LIVELY SCHOOL ELECTION AT
WHITEBIRD.

Whitebird held the liveliest school
election in its history last week, from
the statement of the Sun There were
four candidates, Charles Bentz, ex-coun-
ty commissioner H. A. Everest, Edward
Smith and G. J. Wright. There were
1875 votes cast, practically twice as many
as have ever been cast at any prior
school election, resulting in the election
of Bentz and Everest as follows: BentZ
81, Everest 54, Smith so, Wright 26. In
reporting the election the Sun says:
1.-The two features of the election
were the large number of single votes
cast for Smith, ignoring the other can
didates, nearly the whole of his vote be-
ing cast in that manner The phenom-
email vote of Bentz was the other fea-
ture, his vote being nearly equal to
that of both his closest opponents. His
election was never doubted from the
time he consented to accept the nomi-
nation"

get man on third and one on second,
with two down. The next man up went
out on a slow grounder and retired the
side. For the clerks Jenasco did the
slab work, but was unable to hold the
BARRIERS and printers to a reasonable
number of hits and after the sixth inn

sortment of breaks

the stellar performer. Out of five
times at bat he got three hits and was
given a base on balls twice. Cone in
left field and Ingram behind the bat

That at present. 1T would become neces-
sary to re-enlst the members of the
state organization to make them avail
able for duty in Mexico, unless the bill
pending in congress to make the guards
part of the regular army, should pass.
Ihere would be no difficulty in at once
recruiting the guards to the full quota.
the difficulty would be in satisfying the
demands of those desiring to enlist. The
Following information given out may be
OF interest under the present conditions:
The full war strength of the nation
al guard in this country, according to
flgures secured from the adjutant gem
eraPs department, is about 121 600 men.
Ihe war strength of this country not
including the militia, is at the present
time $1,000. The war strength of Mex
leo is larger than that of the United
States, or 10000. Mexico has a popula-
ton of almost 1860, 900, or about the
same population of the southern states
during the civil war.
Under the present laws governing the
militia of this and other states, the men
and officers are enlisted and can be
moved from and to any part of this
country in the event of invasion. AS the
law now stands the militia cannot be or
dered to invade another country; as in
the case of Mexico, if invasion takes
place. The passage of the pending act
however, would permit this to be done.
In the event it is not passed, however
in order to place the Idaho militia and
the militia of other states in Mexico
it would require a complete re-enlist-
ment of all men and officers and there
fore those now in the militia who would
not care to go to war would not be re-
quired to enlist and give service. The
strict medical examinations required
would also be put into effect so that
only sound men could be moved to the
front No doubt is expressed but what
probably entire companies in many in
stances now in the Idaho national guard
would Immediately re-enlist. Where
there were vacancies, especially of com
missioned officers, the policy recommend
ed would be to fill them from the rank
and file of the companies thereby Civ
ing the men now in the service the pref
erence, instead of setting them aside
and using the commissions for political
effect. as has been the case, it is claim
ed, in the past in times of war
