ing of all materials and the con-
struction of the water system
went to w. L. Geist of st. Maries,

Gov. Alexander
Is Reelected
OFFICIAL RETURNS NOW AT BOISE
Give Him Plurality of Six Hundred and Five
Democrats Claim Thirty-One More

NJ. Alexander was reelected
governor of the state of Idaho
for the two years beginning Jan.
1, 1917, by a plurality of COS.
This is the official count tabu-
lated for every county in the
state of Idaho, and will not be
subject to change, the figures
thus obtained being those certi-
fed to the secretary OF state as
secretary Of the state board of
canvassers by the various coun-
ty clerks acting as clerks of the
county boards of canVassers.
This plurality gives Davis
credit for 81 votes, which the
Democratic state central COM
mittee and advisors of Governor
Alexander do not cOncede that he
iS legally entitled to receive, their
claim being that the exact plur-
ality of Governor Alexander as
shown by the returns of the var
ious election boards of the state
dS d ltouli VI Jlt tltCblOn VI Nb-
Wember 7, is $50.
This difference arises because
Of the alleged recount that was
held in four precincts in Power
county, whereby the county COM
missioners of that county certi-
fed to the secretary of state IA
more votes than he was entitled
to receive on the face of the or
iginal returns. 1t also includes
II more votes for Davis, which
resulted from the recount held il
Boise precinct No. 9, whereof!
Davis was given gain of 4
votes over the face of the for
mer returns from that precinct
The last county to report tn
result of the official canvass o
the votes aside from the chang
resulting from the recount of tn
one precinct in Ada county, wa
Owyhee county, which gave Davi
an official plurality Of 1853.

in one place for 65 miles he
pulled through sand SO deep that
the rear axle ploughed a furrow
all of the way.
Three punctures and a total
teXpense of $40 for the trip, in

the whole face of the world has
been darkened by war. In the
midst of our peace and happiness
our thoughts dwell with painful
disquiet upon the struggles and
sufferings of the nations at war
and of the peoples upon whom
war has brought disaster, with
out choice or possibility of es-
cape on their part. We can not
think of our happiness without
thinking of their pitiful distress.
Now, therefore, l, Woodrow
Wilson, president of the United
States of America, do appoint
Thursday, the 3Oth day of No
vember, as a day of national
thanksgiving and prayer, and
urge and advise the people to re-
sort to their respective places Of
worship on that day to render
thanks to Almighty God for the
blessings of peace and unbroken
prosprity which he has bestowed
upon our belovd country in such
unstinted measure.
And | also urge and suggest
cur duty, in this, our day of peace
and abundance, to think in deep
sympathy of the stricken peoples
Of the world upon whom the curse
and terror of war has so pitiless-
ly fallen and to contribute out Of
our abundant means to the re-
lief of their sufferings.
"Our people could in no better
way show their real attitude to-
ward the present struggle of the
nations than by contributing out
of their abundance to the relief
of the suffering which war has
brought in its train.
, "In witness whereof have
, hereunto set my hand and caused
) the seal of the United States to
J be affixed.
Done at the city of Washing

MR.. AND MRS. WILLIAMS
HAVE PLEASANT TRIP

The following article, taken
from an Oakland paper, will be
of interest to the many friends
Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Williams.
Like the wild fowl that mi
crate to more favorable climes to
escape the rigors of the winter
season, the motorists from all
over the United States now look
toward California as a haven of
refuge for the stormy seasons,
on account of our excellent high
highway system and equable eli
mate.
This is proven every day by the
arrival along Oakland's automo-
bile row of different automobile
parties arriving here for the win
ter from the East, North and
Middle West.
Among the latest arrivals in
Oakland during the past week
was the Dodge car party of Mr.
and Mrs. J. E. Williams of st
Maries, Idaho. The Williams
with three friends, completed &
trip of over 1000 miles, accord
ing to their speeGometer, wheI
they reached the Oakland housl
of the H. o. Harrison Company
They were on the road twelv
days, including all stops, tn
longest stop being at Shasta
where one and one-half day
were consumed in sightseeing.

OLSON a sever lecture set aside
his order dismissing the applica-
ton and ordered the hearing con-
tinued until the spring term of
court. 1t was explained that the
applicants failure to get his nat
uralization papers at this time
would not interfere with him
proving up on his homestead as
the register would accept his
proof now and suspend action
until such time as the papers
were secured.
The case Of the State against
Mileto Milacich, charged with
murder in the first degree, was
called and the defendant was
brought into court and plead not
guilty. He was represented by
Corkey & Corkey of Spokane and
Norris & Yates of this city. Pros
ecuting Attorney Elder is prose-
cutting the case without assist
ance. The remainder of the
day was spent in trying to secure
a jury. The regular panel was
exhausted before a jury was Sc
cured and it was necessary to is
su a special venire.
Several bootlegging cases re-
main to be tried after the muir
der trial is finished. OF those
on the calendar at the beginning
OF the term, Cross and MartiT
plead guilty and received thei
sentences; Deskin was fOunl
ouilty by a jury and is yet to re.
ceive his sentence; the cas-
against Otto Gano was dismisse'
for lack of evidence and he wa
discharged; Christine Gregory
Geo. Collins and Barney Tooke
are yet to be tried and their case
will be taken up at the conclusion
of the present case.
Judge Dunn's time here is linn
tied and it is possible that h
- will not be able to try any of tn
} civil jury cases at this term.
