What Did the Claim Agent
Do?

Up in Minnesota MI. Olson had
a COW killed by a railroad train.
In due season the claim agent
for the railroad called.
We understand, of course,
that the deceased was a very
docile and valuable ANIMAL" said
the claim agent in his most per-
suasive claim agentlemanly man
ner, and we sympathize with
you and your family in your loss.
But, Mr.. Olson, you must re-
member this: Your COW had no
business being upon our tracks.
Those tracks are our private
property and when she invaded
them she became a trespasser.
Technically speaking, you, as her
owner, became a trespasser also.
But we have no desire to carry
the issue into court and possibly
give you trouble. Now then,
what would you regard as a fair
settlement between you and the
railroad company?"
VAIL" said Mr.. Olson slowly,
"Ay bane poor Swede farmer,
but Ay skall give you two dol
lars. -Everybody's Magazine.

New Fire Apparatus.

The village board at a meeting
held last Friday, ordered two
new pieces of fire fighting appar.
atus which will put our volunteer
fire department in shape to fight
fires with more chances of sue
cess than ever before. The
board ordered a 6O-gallon chem
ical engine and a large and COM
plete hook and ladder truck with
a full set of appliances for getting
at a fire. This new apparatus,
together with the Armstrong
pump, puts Finley in good shape
to handle a fire.

LOOKING FOR SURPRISES.

One thought that is in the minds
of a large proportion of the people
OF the state of Idaho in connection
with the candidacy of Governor
Brady for denomination is that they
want to give him an opportunity to
give them the benefit of his expert
ence during the past two years. He
has demonstrated to them, by his
acts that he is ready and willing
and determined to remedy every evil
that he is clothed with authority to
correct.
We find, moreover, that a good
many people who know the governor
will expect him to be far more effec-
tive along these lines during another
term than he has been during the
first. 1t necessarily took him con-
siderable time to familiarize himself
with all the curves and turns and
passages of the states ramifed in
terests He now has complete grasp
of everything He knows where the
danger points are Moreover, he
knows what points will bear watch
ing, and he has shown by what he
has done since he entered Office that
he will watch every point and bring
every person to account who may be
derelict in his duty. if he be clothed
with sufficient authority to do so.
There are a great multitude of
people in the state of Idaho who be-
lieve that Governor Brady. during
his second term, will seriously sur
prise a certain class of people who
get into Office thinking that they can
do as they please. 1t is not known
just what he can do or what he VIII
do, but from the way he has carried
himself and the things he has all
ready done. there is a very strong
suspicion that he proposes, during
his second term. to give the people
the full benefit of all he has learned
in relation to business methods, and
all that he may learn hereafter.
Possibly the legislature may not
clothe him with sufficient authority
to do everything that such man
would like to do. but very large
class of people are satisfied he viii
WELD a bigger stick than the gem
eral public supposes him to carry
about with him.
In other words, people are satis-
fed that if anything goes wrong it
vii be corrected. even though some
political heads have to be cracked

lNampa Recordl

ANdiupd AttOIQ
When Governor Brady declared
himself to stand by the party plat
form on the liquor question he ac-
cepted the logical solution. His POI
litical opponents have tried to de-
pict him as being on the fence. en-
deavoring TO win favor with both the
local optionists and the prohibition
lists by not declaring himself for
either Why should he? He at pres
ent holds his position by virtue of the
republican party, and has thus far
kept faith with every plank in the
republican platform to the entire sat
isfactiOn of the majority Why
shouldn't he give his party recogni-
ton on the principal issue of the
present campaign?
1t is unnecessary for the governor
to take the initiative on the temper
ance question Everyone knows, or
should know, that he favors the alb
clifton of the saloon. and he frankly
states that he will not be candidate
II the party advocates open liquor
traffic Why should he go further. ?
Mr. Brady is an honest and fearless
official. He has allied himself with
the republican party and has faith
fully kept its pledges. without assum-
ing the attitude of a dictator. Hav-
ing given satisfaction during his two
years of incumbency. it would be alb.
sclutely unnecessary and unwise foi
him to stand on anything but his pasl
record and his party's platform dur
ing the present campaign. To j.
therefore reasonable to believe that
he has accepted the logical solution
and in doing so has better chance al
the primary than if he would declar,
himself for local option or prohibi
ton.

THE CHAMELEoN,s FATE

A young lady owned a chameleon
of which she was very proud. and the
chameleon in turn showed his fond
ness for his mistress by doing his best
to reflect the colors she wore. When
she wore pink, that color was faith
fully reproduced when she wore red.
the chameleon was there in good
shape; when she wore blue, green Or
yellow, the little lizard was on to the
job. but one day she put on a scotch
plaid waist and the poor little devil
split himself wide open trying to
make good. This is. of course, an Old
story. but, If press dispatches may be
relied upon, it mas have a counter
part in real life.

next two years at least fifty thousand
acres in the immediate vicinity of

that the matter may be considered in

Is obvious, and there can be no ques-

will be a great factor in educating the

nothing more than putting blight

Ii is stated that 125 residents of
Mountain Home went to Boise to
help celebrate the Fourth at that
place. We do not begrude the Capital
City the benefits accruing from IFS
energy and business foresight, but it
seems that something should be de-
vised in Mountain Home which will
keep the people and the money they
naturally spend elsewhere on sucn
occasions here at home. An expen-
sive celebration is not essential. but
a patriotic observance of the day Will
certainly tend to arouse the en-
thusiasm and civic pride of our own
citizens and keep them at home, and
at the same time it will bring people
into town from the outlying dis
tricts and neighboring towns. The

attorney general, on account of his
having been engaged in the defense

any accused man is entitled to

So it would seem that the law safe
