AGREE TO PROTECT
MEXICAN OIL MEN
United States, Great Britain
and the Netherlands Enter
Into Compact.

The tripartite agreement between the
United States, Great Britain and the
Netherlands as a means of protecting
their citizens in the Mexican oil fields
from spoliation was officially announced
today in the following statement:
THE withdrawal Of the foreigners
from the Tampico oil fields after the oc-
cupation of Vera Cruz by American
forces, and the danger of returning while
military operations were in progress,
have made it impossible for the opera
tors of the oil wells in every case to
meet their contractual obligations or
to comply with the requirements of the
authorities. AS possible result, some
of the contracts may be Cancelled or
some of the properties may be conf1scat-
ed and the interests resold.
Injustice to Operators.
THE matter has been brought to the
attention of the governments of the
United States, Great Britain and the
Netherlands. Appreciat1ng the great IN
justice to the operators. who for
their safety were compelled to leave the
district, and so were unable to comply
with their contracts and legal pro-
formally agreed that they will not sup
port automatically any claims to In
terests in the oil regions acquired dl-
rectly or indirectly by their respective
national since April ~, 1914, which in
any way were affected by cancellation
or confiscation resulting from the in
ability of the bona fide owners to meet
their contractual or legal onilgatlons
because of military operations or the
disturbed political state In and about
Tampico and Tuxpam:
This agreement i'll no way, how
ever. affects any case. in which the
owner could have performed his obl1ga-
tions, or any case of legitimate transfer.
To Keep Out Adventures.
There is little doubt but that this
arrangement by the three governments
whose nationals constitute the great bulk
of the oil operators in Mexico will be
effectual in preventing adventurers from
taking unfair advantage of the situation
of unrest in the Tampico district since
Vera Cruz was occupied
Constitutionalist authorities at Tam
pico have notified the State Department
that they have directed that the tax on
oil production there shall be at the rate
of 90 cents per ton. In accordance with
regulations made during the Madero ad-
the rate fixed by the latest Huerta de-
cree.
The Sisters of the Order of the Sacred
Heart, concerning whom inquiries have
been made. are we'll and do not wish to
leave Mexico, according to adv1ces re-
ceiyed by the State Department from
Consul General Hanna.

ARRESTED FOR SHOOTING.

Last Saturday Sheriff Eimers went
out and took Milt Fowler, farmer
who lives near Fem, into his custody,
warrant having been sworn out by
one of Jesse Woods threshing crew
alleging that the defendant had at
tempted to take his life. It seems
that trouble had been brewing between
the defendant and members OF the
threshing crew which had been thresh-
ing for him last Saturday and the
main outburst came along toward Sat
urday evening when the roustabout OF
the crew was taking some of Fowler g
hay to feed to his horses. He was told
that he could not have the hay but the
young man insisted that his horses had
worked hard all day and that he was
going to feed them some anyway. At
any rate he proceeded with that in
tent and then the defendant stared to
his house for artillery. He soon re-
turned and took couple of shots,
whether at the person with whom he
had the quarrel or in the air we have
not learned. The roustabout felt
worked up enough however to come In
and have warrant sworn out for Fow-
ler's arrest, The defendant as ret
leased on bond and the date Of the
preliminary has not been set yet.

ELLING GABRIEL HELD.
Must Answer Grand Larceny Charge
Bond Fixed at $500.


The preliminary hearing of Filing
Gabriel, Salmon river stockman, was
heard "Wednesday, charge of grand
larceny having been preferred against
him by Edd Vincent who is the prose
cutting witness in the case. Eleven
head of cattle were alleged to have
been stolen from Salmon river cattle
men, and it was alleged that they were
IN the possession of the defendant on
the 10th. 10th and 18th of August, he
having driven them as far as Sites.
The cattle involved in the ease were
picked by some of their owners or
the 10Th of last month on the road
above Mt Idaho, apparently having
been turned loose or having strayed a
long distance from home. At present
the Ill head are in pasture out near
town and have been identified by their
various owners. 1t was not believed
that the cattle had strayed from their
home range to the place where found
as the range that they have been feed
ing on is in the neighborhood between
Slate creek and Skookumchuck, that
being at least 35 miles from Mt. Idaho.
As soon as the cattle were located
an immediate Investigation was car
ried on to ascertain if anyone had
been seen with the cattle or trying to
dispose of them. A trip on the way
to Sites from Mt. Idaho revealed that
ranchers all along the route had seen
the cattle passing on the 18th, being
driven by a man on bay pacing
horse, and the driver being followed
by black dog. At the preliminary
trial all of these witnesses were called
and testified to this effect and some
of them identified the defendant as
the party seen driving the cattle and
also identified some of the cattle.
On the 18th of August, between the
hours of 12 and 2, man called at the
home of Charlie w. Hall near Sites
enquiring for pasture for some cattle.
Hall was unable to identify the de.
fendant as the man who came to his
place but the conversation was carried
on mainly with Louie Hall, Charlie 's
grandson, and the boy, who is only
10 years old, assisted in getting pas
ture for the cattle. The boy identi-
fled the defendant as the man who
called.
The boy, and the man in charge of
the cattle, succeeded in getting pas.
ture for the cattle at the place of Ed
who lives near Sites.
Thornton also identified the defend.

State and County Election Results
BRADY AND HAINES HAWLEY AND ALEXANDER HEAD THE
TWO STATE TICKETS. KOOSKIA Sites
GO STRONGLY DEMOCRATIC

Idaho s second primary election was
held Tuesday a nd while the complete
returns are not at hand sufficient has
been received to indicate pretty clear
ly who the nominees of the various
parties are.
On the republican ticket, Senator
Brady is nominated by an overwhelm-
ing vote, latest returns giving him
5,544 first ch pice votes as against
5000 for Judge Ailshie, who is
second in the race. French received
2,799 and Gooding 1904. 1t appears
at this time that Ailshie has carried
the north but in south and southeast
Brady has swept everything before
him, the people of the southeast being
SO anxious to secure his nomination
that those who in times past have af-
filiated with the democratic party
seem to have participated in the repub-
lican primary in order to make sure
the nomination of the Junior senator.
Hawley has secured the democratic
nomination beyond a doubt, the vote
being: Hawley 1900, Nugent 1,34S
and Whitwell 3O4.
Haines is nominated governor ON the
republican ticket by vote as large or
larger than that received by Brady,
and Alexander secures the nomination
on the demodratic ticket in a walk
away.
Smith and Jones appear to be the
republican congressional nominees and
Forney and Dhnning the democratic.
Morgan AMI Walter received the
highest number of votes for supreme
Judge and will fight it out at the gen.
eral election.
Considerable Local Interest in Outcome
in Republican Senatorial Fight.
On account Of this being the home Of
Judge Ailshie, one of the candidates
for the senatorship ON the republican
ticket, more than usual interest was
taken in the campaign and it was
hoped by many that the north would
be recognized by the majority party
and the Judge selected as its choice
for the most important office on the
ticket. His campaign was direced
from here by local citizens and it can
be truthfully said that no blame can
be attached to them for the failure of
the Judge to secure yne nomination.
Reasonable argument was made to
the north to unite and support strong
man but for some reason which had
better be left to Congressman French
to explain, the gentleman from Latah
cast his hat into the ring and in SO
doing divided the northern vote to
some extent and lessened the Judge q
chances.
In the south Brady swept every
thing before him and In the southeast
the same can be said with added em.
phasis. Gooding made . much better

TAKES POCKET KNIVES.

Harold Ames, 15-year-old young
ster, appropriated to himself 1877 pock-
ct knives which were the property Of
the Alexander-F -Freidenrich Co. The
knives had been laid out on the show
case where they were being marked
by the clerks and the young transgres-
sor took advantage of the fact to get
possession of the cutlery Sheriff Elm
ers was put on to the case and appre-
hended the young man and so far has
recovered all but three of the knives.
Those recovered he found in eight diff
ferent places, some having been given
away and others having been disposed
OF in dollar lots. The boy is being
held until his mother arrives and then
the matter of his delinquency will be
attended to by the proper officers.

FOREST FIRES UNDER CONTROL

There have been SO forest fires start
ed in the Selway district of the Bit
terrOot Forest reserve This season and
while the weather conditions have
been the most favorable for extensive
fires of any year since 1910, the su-
perior organization of the fire fighting
forces, under Major Frank A. Fem,
have enabled the rangers to hold the
damage done down to few thousand
acres.
In speaking of his men this week
the Majors enthusiasm could scarcely
be hidden as he spoke of their fine
record. Out of the SO fires over 60
have been put out by the regular
rangers without assistance while max
ing their regular patrol. OF the other
fires none have been serious since the
first ones started, which were in an
inaccessible part of the reserve SO
that the fire had gained much headway
before it was reached. No fires have
been of incendiary origin as on some
other reserves. The force of fighters
consist Of $50 men, while provisions are
taken to them by pack trains number
ing about 10 animals. A reserve force
of men and horses is at hand for emer-
vencies.-Stites Enterprise.

showing than was expected and
French, who some felt would be Sec
ond and might carry off the nomina-
tion, is going to finish fourth.
Cannot Consistently Support Brady.
The nomination of Senator Brady is
not going to prove as popular with the
northern republicans as it apparently
is with the brethren in the south and
southeast and unless the stand Of a
number of republicans leaders and
newspapers in the Panhandle during
the primary campaign was one of in
sincerity his support from certain
quarters in the north will be nil.
The primary campaign resulted in a
number of charges being brought out
against the republican nominee and
these were published broadcast in the
north by republican papers who were
most severe in their attacks on the
Senator and it is but natural to give
them. credit for honesty and sincerity
in which case they will never support
a man Of the character they accuse
Brady of being.
Haw1ey and Alexander the Democratic
Nominees.
The democratic vote was very light
especially in the southeast, and Haw.
ley who came out in the north with
heavy majorities, seems to have de-
feated Nugent about three to one.
Whitwell, who was last hour candi-
date, made fair showing considering
the lateness of the launching of his
campaign.
Alexander has gone in by a large
majority over Clark, who, while a first
class man, was little known.
Heavy Republican Slump.
In county affairs the most notice
able thing was the big slump in the
republican vote in certain sections.
Particularly noticeable was this in the
Kooskia and Sites precincts. In Koos-
kia, which is always overwhelmingly
republican, the democratic ticket re-
ceived 1S4 votes while the republicans
polled but five. Sites gave the demo.
Gratis a majority of 2s and over on the
westside Cottonwood and surrounding
country turned out votes like one
would peas from a pod. Never in the
history of the county was such vote
recorded as over west of u.s. Some say
that Wilson s popularity has thus been
proven in. this county and others are
out with other reasons. Possibly coun.
ty division had little something to
do with it. They sure have some votes
over on the westside and along the
Clearwater as well as most excellent
organization.
