UNITED STATES PLACE.
Feature Editorial of London Daily News
Pays Remarkable Tribute to Wilson.

London, Nov. H." When Europe
energies from the present struggle the
balance of the hemisphere will have
been fundamentally changed in favor
Of the western, and the United States
will have an authority in the affairs of
the world which it never had before,
and which, even if it had, it's historic
policy would not have permitted it to
exercise
This declaration is contained in a
feature article in the Daily News, writ
ten by Alfred G. Gardiner, editor of
the newspaper, who, in emphasizing the
indebtedness of the entente allies to the
United States in the matter of muai-
tions says:
"We rejoice in the election of the
most sagacious statesman the United
States has thrown up since Lincoln. If
we have reason to be thankful that My.
Wilson was elected in 1912 there is still
more reason to be thankful that he was
reelected in 1916. 1t is the one indispu-
table CLEAN Of light in the dark fIture
that lies before the world. 1t
is to do something nobler than the
building of higher tariff wall for the
American plutocracy that he comes back
to power. 1t is to establish society
of nations and to change the whole doc
trine of force in the world.
"He cannot eliminate force, but it is
in his power and the power of the
American nation to make force grind
the wheels of peace instead of the
wheels of war. This will not be wei
coined by the militarists of any coun-
tries; it will be treated as a mere day
dream by those who believe war an in
destructible character of human society
But it will have the passionate sup
port of the common people of all lands
and it is the only hope of democracy
winning an enduring victory over despo
tism.''

(From the Mountaineer.)

The Kerr Cedar company have a crew
of men up the river after another drive
of cedar poles. re the weather permits,
the poles will he IN their boom some
time the last of the mouth.
John Keller and son Carl Of Winona,
returned Friday from up the river, with
cattle which they had pastured on the
forest reserve during the summer.
Robt. A. Hensel of Kamiah passed
through town the first of the week en-
route to Sites to make final proof on
his homestead. He was accompanied
by James Rowland of the same section.
Mr. and Mrs. w. s. Clark left Sun
day morning for Grangeville, where
they will visit with their daughter Mrs.
Lark Kerlee a few days. They will
visit in Lewiston and Spokane before
going on to their future home in Ore
gon. Mr.. and Mrs. Clark are numbered
among the early pioneers of Idaho
county, and have a large circle of
friends who will regret to see them go.
But we all wish them success where
ever they reside.
James Toll was down town from
Tahoe Tuesday with clover seed. He
has about three thousand pounds of the
seed, which is valued around the twenty
cent mark, at this price he will net six
hundred dollars, or four hundred fifty
dollars at fifteen cents per pound. A
nice little sum either way.
The Rawson- Works Lumber company,
according to men who have been work
ing at that camp last week started a
drive of eight hundred thousand feet
of cedar logs which will be doomed at
Kamiah this fall and then made into
posts and shipped to outside markets.
The company early last spring bought a
large amount of cedar from the govern.
ment and cut considerable of the timber
which they attempted to bring down
the river, but on account of the high
stage of water the logs could not be
held in their boom and the project was
abandoned until few weeks ago when
they sent another crew up to the woods
and are engaged in bringing the timber
to the mill.

COLEMAN AGAIN SEEKS PARDON
Application Will be Considered by New
Board at January Meeting.

Boise, November 17.-Although the
state board of pardOns is in session this
afternoon to consider unfinished bust
ness laid over from the regular quar-
terly session, the application of Fred M.
Coleman, defaulting deputy state
treasurer, which is being published as
notice to the board that he will again
seek to secure his release, did not come
up for consideration. Coleman's appli-
cation will, it is understood, be consi-
dered by the board of pardons at its
regular meeting in January, 1917. Be
fore that time the personnel of the
board will change and its political COM
plexion will be Democratic.
The present application of Coleman
is the fourth he has made since his
incarceration. The board of pardons
has as regularly refused to grant it.
When the defaulting deputy treasurer
persisted in renewing his application
the board adopted rule to the effect
that once having passed on an appli-
cation the same application could not
be considered until period of 6 months
have elapsed.-Capital News.

BIG RETURNS IN BEANS.
Burgess Ward at Lenore Secured SIS
an Acre.

return of $75 an acre from the
39-acre bean crop grown in the Lenore
section by Burgess Ward has established
new record for profits in bean grow
ing so far as reported. Mr.. Ward main
tains a winter home in Lewiston and
operates farm about three miles from
Lenore and gives the farm management
his personal attention.
Bean growing has become a very i'm
portant summer fallow crop in the
Lenore section and Mr.. Ward last spring
planted 39 acres to this crop. The sea-
son was especially favorable for secur-
ing bumper yield and a long season
of good weather prevailed during the
harvest period. The demand for beans
to feed the soldiers in the European
war and the crop shortage in Michigan
and California contributed to boom in
prices and the market has been steady
climbing until the new record of 8 IA
cents per pound has been reached and
was received by Mr.. Ward Thursday,
the check for the crop amounting to
5000.
r. >. Daggett, farmer residing near
Lenore, joined with Mr.. Ward in ship
ping and marketing his bean crop and
the Daggett beans were sold for $500.

HERCULES MINE IMPROVEMENTS
Substantial Building Erected for work
men-Lumber Sawed for MIL

Mr.. John Sampson, of Winnipeg,
came down from the Hercules mine last
Tuesday evening after spending SIX
weeks on the property. He reports
that during his stay in there q saw
mill was installed, and new bunk
house and a kitchen and dining room
were constructed. He also says about
100000 feet of lumber was sawed to
have ready for construction work In
spring.
A new mill will be installed as soon
as experts, who are now investigating,
decide on the best method for treating
the ore. The mill will be taken to the
property this winter.
Mr.. Sampson says large force OF
men are at work in the mine and the
number will be increased as the develop
ment work proceeds. He reports the
mining activities have greatly increas-
ed in that section and that nearly all
the mining companies are pushing
development work with big crews.
Mr. Sampson in coming in had a
varied experience, striking snow and
20 below zero weather. He also took a
six-mile walk into Elk City, after his
driver had ditched him to attend a
wedding while enroute.
Mr. Sampson expects to return IN
the spring and be on the ground to push
the necessary improvements to make
the Hercules one of the best paying pro.
positions in the rthwcst.-Stites En-

NO ELECTION FRAUDS HERE.

Reports of alleged election frauds in
number of counties of Idaho have
been circulated by the press this week,
charging that many illegal votes were
cast, and indicating that those who did
not register, but swore in their votes
were not legal voters.
Investigation of these matters at
Blackfoot does not reveal anything of
the kind here. A good many people
swore in their votes, but most of them
are old residents and the sons and
daughters of older residents, and also
the very busy people. 1t seems that
most of the newcomers realized that
they had to register, and attended to
it, but the others probably neglected
to do it in time.
1t was reported that Blackfoot man
went to the construction camp at the
Snake river railroad bridge west of town
and found large number of transients
and voted them at Groveland. Inves-
tigation of the Groveland lists does not
show such vote, and only four swore
in their residents who were plainly en-.
titled to vote.
Considerable has been said about the
greatly increased vote in Idaho, and
some have tried to account for it on
grounds of it being transients not en-.
titled to vote. We believe large mum
Der of this increased vote is to be ac-
counted for an the theory that foI
several years people have been indiffer
ent about voting at all and many have
stayed away from the polls. The break
ing up of political rings in some local.
ties has increased the pubic interest in
voting, the fact that this is presiden
tial year has brought in many, and the
great agitation of the 1916 campaign
brought nearly everybody to the deter
mination to take hand in voting. AL
these causes have served to bring out
the voters, and this combined with the
new people in the state, has swelled the
numbers far in excess of what they
have been.
We hope the corrupt practices il
elections that we have read about il
other states have not reached Idaho
and that they never will.-Blackfoo

the farmers are asked to deliver all
grain at the new mill and elevator, ex-
