Notes of Interest,"

Boise, June 100. NJ. Van Duyn,
former assistant attorney general, was
tiansacting legal business in Boise
last Wednesday. 1t will be recalled
that Mr.. Van Duyn made a very ere
ditable race for the nomination for
attorney general three years ago, be-
ing defeated by a very narrow margin
by one of the strongest competitors
that could have possibly been been
put up against him. 1t was generally
been supposed that Van would bide
his time and seek the high honor I'M
der more propitious circumstances
but he announces that he is out of pol
itics. When he retired from Office.
he returned to Caldwell. where he had
served three terms as County attor-

and has been very successful. Mr..
Van Dyn says that he has come to the
conclusion that there is nothing in
politics but little honor and that
that is empty and fleeting. However,
men of character, ability and energy
are. often drafted into the service of
their party.

Idaho's Congressional Delegation.

Senator Brady is dividing his time
between his irrigation project at
Mountain Home and his farm at Poca-
tello. He addressed the Southern
Idaho Motor Association in Boise on
Wednesday evening The Senator is
a good roads enthusiast and started
the good work while he was COVER
nor of state.
Senator Borah has offices in the Ida
no building where he performs his
official duties. The Senator is a hard
DDS that one would little dream that
president. He is in great demand
for speeches from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. but he has accepted few in
vitations. 1t is his desire to remain
in Idaho in order that he may visit
all parts of the state before returning
to Washington.
Congressman McCracken finds that
his correspondence has grown won
derfully and he is mastering the rou-
tine duties of a new congressman.
Congressman Smith has not appear
ed at the capital as yet, but it is I'M
derstood that he will tour the state
later in the summer.
Former Congressman French is in
Chicago, engaged in educational work.
The Irish on the War Pash.
There is trouble up in the new
county of Boundary and the Irish are
on the war path. This is due to
blunder on the part of Governor Alex
ander in making some of his APP
pointments for the new county.
When the new county became as
sured, it was conceded that James
Fitzpatrick would be appointed by
the Democratic governor as ono OF
the county commissioners. In fact.
titzpatrick'S name was given out in
the prematurely announced slate. but
when the commissions were issued
short time ago. the name of COM
parative newcomer in the county was
substituted for that of Fitzpatrick
James Fitzpatrick was one of the
first settlers in the Kootenai Valley
the present most populus part of the
new county. He has lived there over
thirty years and has prospered, being
the largest owner of agricultural land
in Boundary county. Being a heavy
taxpayer and successful business
man, he would have made an ideal
county commissioner. As to his
Democracy, it is of the dyed in the
wool quality, and he has several
times led his party's forlorn hope in
the old county of Bonner, always
strongly Republican. Just how as good
a politician as Governor Alexander
came to turn him down is difficult TO
understand, but it is charged that
Fitzpatrick would not stand for some
OF the deals proposed to be pulled off
in the nav county and therefore he fell
from grace. 1t is not improbable that
Governor Alexander was misled by
certain Republicans from behind the
scenes who are alleged to be pulling
the wires for combination of Demo
Gratis. In any event there is trouble
ahead for the Governor in Boundary.
Fitzpatrick is Irish and he has his
Irish up. and besides he is an influen-
tial Catholic and these two elements
cut large swath in Boundary county
politics.
Boundary has other troubles. In
junction proceedings are threatening

Elton IS Son of
 Australian Author

In Alaska there are many people who are from Australia who will probably be surprised to know that Arthur Elton, the actor who was in Fairbanks last year with the Royal company, belongs to a well known family of that country. It will be remembered that week ago The Citizen contained a notice of the death of MT. Elton's mother, and in letter received from him by The Citizen he explained that his mother was well known actress of Aus trala.
 Off the stage, MT. Elton is known by his real name Arthur Clarke. He is the son of the late Marcus Clarke, the well-known Australian author, who wrote the popular book, For the Term of His Natural Life. !" and many other noted books.

This word comes from Washington, D. c. direct but the paper is bound in honor not to divulge the name of the informant If the name were given no doubt would longer exist in the minds of anybody. The exact words of the message are.
 "The administration is now in full possession of the Alaska Northern terminal of the government railroad and Seward is already virtually the terminal of the government railroad system"

Creek eople Are
 Crying For Teams

Talk about hard times,' said John L. White over the phone last night, i've cant get enough teams to do the freighting we have right here on Dome creek
 Wade Joslin says: "I'll move that wireless plant to the Tolovana inn mediately, providing I can get teams to transport it with, and l an told that l cannot do so now"
 Do you know where we can hire a few teams?" asked Dan Eagan, the Fairbanks creek merchant, last night We have nine horses in the woods. but We have to take four off to haul ore tomorrow consequently, We are short"
 All of which goes to show that all of the horses in the camp are very busy at the present time. The condition is believed to be due to the sudden change in the weather. which made it necessary for those having teams to complete their win, ter's work in about month less time than was expected.

I city Thieves Are
 Stealing the Citizen

If the residents of the city gen orally are having the same trouble as The Citizen, they should have been stolen blind' before this tims in common parlance, as petty thiev- cry Is being practiced in some parts of town, especially along the down town section of Second avenue Tie complaint which The Citizen has to offer is that some person or per sons either too cheap or too poo. to subscribe to the paper, are steal ing copies of the paper from doors of subscribers
 The proprietor of The Citizen has therefore announced that from this time on, a strict watch will be kept on the doors of all down town sub scribers, where the papers must be of a necessity left when the pro prietors of the establishments are away. He has also announced tha anyone caught in the act of stealing a paper, will be prosecuted to t full extent of the law
 Get wise then, you petty larce. sports. if you don't want to get into trouble. If you are too cheap to buy paper and must have one of a Sunday night, come over to tine office on Garden Island and get or free of charge.
