many persons who have been in
line as his own supporters. AS a
matter of fact, Jones has conducted
his campaign or permitted to be
conducted in a way that he is most
thoroughly disgusting his own

uncommon thing to hear ardent re-
publicans say: Il hope some one

come from men of honor, integrity
and influence in the republican
party and men, too, who mean
what they say and who are not
given to saying anything derogatory
to the republican party or it's can

DEMOCRAT STATE
CENTRAL COMMITTEE

signation of Thomas NJ. Vance, OF
Olympia.
During the noon recess the var
ious districts held conferences al
which the selection of candidates
for the various state Offices was
taken up and arrangements fof
carrying on the campaign discuss
cd.
The real business of the commit
tee began with the afternoon scs-
sion, called to order at $50 o clock
when committees were appointed
to report on a plan of organization
and to provide the finances for the
state campaign.
During the noon recess Candi-
dates were informally discussed
but no ticket was framed up. Can
didates talked Of, however, include
for governor, \. J. Splawn, Naki
ma: John Pattison, Colfax, ". =.
keenland, Olympia and William
Blackman, Spokane. For United
States senator, Judge NJ. NJ. God
man, formerly of Colfax, now OF
Seattle; William Dunphy, of Walla
Walla, and O. G.. Ellis, of Tacoma
are talked Of. For congress
Maurice Longhornc, formerly OF
Lewis county, now of Tacoma: \
II. Garretson. of Tacoma; Dudley
G.. Wooten, Of Seattle, and II. J.
Snively, of North Yakima.
Albert l.. Schooley, of Chehalis,
is mentioned for land commissioner:
w. {. Jones, Of Spokane, and
Robert T.. Evans, of Tacoma, for
attorney general; Professor FL
drige Wheeler, of Montesano, for
superintendent of public instruc-
ton. A full ticket will be selected
during the afternoon, probably
every Office being represented bv
several candidates, who will at
once file their applications with the
secretary of state.
The main purpose of the meet
ing of the state democratic COM
committee, said George Wright
chairman, is to get together and
organize the state for combined
and universal effort to roll up a
good vote and carry the state for
Bryan. We believe right now the
democrats have better chance to
carry this state than they have ever
had before.
Conditions are such that the
intelligent voter will not be bound
down by strict party lines and,
though the state is republican bv
a considerable majority, yet when
it comes to the question of what is
for the best interests of the people
and of each individual voter, we
believe Bryan will be the man who
will get the votes.
Bryan is man of good sense
and judgment, amenable to reason
and honest. He may have some
ideas that are little in advance of
his time, but don't think ANYBODY
is afraid of his attempting to force
his personal theories upon the peo-
pie or to make any vicious attack
OH capital just because it is capital
He will be in favor of giving every
man a fair chance, and l think he
stands good show of being elect
ed.

THE great and notable campaign
of 1908 is upon us, and from a dis
tant view of the situation politi
cally we must naturally infer that
the battle will wax warm and war
be carried into Egypt. Both parties,
we anticipate, in county and state
will array what appears to be the
best material at hand for Candi
dates, it ought to be so, at any
rate let us all hope SO, and when
the war is over and victory is
perched on the banners of the
victors, let us all meekly submit to
the will of the majority and give a
hearty amen.

of the mountain seeking to tap the
ledge of the Tip Top mine. | have
known him we'll ever since that
date. He was a large strong man,
something over six feet tall and
weighed over two hundred pounds.
The greater portion of his life
was passed on the frontier among
frontier people. He was used to
the ways of the pioneer and met
all the demands of that class. He
had mined in northern California
and in Montana and Idaho, and
had prospected and worked in
nearly all the mining camps of the
north west. He had rubbed up
against the toughest types of from
tiersmen and had stood his ground
among them all under all condi-
tons. Nose Bollman knew no
fear either of man, beast or the
elements. He was an expert
woodsman and was at home in the
mountains far away from civilized
habitation and he was equally at
home on the boundless desert where
no form of bush or tree gladdens
the eye.
He had endured all kinds of
hardships and lived on the hardest
kind of fare, sometimes verging on
the point of starvation. He had
traversed the scorching sands of
the desert and suffered untold
agonies from the intense heat and
thirst. He had been caught in the
blizzard and he had lain out on
the snow and frozen his hands and
feet in zero weather. And while
these many hardships and expos
ures had brought on rheumatism
and disease that knotted his
muscles and enlarged his joints
with intense pain, his disposition
remained as serene as morning
sunshine.
He had lived nearly forty years
in Yakima and kittitas counties,
In the early history of the Yakima
country Bollman was fairly well-to-
do, and many all early settler was
indebted to his generosity and hos
pitality. He loaned his mich
COWS to needy families without
price or thought of reward, and
butchered his cattle and distributed
beef freely and with unsparing
hand. None were ever turned
away from his door without assist
ance and that to the extent of his
power.
The times and conditions sur
rounding him for half century
made him a rough, rugged man,
not fitted for the parlor of the four
hundred, but eminently qualified
to succor, sustain and encourage
the poor, the weak and the unfor-
tunate among the pioneers.
Nose Bollnan was all honest
man, Honest to the core, and to
hypocrisy he was an utter stranger.
l was always glad to grasp his
large and horny hand. No man
was ever sorry that Nose Bollman
was his friend.
He earned his bread in the sweat
of his face. He depended OH the
labor of his hands, alone, for sus-
tenanCe. He was linked to the
soil, child of nature. His heart

The news item in another
column regarding the railroad
work to be soon commenced to
connect the prairie line of rail-
road with the P. & l. N. road at
Meadows will prove interesting
reading to most of the residents
of the prairie. The new line
will most probably be run south
from this place by way of Grave
creek to Salmon river and thence
up the latter stream to Meadows.
Only about 80 miles of road will
have to be built to forge the con-
Meeting link between north and
south Idaho and when this is
done another vast benefit will
have accrued to the state. And
best of all, Cottonwood will be
on the main line north and south
and may later be made a division
point. Keep your eyes glued on
Cottonwood, for the future of
this town is certainly a bright
one.

Our citizens should not vote
down the bond next Monday just
because the park is tackled to it.
1t does not signify that the park
will be purchased even though
the bond is voted in full. If the
majority of our citizens are
against the purchase of land for
a park let them vote the bond in
full and then petition the council
not to purchase the park. Then
the bonds for park purposes need
not be sold and the street i'm
provement will go on just the
same. If we vote the bond
down now just in order to shut
out the park the expense of
holding the election will have
been wasted and it may be sew
eral years before the question is
brought up again. We need the
street improvement too much to
lose it because of the park, when
the latter can be set aside by
petition so easily even after the
bond is voted. Let us try it at
any rate instead of killing the
entire project.

Regarding The Bond Election.

In order that the voters of Cot
.tonwood may not be led estray in
voting at the election next Mon
day we quote the following from
the Idaho session laws of 1890-91,
page 81, regarding bond cleo
tons:
They shall, also, by ordinance, pro-
vide for the holding of special election
of the qualified voters, who are taxpay-
ers, of such city or town, which shall be
conducted as other city elections, at
which election there shall be submitted
to such electors the question of issuing
such bonds for the purposes named in
such resolution. The voting at such
election must be by ballot, on which
ballot must be written or printed:
For bonds and debt there separately
naming the purpose or purposes for
which said bonds shall be issued and
said debt incurredr' or against bonds
and debt there separately naming the
purpose or purposes for which said bonds
shall be issued and such debt incurr-
ed)"
If it snail appear upon canvass OF
such ballots that two-thirds of such
qualified electors voting at such election
assent to the issuing of such bonds and
the mourning of the Indebtedness there
by created for any one or more of the
purposes named in such resolution, such
bonds for said purpose or purposes shall
be issued in the manner hereinafter pro-
vided.
From the above it will be seen
that any t0I payer of Cotton
wood is qualified to vote at this
election and that the voter can
vote for the street improvement
and against the park, or vice
versa, on the same ballot, accord
ing to his choice.
