of Bingham, speaker of the house
Mr.. Alfred went down to Boise
alone, unaided and unsung, with but
half dozen members pledged to
vote for him, and with Boise's big
dailies and the chairman of the state
Democratic organization working for
other fellows. With six followers on
the ground working for him, and
they presenting their man to be
judged and measured on his person
ality, he gradually gathered support
till both of the other candidates COM
bined against him, and he won by %

YOUNG MAN VICTIM
OF DIPHTHERIA

Owen Grant Fraker, aged "a years,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Grant Fraker,
died Saturday night of a virulent
form of diphtheria, after a short
illness. His sister, Vashti, who died
early in the week, supposedly of
acute tonsilitis, was buried with pub
lie funeral Thursday. When DR..
Davis was called to see young Fraker
Saturday morning he pronounced the
case diphtheria and administered an
antitoxin, but the disease was too
far advanced, and death occurred in
to evening of that day. Burial was
made Sunday morning privately and
directly from the house, within
within twenty-four hours after death.
One of the small sisters of Owen
came down with diphtheria, but this
week is much improved. There sur
vive of the family, the mother and
father and four brothers and sisters.
The young man leaves widow and
no children.

MAYORS PROCLAMATION
STOPS PUBLIC GATHERINGS

On account of the appearance of a
fatal form of diphtheria in Blackfoot,
and the prevalence of measles, the
school board decided to close the
public schools for another week at
their meeting Monday morning. At
the same time Mayor Peck issued a
proclamation to the citizens warning
thGSn to avoid picture shows dances,
and any public congregation, to pre-
vent the spread of the contagion.
AS the quiet week draws to close
it appears that no further danger
threatens. No case of diphtheria has
been reported, and other contagious
seem to be in check, but there will
be no church services Sunday in any
of the churches.

MECHANICAL POTATO LOADER

The Blackfoot Fruit and Potato
Growers Association have installed
a mechanical loader for taking sack
ed potatoes out of the cellar and
placing them on the cars. 1t operates
by electricity and a belt with cross
bars on, carries the sacks up the
slope dumping them into a chute that
allows them to slide into the cars.
A man in the cellar sets each sack
on the belt and another man in the
car takes them from the foot Of the
chute.

BOOZE UNDER BEET DUMP

Officers Bill Drew, Charlie Thomp-
son and Adams went up to Wapello
January 3rd and uncached a suitcase
or two of booze from under the beet
dump and brought it home to the
sheriff's office. DR.. Mitchell was
coming down in his car the night be-
fore and took on passenger who
hailed him for ride. AS they were
entering Blackfoot the man jumped
out near the stock yards and ran off,
which puzzled DR.. Mitchell and caus-
ed him to report the matter. That
put the officers on the trail to Wa
pello. So far the offender has not
been apprehended

Hot Weather Hits
the Camp Of Groom

GROOM, July Hot weather has
struck the camp, and while we look
south across a dry lake, hot enough
in itself, yet we are comparatively
cool here. The elevation of the
camp is $500 feet and the climate
generally is about like that of Pi-
oche.
On the Black Metal claim, Lane
and sherwood have their prospect
shaft down some 40 feet, with Is
feet of prosecuting east and west
from the bottom, all in blasting
matter. Throughout this whole
work steel galena ore, some running
as high as so per cent lead has been
found. and some high grade silver
samples In the bottom of the shaft.
The ore cannot yet be said to be in
place, but, distributed as it is all
though such large mass, which
considered in connection with the
big bodies of similar ore found in
the Groom mine in the same ledge
to the north. the expectation is that
good sized bodies of shipping ore
will be found with the prosecution
OF further work. The bulk of the
material already taken out may be
said to be milling ore.

Cormac has operated the Groom
mine for the past two years will
now be operated by the owners, G.

FOURTH ENJOYABLY
SPtNT IT Pl,n!iE

Ii anyone missed having a good
time here or the Fourth x was their
own fault. While that part of the
program e ing to Oh door sports
fell down, the band boys managed to
keep up interest until evening when
dancing at Thompson's hall was en-
1oyed until the wee hours.
The great success of the day was
centered in the big feed of barbecued
meat made into sandwiches on the
court house lawn. The rca ,.'ng Of
two beeves supplied by Claud Cole
from the Lake Valley range, was
superintended by Joe Powers and he
did it to perfection. The various CON-
mittees worked hard and the event
was pulled off without a hitch any,
where.
A goodly number of visitors came
from Caliente, while Atlanta Bristol.
Eagle Valley and sourrounding ter
ritory was represented.
Druggist H. c. Henderson donated
the profit from the sale of lot of
nags to the Red Cross, from which
close to $50 was realized. The pro-
ceeds OF the lunch served at the
dance also went to the Red Cross
as did the returns from the sale of
roses donated by D. Duckworth.

out some other republican to make
the race in teresting for Turretin.
w. A. Keddie, state senator from
Churchill county also is being boost
ed by his friends to step out for gov
eronr. After the close of the last
session of the legislature Keddie au-
serted that he was through with
the political game. But then Ked-
dies record is one replete with con-
tests OF one kind or another and it
would not be surprising to see him
in the field.
Then there is former Gov. Oddie
who is not retired from Nevada poll
tics, William McGill of White Pine.
William Kearney, former state engi-
neer;, and Frank Norcross, former
chief justice, all of whom have many
friends who would Ike to see them
take whirl at Gov. Boyle's job.
White Pine county will have a can
didate for secretary of state in the
person OF Charles d. Gallagher, twice
elected to the assembly from that
county. Gallagher is popular in
Pine county. He would make
a strong run against Clyde Johnson
who will be the democratic candidate
in case George Brodigan, as now
seems probable, steps out after the
subernatorial nomination.
The state mining inspector is not
causing the republicans any worry.
They all regard Andy Stinson as a
'cinch be" to beat any timber the
democrats trot out.-Gazette.

Grating
The campaign is to be statewide.
Every community in the state will
be given the benefit of the COLOMBIA
tion and no section will be given
preference over another when it
comes to placing settlers on avail
able lands. Nothing but farm lands
will be exploited and no lands will
be included in the lists to be colo
nized but those that can be and
should be cultivated.
Though not completed, the plans
call for the expenditure Of between
$4,000 and $4,000. Other COM
mercial organizations throughout the
state will probably be called upon to
help in the way of finances, but the
greater part of the expenses will be
borne by the Reno club.
Secretary Raymer has visited sew

past two months and has secured a
list of available lands and other data
about each section. He will leave In
