THE Spokane-Revew is authority
for the statement that at least one-half
of the converts in the Billy Sunday
revival were received into the var
ious churches of Spokane on last
Sunday, and that many who had not
gone forward in the meetings came
out at the invitation of the pastors and
took membership, and many of the
churches have not yet given converts
an opportunity to take church mem
bership with them The general
verdict is that the meetings were a
great victory for the church people of
that city. The merchants claim that
the revival has done more effective
work for them than all the collection
agencies in the country in securing
payment of worthless and outlawed
debts, and they are as a consequence
ardent defenders of the Sunday meet
ings.

In reply to statements from polltl-
cal enemies of Gov. Brady to the
effect that he had a hand in inspiring
the numerous favorable editorials
comments throughout the states anent
his turning down the proposition from
opponents of the senior senator TO
allow his name to be used in the
senatorial contest, Mr.. Brady makes
the following sensible remarks:
There is absolutely no basis for
them. | wish to say emphatically
that | never, directly or indirectly,
suggested to any editor in the state
even thought which would inspire
such articles, and wish to add, for
that matter, that at no time have |
ever inpired, either direct or Indirect
ly, any editorials in any newspaper in
this state. In my opinion, Idaho
journalists are well able to control
their own thoughts.
The Globe has been one of the
papers to make favorable comment
on the governors position in regard
to the matter under discussion,
and yet the governor is not even
a subscriber to this paper, nor
has he ever addressed COM
munication to it, nor directly or in
directly suggested or inspired a single
one of those commendatory articles,
except by his honorable conduct.

REPRESENTATIVE A. A. ALvoRD,
OF Nez Perce county, charges that a
fund of S73, 900 has been provided to
defeat the senate local option bill,
and is now in Boise for use. $500
of this fund, he says was raised in
Lewiston. ]. 0. Webster, of Ere
mont county, says he was approached
by opponents of the bill, who
expressed a desire to discuss the
matter with him, but" he says
/ informed them that | was bound
by both county and state platforms,
and would abide by them" That
is certainly proper sentiment on the
part OF that representative, who con-
Slders that he is bound by the express
ed wishes of his constituency in the
matter, although he thinks, as he
puts it, that other remedies might
be more efficient in effecting the
desired end. The opposition to the
bill has perfect right to discuss the
matter with the representatives, and
present the opposing view, but not to
use brides or other unlawful means
to overthrow the measure, and as no
such attempt has yet been made, there
is possibly nothing IN the rumor about
the SluSh fund.

A. w. Urine, local agent for the
wireless telephone system, whose
territory covers Latah and Nezperce
counties, arrived on Tuesday. Mr..
Urine says that the new system will
have stations in Pocatello, Boise,
Twin Falls, Weiser, Lewiston, Occur
d Alene, Moscow and Grangeville.
Stock in this new system is selling
double to what it was a year ago,
which proves the merits of the new
invention. Mr.. Urine will be here
about two weeks. -Nez Perez Her

Some Good-Looking Specimens.

A. D. Barley brought some very
good samples of ore over from his
mine on the Clearwater, and left
them with The Globe. Mr.. Barley
located a claim about three miles east
of the Dewey mine a year ago, which
he has been modestly developing
since with very satisfactory results.
He has pounded out in mortar some
200 pounds of concentrates, which
he says compare favorably with the
products of any mine in this section
of the great northwest. Some of the
assay returns are marvelously rich.

THE annual debate between the
Boise high school and the college
of Idaho occurred in Boise on last
Friday evening, in which Boise was
defeated supporting the affirmative of
the question. Resolved, that Idaho
should establish system of direct
legislation by the people" 1t is an
interesting fact that our Representative
Hon. John R. Atkinson was a judge
of the debate, along with Judge Ere

sided.

feet of steel tubing for culverts. The
cruSher will be shipped to Sites and
put 10 work at the foot of noun
tain of baSalt rock on the Elk City
road where, a considerable stretch of
grade will be macadamized. The
graders and other equipment will be
shipped to this point for distribution
over the prairie and it is to be hoped
one or more of the graders can be
put to work on this side of the prairie
this spring and kept constantly in mo-
ton until our roads are graded up in
to decent shape. If the commission
ers had adopted a progressive plan
several years ago and purchased a
grader for every road district in the
county our roads would now be in as
good condition as they are in Nez
Perez county or in the PalouSe coun-
try. 1t is impossible TO construct
good roads without proper machinery
and SO far the money spent each year
in repairing the bad places in the coun-
ty thoroughfares has been about the
same as wasted. Chronicle, Cot

county printing in Nez Perez county,
sustaining the action of the county
