trolytic zinc plant of the Anaconda
Copper Mining company at Great

charge of the sampling department of

rived in Wallace Tuesday afternoon.
They are here for the purpose of siz-

verting as much of the product as
possible to the reduction works of the
Anaconda company, and to this end
they believe they are in position to Of
fer a more attractive contract than
other smelling concerns, They are in
position to contract for $4,000 tons of
zine ore or concentrates for delivery
by the first of the year, and while they
probably do not expect to secure that
large amount at this time owing to
existing contracts, they do, neverthe-
less, expect to get a definite line on
the possible business to be obtained
here and make known the advantages
the Anaconda company has to offer to
Coeur d'Alene zinc producers. The
Anaconda makes a speciality of COM
plex and low grade zinc ores, the cleo
trolytic process devised by that com
pany is making a perfect recovery and
saving all the by-products as well,
thus giving the shipper return on
all values in the ore. Mr.. Elton and
Mr. Margett will remain in the dis
trict several days, and will visit the
Douglas mine on Pine creek, which is
under bond and lease to the Anaconda

have just begun. 1t was the electro

BOISE, Oct. 25.-The following
statement was given out today at re-
publican state headquarters: The
situation in south Idaho is most graf
flying, both for the national and state
republican tickets. Reports and polls
from all over south Idaho have been
carefully checked, and we feel justi-
fed in saying that the republican ma
tional and state tickets will have
substantial lead in this part of the
state While reports from north Ida
no are favorable it has not been pos
sible as yet to check them. We con-
clude therefore, that unless north
Idaho returns a heavy majority for the

HON. BURTON |. FRENCH
TO MAKE TWO SPEECHES
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR
CONGRESS WILL SPEAK
IN COUNTY.

Hon. Burton L. French. republican
candidate for congress- will soon visit
Shoshone county, and every voter who
desires to hear the issues of the cam
paign discussed from national
standpoint by one who knows his sub
ject through years of experience IN
rational legislation will be amply re-
Warded by hearing him. Mr.. French
is a public speaker of recognized abil-
er to the people of Shoshone county.
That he is held in high esteem here is
Iattested by the large vote he has al
ways received in former elections. His
long service in the lower house has
given him an acquaintance with pub
lie men and a knowledge of legisla-
tive procedure which admirably equip
him for representing the state of Ida
no in congress. Even of more i'm
portance is the intimate knowledge
his long service has given him of the
needs of Idaho in the way of legisla-
ton. He knows the Importance of a
protective tariff to the lead and zinc
miners of the Occur d'Alene district
and he knows how to make his influ-
ence felt in framing a law to protect
the mining industry as we'll as laws
for the protection of all other indus
tries of the state.
Mr. French will speak at Kellogg
Friday evening, November 3, and al
Wallace on Saturday evening, NoVem
Der 4. His visit will close the cam
paign in Shoshone county so far as
Republican speech making is concern
| ed, and his will be the final word to
| the voters before they go to the polls
The public is urged to hear Mr'
French, for he will discuss issues the
determination of which is of vital i'm
rortance to the people of this county

South Idaho Is Safely Republican and
Republican Majority Expected In North

democratic national and state tickets,
the republican party will be success
full in Idaho. The industries of north
Idaho are largely dependent upon the
operation of republican policies and
this will be especially true after the
close of the European war. Farming,
mining and numbering are dependent
upon the protection of an adequate
tariff law at home and not upon the
sweep of the sword abroad. We have,
therefore, every reason to believe that
north Idaho will return its oldtlme
republican majority, which, as We
have stated will beyond any question
give Idaho to Hughes and elect the
entire republican ticket"

RAILROAD MEN FOR HUGHES.
That Is the Report That Comes From
Illinois and Indiana.


Eugene Thomas, of Osburn, this
week received a letter frim a friend
in southern Illinois which throws sig
nificant light on the attitude of rail-
road men in the presidential contest.
The writer of the letter is railroad
trainman and is in position to know
the prevailing sentiment of his asso-
ciates. He says in part:
Here in southern Illinois you VIII
find railroaders who will vote for Mr.
wilson. They cannot see that the
United States supreme court is practi-
cally certain to declare the Adamson
law unconstitutional, a fact when
every man who looks into the subject
can readily see. On the other hano'
over in Indiana at Princeton, there is
a large republican club made up OF
railroad trainmen which is doing sys-
tematic boosting for Hughes So you
will see from this that all ra1lroaders
are not for democracy and ruin.
know of many staunch democrats whc
will not support Mr. Wilson. l be-
lieve that history will repeat itsel'
this fall. No democratic president mas

Judge Dunn Says There Is Just One
Test To Be Applied By Voters To
Candidates for Justice Supreme Court

In the advertising campaign which
John c. Rice is carrying on through
various newspapers of the state, 1t APP
pears that he relies almost wholly up
on the geographical location of his
home town to secure election. This
argument was effectually answered by
his opponent, Judge r. n. Dunn, while
in Boise the other day in the follow

Statesman of last Tuesday:

The democratic candidates Tor
county commissioner are making their
campaign for reelection on their road
building record. They have built a
good highway across the county to at
tract the transcontinental tourist trav-
el. which is all right and proper. They
have given much attention to improV-
ing the roads to the big mines which
are used almost exclusively by auto
mobiles, and this too is all right and
proper. This is wealthy county ana
there should be no niggardly spirit

commissioners done to which they can

Improvements?
What have they done on Pine creek?
Yes, they have a few men and teams
working on the road down there now
hoping in the closing days of the cam
paign to appease the wrath of the
people of that rich and productive Sec
ton who for the last two years nave
appealed in vain for assistance from
the county commissioners to improve
the road. Ore shipments have at times
been forced to suspend on account ol
the impossible condition of the road
and the county commissioners now or
the eve of election are doing a little
work down there in the hope that th'
people will forget the treatment Pint

county authorities.
