April 9, the fftieth anniversary of the
end OF the Civil War.
Mr. Round. while in Washington to-
day. said the proposed reunion would
be n fitting climax to the Joint reunion
at Gettysburg and at Manassas. which
was held on the fiftieth anniversary of
first and decisive battles OF the War
Between the States. He suggested the
Manassas joint reunion, which was fol-
lowed with the Blue and Gray gather
Ing at Gettysburg.
The appeal. which Mr.. Round made
public to-day for a Joint reunion, not
of the proportions OF the Gettysburg
celebration. Is in the nature OF a chal-
lengc to the people of Appomattox to
issue an invitation for the jubilee.

Row Ended Seriously

Herman Nelson. respected citizen
of the Weippe section, was in Orofno
Sunday. Mr.. Nelson is overseer of
his road district and on the 9th of
October had trouble with Denver Carr,
whom he is alleged to have whipped.
Mr.. Carr has since been seriously i'll,
his jaw bone having been broken, ac-
cording to reports reaching Orofno.
Mr.. Nelson has been arrested, and
will have trial as soon as Mr.. Carr
is able to testify. The affair is re-
gretted, it being the first trouble Mr..
Nelson has had, according to Joe Lar
son who was in Orotino yesterday.
He says Mr.. Nelson is not quarrel
some, and has always been a good
citizen. The trouble seems to have
started over the road supervisor order
ing Carr out to work, and the latter,
according to reports, threatening to
whip the road boss if he tried to make
him. Another story is that the trou-
BILE started at the road election last
spring, and that hard feelings have
existed since, eliminating in the fight
in which Carr was seriously injured.
County Attorney Smith will go to
Weippe to try the case. Should
young Carr die, as is possible, Mr..
Nelson must face manslaughter, which
makes the case assume serious proper
tions, and in view of the former good
reputation of Mr.. Nelson, also the
unfortunate victim of his powerful
punch, it is hoped so serious an out
come will be averted.

whereupon Councilman Curtis hasten
ed to move that it be given, as usual
with the present council, to the Orof-

by Councilman S. G. Curtis and de-
clared carried. There was no dis

Burton French for Governor
Republicans Strongest Candidate

If the republicans of Idaho really
want to elect the next governor they
can do it by nominating ex-Congress-
man Burton l.. French for the place.
There are several reasons why Mr..
French is the strongest candidate so
far suggested. He has large per-
sonal following, and his record is
clean. He stands right on the pro-
hibition question, and can get the sup
port of the moral element in the state.
Nose has played for the church vote.
Mr.. French has always been in posi-
tion to command this vote. He will
not find it necessary to make himself
conspicuous in the pulpits to get every
republican Christian in any church.
Mr.. French is honest, and no question
able deal can be laid to his door, al
though he has been years in public life
as high official of his state. Being
honest, and having years of expert
ence in public life, fits him for this
high honor, and he can beat Nose
Alexander any mark in the road.
What the republicans of this state
want is candidate whom they can
elect, and the Republican is sugges-
ting Mr.. French, not because other
candidates already mentioned are not
good men, but because no one yet
mentioned can come as near, in our
opinion, uniting all factions, and
breaking over into the democratic

Burnt Cork Artists.

The citizens of Orofino will be
agreeably surprised when they have
an opportunity to attend the coming
minstrel show to be presented by the
band. Twenty people are rehearsing
twice week. and the musical fea-
lures will be as good as the town has
ever heard. 1t will be a real treat.
And remember this is to be a regular
colored minstrel show, with the end
men and their local jokes, the inter-
locutor, the song and dance artists,
and all else that first class colored
talent puts on. The proceeds go to
the band for instrum ents and other
expense, and rousing reception
should be given the boys when they
appear in cork. Just to give our
readers an inkilng of how good this
show will be imagine F. Elliot Smith
done in colors. And there are nine
teen other varieties of coons to be ex-
hibited on the occasion of the big
minstrel show.

Elk River Sentinel: C. w. Hart
man has sent out a large shipment of
tools, blacksmith outfit, etc., to the
Wellman group on Jerico mountain,
on which he will push development
this winter. The new tunnel will tap
the lead at l57 feet below the bottom
of the present tunnel with only 200
feet of length, and Mr.. Hartman ex-
poets to get it finished by the middle

this work by the excellent showing of
the ore in the bottom of the shaft.
The lead is we'll defined and apparent

Orofino Should Boost This

Why not flour mill at Orofino? :?
The Republican was informed this
week that man of means, and first
class miller, wanted to locate here
and put up mill, but so far had been
discouraged by citizens of Orofino. All
he asks is location at a reasonable
figure. If so the town should see that
he gets it. 1t would pay Orofino to
give him free sight. Free sights
for manufacturing plants have brought
many industries to progressive towns,
and these factories have made pro-
gressive cities out of towns with less
foundation than Orofino has.

Boost This Road

If present plans of the Orofino Com
mercial Club materialize the street

this fall for travel. Considerable rock

track the past spring by the citizens,
filling the deep mud holes, but until
gravel or some other covering is
spread to surface this rock the road
cannot be Travelled. When opened this
block will give direc, and needed

ner, route that would give a fine,
easy grade. The Republican under
stood these men to say the farmers
would donate the work necessary to
open this change of grade, and when
open the county board would accept it
and establish it as public road. The
need of change in the upper end of
the Gilbert grade is apparent, it be-
ing too steep to ever be of any use as
highway, and it is waste of funds
to spend more money on it. When it
is pointed out that some of this grade

sity of changing the route is mani

Mr.. French did not win as senator.

1t was the politicians in the republi-
can party who brought in into disre-

our leaders forget that republican sue
cess and power was based on public
confidence, and a disregard of public
interests brought disaster. There never
was time when the people lost faith
in the honesty of Burton l.. French,
and today, as never before, the one
big asset, the one qualification that
Will count for most with the people,
IS the sterling integrity and honesty
of the man. Nobody believes Mr..
French would shield or whiteWash any
crooked public official, and that is
going to be tremendous issue in the
coming state campaign. The defalca-
tions of Allen has made it so. The
people want to- know thatsswhoever the
governor may be he can be depended
on. to look after the interests of the
state. rather than the interests of
lot of politicians. And the trouble
with most of the candidates so far is
that theys scan never convince the peo-
pie that they will do this. Mr..
French will not have to; the people
of the great state of Idaho know he
will.
