BIG
LIVESTOCK
SHOW
Secretary Clagstone at Boise
Urging Attendance From
South Idaho.

To arouse and obtain lai 5e atteD-
dance from this section at the i've
stock show to be held at Lewiston No
yember 26 to December 2, Paul Clag-
stone, secretary of the Northwest
Livestock Association, arrived in the
city Thursday and is at the Owyhee.
Last year the show was the largest
exhibition of its character west OF Chi
cago, and Mr.. Clagstone says entries
now exceed those of any other year.
The week of the exhibition Is given
over, so far as the show Is concerned,
entirely to exhibiting and selling pure
bred and high grade animals.
"The Progress of the West parade
is the big street pageant OF the week.
1t will typify realistically the eyolu-
tions which have occurred since the
days of Lewis and Clark.
Many Entries Arriving.
Entries are coming in from all OF
the northwest states and from several
of the middle western states, SAID
Mr.. Clagstone, land we know now be
yond any question that this will be by
far the biggest show we ever have
held There will be more than 100
animals in the Shorthorn class alone.
We will have to make arrangements
! for several more large tents from Spo-
/ kane.
"Since the show was started SIX
years ago there are breeders in the
Salmon river section who have grown
/ rich Just breeding high class, pure
bred stock. One railroad man says
that in the last three years the I'M
proyement in stock shipped from that
section is simply remarkable And
this has all been brought about by the
stockmen themselves. We now have
over 1900 members in Montana, Wash
ington. Oregon and Idaho.
From an educational standpoint II

Commercial Club Receives Re-
ply From Adjutant
General.
Selection of Returning Organi-
cations in Hands of Border
Commander.

In response to resolutions recently
drawn up by the Grangeville CONNER
cial Club requesting the return of the
Idaho guardsmen to their homes, cop
les of which were sent to the War
Department, Gov Alexander, the Idaho
congressman and senator's and General
Fred Funston, the commander on the
Mexican border, the following letter
was received this week by Frank Van
Deventer, secretary of the club, from
Adiutant General VIM. Cruikshank,
and was read and discussed at the
Wednesday luncheon by the club men,
bers and a number of the mothers
who were invited guests of the club
for that day. A committee composed
of Mayor Fulton, County Attorney
Hattabaugh and G. A. Branscombe was
appointed to formulate a letter set
ting forth the views of the citizens OF
this community on the matter of the
detention of the Idaho boys ON the
border after the other guardsmen who
went there about the same time have
been relieved and sent home; the let
ter to be forwarded to the same par
ties to whom the resolutions were
sent, and also to other towns through
out the state. The adjutant general
says:
II am directed by the secretary OF
| war to acknowledge receipt OF your
letter of October 81, 1916, requesting
that the Second Idaho national guard
regiment be returned from the bOrd-
er. and in response thereto to inform
you that the department is sending to
the border militia troops which have
not done duty there, and is having re-
turned from the border troops that
have been there some time. A number
of organizations have been returned
and a number of others have been des-
ignated for return, but the Second
Idaho regiment, so far as the depart
ment is advised, has not been so des-
ignated. The selection of organiza-
tions to return is however, left to the
commanding general southern depart
ment who is on the ground and
knows best which troops should be re
turned The department would not
be in position to make such Judg-
ment For these reasons the depart
J ment is unable to state when the See
ond Idaho regiment will be returned
: to home station.
Il regret my inability to furnish
YOU any more definite information on
| the subject of your inquiry
+ Senator BOrah Visits War Department
Senator Borah had another confer
ence at the war department today on
e the petition of Idaho mothers that
/ their sons, now in the federal military
e service with the Idaho regiment on
e the border, be returned to the state. He
z came from 1t with the ominous decla
+ ration that he had been unsuccessful
: that he believed that the troops woule
: remain ON the border through the win
t ter and that, in all probability, they
f were in for more active service than
merely guarding the internationa
t line.

States Problems Before People
Demand the Ability of
All Parties.
TO PUT PAST BEHIND
Danish Disappointments and
Meet Situations Even Now
Upon Us.
BY Ashmun Brown.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Much cast
down by the result of the election, al
most i'll and tired out, Senator Borah
of Idaho struck the most nearly cheer
ful note of all republican leaders to-
day when he gave a statement for pub
lication in the newspapers on the fu-
ture duty of the republican party. In
asmuch as many republicans maintain
that Senator Borah would have been
a more successful leader than Justice
Hughes, and inasmuch as his posi-
tion in the senate Is to be of high i'm
portance during the next four years,
his statement is significant He said:
For National Service.
I'VE have been defeated. l am not
in favor of discussing how it hap
pened, or where the blame rests. l
| am in favor of looking forward to the
/ duties and obligations of the future,
for the duties and obligations and the
influences of the minority party are
only less and often very little less
than those of the majority.
There will be problems within the
next four years growing out of our In
dustrial situations which we can not
avoid, which will call for all the
| ability and patriotism of both the ma
jority and the minority parties. We
will not hold the offices, but we can
have a tremendous part in helping to
meet those problems, and 1t is clearly
our duty, as party, to put the past
behind u.s. Danish disappointments,
avoid internal differences and help to
meet the situations which are even
now upon us.

JURISDICTION
IN CONTESTS
WITH STATE
u. S. Court Has Decided Elec-
tors Are State
Officers.

Washington Government officials
here were deeply interested and
not little concerned over Thurs
days announcements from Democratic
and Republican campaign leaders that
contests might be expected, with
possibility of legal proceedings, over
the votes for presidential electors in
several of the close states.
Examinations of the decisions of the
supreme court and of the revised
statutes disclosed that electors are
plainly regarded as state officers. The
highest court has held in two leading
cases that questions of their proper
or improper choice are for state cleo
ton officers or state courts to deter
mine, and that the federal government
is not lawfully concerned, even If
fraud Is shown.
The revised statutes provide that
the electors shall meet in each state
and give their votes on the second
Monday in January following cleo
ton, at places to be designated by the
state legislatures. In the ordinary
course of proceedings where the right
of the electors to sit is uncontested
their votes would be counted in the
house of representatives here on the
second Wednesday in February AND
4 this would be the legal end to the
/ election.
State Laws Binding.
The statutes further provide tina
where a state shall have laws made
prior to the election determining
in thods by which contro, srs'es ol
contests over electors shall be set
tied. whether by judicial proceeding
or otherwise, these laws shall b'
binding and shall govern in countin'
the electoral vote" Officials her
were under the impression that
would be found that all the states tha
may he involved in contests have law
of this character.
Aside from the direction that tn
electoral votes of all the states b
counted in the house on the secon
: Wednesday in February, there seem
/ to be nothing to indicate just hoy
much latitude "a state might have /

vote counted at the fixed time. III
e statutes provide that the votes of tn

National Organization Inter
ested-Roads Suffer From
Wasteful Expenditures.

From Governor w. =. Hunt of Ari-
zona DR. Perkins, as president of the
North and South Idaho State Highway
at Lewiston, has received
the following letter:
Answering your letter of the 18th
instant requesting my views concern
ing the highway policy which the state
of Idaho has outlined, / desire to ad-
wise you that a very similar plan is
being pursued in this state.
"The state of Arizona has tenta-
tive highway system 1900 miles in
length, connecting with the county
seats of the several counties of the
state. Upon this system of highways
the territory and the state of Arizona
have expended over two million dol
lars In addition to the above sum
several of the counties have expended
considerable sums upon the same sys-
tenn of roads, in the aggregate several
hundred thousand dollars.
''The state highway commission has
submitted to the secretary OF agricul-
ture for his approval our state high
way system as a project upon which
to expend all the federal aid fund for
five years.
Trust that the foregoing, which
constitutes an endorsement of ldaho's
highway policy, will fulfill your
purposes"
From National Association.
From the president of the American
Highway association DIR. Perkins has
received the following:
I'VE have learned that you are III
terested in highway improvement. In

diture of money than from any Other

CAN M'CINNITY
FINANCE team
next SEASON?

With the Northwestern league
season Of 1916 only four months
away, Tacoma fans are wonder
ing whether Joe McGinnity will
be able to finance the Tacoma

The team bumped gratingly
over the financial rocks last year,
barely managing to keep afloat
until the end of the esason, and
then only because of benefit
games played in the Stadium.
McGinnity has kept decidedly
mum over his 1916 plans. He
has given no intimation as to
whether or not he will attempt TO
raise funds by substitution or
otherwise, to get. the team start
&c. Although he has said That
he would sell the Tigers If Of

has come around with the price.
