SEC. OF STATE BARKER HERE
Is Sure of Nomination and Re-
Election This Fall.

Secretary of State George r. Bar
ker was in Boomers Ferry last Fri
day, coming up by automobile from
Standpoint where he had been spend
ing a ten days outing. Mr.. Barker
is confident of his denomination and
reelection.
II have had some opposition" said
Mr.. Barker, "but the sources of
such opposition are personal ones.
One in public Office cannot satisfy
the officeholders or those who want
to attain office. The land board
has been under fire as the land
board usually is when election time
comes. The opposition always CEN
tiers there. Ned Jenness has a
paper at Nampa and he was dis
charged from the position of register
of the land department. He natur-
ally is sore and hopes to get re-
instated with an entire new adj
ministration. Robert Kircheval of
Occur d'Alene was recently appoint
ed to this position and it is the
first time a northern man has been
recognized in the two important po-
sitions of register or commissioner
of the land department. The Cap
ital News has always been my enemy

icism of Governor Alexander in APP

private secretary and thus securing
publicity through the Capital News

been the case with the irrigation

DESERVES A SECOND TERM
Disgruntled Politicians Seek to Dis
place Northern Candidate.

George Barker needs no defense
in Northern Idaho from the mug
wumps in the republican party who
have, for personal reasons, sought
to bring a candidate into the field
against his denomination for secre-
tary of state. His integrity was es-
tablished by a dozen years residence
In Bonner county where his paper
was known throughout the state as
a stalwart republican organ. He
fought fairly and Loyalty for the
republican cause in the state and,
If any man earned recognition from
his party, he did. He paid his
debts, built up a fine newspaper
property and with the paper well
on its feet met the democratic slump
of hard times.
Earning a respite from the ard
uous duties of a country editor he
asked his party for the recognition
due him, received it and was duly
proud of it. He has been secretary
of state in his own name and has
gone about his duties in that high
office fearlessly and intelligently. 1t
is the unwritten law of his party
that faithful performance of duty
shall be recognized with a second
term. Some political enemies, COM
prising men who were loosened from
the public crib after years of rec
ognition or who failed to secure
the recognition they thought their
due, other men who sought special
privilege at the hands of the land
board and did not receive it. have
sought Mr.. Barker's defeat at this
time. But the great majority com
prising the intelligent vote of the
republican party in this state long
ago. recognized Mr.. Barker's worth
to the state, that he has administered
the affairs of his office with its
great increasing business without adj
ditional cost to the taxpayer and
has stood for clean politics and a
high conception of his duty as a
member of the important admin
istrative boards. This vote has as
serted itself in the formulative
period of the primary and it is with
pleasure that we see that the OBJ

gister of the land department, "Jim-

TO HOLD FAIR
HERE THIS FALL
Kootenai Valley Commercial Club Com
mittee Returns Most Favorable
Report Tuesday
A. ]. KENT ELECTED PRESIDENT
Will Be Held During Month OF October
Three Days
A. ]. KENT ELECTED PRESIDENT

A county fair will be held in Boun-
Diary county during the month of
October and will be held under the
auspices of the Kootenai Valley Com
mercial club. This decision was
reached at a meeting of the COM
mercial club held Tuesday evening
When A. j. Kent was elected chair
man of the executive committee hav-
ing in charge all arrangements for
the proposed fair, and was empow-
cred to appoint the other members
of the committee.
Several weeks ago a committee
was appointed by President Wiley
to investigate and report upon the
ACCESSIBILITY of holding a county fair
this fall. Chairman Sinclair, of this
committee, made a report advising
the holding of the fair and advising
that A. j. Kent be placed in charge
of the fair. The committee reported
that many citizens of the county
had been consulted and that the SEN
timent in favor of holding a fair
was practically unanimous. The
committee recommended Mr.. Kent
as the head of the fair organization
because of his success in previous
years in this capacity. 1t was sug-
gested that the fair be held for
three days of week and on Thurs
day Friday and Saturday.
Mr.. Kent has accepted the man
agement of the 1916 fair and plans
to proceed at once to arrange for
advertising, secure premiums and
cash donations, get out premium
list, prepare rules and regulations
governing the exhibits and make a
canvass of the county for exhibits
of fruits, grains, grasses, vegetables
stock of all kinds, minerals, etc.
The Kootenai Valley Commercial
club hopes to make arrangements in
the near future to secure permanent
quarters. Mrs. Belle Bishop has of
fered free of all charge a frame
building on Main street formerly oc-
cupied by c. d. Simonds' Drug store
and j. w. Reid will donate the use
of his lot on which the building
stands. Permission must be secured
from the town council of Boomers
Ferry to allow the building to re-
main on the present site as it is
now there in confliction with the
city fire ordinance. A committee
composed of S. E. Henry and r. f
Clapp was appointed to secure per-
mission from the city council tc
leave the building on the Reid lot
The committee was also instructed
to see what could be done about
purchasing the building.
A committee composed of A. j
Kent, w. B. Hawkins and Bartlett
Sinclair was appointed by President
Wiley to draft resolutions asking the
reclamation department at Wash
ington, d. c., to print for public
distribution the reports of engineers
of the feasibility of the Kotenai val
ley drainage project. This report
will probably be completed before
the first of the year and it is strong
| ly intimated that the report will
be a favorable one.

for the fall campaign will be laid.
A membership committee has been
appointed, which will make an eff
fort to secure 500 members of the
Hughes and Fairbanks club in Bon
ners Ferry precinct alone. 1t is
probable that several precincts of
of the county will organize aux
iliary clubs in the near future. The
following are the members of the
membership committee: A. j. Kent
chairman, c. w. King, D. C. McColl,
o. C. Wilson, w. H. Heathershaw.
The organization meeting was
held at Kent's hall last Friday eve
ming and was well attended. Sec
rotary of State George r. Barker,
of Boise, was present and gave a
brief talk. He told that Ada coun-
ty, the largest in population in Idaho
had formed the first Hughes and
Fairbanks club and that the repub-
licans of that county, after a division
caused by factionalism for foul
years, was reunited. He stated that
the feeling all over the state was
that this was a republican year anC
he estimated that the republican ma
iority in Idaho at the November cleo
ton would be between 10000 anC
$4,000.
Mr.. Barker ridiculed Governor
Alexander's 1914 election promises
of saving the state a million dol
lars in taxes. The speaker tolC
that the Governor considered tina
he had saved the state money thru
the use of his veto powers. HI
suggested that the Governor coul'
have made a greater impression i
he had arranged with his Legislature
to pass bills calling for an extr;
million dollars of appropriations. H
could have then used his veto powe
and claimed to have saved the stat
two million dollars

Sewer Committee Holds Contractors
Money Until Inspection Is Made

The sewer committee held a meet
ing Wednesday evening to consider
the request of Clifton-Applegate COM
pany, the sewer contractors, for a
further payment on account for con-
struction of the sewer.
While the cursory inspection of
the sewer system as far down the
line as possible at the present time
indicates that the sewer is in ex-
cellent condition and not affected
by the high water, by advise of
Attorneys Bottum & Wilson, the sew
er committee refused to make any
further payments to Clifton-Apple-
gate company for the reason that
the sewer is not completed at the
septic tank and the actual condition
of the whole sewer can not be de-
termined with out a thorough in
spection by the engineers of the
town.
The committee also refused to al
low the bill of the Bonner Water
& Light company for work done
in changing the water mains 81 the
sewer could be laid, the committee
being advised by it's attorneys that
neither the town nor the sewer dis
trict could be charged with such
work as the streets belong TO the
people and municipal enterprises
have the right of way in he use
of the streets at any time thew de-
sire to use them.
