable, the
provident and honest toiler will
succeed; while the incapable and
wasteful man will be unsuccessful.
Idaho as a state offers in every
section of it's fertile valleys; on
every plain; beside it's crystal
mountain streams and upon the
timbered crags of the Bitter Root
Range, wealth untOld,-to those
who will come and are willing to
work for its production. We have
the most fruitful soil upon which
the sunlight falls and one of the
richest countries in natural re-
sources in the state. We could
support ten times our present pcpu-
lation and still live in comfort.
No industrial ills today appear on
our horizon, no idleness abounds
and the products Of our farms
command good price. Our wheat
took first prize at the lewiston
Charleston fair and the Salmon
river fruit was pronounced the
equal Of any fruit of the Pacific
Coast. Idaho is growing. Al
ready the east is alarmed and has
fear Of her future in every field OF
industry. The people of the Unit
ed States are looking to the West
the winsome West-for the dawn
of that age when true happiness
shall reign supreme and all author.
ity rest in the hands of the com.
mon people. The west, and the
children of the west will yet lead
the world in business, art, science
religion and law, will guide the
people up and on to the glories Of
a grander day. Let us awake and
pull together. Let us help usher
in the dawn of that age, which
will some day be felt across tn.
oceans brine.

The Future.
Why Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted
ordinary colds and recovered from
them without Treatments of any
kind, DO not for q moment imagine
that colds are not dangerous.
Everyone knows that pneumonia
and chronic catarrh lave their orr.
gin in a common cold. Consump.
ton is not caused by cold but b,
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise
have found Judgment. 1t is the
same with all infectious disea ses.
Diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles
and whooping cough are much
more likely to be contracted when
the child has a cold. You will see
from this that more real danger
turks in a cold than in any other
Of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure a
cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable
cures effected by this preparation
have made it a staple article o

WHY NOT FROM HERE?

According to press dispatches
the people of southern Idaho are
doing highly profitable business
buying horses for the eastern
Washington market, and several
carloads of draft horses have been
shipped from Caldwell to North
Yakima. There should be a prof.
table opening on Camas prairie for
that business, for our people have
the stock and are much nearer the
market than any Of the southern
Idaho points.

IS A GREAT CAMP
Elk City Going to be Hummer
In Another Year or Two.
IS MIGHTY LIVELY THERE
Has Daily Pay Roll OF More
Than $500.

S. w. Litchfeld, Of Elk City,
passed through Grangeville Mon
day on his way to Lewiston where
he has business inter ests that re-
qnire bis attention. Mr.. Litch-
field was born and raised in Elk
City and experiences considerable
satisfaction in seeing it awaken
from a quiet little mining camp to
one OF the liveliest and most talk
ed OF places in the mineral zone OF
North Idaho. Ever since the
Bradley people showed their conf
dence in the district by the pur-
chase OF the Cluster" at half a
million, things have been moving
rapidly in the camp and great
wave of prosperity has shaken the
shell from the town, which is now
one OF the liveliest youngsters"
in the west.
$500 Pay Roll
1t is reported the Cluster"
people alone are paying out in the
neighborhood of $500 day and
that money is SO plentiful in the
town they don't know what to do
with it. All the merchants are
making money and every line OF
business is doing we'll.
Building Boom
This fall has marked the begin.
ming of a big building boom. The
two hotels have been enlarged and
it is now the boast of town
that hotel accommodations equal to
those afforded by much larger
cities may be had in Elk. The
Hotel Parr, always popular, and
the Elk Hotel, are the temporary
homes Of many capitalists and
mining men going in and out Of
the camp.
Has Its Paper, Too
No live town is complete with
out it's newspaper and Elk City,
being in the list OF the live ones,
has it's weekly newspaper filled tt
the brim with news of the camp
such is the Mining News, publish
ed by George f. Hamilton. Mr.
Hamilton came from Waterloo
Iowa, and had faith enough in tn,
future Of Elk City to take ,
chance. From present indications
is looks as though his judgmen
was mighty sound.
Work on Road.
WORK on the Elk City Wagon
road has been completed to within
fifteen miles of the camp and re
ports say with the completion o
the improvements, getting in an,
out OF the camp will not be as tie
dious a trip as formerly. The tel
stamp mill being erected by Brad
ley will soon be in position an
real mining will begin in ie,
weeks.
The Future.
There is no getting around tn
fact Of Elk City being a mimi
camp and great one, too. Th
day is not far distant when
through the publicity given tn
, county by the opening of the Ell
City district. our vast mineral re
sources will become known to tn
outside world and bring in the il
flux of capital necessary to uncove
natures riches which here exist.
