Give the North Congressman.

This is the first slogan that Senator
+. f. Elliott of Bonners Ferry offers
when he strikes a town in the interest
of his campaign for representative in
congress. He calls attention to the
fact that at present the ten northern
counties of the Panhandle are entire
ly without representation at Wash
ington, although they have fully one
third of the people and two-fifths of
the taxable wealth of the entire state.
That this situation is an accident and
not Intentional on the part of the
voters is readily conceded and in or
der to remedy the injustice and give
the north what it is entitled to, the
voters are urged to support candi-
date from that section for the nominal
ton. As an aspirant for the place
Senator Elliott urges his claims for
recognition and is able to make
strong appeal. He is the well-known
senator from Bonner county and is
serving his second term in the legis-
lature, He is actually a resident of
the new county of Boundary of which
Boomers Ferry is the county seat and

which owes it's existence to Senator
Elliott's persistent efforts. Gem
County owes the senator much con-
sideration for his support in the fight
made last year for its creation. He
was a member Of the senate commit
tee on counties which recommended
favorable report on Gem county and
supported it in the senate. He has
always been recognized as a strong
supporter of the small county idea
and his aid was eagerly sought by ad-
vocates of various county division
schemes. Senator Elliott is peculiarly
fitted to serve Idaho in Washington
Besides his legislative record he has
also served as a member of the If
rigation and Drainage Commission
which investigated the Carey Act pro-
jects last year. For several years he
was dean of the Agricultural college
in the University of Moscow and the
greater part of his life has been spent
as an experiment station worker and
agricultural teacher. He is consider
ed an authority on drainage problems
and is the author of the drainage code
of Idaho. He has lectured in practi-
cally every county in the state and
is widely known as writer and
speaker.

STAGED A PRIZE FIGHT.
State Pays officials Expenses While
He Manages Prize Fight

How the state of Idaho paid part
of the overhead" expenses of stag
ing a prize fight in a certain Idaho
town few weeks ago, how deputy
employed by a certain Democratic
state official promoted and managed
the ring event, clearing about 1882
"velvet" for himself, while the state
paid his travelling expenses and hotel
bills and presumably his salary also,
is offered by Capt. f. G. Davis Of
Boise as another example of the So
called Democratic Economy" with
which this state is afflicted
The incident was related by Capt.
Davis in the course of a speech de-
livered by him at Boise, Saturday,
in the interest of his candidacy for
the Republican nomination for COVER
nor. Capt. Davis said rain halted
him in town situated in the middle
western part of the state while cam
paigning. He remained there for
some days. The deputy, the captain
said, was in town when he arrived,
having been granted concession to
put on DOui between the DOXeTS.
The ring battle was fought in due
time, the state deputy cleaning up
1882. Both the captain and the de-
putty stopped at the same hotel. The
deputy appeared at the hotel Office
and after paying his bill took a re-
ceipt on the form provided by the
state for the money given the hotel
man. He had been at the hotel for
FIVE days. Going across the street
the deputy paid his bill at the res
and again got receipt on
4 state form.
Captain Davis declared the deputy
had not done one tap of work for the
state while promoting the fight, but
vas making the state pay his ex
,enses. This he termed theft, add
ng the man who did it was just as
yuilty as if he had taken money re-
presented by his expense from the
state treasury. The speaker cited
mother instance where Democratic
tate officials had travelled at the ex-
'ense of the people when five office
folders gathered at the state conven-
ion in Pocatello some months ago,
IL pleading business there, but in
tead they did nothing but mix poll
les.

Hogs
The hog market got started early

No change in the sheep situation.
Offerings were only moderate. Prices
