LANCASTER THE RIGHT MAN

1T is with great pleasure that
the Wallace Miner hears the name
Of Henry N. Lancaster Of this city
mentioned for the Office Of surveyor
general which, it is understood, is
about to be vacated by Mr.. Eagle
son. The petition backing Mr..
Lancaster has been endorsed by
many Of the leading mining men
and engineers Of the northern part
Of the state.
There is no necessity for the
Miner to dilate upon Mr.. Lancas-
ter's qualifications for the Office. A
graduate Of the University Of Idaho
and. extensively experienced in
mining and all other branches Of
his business, Mr.. Lancaster has
already built Up an enviable repu-
tation. As city engineer he was
the only man who ever held the
Office who placed that section Of
the municipal administration on. .
business basis. !
Fully IS per cent Of the business
OF the surveyor generals Office is
contributed BY the mining industry
Of this section and it is only fair to
the people Of the northern part of
the state that Mr.. Lancaster's can
didacy should carry more than the
usual weight.

The splendid manner in which

Just what do the critics mean BY
the phrase speak for yourself
as applied to Taft? Do they mean
that he should overlook opportun.

Roosevelt is honest, highminded

In a recent letter Governor John

GREAT IS THE DISTRICT

The Miner has constantly called
upon the residents of this section
and its thousands OF. readers who
live outside the state, all of whom
are interested in the Occur d'Alenes,
to look forward to an early resump-
ton Of activities here. There were
many who predicted a complete
close down Of all mines and long
tie up. This theory was never held
by the Miner. On the contrary
we have consistently looked on the
brighter side and the value Of our
opinions, not reached by haphazard,
but BY q careful study Of conditions
and a thorough knowledge Of the
views of many Of the most promin-
ent operators in the ditrict, is
demonstrated.
With mines resuming full
blast'' and crews being put to work
at prospects where single man
was heretofore employed the pros
pect is even brighter than in our
optimistic mood we dared to pre-
dict. In another month the hum
Of activity will put the pessimist TO
shame and the news from the
Occur d'Alene district will once
more commence to make investors
in mining stocks happy and month
by month our oft repeated faith in
the district will be borne out by
strikes Of ore in different sections
and general increase in the values
Of shares in all Occur d'Alene
properties.

CANDIDATES ARE NUMEROUS

The question Of the new governor
Tor the state OF Idaho is already
beginning to disturb the 'local
atmosphere. There is a feelina
: extant that the air is charged with
electricity and soon the campaign
will be with Us in all its force. It
Is not the purpose Of the Miner to
attempt to predict the next holder
Of this Office at the present time
but it is nevertheless interesting to
note the possibilities.
A<A -
Many names have been men,
toned for this Office but the new
governor will probably be chosen
rom among the following; B.
O'Neil, James H. Brady, Lieut..
Gov. Burrell, George w. Thomp-
son of Lewiston and c. L. Heitman.
q All Of these men are well known
throughout the state and all are
stepped to the eyes in matters
political. Brady = name has been
mentioned as a senatorial POSSIBLE
ity while Lieutenant Governor
Burrell il said to have~a partiality
for the congressional honor.
It is hard to say just who will
receive the nomination but one
thing is certain and that is that
there is an aggregation OF talent in
the running that will make the
republican state central committee
do some pretty tall thinking in
order to place the crown on the
proper head.
We have, Of course our own views |
on the subject but the time is not |
ripe to air them.
The Office Of congressman is also
likely to be holly contested and in
addition to Lieutenant Governor
Burrell, Colonel Hamer Of Fremont
county, Hon. Joseph P. Fallon OF
Kootenai and Major Fred R. Reed
are out after the nomination. All
Of these candidates appear to have
acquired considerable momentum.
Mr.. Fallon is meeting with enthus-
iastic support both in Kootenai and
in Bonner county and is not by any
means destitute Of supporters iii
this county, while Colonel Hamer
appears to have an organized boom
in the southeastern section Of the
state. In addition to all this
Burton L. French does not appear
to be altogether averse to the idea
OF succeeding himself and SO the
coming convention will not be
without interest.
As in the past, SO in the future
the nomination in republican con-
vention will be paramount to
election.

the counties in the state was
allowed to accumulate from year to
wear until at that date many OF the
counties had a heavy and increas-
ing burden Of debt to carry. At
this time. however, an act was
passed demanding that all county
Indebtedness to the state be met
promptly on the first of the year
and providing that such counties as
were unable TO meet the whole of
this indebtedness at once might
pay of the arrears in ipstalments

been under republican admins.
tration with the result that the
passage Of this act was without
significance in this vicinity. The
whole OF the arrears Of debt prior
to 1905 were met at once and ever
since that time the state taxes have
been met without the necessity Of
any special levies.
And now, Oh We Of democratic
faith, whose financial wallowings Of
1893 nearly ruined the whole coun-
try, wherein would ye improve the
OF affairs?

may consider itself amply protected
and in position to answer any state

district, makes prejudicious to the
policies Of the democrats or III be-

esteem it pleasure and privilege to
take an active part in presenting
the teachings Of the great republic

sible for bringing to our beloved
country the greatest measure of
prosperity ever enjoyed by any
land and under whose regime the
United States has been raised from
d position Of inferiority to its
present proud place as the greatest

The Miner has constantly asserted
and is fully confident that the dem
ocratic party has little to hope for
in the way Of political preferment
inthe county Of Shoshone or the
State Of Idaho yet we do feel that
the. party would be laboring under
an undue handicap if it had no
organ to present its doctrines and
expound its theories, fallacious as
We may consider them.

THE TIMES CONTROVERSY

The Miner notes with gratifica-
ton that the trouble which occ, rred
between The Times and the Typo
graphical union has been amicably
settled. While antagonistic to The
Times as far as politics is con-
cerned nothing but the most
friendly feelings have existed as far
as the business management was
concerned and the usual courtesies
between publishing offices have
been constantly exchanged,

game was played at Ferran's Park
and was witnessed by a big crowd of
Interested spectators, composed
mainly of DonaldsonVille partisans.
Hickey toed the slab for the locals
and pitched a suberb game, allowing
but five bingles and causing eight of
the hard-hitting druggists to fracture
the atmosphere. He was accorded ex-
cellent support, Brockman's poor
throw to first being the only miscue
chalked up in the Blues error column.
Lehner essayed to twirl for the Par
kerr Blakes, but was forced to retire
after yielding seven hits and three
runs in the first three innings. He
was replaced by Fiegel, who succeeded
in holding the Blues down to four hits
and one run during the remainder of
the game.
Stupid base running deprived the
Donaldsonyillians of at least two adj
ditional tallies, the offenders in this
respect being Dudley weber and Hig-
gins.
