GYMNASIUM FOR THE
YOUNG ATHLETES

Probably few readers of the Gaz-
cite are aware of the excellent fac
ilities Kendrick possesses for first
class Gymnasium in connection with
her public schools. In the old
school building is the hope of the
young athlete. Exactly located and
adapted for such purpose, it only
remains to secure the proper equip
ment. True, it presents a some
what dilapidated appearance both
outside and Inside owing to the
breaking as well as the removal of
some Of the windows but this can
be easily remedied. In all other re-
poets the building is in very fair
condition. 1t is we'll painted and
has good roof so that it presents
the possibilities for many years Of
service. The athletic association
has undertaken to see that the build
ing is not further damaged by the
young street Arab and since school
has been in session no further dam
age has been sustained. 1t is in
daily use and both girls and boys
are enthusiastic over the opportuni-
ties presented for becoming profic-
lent in the popular games. This ar
ticle is written for the purpose of
calling the attention of the general
public to matter of great interest
not only to the schools but to the
town. With little energy and ex-
pense the old school building can be
made to serve a splendid purpose.
To own one Of the finest school
buildings that money can buy with
a separate building devoted to ath-
letic purposes, is something that
few Villages possess. Here then is
the opportunity, the school board
has the right idea but needs encour-
agement from the citizens, those
interested in the public schools
should back up the Borad to the ex-
tent at least of putting the building
in such condition that no further
damage would occur. Then when
fortune smiles once more upon the
school treasury all that would be
needed, would be an equipment re-
sulting in but small expense. This
would place Kendrick in the very
front rank along the line of public
school facilities.

Remarks At Depot

A better bit of advice was never
given than that of Attorney General
Peterson to the voters of Latah
county at the depot in Kendrick
Tuesday from the rear end of the
passenger train enroute from Lew
iston.
He urged the people to give
the legislative tickets careful, con-
sidered attention.
He urged the people to vote
for men who would make friends,
not enemies in the legislature.
He pleaded with Latah county to
redeem itself from the unfortunate
record made by some former legis-
lators.
He told the people to send down
to Boise men who are in touch with
what is going on, who will have in
fiuence against those whv seek to do
the university harm.
He did not plead with the voters
to support their party's legislative
ticket, irrespective of the merits of
the men
He did not claim that the voters
owed more to any group of candi-
dates than they owe to the county
and the university.
He declared that the good name
of Latah comes first.
Take his advice.
Get next.

Going To The Bottom

Boise, Oct. 27-Examiner Axel P.
Ramstedt, in charge of the probe
in connection with o. V. Aliens de-
falcations, has been instructed by
Governor Haines to carry his invest
igations into every state department
and ferret out all the facts. 1t
will take some time to get to the
other departments. 1t may be nec-
essary to investigate the records of
many of the counties of the state
to trace items on the records of the
treasury books.
The systematic embezzlement of
state funds in the treasury depart
ment so far discovered runs back to
January of the present year, dur
ing which $4,000 is unaccounted
for, the bulk of this amount going
to the defaulting state treasurer, o.
V. Allen, now serving an inderterm-
mate sentence of from five to ten
years in the penitentiary. 1t is GER
tain the shortages run farther back.
That the National surety COM
pany, surety on the treasurer S
bonds proposes to take all the pre-
cautionary steps to protect and re-
cover part of the fund embezzled,
became known last night. Although
no warrants have been issused, re-
liable reports indicate that this COM
pany will swear to complaints in
volving other parties than state Of
fcials.
Governor Haines stated today that
he had quite made up his mind not
to appoint a new state treasurer tc
succeed o. V. Allen, the self-confes.
sed defaulter, but to await until
the result Of the election is known,
which will be only short time now
and appoint the treasurer-elect A
new treasurer would only serve two
months, and it would take him al.
most that long to break into the
work when his term of office would
run out and the treasurer elect
would come in.

New Man on State Ticket

County Auditor and Recorder HON.
er E. Estes Monday night received
from the secretary of state certifi-
cation authorizing the placing on
the official ballot of the name of
John W. Eagleson as the republican
candidate for state treasurer in the
place of O. V. Allen. Arrange
ments have been made for the use
of stickers in such counties where
the ballots have already been
printed, however the sticker will not
be used in Latah county except in one
precinct, Bear Creek, the ballots for
that precinct having been printed
before the change as ordered.
All the rest of the precincts in
Latah county will contain the name
of Mr.. Eagleson.

Should Be Reelected

There is probably no office which
the people will be required to fill at
the coming election that is more i'm
portant than that of District Judge.
1t is one which they cannot afford to
try experiments.
The expense of holding court is
one of the greatest expenses of state
government. Judge Steele has al
ways kept court expense down to
the minimum. The proper decision
OF contested matters involving pro-
perty rights and involving the en-
forcement Of the criminal laws is
very important to all the people.
The records show that Judge Steele
has been affirmed in more cases in
proportion to the number of cases
tried than any other District Judge
in Idaho. The criminal laws have
been upheld and enforced, and the
civil litigation has been so satisfac.
tory to the litigants that out OF
more than eight thousand judge.
ments rendered in cases during the
last sixteen years, less than 100 have
been modified or changed by the de.
cisions of the Supreme court.

Woody has made an able officer no
one doubts-to do so would be to
doubt the record. He has devoted
much time and energy to the exact
ing duties of his office. As chair
man of the Board he is held in the
highest esteem by his associates.
This end of the county has re-
ceived his careful attention as the
erection of necessary steel bridges
and other improvements abundantly
testify. He is always ready to
listen to suggestions for improve
ments in county affairs and is
thoroughly progressive and up-to.
date. He is an affable gentleman
and one who makes friends wherever
he goes. In the annual meetings OF
county commissioners at Boise, Latah
county is not ashamed of its repre-.
sentative.
Again, Mr.. Woody is loyal to the
best interests of Kendrick and all
the country tributary thereto. He
as a farmer, is interested in the
minimum tax levy and in the care
full expenditure of county funds.
Whatever else may be said the fact
stands out prominently that Latak
County is Out of Debt, and it &C
quired that enviable distinction
among the counties of the state dur.
ing Mr.. Woody's administration.
To Recapitulate
A vote for Mr.. Woody ~means g
vote for efficiency, for honesty OF
purpose, for a minimum tax levy
for wise expenditure of county
funds and for the best interests o1

Sounds Favorable

Lewiston Tribune-The candidacy
Of Miss Ethel Redfield who is before
the voters on the republican ticket
to succeed herself in the office of
county school superintendent, is fav-
ored by County Attorney Miles S.
johnson, who has had occasion to
become we'll acquainted with the
work in the office of county school
superintendent during several ad-
ministrations. In writing to Miss
Redfeld, Mr.. johnson says:
''Your communication of recent
date at hand. Matters such as you
speak Of are apt to arise at any
time, in which case | should give
the subject no cause for worriment,
since every public officer has people
complaining at times when the Of
ficer is simply following his plain,
unequivocal duty under the law.
81 can say to you Miss Redfield,
that this is, as you know, my third
term as county attorney, and l have
previously SOlIlC III COtiCdCC Will
other school superintendants of this
county and l believe that Nez Perce
county has never had school super
intendent that has been more zeal
GUS in the discharge of her duties
and who has filled the office any bet
ter than yourself. l believe that
Nez Perce county is fortunate in
having a school superintendent who
has had your experience in teach
ing, and l sincerely trust and hope
that you may be successful in the
ensuing election, not only on account
of your splendid work but also
from the fact that having had two
years experience you can render
better service in the next two
years.

ming you should not be critized by
any fair-minded, reasonable, sen
sible person for following any Law
which it is your sworn duty to fol
low, even though it may not be ac
cording to your own personal view
or wishes"

Return This Man

The Gazette believes in fair play
in politics as in everything else. 1t
believes that when an officer has
proved his honesty and efficiency he
should receive due credit for the
same and not be held responsible for
acts wholly without his jurisdiction.
To this end it desires to say a strong
word for our present member of
the board of County C Commissioners,
John l.. Woody who is also a candi-
date for reelection. That Mr..

MURDERED IN HER
FATHERS HOME

Moscow, Oct. 28-Frank Wilson.
the railroad bridge carpenter who
Sunday night shot and killed Edna
Erickson near Moscow mountain, is
still at large this evening and the
officers have received no clue as to
his whereabouts. Officers and citi-
zens have been searching the country
since the first alarm was sounded
and last night it was thought Wilson
had been seen in the vicinity of the
Palouse river. The search today,
however has been fruitless and moth
ing of an encouraging nature could
be given out at the sheriff's office
this evening.
The Erickson home is located in
timbered section and it is be-
lieved that Wilson took to the tim
Der Immediately after the crime.
His long service in the railroad
crews has fitted him for outdoor ex-
posures and rough living and the
view is expressed that he will prob
ably endeavor to work his way out of
the country by staying in the timber
and the rough unsettled sections ad-
jacent to the river.
The murder has caused a strong
feeling in the section of the country
where Miss Erickson resided and
this feeling is generally reflected
throughout the country. People
in all sections are keeping a close
lookout for the murderer and it is
believed he will be apprehended if
he is forced to come out into any of
the nearby settlements for food.
The rural telephones have been
freely used to sound the warning
throughout the county and all points
along the railroads have been ad-
vised by telegraph to look for the
man wanted.
The manner in which the murder
was committed would indicate that
Wilson had made some preparations
for its enactment but it is not be-
lieved that it was premeditated to
an extent that food and clothing
had been cached in the neighbor-
hood Of the Erickson home by the
aid OF which it would be an easy
matter for practical woodsman to
escape from the country without ap-
pearing in any of the settlements.
The statement is made this even
ing at the sheriff's office that the
search will be continued with una
bated diligence and descriptions of
the man wanted will be sent to all
sections of the country. Effort is
now being made to locate relatives
of the murderer and learn more of
his personal habits which would be
material assistance in apprehend-
ing him in the event he succeeds in
escaping immediate capture.
