publican votes in the last legislature
outside of any planks in our platform
some Of the best laws that were ever
enacted on the statute books of Idaho.
Il was during the last legislature, am
now, and always have been, in favor of
a direct primary law, and sincerely
hope that the Republican platform in
the coming campaign will have spe-
cifie plank in il fayorng the passage of
such a law. and furthermore. if nomin-
ated and elected governor of this state,
whether or not such a plank is in the
platform ! shall reeomend in my mes
sage that such a law be passed. and use
my best endeayors To have the same
placed upon the statute books.
Il cannot conceive of man seeking
the position of chief executive of this
state for any other purpose than the
honor that the office eonfers, and | can
not conceive of any honor aeeruing nor
any satisfaction To any man in holding
the same IL he has secured il by means
of what is called machine politics or any
other method that places him in the po.
sition without free and fair expression
of all the members Of his party. and
say without hesitation that would
much prefer that every Republican in
the state Of Idaho should go into the
voting booth alone, free from any in
tluence whatever. and say whether or
not they desired me to be their standard
bearer. and assure you that ! would be
entirely satisfied with the verdict Of the
Republicans Of this state reached in
that manner.
In conclusion ! wish 10 say that |
thank you for the many kindnesses that
you have bestowed upon me both in the
past and present. Bingham county and
Fremont county by instrueting their
delegations in my favor have given us
a neighborly God-speed in the work that
We have undertaken. and if the state
convention should choose another for
yor standard bearer. We shall always
feel pardonable pride in the fact tina,
our neighbors. and those who Know ua
best. have been the first and iirmest. in
expressing their wishes in the choice OF
their executive.
And when you all return 90 youi
homes among the mountains aud I'M the
valleys. want you to take oyour fam.
iliea and your friends my kindiicst greet
ings. and 20 say To them for me that il
the rest Of the state should approve
your choice and am elected To this
high office. that shall strive at all
times TO serve my state faithfully and
well, ard shall hope 10 be able to give
such an account Of my official acts al
the close of my labors. that the people
Of this state shall have no cause TO re
gret their action IN selecting me a'
their standard bearer.

HEAVY VOTE AT
PRIMARY MONDAY
More Votes Cast Than at Last
General Election.
l86 Votes Cast as Against 1T by All
Parties Two Years Ago--Contest
Waged With Vigor From OPP
ening Of the Polls.

The Republican primary Monday drew
out larger vote than was ever cast in
American Falls. One hundred and
eighty-sia votes were polled, as against
total of III cast by all parties at the
election two years ago. There are
f probably $50 Republican votes here,
which shows in an unmistakable way
+ the development that has taken place.
The primary was called for two
O'Clock. but it was probably 2:l5 before
/ it was called to order. Wilford Ben
nion was elected chairman; Don v.
Runnion and James Clifford, clerks; j..
j. Sorenson and Charles Mower, judges.
Caucus nominations and the closing
of them after seven had been named
brought out the only discussion Of the
caucus. Benjamin Howell was not in
I favor of nominations, but motion 10
name delegates carried. o. H. Barber,
{ j. J. Sorenson, Charles Allen, Charles
johnson, j. l.. McKown, Benjamin How
/ ell and William Barnbart were nomin-
ated. George w. Stanger was placed in
nomination but the question of his polit-
ical affiliatlon at the last election was
raised, and before this was decided, w.
A. johnson moved that nominations be
closed. The motion was seconded by j.
/ H. Creighton. Mr.. Howell protested
that nominations could not be closed as
/ long as anyone had name which he
desired to propose, but the chair ruled
Z that such matters were in the hands of
the caucus, and the motion was carried.
A motion was made and adopted that
the five receiving the highest votes be
given credentials as delegates. and the
next FIVE as alternates.
A motion was made and carried that
tickets be printed containing the names
of the seven nominees, with blank
spaces for the writing in of other names
if votersSso desired, and a recess was
taken until the tickets could be printed.
The first vote was cast after three
O'Clock, but from that time until the
polls closed there was little luli.
While the caucus ticket was being
printed typewriters were at work pre-
pairing another ticket. The day being
very disagreeable, carriages were pro-
vided by both parties for the ladies. and
a large number of ladies voted. The
typewriter ticket contained three
names that were on the caucus ticket,
Charles Allen. Benjamin Howell and
William Barnhart, with w B. Jacobs
and George W. Stanger. This ticket
appeared about $3.50, and from that time
on, friends of the caucus ticket confined
their efforts to electing the first five
named on the ticket, scratching the
names of Benjamin Howell and William
Rarnhart, which were on both tickets.
Charles Allen was on both tickets and
received within eight votes of the total
cast. The result was as follows:

Der, 1907 The report shows that
the number OF casualties on rail-
roads during that period was 49,
063, including 1889 killed and 2l,-
724 injured.
This is an increase Of 157 in the
number killed and 1856 In the num-
Der injured as compared with the
corresponding period Of 1906.
Collisions and derailments In the
quarter numbered 1859. including
2245 collisions and 2O34 derail-
ments, of which 800 collisions and
222 derailments affected passenger
trains. The damage to cars, engines
and roadway by these accidents
amounted to S3.G05.6g6. This shows
an increase In the number of collis-

DRAIN UPON THE FORESTS
They are Being Cut Three Times as
Fast as They Grow.


Since 1880 the sources of lumber
supply have undergone remarkable
changes. The first change was in
the regions from which the principal
KINDS OF lumber were procured, and
this was followed by the substitution
OF other kinds of wood in their plac-
es. Neither the centers of the lum-
Der industry nor the leading classes
OF woods are the same as they were
20 years ago. In 1880 nine States
Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin.
New York, Texas, Arkansas. Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, and Washington
produced 52.S per cent. or more than
half of the total lumber production
of the United States. In 1906 these
States produced Sis per cent. prac-
tically the same proportion, but the
changes which have taken place in
the output of individual states are
very striking. Michigan, for in
stance, cut % per cent of the total
in 1880 and but Sc per cent in 1906:
Louisiana cut OF per cent of the to-
tai in 1880 and 10 per cent in 1906;
Washington furnished but 0.9 per
cent of the total lumber production

DONNA TO AID STARVING
Assist Famine Stricken Peasants
of Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 2S.--An
additional appropriation for the
thousands of famine stricken peas
ants of Russia who are now on the
verge of starvation, is the most
pressing matter before the members
of the douma, who assembled today
after the long holiday vacation. This
is in addition to the appropriation
OF the s7,5OO,0OO, which was voted
by the douma before its recess, and
which, with a few local bills, rep
resented the entire legislative product
Of the first six weeks of the third
douma. This vast sum, double the
amount originally proposed in the
budget, was exhausted in only par
TALLY relieving the suffering in
twelve provinces. A large part of
the money was distributed through
the zemstves and other local organ
izations, as the Capitalization OF relief
work had previously resulted in grave
abuses. Reports from various prov
inces state that conditions are even
worse than ever and that an ad-
ditional appropriation is urgently
needed.
The 169 members of the first
douma, who were convicted Of trea-
sonable conduct in signing the viborg
manifesto, have appealed to the SEN
ate and will be given a final hearing
in the near future. Three months
Imprisonment for each of the con-
victed men was the sentence imposed,
but this apparently light punishment
is made severe by the fact that all
are prevented from taking any part
in political affairs in the future. 1t
is unlikely that the senate will inter-
fere with the execution of the SEN
tence

ing a judgment entered in the dis
trict court at the last term at Rath-
drum in the case of Mable Kidd VS..
Mack M. Kidd.
In this case the plaintiff, Mable

BOTTLE RIAIRoCK WATER
Cascade Bottling Works TO Introduce
the Same.

N~ NNNANA~a
C. C. Rafter, manager of lie Cas-
cade Bottling Works. hag closed a
deal with the Rimrock Water, Light
& Power Company, whereby the
company of which Rafter Is manager,
secures the exclusive right to handle
and sell bottled Rimrock water.
The water will be procured from
three springs situated about twelve
miles from the city at the foot of
the moIMltains. The water of these
springs bubbles right out OF the
grounds as clear as crystal
absolutely pure and is unlimited in
supply. 1t is the intention of the
company to use this water in the
manufacture of all soft drinks
to build up a trade among private
families, who desire water that Is
entirely devoid Of all impurity, and
also to vend it to all business estab-
lishments. whose business success is
dependent upon the use of a pure
grade of water.
The water will be hauled from the
springs to the company's works in
the city and bottled. The first wagon
will leave for a load OF 1t tomorrow
and the water will be placed ON the
market for sale as soon as the com
pany can make all the needed arrang-
ments. They expect to sell the water
at Ave cents per gallon.
The company feels that by the use
of this water In the manufacture OF
their soft drinks they will be enabled
to put on the market drinks that are
entirely pure and superior to any
made. They also feel assured that
there will be in the city a great de-
mand for a water which can BIZ
vouched for as being pure in every
respect, and expect to build up a
large trade in the city and to also
successfully dispose of their product
in adjoining towns.
