In the year 1880 the rate of
divorces granted in Utah aver
ed ia to the 100000 population;
in Wyoming, Ill; in Nevada,
1O6; and in Idaho, So. In 1900
the ratios were as follows: Utah,
81 in 100000 population; Wyo-
ming, 118; Nevada, Ill; Idaho,
120. The figures show that the
percentage of divorces in 1880
was the highest in Utah and low
est in Idaho, but in 1900 it was
lowest in Utah and highest in
Idaho, of the four intermountain
states compared. The highest
percentage of divorces in any
state in 1900 was in Colorado,
1853 to each 100000 popuation,
and lowest in Delaware at 16.
D. L. Lakey, of this place had
an experience in the North Fork
country last Sunday which comes
to but few hunters in life time.
He was returning from the Little
North Fork country and had
reached point about four miles
from the Hibb's ranch, when he
heard a noise like some one work.
ing in the timber. But as he
walked along the main trail which
led him in the direction of the
strange sounds he soon realized
that there was something doing
and that it was not wood chop
ping. On following the sound a
little farther he came upon two
large Buck deer, engaged in
deadly encounter. After watch
ing them for some time he de-
cided to take a hand in the fight.
Taking careful aim at one of the
big fellows he fired, and to his
surprise both deer fell dead, kill
ed by the single shot. The deer
were brought to Orofino by Mr..
Lakey and weighed 130 and 13E
pounds. Mr.. Lakey is but ar
amateur hunter, but is a deac
shot, and is justly proud of his
recent adventure. .-Orofno Trib-

A delegation of Northern Pa

of Vice President Hannaford,
General Manager Mutt, Western
Freight Agent Blakeley, General
Passenger Agent Charlton, Di-
vision Engineer Beamer, Mr..
Parker and General Agent w. j.
Jordon, of Lewiston, spent a few
minutes in our city yesterday
shortly before noon. The Off
cials came through on a special
train consisting of the engine,
baggage car and two private cars
and were making an inspection
of the prairie line prior to it's
being turned over to the traffic
department.
The train stopped at the depot
here for about fifteen minutes
while the officials took a short
walk around town. They ex-
pressed surprise at the nice
growth made since the fire and
predicted bright future for the
town. When asked regarding
the train service over the prairie
road they stated that trains
would probably be run the first
of next week and that the regu-
lar schedule would be in force
about Wednesday, Dec. 9th.
After their stop here the off
cials went on to Grangeville and
returned in time to make connec-
tions with the Spokane bound
train at Spalding in the after
noon.

Soon Move Into New Store.

J. w. Pulliam left the first of
the week for Spokane to order a
large line of new goods for his
store and expects to move the
store into the new building oppo-
site the old Cottonwood House in
about ten days. When the new
stock arrives the store will be
one of the largest on the prairie
and the owners intend to make
it eventually one of the best
stores this side of Lewiston. By
selling their goods at a very
small margin of profit they aim
to draw trade from a very large
territory of country and by
doubling their trade will still
come out at the end of the year
with sufficient profit to justify
being in business. The new
store will be fitted up in gooc
shape to carry their large line oi
goods and later better and larger
quarters may be secured.
Mr.. E. L. Parker, a member
of the firm, came over this weel
from Nezperce to remain perma
nently and will send for hi
family just as soon as he can Sc
cure a suitable residence fol
them.

Questions To Mail Order Buyers


(We have been requested to
publish the following article
from the pen Of one Of our neigh
boring townsmen in hopes that
some of the people who are in
the habit of sending off for their
goods may be made to see the
error of their way. Ed
Stop minute, Mr.. Mail Order
Man, and answer a few of the
following questions before you
send off that next order for goods
to Sears, Roebuck or Montgomery
Ward & Co. Do you think you
are doing justice to yourself and
your community by sending away
for what you need? Does your
mail order house pay any taxes
here and thus make your own
taxes lighter? Does your mail
order house help to support your
schools, your churches, help edu-
cate your children, or build,
work and help keep up your
county roads? If you want do
nations for the poor, or to help
in the advancement of some pro-
ject in your community of mate
rial benefit to yourself do you 60
to your mail order house for it?
Rather, don't you ask your local
merchant for aid and if he
should ever turn you down
wouldn't you call him tight
wad" for the rest of his days?
Does your mail order house take
your eggs, butter and other pro-
duce and pay you a good price
for it? If you happen to have
bad luck with your crops do you
ask your mail order house for
credit? Rather, do you not have
your local merchant carry you on
his books for a year or two, even
after sending away for all your
necessities? Who keeps up the
price of your farm property. Is
it not worth a great deal more
when located near some thriving
town? If all were to follow
your style and send off for their
goods how long would we have
any towns here. Figure in
freight and express charges and
then see if the little you save by
sending away makes it really
worth while. If your farm is
worth $1,000 or $4,000 more by
being near a good town figure up
how long it would take to save
that amount by sending off for
your goods. You make your liv-
ing here so why not spend your
money here. If you want to
build up Chicago and New York
why not go there to make your
money.
Now, to get down to brass
tacks, instead of sending away
for what you need, make out
your order and take it to your
local dealer with the cash and
see if he cannot duplicate your
mail order house prices. Fur
thermore, you see the goods you
are buying, you don't have to
! wait a month for them, and the
merchant stands ready to replace
any thst are not found to be as
represented. You cannot expect
him to sell you a few articles on
long credit at low prices but give
him large order, the same as
you send away, and pay cash
and you will find you cannot af-
ford to trade away from home.

VOTERS FAVOR DUNNE
Independent Clubs Informal Di-
rect Primary IndorSes Jurist +.

AS a result of the informal direct
primary in the thirty-ninth district,
Superior Judge Dunno stands revealed
as the first chioce of the members of
the Independent club for a place on the
republican ticket But the delegates
from the thirty ninth district who will
sit in the local convention have refused
to indorse Dunno because he is a demo-
crat.
Some time ago the members of the
Independent club of the thirty-ninth
were requested to signify their choice
for superior judges by postal card. The
cards were addressed to Robert w.
Roberts, secretary of the delegation.
Cards were returned to the total of
40. and on lis of these the name of
Judge Dunno headed the list of can
didates. Judges Sturtevant and Hunt
were also the choice of the majority of
the delegates. but they did not receive
nearly as many votes as Dunno. Judge
Cook is evidently unpopular in the club
for the members overlooked him.
The delegates passed resolutions in
dorsing Sturtevant and Hunt, but they
have not indorsed Dunno and do not in

Republican Nominee Declares
Guarantee of Deposits Would
Increase Speculation
Bourbon Proposal Is Shown to
Put Premium on Reckless
Dealings With Funds

HOT SPRINGS. Va, Aug. 26.-"It
puts a premium on reckless banking
and is an inducement to reckless bank
ing.
Thus did Judge Taft this afternoon,
I'm response TO a direct question, state
what is. in his opinion, the vital OBJ
lection to the democratic plan to guar
antee deposits in national banks.
That is the fundamental objection, -
he said. Relieved of the RESPONSE
bility to and the fear of depositors, the
tendency would be 10 induce exploita-
ton, manipulation, and the use of as
sets of banks in a speculative way. 1t
would promote speculation at the ex-
pense of his fellow bankers and that
ultimately means at the expense of the
depositors.
ANY proposition as to the amount
OF the tax that should be assessed as
based on the present rate of loss, is on
an erroneous basis. Gas the danger of
loss Of deposits is increased vastly by
the proposed system. so that the per-
centage Of the tax would have to be
vastly increased"

liam j. Bryan, as that of today when
the democratic candidate stopped over
10 greet his old friends and neighbors:
Bryan divided most of his time with
the Bryan and Jennings branches of
his family. After luncheon he rode out
TO the cemetery and placed flowers on
the graves of his parents, and on his
way back to the city inspected the new
Bryan Bennett library, presented by
himself and the late Philo S. Bennett
Of Connecticut
Bryan held receptions at the court
house. hotel and railroad station,
where the people fought their way to
get near him. While he was talking
the crowd made up a purse of $500 and
handed it to him as a campaign con-
tribution. A check for $100 also was
given by a man from Clinton county.
Theodore A. Bell of California, chair
man of the Kern notification commit
tee who accompanied Bryan here, made
a speech in which he compared the
platforms of the two dominant parties.
Bryan said, in part:
Y ou know it would be very hard for
me to make political speech in Salem,
because good many of my earlier ac-
quaintanceS here We're republicans, and
I would not for the world say anything
that would hurt the feelings of any re-
publican friend.
There are certain things that come
naturally by descent, and reforms come
by descent. You cannot convey a re-
form by viii. The president has tried
TO bequeath certain reforms to the re-
publican candidate, but 1 am the next
OF blood of the reform business, and
they come to me. In fact think 1
could make it stronger than that.
IF a man dies and leaves no chill
dren. the property goes back to his
parents, and so far as reforms are con-
cerned, the republican party has died
without heirs and the reforms go back
to the one from whom the republican
party got the reforms.
SO I think l have a right to expect
a good many republican votes this
year Then. my friends. 1 am expect
ing large additions to the democratic
vote because the times are ripe for
