Woody for Sheriff

We notice that John l.. Woody
Commissioner of the third district
and chairman of the board is being
talked of as a possible candidate
for the office of Sheriff on the Re-
publican ticket. Mr.. Woody is
serving the people of the county
as commissioner and has made
good in the Office and has taken care
of his district in very creditable
manner regardless of the conditions
Of affairs that he has had placed be-
fore him. He has worked hard to
meet the demands of the people in
the county as whole and is always
willing to meet any proposition on
an equal basis. 1t would be to our
minds better for the people to place
him again in the position he now
holds. He is thoroughly acquainted
with the workings of the county
and knows the needs of the differ
ent localities better than any new
officer would and it would take time
and expense to the county to get
another man into the harness as he
now is.

Overseers Notice

The County Commissioners re-
quest us to notify the Road Over
seers of the different road districts
that they should at this time when
the snow is melting and the water
is moving from the hill and running
into the roads and lower places, they
should be out taking care of the
roads and making the water take a
course hat would allow it to leave
the track and not allow it to be cut
up. A few hours work now will
save dollars in the near future. The
road between Juliaetta and Kendrick
is one road that is being cut up by
the flow of water to the extent that
it will cost considerable to replace
it. To our view of the matter new
is the time for road work to be in
progress. Drain it now and you
will do one Of the best things that
can be done at this time.

In Europe 78 per cent of the popu-
lation at war, in all the world Sc
per cent Of the population involved
in the conflict; 100000 men
actually under arms; 100000 kill
ed, nearly 1000, 900 wounded, more
than 100000 prisoners. These
are the starting figures which late
statistics give to the world. They
perhaps appear more terrible to the
people Of the nations which are at
peace than to the beligerents, where
the thirst for blood and for revenge
seems to have completely dulled the
senses against the horrors Of the
war.

north Idaho Republican gathered
at Moscow Saturday at Lincoln
Day banquet and Republican love-
feast. Party harmony and the re-
uniting of the fragments into which
the party was divided in 1912 were
topics of interest, and many ex-
cellent speeches were heard.

In dealing with his subject, "The
Republican Party" F. S. Randall
!; of Lewiston sketched the history of
the party briefly, and pointed out
not only the specie issues that lead
to the establishment Of the party
but the principles for which the
| party was to stand. Efficiency and
, the practice of doing the thing at
! hand, he said, characterized Lincoln
and the party. Success of the party
depends upon looking forward, not
, backward, the speaker said, and he
gave as the reason for the detection
of 1912 the failure of the conserva
tives to advance as conditions de.
manded and the inclination of the
progressives to run ahead of the
spirit of the times. That fact hal
been realized. and a reunited anC

H. S. Boys Essay
on Light Plant
Plant Will Start Soon

The electric light system of Ken
drick is now on the road to compile
tion. The field was entered by the
Potlatch Electric Co., Aug. 25, 1915.
They secured franchise from the
Village Council Oct. 20, 1915. Their
next consideration was to find a
sufficient amount of water power,
and with that idea in view, the
Potlatch creek between Kendrick
and the mouth of Cedar creek was
surveyed. and the available water
was measured. BY placing a dam
three miles and half above Ken
drick, it was found that there would
be sufficient power for all the needs
of Kendrick. The weather condi-
tions were the next question to be
considered and upon investigation
the management was warmed by
''Oldtimers" against a water power
plant. They said that spring food
would probly cause damage and
break downs for the plant. It was
finally decided to build a plant in
the town of Kendrick, and to use
crude-oil engines as the prime
movers. The engines and general
ing equipment were ordered on
October goth. The engines have
100 horse power of electrical energy.
The tank, which holds 1000 gallons
of oil, is buried in the ground.
The company decided to extend
its lines to any point where sufficient
current could be sold to warrant
expenditure of money invested. So
they have extended their line to
Troy.
On account of war condition in
the east and the scarcity of all steel
products the machinery has been
delayed up to the present time, but
the plant will be in operation by the
first of March. The street lights
will be 100 candle power each and
be hung in the middle of the street
at each intersection.
The rates as issued by the author
