CHILEAN OFFICIALS
intern u. S. VESSEL
Hold Steamer Furnishing
German Fleet With Fuel
Before Destruction.
[BY LEASED WiRE.l

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 31.-The
American steamer Sacramento. has
been interned by the Chilean author
tiles in the South American port OF
Valparaiso, according to advices re
ceveid here, and will have to remain
there until the war is over.
Whether the detention of the Sacra
mento, which was formerly the Ger.
man steamer Alexandria, will develop
further complications depends upon
the attitude of the Washington state
department. 1t Is said that the North
and South Steamship company owners
of the vessel, has sent a report to
Washington to protest.
That the vessel will remain tied uI
is indicated by the report Of the
American consul at Valparaiso who
said it was apparent that the ship had
violated neutrality when she furnished
fuel and provisions to the German
squadron prior to its destruction by
the British.

Civic Spirit Takes New Life
With Establishment of Pro-
gressive Officials in Janu-
ary.
CHARITY ORGANIZES
Domestic Science Association
Supplies Visiting Nurse
Works Board Gets Lower
Rates on Utilities.

The year of 1914 has been a pro-
gressive one for Richmond in that ii
saw more civic spirit exhibited than in
several previous years.
The year has been stormy one
from the elements and from the stand
point of deaths and suicides.
A review of the past year indicates
that the citizens were aroused to civic
interest through the seating of Pro
gressive city government. After pub
lie spirit was dormant for eight or ten
years it became manifest in demands
for improvements, for better and
cheaper utility rates, and in the up
building of organizations for civic bet
terment.
Charity Organizes.
One of the most important events
Of the year is considered the affilia
tion of the leading charity organiza
tions for the purpose of taking care
of the city's poor, removing the causes
of pauperization, teaching the depend
ent to become self-reliant, and putting
from business men.
The Domestic Science association
provided visiting nurse to care fol
the city's sick who needed but could not
otherwise have nurse service. The
dilatory anti-tuberculosis work of the
last few years was given new life the
past year and committees have got
ten as far as to have complete tubercu
losis hospital plans ready to present t(
the county commissioners.
The citizens have shown Interest
in having new lights placed over the
city and are now asking for better
Main street lighting.
Interest in the park system has beer
worked up to high pitch. Residents
of West Richmond have organized tt
have the west side dump, an eye-sore
for years, replaced by a park, ant
instead Of merely complaining of il
have taken action to prove it. Morton
park was dedicated and plans have
been made this year to make it sum
mer resort in the future.
Better streets and better roads have
been demanded, and the people behint
the demands have worked harder anG

At a meeting of the Friends Publ

widening the scope of the official or

Alvin r. Coate of Indianapolis, and
J. Elwood Cox of North Carolina, will
investigate the prospects for an ell

purpose of which is to keep Friends
in touch with the work of the

rather than to make money
A series of articles is being run in
the magazine on the question, Where
Shall Friends Lay Emphasis the Com
ing Year?" Several local men have
contributed to the symposium.
Charles S. WOodman of Portland,
Me-. declares the great question be-
fore the church is that Of spiritual
leadership which he says should be
liberated for service in such a way
"by financial generosity on the part
of the church that it will no longer be
obliged to earn it's bread with one
hand (and perhaps the right one)
while the other devotes itself to such
skill as it possesses to the more i'm
portant service of the Lord
Luke Woodard of Fountain City.
says the problem of the church is it's
edification and the saving of the lost
through press, pulpit, training
schools, teachers and Bible schools" "
A more unified evangelistic effort
is suggested by Theodore FoXworthy
of Plainview, Neb.

forth the glad message by hook OF
crook if he can prevent it.
A fireman, policemen or guard will
be placed at every fire alarm station
for some time before and after mid
night to prevent an unnecessary
alarm. The fire bells will ring FOL
the last time this year at 8 o'clock

TO STAND PAT ON
NOTE OF PROTEST

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-"Tt is
scarcely to be doubted that these lists
are thus swclled in order to accom-
plish the economic ruin of Germany

commodities included in them will be
used if imported In the prosecution OF

tana in speech in tho senate today
He urged this government to take d
firm stand against the seizure OF cop

Senator Walsh emphasized the tech
nicality of the British government dur
ing this war to constantly enlarge its
claims OF authority to interfere with
neutral commerce. pointing out that
the latest list of absolute contraband
included rubber. turpentine and vari
Gus ingredients of explosives and chem
ical substances.
He then showed that since the begin.
ming OF the present European war, L.
Gao tons of copper shipped from the
United States TO ports of neutral ma
tious on the continent have been seiZ
ed and are being held by Great Britain
As Contraband. AT current prices the
shipments are worth $4,000 900 he said

ieved OF their copper freight" the sen
Ator continued. Four of them destiue,

HAM COUNTY, IDAHO, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1914.
EDITOR TAKES A WEEK OFF

The editor of the Republican will
take a few days off on the occasion
of the platform convention at Boise
next week, and r. J. Potter ant
Wesley Lantis, of the Republican
force will edit the paper for July
3rd. They may give the public q
better paper or change of style OF
a change of journalistic diet; We don't
know.
1t has been seventy-one weeks since
Editor Trego had a vacation or
turned the editorial work over to
anyone else, and he isn't laying 1t
down for the coming week because
he is at all tired of it, but for the
purpose of mixing for a few days
with the big gathering of men who
assemble for the various conventions.
The last time he left his desk for a
week was during the Twelfth ses-
sion of the legislature when he re-
ceived request to go to Boise to
confer with committees in regard to
public printing and publications of
proceedings of state and county
board. Many changes were suggested
and endorsed but it was too late in
the session to get action on them.

COMMENTS
ON STEVENS
SPEAKERS NAME WITHHELD, NO
CHANCE-WILL NOT SECURE
MANY VOTES-CALDWELL IS
HEARD FROM,

His paper" of last week remarked
that a man from Idaho Falls, (no
name) predicts that Mr.. Stevens will
carry Bonneville county for the nom
ination for governor.
1t was nice of this Idaho Falls
man to speak SO flatteringly of
Blackfoot man. 1t indicates that the
old prejudice is passing. Too bad
the management of His paper" did
not identify the speaker.
Some Other Comment
The Kooskia Mountaineer was po-
lite enough to cut its objections short
and not be knocking our man in de-
tail. Note its politeness:
Judge Stevens of the sixth judicial
district may be an alright Judge,
but if he is wise he will keep out of
the gubernatorial race. No chance"
Lemhi Herald
AS to Judge Stevens of this judicial
district, his candidacy is not regarded
seriously in his home district, much
less so in other parts of the state,
where he is not SO we'll known. He
will not secure many votes.
Caldwell Tribune
The Caldwell Tribune suggested,
before it happened, that unless Judge
Stevens could be appointed supreme
judge or something, he was likely to
come out for governor. No one wants
to harm Mr.. Stevens, in his home or
his political life. The people have
given him much; he has been the
darling of the political gods of Idaho.
But it will be marvel if he ever
runs for anything after the storm
gets through with him this year
Shelley Pioneer Again
The enthusiasm with which the
candidacy of Judge Stevens has been
received in every part of the state
shows conclusively that the people
are interested in the contest for the
governorship and that all are not
willing to support the present encum-
bent. While the Idaho Republican,
published in Blackfoot, does not seem
to take kindly to the Judges candi-
dacy, the public in general in this
county, will be with the Judge in the
primary election. Sometimes the op-
position of candidate from some
quarters turns out to be help,
which We believe is the case in this
instance.
Better read the first three lines
again.-Editor Republican.

INFORMATION FOR VOTERS

The two last legislatures have
made some changes in the election
laws that every voter should heed.
The various county central COM
mittees are required to appoint dele
gates to the platform conventions.
This they did Tuesday of this week.
The platform conventions are to
meet in Boise the 30th inst. and
they will probably remain in session
two days. All party candidates must
stand squarely upon their party plat
form.
Any voter may nominate any can
didate or even himself, by filing the
proper petition with the county re-
corder or with the secretary of state.
First day of filing nominating petit
tions, July 8.
Last day for filing, August Q.
Primary election, September l.
At that primary separate ballots
will be provided for the different po-
litical parties, but the law provides
that all judicial candidates shall ap-
pear on all primary ballots, without
any party designation or title, show
ing to what political party they be-
long.
Each voter must ask for the party
ticket he wishes to vote.
Each voter votes for two candi-
dates for judge of the supreme court
and for district Judge, without desig-
mating which is his first or second
choice, and the names of two persons
receiving the highest number of votes
go on the ballot in November. If
more than one Judge is to be elected
in any political subdivision of the
state, then the voter should vote for
twice the number of positions that
are to be filled at the general cleo
tion.
For the first time the voters will
vote directly for a United States SEN
ator. Each voter will have two votes,
a first choice and second choice, and
II no candidate receives 40 per cent
Of the first choice votes, then the first
choice votes are added to the second
votes and the candidate who receives
the highest number Of first and sec
ond choice votes will be declared the
nominee.
The county central committeeman
will be elected at the primaries, in
stead Of being chosen by the success
ful candidates, as the law stood two
years ago.
