LEASING is IMPORTANT FACTOR
IN MINING DEVELOPMENT.

Leasing has come to be an import
ant feature of mining operations In
the Occur d'Alene district Although
the system has prevailed extensively
for many years in Nevada, Colorado
and other mining states Of the west, 1t
was not until comparatively recent
years that it became firmly establish
ed in the district 1t was at first
largely limited to leasing old workings
and to blocks of ground that could not
be profitably mined by large operating
companies, but which offered good pay
to practical miners who devoted their
own time to the work and who eXer-
cised more care in separating the ore
from waste Then there are small
and very rich veins which apparently
did not justify large expenditure for
equipment which have yielded hand

lease Gradually the leasing system
has been growing in popular favor,
and in the Wardner section partlel-
larly some very valuable leases have
been secured which yielded large pro-
fits.
In the early days owners of mining
upon turning it to persons or COM
panies representing large capital on a
straight bond with a provision that
the net profits on all ore shipped |
should be paid over to the owners and |
apply on the purchase price of the |
property. Now 1t is more common for
such deals to be negotiated in the form
of bond and lease. which provides
that the owners of the property shall
receive a certain purchase price to
be paid at stipulated times and also
liberal royalty on all ore shipped This
has the advantage of giving the own
ers a chance to receive considerable
revenue in addition to the purchase
price and at the same time the parties 1
holding the bond and lease may figure
on making the property pay for its c
development and contribute toward 1
taking up the bond In a deal of this /
kind men of ordinary means are able

MUST NOMINATE RIGHT KIND OF
CANDIDATES TO WIN.

Idaho is republican state. The
fact that the state is afflicted with a
democratic governor does not mean
THAT there was a shortage of repub-
lican votes to elect a republican. II
simply means that republican votes
helped to inflict punishment upon
their own party for the misdeeds of
republican officers. The wonder is
that the punishment was limited to
the election of democratic governor,
although it must be conceded that
events have proved that it was pun
ishment enough 1t is now up to the
republicans of Idaho to show that they
have protited by the lesson, and IL this
Is not plainly apparent in the charac-
ter of men nominated in the primary,
they may expect repetition of the chas-
tisement administered two years ago
The recent revelations in the doIngs
of the land board indicate that some
republican office holders have not pro-
fitted by experience, and that they are
still laborlng under the impression
that they are privileged to use official
position for personal gain. If men of
that type are nominated by the re-
publican party, or men who have
shown themselves to be In sympathy

PROHIBITION LAW IN

the circuit Judge Of the Eastern oregon
judicial circuit. on Tuesday evening
gave a very interesting address in the
court house ate Vale on the Oregon
liquor prohibition law which became
effective the first of the present year.
The court room was completely filled
with a representative audience com
posed OF both men and women. Prac-
tically every member OF the legal fra
ternity Of Vale was pr sent. The adj
dress was not prohibition talk. II was
a very lucid explanation OF the p in
ciple features OF the present liquor law
as enacted by the oregon legislature.
Judge BiEgs went in the subject
deeply. Many requests had been made
by the people of Vale for an address by
some one who has an accurate know

Notwithstanding the principal of the
note became due July l, 1914, no action
had ever been taken to secure the state
against loss until such action was de-
manded by Governor Alexander and the
present land board upon his motion.
Loans Nos 847 and $40 were made
to man and wife, one to the husband
and the other to the wife. both being
prominent politically. The amour. of
the two loans Is $4,000. There are no
delinquent taxes upon these lands but
there are delinquent water charges
amounting to $2s5s.07 running back to
1912
Loan No 672 has paid no interest
since the loan was m.~le, July l, 1917
nor have any taxes or water charges
on the property ever been made. There
is due on this loan, in addition to the
principal of $4,000, more than $4,000 in
defaulted interest, delinquent taxes and
penalties and delinquent water charges.
The amount of taxes and penalties due
is $902.02 and the delinquent water
charges amount to SS63.3S. The pro-
perty given as security for this loan has
been regularly sold for delinquent
taxes each year beginning with 1912,
and in order to redeem the land the
state viii have to advance the 5000 .02
for taxes and the SS6S.SS for water
charges.
These al ) only samples of large
number of loans, number said to be
so large and involving such a heavy
demand for funds with which to re-
deem the security fro tax sales as to
cause the members of the state land
board considerable worry to know how
the matter is to be settled before fore
closure proceedings are brought by the
counties to make final sale of the pro-
perty for delinquent taxes, an action
which, it is said. would result in the
state suffering Ntotal loss both of prin-
cipal and interest.
No satisfactory plan to protect the
states interests has yet been evolved
although it is expected the governor
will not permit the state to lose IL it is
found the property is worth the tota
charges against it.

But One Issue at Stake.

The Democratic state committee OF
this state has been formally sum
noned by J. r. Pence. it's chairman.
to meet in Boise March for the pur-
pose OF setting the time and place for
the next state convention. the manner
in which the delegates shall be elected
to the state convention and the repre-
sentation each county is entitled to in
the convention. There seems to be no
particular issue involved over the time
or the place for the convention. II was
said to be certain last night that no
action Will be taken by the committee
looking toward cutting down the rep
resentation I'm the convention from the
counties. All are said to be OF accord
that the greater the representation the
better 1t will be for the party The
only matter over which there seems to
be at all a difference, and that is said
to be rapidly disappearing, is the man
ner In which the delegates to the state
convention will be elected. A fight is
being made dn this issue for a pref
erential primary.

Day Positively on Record.

National Committeeman Elder is
said in his letter to have been quite
frank in stating his attitude with re-
gard to the preferential primary. The
fact that he expressed surprise over
the fact that rumors and reports could
possibly have been circulated he was
opposed to a primary is looked upon
here by party leaders as more than
passingly significant
/ The opponent of Mr.. Elder for re-
election to national committeeman and
the only other Democratic candidate in
the field for that office, subject to the
viii of the next state convention, is
Senator Jerome ]. Day of Moscow. He
is an announced candidate In his an
nouncement he declared positively for
a preferential primary within tho
party. BY going on record in this
manner he eliminated all doubt as to
where he stood in the matter of per-
uniting the party to speak for itself.
1t is therefore said by Democratic
leaders active in his behalf to be some
what of "a source of qualification to them
to know that the man they think
should be the party's next national
committeeman has been frank in Ak
planning his attitude with regard to
primary preference. II is said they
will look with the same qualification
upon the fact that Mr.. Elder has taken
the same attitude. as expressed in his
letters to those he is on the most
friendly terms with here.
1t is now believed that with both
candidates for national committeeman
on record for preferential primary
and that with the rank and file OF the
party behind il, those in control OF
Democratic party affairs in Idaho will
bow TO the expressed will of the ma :
jority.

following out the language and spirit

This interesting information became

that is said to have passed between
MIR. Elder and leaders of the party
here. Reliable information is to the
effect that National Committeeman
Elder not only so placed himself on rec
ord but he expressed surprise reports
should have been circulated to the
effect he was even remotely opposed to
a plank so plainly nailed in the ma
tional platform. In his letters to lead
ing Democratic party leaders in this
city he asserted, so it is stated. that he
had never given the slightest intima-
ton at any time that he took any
other view of the plank in the platform
except that it meant literally what it
says and that Democrats were expect

May Mean Different Aspect.

The fight for a preferential primary

securing a party preference vote COR
delegates not only to the state con-
vention, but to the national conven-
ton, may assume an entirely different
aspect with the views of National
Committeeman Elder so plainly set
before the party. Those Democrats
who have been inclined to be opposed
to such a primary or who preferred to
have delegates elected to the state
convention by the county organizations
may change their attitude now that
they have heard from their national
committeeman. himself a candidate for
reelection to the important office
which he holds. The Democratic party,
like the Republican party, has been
agitated by the demands from the rank
and file for a chance to express them
selves on the presidential issue through
the election of delegates to the state
convention. 1t is claimed this is the
only fair way for both parties to bring
about harmony within their respective
ranks and to eliminate possible divi-
sion. The argument is also well made
that party primaries permit of a free
expression from all members of the
parties and rightly determine the
complexion of the state conventions
