pass patent medicine bill, which some had been pleased to call a bill in the interest of doctors. He commented at length upon the merits of the proposed bill and said but for the damnable influence of lobbyists in the in- terest of the druggists it would have passed and became a law. He referred to one bill which he had the honor to introduce and which stands upon the statute books today without resistance, a law requiring railroads to assess certian properties that had here. tofore escaped taxation, declar- ing that railroads should be com- pelled to pay on every kind of property visible to the eye of mortal man. esste
 Rollo s. Granger was next in- troduced. MT. Granger gave them to understand that he is to be counted in as one who wants office and he admitted he had rather strong "weakness" for the office of ofRepresentative. He said Dr.. Poynor was borrowing trouble by dwelling upon bills that did not pass, that there are plenty of laws that did pass and plenty of measures at which no efforts was made to pass to which he would direct attention. He said the acts of the last gen eral assembly constituted a very large book made up largely of special acts of which according to the best legal information he could get, 90 to 80 per cent are unconstitutional for the reason that the constitution provide s that no special acts shall be pass ed where general law will apply. He said the failure of the legislature to pass wholesale banking laws made it possible for bank failures, such as has been witnessed in this county when quarter of a million dollars of the peoples money had been swept away. That he stands for sane and wholesome banking law. That he favors a law that would curtail useless expenditures in the state and direct the money into tn @ ex- Confederate pension fund so that the old and needy veterans of the Gray could get 100 cents on the dollar in pensions. He said he was the proud son of a Union soldier, but he recognized no less heroism in those who took up arms in defense of the south and he believed it duty to provide tn em with pensions. He had the utm ost love and respect for the Confeder ate soldier. MT. Gran ger assured the doctor that so far as he was concerned this would be contest between gentleman, He had no inclination toward d.slinging. He favored the discussion of living issue of the day. He had no criticims to offer or apologies to make for matters alleged to have taken place before he was born.
 In his rejoinder Dr. Poynor said that we did not need to im- : port men from other states to come into this country to show us how to do things as Granger had come in and proposed. That people who were born and raised here understand con- ditions best.
 The campaign will be con- tinued right on now until Satur-

A II. Isbell returned Thursday
from . trip 81 two months TO Idaho.
While at Boise the thermometer
rose 70 1O7 in the shade and it was
70 bot that be fed to Sawtoo, a de-
serted village in the mountains,
where a company some years ago
spent 1900, boo in building a
smelter and then found there was
no ore to smell. At that time a
village sprung mp and later became
practically deserted. Here he
found beautiful valley where al
falfa and fruit can be grown in
abundance. This valley is owned
by few men who turn their at
tention to stock growing Mr..
Isbell found fishing here the best
he ever saw anywhere. This is a
fine summer resort with its hot
springs, etc. An old Yankee who
can ask more questions than any
other man in the state, keeps a
hotel there.
The most interesting place, how
ever, in Idaho is along the Snake
river where the government is es-
tablishing dams and power plants
that will irrigate thousands of
acres of land and furnish power
for heating, lighting and grinding
Here is the finest dam in the
world. costing SSOO,O0O. Along
the Snake river for distance of
$50 miles there are to be five
power plants of 1000 horse power
each that will furnish the cheap
est power in the world.
OF course he found men there
anxious to sell their lands with a
view Of going father into the north
west where they imagine they
Gun better themselves.
The great northwest will some
day become u paradise for ranch
men, manufacturing and all that
goes to make up n rich and pros
porous country.

The most unreasonable and un-
American restriction contained in
the new primary law is the one
prohibiting man from signing a
petition nominating an independ-
ent CO n 1idate for any Office and af-
terward voting in the August pri-
mary, For illustration: Suppose a
voter desires to assist in nominal
ing man independently for a par
ticular Office, that acts disqualihes
him from voting for any of the other
candidates at the primary. A vot-
er, at the option of the duly au-
thorized challengers, can be made
to take an oath that he is a men,
Der Of a political party. When the
legislature struck the secret ballot
clause out of the primary law it
crushed the most vital American
principle in the structure. A law
that seeks to make man a party
slave is radically wrong. The
country is suffering many political
ills today on account of party gov
eminent.

Under the new system of nomi-
nation, running for office will be
no snap. A candidate for state,
district, county or township Office
must have his papers Oh file at least
forty days before the day of the
primary which is the first Tuesday
in August. In a county he must
have at least 3 per cent of his par
ty vote in at least one fourth of the
precincts on his petition before his
name can be printed on the ballot,
and this must be accompanied by
an affidavit of a qualified voter,
that the signatures are genuine.
For state Office, the minimum
number of signatures is reduced to
one per cent of the state vote and
the minimum counties reduced to
ten in number. To become a can
didate for a district office, greater
than county and less than state,
two per cent of the party vote will
be necessary, secured from at least
one-tenth of the voting precincts in
such districts. Candidates for town
ship Office must secure at least
three per cent of the party vote in
such township. The aggregate
signatures for state, district, coun.
ty or township is 10 per cent of the
party vote. A petition bearing
over 10 per will be invalid. The
man who gets nomination will
surely earn it.
