To the Republican Voters
OF THE
Twelfth Judicial Circuit

OWING TO THE FACT THAT
THE SHoRTNESS OF THE TIME
INTERVENING BEFORE TIL IL
ELECTION MAKES 1T IMPOSSIBLE
FOR ME TO REACH YOU PER-
SONAIL.Y, / HAVE DECIDED TO
USE THIS SPACE FROM DAY TO
DAY TO PRESENT SIMPLY AND
FRANKLY THE FACTS WHICH l
BELIEVE ENTITLE ME TO YOUR
SUPPORT.
The primary system of direct NOM
lnation of public officers has been
one of the greatest steps we have ever
taken in the direction OF making OF
flee holders responsive to the will OF
the People. If, however, after making
an active and earnest campaign for
primary nomination I'm n district In
which his party is overwhelmingly
predominant a candidate should find
that after receiving the nomination OF
his party the voters would immediate
ly turn upon their party nominee and
vote for the candidate Of the other
party he would have a right to argue
that his efforts In the primary were or
no avail and the primary itself fail
ure.
Now as never before, party loyalty
means something.
1t means loyalty TO the choice of the
people of the party. Any other course
would be hailed by the enemies of the
urinary system with delight as an ar
gument to return to the old plan of
nomination.
The democrats as usual are urging
the republicans TO desert their ticket
and vote for the democrat, and are en-
deavoring to create disaffection in the
republican party wherever possible. IL
would. seem very strange after having
preached party loyalty" and stick to
the ticket" after every nomination
made by a convention in years past
to see republicans repudiate their
nominee when that nominee for the
first time is named by the people
themselves.
The voters of the party have made
me the nominee OF the party, evident
ly relieving me competent to honestly
and ably discharge the duties of the
Office. think, therefore. that / am
entitled to your hearty and earnest
support.

Chicken Figures.

E. T. Jacobs sent his order for
incubators this week. The order
consists of eight Of the wooden
hens and each of $50 to 200 eggs
capacity. 1t is expected that
each one will bring forth four
matches during the season and
this will make $500 additional in
habitants to the poultry popula-
tion of this section. 1t is reason
able to expect two thirds will be
hens and if they are of the royal
blood, each hen should lay 200
eggs during the succeeding sea-
son, which will be 1,240,00O or
103, 900 dozen of the cackelber-
ries. The price should average
thirty cents a dozen, thus adding
$50, 900 to the wealth of this Sec
ton. This is counting the chick
ems before they are hatched.-

An Idaho Bear Killer.

Ten minutes after James Dill
man, a we'll known Latah county
hunter, left his cabin on the
north bank of the Potlatch river,
Friday, he found, instead Of Of
ter tracks for which he was
searching, the tracks of a mon
ster cougar. The animal had
crossed the river on deer's trail.
Dillman returned to the cabin for
his pack hounds and took up the
cougars trail, up Boulder mount
ain. At one place in the route
up the mountainside the cougar
had leaped 40 feet into a deer's
bed but the deer had apparently
scampered away unframed.
The cougar then gave up the
chase of the deer and started up
the mountainside. Dillman fol-
lowed the tracks, came to where
a bear had made it's winter quar-
ters, and found by tracks in the
snow that the bear and cougar
had clashed.
While standing there he saw a
argeblack bear under a fallen
tree. Dillman fired three times.
The following day he brought
the bear to town on the back of
his pony.
Dillman has killed 81 bears in
13 years. Teller.

Governor Hawley Honored.

w. A. Coughanour, of Payette,
presented Governor Hawley with
a beautiful desk paper-weight
recently in the form of a grizzly
bear, made of gold. The gov
ernor was greatly pleased with
the gift and Mr.. Coughanour's
happy manner of making the
presentation.
1t is said that the gold was
taken from a famous mine which
Mr.. Coughanour owned and oper-
ated next to Governor. Hawley's
Iowa mine at Quartzburg, more
than 40 years ago, when the two
were young men.
''The first Settler of Idaho"
was the inscription on the card
accompanying the gold bear.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Coughanour
and Governor Hawley are pretty
old settlers themselves, this in
scription appealed to the execu-
tive's sense of fitness of the
little reminder.
Mr.. Coughanour felt that he
held a greater claim to making
the first present of this kind to
Hawley, because he was the
man, who, without even consult
ing Hawley, sent in nomination
papers for the primary election
by which he nominated Mr.. Haw-
ley as candidate for governor to
run for the democratic nomina-
tion. Mr.. Coughanour sent in
the required fee, too, and it was
not until he read the report in
the newspapers that Mr.. Hawley
knew he had been thus placed in
the race. Statesman.
