PARTLY DESTROYED
BY FIRE

Fire, Thursday evening partly destroy
ed the house occupied by H. D.Lain
on 18th street. A hole was burned in
the roof and some of the partitions
ar a cupboard were damaged. The
Latin family was fortunate in be
ing able to remove all Of their fur
niture. The furniture was slightly
damaged by being scratched.
The house is owned by John Lin
derman and was insured. There was
no insurance on the furniture.
defective chimney is thought
to be responsible for the fire. Mrs.
Lain had started fire in the stove
and then taken the baby out in a
carriage to put it to sleep. Return
ing to the house she found it full
of smoke. Neighbors worked with
pals and had the fire pretty well
under control when the fire depart
ment arrived.

Although competing against the

Of the most coveted awards offered
at some of the most important fairs
and expositions of the Middle West.
AT ST. Joseph, Missouri, last week,
herds and flocks owned by Badger
state breeders contested with care
fully chosen and primely fitted ex-
hibits from Missouri, Nebraska and
other of the middle western and
southwestern states.
Win Honors in Hot Contest.
The Shorthorn contest at the Mis-
souri, fair was one of the best show
ings Of this noted British breed that
has been seen in recent years. At
leafs four Of the Leasing beef produc-
ing states were represented by herds,
but the larger proportion of the
best prizes were captred by Anoka
Farms, Waukesha County, of which
Frank Harding, president Of the A
merican ShOrthorn Breeders AssOcia-
ton, is the proprietor. The Anol1a
winnings included three champion
ships, five first and a very liberal

made the senior and grand champ
ion of the show and a stablemate, Viii

premier honors among the aged bulls
exhibited.
Another Wisconsin firm, Fox Bro

we'll with Guernseys. Their winnings
included II firsts six seconds, two
thirds and every championship avail

bfted by them, were pronounced the
outstanding features of the entire
display of this noted Channel Island
breed.

PRIMARY ELECTION SEPT 1

Primary election day comes only
a week from next Tuesday. The
polls yill be opened at 10 o'clock in
the morning, and remain open until
|8 o'clock at night-opening two
Eours later and closing one hour
later than under the old law. For
the first time, Richfield will have
two sets of judges; one set to take
in the ballots, and the other set to
count them as fast as five votes
have been cast. 1t will be possible
to have the full returns within
few minutes after the polls close,
under the new system. 1t isn't ex-
actly new system, either, except
for the hours; there should have
been two sets of judges at the
last general election, as the regis
tration showed that the vote was
large enough to demand it under
the law. But you will be able to
have the full count within a few
minutes after the polls close, this
year.

man and woman who works for
what is received, and who feels that
public office should be a public
trust.
Mr.. Lewis had so little time at
his disposal that it was impossible
to call public meeting as had
been desired, to give the people a
chance to meet him; but he ex-
pressed himself as intending to
come back here after the primar-
les. AS a practical farmer. he
talked most keenly on the land an
crop prospects here. He is vitally
alive to the nee1s of Carey Act
lands-he has 100 acres of such
land down on the North Side tract,
between Wendell and Jerome--an
some of the awful blunders that
have slipped through the land board
could never get through him as a
man who really knows.
From every indication, Mr.. Lew
is will get about three out of every
four republican votes on the Rich
field tract; three times as many as
both the other candidates together
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1914-08-20

From every indication, Lincoln county
will go so strongly for Aishie and Lew
is that if their report could get in first
as suggestive of the whole state, every
body would go home and give it tc
these two candidates by about three to
one. The two men have not uuited in
the slightest degree in their campaign,
but their aims and qualities of citizen
ship are so nearly alike as to appeal to
the same class of voters everywhere.
Lincoln county was never for Haines,
either in the nomination or in the cleo
ton; he was shamefully, scandalously
beaten in both elections in 1912 There
has been nothing to increase his popu-
larity, while not few things have
TASTEFUL and it is predicted that the
present county of Lincoln, only one
third the size of the Lincoln county of
1912, will roll up almost as big ma
jority against him as did the big county
in 1912. The two adjoining counties of
Minidoka and Gooding will do almost
the same; though possibly not to the
same percentage of disapproval.
Ailshie has made a great hit in this
county he should easily be the leader
in the republican nomination. Indeed,
he may go as much as so per cent high
er than any other candidate. His boom
is growing; no one else can claim to be
more than holding his own.
For the other contested place on the
republican ticket, Sweeley and Edging-
ton will probably be the high men for
lieutenant governor.
For treasurer, Eagleson will probably
get as many votes as both his oppon
ents.
George R. Barker of Standpoint will
probably get fine vote for secretary
of state; though Charles D. Story of
Boise will be a real factor in the fight
1t is almost anybody's race fer the
district judgeship. Judge Stockslager
will have good following, and will
perhaps be one of the four nominees
on the non-partisan ticket. James M.

How They'll Vote in Lincoln
Forecast of What the Primaries Will Show in Lincoln
County---Its Hard Guess on Several Important
Ofices---Nobody for Haines for Governor.

Wise of Twin Falls is pretty sure of a
place; indeed, he. is likely to be the
high man of all. E. M. Wolfe, of
Mountain Home, has made fine i'm
preston. as has also Judge Edgerton,
of Soldier; and these two men will be
very close to the top. George Herriott,
of Twin Falls, has made fine impress
sion wherever he goes. as one of the
best in the field; but it is doubtful
whether he is as well known as some of
the others. and he will be handicapped
by that fact. James M. Boutwell,, of
Shoshone, is perhaps the best known
attorney of the whole field and he to
will be close to the top. 1t is an even
enough race with about six of the more
prominent candidates, and only wiz
ard could predict the exact standing of
all.
Hawley will probably win out for SEN
ator in this county; though the pro-
gressive Nugent has a firm hold on
many of the democrats of this section.
Bert Miller of St. Anthony, and Dow
Dunning of Owyhee county, have a
''lead-pipe cinch" for congress on the
democratic ticket.
For the republican congressman, Ad-
olson I. Smith has one place assured by
twoto-one plurality. The other place
is in doubt; the Recorder would not pre-
dict that any one of the other four can
didates would get two votes more tnan
any otner one---they are that close. 1t
is piece of great good fortune that all
the candidates are live, progressive men,
any one of whom would be credit to
the state.
For the county ticket, Zug and Kartz-
Ike will have a hot battle for senator;
with Zug probably little in the lead
Wheeler and Tage will probably run
close for sheriff. Bower probably has
a big lead for assessor, though there
are two unknown quantities in the field
against him. Reeves has walk away
for probate judge, it would appear.
The are so lew contests in the county
democratic ticket, that there can be no
doubt as to the final result.
