VISIT FROM A STATE OFFICER

popular official, and one whom the
people find desirable to retain in
Office.
With the division of Kootenai
county, Mr.. Bragaw beanie citi-
zen of Bonner county, as resident
of Priest River, so that the new
county of Bonner has state officer
to its credit.
Mr. Brsgaw has gained a great
deal of prominence by his stand as
a member of the state board of
equalization, and it was through.
his efforts largely that nearly three
million dollars worth of sheep were
added to the tax rolls, compelling
southern counties to pay more
equitable share of the state bur
den. Mr.. Bragraw is not gallery
player. While voting to raise the
railroad valuations, he believed
that the sheep barons should pay
their share also.
The people of Bonner county will
be interested in seeing Mr.. Bragaw
retained at Boise in an official ca
pacity. 1t is splendid thing for
any county to have a state officer.
Their influence can often be ex-
erted in many ways for the benefit
of their constituents. The writer
hereof had this fact demonstrated
to him in practical way last win
ter, as Mr.. Bragaw's wide acquaint-
ance as state officer enabled him
in many ways to assist the repre-
sentatives from this county in their
work.
We understand that our present
state auditor is not averse to the
proposition to make him state treas
uref. Here at Boomers Ferry the
idea is unanimously endorsed, and
we believe it will meet with hearty
approval throughout Bonner coun-
ty and the north.
Mr.. Bragaw is also visiting
friends at Standpoint and Priest
River, and in towns of Kootenai,
before his return. He is accom-
panied by Mrs. Bragaw and they
were the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. S.
I'd. Taylor while here. Mrs. Bra
graw remained over until today.

Senator Borah has borne a SPLEEN

citizenship. He is idolized by the
younger element of the Republican

of the last legislature which elected

State Auditor Robt. S. Bragaw a
Bonners Ferry Visitor

Hon. Robert s. Bragaw, state
auditor, arrived in the city last
Saturday evening and remained
until Tuesday. His visit was of a
social nature. Mr.. Bragaw came
up from the capital to assist in the
organization of the Republicans of
Bonner county, and improved the
opportunity to take weH-earned
vacation and visit old friends, and
he has host of them here in his
home county, where he has been a
resident so long.
Mr.. Bragaw was auditor of Koo-
tenai county for fourteen years and
in those days knew nearly every
man, woman and child within its
magnificent boundaries. He held
the position until the Fusion party
swept the Republicans out of pow
er, when he was appointed super
visor of the Priest River Forest
Reserve. He then moved to Priest
River, where he resided for six
years, and which place he still
claims as his home, although, Of
course, his official residence is at
the capital. He was elected state
auditor while serving as forest su-
pervisor. One year ago he was
unanimously renominated and was
re elected, and is now rounding out
his second term. He has bad re-
markably successful career, due to
his efficiency and personal popular
ity.
His office is Systematically and
accurately conducted, and no one
ever writes the state auditor a letter
who does not get prompt reply.
In the state capitol he will be found
punctually attending to business in
the front room of his Office. A Wis
itor does not have to run thegaunt-
let of a line Of clerks to a private
office in the rear in order to reach
State Auditor Bragaw.
These characteristics, and others
of similar nature, make him a

THE B0RAH TRIAL
Ruick Accused of Intimidating Grand Jury and
Other Sensational Reports

Great interest centers in the trial
of Senator Borah, which is called
in the U. s. court at Boise for next
Monday. This is a sensational
case throughout. 1t was sensa-
ton that tie senator had been in
dicted for alleged complioity in
south Idaho land frauds, and now
comes further sensations, by reason
of the fact that three of the grand
jurors who found the indictment
have filed affidavits to the effect
that they were forced into agreeing
to the indictment by intimidating
tactics of U. S. District Attorney
Ruick. 1t is reported that others
of that jury will corroborate these
aflidavits.
A special grand jury has been
called and met in Boise on Wednes-
day. Whether this jury is to in
vestigate the acts of Mr.. Ruick, or

Railroad Rates to Interstate Fair

Beginning Sept 81 and contin-
uing until Oct. 2, tickets from all
points in the Inland Empire will
be on sale at the different railroad
offices at the rate of fare and a
third for the round trip to Spokane.
These tickets will bear return
limit of Oct. 8. This rate will APP
ply on the Northern Pacific, o. r
d NJ, Great Northern, Spokane In
ternational and Spokane & Inland.
In addition to this rate, a special
rate of one fare for the round trip
will be made on all the roads on
certain days, the dates 30 far an
nounced being as follows: Great
Northern, Sept. 80; S. F. & N,
Sept. 26; 0. r. & N, Sept. %; Spo-
kane & Inland, Sept. 26, and pos
sibly one or two other days. The
special rates on the Spokane Inter-
national and the Northern Pacific
have not yet been announced.
The railroad rates this year are
exceptionally good, and the fact
that during the past year great
deal of new territory adjacent to
Spokane has been opened up will
have tendency to swell the crowd
of visitors to the fair.
Ample provision has been made
by the management of the fair to
take care of the crowds, a new adj
dition having been built to the
grand stand and new entrances
have been erected. The fair this
year certainly promises to be the
biggest and best ever"

The weakness in the stock market which de-
veloped last week and ended in a general smash In
prices on Saturday, continued at the outset of the
trading yesterday. \ number of stocks made new
low records for the year during the first half hour
although with a few exceptions they rallied before
the close. Heavy foreign selling of American Sc
curites, a further reduction of the price of cop
per on the Metal Exchange, and another drop in
the price of silveT aided the bears in the coninu
alton OF their raid on the market
After the first hour, however, there was sharp
recovery, running from TO points in such stocks
as Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. Northern
Pacific and St. Paul. The upturn attributed
to individual supporting orders by financial inter
ests identified with some of the standard issues
The resistance from this source caused general
covering of shorts. and most Of the stocks recov-
cred their earlier losses, although the market con-
