! Dr. Heer has many friends and IS an all
around good fellow, and if nominated
will be elected by handsome majority.
He is a sure winner.
l.. b. Collins Of Homedale is in with a
load Of fine watermellons that he raised
on his ranch near the Mussel Ferry on
Snake river He reports good progress
in the promotion Of the irrigation project
to water that portion Of the valley. The
people Of Homedale are in need OF better
roads and more of them.
We often wonder why John Miller
has such far-away look and melancholy
expression at times since-a well since
some time past Never mind, John, we
will try and have Uncle Sam hurry up
the mail service little, especially be-
tween Minneapolis and Silver City.
There will be a grand ball at the lower
Masonic hall in Silver City, on next Mon
day evening. A first and second prize
will be given for the best walters. The
Jefery orchestra has been secured and
there Il be hot time in the old town"
on next Monday evening Come to Silver
for the Labor Day dance and have good
time.
We are pleased to note that Mr.. John
Lamb has been honored by being nomin-
ated as one Of the presidential electors at
the republican state convention held at
Boise this week While we are pleased
that Nr. Lamb should receive this honor,
we are sorry that he is on the ticket that
we hope to see defeated.
Hon. Burton L. French was turned
down by the republican state convention
and Thomas r. Hamer, of Fremont coun-
ty was nominated for congressman. Nr.
French was supposed to have no opposi-
ton until the Hblack hand of the bosses
made its appearance and then it was all
off with Burt. Such is political life.
Gov. Gooding had the foresight to be
called away on business so as to be absent
during the republican state convention.
He must have excellent olfactory nerves,
as he undoubtedly Fsmelled a rat and
made good getaway. The dose prepar-
ed for him had to be used as it would
not keep, (being worse than 'tPettibone
dope" SO the Statesman was made the
victim.
On last Sunday evening the citizens Of
Silver City were somewhat startled by
hearing rumbling noise, apparently
coming from the head of Long Gulch.
As this gulch runs through the principle
part Of the city, and the Nugget building
is located right in the bottom of the gulch,
the stream running under the building,
and we had been reading the accounts Of
the terrible disasters that had overtaken
some of the cities in the southern part oi
the country by water-spouts, oyerhowine
OF rivers etc, we were. getting pretty
anxious. On looking towards the sky,
no clouds could be seen, and that theory
had to be abandoned. Had it been q
years ago, the citizens would have at once
rushed to arms and prepare to repulse al
outbreak from the Indians; but at last
party came dashing down the gulch anC
reported that portion of Ringing Bros
circus had apparently gone astray anC
was coming down the road. The mystery
was soon solved, however, when a vehicle
came into view at turn of the road
bearing the long lost and sadly missed
"Skidoo'' fishing party. Talk about th,
grand parade of the Barnnm & Bailey
circus They had it done to a hare
boiled finish. Dressed in the latest style
from the far-famed popular fashions 0
Boulder, with hats that would lay in tn,
shade the latest models from Paris anC
New York, they presented an awe
inspiring sight. Jack Wards attire at
tracted particular attention, it being .
cross between the costume of clown anc
sheath gown. They were all well anC
happy, having had an enjoyable time anC
The usual fisherman luck. If you wan
to have the time of your life, get initiated
into the inner circle" of the "Skidoc
club and join one of their fishing parties
