HARRIS WINS IN
FIGHT FOR RECEIVER

There are four democrats in Ida
no who do not look upon Friday as
being an unlucky day. for on last
Friday President Wilson dropped a
$4,000 a year plum into each Of their
laps. sThS lucky ones were Chas. f.
Harris of this city. who was named
as receiver of the land office at
llBlackfootI John f. Williams Of
Irwin Falls, for register. and VIM.
IE. Hews of Glenn's Ferry, for re-
tceiver of the HALEY land office. and
former us. Senator Henry Heit-
field for receiver of the Lewiston
land office.
In these appointments both fac
tions Of the democratic party In this
state were recognized. As is well
known, Heitfeld Is a warm personal
friend of Fred T. Dubois. and he
had the solid backing of Dubois and
his followers for any government
position that might show up. vii.
liams is. also said to belong to the
Dubois-Hawley- Perky faction, and
!, he won ont over w. B. George Of
HALEY. who was endorsed by the
Nugent- Elder faction.
Hews Is reported to have been o
strong Nugent-Elder man. He has
. been publishing a newspaper al
Glenn's Ferry for several years and
for that reason he was entitled e
the plum, no matter with which fac
3 tion he trained. The history Of th'
B Blackfoot contest Is well known q

CHAIRMAN HILLES
ISSUES STATEMENT

Charles L. Hilles, chairman of
the republican national committee
has issued statement under author
ity of the national committee to the
republican conventions in the sew
eral states submitting to them for
their ratification the action of the
national committee in Washington.
This action provides for the selec-
tion Of delegates by primaries and
reduces the representation in re-
publican national conventions by SO
votes, effective chiefly in the South
ern states.
Under the terms of the resolution
of the committee the membership of
of the national convention of 1916
cannot be based upon this represen-
tation unless prior to Jan. l, 1915,
the action of the committee is rat
flied in such number of states as are
entitled to cast a majority of the
votes in the present electoral college.
i The statement issued, which was
prepared by Charles B. Warren
of Michigan; William E. Borah, OF
, Idaho, and Governor Henry D. Hat
. field, of West Virginia, states that
the committee appointed to presen
the proposed plan to the state con
ventions believes it desirable from
! every point Of view that the actor
of the national committee be ratifiet
land made effective.
Il The basis proposed for the elec
ton of delegates, says the report
assures the states having the great
: est number of republican voters
larger proportion of voting strengt
q IN the supreme council of the party
and by the changes made in tn
"a rules the way is open for the sepal
4 ate states to enact laws for tn
II election of delegates in primar
= elections, and for the majority {

3 to elect delegates who will voice tt

PLANT TROUT FRY In
MONTPELIER CREEK

Tuesday morning 30,O00 Rrinbow
trout fry were received here from
the Warm River hatchery. The
shipment was accompanied by Geo.
Isaacs, state fish culturist, who as
sisted Charlie Gaskins and Charlie
Hager in planting them in Mont
pelier creek, about ten miles up the
Montpelier canyon.
It has been suggested that the
sportsmen of Montpelier should
get together and construct a fish
pond up the creek, where these fry
could be deposited until they arr
large enough to protect themselves
in the creek. There is said to be /
splendid site for a pond at what i
known as the big elbow. Our in
formant stated that it would not re
quire much labor or material t
make it an ideal place for planting
fry, and he suggested the fisherme
of Montpelier ought to be intereste
enough in the matter to donate sui
ficient funds to have the place fixe
up. 1t would only require the !;

R. STORATION OF
TRADE CURRENTS
VOTED IN TREASURY STATE.
MENT, WHICH SHOWS ESTAB-
MENT OF BALANCE.

WASHINGTON, Nov. .3.-Restora-
ton of many trade currents and es-
tablishment of a substantial export
balance by American commerce in
October Is indicated by statements is
sued by the treasury department.
Photographic reports from cities which
handle about rs per cent of the coun'
try's export trade show that from Oc-
tober S to 81, inclusive, trade bal
ance of more than $33,000000 was es-
tablished.
If figures from the remaining ports
show the same proportions, the Octo'
Der gain over the export balance will
amount to more than $17,000,0OO. Part
Of the increase was ascribed to cotton
shipments, which had been almost
suspended by the European upheaval
During the week ending October %
1908 bales Of cotton were exported
On last Thursday alone 43,903 bales
were sent abroad.

WEARING HOOPS
WEALTHY, BUT RETAINS GIRL.
HOOD FASHIONS TO ATTRACT
PRESENT DAY HOBBIES.

GLOVERSVILLE, N. Y, Nov. g.
Mrs. PAMELA Shaw, Sc years old, said
to be the oldest Universalist church
member in New York state, arrived
here from Binghampton as a dele
gate to the Universalists' state con,
vention. She made the trip of more
than 200 miles entirely alone.
Mrs. Shaw is a woman of the old
school and is particularly averse to
present day fashions. Wealthy and
able to indulge in any luxury she de
sires, a devotee of the automobile
and the theatre a lover of all out OF
door sports and a leader in many so
cial activities, she still retains her
preference for the styles of her girl
hood.
She obtained appointment as dele
gate to the church convention solely
for the purpose of appearing before
the body in her bonnet, black silk
dress and hoop skirt Of over fifty
years ago and which she still affects
on all occasions, and to urge on the
floor Of the convention the condemna
ton of the slit skirt, hobble and X-ray
and other present day styles.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Credit
loans by American banks to belliger-

will not interpose their influence
against such transactions.
This was learned on the highest
authority today after it became
known that German financiers were
contemplating establishment OF a
credit loan in this country similar to
the s10,OOO,0OO credit fund negotiated
by the National City Bank Of New

NEW YORK, Nov. Peace in
the baseball world is about one year
distant.
Both sides yearn for peace. They
want peace right now. But at this
time conditions are such there can
not be peace unless one side or the
other makes concessions. And Meth
er side is willing to do this.
Organized baseball doesn't think
that the Feds have forced it into a
position where it should make any i'm
portant concessions to the Feds. Or
ganized baseball is willing right now
to take the Feds under its wing and
give the Federal League a big minor
league status. The Feds refuse to
listen to such a plan.
The Feds believe they have fore
ed Organized Baseball against the,
wall and that it is only matter Of
time before they will have Organized
Baseball prone upon the concrete and
cling for mercy. Feeling thus, it
isn't at all likely that the Feds will
give up the fight until they have sue
ceeded in their campaign-the sub
DUNG Of Organized Baseball.
In both factions there are magnates
who are willing to make peace right
now at the best terms possible, But
these magnates are in the minority
and the majority rules.
There is no denying the fact thai
the Feds seem to hold the whir
hand right now. Peace, of course
would mean much to them right now
but continuance Of war means less
harm for them tsan it does to Organ
lied Baseball. The Feds have mos
of their players under three veal
iron-olad contracts. In war or peac
they will have to pay the salarie:
those contracts call for. The Feds
have all their players hooked up t.
contracts that are of such kind tina
Organized Baseball cannot steal ava,
their players.
With Organized Baseball, howev.
er, the situation is different. Some
thing like fifty or sixty if the bes
players in Organized Baseball hat
contracts that expired at the end o
the 1914 season. Those fellows didn'
get any princely salaries under thei
old contracts and since the end o
the season they have been firtinl
with the FEDS, which would meai
making a mighty high bid.

The past month of October was one
of the most lovely Octobers that we
have had in many years, according to
the meteorological records of Mrs.

or observer at Ashwood.
1t was month of balmy &mrera-
lures, gentle winds, pleasant nights, a
fair amount of rain, little cold wealth.
or, clear autumn days, and of but one
real frost
The mean temperature for the
month was above the average. The
average for the past several years has
been 5S.5 degrees, but this October it
was 64,4 degrees, nearly five degrees
warmer. The maximum heat was SO
degrees on October 10, while the min.
imum was "a degrees on October g.
the morning of the killing frost
There was but very little variation
in temperature except the latter part
of the month, when the temperature
fell very considerably and there was
really winter weather.
The rainfall was a bit above the
general average, about one-fifth of an
inch. The amount Of precipitation
was 2.S2 inches, during the entire
thirty-one days.
The number Of days on which rain
fell was s, the number Of clear days
was II, Of partly cloudy days Is, and
Of entirely cloudy days 5. The pre-
vailing direction Of the wind during
the month was southerly.
The wild geese were seen going
south for the first time on the last
day of the month, October 81. This
is sure harbinger of the coming OF
winter.

MAURY DELEGATION
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
REMAINS UNCHANGED


state democratic ticket Neither
Long nor Denton received as large
vote or anything like the majority
that they got two years ago. Howev.
er, in that contest Hooper carried the
county.
The striking popularity of the in.
dependent candidates in their home
districts was again shown. At Mt
Pleasant Long led the ticket, receiv.
ing not only larger vote than any
candidate for the legislature, but run
ming away with Hooper. In the fifth
district, where Denton lives, he made
a perfect run away. At both pre-
cincts of that district he received a
vote that was flattering in the ex
IRENE. The high standing of the
democratic candidates was also
shown in their good leads at home
Hill at Mt. Pleasant ran second and
Russell in his home territory ran
ahead of the democratic ticket
The result in the legislative races
caused little surprise. 1t had been
conceded by well informed forecast
ers for some time that Church, Den
ton and Long would be elected. Very
few even of the most intense regular
democrats expected Hill and Russell
to be elected. They had to face al
adverse majority of two years ago Of
nearly 700. They were handicapped
by lack of acquaintance over the
county. Again they had for oppon
ents two of the best known and most
popular citizens Of the county, who
had served with credit in the legisla
ture.
Church's majority was a surprise
even to his most ardent partisans
While never doubling the senator's
election, few believed that his ma
jority would be much larger than thai
given Rye in the county. While his
vote did not equal that Of the gallant
young standard bearer Of the party
the opposition did not take to the
Lewis county opponent and the ma
jority was swelled.
Maury county's legislative delega
ton will be unchanged. This is some
thing that has not happened in gen
Grafton or more. The members Of
the house have been frequently re
! elected and occasionally the senator
I has been sent back, but this is the
first time in many years where both
senator and representatives have
been returned.
