CALLED HOME.

On Monday, April 9th, 1909, sweet
little Nellie fell asleep at the home
of her parents, Mr.. Mrs. J. +. Nan
ney, on the Walker farm south of
Pennington. Nellie was the idol of
her parents and sister and broth
ers, who have the profound sympa-
thy Of their nelgbors an friends In
this their sad bereayment. Little
Nellie was ninteen months aud sew
en days Of age at the time Of her
death. and had suffered for some
weeks with severe attack Of
whooping cough complicated with
pneumonia. Medical skill and care
ful nursing seemed powerless to re-
lieye her until the loving Heavenly
Father called her To that bright
home where sickness and death
cannot enter.
In the language OF Job, let the
good parents learn to say, 1.-THE
Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken
away blessed be the name Of the

ihaae IN any newspaper and none i.
| required, Ill so far as the holding of q
general election is concerned, but the
statute does require that when a ques
ton is to be submitted to the voters, a
notice OF the question to be submitted
shall be published in at least two
weeks OF the issue Of some paper pub
llshed in the county. The agreed
statement of facts show that several
newspapers in the county published
the question to be submitted to the
voters, and that question was thereby
directly made known to the voters of
Idaho county. In view of the fact
that the statute prescribes no form of
question to be propounded to the vot-
ers, and in view of the fact that it is
agreed that whatever form Of question
was to be, it was directly presented by
the newspapers to every voter in the
county, the court thinks that this DO
sition of the plaintiff is not tenable
after an election has been held, and
when it is not claimed any voter was
mlsled or failed to be properly in
formed, but when it is expressly shown
that each voter was informed of the
question to be voted on. The court
has serious doubts as to whether the
legality of an election on account of
the proceedings not being regular, or
ON account Of any defects in the pro-
ceedings or failure to strictly follow
the law, can be raised by injunction
proceedings. The attack upon the
election made by an injunction to pre-
vent the interference of business is a
collateral attack, and in cases where
the question of whether one person or
another is entitled to hold an office as
the result Of general election, the
writ OF quo warranto or other appro-
pirate remedies are given, directly at
lacking the validity of the action; in
this case no such provision is made
with reference to the interference with
the business Of those engaged in the
saloon business.
However, the court finds that it is
not necessary for the court to pass up
on this question in this case. The
court will decline to issue any injunc-
tion order, and the attorney for the
defendants will prepare a proper
order without delay, and forward for
my signature giving to the plaintiff an
exception
We understand the case will be
carried to the highest court and
thorough test made Of the constitution
ality Of the act.

Four Dollars Bounty

The farmers of Tolo have organized
and are going to conduct war on the
coyotes Much damage has been done
to the sheep, hogs and poultry by
these animals and they have become
SO numerous that the farmers have
gotten together and are going to pay
an additional bounty for their capture
Of $3.50. The state allows $1.5O
for every coyote killed and this bounty
with that offered by the farmers will
made it worth while to hunt them
down. The total amount on coyotes
in the Tolo section will be four dol
lars.

Choosing a Christmas Present

When you make a present Of peri.
odicol to friend or family YOU are
really selecting companion to innu-
ence them for good or i'll during a
whole year. If the acquaintance of
your sons and daughters were to talk
to them aloud as some periodicals talk
to them silently, how quickly you
would forbid the companionship! In
the one case as in the other, the best
course is to supplant the injurious
with something equally attractive and
at the same time worth while" A
food can be wholesome and utterly
distasteful. Reading can be made so,
too. But The Youths Companion
not only nourishes the mind, but de-
lights it, just like that ideal human
associate whom you would choose.
The Youths Companion fills that

Ten Mile the Name of the New
Mining District
WILL HAVE A POST OFFICE
Part OF the New District Taken
From Orogrande

A new mining district has been
created in the Elk City, Orogrande
country and the same mapped out and
recognized in the record of mines of
Idaho county, the land office at Lew
iston and the Department of Interior.
The new district will be known as the
Ten Mile Mining District and takes in
part of the old Station District
which was included in the Orogrande
district. BY the creation of the new
district the Orogrande loses a portion
Of its territory which will make the
boundaries of Orogrande as follows:
Beginning at the mouth of Rapid
Creek, running thence up said Creek
to its head; thence southerly to the
western slope of Summit Flat, and on
to the east line of Robbins Mining
District; thence sontherly along said
line Of Robbins Mining District two
miles below Fish Lake on Lake creek;
thence easterly on an air line to the
summit between Big Creek and
Crooked Creek of Dixie; thence north
erly to Red River Divide; thence
northerly along the divide between
Relief Creek and the divide at the
head Of Deadwood creek to the mouth
of Crooked river; thence down the
South Fork of the Clearwater river to
the mouth of Rapid Creek, the place
Of beginning.
The Ten Mile district will ask for a
post office and no doubt one will be
established. The following are the
boundaries of the district:
Beginning at the mouth of Rapid
Creek, and running southerly up said
creek to its head; thence southerly to
the western slope of Summit Flat, to
the line of Robbins Mining District;
following this line westerly to point
on Twenty Mile creek; thence down
Twenty Mile creek to the South Fork
OF the Clearwater river; thence down
said river to the mouth of Silver
creek; thence up Silver creek to line
Of Newsome district, and on to Old
Tippy Gulch; thence down same to
Newsome Creek; thence up Newsome
creek to the month of Wildwood
Gulch; thence up Wildwood Gulch to
the Elk City wagon road, and follow
same to the mouth of Crooked river;
thence down the South Fork of the
Clearwater river to the mouth of
Rapid Creek, the place of beginning.

Cooked DouRhnutS in Boot
Grease

Here is pretty good one on Jack
Chamberlain, the Salmon river cow
puncher. 1t seems last summer when
the surveying crew Of the p. Il G. r.
X. was down about Coopers Bar, Jack
had given up punching cows and gone
to cooking. He had secured place
with this particular crew and one day
was busily engaged making dough-
nuts for the hungry fellows. With
his sleeves rolled up and the perspir-
alton from his forehead dropping in
the skillet Jack was busy dropping
circles of dough in the hot lard and
lifting the golden circles out again
when he discovered he had more
doughnuts to dip than he had lard to
dip them in. They say necessity is
the mother Of invention and Jack
must have been impressed with the
saying for he grabbed large can of
boot-grease and dumped it into the
skillet.
The doughnuts popped and sizzled,
the aroma Of the boot-grease reached
the nostrils of the hungry surveying
crew and dash was made for the
camp where the resourcefulness of the
cook was discovered and later on
leaked out.
No wonder the surveying crew
which passed through this city several
weeks ago looked SO sleek and fat.

Ninety-nine Years Old

Talk about the healthfulness of the
climate Of this section of Idaho,
Grandma Webber, pioneer Of this
county, having come here shortly after
the Indian war, passed her ninety
ninth birthday last week. In COM
pany with her husband they came to
Camas Prairie shortly after the Indian
war and have resided in Fairview ev-
cry since. Her husband is about ten
years her junior and in the best of
health. We believe a search of the
records will show Grandma Webber
among the oldest if not the oldest
pioneer of the State of Idaho.

Opinion of Old Stager

I. Fl. Washburn, who had charge
of the stage barns of Jackson when the
Stites-Grangeville line was in opera
tion, came in from Florence this week.
He is an old pioneer in the stage busi-
ness, having been connected with stage
and overland express lines since 1866.
He says the coming of the railroad
crowds the old pioneers back and a
visit to the city shows change in the
faces. "Lew" states it is the rule
when remote towns get railroad for
the first year or SO business is unsteady
and not as good as usual.

Taft's utterances have invited white men
to make 1t appear that there was opposi-
ton to the appointment of colored men
to office and have tended to justify the
new constitutions adopted in southern
states, designed to eliminate negro voters.
Appointments made by the president are
criticised, especially of democrats with al
legged ante-bellum tendencies. The appoint
ment of a federal judge in North Carolina
especially is cited.
The attitude of the president has had
an effect prejudicial TO the negro In in
dustrial life, 1t is declared, inasmuch as
membership in labor unions, which they
have held for years, now has been seri-
ously objected to. The resolutions de-
nounce the executive color line policy
of President Taft and demand that he
square his policies with the Chicago plat
form, so far as the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments are concerned.
