To the voters of Clearwater county,
Idaho:
In coming before the people Of this
county as q candidate for the office of
auditor | feel it my duty to make my
self entirely clear to you in regard to
matters pertaining to my office. Ii |
am elected | promise good business
administration of the affairs of the
office; also strict enforcement of the
laws pertaining to. the office, especial
ly in regard to the furnishing of alb
stracts to all persons requesting them,
and at lawful price.
would consider it my duty to ex-
anime all bills before they were pre-
sented to the commissioners, and make
notation of any overcharge occurring
on the same. In this way no bills
would ever get by the commissioners
at ten times the lawful rate. / be-
lieve that every official should guard
the peoples money just the Same as
if it were his own; and when he fails
to do SO he should be removed. 1t
has been charged against me that ]
have already promised deputyships to
men who are democrats. If elected
to this Office my deputies will be hon.
est, capable men qualified for the
work, and they will be republicans.
am not seeking the Office at the
behest Of any ring or clique, ard if
am elected l will administer the
affairs of the office in favor of no one
individual, but fairly and justly t.
all the people of the county.
Yours Respectfully,
Adv. j. w. RODGERS.

side is that it was all ruinor end eas-
pieion, and II was possible an inias-
tice was being done MIR. Allen. This
paper preferred to take no chances.
We warned the people to vote for
Eagleson. And it shows that the peo-
Pile can trust the Clearwater RcpuA
lican.
But there are other lessons for the
people. Governor Haines at once set
in motion an investigation. When
the facts justified it he, as governor.
instead of trying to whitewash or
cover up republican candidate,
proceeded to protect the people. It
ought to inspire confidence in Cover
nor Haines. The people can trust
him. That he has the courage to do
his duty let us refer little farther
back when he, as governor, discharg-
ed or removed the state pure food
commissioner, powerful Mormon,
for official misconduct.
Let us bring the Allen lesson homo
to Clearwater county. Docs it not
show the wisdom of the people keep
ing in touch with their officials?
Should it not warn the taxpayers of
Clearwater county that the county re-
cords and every county office should
be investigated and the books expert
ed? The investigation should be
thorough. 1t should be an honest in
vestigation. Remember this county
has been in the hands of gang, and
that business has been rotten. The
republicans will have no reason for
covering up crooked business, or pro-
tecting county officials, or deceiving
the people. A democratic investiga-
tion of county records and four years
of gang business would be a farce.
They would do it about as honestly as
they handled the Nease cruise. If
the people are to have their county
records exported, they want to klow
it is reliable job.

VOTE YOUR APPRECIATION.

Hundreds of people have said to US
that they appreciated the fight the
Republican had made for the people of
this county. But the way to show
your appreciation is to go to the polls
on November 8 and by your ballot sup
port the men this paper is supporting.
What will it all avail, after eleven
months of sacrifice and toll and strug-
gle, without financial support to meet
the cost, compelled to borrow and beg
to carry on the fight for principle, if
the people endorse the men and the
party that has wronged and outraged
the people? Someone has said that
Joel Wilson, democratic candidate for
county commissioner in the first dis
trict, is all right, and it is reported
that some republicans Of Weippe will
vote for Mr.. Wilson simply because
he is local man. And yet these re-
publicans would be shocked if some
one should tell them that they are not
in sympathy with the Clearwater Re-
publican. and propose to vote against
the paper that has made republican
victory possible. Perhaps we should
say, paper that has made it possible
for the people to overthrow gang rule
and Blake domination. Surely this
paper has earned vote of confidence
from the people of Clearwater county.
And you propose to show it by vot.
ing for Mr.. Wilson or for Frank Ze.
lenka or Mr.. Woods for county com.
missioner.
Joel Wilson may be good man,
but has he helped clean up Clearwater
county. II elected will he stand by
the Clearwater Republican or by his
own paper, the Tribune? Does he
endorse the democratic record of ex.
travagance or does he condemn it? Il
he with or against Zelenka methods
and Tammany methods of doing bust
ness? If he is not in sympathy with
the democratic record Of the past -four
years why does he loan his personal
influence to movement to retain Mr..
Zelenka and the court house gang in
power?
If the people are in sympathy with
the Republican, and deisre to show it,
vote it. If the people will not STANG
by paper that stands by the people
then it is waste of time for any pa.
per to fight for the people. Is il
asking too much to suggest that ths
people give US vote of confidence by
electing republican county board?

DON'T VOTE FOR ALLEN.

Nothing shows the sincerely and
reliability Of the Clearwater Republic
can better than the position this paper
took in regard to State Treasurer O.
v. Allen. The Republican warned
the people, and urged the nomination
of John w. Eagleson. We did not
allow party prejudices to keep US sill
ent. We did not try to shield can
didate on our ticket. We heard ugly
rumors and we did not think the peo-
pie should again elect Mr.. Allen un-
less his Office was Investigated and
the matter cleaned up. The other

people have been informed by the
democrats themselves? Would the
orotno Tribune have protected the
people? More than this the Tribune
is the oft.cial organ of the democrats
who ecrdemn the Blakes, and vet the
Tribune endorses the four years of
Blake gang raie, Pat ard jim aid all
the rottea mess. Ard the democratic
candidates today endorse the Tribune.
s. A vote for the democratic beard
of county commissioners is a vote for
two years more Of the Orofino Tribune
and fat printing contracts.
8. -Four years of democratic rule
that became so rotten il fell Of it's
own weakness under the light OF eS-
posture, 50 raw and extravagant it
could not stand the light Of publicity !;
50 rank it outraged the sense Of d.
cency Of FL good citizens, and this
foul mess is endorsed by the democra-
tic organ, and the democratic county
candidates, and tie people are asked
to continue the democratic party in
power in Clearwater county.
10. -Four years Of democratic rule
and tire peoples money has been Jug
gled for the benefit Of John P. Voll-
mer and the Fidelity bank. Remem-
Der that the exposure Of this paper
the first O. the year, when out of more
than sl25,C0o Of county funds only
some S25, 000 was drawing interest.
About s65, eco was in Vollmer )
bank while the taxpayers of Clear
water county were drawing no interest
fer this money. At the same time
the peoples warrants, much of which
was held by the Fidelity bank, YVES
costing the people per cent interest,
and the banks were using the people S
money and paying nothing. The facts
as then published by the Clearwater
Republican have never been denied.
When we protested County Commits
sioner Zelenka sdefended Blair Hoar,
and his manner Of doing business,
while Hoar, in response to request
to explain his deposits, assaulted the
editor of the Republican. We had no
desire to wrong the county officers.
Before we published a thing we went
to the county board and had them get
Mr.. Hoar, and made an effort to ar
rive at the facts. If there was any
thing wrong Frank Zelenka, demo-
cratic county commissioner, and a
candidate for reelection, gave this
paper no help in protecting the in
terests of the people.
II. Four years of democratic rule
and county business is done under
Tammany system. Open bidding has
been Discouraged. The county board
has done public business in the only
way that graft can be successfully
carried on. If the county board
wanted to rob and graft the people
business would have to be done in ex-
actly the way it has been done by
Frank Zelenka. Frank Zelenka bought
road culvert in exactly the way Tam
many bought supplies. The Nease
cruise was let in exactly the way
Tammany grafters let public contracts
and grated. And Frank Zelenka has
contracted for county printing in the
only way that it is possible to graft,
and in exactly the way that Tammany
did public business when it wanted te
graft and did graft.

FACTS FOR TAXPAYERS.

!. Clearwater county has been in
. the har DIS of the democratic party for
almost four years.
2. Clearwater county, withott any
substantial Improvements: without 4
court house, ard without any unusual
expenditures for permanent improve
ments, is badly in debt. This is
painfully true. Clearwater County
ought to be on cash basis. but ii is
from $50, COG to 800, 600 in debt. w
say from because only the coed
Lord knows how much the county does
owe. In order to make showing for
campaign purposes, the credit eli the
county has been used the future mort
gagged, a burden that the people must
eventually pay, saddled on the shoul-
ders of the people. And this debt
will cost the taxpayers seven per cent.
On top of this the gang wanted to mn
in debt for q new court house, ard did
waste thouanGs for the benefit Of Pat
Blaze s pets for a timber cruise. We
mean the cruise is costing Thousands
of dollars more than it should, there
IS Germans re-cruise yet to be ac-
counted for. This is the way county
business is being conducted, ard has
been for four years under democratic
rule.
3. Four years of democratic rule
and county business, instead Of being
handled in a way to protect the peo-
pie, is done in a way that costs enor-
mously more than it should. Con-
tracts are let without open bidding.
They are peddled behind closed doors.
Democratic county ofiic ials have squan-
dered hundreds of dollars ''joy rid
ing over the country on the pretext
OF looking after public interests.
That was how the democrats "dis-
covered this man Nease, and gave
him large and costly contract with
out competition, at an enormous fg-
ure.
4. Democratic county officials
have violated the law. They have
refused and neglected to file itemized
expense accounts; they have sold sup
plies to the county; they have filed
illegal quarterly reports Of their Off
cial business.
5. -Four years of democratic coun-
ty government and all bootleggers
have flourished, with apparently no
effort to stop them, or even interfere
with their business. Only last winter
Judge Steele recognized this fact, and
condemned conditions in Clearwater
county under democratic county Off
cials.
6. Four years of democratic rule
and the people have been outraged to
find more than one of these county Off
Gals addicted to the excessive use of
booze, and more than one of the coun-
ty offices have on various occasions
been used for drunken carousals, a
stencil in the nostrils of those who
had occasion to visit these offices on
business. People have said: From
the smell l thought l was in a sa-
loon,'
Z. Four years of democratic rule
and conditions were SO rotten that
they were intollerable and indefensa-
BILE, and the democrats have admitted
it. And who exposed it? Who, then,
is entitled to the credit? Suppose
this paper had kept silent, would the

a few like Brooke, who loved him
better than anybody in the world, be-
cause he knew they knew the story,
and that it was always being told be-

to you. So for lack Of individual
friends he made a friend Of the whole

and places and books and races of

he disappeared entirely. Summer
passed and winter and summer again,
and then one day, late in November,
Crichton turned up once more in New
York. He went to his hotel and ask
ed for a letter which was awaiting
his arrival. once in his room he tore
off the envelope and re-read the short
note many times. This was all it
said:
Dear Mr.. Crichton-I shall be
glad to see you any afternoon after
five, as l am nearly always at home
then to give my friends a cup of tea,
1t is good to know that you are about
starting in this direction. Sincerely
yours, Margaret Ferguson"
Late that afternoon he was stand
ing in front of the FIRE in the draw
ing-room of the Ferguson home, and
Miss Ferguson was sitting behind the
teacups, looking, at least SO erich
ton thought, much more beautiful
than she looked that day he had first
met her almost two years before.

SHOWS
MRS. ALLEN LEFT
NEARLY MILLION

Showing that she left real and per-
sonal property amounting in value to
almost one million dollars, an inven-
tory of the estate of Mrs. Bathsheba
NJ. Allen was filed in the circuit court
this morning, sworn to by A. N.
Campbell, H. H. Walker and ]. L.
Fleming, the three appraisers appoint
ed by Judge Whitney.
The greater part of Mrs. Aliens
estate is represented by personal pro-
perry, though the value of the real
estate is set at $157,300. The stocks,
bonds, notes, and all other personal
property. except money in hands of
the executors and in banks, which
amounts to $S5,S73.92, is given total
value of $73O,944.43. - ~
On the death of Mrs. Allen, whose
generous but quiet philanthropy COW
cred long period of years and reach
ed into many circles of the needy, and
to charitable homes and institutions,
the value of ner estate was not ac-
curately known. Giving freely and
always to ones deserving of help, even
those most intimate with Mrs. Allen
did not know how her philanthropy
had affected her estate. It remained
for the inventory to be flied to show
this. ...=rE
Her will, which is now under pro.
bate, reflects the generosity of her
nature. While the instrument is an
exceedingly lengthy one, its length is
made necessary by the many be-
quests made to relatives, friends and
charitable schools and homes That
the estate is large enough to sustain
all the requests is shown by the in.
Ventory. -.
Several valuable pieces of real es-
tate belonged to Mrs. Allen and are
now included in her estate. Property
on Kewalo street, above Wilder ave-
nue., having an area of 54S acres, is
one of the pieces described 1t is
valued at $25,000 The three pieces
of land with the improvements on
Richard street, Eva side above King,
are valued at $4,000. He land On
South Kona, Hawaii, is appraised at
5000, and the two pieces at Kaneo-
he, Oahu, at $4,000. In addition to
this there are numerous parcels Of
land owned by her and of smaller val
ue. Her investments in stocks are
shown to have been varied Her in
terest in the E. W. Jordan & Com
pany amounted to 677 shares of a.
value of $5O,T75. In the Oahu Railway
& Land Company she held 100 shares
of the value of $23,940. Many per
scnal notes and bills payable are
noted.
