Fire Fighters Put to Work
Opening Country.
The large force of men that
Ranger Martin had fighting the
fire on Iron mountain, are now
camped on the head of the west
fork of American river. They
are constructing trails, on
O'Hara creek, Newsome and
American rivers, so that in the
future the rangers can get into
this country from all points of
the compass. 1t is the intention
to divide this crew of men and
send 80 of them over Anderson
Butte to build a trail down
Meadow creek to the Selway.
They are packing their supplies
from Elk City.

which it is associated in the
southeastern part of Nez Perce
county, Idaho, is more concen-
trated in the lower part of the
gravel and on the underlying
bedrock than in the upper part
of the gravel. The sand seems
to be more plentiful in the an

For this reason these ancient

State and County Tickets
Now Indicated.
IDAHO COUNTY in A MIX-UP
Will Take official Count to
Determine Result.

The primary election held on
August 30th for the nomination
of state and county officers has
not been fully decided.
At present it is conceded that
Brady, for governor on the re-
publican ticket wins on first
choice votes, but as it will take
both first and second choice votes,
O'Neil thinks he has a fighting
chance,
For congressman, French leads
Hamer by an overwhelming
majority. This result was sur
prise to a great many, as it was
not conceded that French had
any more than an even break,
but the progressive spirit was
stronger than was supposed.
r. N. Bell has been nominated
for mine Inspector and Miss
Grace Shepperd for school super
intendent; encouragement is
still in doubt, with John T. Nor
rison we'll in the lead.
Hyatt for secretary of state
still leads on first choice votes,
but Clifford, the Lewiston candi-
date, is a close second, and may
win on first and second choice.
1t will take an official count to
determine this vote.
Clagstone is said to be headed
for Boise prepared to contest
Brady's nomination. The COVER
nor's supporters here declare he
can make no showing as the
governor has not left his office
on political missions, all the work
for him having been done by
anti-saloon leagues, law and
order leagues and similar organ
izations.
The democratic nominees con
ceeded so far are: James H
Hawley, anti-state wide prohibi
ZIONIST, was nominated for gov
ernor and A. B. Bowen for con
gress. Supreme court justice, J
L. McClear; lieutenant-governor
E. j. Hunter; auditor, E. w
Jones; treasurer, Joseph T. Car
ruth; secretary of state, 0. V
Badley; encouragement, Franl
L, Moore; school superintendent
Gertrude Noble; mine Inspector
J. A. Czizek.
1t develops that not over a
per cent of the registered vot
went to the polls. The suprem
court having held that the secon,
choice vote was compulsory an
if neglected disqualified the hrs
choice, thousands of voters wrot
in names indiscriminately fo
second choice in order to protec
their first choice. This great
delayed and complicated tn
count.

be required to recount the votes
in all precincts instead OF can
vassing the returns as is the
usual custom. At the present
time but 18 out of At precincts
have been heard from andthe
reports vary in a number of in
stances.
1t is also suggested there will
be a number of contests as in
cases where voters wrote in the
name of a second choice candi-
date and failed to mark the cross
for the second choice vote, the
ballot for this office has not been
counted and ruling of the court
will be sought in such cases
where the intention Of the voter
has been plainly shown.
The law requires the commits
sioners to meet on the 10th day
after a primary election, or
sooner, if all returns be received.
The board in Idaho county will
meet tomorrow, Sept. 9th, and
should a recount be ordered, it
will be at least two weeks be-
fore the official vote can be an
nounced.

ALL RANGERS
ACCOUNTED FOR
The Party at the Pettibone
Ranch Safe.

Harry Shissler who went to
the relief of a party at the Petit
bone ranch on the Upper Selway
returned to Elk City, Wednesday
morning. He states that the
men were all right and have re-
turned down the river.
Shissler states that at the
ranch the fire burned great
deal of the range, but enough
was saved to winter the stock.
While in there he made trip up
Bear creek nearly to the summit
of the Bitter Roots, and from his
observations he does not think
any of the big cedar groves were
in the least damaged, and great
deal of the country has really
been benefited by the fire. All
the underbrush has been burned
off, and in some cases good TIM
Der, but in most cases the timber
burned was of an inferior quality.
Shissler states that the fire
burned up Meadow creek to
Green mountain and there met
the fire from the Little Salmon,
and looking from Green mount
ain the country is black as far
as the eye. can reach.

"A ence has performed at least one
indisputably conspicuous service to the
cause of mankind. 1t has taught and

uselessness and the unchristianity of
fear. How any man who believes In
the New Testament teachings can
read or listen to the frequent admoni-
tions not to fear and then be afraid
of anything OF anybody is past finding
out.
However 1t accounts for the non
efficiency of some Christians. They
are well-meaning people. but do not
illustrate Christian success because
they are afraid Of this, that or the
other thing; sometimes are afraid oi
themselves. They are always distrust'
ing and mistrusting and wondering
and questioning Even when they are
sure they are right they are timid and
they don't go ahead.
Perfect love, perfect trust In the
divine omnipotence, cast out fear. In
fact, it is impossible to have perfect
trust in divine omnipotence and still
be afraid of anything or anybody. A
complete, rounded and perfect conf
dence and love In Our Father In

HYGIENIC EDUCATION

CAMPAIGN against typhoid is
n planned by the Association of Life
IA Insurance presidents. There is
more typhoid fever in the United
States than in any other civilized
country The annual toll is $4,000
deaths and over $4,000 cases. This
shocking state of affairs is largely at
tributable to popular ignorance of
hygienic matters and methods, and par
ticularly with relation to typhoid.
This ignorance is caused by the fact
there is no provision for the hygienic
education of the public. Like other
practical branches of education,
hygiene and the prevention and cure of
common diseases are subjects which
are carefully avoided in most schools.
Even In academies that are well posted
on the ethics of Artaxerxes and the
cryptogrammic disquisition OF Thotmes
on the paralellopiped students are not
taught how to avoid measles and scar
let fever and typhoid, to say nothing
of indigestion.
DR.. Rosenau of Harvard medical
school recommends the organization OF
a public health militia. He says pre-
ventlve medicine is the watchword OF
the hour and enlistment in the cause
can come only through education.
There are two important factors in
public health work. One is gaining
new knowledge through scientific re-
search, the other is the diffusion of the
knowledge thus gained. When man
acquires special information on a hy-
gienic or any other subject it is his
duty to pass 1t on; and it is because
of an age long effort to reserve for q
few special instructions In diseases and
their treatment and to make such spe-
cial knowledge a matter of revenue
that the people today know so little
about themselves, about care of the
body, about prevention of disease
about treatment and cure. AS DR.
Rosenau says, the scientific and pro-
fessional corps may be the regular
army in the campaign to free ciyiliza-
ton from disease, but the people mus
be the effective militia.

MINIMUM WAGE

MONG the social problems investi-
n gated in New Zealand by Labor
"a Commissioner Harris Weinstock
and reporterd on by him to Gov
ernor Gillett was the legalized min
imum wage. This is one of the
measures adopted by New Zealand
legislatures to end sweatshops, un-
derbidding and slave-driving. The
measure of course has its enemies
as we'll as friends. A leading merchant
who thinks the minimum wage an OBJ
jectionable feature of New Zealand
life says: 1.-The minimum wage tends
to a leveling down process instead of
q leyeling up" What he means Is,
there are employers who If the law in
dieates a minimum rate will adopt that
rate. Another, frankly avowing him
self to be q "skln," says cheerfully:
Il pay my men strictly according to
the minimum wage"
But there is more testimony in favor
of a minimum wage than against it.
Far-sighted employers who have be-
lieved in giving a maximum wage
when there was a minimum appointed
have had an experience similar to that
enjoyed by proht-sharing employers
They have found business has been
greatly increased, and THE MORE
WAGES THEY PAY THE MORE
MONEY THEY MAKE.
Here are some extracts from testi-
mony obtained by Mr.. Weinstock:
A furniture manufacturer: "Mer
are paid according to their value, re-
gardless of the legal wage; but ol
course never below the legal rate"
Secretary of an employees associa.
tion: THE minimum wage admittedly
protects the fair against the unfair
employer"
A business man: 1.-THE minimum
wage is a safeguard against workers
being sweated in hard times"
A shoe manufacturer: 1.-The minimum
wage does not make for the dead leve
this trade are paid as much above tht
minimum wage as they can make
themselves worth"
A baker: 1.-The minimum wage
checks the downward wage limit il
bad times, but puts no limit on al
upward wage trend in good times"
A labor member of parliament: "Tht
/ fixing of minimum wage does away
with sweating. increases the purchas
ing power and has led to the genera
| improvement of the worker"
