LOCAL OPTION
WILL BE ERASED
NEZ PIERCE COUNTY FIGHT SAID
TO BE THE LAST ON THE
LIST In IDAHO.
w. j. Herwig Declares That Statewide
Prohibition Will Carry in Idaho in
the Coming Campaign.

"The last local option election in
Idaho has been held and re expect the
movement for statewide prohibition in
the coming campaign to settle the ques-
ton forever for we believe that the
people of Idaho are overwhelmingly in
favor of the prohibition movement" +"

anti-saloon league in Idaho and has

election just held in Nez Perce coun-
ty, the result of which is reported to
still be in doubt Rev. Herwig stated
today that according to a complete
check which he had verified that the
dry forces had carried the county by
% votes. The wet forces at Lewiston
today are reported to claim the cleo
ton by one vote and it is expected that
only an official canvass will determine
the result and even then either side is
expected to file contests for alleged ir-
regularities.
Mr.. Herwig states that he is now on
Il campaign in all the counties of the
state for the purpose of organizing eve
ry county for the coming campaign.
1t is the purpose to keep away from
partisan politics and to endorse only
such candidates for the Legislature,
the governor and lieutenant-g
Of all parties who shall declare them
selves. for statewide prohibition.
Mr.. Herwig left this afternoon for
Grangeville to confer with dry leaders |
n that section He states that no other
ocal option election can be held in
daho this year in view of the provision
n the law prohibiting such an cleo
ion within five months of general
election. He says he is firm in his
)elief that the state will carry for
which will eventually pre-
lude the necessity of further local
ption elections.

AN ALASKAN MEMORIAL DAY
Judge Warren Truitt Recalls One OF
Early Days When His Poem Was
Read.

That fitting celebration of Mcmor
Alaska even so long ago as 1892 i
evident from the copy of the Juneau
City Mining Record under date of June
of that year, which contains some
most interesting accounts of the frs
observance of Decoration Day in tho
northern territory. Among the .ls
in that city, was Judge Warren T 'uitt
who was at that time United States
District Judge of Alaska. Judge Tru;tt
with the other court officials haG
scarcely arrived in Juneau on The
29th of May for the purpose of hold
ing court the next week. Wien he was
approached by the program committee
and urged to take prominent part in
the exercises. Being occupied with
his official duties for the rest of the
day and evening, it was not until II
that night that he found himself at
leisure to prepare an address. Hap
PLY his thoughts did not come in prose,
but he had an inspiration to phrase
his ideas in verse. The following
poem, which was most enthusiaslical-
ly received by his auditors, was the
result:
Decoration Day.
Again we are here with flowers,
Plucked fresh from the robes Of May
Kissed by sunshine and shadows,
For the graves of our heroes today.
We have come from camps of pleasure,
And out from the battle of trade
From true hearts unstinted by meas
ure,
Our tributes in sadness are laid.
Far from southern savanna and glade,
From rivers that wind to the sea,
Where comrades sank, by bullet and
blade,
In defense of the flag of the free.
They softly sleep in this north land
stark
WILL luOuuIdlll, duu tldCIcl, anu SllOW |
With its rushing streams and canyons
dark,
Where only its eagles may go.
1t matters not, for they can rest
When their toiling day is done,
AS well an Alaska's rocky breast,
AS under a southern sun.
Their names are on the brightest page
Of the tome that fame has made,
There to shine from age to age
Till our stars in dust are laid
Sweet be their sleep, unbroken by
care,
Where mountains are guarding our
brave, It
Where songs of pines, sweet on the
air,
Are in concert with songs of the wave. f
As often as flowers of May shall i
bloom, {
IN down through the vista of years,
rhe spirit of Liberty will visit their q
tomb
Gmpearling the sod with her tears. Il

aroused the audience to hearty ap-
plause.
The girls chorus sang very sweetly
the always melodious "Oh That We
Two We're Maying," some of the
voices being especially fresh and pret-
ty.
Mixed Quartet Was Fine.
After the presentation of the di-
plomas, mixed quartet sang two selec-
tions, the second of which was es-
pecially we'll done. Both the words
and the music of Pinsutti's Good
Night, Good Night, Beloved" are ex-
quisite, and the quartet sang the love-
serenade beautifully. Great credit is
due to Miss Martha Kendrick, director
of music, both for the high class of
music for which she is cultivating a
taste among her pupils and for the
careful training which does not per-
NIT them to strain their voices or to
attempt effects and volume which are
beyound young amateurs.
Jennie Peterson and Lois Warner ac-
companied the choruses we'll as did
Miss Bryns the night before, and Helen
Carlyle and Marie Soulen played
their obligato we'll.
Upon the conclusion of the program,
the class, consisting of thirty boys and
girls, received the congratulations of
their friends.

tions of the city should the bond cleo
ton carry. The statements disclose
an open, frank and fair attitude of the
city authorities and make it clear that
they are desirous of doing the will OF
the people in the conduct of the much
needed improvement and will set at
rest much of the opposition if any,
to the bond election.
BY the City Attorney.
some of the property owners as to
when the interest on the $2S,00000
bonds, for intersections, will COM
mence.
''The City Council has the power to
designate what portion of the district
will be paved each year. This por-
ton will be designated by resolution of
the council, and bonds will only issue
for the amount necessary to pay for
the intersections covered in this dis
trict. For instance, if the City Coun-
Gil thought it best to only pave to the
University portion this year, it would
be only necessary to issue sufficient
bonds to cover the INTERSECTIONS in
that part which would be completed
this year, and these bonds so issued
would not bear interest until the ac-
ceptance of the work; the remaining
portion of the $2S,O00.0O bonds would
be issued and they would not bear in
terest until such time as the future
contracts were completed, in the pro-
posed paving district, and further if
he contract let for the paving this year
was not completed it would be neces-
sary to issue only sufficient bonds to
cover that portion which was complet-
ed under the contracts let"
By Mayor and Council.
''It is the intention of the City Coun-
ell, in the event that the bonds for
paving carry, to only complete the |
paving of so much of the proposed dis
rict as can be done this year; and |
inless demands that cannot be over
,ome, we have considered paving only
n the University district during the
present year, On account of the late
less of season in getting started; in
which event bonds would only be is
ued in sufficient amount to pay for the
,aving of the intersections in that dis
rict.
1.-THE matter of the selection of
ind of pavement to be laid will be
iven very careful consideration in the
light of past experience, and the
fishes of the people in the matter of
uch selection will be ascertained ;
trough a committee of taxpayers ap {
ointed for that purpose" !
