CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR HERE
Boise Man Canvassing the Field. Thil
County Seems for Tweedy.

Mr.. and Mrs. John M. Haines, of
Boise, were in the city last week. Mr..
Haines, who is among those seeking the
nomination for governor on the repub-
lican ticket, was in the North to look
over the plitical situation. To the writ
er he stated he was well pleased with
the outlook for his success in the pri-
mary and while he had not made thor.
ough canvass on the North, believed he
could look with assurance to heavy
vote.
Idaho county, being neighbor to
Nezperce, the home of the Hon. Ben
Tweedy, another aspirant to guberna-
torial honors, will no doubt support this
gentleman Loyalty as he stands square
on the platform of two years ago and
has never swerved or been swayed the
least bit on the prohibition question,
which was the main issue with the re-
publicans of the state and heartily
supported by those of that political
faith in this county. Tweedy is sin
cere and honest and stands square-toed
on a number of republican principles.
Of the candidates for governor on the
opposition ticket, the Hon. Ben Tweedy
of Lewiston is the most deserving and
while some of the politicians here are
against him the rank and file will give
him hearty support in the primary.

MINERAL ZONE OF ELK CITY
BRINGS OWNER FORTUNE.
OWNED BY MRS. PARR
Painter the Buyer.-Popular Landlady
Makes Fortune From Mine Taken
to Satisfy Board Bill.

The biggest deal that has been made
in the Elk City district for several
years was closed last Wednesday when
Mrs. NJ A. Parr sold the Mineral Zone
group of claims to John R. Painter, of
Philadelphia. The consideration is not
made public but it is known to run to
six figures. Mr.. Painter made a sub
stantial payment and is now in possess
ion of the property.
The Mineral Zone group first came
into prominence last winter, when in
doing her assessment work, Mrs. Parr
discovered rich shoot of ore. 1t at
tracted the attention of mining men,
and Fred w. Bradley sent his represen-
tative to Elk City to make an examina-
ton of the property. Mr.. Austin made
a very thorough and exhaustive exam
ination and report on the property,
which was so favorable that j. II. Mac
kenzie, an associate of Mr.. Bradley,
came into Elk City last week for fl
nal examination, and also to arrange
the terms of sale. In the latter Mr..
Parr and Mr.. Mackenzie could not
agree and the deal was called off.
From Mrs. Parr it was learned that
she could not see her way clear to come
to Mr.. Mackenzie's terms, in view OF
the amount she had taken from the
claims and the showing they made
In the meantime j. r. Painter had re-
ouested to be given a chance to take
over the ground in case no deal was
made with Mr.. Mackenzie, and so the
transaction was closed.
The Mineral Zone group consists OF
eight claims, situated about two miles
north of Elk City, on the ridge between
American river and Little Elk creek
and on seven claims is very heavy
growth of timber. The Colonel Sellers
and the Enterprise claims are the key
to the group and it is upon the ooione
Sellers claim that the rich ore shoot II
found. For several years the work wa'
done on the Enterprise, and a tunne

this tunnel some very rich ore wa
found, but in driving the tunnel tn
ore was not followed, and the work wa

CANVAS AND NEE PIERCE MEN PAY
$4,000 FOR STOCK.
eleven HEAD TO CONE HERE
E. 8. Sweet the Heaviest Purchaser.
Professional Men Also Go Strong
for the Fancy Blooded Stock.

The University of Idaho is doing a
great work for the farmers of the Pan
handle, in regard to developing the dai-
ry industry Of the North. Several
weeks ago Professor Carlyle of that in
stitution, suggested that great good
could be accomplished for the farmers
of this section who are looking to
future dairy business, should that in
stitution import a number of pure-bred
and high grade dairy animals and.while
there was no fund with which to car
ry out the venture, the benefit to be
derived was readily realized and
through Regents Sweet and another
member of the board from the north a
sufficient sum of money, in the neigh
borhood of $1,000, was advanced by
these gentlemen and Prof. Carlyle went
to the dairy section Of Wisconsin and
secured five cars of choice animals
which were sold at auction last Friday
at Moscow. At no time did the uni
versity or those connected with the
movement desire to make any money
out of the venture but rather to give
stimulus to the dairy industry and any
time an animal brought slight amount
over it's costs, they were willing to
knock the same down to the fortunate
bidder. it is estimated crowd Of over
800 were present and most Of the stock
came to Nez Perce and Camas Prairies,
the first named section investing $4,000
for stock and got some of the choicest
of the offering.
Camas Prairie was second, men from
this section checking out 81 400 for pur-
chases made.
Eleven head came to Grangeville Sat
urday night, a special train having been
made up at Moscow Saturday morning
for the Prairie shipment and arriving
here at nine in the evening. To Mr..
Jordan of the Northern Pacific there is
much credit being given for his kind
ness, for had the train not been ar
ranged for the stock would have been
brought in on the regular schedule, it
would not have arrived here until Tues
day and would have suffered much
L. S. Sweet of this city, made heavy
purchases, securing in all six head OF
fine animals. In the lot were the fol
lowing: Four grade Guernsey females
$1O5, $75, $3.50 and $50; two grade
Jersey females, $3.50 and $97.5O.
DR.. Slusser was also among those
from this section who secured some ex
eellent dairy stock, paying $195 for
pure bred Holstein heifer, and 800 fol-
grade Jersey female.
DIR. Smith, one of the dairy enthusiasts
purchased fine, pure-bred Holsteir
heifer, paying $2O5 for the same and
got bargain at that. Archie Dyer
while not at the sale, through DR.. Smitf
got On excellent type of the Holster
breed, a heifer that cost him $215.
Tom Bales bought a roam Short Horr
heifer for 5000.
1t is the idea of the local men t.
build up the dairy industry in Idah'
county and they have made these pur
chases with this end in view and will
add new animals from year to year

Six Cents for Timothy Seed.

1t is said that timothy seed contracts
are being made at six cents by buyers
for eastern seed houses. AT this price
the average acre of timothy will net

little question that the amount threshed
for seed this year will be as great as
that of last.

From Camas Prairie.

The old hoodoo is still working, four
of the six games the local team has lost

Last Sunday the local team crossed
bats with the Lewiston lads at Lewis
ton with the above result. The game
was a fast one and was well attended
notwithstanding the heat.
Grangeville went to bat first and so
well did Gooch handle the ball that
only three men faced him.
With Lewiston it was different. Nc
Cabe after two hearty swings bunted
one toward third and was safe. Then
Mcfarland sacrificed him to second
and when Tiggleback throw to third
went wild, Lewiston got her first tally,
but the next two men were easy outs.
Score, Grangeville 0, Lewiston /.
Then it started out like l to game
until the 9th inning. In the first of
the second after two men had been
disposed of Tiggleback singled to right
but was forced at second moment Ia
ter. For Lewiston, Housch was out, be-
ing hit by batted ball and the next
two were easy outs by pitcher to first.
In the first of the third two men struck
out but the third was given life on an
error by the third baseman. The next
man whitfield. In Lewiston 3 half the
first three men were put out at first.
In the fourth Ingram hit with one man
gone but in an attempted hit and run
play Lewiston got double play. In
the last half of the fourth only three
men came up. In the sixth with one
man gone Newton started the inning
with hit, stole second, took third and
scored on Karr's two bagger to right.

stage Of the game Karr relieved Hollis

Surber going into center field. Kari

Grangeville s half Schnell got first on
an error and Surber sacrificed; then
Mcfarland muffed Newton's fly and
when Schnell was on third and New

from him and both runners tailed, the
score then being 3 to 3.
In the last of the sth only four meI

Seven for Cummins and One Taft

With nearly $50 of the Roosevelt dele
gates declining to vote and fastening
away at the adjournment time to ten.
der to Colonel Roosevelt the nomina-
tion Of new party, the 18th repub-
lican national convention at the end Of
long and tumultous session tonight
renominated VIM. II. Taft of Ohio for
president and James s. Sherman Of New
York for vice president.
President Taft received SCI Of the
1913 votes in the convention, or 81 more
than majority; Roosevelt 1O7, La
Toilette AZ, Cummins II, Hughes 2, alb
sent 6, present but not voting 344.
The decision of the Roosevelt peo-
pie under direction Of their leader, to
refrain from voting left no other can
didate near the president.
The announcement of the Taft VIC
tory was greeted with cheering from his
adherents and groans from the opposi-
ton.
When it became absolutely certain
early today that Mr.. Taft would be
nominated, without great difficulty the
leaders in control of the convention de-
cided to give him as a running mate his
companion on the ticket in 1908.
All others dropped from the race and
Mr.. Sherman was the only candidate
regularly placed before the convention.
A motion from New Hampshire to make
the nomination by acclamation was de-
clared out of order. There were many
scattering votes on the roll call that
ensued.
The convention amid much confu
sion adjourned sine die.
At no time was there any indication
of walkout of Roosevelt delegates.
They expressed their revolt by silence.
In the confusion just before adjourn
ment a resolution was adopted giving
the national convention power to de-
clare vacant the seat of any man ON
the committee refusing to support the
nominees of the regular convention Of
1912.
Vacancies in the committee were
filed today as follows:
California-Russ Avery.
Louisiana-Victor Lovsel.
Oregon-Ralph Williams.
South Carolina-Joseph w. Talbert.
Tennessee--Newell Sanders.
District of Columbia-Chapin Brown.
1t was 10:43 when Chairman Root
dropped his gavel. The floor was in
confusion and the aisles were crowded
with delegates seeking their seats.
No sooner had Root announced that
the convention was opened than stem
trian vice from the gallery shouted:
"All aboard.''

Brown, newly risen lightweight from

future in front of him was the rniver-
sal verdict today of those who saw him

club last night. While Murphy claimed
a draw, he was a badly marked man at
the end of the contest.
Brown showed surprising speed and
strength and at times had his opponent
puzzled. Boxing experts say that with
a little more experience Brown will
make himself a prominent figure in the
lightweight world.
