Bartlett Sinclair returned yester-
day from Boise where he had been
attending the State Lincoln day ban
quet, and spoke on the topic, "The
Republican Party in Idaho" and
where he represented Boundary coun-
ty at the meeting of the state CEN
trail committee.
Mr.. Sinclair declared the banquet,
both as a gastronomic treat and a
political event, to have been entire
ly successful. The attendance was
larger than on any previous occa-
sion and harmony and enthusiasm
were pronounced.
"Boise did itself proud" said he,
"having left no stone unturned to
make the day memorable. The ban
quet hall of the Owyhee was crowd
ed to the doors. Mr.. Babb's address
on Lincoln was very good and Judge
Sweely, of Twin Falls, won the
prize / think for oratory in his pic
turesque description of that section
of Idaho. The thought of his home
county prompted him to such flights
of eloquence and poetry / thought for
while he was describing the Koot-
enai Valley. His speech did much
to secure the unanimous vote of the
committee in favor of Twin Falls

the republican central committee for
the selection of national delegates y
81 was gratified to observe that
Secretary of State Barker, of Sand
point, is very influential in the af-
fairs of this administration, and is
recognized as one of the big men
in the republican party of the state
81 was somewhat disappointed to
find that Mr.. Evans, republican state
chairman, and myself, were the only
men from the north at the commit
tee meeting, and we had to repre-
sent the entire panhandle of six
counties. Some of the delegates anc
committeeman unfortunately were
prevented from reaching Boise be
cause of the snow, otherwise the at
tendance would have been larger.

Bartlett Sinclair Writes of
Recent Trip to the South

when l first knew him 20 years ago.
There really seems a preservative
of some nature of both youth and
beauty, in the Boise atmosphere. The
slogan, "Boise the Beautiful" con-
trary to the general supposition, was
suggested, not by the luxuriousness
of the surrounding trees, the peren-
NAL verdure of the lawns and the
graceful lines of the mountains but
by the universally acknowledged per-
lection of their women folk. Except
ing those of our own valley the fin
est of the top-notchers are to be
seen and heard at our capital.
81 had a pleasant visit with Gov
ernor Alexander, whom l knew long
before he ever had a dream of be-
ing the most discussed executive the
state has had. This was my first
visit to Boise since the completion of
the new capitol building. All the
offices are very elegant The equip
ment and decorations of the execu-
tive chamber compare poorly with the
governors sermons on democratic
economy and simplicity. The gov
ernor is somewhat of a Beau Brum-
mel himself in his habits of dress.
81 do not think Governor Alex
ander is going to be an easy man to
beat. People do not, of course, take
him seriously when he tells about
the millions he has saved the state
nor his promises to build impossible
railroads and such like. The people
will allow him these hot air indul-
gences if in the final accounting he
can show by facts and figures that
he has made a better governor thar
his predecessors, which thus far he
has not done. However, the republi-
cans must nominate their very best
man if we expect to win.
Several opportunities arose which
enabled me to become very well ac
quainted with our new chairman, Mr.
Evan Evans, of Grangeville. He is +;
middle aged gentleman of quiet anC
pleasing manners. He is a typica
business man of very few words
In fact, l think he is the most silen
leader l have encountered in Idah'
politics. He is entirely unselfish, a
bright as new piece of steel, yer!
patient and very firm. He is anx
ious to win but would be the last maj
to accept victory if won dishonest,
or unfairly. He is a fine type of tn
high class political worker. AS wei
as could be expected at this earl,
|, day l have made arrangements wit
candidates so that during both tn
primaries and the general electio,
Bonners Ferry and Boundary count
shall have ample attention.
Individual candidates were seldor

Will Play Libby Tomorrow

Coach Martin received word yester-
day from Rathdrum calling off the
basketball game with the Rathdrum
High school advertised to have been
played here this evening, the Rath-
drum boys stating that two of their
players were sick. Mr.. Martin has
arranged to bring the Libby High
school team here for a game on to-
morrow evening. This game will
start at 8:15 p. m. at the school
gymnasium in order that those at
tending will be able to go to the
dance to be given by the Boomers
Ferry Band at the l. o. o. F. hall
The Libby team is one of the best
aggregations in northern Montana
and a good game is promised. This
game is likely to be the last one OF
the season to be played here.

AT meeting held yesterday af-
ternoon the town board of trustees
passed an ordinance dealing with the
issuance of bonds for Sewer Improve
ment District No. /. The council
also passed resolutions which will
be given Sawyer Bros, the engineer
ing firm and the Clifton-Applegate
Co., contractors in charge of the
local sewer work, in which the board
announced that it would accept no
sewer work constructed in the alb
sence of the experimenting engineer
or thoroughly competent assistant.
The trustees believe that some of the
sewers have been laid under adverse
conditions and contend that they will
insist upon the engineer inspecting
all work done, otherwise they will
refuse to accept it.

knights of Pythias Celebration
Yours very truly,
Rev. E. Lambot, DID.

=
Acme Lodge No. 10, Knights of
Pythias, celebrated the Sind ami
versary of the founding of the order
at card party which was held in
the 1. o. o. F. hall last evening. The
affair was attended by a large COM
pany and the evening passed was
most enjoyable. Miss Dolly Bruce
and Harry Kinnear won the first
prizes at the 900" games for the
best scores and Malcolm Bruce and
Mrs. Gale won the consolation prizes.
The banquet tables were loaded
with all kinds of good things to eat
which had been prepared by w. w.

After the banquet and card games
those who enjoyed this form of
amusement danced.
Messrs. Otto Mathiesen, D. C.-Mc-

somnambuistic state, her acts of
somnambulism having been brought
to her attention many times before.
Miss La Lone possessed a wonder
fully beautiful head of hair. 1t was
very heavy and long. Last summer
she asked Dell Cane, local barber,
to thin out her hair because it was
so heavy she believed that it tended
to increase the headaches with which
she was afflicted. AS it happened
Miss La Lone and Mr.. and Mrs.
Burns talked of this incident just
before they retired which probably
accounts for the act. The cutting
was done with a pair of old shears,
very dull. The hair was literally
hacked off just above the shoulders
and only one strand remained this
morning. In her efforts to hack off
her hair Miss La Lone even cut her
scalp slightly but the pain was not
sufficient to arouse her from sleep.

SUCCESSFUL
JOLLIFICATION
Boundary County Republicans Have
Large Crowd at Lincoln Day
Banquet Friday
GOOD SPEECHES And MUSIC
Many Warranted Predictions Of Coming
Republican Victories

One of the best attended political
meetings ever held in this city was
the Lincoln day banquet given at the
l. o. o. F. hall last Friday evening
by the republicans of Boundary
county. Plates had been laid for
100 guests but after the crowd had
gathered it was found necessary to
prepare for SO more. w. w. Fer
brache had charge of the prepara-
tons for and the serving of the
banquet and more than lived up to
his reputation as a caterer in this
line.
Everyone seemed well pleased with
the program and entertainment af-
forded. Charles H. Hoffman, of
Rathdrum, was the principal speaker
of the evening. Senator Elliott gave
an address upon the subject, elm
coin as a Politician" Rev. Hart L.
Preston responded to the toast,
whats In a Name" Major w. S.
Walker responded to the toast, "Pre-
paredness," and pleased in his usual
witty manner, while w. T. James
in response to the toast, "Our Coun-
try" made hit with his collections
of dialect stories. "a Reunited Par
ty" was the subject which Toast
master E. R. Henderson assigned to
Myrvin Davis and the response was
prophecy of republican success at
the polls next election based upon
facts clearly set forth.
The musical part of the program
was treat and each number was
well taken. Mrs. Fowler pleased with
well executed piano selection and
Mrs. Otto Mathiesen and Mrs. Frank
Bottum were heartily encored in
their vocal numbers. The Bonners
Ferry orchestra played a number of
selections and helped materially in
making the entertainment a sue
cess.
The committees in charge of the
program and entertainment desire to
express their sincere thanks to those
VINO TOOK part In the program and
helped to create an enjoyable even
ing.
A large crayon drawing of Alb
raham Lincoln occupied a place of
honor in the banquet hail. The draw
ing was the work of Major w. S.
Walker. 1t was executed on COM
mon piece of blackboard material
and was created upon short notice.
The likeness was so perfect that
Major Walker received numerous
congratulations and pleasing COM
ments upon his work.
Among the out-of-town visitors
who attended the banquet were Mr..
and Mrs. w. ]. Greenway, of Addie,
and VIM. Rath, of Porthill. Large
crowds from Naples, Moravia, Port
hill, Copeland and Eastport had
planned to attend but were kept
away by poor roads and unreliable
train service.

mercy and advantages that would ac-
crue to this benighted remnant of
a tribe"
Of course they are not up to our
standard of living; but one must re-
member that only so years ago
these Indians were roaming at hber-
ty through their own country, with
out any law and with no other master
than the chief which they themselves
elected.
They received the white man with
friendship and gave him land, ano
what did they get from the white
man? Injustice, disrespect and in
toxicants. The government almost
entirely ignored them until this last
year, when, after many unsuccess
full petitions, a school was finally
built for them and medical attend
ance secured.
In closing l may say, that notwith
standing whatever Hon. B. Sinclair
may / think to the contrary, al
those really conversent with thes,
Indians and their mode of living d.
proclaim that there is not in tn,
United States a band of Indians
more obedient to authority, more
soberly living, more respectful o.
the sanctity of marriage than this
very Land.

referred to. The purpose of every
body seemed to be to advance the
interest of the party as an organized
body.
"On all hands | noted an over
whelming desire that Senator Borah
might be nominated for president.
We all believe he will be. 1t was
the intention to have passed resolu-
tons TO this effect, but his warmest
and wisest friends thought it might
appear hasty and premature, so the
mater was deferred till the meeting
of the convention in April"

ELLIOTT BACK FROM MOSCOW
Says Northern Leaders Anxious To
Unite In Support of Northerner

unite In support OF N0rtherner
Senator Elliott returned last night
from Moscow where he attended the
Lincoln day banquet and attended to
some matters of business. He re-
ports a large attendance at the
gathering there and much enthus-
iasm among the republicans as to
tile coming campaign. That there is
real desire to put forward a strong
northern candidate for governor upon
whom the entire north could agree
was plain to all. The determination
to secure the nomination of one
congressman for the Panhandle was
even more evident. AS Senator Ell
lott is the only avowed candidate
for congress up to the present and
is actively at work lining up his
support, his chances for being the
candidate chosen at the primary cleo
ton are very bright. 1t is not an
ticipated that he will have any seri-
Gus competition from other aspirants.
The party workers in several
northern counties have already lined
up in his support and as the south
ern part of the state considers the
claim that one of the nominations
shall go to the Panhandle it would
appear most likely that Boundary
county will furnish the candidate
for congress this year.
