SMITH WILL BE CANDIDATE
Secretary to Senator Hepburn Willing
to- Go to Congress.

Pocatello, Idaho, Sept. 27.-The
congressional apportionment law en-
acted at'the last session giving Idaho
an additional representative in con-
gress becomes effective March a, 1918,
making it necessary to elect the new
congressman at the regular election
in 1912.
AS the legislature made no provis-
ion for separate districts both of the
representatives will be elected by the
entire state. The availability of several
prominent republicans is being dis
cussed and among those whose can
didacy is receiving most favorable
mention is Addison T. Smith, until
recently secretary of the republican
state central committee, who is in the
city today. When asked as to his
rumored candidacy, Mr. Smith re-
piled:
ut is rather early to announce
my candidacy, as the primary election
is nearly a year away. Many of my
friends over the entire state are urg-
ing me to stand for the nomination,
and advise me that by reason of my
wide acquaintance as the result of
my 20 years service as secretary to
Senators Shoup and Hepburn, and II
years connection with the republican
state central committee, l would have
a most excellent chance of being the
choice of the people for the nomina-
ton and election.
Under the direct primary law it is
a free for all contest, and / think it
advisable to give the voters an oppor-
tunity to discuss the claims of those
who may aspire to the place before
beginning an aggressive campaign.
THE apparent unanimity with |
which my friends are rallying to my |
support is most gratifying to me, and |
| deeply appreciate their loyalty and
readiness to advance my candidacy at |
the appropriate time

BAD FIRE IN IDAHO TOWN
Blaze Starting in Mercantile Establish.
ment at Kamiah Does $4,000
Damage

Kamiah, Idaho Fire, start
ing in the Dismore Mercantile compa
ny's establishment shortly after mid
night, did damage amounting to $45,
0O0 The losses are:
Dismore Mercantile company, build
ing and stock, $25 5000.
J. F. Pomeroy Hardware company
$4,000.
In addition to this several business
houses across the street were badly
|scorched, and plate glass windows
lwere cracked by the extreme heat
When the fire was discovered the
Dismore building was in flames. An
alarm brought out the volunteer fire
companies, consisting of hose COM
pany and chemical company.
Despite their efforts the flames
spread to the hardware store and that
building was soon a mass of ruins.
Only a small quantity of hardware
goods we're saved. Nothing was saved
in the Dismore building.
BY hard work the firemen prevented
further spread of the fire, though
several other mercantile houses were
in close proximity.

On October 10, less than two weeks
hence, the voters of California; fol-
the second time in the history of the
state, will decide by their votes wheth-
er women shall have the right to vote
The last time wOmen'S suffrage was
submitted to the ballot in that state
it was defeated by only 5000 votes
Times have changed greatly since then
and the advocates of women's rights
are not only more hopeful of success
than ever before but quite confident
that California will win. the honor of
becoming the sixth state in the Union
to grant suffrage to women.
Never was political campaign in
that state fought with greater deter
mination than the one now drawing to
a close. The women of California
realized the Importance of victory
at this time and, inspired and en-
couraged by the success of the women
in other western states, entered upon
this campaign with tremendous en-
ergy and determination. When the
legislature decided to submit a con-
stltutional amendment, giving women
the right to vote, to a referendum
vote on October 10, it did not find the
women of the state unprepared.
More than two years ago the first
step was taken to prepare the women
Of California for just such an emer-
gency. 1t was Mrs. James Lees Laid
law, chairman of the Womens Suf-
frage party of New York City, who by
her individual efforts induced the
women of California to organize for
the purpose of making fight for
suffrage. The ground was well pre-
pared and, when the legislature voted
for the submission of the women's
suffrage amendment to the state con-
stitution, the organized women of that
state were ready to begin the battle.
Fully realizing the Importance of a
thorough and energetic campaign the
women of California sent out an APP
peal to the friends of women's suf-
frage throughout the United States
and elsewhere. Nobly did their
friends respond to the appeal. From
all parts of the world came encOurag
ing letters from men and women in
terested in the success of the women
Of California fighting for their rights.

CAPITOL TO COST
OVER A MILLION

Boise-Work on the construction OF
ldahos capitol has again been resum-
ed and James Stewart G Co., the
contracting firm, who were recently
awarded the contract for the finishing
OF the central section of the building
are assembling material on and about
the premises and have at present en-
gagged on the construction of the build
ing about 45 men.
The cost of the building in its
present state is approximately $780,
900. The architects estimated that
it would cost to finish and decorate
the central section ready for occu-
pancy $750,000 in addition to the
above. AS the general contract for
this central section was let some
100000 below their estimate, they fig
ure at the present time that to COM
plete the central section of the build
ing will cost $670,000, which will make
total cost, for the central section
ready for occupancy of $1,10000O.
The building as it now stands con-
sists of the exterior walls, the in
terror walls and the steel work The
exterior walls are constructed of Idaho
sandstone and granite, and it is con-
sldered an excellent piece of archi-
tectural masonry work
The building of the scaffolding
for the support of the derrick and
the raising of material in the con-
struction of the dome, has been
commenced, the scaffolding extend
ing 30 or 40 feet above the top of
the building. The excavation for the
power house has been made, and also
for the tunnel, and work on this build
ing will be started the fore part of this
week.
1t is the intention of the contrac-
tors to get the main portion of the
building under roof within the next
so days and put a temporary roof over
the base of the dome, so that the in
terror Of the building can be finished
during the winter months
anG during the same period, the cut
stone, terra-cotta and all materials
into the dome will be prepar-
ed at the yards ready to be placed in
position early the coming spring.
About March Is, 1912, this temper
Try roof over the base of the dome
Will be removed, and the construc-
ion of the dome proper will be COM
nenced. The first floor of the building
will be completed ready for occupancy
N or about July 1, 1912. And the whole |
whole building will be completed on
II before October 1, 1912

THE AGRICULTURAL VALUE OF
THE LOW LANDS OF NORTH
IDAHO,

| Of the several types of agricultural
lands to be found in north Idaho, per-
haps no one type presents more in
teresting features than does one which
represents the low, or natural meadow
lands bordering the st. Joe and ST.
Maries Rivers in Kootenai county. To
a certain degree these lands are typi-
cal, too, of the low lands OF the Koot-
enai River in Bonner county, and Of
the So-called marsh, or tule, lands of
both counties In their present I'M
protected condition these lands are
subject to annual overflow, and ex-
tensive areas are now in a partially
submerged or water logged condition.
They are of particular value however,
to the county in which they occur and
to the agricultural interests Of the
state in general, because it has been
demonstrated that they are capable of
being transformed from their present
raw condition into the most fertile and
productive lands of the state. A re-
Gently instituted survey OF these low
lands brings out the following points:
From geological standpoint they
may be considered as resulting from
the gradual deposit Of ailuvium car
ried by mountain streams from the
drainage basin of the respective rivers,
and from the decay of such vegetation
as usually fourishes on low lands
when subject to periodic inundation.
From the standpoint of mechanical
composition they may be described as
fine sandy, or fine silly loans; COM
position which means. great water
holding capacity, and one which in
sures easy cultivation. In chemical
composition, they are rich in all the
elements required in plant nu-
nitrogen and humus Their great depth
nitrogen and humus. Their great depth
and mechanical nature permits an I'M
limited feeding range for plant roots
and therefore under intelligent man
agement, when diked and drained they
will prove to be practically inexhausti-
ble
They are natural meadow lands and
are capable of being converted into the
finest timothy meadows OF the state.
But their greatest value to north Ida
no in general and to Kootenai county
in particular, lies in the fact that when
drained and protected from
overflow they will be found adapted to
he most intensive cultivation. This
'act will make possible a greatly in
creased agricultural population, the
benefits of which undoubtedly will be
elt in the numbering, mining, and all
,ther interests of north Idaho.

aid says: 1t was not so long ago that
the sugar beat was welcomed to this coun-
try as great boon that would not only
make sugar cheaper, but would at the
same time make worthless land fabulously
valuable The land has been made valu-
able alright, buC sugar, so far as the con-
sumers are concerned, is higher now than
it was before the beet sugar was introduce
ed, and that too with vast quantities Of
beet sugar being produced. The men con-
trolling the beet sugar output are not in
trust with the cane sugar producers, but
they are in trust with themselves, and do
not seek to lower the price of the sugar
of their opponents. Thus it seems the
middle men in the United States is ever in
the hands of either one set of thieves or
another.
