You can buy the best farm
land in the Heart of the North
west for from 500 to $50 an acre.
That is certainly less than your
present farm will sell for.
For IS years we have special
lied in Northwest land and have
sold over $15,000,000 worth.
Fourteen years ago this land was
selling for SIS and $25 an acre.
In few years it will be quoted
as high as your farm is today.
Then your opportunity will be
lost. Act now.

in the Heart of the Northwest
in the Red River Valley of
Minnesota and North Dakota.
The number is increasing every

Why? Because an acre of

from l,400 to 1900 pounds of
hogs through the pasture season.
You can figure the profit your
self. Bring your cattle and hogs

passed through several severe attacks

EX-SENATOR CRUM HERE.

George 10 Crum, of Lewiston, for
merly state senator from Nez Perce
county, arrived in the city on last eve

Crum has recently announced himself
candidate for the nomination for
governor on the Republican ticket and
is here interviewing his numerous old
time friends and extending his ac-
Quaintance in this community. In con-
versation with the Globe man with ref
erence to his candidacy, Mr.. Crum
made the following statement:
During the campaign i shall enter
into no personal controversies with my
opponents who are seeking or may de-
sire to seek the Republican nomina-
tion for governor. i do not believe
In trying to elevate ones self by hum
bling his neighbor.
"A primary campaign should be con-
Quoted so that the winner will come
out of the scrimmage strengthened
rather than weakened, for the final
contest in November. The party has
no interest in candidates as individ-
uals. It's only concern is to see that
men are nominated because of their
ability In leadership and fitness for
office. The chief interest of the party
looks ahead to the election in Novem-
Der.
II shall make the best fight l can
to win the nomination. II l am de-
feated, / shall devote my efforts Just
as earnestly and energetically for the
election of the successful nominee of
the party. 1 am for the success of

Action Of Idaho County Gen.
trail Committee Counts
For Naught.

BY vote of % counties to IS the
Democratic state central committee
Monday decided to disregard the plank
in the Baltimore platform calling for
preferential primary for the cleo
ton of delegates to the national con-
vention in those states where such a
primary was not provided for by law.
The real fight was over the election
of national committeeman, the
friends of the present committeeman,
II. II. Elder, frankly admitting that
he would stand no show against Je
rome J. Day Of Wallace in a primary
election. Friends of Governor Alex
ander and former Governor James III.
Hawley, both of whom are strongly in
favor of preferential primary, plead
ed in vain. There was also strong OBJ
lection raised against the number OF
proxies held by federal office holders
who owe their appointment to Com
mitteeman Elder. The debate on the
adoption of the majority report OF the
committee on resolutions was decid-
edly heated at times. 1t was urged
against Day that he had not shown
sufficient loyalty to President Wilson.
Elder Supporter Seated.

mittee broke over the recognition of
l.. A. Wisener or A. W. Talkington of
Grangeville as committeeman from
Idaho county. Talkington was elected
by the county committee March / to
succeed Wisener, who for the last two
years has been committeeman. 1t was
held Wisener never resigned. Wisener

was instructed for Day. The Elder

vote Of 26 to 10.

a long battle. The debate on the re
port of the committee ON resolutions
threatened to be overheated at times
but there were no personalities. Many
startling statements were made in the
course of the argument, one being by
Harry L. Day to the effect that Gov
ernor Alexander had offered to sup

was contending for a doubtful legal
right and was shifting the responsible
ity of diplomatic negotiations to con-
gress, the house swayed back and
forth in the most sensational congress
sional spectacle of a decade, probably
unequalled since the eve OF the declar-
alton of war on Spain.
President Wilson, calm and conf
dent, heard the early results of the
voting In the cabinet room at the
white house with some of the cabinet
grouped about him. He told them he
was much gratified with the support
of congress.
Released from the bonds OF EN-
barrassment forced upon him by the
dissensions In congress, which have
been represented in foreign capitals
as indicating that he was making his
demands on Germany in direct oppo-
sition to the sentiment of the elected
representatives of the people, Presi-
dent Wilson now stands prepared to
go on with the submarine negotia-
dons with the central powers.

LEWISTON BOWLERS HERE SAT-
URDAY NIGHT.

The bowling enthusiasts of Lewiston
at the solicitation of the local fans
have decided to send a crack 5-man
team here next Saturday night and
three-game series will be pulled off at
the Smoke House alleys. While the
Lewiston team has defeated the home
aggregation on two different occa-
sions, this will be the first match In
which the teams meet on the same
alleys, and many anticipate a consider
able difference in the totals at the
close of the contest.
Contests have been engaged in the
past two Saturday nights, each team
bowling on its own alleys, and the re-
suits sent by wire and in each of
these engagements the banana belt
players were successful, and it is be-
lieved that If we get the Lewiston
players on our own alleys we have a
good opportunity to take them into
camp Mr.. Meidl, of the Smoke House
alleys, has placed a number of seats
for the accommodation OF the fans,
and everybody will be comfortable.
Admission to the Saturday night game
will be charged. the proceeds going to-
ward the expense to be incurred In
sending the Grangeville players to
Lewiston for return game on those
alleys, that will take place at a later
date

Inspectors Find Company and
Government Property in
Fine Shape.
HAS IA MEN ENLISTED
Company "E" Given In
spection by General Grow
and Lieut.. Max CARRIER.

The local company of the National
Guard OF Idaho was inspected last
Tuesday night by Adjutant General
Crow and Inspector-Instructo Max
B. CARRIER.
The inspection was held In the
Schmadeka hall which was filed with
spectators long before the company
made its appearance. The company
mustered 65 men and went through
the inspection in fine shape. On ac-
count of the crowded condition Of the
hall the company drill which follow
ed the inspection, was held in the old
school building which is used as an
armOry.
Both Lieutenant CARRIER and General
Crow stated that the company was in
fine shape and would be able to go up
against any company in the state by
this time next year.
Later in the evening the officers
checked up the federal and state prop.
erty and reported it in very good
shape. 1t required good part of the
night to do this work as the officers
barely had time to catch the train yes
terday morning.
The first annual military ball was
held Immediately after inspection III
the Schmadeka hall and it certainly
was a big success, nearly $50 numbers
being sold. The floor was crowded
most of the evening and the excellent
music furnished by the Lewiston and
Grangeville musicians was greatly ap
preciated. The proceeds of the eve
ming will be used to fit up club rooms
in the armory.
Lieutenant CARRIER seemed especially
pleased with the locker rooms found
in the armory and remarked that q
nicer home for the company could moi
be found in the state. 1t is quite pos
sible that permanent drill hall, LOOK,
100 feet, located near the armory, and
costing approximately $500, will be
built here sometime during the mex
year.
Much credit is due to Captain R. B
Kading, who is in charge of the loca
company, for the ability shown in ia
king some sixty raw recruits and il
three months time putting them il
shape to pass through a federal in
I spection, and it is evident he will max,
good his promise to make Company
e the best company in Idaho"

JOE CALLAN PASSES AWAY.

The grim reaper entered the CON-
munity again last Friday night and
suddenly called Joseph e. Callan, a
well known farmer living near Mt Ida
ho, from the bosom of his family to his
final home, the funeral occurring Mon
day morning at IL o'clock, interment
being made in Prairie View cemetery,
the remains being followed by a large
humber of friends and neighbors to
their last resting place.
Mr.. Callan seemed to be in his usual
good health Friday, and attended to
his duties about the farm without COM
plant, and at the close of the day en-
tered his home and apparently enjoyed
his supper, after which he spent some
time amusing the children and in read
ing, and then retired.
On towards early morning Mrs. Cal
Ian touched her husbands face and
found it very cold and on arising found
her life partner cold in death, appar-
emily having passed away without a
sound or struggle.
Besides the wife the deceased leaves
six children, an aged mother in the
east and one brother, John, in business
in this city. The heartfelt sympathy
of the entire community is extended

That's straight, Mr.. Canine Owner
You've got to pay up a license fee of
So per year for your house dog, or
else Bill Smith'll catch Fido if you
don't watch out
The city council thinks there are
too many dog gone dogs around town
and at the meeting of the city fathers
Monday night a new anti-dog ordi-
nance was drawn up providing for an
annual license fee of three dollars for
every dog in the city. The ordinance
was finally passed and is officially pub
lished in another column of the Globe.
1t is argued that a dog license ordi-
nance rigidly enforced will do much
toward eradicating many worthless
ours and that any dog owner who
cares to possess a good dog will glad
ly pay the license fee required. The
new ordinance goes into effect April
1st and after that date license tags
will be fashionable again and a dog
without one attached to his or her col
lar isn't really in style at all. So If
you possess a K-nine it behooves you
to purchase a license tag.
The city council voted to purchase a

they are subjected to considerable

ordered and will arrive. here soon.

behind him in the submarine nego-

To the rallying cries of "stand by
the president and "is it Lansing and
kaiserY' a big Democratic majority
and nearly half the Republicans in the
house rolled up overwhelming votes
against the movement to warn Ameri-
cans off armed ships of the European
belligerents.
The celebrated McLamore resolu-
tion, around which the anti-adminis-
tration forces centered their fight,
was tabled-in other words killed
just as was the Gore resolution for a
similar purpose In the senate last
week.
From the very outset of the fight
today the presidents supporters, with
out regard to party, swept over the
opposition.
On the first vote which was a par
liamentary maneuver to prevent open
ing the McLemore resolution to amend
ment and unlimited debate, the admin
istration forces carried the day 256
to 100. On that 1872 Democrats, 60 Re
publicans and / Progressive voted to
support the administration. Twenty
one Democrats, 1872 Republicans, /
Progressive, ] Independent and Repre-
sentative London, the lone socialist of
the house, voted against it. This was
the crucial vote of the fight the one
point on which administration leaders
were uncertain. With victory in hand
they moved on the next question the
adoption Of a special rule for four
hours discussion of the McLemore
resolution.
Again they carried the day, this
time 271 to 1873, and then pushed
their victory to a conclusion by tabline

While the doctor was at that place a
