OF ALEXANDER
Supposed Popularity Of Governor Moses
Alexander Is Not Up To the
Democratic Predictions
MAY NOT ASK FOR REELECTION
The Prohibition Party Will Be Active
This Fall

Boise, Idaho, June 20, 1916-Gov-
ernor Alexander's candidacy for re-
election is still matter of doubt in
the minds of some democrats and re-
publicans. 1t is apparently still de-
pendent to some extent upon the re-
ports of public sentiment from some
of the more isolated sections of the
state. 1t is interesting at times to
listen to some of the democratic COM
ment among the leaders in regard to
his excellency. This was we'll illus
trated in the Oyhee hotel the other
evening when two somewhat noted
democratic writers and orators from
widely separated portions of the
state met for the first time in long
while. The governors probable at
tempt to succeed himself was men
toned by a third member of the
party, when one of the democratic
solons admitted the probability as
"regrettable," while the other felt
that it was disgusting" If this feel
ing goes deep enough among the
rank and file of the party, it is
doubtful if the governor will not read
the handwriting on the wall and re-
fuse to sacrifice himself.
There was a time among the re-
publicans that it was felt that Alex
ander was stronger with the people
than any other member of the dem
ocracy that could be nominated. Re-
cent disclosures of public sentiment,
however, have brought the convic-
ton that his personal strength is
negligible. All that the republicans
will need to do is to nominate any
one of the candidates now before the
people and election may be regarded
as a cinch.
Prohibitionists Will Be Active
1t is evident that the prohibition
lists of Idaho are to renew their ac-
tivity as a party organization. John
Tucker, state chairman of the party,
has issued call for a state conven-
ton to be held in Boise on Satur-
day of this week, when six delegates
are to be elected to the national con-
vention of the party at st. Paul,
Mimi, July 10. The state conven-
ton will have a representation of
1911, being on the basis Of one for
reach ten votes or major fraction
thereof cast for Chain for president
in 1912. The prohibition party fol
some reason for a number Of years
has been in decided allegiance in
Idaho, and it is not regarded as
likely that any serious effort will be
made this year to engage in politics
so far as state or county officers are
concerned. The total prohibition vote
of the state in 1912 was 1887; and in
i 1914, 1887.

"The bridge between Bonnerport
and the depot and the one between

"The water was up three or -four
feet in the boxcars on the side
tracks. The railroad is damaged
considerably all along the Kootena

"The loss to the town is not Sc
great as one would naturally sup

amount, the greatest loss to the
town as a whole is the interruption
of business, the expenses of moving

"Our citizens take the matte
philosophically and already the worl
of repairing the damage is well un

a half century and probably will no

Old Files OF the hootenai Herald Tell Storie.
of Early Inundatons--G. N. Railway
Tracks Were Flooded Then

In connection with the recent
overflow of the Kootenai river it is
probable that readers of the Herald
will be interested in the following
account of the flood of 1908 which
is taken from the Kootenai Herald,
June 9Th, 1908:
Boomers Ferry is now experience
ing the worst flood since 1894. The
of being as high as it was in 1894,
but it is still rising and will doubt
less be as high it not higher than it
was in 1894. The raise since last
Sunday has been very rapid-two
to three feet day-but at present
the rise is only about half that. The
hot wave of last Sunday and Monday
in connection with the extreme
warm nights started the water down
the mountain sides in torrents. This
was followed by cool day or two
but not sufficiently cool to put the
river down, and now, according to
experience, we may look for sec
ond rise.
"a slight fall in the river is re-
ported at Jennings.
"The water has not done much
damage to the streets yet and as the
current is not swift the damage may
not be great.
"People living on the flats are
moving to higher ground and the
storekeepers are busy putting their
goods on elevated platforms in the
stores. Water is on the floor of ev-
cry business house in town except
the Casey hotel, Williams hotel, B.
M. Co. store and the Herald office.

flood. The Herald profited by it's
experience of 1894.
"The river now reaches from foot
hill to foothill. The current is not
swift and the rise from now on will
be slow. 1t is not thought that any
great amount of damage will be
done beyond the destruction of gar
dens, the inconvenience of moving
and the temporary suspension of
business.
"But don't worry-Bonners Ferry
is alright. We are getting the pay
rolls and the water problem will be
solved in time. There is plenty Of
high ground to build on or to use
in filling the TOWNSHIP with. Take
your choice. We have the resources
to make Bonners Ferry the biggest
town in the Panhandle and neither
high water or the other thing can
stop u.s."
(From the Herald of June IL,
1909: "The flood is slowly reced-
ing. In spite of the hot weather
there has been no second rise as
usual and indications now point to
the river having reached it's highest
stage for the season. Reports from
up the river are that the water is
slowly falling and it is likely that
the river will soon be back within
it's banks. The highest stage
reached is 80 inches below the high
water of 1894.
The flood has done very little dam
age except to the railroad company.
1t has hurt the peoples feelings
more than their pocket books and
everyone has accepted the situation
with good humor. Normal condi-
tons will prevail again within
! few days"

beng given to the car of Live stock.
The present cotton crop was economi-
Ically raised. Prices have been good
and this has contributed materially to
improved conditions and the prospect
ty of the agricultural sections. The
tobacco crop was also raised without
unusual cost. but there has been some
complaint as to price.
wing to the scarcity and high prices
of fert1lizing materials, a reduction in
volume is expected in the fertilizer
trade. Manufacturers are doing we'll
and on the whole anticipate a satisfac-
tory season.
Conditions in the cotton-spinning
industry, which have been seriously
depressed for several years, show a
marked improvement. Many of the
mills which have failed to earn enough
to take care of even the wear and tear
on their plants are now finding a ready
imakert for their goods at satisfactory
prices. This increased demand has
developed both in Europe n South
American trade, but is hampered by
the scarcity of freight room.
men in the timber and coal bust
ness in the interior report satisfac-
tory conditions and earnings.
"The lumber trade has continued to
improve from it's recent depression.
Jobbers' stocks are limited, and the
mills are now moving a fair portion
of their accumulated stocks at improv-
ed prices. This has been interfeared
with to some extent by congestion in
the railroad traffic, particularly in
New England and at the seaports.
! "One point in the district reports
$4,000 bales of cotton held in the coun-
lty, which if sold would furnish more
money than could be prof1tably used.
Investors, even in the smaller
cities, are reported to be looking for
i safe short time investment, but not
v%enturing far as to the future. Banks
in large cities are offering money at
low rates, resulting in decreased de-
mands on the local banks. This has
created an abundant supply of funds,
resulting in decreased earnings for
the local banks"

scores of men are working in this

barked and prepared for the clippers,
it is again placed on a continuous belt

basin of boiling water, where it is
cleaned of sand and dirt, and it passes
on to the laundering, hopper-like ma

These chips fall upon belts, which

Section 6 State primary law reads
as follows:
THAT every candidate for selection

Where there is only one county In

vides that the notice and pledge shall
be filed with the county board Of cleo
ton.
! But this district is composed Of
three counties, hence the notice and
pledge must be filed with the State
Board, unless the provisions of the
Act 1911 change it. This act, chap.

toria1 districts composed of more than
one county, where by agreement of the
several executive committees repre-
sent ng CJcn political parties it is con-
ceded that any one county in the dis
ttrict may select a candidate for the

the county who names such candidate
may vote in the primary for such can

While it has been in the part a Gus
tom in this district to permit Hender-
son and Polk alternately to name can
