ARMOUR. HEREFORDS. COME. TO
IDAHO COUNTY.
WILL ARRIVE IN FEBRUARY
Sixty Cows Of the Finest Breeding
Herd Bulls Of the Highest
Type.

In last week 3 issue of the Free Press
we spoke of the prospective purchase
OF the famous Armour herd of Here.
fords by Idaho county stockmen and
while the details of the enterprise as
yet have not been worked out we have
been informed by the prime mover.
that there is little question as to the
cattle coming here. A number of teie-
grams have passed between hete aud
Kansas City and the deal has p-ac.
tically been closed. The only question
at this time is as to the number o. men
who will be associated togethe- in the
enterprise, six already having agre I'd
to share in it but the opportunity tor
Others to become interested has been
left open for a few days
The cattle are the best bred in the
United States, the original herd having
been brought from England and each
year bulls of the finest type have been
imported, in fact the breeding of the
cattle is in the purple. The Armours
have spent money in most lavish way
in order to build up the finest lot of
Herefords in the country, being them
selves big hackers, they years ago saw
the necessity of supplying the cattle
men with an opportunity to get the
best to head their herds and for years
those who have been seeking improve
ment in their cattle have iourneyed
from all parts of the two continents to
secure choice breeders.
On account of the present home Of
these cattle having been taken into
the corporate limits of Kansas City,
the owners are compelled to seek new
locations or sell the stock and being de-
sirous of improving the cattle of the
west, have made an exceedingly attrac-
tive offer to the Idaho county men.
Some of the individuals have cost as
high as $4,000 and each and every
animal offered is an ideal type of the
class.
The Idaho county purchase will con-
sits of cows and heifers only and it will
be necessary to secure several bulls of
the highest breeding elsewhere. The
cattle will arrive some time in Febru-
ary and be taken to the Salmon
river country where an ideal ranch is
being negotiated for.
The bringing Of these cattle to Idaho
county will mean the biggest adver-
tisement for the stock business in the
world as purchases from all the great
cattle countries will come here from
time to time to secure choice bulls and
heifers. Those who are active in the
deal are Seth and VIM. Jones, Frank
Wyatt and VIM. Platt. A number of
others will no doubt join the boys in
the enterprise.

Build Another Vault.

On account Of the present cramped
condition of the present vault and the
increased number of records from year
to year that accumulate, it has been
found necessary to provide additional
room and a vault will be built to the
north of Treasurer Rice's office for
the use of the records Of this and the
assessors office.

GOV. RECEPTIVE
WOULD ACCEPT sECRETAHYsHIP
OF INFERIOR.
HAS STRONG SUPPORT
Visited at Washington and Fraternized
With Nations Big Men.

Governor James II. Hawley stands
in the light of receptive candidate
for secretary of the interior. When in
terviewed today, the governor authoriz.
ed this announcement. While not seek.
ing the office in that he is making a
campaign of any kind to secure the ap-
pointment, he would not refuse the
portfolio were it rendered to him by
President-elect Woodrow Wilson. The
governor, accompanied by State Land
Commissioner George A. Day, returned
yesterday from Washington, where
they had been successful in starting
in operation the federal machinery
which means the transfer of lien lands
in this state by the government to
Idaho, which have an approximate
value of $5O,OOO,OOO.
Statement as to Candidacy.
When interviewed today, and asked
whether or not he was receptive
candidate for secretary of the interior
Governor Hawley said:
"You can say that am, and that,
while l am not making campaign
for the appointment, still l believe
that western man will be selected,
and as my name has been connected
with the office, / have no hesitancy
in stating that I might be termed
receptive candidate.
The governor was recently indorsed
by the Boise Commercial club as
Idaho's candidate for the portfolio.
The resolution passed by the Boise club
called upon other clubs in this and
states to give their indorse
ment to him. Many have already
done so. When the fact was called to
his attention yesterday, Governor Haw-
ley said:
It became known today that the
governor has the staunch backing of
many men of prominence high in the
councils and they are urg-
ing his name to the president
They are powerful with the incoming
and it is claimed that
# the appointment comes to the west
it will go to the present governor of
Idaho. In view of the fact that Presi-
lent-elect Wilson was in Bermuda
while Governor Hawley was at Wash
ngton, Idaho's chief executive could
not hold conference with him. The
after left Washington just before the
'eturn to this country of the president
,lect. Friends of the Governor, how.
,ver, have the Washington situation
veil in hand, and will take an active
interest in behalf of the governor.
Land Matters Satisfactory.
