DredgeS at Work

r. +. Romero of Elk City came out
the first of the week.for a load of sup
plies. He states things are active in
that camp this summer and the two
dredges recently put in by the Jen-
nings people of Portland are in full
operation employing twenty-four men.
One dredge is working on ground
at the mouth of Elk Creek and the
other is located on Little Elk Creek.
The machines are proving success
and the values being saved are very
satisfactory.

No Ball Game

For some reason or other the Lew
iston ball team failed to show up Sun
day and as a result there was no
game. There is considerable criticism
over the action of the Lewiston team,
this being the second time this season
they have failed to keep agreements.
Just what effect the action of the
Lewiston team will have on the at
tendance from the Prairie to the Lew
iston-Clarkston fair is problematical
but if the temper Of the people at this
time continues the Grangeville attend
ance will be mighty slim.

Potatoe Shortage

There is going to be scarcity Of
potatoes on the Prairie this year, the
extremely dry weather effecting the
crop to such an extent that it is very
doubtful if enough will be produced
for home consumption. At the pres
ent time potatoes are being shipped in
to supply the Grangeville trade and
from reports received from other sec
tions Of the county it seems tubors
are just as scarce as in the vicinity of
Grangeville.

Probe Cause lnfantile PARALYSIS

Judging from the following repor,
it is evident that the disease which
has been making great inroads upor
the health of the children of Camas
Prairie is not merely local bur has
reached such proportions as to cause
alarm to the government.
Washington, July 3O.-Owing to
the prevalence of infantile paralysis in
this city and elsewhere throughout
the country, government investiga,
tion is to be made into the cause ol
the disease. This was decided today
after conference between Surgeon
General Wyman of the public health
and marine hospital service and DR..
John f. Anderson, director of the
hygenic laboratory of that service
The investigation will be started as
soon as DR.. w. H. Frost, member
of DR.. Anderson's staff, returns from
Mason City, Iowa, where he is study
ing the disease.
The nature of the germ which
causes the disease is, according to DIR.
Anderson, practical mystery to medi-
cal science.
"The appalling list Of deaths of in
fants, said DR.. Anderson, sis not the
most distressing feature of the disease
as thousands of children are perma-
nently crippled or deformed, the dis
ease not being necessarily fatal.
ut seldom attacks a child older
than four years, but adults occasion
ally have been victims. In my opin-
ion, the disease is both infectious and
contagious; certainly infectious, as has
been proved by experiments. The
disease begins to assert itself early in
June, reaches its height in July and
August, and passes away in Septem-
ber.'

.Tasf Case to be Made on Pri-

VITAL QUESTION TO SETTLE
Court VIII Give Opinion on
Second Choice Provision

The supreme court Of the state will
pass upon the question as to whether
the vote in the coming primary must
vote also the second choice" The
Boise Capital News SO states in the
following article:
The all-important second choice
feature of the direct primary law, over
which there has been SO much contro-
versy in every county in the state,
is at last to be tested. 1t was stated
today that instead of the attorney
general handing down an opinion up
on this puzzling part Of this law, a
test case will be carried direct to the
supreme court of the state under the
''mode of submission" section of the
statutes, an opportunity to render an
opinion upon an imaginary case based
upon situation that might subse-
quently develop. In other words
while no case actually exists, the stat
utes make it possible to stipulate facts
in anticipation of how they might ex-
ist and to submit them to the court to
determine the proper Interpretation Of
the law. An opinion coming before
the primary election will clear situ-
alton which is now clouded and place
voters in a position to properly mark
their ballots.

Bound Over

The preliminary hearing of Theo-
dore Rey nolds, who is charged with
grand larceny was held this morning
before Judge Jaques and the young
man was bound over to the district
court. His bond was fixed at 81, 900
and it is very doubtful if he will be
able to secure it. The story told by
Reynolds was rather conflicting.

State Nominees

The following is the list of candi-
dates for state offices as filed at Boise
at the close of the primary, on last
Saturday evening.
For Governor there are but
two candidates on the democratic tick
ct, James II. Hawley of Boise and
John {. Rice of Caldwell. Both are
most excellent men as was also NJ.
Alexander, who was spoken of in con-
nection with the office.
The republicans have four in the
contest for governor but the fight
seems to be between Brady and O'Neil
with possible chance of Clagstone
landing the nomination providing the
supreme court holders that it is man.
datory that second choice be voted.
The filing Of the nomination and ac-
ceptance Of George Fletcher of Boise
for governor is a stroke of politics by
the Brady people by which it is hoped
to defeat the nomination of Clagstone
for governor on first and second choice
votes and also to cut in on the O'Neil
following
a lively contest is promised be-
tween French and Hamer for the con-
gressmanship and is evidence of quite
an insurgency movement in Idaho.

alton which is now clouded and place
voters in a position to properly mark
their ballots.
Many Demands Made
The attorney generals department
has been bombarded with petitions
asking that the attorney general rem
der decision ON the second choice
FEATURE. The question is one of un-
usual Importance especially in view of
the fact that the primary election is
but month off and there has been
and still is some uncertainty whether
Or not it is mandatory to vote both
:, first and second choice. Mrny of the
most important attorneys of the state
declare that the law is perfectly clear
and that first and second choice is ab-
solutely necessary. The attorney
general believes that the question is
one OF unusual Importance and that it
would be better to allow the supreme
court to pass upon than to render an
opinion himself in which he would
place his own construction on the dir
ect intent of the law.
Some time ago County Attorney c.
T. Mccarthy was requested by the
county commissioner to pass an opin-
Ion upon the second choice clause of
the primary. He took the matter up
with the attorney generals depart
nleht and was informed that prepar-
atlons were then in progress to render
an opinion upon the law. Upon in
quiry at the attorney generals office
Today the information was given to
me county attorney that the matter
VIII be placed before the supreme
eouf' Tor the purpose of securing
nhai opinion on the construction Of
tue law and that this action would be
aken through the stipulation of facts
's tney exist in a case as provided in
section 5O68 of the statutes which
reads as follows:
Parties to a question in difference
. "n.cn might be the subject of civil
"@'ion' may, without action, agree up
