Revision of the Election Law Strongly
Recommended by the Attorney General

Al revision of the Idaho election law
and return TO the old registration
system will be urged by Attorney
General Peterson in his biennial re-
port to Governor Alexander
The attorney general says his re-
quests to the prosecuting attorneys in
the different counties for searching
investigation of fraud charges In the
recent election uncovered some de-
plorable negligence In the admins
tration of that section of the registra-
ton law which permits voters to ex-
ercise their franchise when vouched
for by property holder, but adds
that prosecution Of the violations
would have done little wholesome
good, since many errors In handling
the vote were the result of Ignorance
on the part of election officials,
Says Attorney General Peterson in
part;
"The last election in this state DEM
onstrated beyond any question of
doubt the extreme weakness and dan
gerous inefficiency of our election
laws.
Many Radical Changes.
''The legislature of 1918, by chapter
90 of the laws of that session, made
radical amendments of the registra-
ton and election laws that had there
tofore obtained In the state. BY this
act 1t became unnecessary to register
before election day, the act authoriz-
ing the election officials to register
one applying to vote upon his being
vouched for by a property holder or
freeholder of the district In which he
desires to vote. Under the provisions
Of the said act transfers from one pre-
cinct to another may be had upon the
election day.
The purpose of the legislature in
passing this act was undoubtedly
laudable 1t sought to obtain as large
vote as possible, with the least pos
sible inconvenience to the citizens of
the state
Unfortunately the said act opened
the door to fraud encouraged care
lessness and threw suspicion upon
our entire election proceedings.
Shortly after the last election the
attorney general requested a report
from the county attorneys of the var
ious counties of the state upon the
number of votes sworn in under the
act above referred to on election day:
q report upon the fraudulent vote, If
any was revealed by the returns, and
a report as to whether there was any
indication of widespread conspiracy
to commit fraud In the said election.
Vast Number Sworn In.
"These reports indicate that a vast
number of voters awaited themselves
of the opportunity afforded them to
register and transfer on election day,
and the reports further indicate ex-
treme carelessness or ignorance on
the part of election judges in comply
ing even with the plain provisions of
the said act.
While / am pleased to say that
these reports do not indicate any
widespread conspiracy to commit
fraud on behalf of any party, never
theless they do show deplorable neg
ligence in the administration of the
said act.
Large numbers of voters were per-
mitted to register on election day

SURVEY OCEAN BOTTOM

TO THE SQUARE INCH.
(Kansas Clty Starl

The land surface of the globe has
been pretty thoroughly explored and
mapped, but as yet we know little of
that part of the earth forming the
ocean floors, When it is realized that
the Pacific ocean alone is larger in
area than all the land surface of the
world, and that there are a number
of tracts in that one ocean larger
than the United States that are en-
tirely unfathomed by man, we see
how much we have yet to do before
the earth's land surface can be defn-
itely charted. Then there is the great
Southern ocean, vast belt of water
around the earth, and south of that
again the Antarctic ocean betting the
earth, too, and these have scarcely
been sounded at all,
Explored and Mapped
The ocean floor is going to be ex-
plored and mapped. At recent meet
ing of the National Academy of Sci
ences in washington, Professor Will
liam M. Davis of Harvard university
proposed that this be begun system
atically with survey of the Pacific
that may take 20 years to finish, and
his proposal met with Unanimous APP
prevail
1t win be tremendous undertaking
for the Pacific is 1850 miles from
north to south and $500 miles If we
go south to the Antarctic circle. It is
10000 miles wide at its widest place.
and, as Professor Davis pointed out,
even in that northern part of the Pa
cific which has been explored there is
q tract twice as large as the United
States that has been crossed by only
single line of soundings at intervals
$50 miles wide.
The greatest known ocean depth is
IN the Pacific, off the island of Guam.
The water there is six miles deep.

GOLD N ALDER GULcH
STILL PAYS MILLIONS
PLACE WHERE GOLD WAS FIRST
DISCOVERED IN MONTANA
WORKED BY DREDGEs.

The history OF mining In Montana
is connected so closely with Alder
gulch and its place In the mining
world that no story of Montana min
ing would be complete without this
remarkable locality in one of the
prominent places Back in 1862 when
the discovery of gold started hum
dreds to Alder gulch, the pioneers
who were seeking for gold looked on
one of the prettiest valleys in all
Montana.
Even after many millions of gold
had been taken from it by the crude
methods of the placer miners of early
days, the valley still retained its
beauty and attractive features
Alder gulch has played an import
ant part in giving Montana rank as
second only to California in the
amount of gold produced from dredg-
ing operations Up to the end of 1914
the yield was estimated at $6,S00,0 900
The first successful bucket-lift dredge
in the United States was that erect
ed on Grasshopper creek, Beaverhead
county, Montana, near the town OF
Bannack, where the first capital was
located in 1854
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-12-21
Fine Dredae.

The first production of gold in
Montana on a large scale was that
from bars lying both above and be-
low the town of Bannack on Grass
hopper creek in 1862. The rich bars
were exhausted in a few years and
the capital removed to Virginia City
| in 1865, but some pioneer mining was
conducted on a small scale until the
dredging was undertaken.
The first dredge in Bannack was
built for the Gold Dredging company
by Harper and Reiling brothers. This
was in 1898.
One of the questions that arises in
the mind of the man who stands to-
lday by the side of one of the big
dredges of the Conrey Placer Mining
company and looks across over the
hundreds of acres which have been
dug out is, has it paid? Huge bould-
ers piled up in heaps with hollows
that make small valleys between tell
the story of the hunt for gold. over
500 acres of the finest ground in
western Montana have been churned
over and over to take out some six
millions of dollars in gold.
In doing this the ground has been
utterly ruined for agricultural pur-
poses and is left but a barren, UNI
profitable tract.

Bound Over. to the
Criminal and Law Court

Earnest Bardill, a quiet farmer
of the Lone Mountain community
of planters, was arrested and
brought to town and tried at the
Court house in Wartburg on Mon
day of this week, before Bruno
Schubert, a Justice of the Peace,
the Indictment charging Bardill with
forgery.
The proof showed that a check
was drawn on the Oakdale Baak &
Trust Go, by Riley Jestes to Enoch
Bardill and by Enoch Bardill en-
dorsed.
The check was dated Oct. sth,
1916, and was paid by said bank
on Oct. 18th, 1sle, the check being
for $1,000.
The warrant was sworn out by
Riley Jestes who denied writing
the check; and charging said Bar
dill with forging his name and get
ting the money on it.
Since Justice of the Peace tries
such cases on the probable cause of
guilt and not upon the reasonable
doubt, the defendant was bound
over to court, in $1,000 bonds which
he made and returned to his home
that evening.

OBITUARY

On October the 18th, 1915, while
still evening came creeping down
upon the home of Mr. VIM Howard
of lockwood, Tenn, the pallid
messenger of death decended and
claimed for it's victim this beloved
| man.
Mr. Howard was born in Morgan
County on the 10th day Of May,
1878 where he'srent the greater
part of his life. He>Vss married to
Miss Sarah Williams in 1883 and
to this union there was born seven
children five of whom are still liv-
ing.
At the outbreak of the Civil
War, Mr. Howard joined the Union
army and served it Loyalty, disting-
uishing himself in many battles.
He early affiliated himself with
the Baptist CHURCH and the Masonic
fraternity, and lived the life of
christian. In his death the church
and fraternity loose a brother of
inestimable value.
1t was characteristic of Mr. How.
ard, both In his social life and busi-
ness life, to foster every movement
beneficial to the public and de-
nounce with all his heart those
things which he thought detremen-
tai to hin self and fellowman.
His life was not a life of great
notoriety yet it was a life of won
derful usefulness. 1t is life that
should be taken as an example by
all the young men.
He leaves to morn his loss a
widow: Mrs Howard, lockwood,
three daughters, Mrs L c Dillon,
Petros, Mrs Wilburn Showers,
lockwood. Mrs Gusty Howard,
Sunbright; two sons, Messrs An
drew and and Perry Howard, Grab
Orchard.
Interment WIS made in the Law
'nder Cemetery near Deer Lodge,
where without display, without
oomp, without a gifted orator to
give expression to lofty themes,
he people with sincerity of simple
owe paid touching tribute to a fal-
en- friend.
How fitting it is that he should
,e laid to rest amid the home folks
f yore, where all who come here
fter may leave a posy at the
omb of one who cheered us a little
carer to that house not built with
uman hands, Eternal in the Heav-
ms.

Mingles with the darkening maze,

In the evening of our days"
