MIR. LAWLER'S NOMINATION.

 EHE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES in Hart.
 1 ford have given conclusive result Representative Joseph H. Lawler is to be the nominee for mayor, having carried seven out of ten wards, with popular plurality of 500 in vote slightly larger than 4400. His opponent Former Senator Spellacy, was one Of the best enfrenched men in the party The victory Of Rep. Lawler is spondngly notable Mr. Lawler will make in everyIvxay a desirable can didate. He has the experience, the ideals and the record a Democratic candidate for mayor Of ain important city should have. Times were trying in the last General Assembly, but Repre- sentative Lawler never Hinched. He voted in accordance with the demands of the progressive citizens of this state, and his career as a mem Der of the house may be scrutinized with a microscope, without any flaw being found in 1t.
 The Democrats have nominated MT Lawler. They will now elect him. and in this we believe they will have the help of many who do not us lually vote the Democratic ticket.

THE SUICIDE OF PROF. PECK.

rT%HE SUICIDE of Harry Thurston Peek is a
 Asn sstype of many suicides. It attracts attention because the man who killed himself recently occupied a conspicuous position, as 3 teacher and writer. In age which is essen- tially homogeneous, this educated man return ed to the practices of his aboriginal ancestors, defying the precepts of law and morality. He found the path too difficult to travel. Itis cl- rious commentary upon the quality of his error, that his best friend, in the hour of his dsgracs, was the first wife whom he so despitefulIy used. She knew him when he was younger, and when his ideals were perhaps yet unspoiIed. He was not to her the base creature he must have seemed to those other women who had faith in him and were deceived.

REINDEER IN ALASKA.

?
 Officials of the Alaskan Division, Bureau of Education, to-day gave em- phatfc denial to a recently published statement that the reindeer in Alaska are .'deteriorating and diminishing. 7, They declare that. on the contrary, the Alaskan reindeer are constantly increasing Sin number and that there has been no deterioration.
 The recently completed tabulation of the returns contained in the an nuaI reports of .tae superintendents 5of the herds shows that there were, June 30. 1918. 47.26e reindeer in the Of 23 per cent during the fiscal year. This is considered a fair rate of in crease, especially since nearly 5000 reindeer were killed for food and skins during the year. Only S.s53 of the reindeer are owned by the. Governnent; 5,047 are owned by mis- sions; 7.8s4 by Lapps; and the re- rnainfng sO,532 are owned by 7s7 Es- kinaos and Indians, whose income from the reindeer industry during the fiscal year was see. .966. The reindeer belonging to these natives have an es- timated value of s765.9G0. The Gov. ernment is planning to go out of the reindeer business as fast as it can train natives for individuaI owner ship, the policy being to encourage in- |dependence and initiative among the native population. Distribution of reindeer is in charge of the United States school teachers, and it is ex- l.pected that the Government will dis- pose of all it's reindeer within the next four years.
 Discussing the statement that the Alaskan reindeer are growing smaller because Of inbreeding, MT. w T.. Lopp, Chief of the Alaska Division, maintains that the reindeer now In Alaska are larger animals than those which comprised the original stock :, imported from Siberia. Mir. Lopp Irange than Siberia The climate $ better. The herds average more than 700 reindeeri each, so that the danger of inbreeding can not be ser ious. Necessarily there is more in breedings among the scattered bands 1 of wild caribou. On the other ,hand,
 since the caribou are larger than the lreindeer. their mixture with mum Der of our reindeer herds seems to have improved their size. At the
 same time it has been noticed that
 the introduction of wild blood makes 4 4herding more difficult,

vas wonderful for man of his years.
1T Is pity that such a man should
ever grow DID," one remarked.
The essays and addresses by the
brothers belonging to the district,
we're all OF an unusually high order.
Local arrangements for entertain.
nent of visiting members, were said
to be perfect. thanks to the ladies' Of
the M, e. Church in this city, who
spared no pains to make the visit OF
the ministers as pleasant as possi-
BILE.
All agree that this has been the
most successful conference ever held
In this district.
Reports from various charges were
very encouraging. Every man seems
happy In his work.
DIR. Podgham, financial agent of the
college at Gooding, reported splendid
progress, plans for building having
been selected and large gifts from
eastern millionaires are In sight. IL
IS expected that the college will be
ready for students in the fall OF 1915.
There win be full agricultural de-
partment which is regarded as
necessity In this state.
The Methodists wish to express
their appreciation Of the kindness OF
friends OF sister churches, who help
ed them In entertaining the conven.
ton, especially Mr.. Evans of the
Evans Hotel, for giving them the
use Of his commodious dining hall.
Music by the choir was much appre-
ciated and frequently complimented
by the strangers and the church was
very nicely decorated and presented
IN attractive appearance.
We could scarcely suggest any I'M.
,rovement should We again have the
conference. We hope to secure the
annual conference for Mountain Home
n the not very distant future.
