In Bear Lake county there are few

has been any year since the direct
primary law has been in effect
Neither the Republicans nor Demo-
Gratis have a complete ticket. The
former are minus a candidate for
county superintendent of schools,
and the latter have no one for the
office of prosecuting attorney. The
Republicans filed the nomination of
Alfred A. Hart for county superin-
tendent, but he has notified Auditor
Broomhead that he will not accept
and his name will not be placed on
the primary ballot.
On the Democratic ticket the only
offices for which there was more
than one nomination filed, were for

GnO. CRUM MEETS WITH FAVOR.

George E. Crum Of Lewiston, candi-
date for the Republican nomination
Tor governor, was raised on a farm In
Ohio, and received elementary educa-
ton In the rural schools OF that state.
When boy he became manager Of the
home farm Of diversified farming and
stockraising. Taught rural school for
two years Attended Tri-State normal
college at Angola, Indiana. Member
Of class Of '9S, Oberlin college, Ohio.
After leaving college he spent one
year In Montana, and located in Lew
iston, In 1899, where he engaged In
the real estate business for a couple
OF years. In 1901 he formed part
nership with w. A. and E. A. White
under the present firm name Of White
Bros. a Crum Co., which concern has
grown to be one of the largest fruit
growing and shipping concerns In the
northwest. He served one term on the
Lewiston city council and for a num-
Der OF years was member of the

of his candidacy and was met with
favor at every point visited. In an
interview published In the Statesman
while On the southern trip, Mr.. Crum
made the following statement: "The
governorship, as view 1t, on account
Of its various business responsibilities,
Is q serious and responsible position,
affecting at some angle the happiness
and welfare OF all the people of the
state. The governor should therefore
be 'on the Job every day devoting his
time and talents to the states bust
ness"
The Lewiston Tribune of March 9th,
In commenting on Mr.. Crum's candi-
dacy stated In part:
"He has been an active and progress
sive citizen Of the city, and has not
only served as member of the city
council, but has also given substantial
support to all community movements
Of an Industrial and development ma
ture. In the management of his bust
ness he has been most successful his
years Of training have especially
equipped him for the administration
OF the Office to which he now aspires.
In his service to Nez Perez county and
the entire state as q member of the
state senate he was recognized as one
of the strongest characters called up
on to provide class of legislation that
meant the development Of Idaho's re-
sources. As a member Of the state
normal board he was a leader in the
for upbuilding the educa-
tional institutions of the state and
the scope OF the education
al system Of the public schools. As a
citizen OF Lewiston, Mr.. Crum has
made many friends who will give to
him their best support In his candi-
dacy for the govern0rship. In his
various activities he has been recog-
nized as leader, and only good words
and commentator have followed him"
Weiser Signal: AS announced else
where In this issue, Hon. George III.
Crum, of Lewiston, visited Weiser this
week, and this was the first opportun-
ity the Signal had had to size him up
This paper has not yet indicated a
choice among the candidates for the
Republican nomination for governor,
but we unhesitatingly say we are
most favorably impressed with Mr..
Crum, and II he creates the same good
everywhere he did In Weis-
er the other fellows viii know they
have been in the race when the pri-
maries are over.
Mr.. Crum has a most pleasing ex-
preston and a splendid countenance.
He at once strikes you as gentleman

of sincerity and character who would
rather suffer a thousand defeats thar
sacrifice a principle. There is posi-
lively none of the tin horn about him,
and he has none of the bearing Of the
prattler and promiser or the sinister,
scheming politician who would stoop
to anything to win. without refec-
tion on the other candidates, or COM
parison, the Signal can say with all
sine rity that George Il. Crum will
bear the closest scrutiny and would
make a candidate Of whom the Repub-
licans Of the state could well be proud.
II the north gets behind his candidacy
the people up there will certainly have
put their best foot forward I'm their
effort to capture the governorship.
Idaho moscow Post, of May O.
Politics should be a business PROPOSE
ton for the people. The voter should
look at political questions from bust
ness and economical standpoint The
people should have their own interests
In mind and not the interests Of candi-
dates or political leaders. The candi-
date should be neither politician nor
a demagogue, but man with business
sense, who will labor for the best In
terests of his constituents, and who
understands their needs. He should
be selected because he is big enough
for the job and should use his judg-
ment In handling his job as employee
of the people without chasing from
place to place in order to get in touch
with public sentiment The people
don't elect a man to Office with the
idea that they must tell him what to
do. They elect him because they think
he has the ability and judgment to
take care of the duties Of the Office to
which he aspires. This is especially
true in the selection Of governor. The
Idaho Post believes that George Il.
Crum Of Lewiston, win fill the bill.

COUNTIES BUY KAMIAH BRIDGE



A deal has been closed by which the
Kamiah Bridge company has sold to
Lewis and Idaho counties and the four
highway districts of the Kamiah val
ley, the wagon bridge across the Clear
sideration is $13,500, and one-half of
this amount will be paid by the high
way districts while Idaho and Lewis
counties will each pay one-fourth OF
the purchase price.
The bridge was constructed by the
bridge company several years ago
and has been operated as a toll
bridge. A bill providing for its pur-
chase by the state was passed at the
last session of the legislature but was
vetoed by Governor Alexander and
the matter of purchase by the coun-
ties and highway districts was taken
up this spring.
Both Lewis and Idaho counties
named commissioners to appraise the
value Of the bridge and the Lewis
county men fixed the value at $13,5OO,
while Idaho county's estimate was
considerable in excess of this amount.
The Lewis county appraisers We're p.
w. Kittrell, A. f. Harbke and Thorn
as Thostenson, and Idaho county was
represented by Fred Erskine. Fred
Schubert and II. G. Spedden. The law
provides that no county shall make
la purchase of this character for an
amount in excess of that recommend
ed by the appraisers and decision was
then reached by the bridge company
to accept the amount proposed by the
Lewis county commission.
The removal of the toll on the river
bridge will not only benefit Kamiah
and the adjacent communities of
Lewis county but viii hasten the de-
velopment Of the entire region east
of the Clearwater river

since then and neighbor called her
attention to some similar work done
In Grangeville; the boy was brought
to u.s. After examining the eyes thor
oughly and suggesting what should be
done, the mother promised to see that
our instructions were carried out.
After three changes OF lenses, certain
exercises at the office, for relaxing
cramped ciliary muscles, and certain
other work parents did for the boy at
home, In three weeks they were sur
prised at the results obtained, and con-
fided the above story about Spokane
trip to us The charges made by us for
this work were SIS.
In the six years we have been here
we have come across several such
cases. People who were not aware Of
the ability they had at their door I'M
til forced to call. This applies to all
the professions.
A number have been surprised at
our equipment, and the far reaching
results obtained by our methods.
