skinny" Day, G. E. Krakau, and
Thomas Thompson have returned to the
city sunburned but happy, after having
spent ten days vacation exploring the
mountain section around the Hump and
Florence and returning all the boys
seem to be sound and well preserved.
Although there was some anxiety ex.
pressed that Day would not be able to
stand the hardships of the journey he
got safely back and Krakau and lhomp-
son are to be congratulated for the
care exercised. 1t was alleged for
while that the boys ran out of grub
and had to slaughter their pack horse
to keep from starving but the report
has since proved to be false 1t is
rumored, however, with better authority
and reason for belief that the explora.
tion trip will result in some corrections
being made in the map of Idaho county
But laying all levity aside the boys
made some trip and made it on foot.

MAY WRITE NAME IN.
Grafton johnson May be Candidate For
Prosecutor of Adams County.

The Free Press was pleased to note al
article in the last issue of the Meadows
Eagle stating that Grafton johnson,
formerly resident of Grangeville, and
who is now living at Meadows, may en-
ter the race for prosecuting attorney
of Adams county. The Eagle has many
nice things to say about Grafton which
his many friends in this community will
endorse. Grafton is well qualified for
the office and if he lands the job Adams
county will have splendid prosecutor
who will apply faithfully and diligently
to the duties of his office. The article
from the Eagle is as follows:
lnasmuch as the Democrats of Adams
county failed to nominate a candidate
for the office OF Prosecuting Attorney
there is considerable talk of writing in
the name of Grafton F. johnson for the
place and thereby make him the nomi-
nee. This would be a nice compliment
to worthy young man and just recog-
milton of Meadows Valley to represen-
tation on the democratic county ticket.
Mr.. johnson came to Meadows some Is
or l6 years ago and has as many friends
as he has acquaintance. Some eight
years ago he entered the Forest Ser
vice as Ranger and was assignee
to duty in Idaho county. His fidelity
to duty and ability to get results
brought him rapid promotion and he
was called into the Supervisors office
as assistant and draughtsman. While
thus employed he began the study of
law. Later he resigned to accept an
appointment as deputy in the office of
the clerk of the district court of Idaho
county. He was admitted to the bar
ON his merits after a critical examine
tion and formed partnership with Sen.
ator Perry Mitchell, of Nezprece for
the practice of law. Judge DIETRICH
later appointed him United States
Commissioner. In every position he
proved himself man of ability and
legal learning. Last spring he felt
again the call of "back to the farm -
and disposed of his business at Grange
vile in order to return to Meadows.
where he now lives, engaged in dairy
ing and building up a herd of milk
strain Durhams. He has not sought the
office, but like Barkis, is "willin },
that his friends and the democratic
voters of the county write his name on
the primary ballot.-Meadows Eagle.

OBITUARY OF s. L. CoWEN.

Seth Lorin Cowen was born at Malta
poisett, Mass. on September II, 1S43.
He moved to Minnesota when at the
age of 20, and there resided until 1875.
He was married to Elvira Abbott on
January %, 1864. -Four daughters came
to grace their home-Nora and Flora,
who both preceded their parents to the
home beyond; Mrs. E. M. Smith or

In the year 1875 Mr.. Cowen and
family came to southern Idaho, and in
1885 to Lewiston, and two years late,
to Camas Prairie, which has practically
been their home since.
During his mature life he was affi-
lated with the Red Men, /. o. o. F..
and Rebekahs In religious life he was
raised Quaker, and thnouout' life
manifested that quiet, but very potent
Christian influence so characteristic of
that devout class of religious people.
AS a father and husband his life was
one of continuous self-forgetful toll
and affectionate selfdenial for his wife
and daughter-two of the latter, Mrs.
f. F. Smith and Mrs. Sophie Stantial
are left to mourn his departure, bur
for his wife it is a glorious and trium-
plant meeting.
Mr.. Cowen has been in failing health
for three years, and altho cheerfully
making an effort to regain strength, he
quietly passed away Sunday, August
9th being "a years IL months and Is
days of age.
Funeral services were held at the
Episcopalian church Tuesday morning
with interment in the local cemetery.

 SURPRISE FRIENDS

Miss Jennie Smith, daughter of Hiram Smith, well known valley rancher, and Andrew J. Shamblin, government bacteriologist, were mar ried yesterday afternoon at the Gen. tral Methodist church, Rev. W. J. Sims officiating. Only the closest friends of Miss Smith knew of the approaching marriage, no formal announcement of the engagement having been made Since the first of last year the young woman has been employed as clerk in the office of the clerk of>the superior court, and even those who have been associated with her in this office were not advised of her plans until MT Shamblin appeared there for the mar riage license.

While his headquarters at pres ent are in Indio, Cal. he is sent all over the country by the government lie however, expects to be in Califor- mia some time, and he and his bride will be stationed at the experimental farm near Indio
