Heavy Yield of Grain

Mat. Duclos finished threshing his
fine field of barley Just north of town
late last week and informs us it yield
ed 60 bushels to the acre. He says
much of it was left on the ground and
had it been possible to secure all of
the grain the yield would easily have
reached 70 bushels per acre. But
even 60 bushels is not bad for such a
dry year.
f. ID. Lamb, residing about four
miles north of town, brought to this
office last Saturday a sample Of second
crop alfalfa grown on his farm this
year. The grass is about three feet
in heignt and just about ready for the
second cutting and will yield about
. tons to the acre. Considering that
this is an extra dry year and that the
alfalfa was grown without irrigation
Mr.. Lambs alfalfa patch is producing
equal to the best sections of irrigated
land in this state.-Cottonwood

Hon. Jas. n. HaWley, Demo-

James H. Hawley is perhaps one Of
the best known public men in the
state Of Idaho, being all attorney and
a pioneer of the state. Mr.. Hawley
has been prominently mentioned by
his party for many years as a possible
yubernatorial candidate but he has
persistently refused to enter the race.
His acceptance of the declaration of
nomination in the coming primaries
shows that he has at last acceded to
the desires of his many friends from
all sections to make the gubernatorial
race and in the coming primaries it is
freely predicted that he will be the
Tchoice Of his party. Mr.. Hawley is a
straightforward, upright business
man and aside from partisan politics
if nominated and elected will give the
state a splendid administration of at
fairs. In statement just issued he
declares for direct legislation by the

oemocrats Vote Only Three
Second Choices

We want to call the attention of
orr Democratic voters to the fact that
@ under the Primary law there are no
..second choice votes necessary or al
,owad on the Democratic ticket this
rear except on our county ticket, for
tbe office of Prosecuting Attorney, for
Sheriff and for Clerk and Auditor.
The Primary law provides that
there shall be no second choice
votes except in cases where there are
..more than twice as many candidates
as there are places to fill"
This condition does not exist on our
state ticket as there is no place where
we have more than two candidates for
any office, and it does not exist on
our county ticket except for the Of
fees above named.
On our Legislative ticket, there are
three places to fill with, only four can
didates in the field, SO there is nc
.,second choice vote for this place.
Where voter is required to vote a
second choice" vote, for the places
above named, he can either vote his
second choice for one of the names
printed on the ticket or he can write
in the name of some other person.

For Congress

John j. Seawell, democratic candi-
date for congress, will no doubt carry
Idaho county at the coming primaries
by handsome majority. Mr.. Sea-
well, if nominated will not only poll
his partys vote but will receive many
progressive republican votes as he
stands for a downward revision of the
tariff. In his statement Mr.. Seawell
says:

the tariff in the interest Of the people,
curbing of the unlawful power Of the
trusts, regulation OF railroads and 9th

of [. S. Senators by direct vote of the

Noted Evangelist Coming

Evangelist David Eugene Olson of
Seattle, who is known as the "Cyclone
Evangelist of the Northwets," has
been engaged to conduct an evangelis-
tic campaign for the Christian church
Of this city. Word has just been re-
ceived by Rev. Morgan from the
evangelist stating that the meetings
would begin the latter part Of Janu-

Olson has marvellous record behind
him, and it is confidently expected
that the campaign will result in great
good. The Armory will probably be
secured for the meetings. Watch for

O'Neil'S Third Visit

Tuesday evening Barney ONeil
made his third visit to Idaho county
by arriving on the evening train and
remaining until Wednesday morning
when he departed for Moscow where
he will close his campaign for the
nomination of governor on the repub-
lican ticket. O'Neil was given quite
hearty reception at the Armory hall,
close to seventy-fve people being pres
ent. OF this number third were
democrats who are great admirers of
Barney. Short speeches were made
by local political aspirants and Rev.
Mcdonald in well worded introduc-
ton, presented O'Neil to the assembl-
age. Mr.. O'Neil is not fowery
talker but rather witty and most in
teresting. He explained his position
as agent for a Spokane brewing COM
pany and stated he was not being
backed by breweryman, neither did
he own stock in a brewing company in
the state of Idaho. 1t is needless to
say that in making this statement Mr.
O'Neil was not referring to Paul
Clagstone.
O'Neil is a pleasant man to meet
and is putting up great fight for the
chance he has.

Gold From South Fork

Close to 81, 200 in gold is being
shipped from the South Fork mine to
the offices of the company at Spokane
every week nowadays and from pres
ent indications the seasons run of that
company will make most excellent
showing. Last week two gold brisks,
one valued at $640 and the other
close to $500 were shipped to Spokane
the results of the weeks work.
Last week work was temporarily
suspended on account eff the removal
of the gas engine, which has been fur
nishing power, to permit the installa-
tion of a large engine and boiler.
With the new equipment it is eX.
pected that the production of the
mine will be greatly increased over
the crude method of operation which
was being used at the time of the pur
chase OF the property by Spokane
financeers.

Forest Fire Situation Serious
in This County
TWO MEN SERIOUSLY BURNED
Holt & RhoadeS Lose Band Of
500 Sheep

The forest fire situation in Idaho
county is mighty serious and reports
from the various sections If the county
are not at all encouraging. On the
Clearwater reserve the fires are still
burning tierecly and it is stated over
800 men are employed fighting fires in
the Lolo section. Over fifty men are
at work in the vicinity Of Elk City
and the last reports from that section
were rather encouraging.
Along the Salmon the fires are not
under control and two men have been
badly burned in the attempt to sub
due the flames.
Gus keating was terribly burned
Sunday while fighting near Allison
Creek and is being brought to this
city by Supervisor Ring who will ar.
rive tonight. A man by the name Of
freeman was caught in the flames
near higgins the first of the week anc
is suffering from severe burns.
A report from the Weiser reserve
states that Holt 4 Rhoades have lost
500 sheep in the forest fires now rag
ing in that section. Yesterday ant
today a heavy cloud Of smoke has en-
veloped Grangeville and fires to tn,
south of the city are working havoc il
the timber. Should n brisk soutl
wind arise Grangeville is in the dan
ger zone.
A fire is also reported near tn

While Grangeville has had the
pleasure Of entertaining a great many
OF the republican state candidates but
few of the opposite party who are seek
ing nomination for state offices have
visited us. This can be explained BY
the fact of the present harmony that
exists in the democratic party the
state over and the desire Of the candi-
dates to allow the people to select the
candidates without any great amount
of influence be brought to bear.

For Coroner

A word as to Joseph McClaskey,
democratic candidate for coroner,
might not come amiss at this time.
Mr. McClaskey has been located in
Cottonwood for some time, conducting
an undertaking parlor at that place.
He holds diplomas not only in Idaho
but also in Washington and Oregon
and is one of the four undertakers
who have been granted diplomas in
this state by most thorough exami-
nation. He is a young man of eX-
cellent character, prominent in frater-
nal orders and has come west to make
his home. If elected to Office he will
be able to attend to the duties of the
same and no mountainous trip or long
journey filled with dangers and wear
ing on a man of more mature years
will him prevent from performing his
duty. McClaskey is receiving the
tsolid support of the people on the west
side of the Prairie and it is the hope
of his many friends in that section
that he will receive the support of tn,
party i'm this section as Grangevill,
has many candidates for county office
it is only fair that the democrats o
the west side should have a share o
offices. +

sive kamiah Progress, was in the city
Saturday. Just what brought him up
here we are unable to learn. Mat
has been leaning little republican
this year and this may be the reason
he did not drop in for chat. Then
maybe he had business to occupy his
time. Anyway he found time enough
to put in good word for his town

stated that recently half of the Brid-
well addition of 30 acres to the town,

To the democrats of Idaho County:
The undersigned is in receipt of a

for Congress on the Democratic ticket,
in which Mr.. Bowen states, owing to
press of legal business in the courts,
he will probably be unable to visit

ton.

in this county as a personal acquaint-
ance and friend, wish to say for him
that | have known him for about
twelve years, and know him to be q
strong, bright and able lawyer and a
man of the highest personal integrity;
he has been law partner with Judge
Stockslager at HALEY ever since the
Judge retired from the Supreme Court
bench.
am confident that if the Demo

will make good and they will have no
cause to regret their choice. =

made number of friends and Satur-
day night John c. Rice, of Caldwell,
who is making a brief visit of the
North in the interests of his candidacy
for governor, dropped into the city
and remained until Monday when he
left for other Northern counties.
Mr.. Rice is not making very act
i've campaign and states there is the
friendliest of feelings between him and
Mr.. Hawley, the other democratic
candidate.
Rice is mighty fine gentleman and
impresses one with his sincerity. He
is business man of integrity and
honesty and has host of admirers
the state over, particularly in the
south and southeast where he is better
known.
Mr.. Rice predicts his greatest
strength will come from the south and
southeast and admits the north seems
favorable to Hawley.
While in the city he met great
many democrats and while some may
not be in hearty accord with his stand
on the liquor question there were none
who failed to give credit to Mr.. Rice
for sincerity and honesty. Should John
G. Rice be elected governor Of Idaho
the people will be given an honest,
business administration and their will
carried out.
Mr. Rice has been resident of the
state for twenty years, being located
at Caldwell where he is engaged in
the practice of law. He has represent
ed his home county in the legislature
and in 1890 was a candidate of his
party for the district judgeship. He
is a man of high character and fine
ability, and has always been prominent
in the councils of his party and in the
public affairs of his home section.
At time of deciding to make thu

was quickly hauled from the field,
however, and dumped from the wagon
