VISITED BY HAIL STORM.
Hanchers Near Pittsburg Landing Lose
Grain and Fruit.

A heavy hail storm vassed throuoh
the section between Pittsburg Landing
on the Snake river and the Frank
Wyatt ranch on Salmon river Tuesday
evening inflicting heavy damage on
all crops while poultry is reported killed
IN some sections and orchards and gar
dens badly cut up.
The storm appeared at Pittsbure
Landing about 1880 o'clock and crossed
the Salmon river headed in the direc-
tion of Grangeville. In the vicinity of
Pittsburg Landing there is considerable
grain grown and this was badly beat
down by the hail. The storm is re-
ported to have been about mile wide
and little escaped in its path.
AT the Shelter ranch the windows
were broken and the garden practi.
cally destroyed. The fruit there was
also badly damaged.
The Mclaughlin ranch reports that
the hail beat holes in the roof of the
house and destroyed the gardens.
The George Woods ranch reports
severe damage to the grain and gardens.
The Doumecq ranch reports poultry
killed, grain damaged, gardens destroy
ed and fruit badly cut up.
The Frank Wyatt ranch reports a
serious damage to the grain crops.
There is a large section between
Pittsburg Landing and Whitebird that
is not provided by telephone service
and it is known there is large area
of cultivated land in the path Of the
storm. 1t is feared serious damage
has been sustained by large number of
farmers and stockmen residing between
the rivers.

What will the harvest be?
That's the question uppermost in the

The farmer says it Is going to be good

lived here long enough to appreciate
the virtues of good old Idaho county

Idaho county soil always makes good.
In fact it sometimes does even better.
But to sidetrack all idle platitudes
and get down to solid facts, did you
ever see more promising prospects
Ask L. M. Harris, the land man, who
took spin out over the prairie the
other day to view at first hand the
golden vista of waving grain. What he

Ask anyone, it's all the same. It's
almost like talking to a prospector in
the Calgary oil fields-nothing but
riches in sight. F. G. Nuxoll, one Of
the prosperous ranchers from the Green

John Norwood, the warehousemaD,

stated that all grains except very late
sown promised q yield much above the
average.

FILED NOMINATION PAPERS or,
NON-PARTISAN JUD DICIARY TICK
EFT UNDER NE wv LAW.
sixteen YEARS ON BENCH
Records Show An Economical Admins
tration During His Tenure of Office
in Second Judicial District.

Judge h. Z. Steele has announced his
desire to be returned to the district
bench, and has filed his nomination
upon the non-partisan judiciary ticket.
He is now serving his sixteenth
year as trial judge in this district,
having served upon the bench for a
longer period of tame than any other
judge in Idaho, either before or since
statehood. He is the oldest district
judge in Idaho, in point of service.
His services have been continuous, and
in each recurring contest for election
his candidacy has met with the approval
of the voters. They have expressed
their confidence in him as a Judge at
each successive election with an ever
increasing majority.
The district court over which Judge
Steele presides comprises one-sixth of
the territory of the state, one-sixth of
the population, One-sixth of the wealth,
and about one-sixth Of the legal busi-
ness of the entire state. There are, in
all, twelve district judges in Idaho, and
for the past six years Judge Steele has
been doing twice the amount of bust
ness Of the average of the district
judges of the state.
The records of the district court
show that the courts of the district
have been economically administered to
such an extent that, while in Latah
county alone, during the last four years
Of the administration Of his predecessor,
Judge Piper, the expenses to the tax
payers of holding court in that county
were in excess Of $4,000 dollars per
annum; yet during the last six or eight
years the expenses TO the taxpayers Of
the district court in the entire district
have been less han 5000 per annum
for all five, counties notwithstanding
ing the volume in the district is more
than double the business handled by
Judge Piper. The records further show
that during said period there is not q

ruRE HIGH GRADE PRODUCT.
local CAPITAL INTERESTED
Wiling Men Of Wide Experiencs to
Have Charge Possibly Make
Trial Bun this Week.

The absence Of flour mill in Grange.
vile for some time past is about to be
filled by the completion Of modern
equipped and up-to-date mill which will
turn out a grade ofsfour Of the highest
quality obtainable.
That the mill has not been running
steadily all OF the time for the past two
years has caused outside parties who
visit Grangeville from time to time to
wonder, in view Of the fact that we
stand in the midst Of one Of the most
wonderful agricultural and grain rails
| ing regions of the west and Of the
United States.
Through the assistance Of local
capital, w. w. Brown and other local
business men including Isaac Zehner be-
ing interested in putting the mill into
operation, the old Grangeville Roller
Mill is being treated to a thorough and
extensive overhauling and refitting.
Neither money nor time is being
spared to equip and fit up the mill with
| the most modern and efficient milling
appliances. New machinery Of the
latest type is being installed and put in
| to running order.
Expert Millwrights Doing Work.
Work on the plant has been pushed
steadily for the past sixty days and
two expert millwrights from Spokane
have been busy adjusting and overhaul
ing the old machinery already in the
mill and installing the new machinery
which has been procured to equip the
mill complete.
The work has progressed rapidly and
is nearing completion. It is planned to
make a short run by Saturday for the
purpose of testing the machinery and
it may be possible, if nothing unfor-
seen happens to prevent, that the mill
will be turning out high grade flour in
about ten days or SO.
Electric current will supply the motive
power, and this will afford the most
efficient and economical power. Camas
frairie capital, Camas Prairie power,
and Camas Prairie grain affords an un-
oeatable combination, and promises
npch for the quantity and quality of
the output, and the financial success Of
the new company.
oamas Prairie men, well know and of
great experience and ability in milling
operations will have charge of the mill,
isaac zehner being the general manager,
and Mr.. Ellenwood of Denver being
ths miller in charge.
The new machinery being installed is
iof making flour solely and is not for
erlst work. The old machinery already
IN the mill will be used for grinding the
coarser product.

PARTAKE OF BOUNTEOUS FEAST
IN SHADE OF LOFTY PINES
SPEECHMAKING BY PRO-
MINENT CITIZENS.

The weather man frowned upon the
patriotic citizens who would celebrate
the Fourth, and although Spokane and
points in northern Idaho and Washing
ton were visited by downpour which
dampened patriotic enthusiasm and
Ao,ecrackers and fireworks, Camas
Prairie was favored by the gods and the
sun came out for a short stay during
the day.
The weather looked very unfavorable
during the early hours of the forenoon
of the Fourth, but conveyances were
being mustered to convey the crowds to
Mt. Idaho in spite Of the threatening
aspects, and teams from the surrounding
country were seen making their way to-
wards Mt. Idaho.
Grangeville was pretty well emptied
of it's citizens and George Smith, George
Stevens, John P. Eimers, McAdams and
others hauled many loads of those who
would celebrate at Mount Idaho, max
ing several trips. McAdams reports
that he hauled 70 people over in spite Of
considerable bother and hard luck by
reason Of tire trouble.
On account of the weather conditions
the series of events listed in the pro-
gram of entertainment of the crowd
was abbreviated and the principal
amusement in the line of sports for the
crowd present was bali game. It had
been intended that the regular Grange
Vile ball team should play Mt. Idaho.
On account Of the threatening weather
a good many of the boys did not appear
and SO a pick up team Of the fellows
from around Grangeviiie was selected
to meet the Mt. Idaho bunch.
The battery for the Grangeville team
was Toye and Ingram, Eli catching the
game until he injured his hand when he
withdrew. Gowan and Shinkle was the
battery for the Mt. Idaho bunch. The
Mt. Idaho huskies succeeded in piling up
goodly number Of runs against the
Grangeville youths and won the game
by good margin.
There was not as large . crowd of

Pioneer Picnic at Mt. Idaho
Draws Large Crowd on Fourth

the old Idaho county pioneers as there
otherwise would have been if the wealth
er had been more favorable, but large
number were in attendance and none
the less enthusiastic by reason of that
fact Those present report that they
had splendid time. The Idaho County
Pioneer Association elected it's officers
for the ensuing year, Cy Overman being
elected president, Herbert Rothwell be-
ing chosen for the place Of secretary,
and Mrs. John Norwood being the
choice of those present for treasurer.
b. L. Hussman, of Keuterville, de-
liyered an address, and this was fol-
lowed by an address by Mrs. Jones'
Cook-Hender. r. w. Overman also
addressed the crowd and w. N. Knox
made few short remarks.
At the noon hour the crowd refreshed
themselves from the commodious dim
ner baskets of the Camas Prairie house
wives, which were specially filled with
good things for the occasion, the basket
dinner being spread in the shade Of the
native pine trees which afforded bounti-
full shade.
Threatening showers in the afternoon
sent the crowd scurrying home little
early and most Of them had left by the
time the first shower struck.
A dance given in the evening in
Grangeville by the ball boys was well
attended and jolly crowd present.
Main street was pretty well crowded
during the evening and there was con-
siderable merrymaking.

The day was spent in games, sports
and q musical entertainment, and at
the noon hour a bounteous repast was
spread in the shade and the crowd re.
freshed themselves. The threatening
weather drove the crowd home early and
they succeeded in getting into town be-
fore the downpour.

Considerable feeling was aroused at
the state conventions of the democratic,
republican and progressives, over the
wet and dry question. In the republi-
can convention the vets had to acknowl.
edge that they were in the minority
and the convention adopted plank for
the submission of constitutional
amendment forever prohibiting the
manufacture and sale Of Intoxicating
liquor in Idaho and, in the event of the
failure of the legislature to pass a re-
solution for the submission of such
amendment, the enactment of q state
wide prohibition law.
The platform of the progressive party
upon adjournment on July l was order
ed sealed and not to be divulged until
the expiration of the time designated
in the state law and all the members Of
the convention were pledged to secrecy.
The progressives also favored the pas
sage of statewide prohibition law.
By a final vote of 122 to 55 the
democratic platform convention in
serted plank in its platform providing
for the submission to the voters Of the
state of constitutional prohibition
amendment. The fight over the plank
was bitter for while and an effort
was made to have the plank tabled
which resulted in warm fight.
A motion to table the amendment was
voted upon and lost by vote Of 95 to
81. At this point A. F. Parker of
Grangeville offered substitute motion,
and he assailed the amendment vigor-
ously touching upon the activity of the
Mormon element in politics. Frank L.
Moore Of Moscow opened the wet and
dry question at the close of the reading
of the platform as submitted by the
committee, and warm debate ensued
Messages of congratulation were read
to the republican convention from Con.
gressman Burton L. French and Addison
T. Smith. The reading of the French
message was received in silence by the
convention without sign of applause.
Loud applause, however, followed the
reading Of the Smith message.
