HAINES AHEAD
BY Y VOTES
Received Plurality Of All First Choice
Votes Over Clagstone- His
Total Vote 1882
GLADSTONE is A GOOD LOSER
Will Not Run For Governor On the
Progressive Ticket

According to the official canvass
by counties of the vote for govern
or on the republican ticket at the
July primaries, John M. Haines
leads Paul Clagstone by u votes.
Haines was given a total OF 1852
first and second choice votes and
Clagtone a total of 1890 first and
second choice votes. On first
choice votes Haines had a plurality
over Clagstone of All, but this was
cut down by the second choice
votes to II. Until the final returns
were received it seemed possible
that the combination of first and
second choise for Clagstone would
altogether wipe out his chief oppo-
nent's lead and give him the nom
nation.
Following the announcement
that Haines had been nominated
as governor, state chairman of the
progressive party, ]. H. GIBSON,
of Caldwell, Ida, gave it out that
the progressive party would place
a state ticket, headed by Paul
Clagstone, in the field at once.
According to Gipson the ticket
tentatively agreed upon is as fol-
lows: Congressman, Robert Nc
Cracker; governor, Paul Clagstone;
lieutenant governor, Charles Demp-
ster; secretary of state, l.. M. Early;
attorney general, H. c.. Martin;
state treasurer, w. d. McReynolds.
A candidate for state auditor
will be selected by the central COM
mittee.
The placing of Clagstone at the
head of the progressive ticket was
evidently done without consulting
him for in an interview given out
Wednesday he had the following
to say: A great many progressives
prominent in the movement have
suggested my name as a possible
candidate for the governorship
this fall. However, l feel that !
entered the race in the primaries
as a straight out Roosevelt pro-
gressive and did my best to win OH
this issue and nearly succeeded
Having apparently lost by a very
narrow margin, l feel that must
abide by the result and under nc
circumstances shall accept the
nomination for governor this fall
on the third party ticket"

Donaldson said that in Standpoint
some OF the buildings were IS
inches below the sidewalk grade
but that all the property owners
seemed to be glad that the street
grades had been established.
E. E. Fry, chairman of the
board, told that he believed that
one objection the property owners
had to the construction of side
walks was that they believed that
they had to pay the whole cost of
construction at once. Mr.. Fry
explained that the law provided
that the board might order in the
walks and might make the con-
tractor doing the work accept FIVE
year bonds in lieu of money and
that in this way the property own
ers could pay as they wished any
time during the five years.
Several property owners were
present at the meeting of the board
and all who responded to the invi-
tation of the board to express their
views in regard to the proposed
improvement told that they were
in favor of having the new side
walks built.

WILL BUILD
CEMENT WALKS
Village Board Decides to Proceed
With lmprov ~ment Of Main Street
Near Engineers Reports
One REMONSTRANCE WAS FILED
Contractor Will Guarantee Walks to
Last Five Years

A special meeting of the village
board of trustees was held Wednes-
day night for the purpose of hear
ing such protests as might be made
against the proposed construction
of cement sidewalks on Main
street. A remonstrance signed by
II property owners had been filed
with the board. After thorough
discussion and after having heard !
opinions expressed by engineers
in regard to the feasibility of the
project, the board decided, unani
mously, to proceed with the inn
provement as mapped out in reso-
lutions passed at a previous meet
ing.
The remon STRANGE presented to
Athe village trustees was signed by
Mary A. Carlton, A. ]. Kent, w.
L. Kinnear, J. I. Monks, The
Idaho Meat Market Co., John
Walden, c.. H. Alberts, +. B.
Moore, Anna B. Bishop, Dell Cane,
S. +. Henry and Sookee and reads
as follows:
ITO the Honorable Board of
Trustees of the Village of Boomers
Ferry
We, the undersigned citizens
and property owners, owning pro-
perty on Main street in Boomers
Ferry, Idaho, protest against being
compelled to construct cement side
walks along and in front of our
property for the following reasons,
to-wit:
/. That said walks would be ex-
pensive in this, that it is imprac-
teal to construct said walks with
out driving piling for back wall
10 maintain said walk.
2. That in the construction of
building on said lots the walks
would be destroyed, providing the
retaining wall was not built in the
manner herein mentioned.
8. That some of our buildings
are below grade and would not
stand moving without a great ex-
pense.
The board discussed the three
reasons given for the opposition to
the construction of cement side
walks, separately. Contractor
Donaldson informed the board that
he would guarantee that the walks
he might construct would last for
at least FIVE years and that the re-
tanning wall would not, in any
way, interfere with the driving of
the piling for foundations of such
new buildings as might be con-
structed. Engineer Simonds stat
81 that the vibration from the
driving of piling would not in any
way affect the cement sidewalks
adjoining if the walks had been
properly laid. He said that the
driving of the piling for the Moore
Bros. building had not i'll any way
injured the cement sidewalks in
front of the Enterprise building
In speaking of the construction of
the cement sidewalks Mr.. Donald
son told that the best of walks
could be laid in Boomers Ferry for
about So. 20 per running foot and
that if the work was given to one
contractor it might be done
cheaper.
In regard to the fact that the
new sidewalk grades would place
some buildings above and some
below the level of the sidewalk the
board was informed that this wa:
no great difficulty and had to be
met in every town where stree
grades were established, Mr.

OFFER RICHES

Swlndlsrs At Madrid, Spain, Appeal to
Cupidity Of Local Chinese Laun-
dryman, Jim Lee
WOULD GIVE CELESTIAL $4,000
Old Method of Swindling Still In
0peration-Use Mails

For the past rs years a gang of
swindlers have operated from Mad
rid, Spain, and have, it is said,
grown wealthy by inducing easy
marks all over the world to part
with their hardearned cash
through the medium of cleverly
written letters which are intended
to appeal to the the cupidity of the
addressed. Some of these letters
have been received at intervals in
nearly every community of the
United States but up-to-date, Jim
Lee, one of Boomers Ferry's laun
drymen, has the distinction of be-
ing the first Celestial whom the
Spanish con" men have tried to
work.
Jim Lee thinks the letter he re-
received is good joke and has
had lots of fun in showing it to
both his American friends and his
eountrymen. The letter was re-
ceived Monday and reads as fol-
lows:
Prison of Madrid, 81, 7, II
Mr.. Jim Lee:

mother, Mrs. May Lee, gave me,

advance the necessary funds to ac-
quire my baggage seized.

tied to receive public correspon
dence but you can send cahlegram

The letter is written in ink by

that many have been enveigled il
