Geo. Schwaner, Commissioner

1t is authoritively announced that w.
J. Taper, of Richfield, member and
chairman of the Board OF County Com
missioners, will not accept renomina-
ton to that responsible Office, and so
the place will have to be filled by new
man.
AS partisan politics will be almost
effaced this year, owing the direct
lection of senators which takes away
from the legislature the senatorial
election and the chief reason for par
tisanship in any of the county elections,
the people will be able to agree on 1.-The
best men" regardless of politics. In
this case, it is almost unanimous in
Richfield, at least so far as the Record
er is able to see or judge, that George
s. Schwaner, cashier of the First State
Bank of Richfeld, would be an ideal
man to name for this business Office.
Mr. Schwaner has been cashier of the

bank for four years, and is known to
every one here as a capable, progressive
business man. He has the courage and
the ability to carry through to the limit,
any plan that he may adopt; and while
he isn't any hand to pose in public. lin
deed, he is the most modest man in
town, for any kind of proposition--he
is well read and well versed in business
affairs. When the state treasurer said
that the Richfield Bank was one of the
best country banks in Idaho, he meant
just such quiet but efficient business
ability. Mr.. Schwaner would have the
united support of this community, with
out regard to party, and would be a
valuable man on the county board. They
have more than 5000, 900 to spend every
year, and it is vital to have man of
discretion and courage to look after
getting proper results from so much
expenditure.

COLD WEATHER
Tender Stuff is Nipped All Over
The West.

Idaho was visited by cold spell, the
last of last week, which was just little
bit to cold to cover up. Some little dam
age was done here to tender garden
stuff, corn, early potatoes, small fruits,
etc., but the main crops were apparent
ly not injured in the least. There were
few orchards on the tract that would
have borne fruit this season, and they
will probably lose all their first CROP
perhaps two or three bushels of fault
over the whole tract. But the great
staples of alfalfa and grain will be I'M
injured in the least and not single
pig or calf is reported as frost-bitten.
The cold spell was general. At Weser,
on the Snake river beyond Boise, and
in the heart of a recognized fruit
country, the thermometer registered %
degrees; and the frost nipped their gar
dens and fruits quite seriously At
Boise, considerable damage was done
to gardens and orchards; but much more
was averted by the use of smudge pots
and fires in the orchards.
1t isn't pleasant to tell of these things
but they come to every part of the
country. The writer recalls hard frost
that visited Iowa the last of June, one
year, and cut off the corn fields like
giant scythe; so that most of the fields
had to be replanted, and there was no

CANDIDATES COMING
Asdirants for State Offices viii
Visit RichfieId

Richfield should have two prominent
men of Idaho in, town this week---M E.
Lewis, of Moscow, candidate for the
republican nomination for governor, and
John Eagleson, of Boise, candidate for
state treasurer.
Mr. Lewis is making vigorous cam
paign; getting out amoung the people,
finding what they want, how they live,
how they have been treated, what could
be made better in government, in taxes,
in social affairs. He is farmer him
self, and the tax question is vital one
to him as it is to every other farmer.
While serving on the board of regents
for the state university, he started suit
to compel some of the contractors to
live up to what they had promised the
state---and he made monumental and
winning fight for honestly and fair deal
ing in serving the state. Mr.. Lewis is
not of the ''high and mighty" type,
neither is he of the smooth, promising
type; but sound, square, quiet man
who does things as they should be done.
He has served on a number of state
and county boards---as regent of the
university, as state senator, as member
of the road commission, as president of
the Latah county fair---all of them I'M
paid jobs where one gets nothing but
the satisfaction of making the country
better as good citizen should. He
would be the ideal governor for people |
like those on the Richfeld tract---men
and women who believe that public Of
fee is a public trust, who know that
their taxes are to high and their results
too low, who want to see something
better in government than they have
been having.
Mr.. Eagleson is of family well
snown in Idaho, and he is getting some
rood encouragement in his race for the
reasurership. He is a business man of
Ibility and discretion, and will deserve
good support.
