Train Has Narrow
Escape From Wreck

The passenger train on the
Elk River branch narrowly escap
ed an accident Tuesday. Just
as they reached Purdue a man
tagged them and coming to a
stop the train crew found the
switch open about two inches and
heavy logging chain caught in
it.
The chain was wedged in so
tightly that they had to break the
lock of the switch in order to re-
move it. The obstruction was
discovered by a man by the name
of Hogle who has a homestead
near there and who was walk
ing home on the track. He
tried to remove it but was un-
successful and SO waited for the
train and tagged it.
He is an old railroad man hav-
ing worked in the shops at Pot
latch and realized that if the
train should pass over the part
ly open switch it was certain TO
be derailed which would mean a
bad wreck.
The chain is supposed TO have
been dragging from a logging
train and caught and wedged it.

Lewiston Vets

MOSCOW-July THE mud

paieaiion for a permanent iniunc-
o. against the board Of unity

trict court was petitoned to grant

sioners TO reconyene and to de-
care the result of the election
:" have been two votes majority
for the dries, was before Judge
Steele this afternoon and result
ed in complete victory for The
vets in both cases.
The election was held on May
27 and there was no certihcation
properly filed out for any of the
returns; that Lewiston precinct
No. 1 showed that the total wet
and total dry vote aggregated
five more than all the votes cast
in that precinct; that these un-
official returns indicated that the
county had been voted dry by two
majority, but that this was the re
suit of an unofficial labulation
worked Out by the dry forces.
The records in the case further
show that there were incomplete
returns fro mevery precinct in
the county for lack of certiica-
tion.
A resolution was passed by the
county board directing the shcr-
in to return the election returns
lo precinct election judges and
clerks for correction and certifi-
cation. The county commission
ers mel again ON June 8 and then
canyassed the election returns
for The first time, finding that The
election had been carried by The
vets by % votes.
"such proceedihgsas were had
i'm this case, the court announ-
eed. were of common occurrence
and iihas been universally held
that such proceedings were pro-
videdior by statute and so, far as
shown by the record, the county
commissioners acted legally with
in their official duty"
This settled the writ Of mandate
and since it has the effect of hold
| ing that Nez perce county did vot
net by 22 majority there could
be no grounds for granting an in
junction against the county COM
missioners. Il is considered this
ruling Of Judge Steele will settle
these cases.

PROHIBITION PLANK IN ALL PLATFORM
IIawIew Defeats Nueent And Organizes The Dem
OCratiC Platform Convention

conventions finished their work
Wednesday and filed their plat
forms with the secretary of state
The drys won a signal victory in
all three conventions. Each Of
the platforms contain the strong
est kind of a plank declaring
both for constitutional and state
wide prohibition by legislative
enactment.
The vets made their last stand
before the resolutions committee
of the republican convention and
being defeated, practically made
no fight on the invention floor.
I'm the ce nocratic convention
they fought hard to prevent
adoption a plank declaring for
prohibition by constitutional a.
mendment forever prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquor in Idaho, but
lost.
They made practically no op-
position in the progressive con-
vention.
The socialists overlooked the
liquor issue and do not refer to
il in their platform.
The resolutions committee of
the democratic convention report
ed the platform without any ref
erence TO the liquor question.
An amendment was Immediately
offered declaring for constitu-
tiOnal prohibition amendment
and this opened a fight. A mo-
ton to table the plank was lost
by vote of 81 to 95 and the
plank was then adopted by vote
of l22 TO So.
The democratic platform alse
declared for the repeal Of the
public utilities act and the abol-
lshmenl of the Office of immigra-
tion commissioner and state sup
erintendent of public instruction
The republicans commended
the measure prepared by the
workman's compensation COM

QUITS SUPREME COURT
Will Try For The Republican Nom
inatIOn For Senator

Chief Justice Ailshie will retire
from the supreme bench of the
state July 20, and has filed with
Governor Haines his formal res
ignation together with a commun
ication explaining his action.
The resignation itself is brief
and formal.
In his letter Judge Ailshie says
Last February when l announc
cd my intention of resigning
from the bench before the pri-
maries, l could not, of course,
forsee the desperate illness of
Justice Stewart. It is well
known to his intimate friends
that Justice Stewards great de-
sire for usefulnes has been his
inspiration for a long and heroic
battle for health. Under such
circumstance and conditions my
first duty was to the state and
litigants whose cases had been
argued and submitted.
"In discharging that duty !
have been obliged to neglect the
interests Of my campaign and
forego making a campaign such
as l had hoped and expected TO
make.
I'VE anticipate being able To
finally dispose of all business
now pending and under advise
ment prior to July 20, except i'm
a few cases on which Justice Sui
livan and | may not agree and
court will then adjourn, and
thereupOn l desire my resigna-
ton to take effect"

many of these questions settled

believed will start off with little
if any friction.
"One of the best results of the

POStOffiCe Now In
The Second Class
ONE ADDITIONAL CLERK is FURNISHED
No Regular Carrier Service Until The Houses Are
All Numbered

The st. Maries postomce is
now i'm the second class. The
change went into effect Wednes-
day and the Office is now operat-
ing under The second class sys-
tenn.
This means an entire change
in the methods of the bookkeep-
ing department of the Office and
entails a great deal of additional
work on the part of the clerks.
The rules of the department are
very rigid with second class Of
lices in comparison with those of
lower grades as TO the manner i'm
which the Office is conducted both
as lo the Office force and the pat
rons. the latter being held strict
ly To the rules as To the time Of
obtaining mail, packages or
money orders. Also no one il
allowed To get mail from a lock
box without the combination. the
postmaster being strictly forbid
den to give out mail under such
circumstances. I'm this regard as
we'll as in all other respects the
postmaster is held TO a strict en-
forcement of all rules.
Although more work is en-
tailed on the postmaster by the
change to a second class Office he
is furnished with more help. The
Office force now consists OF post
master, assistant postmaster
clerk, carrier clerk and auxiliary
clerk, and are as follows: e. r..
Hawley postmaster; Clarence p.
Sweeney, assistant postmaster
Garnet Clawson, clerk; Frank
Malx,carrierclerk ;and Jessie Haw
ley, auxiliary clerk.
Appointments outside of tn.
postmaster are all subject to the

Postmaster Hawley had hopeC
for full carrier system but he
found that it was utterly impos

I'm order to obtain a full carrier
