MISSIONARY

Nels Christensen, a former resident
n n Of the early settlers of the
west side, was in Blackfoot, Satur
day, visiting old friends Mr.. Chris.
Jensen had a strange call to the
Lords work about 10 or IL years age
and has persistently gone about do.
ing good. He was himself very much
surprised at his own inclinations and
the manifestations of power dele
gated to him. He changed at once
from an Indifferent irreligious man
TO a most devout preacher of the Cos
pei. He has visited Blackfoot a num-
Der of times in his circuits, and held
services here. He states that he has
at times spoken in tongues that he
did not himself understand, but was
understood by foreigners in his con
gregations. He also relates instances
or being the instrument thru which
miraculous cures were made such as
The Savior did when He was on
earth.
Mr.. Christensen does not claim any
credit for what he does, but saws
he is glad to do the Lords will and
to go where directed by the power
that leads him. He does not work
for financial gain but trusts entirely
to the power that leads him to also
provide for his temporal needs. Mr..
Christensen's sisters were married to
Blackfoot men, Mary marrying w. F.
Porter, and they now live at Weiser,
Idaho, and have three children. Mar
tina was married to Charlie Barnhart
and they live at Hilliard, Washing
ton. They have six children living
and lost twins some years ago. Mr.. |
has been married twice,
his first wife being anything but re-
ligious, and the second had the same
call that he had to go out and do the
will by preaching and they
work together.

my Republican friends a renomina
ton.
On account of the meeting of the
state board of equalization | will
nave no time to make a personal
canvass OF the state. I am paid to
be on the job,
During my incumbency the work
OF the secretary of states office has
greatly increased. Figures from time
to time have been placed before the
public showing the large increased
volume of work in this office. This
additional burden has been carried
without added expense to the tax
payers and with the same number of
employees as when | entered upon nv
official duties and with a smaller ap-
preparation from the legislature than
Tor the two years previous to my in
cumbency.
The following is a brief synopsis
or my views upon state issues:
State Highways
A generous appropriation by the
next legislature for state highway
purposes. The federal appropriation
which becomes available to Idaho is
upon a fifty-fifty basis and to make
this federal money available the
state will have to put up dollar for
dollar.
The state highway commission, of
which | am a member, has commenc-
ed work upon the much-talked-of
north and south highway by the en-
ployment of convict labor at White
bird. On account of the lack of pop
ulation and of valuation in the
country thru which the north and
south highway is to be built, I be-
lieve that the heavy burden of the
should be borne by the
at large.

CAR TURNS TURTLE
FOUR OCCUPANTS HURT

Sheriff John T. Fisher, of Fremont
county, driving a Ford acr on the
county road near st. Anthony, Mon
day afternoon, last week, lost control
and sent the a into the ditch at a
sharp turn, where it turned turtle,
pinning himself, his son and daughter
and another little boy underneath.
By some miracle none of them was
fatally injured.
Mr.. Fisher is reported to be the
one most seriously hurt. He suffer-
ed several broken ribs and was badly
bruised about the body and head.
His son, Ralph, nine years old, got
a hard bruise on the head; Bessie,
IA, had her wrist broken, and the
little Medley boy was not badly in
jured.

MAY CIRCULATE PETITIONS.
Injunction Against Initiative Bills
Denied by Local Court.

Holding that the court had no
jurisdiction because "the question
here raised is a political one" Supe-
rior Judge D. F. Wright Saturday
dismissed the cases in which various
interests in the state sought to pre-
vent the circulation of initiative pc
titions on the first aid bill and fish
code recently filed with the secretary
of state.
The action was based on allega-
lions that the preambles to the bills
were nothing more nor less than ar
guments in favor of the bills and had
been inserted as a subterfuge to
avoid the payment of 5000 page re-
quired for arguments in the official
initiative pamphlet, and also that the
titles were faulty. The decision
means that the Joint Legislative
Committee, which is backing the
measures. may now circulate the pc
titions for signatures.

UPHOLDs TAX COMMISSION.
Supreme Court Says $500 Exemption
Must Come From Actual Value.

Instructions of the state tax COM
mission that the 5000 exemption
allowed "heads of families must be
taken from the actual and not the
assessed valuation Of the property,
was upheld in a unanimous decision
given by the state supreme court
Tuesday. The commissions ruling
had been contested by Assessor ]. J.
Cameron of Pierce county, who ar
gued that the exemption should be
taken from the assessed valuation,
and the dispute was taken into court.
The decision means, for example.
that family with $500 worth Of
property would be allowed reduc-
ton to 5000 and then, being assessed
on a so per cent basis. would have to
pay tax on 500. Under Cameron's
contention, II the $500 worth Of
property were first assessed at so per
cent or $3.50. and the $500 exemption
then allowed, no tax would nave to
be paid. !:

ROBERT BRIDGES ENTERS
RACE FOR ]. S. SENATOR
Seattle Democrat to Contest With
George Turner for Nomination.

Robert Bridges, president of the
Seattle port commission and one of
the leading Democrats of the West
Side, formally announced his candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination
for United States senator last Satur-
day.
In an address to the King county
Democratic club accompanying the
announcement Mr.. Bridges spoke of
the need of a merchant marine and
advocated the operation of vessels by
the government. He said that he was
in full accord with all the policies of
President Wilson except the recently
announced program for military pre-
preparedness. He said preparedness
was q forerunner of militarism and
that it was fraught with grave dan
ger to American liberty.
Mr.. Bridges will wait until after
the state conventions to begin his
campaign outside of King county. He
purposes touring the state in an auto
mobile.
George Turner, of Spokane, already
has announced his candidacy for
United States senator, and it had
been generally thought he would be
the only candidate.

Centralia-C hehalis Firm Takes Over
Hill's-Making improvements.

Workmen have been busy all week
remodeling the front of the store
room in the Odd Fellows building
occupied by the B. l.. Hill Drug Co.,
which was recently taken over by
Prigmore & Sears, proprietors of
stores in Centralia and Chehalis, and
when the work is finished the store
will have a front of modern design,
affording large show windows and a
commodious entrance.
The interior of the store is also
being remodeled, the old partitions
being torn out and the room rear
ranged with an Office on one side, the
prescription counter in the center and
a private room for women customers

papered and painted and given a
bright, new appearance, and several
hundred dollars worth of new equip
ment will be installed in the soda
fountain.
George D. Prigmore, senior mem
Der of the firm, will have charge of
the local store, which is to be con-
tinued under the old firm name, and
will move his family to Olympia. All
Of the buying for the three stores

the distributing point for the other
stores.

A couple of more gubernatorial
candidates jumped into the field dur
ing the past few days, on the Repub-
lican side of the fence, one Bob
Hodge, who, memory recalls, created
quite disturbance four years ago
and had 'em all a-guessing, and one
Henry Mcbride, who became COVER
nor of this commonwealth when John
R. Rogers died. There was funny
thing about Hodges announcement,
perhaps it would be more correct to
say an odd, peculiar or strange
unique-thing about it: he forgot to
mention, or at least he didn't men
ton, what ticket he was gracing, but
inasmuch as thar amt no sech a
thing" as Bull Moose ticket this
year, the assumption is that Bob, too,
will be back in the fold with all the
rest of 'em; fact is, is back now.
Let's see, that makes seven candi-
dates now in the Republican prima-
ries and five long months still to go

Judge Bausmans announcement
that he would not enter the campaign
occasioned no surprise, because such
a course had been rumored from only
a short time after his appointment
last fall, to succeed the late Judge H.
D. Crow. The formal announcement
Of course settled all the rumors and
paved the way for candidates, and
after looking the field of possibilities
over, The Washington Voter, a new
Democratic state weekly Just estab-
lished in Seattle, had this to say:
'This brings to the forefront Attor-
ney P. M. Troy of Olympia, who was
the choice of a great many attorneys
and laymen at the time that Justice
Bausman was appointed.
"Troy is one of the ablest lawyers
the state possesses" this paper added,
land in addition has a very large per-
sonal following, which would make
his candidacy a formidable one,
should he try to gain the most sought
after goal of every attorney"
Mr.. Troy has announced he would
not be candidate. SO far there is
only one, Judge Stanley Webster Of
the Spokane county superior court.

high school course for Bible study
work in the various Sunday schools.
met q stumbling block this week
when the attorney generals depart
ment gave a ruling to Prosecuting
Attorney w. p. Brown Of Whatcom
county that such credit cannot be
given. This follows a ruling given
by the states first attorney general,
to the effect that the Bible could not
be considered in connection with the
high school curriculum.

Those who remember how Roose-
welt forced the nomination of Taft in
1908 through his grip on national
offices are going to bet reated to a
new thing in the Democratic national
convention next June--there won't
be even as many as half dozen del
egates in that convention who are
federal officeholders. President Will
son has so decreed--and he has de-
parted from the established prece-
dent of president seeking re-
nomination, in thus decreeing.
So are presidents established.
One of the considerations that &C
tuated the president in declaring he
would not seek a denomination was
his determination to keep members
OF his cabinet and men he had ap-
pointed to Office from active partici-
patton in the nominating convention.
In the days gone by spectators at ma
tional conventions have become &C
customed to looking down upon row
after row of heavy jowled, sleek and
prosperous federal officeholders, but
there "ain't goin' to be no sech a
thing" this year-Wilson says no.
In furtherance of the presidents
wish, members of the Democratic ma
tional committee have conferred with
the leaders in the various states with
the result that only men who do not
hold Office under the administration
will be sent to St. Louis. A number
Of senators and congressman will, of
course, figure prominently in the pro-
ceedings at st. Louis, but they are not
to be regarded as members of the ad-
ministration, as all of them are elect
ed directly by the people.

That is about all that can be said
now about the national political stu
alton so far as Democrats are con-
cerned.
CHANGING over the state field,
the vicious "blind" attacks that have
appeared in the last few days as
coming from the inner ring of Re-
publican circles give visions of what
n in store. First, Of course, was the
wholly bascless report Of conniving
between Governor Lister and Judge
Bausman, which had hardly stuck its
last week and had hardly stuck it's
head above the covers before it was
promptly and vigorously denied as
made out Of whole cloth.
Nobody in Olympia had ever heard
that rumor before 1t was published
editorially in the Perkins Press and
the Seattle Pr. as having come from
Olympia, as dirty a subterfuge as
anyone could offer. One explanation
suggested for it is that this self-same
inner ring-the Perkins-Bone-Cowles
frameup, triple entente or whatever
you may want to call it-chose that
method to pave the way for the entry
of some great and glorious, untram-
melled and free, illustrious and sur
prising candidate of their own choos-
ing, for the job Bausman does not
want after the first of the year.
This appears to be substantiated
further by the story sent out last
week by a Seattle press bureau to the
weekly papers all over the state, con-
tanning a general attack upon every
member of the court. Three of the
Judges go before the people for re-
election this fall, Chief Justice Nor
ris and Judges Fullerton and Parker,
in addition to the candidate to sue
coed Judge Bausman, and this latest
screed hits all of them when 1t says
there is a growing feeling among the
people of the state that the present
Justices should be superseded by men
of higher ideals and greater learn
ing" and adds that "the people gen.

A survey of the Democratic condi-
lions throughout the country reveals
no cloud on the party hrizon. The
improvement in congress not only has
removed any serious obstacles in the
way Of party harmony but has proved
that whatever plans William Jen-
nings Bryan may have in view to
bring about the reputation of the
president will fail.
The plans of some of the presi-
dents critics to pit Speaker Clark
against him at st. Louis have been
abandoned. Bryan has lost great
deal of the prestige he had with DEM
ocratic senators and congressman as
we'll as party leaders by the victory
of the administration in the fight
over the international situation.
He is already the target for the
attacks of party leaders who are in
sympathy with the administration,
although it can be said with every
assurance of accuracy that the pres
ident has made every effort to dis
courage the opposition to his former
secretary of state.
There is reason to believe, in fact,
that the president desires that Bryan
shall be permitted the utmost free
dom in expressing his personal views
to the convention. In this he is sup
ported by a majority of the party
leaders, who have been advised from
the Southern states, which formerly
constituted the Bryan stronghold"
that a very small percentage OF the
delegates will respond to the old
Bryan war cry or be Influenced by it.

WORK ON CLUBS
SCHOOL BUILDING
PROGRESSES RAPIDLY

Work on the A. v. Clubs school is
progressing rapidly, and will be fin
ished in time for the opening of the
session in few weeks. The Blount
Construction Company was awarded
the contract for remodeling the build
ing, which amounted to about $4,000.
The work was made necessary by the
decision of the school board to use
the building which had formerly been
used as the high school, for a gram
mar school, and to move the high
school to No. 1, the building formerly
occupied by the grammar school.
Much work is also necessary to
place No. 1 in condition to be used
as a high school, and an entire new
roof is being placed on the structure.
The contract for the work was award
ed the w. r. Taylor Construction
Company, which agreed to do the
work for $3.50. Other repair work
is being done on the building, partic-
ularly the floors on the second story,
which have 'sagged several inches.

POLICEMAN BITTEN
BY FEMALE PRISONER

Patrolman Charles Clark had a
time of it when he arrested Hattie
Howard, colored, early Tuesday
morning, on complaint of another par
ty and partly on personal knowledge
of the woman's disregard for the
city statutes. In addition to having
his uniform clothing considerably
disarranged by the resisting and un-
willing prisoner, the policeman suf-
fered a severe bite on the hand and it
was necessary to use much force to
make the woman loose her teeth.
The woman, charged with resisting
arrest, being drunk, cursing and US
ing obscene language, appeared peni-
tently before Recorder Welsh at yes
terday mornings court and was fined
$50.
