The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1910-02-24

Governor Brady has not at any time made a
formal announcement of his candidacy to succeed
himself but that ne will be in the field is assured
One of the arguments that will in all probabil-
ity be presented in his favor is the 'second term
practice, by which, wherever a man has filled his
office acceptably, it is the custom to give him a
second nomination.
His attitude on the local option question is well
known. 1t has not been announced whether he
would ask for a state wide prohibition platform;
but the present law, at any rate, would be main
tanned.
Good roads will be one of the issues; the bet
terment of the state highways by every possible
means, volunteer. official and by state aid The
great losses occasioned by poor roads, that cost
time and money, and an appalling waste of horse
fesh make serious drain on the resources of the
state.
Better and more uniform system of taxation,
to be secured through cooperation of the county
commissioners and the assessors all over the state
will be one of the things that will doubtless be
made part of the Brady platform. This move
ment, started this year by the convention of county
commissioners at Boise promises to become very
important and to have far-reaching effect.
The good record made by some of the appointees
of the present state administration notably the
pure food commissioner, will be brought into the
campaign for denomination While some of the
appointees have not been above the average,
exceptionally good ones will materially strengthen
the movement for a denomination
OF course, the rapid growth of the state, the
success of the great Carey Act projects, and the
continued demand for segregations by big and
sponsible companies, shows that outsiders have
confidence in the present administration, enough
that they anxious to get in and start their
work Some of the biggest projects in the history
of the state, indeed of irrigation anywhere in the
history of the world, have been started during this
administration.
The direct primary law passed by thd last leg
islature, is of the measures on whicn Governor
Brady viii insist part of his administration.
The law has its first trial this year
In social and charitable circles, the present gov
ernor has been quite noticeably active.
The prestige and possession of the appointve
powers of the governor always give the present
incumbent good working lead; though in this
it is considerably nullfed by the fact that of
his opponents is chairman of the republican state
central committee and so close political touch
with the state while the other speaker of the
last house has strong position. All of
wealth among the wealthiest in the state.

Richfeld to Have
EN- In a Year
Good Things Here
Company's Generosity
Helps SchOOls--Wa-
ter April Ist

An ordinance presented by James A.
Green and his associates, asking for
franchise for an electric light and pow
er company to operate in Richfeld, was
given its first reading at the last meet
ing of the village board. Mr.. Green
proposes to utilize the falls in the Lit
tie Wood river just below town, where
250 h. p. will bd developed at first; this
can be increased to 450 h. p., when the
town needs it, The alant must be in
operation within 12months, or the fran
chise is invalid
The council deferred action on new
water works franchise presented by the
company. 1t did not specify maximum
rates, nor did it make the provisions
the board thought desirable for extern
sipn of mains and for fire hydrants. 1t
can be taken up later
The Idaho Irrigation Company has
given the Richfeld school district $500
and loaned $500 more, so that the full
9-months school term can be held Tn
very generous action of the company
tides the district through very tight
financial hole.
Water is to be delivered to all lands
of the Idaho Irrigation Company pro-
ject, April 1st---to every acre under
their canal system. Official announce
ment will be made next week.
Several blocks of concrete Sidewalk
will be laid here this spring, as soon
as the weather will permit.
The o. S. l.. surveyors are expect
ed back here shortly. to complete the
work for the Richfield- Boise main line
through Idaho. Is is believed that the
road will be built, or at least started,
this year. It will be the biggest rail
road job in the west this year--220 miles.

IT'S GARNER" JONES.
Recorder Buys Farm, to Try
the Simple Life.

J. E. Shea has sold to H. B. Jones,
of the Recorder office, the southeast 40
acres of section 27, mile and a quar-
ter west of town. 1t is an excellent
tract of land, right on the railroad, and
as fertile soil as there is on the tract
1t isn't for new town, or switch
yard, or anything like that though it
is good enough for any or all of these
but for real home farm, with holly
hooks and climbing roses and wabbly-
legged calves and fuzzy little chicks
and lot of shady trees with pippins
and cherries atop and hammocks under
neath-and nothing at all to do but
work
The sale was made through the agen-
cy of the Richfield Real Estate & In
suronce Company.

b. F. ("BARNEY'O o'NEIL.

My friends throughout the state have urgent
ly requested to enter the primaries as a candi-
date for nomination for the office of governor, and
after careful consideration of the conditions con-
fronting the state today, have concluded that as
a lifelong supporter of the Republican party it is
my duty to accept the responsibility
My views on the affairs of the state are well
known. AS chairman of the Republican committee
of Idaho have had occasion to state those views
but in order that may not be misunderstood, or
my opinions misrepresented l will state in brief
the principles for which stand.
81 firmly believe in conducting the affairs of the
state in businesske manner and free from politi-
cal manipulation l believe that appontve offices
should be filled by the best qualified to do the
work and if l elected shall conduct the affairs
under my charge on the principles which make for
success in business economy and efficiency under
the law.
''The new state central committee will have
the responsibility of framing the party platform,
but if | am nominated l shall insist on my platform
standing squarely for local option and giving the
existing law thorough test of rigid enforcement.
81 in favor of the equalization of state
taxation so that every county shall bear its full
share of the burden. While believe in a liberal
maintenance of state institutions, shall insist that
the affairs of the state shall be so conducted that
the rate of taxation shall be maintained at mini
num-
In regard to the Carey act believe in the
rigid enforcement of the provisions which protect
the interest of the settlers.
81 believe the antitrust laws should be enforced
and the corporations doing business in the state of
Idaho should be made to operate within the law
Encouragement should be given to all worthy
terprses, but the interests of the people must al
ways be protected from monopolies. l am unalter-
ably opposed to the exclusive control of water
power by special interests as against the interests
of the public.
81 am in hearty accord with the policies advo-
Gated by our former president, Theodore Roosevelt,
and now being recommended to the national con
gress by President Taft, looking to the conservation
of national resources from wastefu exploitation.
My best efforts will be directed to the ulti-
mate end of building up in Idaho great common
wealth in accordance with the principles of the
constitution of the United States in which there is
equal opportunity for all citizens. l believe that
the Gem state viii be one of the most prosper
of the states in the Union and if | am elected
shall endeavor to conduct the affairs under my
charge to aid in the development of the state
and the welfare of all it's citizens. -

TWO NEAR CHAMPIONS.
Poet Eariat Reports iTsirriiiiil,
Contest.

1t was sight for man or ghost, when
Burton Reeves, the Richfield post mas
ter, the man who handles mail, the man
who's stayed through every gale that's
swept the town for three long years,
and gathered crops of smiles and tears
when Reeves the bold, the boxer
swift, put on the gloves and sought to
biff that canny Scot, Macarthur, he who
fought back in the old countree.
They boxed all through the long
drawn eve; they made the air look like
a sieve; they landed rights and lefts and
swings, and hooks and jabs and other
things; each to the other sent his best
and it was good enough you'd guess,
if once you saw those blows more stark
than Noah used to build his ark
They boxed it easy, boxed it rough,
and neither one would cry enough"
but each will swear the other man can
box like near" champian

men in his class, except Wolgast; most
of the top-notchers in fights from Is to
45 rounds. But the long years of hard
fighting was too much to stand, and a
youn6er champion had to win at last.
In gameness only was Nelson match
for Wolgast; he took the worst beating
any really high class fighter has taken
in years, and protested with signs-he
couldn't speak---when the referee stop
ped the fight
Wolgast made close to $50, ,OOOby win
ming the fight. Nelson, however, could
afford TO miss this fat purse, as he has
made and laid by close to &10O, 900 since
he began fighting thirteen years ago.
He will probably fight no more.

Idaho, visited Sunday and Monday with
his old-time friend, J. A. Green of this

DEADLY CAPSELLA.
''Shepherd' Purse" the Poison
Which Kills Horses.

Veterinarian ]. NJ Beeman recently
sent to the state agricultural college a
sample of the hay that seems to have
caused the death of 16 horses for VIM.
Strunk here in Richfeld The bureau
of animal husbandry made a close in
vestigation, and wrote Mr.. Beeman as
follows:
'Your letter of January 28th was
duly received, but the bag of hay only
came to hand yesterday and after look
ing over the hay / have come to the
conclusion that the trouble you are
having is identical with troubles that
farmers are having in the vicinity
of Grangeville, Nez Perse and in other
sections of the state

much of the weed Capsella shepherds

the mustard family The people about
here call it Pepper-grass but Pepper

FAMILY IN your sample.
'The Capsella produces a form of in
digestion which is highly fatal as you
have just experienced and must act in
one of two ways, it is either so full of
coarse fiber that it cannot be digested
and forms balls which are hard and in
moveable or else it contains some sub
stance of medicinal nature that ex-
perts its Influence on the digestive tract
paralyzing it and thereby the food is
not digested but instead is formed into
the firm balls. This is the point to be
worked out as well as methods of treat
ment
''It may be possible that there is eth
er an alkaline or acid condition of the

neutralized. There are other weeds in
the sample which l shall try to identify
and if learn more about the cases will
write you again.

Both Teams Defeated at Carey
Girls Play Good Game

The ladies basket ball team went up
to Carey, last Friday evening, where
they played the Junior team, of that
place, the score being Is to 10 in favor
of Carey.
The Carey team was composed of
boys, that were much heavier than the
girls, but nevertheless, the girls say
they can and viii beat them the next
game.
There was about $50 spectators and
the girls speak in the highest terms of
the treatment received while there.
The boys team of this city were de-
feated by the Carey Seniors by score
