Possible Candidates
Thirteen Names Mentioned as Posi-
BILE Candidates for. Governor on

and it is understood that their friends
are circulating around to see what can
be done for them.
Whether or not Mr.. Brady is seri-
ously a candidate cannot at this time
be learned, but in spite of his decla-
ration thau ne is out of poitics, there
is persistent rumor that his friends
are trying to get him to run and will
make a fight for him.
This far away nothing can be seen of
the situation in the northern part of
the state, and as far as can be
learned Burton L. French has a clear
field in the north. No announcement
has been received from him at this
early date as to whether or not he will
be n candidate for reelection, but as
nothing has been heard to the contrary
itvis taken for granted by most promi-
nent Republicans that Mr. French will
again make the race.
The news of Mr.. Gooding's candi-
dacy was received in Boise yesterday,
ana it is said that a number of promi-
nent Republicans have been trying to
induce him to RIM.
Mr. Gooding's term of office as
president of the National Wool Ware
house association expires snext March,
and it is thought that at that time he
will become either a candidate for re-
election to that Office, or governor of
the state.
The wool warehouse scheme has been
one of Mr. Goodings hobbies, and he
has always been deeply interested in
it. Friends of his say that he would
probably rather hold the position as
president Of the Wool Warehouse
company than to take the gubernatorial
chair, but it is understood that Wyom-
ing sheep men control the association.
and that while Mr. Gooding is popular
with them, his reelection as president
of the association is said to be by no
means certain as yet.
The oft-repeated assertion that the
next Republican candidate for COVER
nor is to come from northern Idaho
seems to have great force back of it.
The logic of the situation would point
to that outcome. But this assertion is
not accepted by many active party
in the south and the counter
assertion is often heard that northern
Idaho Republicans must unite on some
particular candidate if they wish to Sc
,ure the head of the ticket from their
Idaho Statesman.

Following are the names of promi-
nent republicans who are mentioned as
probable candidates for Governor next

Friends of Fred w. Gooding are try
ing to induce him to enter the race for
governor Of the state, and it is re-
ported that in case he is not reelected
president of the National Wool Ware
house association he may become a
candidate. Either through accident or
design, number of prominent Repub-
lieans are in the city at the present
time, and the political pegs are being
set. In the Republican ranks the
gubernatorial race promises to be one
Of the warmest that the state has
seen.
Already the names of IS men, those
appearing above, have been urged as
candidates. Just how seriously the
different men whose names are in
cluded are thinking of going after the
nomination. it is impossible to tell at
this tine, bnt rumor has it that num-
ber Of these men have practically ad-
mitted their candidacy.
Mention is also made in the political
gossip that is current in the hotel lob
bies of men who may enter the race
for two of The other Offices, title to
which will be disputed at the next gen
sral election, the office of state
treasurer and United States repre-
sentative being the ones to which as
oirants are alleged to be attached.
T. K. Little, a retired business man
If Caldwell, is the latest mentioned
possibly for state treasurer, but his
has not yet been announced
~ his authority.
The indications at this time are that
he fight for the Republican nomi-
lation for representative in the south
rn part Of the state will be fully as
pirited and sharply contested as the
race.

TYPHOID GERM

Among the pathcgenic bacteria that
are met with in sewage from any
municipality, the typhoid bacteria are
by far the most common and unfortun-
ately the most dangerous.
The human excreta, both liquid and
solid, contain millions of typhoid bacil-
Ii which find their way through the
sewage into river and lakes used as
sources of water supply.
1t is common but deplorable fact
that sewage from cities on the Atlantic
coast, from where most oysters come,
is used as supply of food for the
oyster. The oyster farms as rule are
placed directly below and in the inn
mediate neighborhood of the sewage
outlet. The solid excrement from the
sewage is utilized as food for the
oysters.
When we consider then the viability
of the typhoid germ in the human
excreta, and the utilization of the lat
ter by oysters as food, we should see
at once the grave danger we encounter
by eating the oysters in an uncooked
The typhoid bacillus does not form

The members of the Modern Wood
men enjoyed a pleasant evening at
their hail Wednesday evening. Oy-
sters and many other good things to
eat were partaken of in quantities that
would insure Indigestion, and ames of
all kinds were played. Practically all
the members were present ana to say
they had an enjoyable time is putting

organized in Richfeld and they are fast
increasing their membership having
taken in several new members since
their organization, and they have

Altogether Too Dear.

Last week under the caption Woe
full Wailings" the Recorder published
an article from the Boise Capital News
wherein Attorney Stafford of Goodine
again ISLANDERS his community anc
This paper would be less than honest
with its readers if it failed to point out
some of the misrepresentation of that
article which it may be inferred have
Mr.. Stafford's approval as he has pub
lished no denial.
The manifest purpose of the article
is to impress State officers and the pub
lie generally with his Importance as a
controller of votes. The prophesy is
hazarded that would-be statesmen who
rely upon Staffords votes for election
will see the headwaters of Salt Creek
at the first round.
The interview states that water was
not turned on on the Wood River pro-
ject until the middle of May, 1910.
This is a known misstatement of facts
and anyone who cares to inquire can
find plenty of witnesses to testify to
the use of water as needed during the
month of April
The interview states that sufficient
water was not furnished to produce
crops. Attention is called to the prize
winning displays sent from this country
in 1910 to Seattle, Spokane, Boise,
vertising on the coast and in the
Valley. Where were they
raised? Whose knocking was it that
prevented the collection of displays for
this year? Richfield did her part, and
it appears Gooding and the balance of
the project have swapped this valuable
for the privilege of paying
egal fees to prove that they have
nothing worth while.
The meat in Mr. Stafford's whole
is found in those paragraphs
wherein he says st will become neces-
ary to attack the entire ir-
igation system. This is exactly ]
he attitude The Recorder resents. 1t
las no fight with Stafford as an indivi- {
ual. 1t carries no commission for the t

aign of misrepresentation like that d
utlined in this interview in the Capt. a

lotives are so plainly mercenary that t

The following from The Statesman
shows just what is being done in the
hills north of Soldier. While Camas
Prairie is usually thought of as an ag-
ricultural paradise, still the article
gives an idea of what is being done in
mining way. With the advent of a
railroad, all the properties mentioned
will find this the nearest outfitting
point. A majority of them now buy
their supplies in Soldier:
Advices from the Skeleton mining
district state that the Ell Orc mill has
been crushing ore steadily all summer,
with the exception of few minor de-
lays, caused by breakdowns, which
prove troublesome, owing to the dis
tance to the base of supplies The ore
handled has plated $40 throughout the
season. A Bottom car of the concen-
trates, shipped to Salt Lake last
month, netted S97 per ton. The tail
ings, which are banked, sample $12.
The vein is in fine shape, with the ore
varying from three to IA feet and four
or five miners are all that are
required to supply the mill E. W.

pany, says that no further shipments
will be made, as it has been arranged

1t deserves. The irrigation system is
the property of the settler; the pros
perity of the country is his principal
concern; shall we all then sit idly by
and see the one slandered and the
other destroyed in order that an agita-
tor may prosper.
1t is claimed in the interview that an
offer was made to settle controversies
by friendly suit. The officers of the
company deny this fatty, and state
that all efforts of compromise made to
Stafford as representative of the Far
mer's Association have been rejected
upon one fiimsy pretext or another
1t IS claimed in the interview that
the company refused to take any action
upon the recommendation of the land
board that deserving cases be promptly
adjusted. Company officers claim this
statement to be a willful misrepre-
sentation. They cite numerous cases
where adjustment has been made and
accounts settled, and offer to prove
that an offer made to Stafford for the
adjustment of differences with all
members of the Gooding Association
was rejected by Stafford unless he
could be made final arbiter of all
disputes.
