InSpects Local Weather Station

Edward l.. Wells, Section Director
u S. Weather Bureau, with headquart-
ers at Boise, was in Shoshone the last
of the week to inspect the work of the
local Cooperative Observer, Zell Tru-
man, which he found in excellent condi-
tion From Mr.. Wells the information
was obtained that weather record
has been kept at American Falls for
the past twelve or fifteen years and
through him will be obtained the aver
age annual rainfall or precipitation for
northern Oneida county for the time
record has been kept. The object of
this is to compare the rainfall of Oneida
county where dry farming is a success
with Lincoln county where it has not
been fairly tested. If dry farming can
be made success in this county it
would add an immense amount of new
wealth to the county and advance the
material welfare of the majority of its
people.

LUMBER YARD FOR sHOSHONE
Meeter Lumber Co. Buys Land in
ShoshOne for Another Yard

The Weeter Lumber Company of
Pocatello has bought, through the
Haddock Land Company, the half-blocll
in the rear of the Journal Office for the
location of a lumber yard. In view of
the immense amounts of lumber that
will be required in building operations
in the field tributary to Shoshone in the
near future the location of a new yard
becomes almost a necessity and the
Weeter company is a very desirable
one to locate IN our midst Mr.. J. C.
Weeter, the president of the company,
has visited many of the promising towns
in southern Idaho and after looking over
Shoshone he gave it as his opinion that
this city has as bright future before
as any he knows of, and he further
stated that if he had $4,000 spare
money to invest he would plant it in
Shoshone and in the country tributary
to it.

Republicans Elect Entire
Ticket; National, State
and County
Nationally the Republicans Have
About the Same Heavy Majority
as They Did Four Years Ago

Election day passed off as quietly as
Sunday, in Lincoln county, and the
majority is well pleased with the result
Lincoln county has been admittedly q
republican stronghold, and it is no sur
prise that it continues so through an
other election. 1t is rare, however,
that democracy fails to get some rec
ognition, as happened this year. No
democrat, on the national, state or
county ticket came even reasonably
close to election, as well as can be
Judged by the incomplete returns now
in. There are five precincts yet un-
reported, but all of these will give
small votes, and are considered to he
about stand-of for both parties, so
that the present majorities will be little
changed.
The one great surprise is the reversal
of the vote on the Minidoka project
and Shoshone Last year, the Minidoka
project strayed far from the republican
fold, while Shoshone by voting untedly
secured a dominating place in the
county convention. This year, the pro-
iect settlers voted solidly republican,
and Shoshone fell off, so that Rupert
and Hepburn alone may be expected to
have practically half the total strength
in the next republican convention, based
on the vote of this year.
The democratic hopes were built
largely on about three officers sheriff,
attorney and assessor, with perhaps a
chance for the legislative ticket and
one place on the board of commission
ers. 1t had been predicted early in the
campaign that other candidates would
be sacrificed if necessary to win these
places, but the vote does not indicate
that this was done. 1t was just re-
publican year in Lincoln county, and no
democrat could win; it was not a per-
sonal disgrace to any democrat to be
defeated, since all his companions got
the same thing.
The legislature, according to the lat
est figures, which are incomplete, show
that the republicans will have 43 to the
democrats 10 in the house, and IA to 9
in the senate, majority on joint ballot
of 80. This is small gain over last
year. AS only 80 votes are needed to
elect senator, and the republicans
have 81, the election of Senator Hey
burn is assured. Whatever effort there
was made to elect democratic state sem
ators and block the passage of local
option law, came to naught, as the re-
publicans have very decided majority
in that body, and more than four to one
Dne in the house
The county gave Taft and Brady
good majorities; the republican man

ayers claim, with good show of substan-
tiating it, that this is the banner re-
publican county in the state, consider
ing the size Of the vote, and the fact
that they won everything. Latah and
Ada counties both gave much larger
majorities for Taft, but fell down on
the other candidates, both voting for
Alexander for governor.
In Blaine county the republicans
elected six and the democrats seven of
their county ticket In Twin Falls
county the democrats secured the SEN
ator and the Sheriff. Elmore county
elected democratic legislative ticket,
as usual. In Ada county it was about
a stand-off, the republicans securing
the five members of the lower house
and part of the county offices, while the
democrats got the senate and some
other county offices. In general, the
republicans out over the state held their
own with two years ago in the securing
of county offices.
The socialist vote. while not yet tab
ubated here, is believed to be larger il
Lincoln county than ever before. But
nationally. it has fallen away down
perhaps to one-half what it was four
years ago. The prohibition vote and
the independence party showed up very
behind the expectations of
their friends.
The table elsewhere on the page gives
the returns for Lincoln county, as far
as they have come in:

The Halloween ball given by the
young ladies of Shoshone was quite a
brilliant affair and was one of the no
table social events Of the season.
The opera hall was well filled and in
connection with the dancing, light re-
freshments were served in the nall
The Pocatello Orchestra furnished the
music and that is saying good deal
for the musical part Of the ball. The
young lad es of Shoshone can always
be counted on to make "a success of.
whatever they undertake and the Hal
loween bail only added another laurel
to the crown Of their achievements.

A w. C. T. u. contest for silver
medals is to be given in the Methodist
church, tonight, which promises to be
of unusual merit. Six girls are in
training for the contest. Misses Lois
Borden Eva Wheeler, Tress Mcmahon,
Maud Raef, Grace Varnum and Hazel
Blodgett All have been under the
care of Miss Martha Garlock, who is
one of the most talented elocutionists
who ever came to this part of the
state. Miss Garlock will also read as
part of the program, and Miss Ava
McMahon and Bert Bowler will sing.
The entire program promises to be of
rare excellence, and the sale of tickets
probably surpasses any such event ever
held here.
