port movement to prevent those who
believe that the election was not prop
erly conducted from having the matter
tried out in a competent court.
The Local Option law not only
makes it the duty of Prosecuting At
torneys to prosecute violation thereof,
but says they will be deemed guilty Of
a miskemeanor if they do not, in the
face of this why did not Prosecuting
Attorney Gilmore proceed with his
prosecution in the Minis case There
was no question but what Minis openly
conducted his business after the local
option law was deemed to be in force,
a complaint was made against him he
was arrested brought before commit
ting magistrate and bound ouer to the
District court, yet whole term of
this court is allowed to go by and no
action on the part of the officer whose
duty it is to prosecute Mr.. Gilmore
refuses to give any satisfactory reason
for his actions and refuses to state
when he will prosecute. If he can
take the matter over the May term of
court without action then Minis will
be prevented from attacking the cleo
ton until the fall term.
We do not believe that the fair
minded people Of Idaho county will
justify the actions Of a prosecuting Of
fcer in failing to do his duty in con-
nection with criminal proceedings, SO
far as we know the only reason for
failing to prosecute Minis was to pre-
vent him from showing as a matter of
defense the irregularities in the local
option election, if there is any other
reason we are unable to learn it from
Mr.. Gilmore.
We believe that public officer
should not be partizan but should pro-
ceed with his duty regardless Of wheth-
er it might be in the interests of vets
or drys or any other factions. While
not charging Mr.. Gilmore with failing
to prosecute the Minis case for fear the
defence would show sufficient facts to
warrant the court in holding the cleo
tion void, we would like very much
to know why he did not proceed with
the matter.
As stated in the beginning l am
not seeking any notoriety in this con-
troversy and | only write this to show
the errors in the Review article and
in order that the people may under
stand the situation. The statements
herein as to the history Of the legal
proceedings am indebted to the at
torney of Mr.. Minis for as | was not
personally familiar with them.
| Respectfully Submitted,
Sam Langert.

Newspaper Change

A deal was consummated this week
whereby the Standard-News and the
Globe effected consolidation.
The Standard-News is consolida-
tion Of the Standard and News which
was effected three years ago and the
paper was then conducted for some
time by Messrs. Herzinger and Car
penter, Mr.. Carpenter later buying
the interest Of his partner. Editor
Carpenter has proven himself a jour
nalist of rare attainments and as a
politician has been eminently success.
full.
The Globe was established several
years ago and while it has changed
hands during its short career it has
always been ably edited. The com
bination should make a strong one
and the wish Of this paper is con
tinued success to the proprietors.

Pacific Co. Will Spend $1,000
On Local Exchange
FRANCHISE FOR Is YEARS
City Gets Many Concession
From the Company

At meeting of the city council
held Tuesday night the Pacific Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co., was granted
a twenty-five years franchise to use
the streets and alleys in the city of
Grangeville. Among other things
the franchise provides for the free use
of five telephones to the city, free use
Of the poles for the stringing of wires
for fire alarm or police telephone
service and also compels the company
to spend at least $4,000 in improve
ments on its system in the city of
Grangeville. The $4,000 must be
expended within period Of twelve
months from the granting Of the fran
chise.
We understand that heretofore the
company has had no franchise and
consequently did not feel like making
too extensive improvements until the
matter was settled. The present sys-
tenn is in very bad condition and while
the council was very anxious for i'm
provements the granting of the fran
chise was held off until the demands Of
the city were met.
Mr.. johnson, the representative Of
the company at Lewiston, states the
switchboard is here, two cars Of poles
at Lewiston and other material will
be shipped at once. The old plant
will be 'junked' and an entirely new
and modern telephone system will be
installed. The council drove hard
bargain and has looked we'll to the fu-
ture as well as present rights Of the
city.

Takes Issue With Review
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
While seeking no notoriety through
the public press l believe in justice to
myself and the opponents Of the Local
Option movement in Northern Idaho,
that it is incumbent on me to answer
the communication in the Spokesman
Review Of the 18th. inst date Grange

"Rum Dealers Out to Beat Gil

| am not acquainted with the Re
view correspondent in Grangeville and
have no means of ascertaining whether
the article in question was inspired OF
whether he simply drew on a fervid
imagination for the alleged facts there.
in stated, what / do know however is
that not single material statement
therein cbntained relative to the Minis
case is true.
Concerning this case the article
states:
"Nims was convicted in the Distric,
Court and appealed to the Suprem,
Court where he also lost. Now liquo

First Steam PloW

That the agricultural interests of
Idaho county are fast adopting mod
ern methods of farming is being DEM
onstrated every day by the pur-
chases of all that is modern in the
way of implements with which to till
the soil.
Speaking Of this fact we recall the
purchase this week of the first steam
plow on the Prairie by Henry Miller,
who lives near Denver.
Mr.. Miller ranches 1000 acres of
the excellent land in the golden
wheat belt of the county, and after
fully considering the matter pur-
chased two Emerson four disc plows
of the j. f. Miller Implement Co.,
this week and in ashort time will be
turning the broad burrows on his
ranch in wholesale way. The
plows will be propelled by a Russell
steam engine and will do the work
much faster and more economical
than by the old method. Some time
this week they will be started and no
doubt the outcome will be watched
with interest by number Of other
large ranchers on the Prairie

WILL APPLY FOR WHIT
OF ERROR FOR B|GGS
Attorney 0. D. Bachelor TO
Send Papers to Supreme
Court Today.

Attorney o. d. Bachelor. of coun-
sci for Richard Harding Biggs. will
make application to the Supreme
Court of Appeals of Virginia today
for a writ of error for Biggs. The
writ is asked for on the grounds that
Biggs was improperly sentenced in
that the required thirty days does
not elapse between the date of the
sentencing of the man and the date
set for his execution.
All that the attorneys for the con-
demned negro hope for now is de-
lay in the case so that they can APP
peal to the governor to commute the
sentence of death to life imprison-
ment. Should the Supreme Court
grant a writ of error. Biggs would
have to be brought back here and
re-sentenced by Judge Barham and
taken to the State penitentiary. This
would give the attorneys fifteen days
or more in which to make the appeal
to Governor Mann.
The record of the case with the
bill of exceptions was made up by
Deputy Clerk of Courts Marable yes
terday and will be forwarded by Mr..
Bachelor to the Supreme Court to-
day.
