A FARMERS CANDIDATE FOR
UNITED STATES SENATOR.

A prominent figure at the state
dairy and swine breeders associa-
tions at Gooding. Idaho, in January
was Ex-Governor Frank r. Gooding
Of the state. Having been governor
Of Idaho for two terms and chair
man of the Republican state COM
mite for several terms, he is best
known outside his state as a politi-
clan and statesman. But in Idaho, and
especially near his own town, he is
fully as well, if not better, known as
a farmer.
First of all. he is an extensive sheep
breeder, both of range and pure-bred
sheep, the Lincoln being his chosen
breed. He has been president of the
National Wool Growers Association,
and is still prominently identified with
both the state and the national wool
growers organizations. Governor
Gooding has sold a great many large
and small bands of sheep to settlers on
irrigated and non-irrigated tracts, and
has allowed them to be paid for out Of
the increase, and thus has helped the
poor man and beginner to get into the
pure bred sheep business. While
governor, and also as president of the
National Wool Growers Association,
he did a great deal to secure better
railroad rates for wool shipments, and
while this seems to have excited some
antagonism on the part Of the rail-
roads, even they acknowledge his hon
esty of purpose.
He is now extensively engaged in
farming and raises 5000 head Of hogs
annually on his own irrigated ranches
He has taken the most active interest
in trying to provide means to eradi-
cate and keep out hog cholera from
the state, and he headed the commit
tee appointed by the state swine
breeders association that went to the
present governor and petitioned for
the buying of serum and for a serum
plant at the capital city.
He has aided the Introduction OF
He mas aidede the introduction of
dairy cattle into the regioh about
Gooding with money from the bank
of which he is president. 1t is no
wonder, therefore. that he is lin good
with the farming classes.
He mas a laudible ambition to go
to the United States senate, is can
didate before the Republican primar-
les. and it looks as if he had all the
other candidates distanced.

COUNTY cOMMJSSIO WILL
APPOINT NEW PROBATE JUDGE

Probate Judge Jones intends to re-
sign within the next month to take
over the publication of the Glenn's
Ferry Gazette, which has been pur-
chased from w. L. Hews. The coun-
ty commissioners will be called upon
to appoint a new probate judge to
serve until after the next election.
Judge Jones, holding the office himself
as a Democrat, has asked that Dem
ocrat be named and has suggested
Bert Bowler as a suitable and accept
able man for the place. Among the
Republicans mentioned are Former
Judge J. L. Fuller and one or two 9TH
ers, including Elmer Todd. The pro-
bate judge acts also as probation ofii-
Ger for the county, without salary for
the latter office, however. Until after
the next election he gets s100 per
month and expenses. Then the salary
is to be $500 a year.

The change in the land Office at
Haley, by which William L. Hews
takes the place as Democrat 10 SIC
ceed c. T. Harte in the receivership Of

BOY OF NINETEEN
CARRIES WH|SKEY.
SAID HE BOUGHT 1T I'M sHo-
SHoNE AND is ARRESTED AS
eoOTLEGGER IN POcATELLO.

The Poeatello Tribune tells the
story Of the arrest of a lad in that
bootlegging centre for selling a bottle
Of liquor which he had purchased in
Shoshone and which he intended
should help him on his way to Soda
Springs. The boy, who said he is
nineteen years Of age. gave his name
first as Jack Anderson ard then as
Jack Everett. He said he wanted to
keep the knowledge of his arrest from
his parents who live at Rupert. The
lad is not known here but it is said
that his parents, who are poor people,
make Rupert their home
The Tribune tells how he fell into
the hands Of the law at PocateIlo:
Everett, being unfamiliar with the
law offered to sell the bottle to an In
dian stool pigeon known as Soldier
Boy" who saw an opportunity to
make hit for himself, so he went to
the police, secured $780, bought the
booze, and the young fellow was ar
rested. He was taken before United
States Commissioner Turner, where
he told the whole story and evidence
ed that he possessed no intent OF en-
gaging in Illegal traffic, but was mere
ly trying to raise sufficient money to
buy a ticket to go on to his job. On
the strength of his admission the
commissioner bound him over to the
next term Of federal court in the sum
of $500 The boys parents reside at
Rupert and are hard-working farm
ers and the lad appears to be along
that line himself. He is given a clean
bill by the officers of his county, his
people are known to members of the
sheriffs here, and they are poor and
unable tc furnish bond, and the lad
did not want them to know of his
plight. He is broken up over the cir
cumstance, and could not repress q
few youthful tears as he was telling
his story this morning"

MAKING A ROAD.
Fine Highway to Replace Rock and
Sand Wilderness.
(Richfeld Recorder)


Work is going on steadily at both
ends of the road between Marley and
Shoshone. The Shoshone people are
hustling with a good crew on the
heavy sand section of the road; grad
ing up the roadway. and hauling in
clay to make new roadbed where the
sand is now so deep to be almost i'm
passable. Some grading has been
done on the Richfield end, just below
Marley, but most of the time has been
put in on the rock work, some OK
which is very heavy. When the rock
is finished, then the grading can be
done. Dirt will be hauled in to make
a good road bed through the cuts, and
clay will be taken in where there is
sand.
Automobiles expect to be able to
make the trip between Richfield and
Shoshone in about 40 minutes, when
the new road is finished; and good
driving team would do it little more
than Two hours, with little effort.
Some of the good drivers would shade
two hours for the journey.

SCHOOLS COME HIGH.
o. S. L. Tax Agent Tells How The
Money Goes.
(Richfeld Recorder.)

Fred Clark, former county treasurer
visited Richfield for a couple of hours
Friday night. He is now assistant
tax agent for the Oregon Short Line
having resigned as county treasurer
to accept the responsible position.
Mr.. Clark commented on the fact
section of the state; and great
er in this part of Idaho than any other
section of the state; and greater
on the Richfield tract than of most
the others. 1t is his business to look
after these matters for the railroad
company, and so he is very familiar
with comparative costs. He spoke of
one interesting arrangement made in
one central district where some of the
children live out six or seven miles
from town too far for the wagons to
reach with convenience. The district
makes a cash allowance for each of
the pupils living out so far, off the
regular wagon route, and the families
can arrange among themselves to use
their own teams to send the children
in to school; getting enough money
out of it to make it better for them,
while ny shortening the regular wag-
on route it saves money for the dis
trict.

CAMPED OUT ALL WINTER.
Burch Family Trapped and Fished
Mid Ice and Snow.
(Hailey Times)

Mrs. Burch and her children got
back Saturday from their winters
trapping on Little Lost River and in
the Salmon river country, Mrs. Burch
returning by rail and her sons driving
the team over and Mr. Burch staying
out there to work in the mines a few
weeks longer Mrs. Burch and her
sons will go to their ranch above
Ketchum to hurry through the spring
work in order to be able to start their
saw mills soon as possible and that
Mr.. and Mrs. Burch may spend all the
time they can before next winter in
developing their mine across the range
from Vienna.
The Burch family camped out all
winter, trapping from place to place,
pl actically lived off the proceeds of
their hunt and fish, never had days
sickness nor even a cold, and had the
time of their life. They love Wood
River in summer and would not think
of summering elsewhere; but they
rather regret that the winter is over
There was never over a foot of snow
where they were and it did not lay
very long, and although the temper
ature got down to 10 degrees below
zero they were never uncomfortable
from the cold.

MARTIN AND GLADSTONE.
Nampa HeraIu.


Word comes from the north that
Guy L. Martin will again be the Bull
moose candidate for governor and
Paul Clagstone for United States SEN
ator. Mr.. Martin is a man Of force
and ability and an active campaigner.
He is not always fair in his discus
sions of public questions. In fact he is
not always truthful, for he frequently
makes half statements of truth which
leave. and are intended to leave, false
impressions. 1t seems a shame that a
man of his attachments will stoop TO
cheap and demagogic methods for po-
litic advantage. He might be, and II
he will get on a little higher plane
will be, a force for good in Idaho
whether he ever holds office or not.
Paul Clagstone for senator is joke.
He is the intellectual midget of the
north, who bobs up every election for
something. He has never arrived eX-
cept as a member of the legislature
where ne bartered, in advance, all the
in exchange for being
named speaker. 1t would only be in a
time of political unrest that a man
of his frothy type could come to the
top in any party. That he will get a
few votes if he is the candidate is
quite likely, but it is inconceivable
that he will get enough to make any
thing like a respectable showing. He /
starts his campaign by making un- |
warranted and untruthful attacks
upon Senators Borah and Brady and
from Clagstone we may expect the
same thing until election.

Policeman Tage arrested man
Tuesday who was said to be wanted
in Idaho Falls for failure to pay his
board bill. Sometime that night the
fellow made hole in the lookup and

the towns in this section with the an
nouncement that the people of that
progressive little town will celebrate
the Fourth in grand style this year.
We understand sufficient funds have
already been pledged for the cele-
bration.
A few lines. received from w. S.
Farmhouse states that he and an
other organizer will visit Jerome on
Saturday, May End, and tell the farm
ers all about the equity problem
These gentlemen desire a good at
tendance of the farmers of this sec
ton as the latter will hear something
to their interest.

HOGS AND CATTLE PAY
WELL ON THIS NEW FARM.

Antoine Johns, thrifty farmer south
east of Shoshone, was in on Tuesday
with a load of fat hogs. seven of the
porkers weighed 1,49O pounds at a
little over six months. The price real
ized here for the Los Angeles market
was $3.50 net. Johns has obtained
the best results from ground barley
with skinned milk. which makes
hogs grow so that you see them take
on flesh. He has sixty hogs now
growing money for him and intends
to keep more. At the same time he
is enlarging his herd of dairy cows
is enlarging heis herd of dairy cows
and is looking around for more, hav-
ing plenty of pasture and hay. He took
up a Carey Act farm three years ago.
Already it begins to pay handsomely.

DEATH CALLS MRS. SILVA.

Mrs. Edith L. Silva, widow of An
tone Silva, died suddenly and unex-
pectedly last Friday. In the morning
the report had come to town from her
home that she was better and that
her restoration to health seemed to
be assured. Mr.. Silva died a few
years ago from tubercular consump-
ton. They have a number of small
children who will be left to the care
and guardianship of their grand
mother and grandfather, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Sims.
The funeral of Mrs. Silva took place
from the Shoshone Episcopal church
on Wednesday, being attended by
large concourse of friends of the fam
ily. Death came as shock to
large circle who knew the lady IN
splendid health since her childhood.

Paul Clagstone is out as the Pro-
gressive candidate for Senator. Voll-
mer was the man selected but found
too much demand upon the pocket
book in running and so he developed
heartfailure. Little Paul thinks he
is the very man for the job. He is
always running for something or other.
He wanted to be governor two years
ago as a Republican, failed in the pri-
maries and then went after the same
office as a convert to the cause of Pro-
gressives. We are not saying that the
party itself thinks the same about
Paul as he does himself. 1t would
make any man rich to buy Clagstone
at his real worth and then sell him at
the Clagstone valuation.

been reinforced by a detachment
which was originally in position be-
yond the treminal works.
Toward the middle of the afternoon
a large body of Mexicans evacuated
their position and are now some
where in the sand hills back in the
interior, where it is reported from
Mexican sources they are expecting
to be joined by reinforcements from
the capital.
This withdrawal, however, was not
entirely premeditated. Those watch
ing on the ships observed through
their glasses a large force of Mexi-
cans moving over the hills in the
western outskirts of the city, appar-
emily with the intention of thanking
a batillion of marines in the railway
which runs east and west not far
from the American consulate.
Prairie's Guns in Action.
Instantly the five inch guns of the
Prairie let go, breaking the Mexican
formation and causing a hasty retreat.
This ended the thanking movement.
Only a few minutes before the
three-inch guns of the Prairie were
used effectively near shore. A small
detachment of Mexicans had gained
positions near the customs house and
their concealed marksmen were caus-
ing some trouble. A few shots from
the Prairie's guns served to silence
that position. From time TO time the
same guns played their shells along
the line Of the shore, keeping that
territory comparatively free from
sharpshooters.

MIR. Newman is one of the heavy
taxpayers and foremost citizens of
the town.
At the election was also submitted
the question of levying $4,000 for the
support of the schools in addition to the
usual apportionment of $4,000, but the
levy was defeated by vote of 46 to 80,
and the result is attributed to a mis-
understanding of the new school law
It will be up to the authorities to find
way out or the schools will suffer
disaster.
In this connection it should be said
that the failure to publish digest of
the laws as passed by the Legislature
and as contemplated in our system of
popular government where everybody
is supposed to know the laws. is the
direct cause for this state of affairs in
our schools.
There has been not word from the
County Superintendent of Schools nor
from any other authoritive source,
so far as we have seen, touching upon
the duty of the electors in this i'm
portant matter, while notice of the
elections was most obscure and per-
functory. In the absence of a general
knowledge of the law, that would have
come with the publication of the stat
ute at the time of its enactment the
Superintendent at least might have
furnished the public lucid explanation
of its requirements and this should
have had general publication. Such
service would have gone long way
toward avoiding the present mess the
voters have made of the responsible
ties put upon them in the law.
Our schools demand the best intelli-
gence obtainable and the present sit
uation in many places, emphasized
their requirements as nothing else
could.
