Jolted From Wagon-Chuckhole

Mrs. c. C. Howard, Baby Spokane
Howard and little Bernice Howard
had a narrow escape from serious
injuries Tuesday evening when, as
they were driving to town from their
down-river ranch which was pur-
chased last spring from E. E. Elliott,
the wagon went into a chuckhole
and Mrs. Howard and the children
were thrown out. The front wheel
of the wagon passed over Mrs. How
ards ankle and her right arm and
side was pinned under the back
wheel so that Mr.. Howard had to
back the wagon before she could be
released. A large overcoat wrapped
around the baby saved it from being
seriously bruised. The little girl
fell behind the horses but was not
hurt. Mrs. Howard has been quite
sick for a month and was just get
ting better.

Garry daho-Predict IS 900 Majority For Davs-EIec the
Entire Republican Ticket in Boundary County

The men of the United States who
have in past years been noted for
the correctness of their election pre-
dictions, are proclaiming a victory
for Hughes on November It'll. Among
these is Col. Harvey, who was an
ardent supporter of Wilson four
years ago. According to his figures
Hughes will lead by a handsome
majority of electoral votes.
Straw votes and the betting mar
ket are also indications of how the
elections go. The great majority
of the straw votes which have been
taken in the centers of population
have favored Hughes. The betting
has favored Hughes for several
weeks and yesterdays reports were
that the odds in eastern states is
now 10 to 7.
Idaho is normally a republican
state and in the republican organiza-
ton there is perfect harmony, a
years and which must spell a more
sweeping republican victory than
ever before.

date for governor, will carry Idaho

the republican party will win out

is composed of men of affairs, whose
reputation is above reproach, of mer
of integrity. 1t is deserving of the
support of the voters of all parties.

Home Talent Play Pleases

The home talent entertainment,
Gerry, the Tramp" drew a large
crowd at the Amazon theatre Mon
day night The entertainments was
given under the auspices of the
Bonrers Ferry band and was Ii
rected by Reuben Boileau. Over
$40 was cleared and will be turned
over to the band organization. The
play was so successful that the mem
bers of the cast have been pre-
vailed upon to repeat the perform
ance at Troy this evening and it is
possible that the play will be given
here again in a few weeks for the
benefit of those who were unable
to attend Monday evening.
The performance was a most cred
table one from every standpoint.
Each member of the cast imperson-
ated the characters in the play in a
manner which would have dor credit
to professionals. The leading parts
were taken by c. w. Frantz and
Miss Eva Boileau. Reuben Boileau
took the part of the william" Miss
Lila Wells was "The Colonel's Wife,

it was predicted that the repub-
licans would win out in the county
with the exception of perhaps three
or four offices. This sentiment has
changed. Now on every hand you
will hear the fellows who sit back
and watch developments say that
the entire republican ticket will win
out and by handsome majorities. En-
thusiasm and optimism in republican
ranks is apparent everywhere. There
is no half-hearted support. The re-
publicans are back of the ticket
with vim and energy. No halfway
measures go in the republican par
ty. The voters have been quick to
see this and the enthusiasm has been
contagious. This was made only too
evident just yesterday when the re-
cial train to take them to the Port
asked to contribute went down into
up SIS and $40. No urging was
the cause. And through just such
subscriptions has the campaign fund
of this county, state and nation for
the republican party been secured.
The republicans are under no obi
cations to the "big fellows" 1t was
the rank and file of the party which
put up the campaign funds.
The enthusiasm and harmony in
republican ranks is going to carry
the party into a great victory next
Tuesday. And while we are winning
let US do it up brown and roll the
majorities up into the hundreds and
thousands.

BARTLETT SINCLAIR - OREGON
Touring State in Interest of Former
Classmate, Charles E. Hughes.

Bartlett Sinclair, the we'll known
attorney of this city, is helping to
win Oregon for the republicans. He
will remain in Oregon until the
campaign is over. The following is
report taken from the Portland
Oregonian of one of Mr.. Sinclair's
latest meetings:
NORTH BEND, Ore, Oct 24.-The
largest republican rally thus far held
at North Bend was addressed last
night by Bartlett Sinclair, of Boise,
Idaho. The orator was introduced
by Chairman Alfred Harrison.
Mr.. Sinclair urged the voters to
take time to get a clear conception
of the main issues of the campaign,
declaring: at is not who has kept
us out of war; but what has kept
us-and particularly the Pacific
coast-in a quagmire of commercial
stagnation, and the Nation at large
in state of disrepute in the eyes of
every other Nation on the face of the
globe" u
Mr.. Sinclair discussed the Under
wood tariff and pointed out clearly
how that measure was framed in
total disregard of the vital interests
of the coast states, so that to keep
our markets for American producers
we must compete with the poorly paid
labor of China, Japan. and all the
European countries"
The speaker paid an eloquent COM
pliment to the character of Mr.
Hughes He said no country need
fear war with the United States
while Hughes was at the head of af-
fairs, provided that no country vio-
lated our rights and refused to make
adequate amends.
Throughout his speech Mr.. Sin
clair was frequently applauded, and
there was much enthusiasm. A
Hughes and Fairbanks club was
formed after the meeting had adj
| journed.
