Have ENDED WAR
ILO AND vOLLMER CITIZENa
FINALLY GET TOGETHER
AGREEMENT SIGNED TUESDAY
Terms Provide for . Single Incorpora-
alton and New Name
for the Town

After warning for the past four
years, the towns Of Ilo and vollmer
have finally declared peace and in the
future will work as one. The agree
ment was signed Tuesday and the fol-
lowing dispatch sent out from the new
town, tells of the birth Of the young
ster.
An agreement reached today by
committees representing the towns Of
Vollmer and lilo gives every promise
that the long war between the two
communities has been brought to
close. The conference dealt with the
county seat situation, and by the agree
ment reached today 1lo will support
the candidacy Of vollmer in the CON-
ing election against Nezperce, the
present county seat. Ilo will have the
selection Of the site of the county seat
which shall be located within the town
of Vollmer. The agreement provides
further that the two towns shall be in
corporated as one and given q name
other than Ilo or Vollmer. BY the
terms reached the Vollmer citizens are
also to give bond in the sum Of $5,-
900 to insure faithful performance
of their part of the contract in the
event Vollmer is chosen for the county
seat in the coming election. This bond
is to be prepared and signed to morrow.
Those signing the agreement today in
behalf of Vollmer were: A. d. Greg
ory, Dr. E. L. Burke, H. d. Purdue and
G. Lehner. The Ilo citizens signing
the document were: E. Roefling, ].
Swindig, E. D. Leonard, w. l.. Lyon
and N. @. Kafoury. The decision
reached today is the elimination of
many conferences that have been in
progress for several months.
The results achieved today are large
ly accredited to the work of w. E.
Chapman and Rod Fiffer, farmers of
the Fletcher district, assisted by j.
!. Wood, the Ilo business man. The
agreement does not apply to school
matters, but it is felt that full harmony
will result on the school subject with
the carrying out of the plans decided
upon.

"Another injustice is worked by the

settlers in townships that are in the

"None of these settlers are on rec

any others are county commissioners,
or 'tcounty dads" as they are often
called because the relation they oc-
cupy to the public is very similar to
that of father towards the other men,
bers Of the family. Good men are
plentiful in Idaho county but good men
who would make good county commits
sioners are not so abundant as past
history teaches us. The democrats have
placed on their ticket three excellent
men, in fact if there is any better tim
Der in the county the people would like
to know it. Men who have made a
success of their personal business af
fairs are pretty safe men to have
conducting the business affairs of the
county.
From the first district "Nateo Pet
tibone is up for reelection. He has been
tried and tested during the past two
years, being chairman of the board
and stands on his record. A thorough
business man of middle age, ever alert
to the interest of the entire county, al
ways ready to hear your complaint and
give all matters due consideration, he
has demonstrated to the people that
as man to conduct the affairs of the
county he has no superior. Everybody
likes "Nate" Pettibone and every man
who has the real interests of the county
at heart is going to vote for him.
From the second district is VIM. M.
Schiller and all that has been said of
Mr.. Pettibone can truthfully be assert
ed Of Schiller. Schiller is sufficiently
familiar with the duties of the office
to make his service of even more value
the coming two years than it has been
in the past. He has not favored one
section of the county over another
and we have yet to meet the man who
says a word against Schiller. 1t takes
backbone to make a good commissioner
and also a man with some breadth of
mind who will treat all sections alike
and not be narrow or allow his personal
views to enter into county business
And "Bill" Schiller is just such man
He is as common as an cold shoe" and
if you have any business you wish to
have brought before the board, Schil

commissioner for you; keep him there
Every word we have said of these
gentlemen, We believe will receive the
hearty endorsement of John NJ.
Rice, the third member of the
present board, who while republican
is not SO partisan as to not recognize
the true worth and excellent qualifica.
tions of his colleagues.
The Salmon river people, who com.
prise the third district, have brought
out erich" Nash for commissioner
from that section and in presenting
him do SO feeling that he is the right
type OF man to fill the office. Nash
has lived in that section of the coun.
try for years, has grown up with the
country and endured the hardships with
his neighbors. He is thoroughly famil.
lar with every foot of Idaho county,
ar excellent business man, a success
in life, honest, broad minded and con.
servative. He has a mind of his own
and any act of his will be due to care.
full and deliberate judgment for Nash
cannot be made the tool of others. The
election of Nash would be a strong
factor in the care Of the people IS inter
ests. From all reports his candidacy
is meeting with the most encouraging
endorsement.
Taken all in all the people of Idaho
county have an exceptional opportunity
to vote for three most excellent men
whose ability is matter of record for
their public servants.
Coroner
The office of county coroner is
sought by Edward M. Hancock, a H.
censed undertaken and embalmer, who
is thoroughly familiar with the duties
Of the office, and can be depended upon
to give entire satisfaction when called.
Mr.. Hancock has always been faith
full party worker and should receive
every democratic vote.

In six years in the United States
Senate Senator Borah has done nothing
for Northern Idaho except secure the
passage of the three year homestead
bill. 1t is his only claim to the support
of Northern Idaho, and if the condi-
tions it imposes and if the manner in
which it favors the speculator and
bars the poor man from q homestead
were generally known, Senator Borah
would no more dare to father it and
come before the people Of Idaho for
reelection than he dares tell the voters
who he will support for president.
The following letter from home.
steader pictures the conditions Of the
act and shows the bar Senator Borah
has raised to honest endeavor and in
favor of spectators and wealthy in
vestOrs.
Calispel, Wash, Sept. 13.-Caroline
s. Moore Of this town gives her views
on the new homestead law and it's eff
feet on those actually trying to secure
homes in her section of the state as
follows:
The country in which live is about
one-third taken up in forest reserve /;
in the remainder are hundreds of home
steaders who are engaged in hard
struggle to acquire homes. The soil
is fertile and productive, but the land
requires clearing of brush or small tim
ber or alders. As l have talked with
homesteaders in the past few weeks, l
find only one opinion expressed-that
it is impossible for man, unless he has
considerable means, to meet the re-
quirements of the new law, as regards
cultivation. In some cases men have
been from seven to ten years on their
places and have not yet cleared the
amount required. They are hard-work-
ing, frugal men. They have been oblig-
ed to work away from home every year
in order to support their families. They
are not able to hire help to assist in
clearing lanu and it is impossible for
one man working alone to clear the
amount required by the new law. Con-
ditions are very different now than in
years past, when the land homesteaded
was all good, and man could soon be
making his living from his homestead.
GA man may have a piece of alder
covered land on which he could turn a
few sheep and in few years the land
would be in shape for cultivation and
he would be ahead the value of the
wool and mutton raised, or there may

The candidacy of M. Reese Hatta-

his election is only matter Of the
size of the majority. Mr.. Hattabaugh,
who has been in the public eye of the

western born and young man of whom
we are all proud. His character is be-

ed citizen he occupies well forward
place. Not of the sensational type but
rather reserved and dignified, the elec-
tion of this man to the office of public
prosecutor will bring to it full meas
ure of accomplishments. As a lawyer
AID gentleman he has few equals and
no peers.
School Superintendent.
The election of Reuben w. Overman
to the office of county superintendent
means the raising substantially of the
standard Of the schools of Idaho coun-
ty and the imbuing of teachers and pu-
pills with desire for greater efforts.
Mr.. Overman is thorough educator, a
graduate of the state university Of Ida
no and had two years at Ann Arbor. He
was superintendent Of the Genesee
schools for two years and later assist
ant superintendent of the schools at
Boise. His ability along educational
lines is well recognized and he is thor
oughly familiar with the needs Of the
schools. His election will bring to the
office the greatest assistance that could
possibly be extended to Idaho county
schools. He is thoroughly conversant
with modern educational ideas and has
had years of practical experience in
school work.
The Probate Judge
Judge James DeHaven, who has
served the county as probate judge dur
ing the past two years, is admittedly
the most efficient official that office
has had for many years. He is well
versed in the law and has administered
the affairs of his office in such a man,
ner as to secure the endorsement of not
only the members of his own party but
many from the opposition as well, who
have learned by experience and years
Of association with him, of his ma.
ture judgment and splendid legal know
ledge. No matter how busy he may be
Judge DeHaven always has time and
is always at the service of the public
on any question as regards the affairs
of the probate court.
