FMCPAL CHRISTMAS EXERCISES
| TO Be HELD AGAIN THIS YEAR
MOODY FOR SPEAKER.
Seems to be Only Candidate Actively
Engaged to Land Position.

Boise, Dec. &c. s. Moody, adjutant
general of the state of Idaho, is an an
nounced candidate for senator of the
next house of representatives of this
state. Up to the present time he'is the
only candidate in the open, and Judging
from the attitude of legislative and
party leaders he will probably not be
given opposition. This is largely due
to the fact that he is man of excep-
tional quaurications for the position.
1t is said by those who have studied
the personnel of the legislature elect
and who are familiar with past legisla
lures, that the new house of representa-
tives is fortunate in having man of
the caliber of Mr. Moody in that assem-
bly,. He is not only parliamentarian
but his military training is a guarantee
that he will have the executive ability
to expedite legislative business. This
means that the Legislature will get down
to business early and when the work is
completed there will be no delay in
adjourning.
Bonner, which had been rated as the
banner republican county of the state
went democratic on Nov. and Repre-
sentative-elect Moody defeated A. H.
Connor, speaker of the last house, by a
substantial majority. But the coming
session will not be the first Mr.. Moody
has been in. He was member of the
house in the fifth session and of the
senate in the sixth. From legislative
standpoint he has had tie necessary ex.
perience to become presiding o1Iicer of
the house. He is also president of the
Idaho State Medical Society.

RETURNS FROM DIXIE
DIR. McLinn Reports Activities in that
District and Plans for Operations.

DIR. F. j. McLinn, of Kamiah, return
ed from his mining property located
near Dixie, last Saturday, where he has
been for the past ten days doing assess
ment work with his partner, Roary
Burke.
This mine received special mention
from Prof Livingston, of the Univer-
sity of Idaho, who spent year in this
district.
They have sunk shaft in this mine
sixty four feet deep and have one hun
dred and sixty feet of tunnel. There is
six-foot ore strata which averages
$l9.64 to the ton according to Prof.
, Livingston s report.
| The doctor says that the present show
ing work will be resumed in this mine
for further development work in the
spring and will make improvements
about the property for accommodation OF
men.
He reports the Black Pine working
about 30 men, the Comstack 25 or 80
men, and both mines are making good
showing and will increase their force as
the requirements demand.
G. l.. L. Basket, of the Colonel Sell
lers mine, has installed two new concen-
trating tables and will make many other
improvements which will materially ex-
pedite matters in handling ore and con-
centrates.
Men are scarce in the Dixie section
and the prevailing wages are paid. Car
penters seem to be in demand through
out the country. Hay and oats are
bringing $75 per ton. and is a scarce
quantity at this price.
The doctor says the frontier days are
very much in evidence. The roadhouses
being filled to capacity and enjoying
the influx of miners that are invading
the mining district.
The general topic among the miners
whom he visited drifted to highway and
transportation facilities. All seem To
stand pat for the water grade rout from
Sites to Elk City which would re
, duce parcel post and freight into the
interior at least $25 or $50 per ton

Shorthorn bull for $500; William Beut-

Hereford bull at $175; George Chase,
Hereford bull at $3l0; George Behean
of White Bird secured three extra fine
Hereford bulls as did the Gill Bros. of
the river section.
Criticism on Treatment Of Queen.
The Idaho county people went early
and stayed late, most of them remaining
until the close of the show. They are
unanimous in stating the class of stock
there was all that could be expected but
are offering considerable criticism re-
garding the treatment of Miss F'rizzell
who was elected queen of the show, a
criticism that seems to be voiced every,
where. Without doubt the people OF
Lewiston were not in sympathy with the
apparent lack of attention, if we are tc
put it mildly, accorded the young lady
and her friends and it is oA4lcult to be
lieve the management of the show would
be party to any sights. However, the
fact remains that Idaho county peopl,
are not overly pleased with the manner
in which the young lady was treated
during the time she was guest of thu
association, not being ungrateful of thu
efforts of some of the citizens of Lew
iston to do their part nor forgetting
some of the unpleasant happenings.

Through deal consumated last week,
Charles Durham, well known stockman,
of White Bird, secured of Gus Wright
his entire holdings on the river, some
thing better than 1000 acres of decided
land besides leases, etc. This will give
Dunham better than $500 acres of deed

of extra fine Rambouillet sheep of a

TO HAVE NEW HOME.

The Book block, now under construc-
ton, was leased this week to the Eimers
Hardware Co. who will occupy the same
with its hardware stock and garage.
The location is an ideal one and will
make a mighty fine store for the Eimers
people to display their immense stock
and well relieve the anxiety from a
loss by fire which must be more or less
disturbing to the mind in the present
location.
