STONE MAY RUN FOR
COUNTY ATTORNEY

Alfred F. Stone, one of Caldwell's
best known lawyers, will be a candi-
date for the Republican, nomination
for county attorney, according to cur
rent opinion. Mr. Stone is an active,
aggressive young man; a lawyer Of
ability; and would make a good
county attorney and a strong candi-
date.
Two years ago Mr.. Stone was a
candidate at the primary election and
was defeated for the nomination by a
very small margin by Mr.. W. A.
Stone-,one of the oldest and best
known lawyers in Canyon county.
The friends of Mr. Alfred Stone were
greatly pleased with the showing he
made at the primary election. They
feel confident that he viii win the
nomination and election this year
with very little trouble.
There is no talk of any other can
didate at the present time. 1t is
thought that there viii be no strong
opposition to Mr. Stone.
When seen by representative of
The Tribune Mr.. Stone stated that he
considered the matter OF running fer
the Republican nomination but felt
that it was too early to make any an
nouncement of his plans. He said:
Unless something unforeseen arises
viii be a candidate for the RepuEli-
can nomination. feel that l can be
nominated and elected My friends
throughout the county have given me
every encouragement in the world"
Mr.. Stone would bring strength to
the Republican ticket.-Caldweu
Tribune.

why NOT MR. MARTIN.

The name OF Guy H. Martin, Of
Standpoint. persists in bobbing up in
connection with the Repubhe an
nomination for attorney general 1t
would be sheer folly for those VINO
may not be pleased with his position
in 1912 to deny that he is a man Of
large ability and sincere purpose. He
made a very active and able
campaign as the Progressive candi.
date for governor Much abler than
Republicans like to admit
There is no reason whatever why
Mr. Martin should not become a can
didate. II the Progressives, who cast
something like 10000 votes in Idaho
in 1912, are to affiliate with Republ.-
cans in 1916, they must be given fair
consideration. Both the success Of
candidates and Republican principles
are contingent upon a united party
Nampa Leader-Herald.
The foregoing expresses the senti-
ment that should prevail with all
who want to see a re-
united party IN Idaho and through
out the country. The orthodox Re-
publicanism Of the Leader.Herald's g
editor is SO well established that
his words may be taken to mean that
all Republicans who are earnestly
Interested in the success OF the party
and the great principles it has so
consistently contended for in the
past, will be ready to accept his sug-
gestion as the one thing necessary
to bring into harmony the elements
that should no longer have any cause
to quarrel over party differences.

showing made by the State both men
were bound over to the District
Court, both being held for their ap-
pearance under the bonds which they
had previously furnished.
We said the Last of the cases had
been disposed OF, which statement
needs the slight explanation that
Thomas Boyer, who shortly after be-
ing released on bonds which were
furnished by local men, robbed his
employer at Ontario, Ore. and abb

bondsmen are unable to have him IN

CANYON DRY FARMER
WINS GOLD MEDAL
LITTLE WILLOW CREEK DIS.
TRICT MAKES BEST SHOW
ING At PANAMA-PACIFIC
EXPOSITION.

Neil Gordon, formerly dry-farmer
On Little Willow Greek, now res.d-
ing at lone, Wash, was recently
notified by the Panama-Pacific EI-
position management that he had
been awarded the gold medal and
diploma for Canyon county, on the
exhibit of wheat raised without r.
rigation on his dry farm in the
Little Willow Creek District. The
award was made On the variety
known as Forty-fold wheat.
Mr. Gordon's success is considered
all the more remarkable because of
the very unfavorable conditions
against which he had to conte nd in
the production of this prize-winning
wheat. 1t goes to prove beyond any
question that the farmers who have
shown their faith in the productive
ness Of the soil Of that section known
as the Little Willow Creek country
have not been mistaken in their be-
lief that 1t would sooner or later be-
come one of the richest agricultural
sections of the entire state. There
is little wonder that they are strain
ing every nerve to secure a system
Of irrigation that will make 1t pos
sible for them to carry on sys-
tenn of farming that will bring f;nan-
cial success and make OF that COM
munity one OF the most prosoero~s
and at the same time most desirable
localities to be found in the entire
State Of Idaho.
