and the fires go on. He is in hour
ly dread of another tire that might
easily destroy his fine field of
grain, and finish up the rest of his
grove, the one beauty spot for miles

attention to the fact that all these

either law or justice or decency, he
will be obliged to once more warn

Careless Campers Do Damage
Two Disastrous Fires the Result of Criminal Careessness

The second fire in two weeks oc-
Cured on the Bolton and Cox place
Friday of last week. The place is
on the Big Wood river, at the Lit
tie Cottonwoods,' fine fishing
and camping place on the road up

ers go there, build their camp fires
to cook thier night and morning
meals, and drive away without put
ting out the fires. When the wind
comes up during the day, it spreads
the fire, and two real disasters
have been brought to the land own
ers through this means. In the
first fire, the two men lost about
$500; and about $500 in the last
one.

SPIRITED CONTEST
Race for State Senator VIII Be
Busy One.

L. NJ. Zug of Shoshone, candi-
date for state senator, making a
very interesting race for the repuJ-
lican nomination. There were
number of actual or prospective
candidates, either in their own name
or in the estimation of their trends
who insisted on putting them up
for the nomination. Among them
were Fred w. Goodng, who did
not want it for himself but whose
friends were most insistent that he
be entered; w. ]. Taper was
urged on by friends, and might have
been a candidate under certain
conditions that did not develop; w.
S. Parkhurst of Richfield was
strongly considered by the Pro-
gressive wing of the Republican
party; Paul r. Kartzke of Jerome
had been half-understood to be
candidate, for a number of months,
though nothing definite was known
here until his name was actually
filed; and Mr.. Zug was the last
candidate to be mentioned. Only
the two names were filed, Mr..
Kartzke and Mr.. Zug.
Mr.. Kartzke was an efficient
county commissioner, and no one
has any reason to feel other
than kindly towards his candidacy,
either here or elsewhere. However,
as the legislative ticket was entirely
apart from any geographical or BIZ
partisan apportionment agreed up
on at the recent unofficial meeting,
and as no names of favorite sons
or local candidates from any local
ity were mentioned at that time,
the field was understood to be open
for everybody, from whatever To-
cality, without preference for any
thing but his own qualifications
or industry in getting the vote. Mr..
Tug is busy campaigner, capable
man and good officer who has
been so closely before the people
for the past several years that they
have a personal interest in him. and
he will be a mighty hard man 70

perfectly friendly test Of strength

FIRE NOTICE

Instructions as to How to He'll
the Firemen.
To the Residents of Richfeld:
You are hereby advised that to enable
us to be in better position to fight
any fires which may occur in the future,
that we have divided the town into
three districts.
All the portion from the south side
of the park north to be known as Dis
trict No. l; from the south side of the
park to the Oregon Short line Railroad
to be known as District No. 2; from the
Oregon Short Line Railroad on south
to the city limits to be known as Dis
trict No. g.
We have arranged with the Idaho
Irrigation Company for the use of the
whistle at the light plant as fire alarm
One whistle to mean that the fire is in
District No. i two whistles to mean
that the fire is in District No. 2; three
whistles to mean that the fire is in Dis
trlct No. 3.
The City has ordered $50 feet more
hose, also one more hose-cart, and the
the purchase of other fire fighting ap
paratus is under discussion. 1t is the
intention to establish one hose-cart on
the corner of Main south of the park.
The other hose-cart will be established
near the south side of District No. 2,
thus having line of hose that can be
very quickly taken to any part of the
city where there may be fire.
More hydrants are to be installed so
that the property may have better pro-
lection.
The organization of good volunteer
fire department is now under way and
we can soon assure you of first class
fire protection.

he knew of in the state. He want
ed to know how much money had
been expended, and how much road
had been built. When told that the
district had about 100 miles of the
same kind of finished road as he
had travelled over, and still had
money in the treasury, he remarked
that that sum was usually only
enough to make fair start on such
a construction program. Richfield,
he said, had established record
for the economical construction of
good roads in Idaho.

Some one has worried about what
some of the plain-spoken, not to
say violent champions or enemies

fellow wins the party nomination.
There was a man who listened
with apparent alarm to the scientist
who was proving that the earth was
going to be burned up sometime in
the future. He anxiously sought
the lecturer at the close, and wanted
to know just how long they had to
live. "Well, said the speaker, 'is
is believed it will be about seven
million years. ooh. is that it :"
breathed the anxious one with
sigh of relief. Il thought you said
four millionl p
That's about the way the Re-
corder views the what's
the use of worrying if it's only four
million years ?-or if it's question
of how we'll stand it for these
dreadfuls to win. The principal
business Just now is to see that they
don't win. After that, why, what's
the use?

There are a lot of old friends
coming up for places in the state
legislature. There is L. l. Purcell,
of the Weiser Signal, up for the
senate. He would be a brilliant,
capable legislator. c. A. Hastings,
of Lewiston, one of the ruggedest
public men the state has ever had,
is up for the senate from Nez
Perce county. He, too, would be
valuable state asset. He was
practically the father of the state
depository law, that now pays hun
dreds of thousands of dollars into
the state and county treasures for
the use of the public funds. F. 7.

they should. ]. w. Tanner of the
Filler Journal is on the democratic
slate for lieutenant governor. And
there are lots and lots of other good
men, but not all of the county tick
cts have as yet come in.
The Recorder would wish to es-
pecially commend George r. Bark
er of Standpoint as the republican
nominee for secretary of state. Mr.
Barker is a newspaper man of wide
experience and marked ability. He
is well acquainted with state prob
lens, and he would make an ex-
ceptionally capable officer. The
secretary of state is not merely a
boolkeeper or office man-he is
an active member of almost every
one of the great state boards. His
power is hardly less than that of
the governor himself. For this
reason, a man of character and abil-
ity is needed. Mr.. Barker has
served as regent of the state uni
versity; as republican delegate to
the national convention and he
has been we'll in the fore in matters

Ailshie Leads for the Senate

Absolutely the most strik-
ing feature Of this campaign
is the growing interest in the
success of Judge Ailshie for
the senate. In many places
it has already reached the
''band wagon stage, and the
voters are f1ocking in to him,
following the lead ofthose who
have picked him from the first
as the best man.
The Judge has a wonderful
personal acquaintance over the
state, a friendship unclouded
by mercenary or political en-
tanglements of any kind. He
has the respect of all, ofwhat-
ever party, and nine out of
every ten men in the state
concede his intellectual super
lOrlty, his polish, his tireleSs
industry, his common peo-
ple'' sincerity, his courage,
his absolute fidelity to friends
and to all obligations. That's
a lot to say of any man! It's
enough to win on!
The Judges commanding
position as a jurist, and his
manner of thought from the
standpoint of the common
people, make him the one big
opportunity for the voter.
He'll have to get the nOin-
inatiOn in order to win---be
sure to vote for him in the
primaries!

dinner pals as if going to school, the
pals however containing dainty refresh

The afternoon was spent with games,
songs, recitations, stories and phono-

heartily enjoyed themselves, and were
loath to go when one of the parents
came for them.
Mrs. Fagin was presented with a
beautiful china spoon tray by one of the
pupils Mary Flavel. The children were

You are hereby requested that, if at
any time there should be fire in any
part of the city and you have any hy-
drants running, that you Immediately
turn them off so that we may have all

If there are few hydrants running
