IDAHO COUNTY PIONEER SEEKS
POLITICAL HONoRs FIRST
TIME IN HIS LIFE
ANNOUNCEMENT IS SURPRISE
Well-Known Citizen, Whose Qualifica-
lions Cannot be Disputed Asks
For Nomination

Hon. A. F. Parker of Grangeville will
be a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the office of clerk of
the district court and ex-officio auditor
and recorder. Mr.. Parker announced
his candidacy on Tuesday.
Announcement of Mr.. Parker's can
didacy came as complete surprise to
his friends throughout the county, be-
cause in his thirty-eight years resi-
dence in Idaho county he never before
has been a candidate for any public
office.
Mr.. Parker holds honorable discharges
for service in three Indian campaigns,
of 1877, 1878 and 1879. He founded
the Idaho County Free Press in 1886
and was member of the state cOnsti-
tutional convention in 1889, where he
demonstrated his ability on the funda-
mental principles of civil, political and
religious liberty. He has at all times
taken an active part in the development
of the great natural resources of Central
Idaho.
1t is said of Mr.. Parker that his
ability to discharge the duties of the
office he seeks cannot be discounted
nor his integrity impeached.

At Camp Lewrs
DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE HE Is
NOT ACCEPTED FOR UNCLE
SANS ARMY

Rejected for military service at Camp
Lewis, because of a defective ankle,
Glenn Hibbs, well-known young cat
tleman of the Salmon river country, was
in Grangeville Saturday on his way
to his home at higgins.
Hibbs, who left Grangeville with the
June contingent of draft men, was keen
ly disappointed because he could not
get into the service. He had several
times tried to enlist, but was rejected,
and when he was called in the draft,
and was passed by local physicians, he
felt that at last his long-sought oppor-
tunity to help whip the kaiser had ar
rived. He was overjoyed as he left
Grangeville for Camp Lewis. But his
period as a soldier of the United States
was exceedingly brief. He arrived at
Camp Lewis on Saturday, June 20, was
vaccinated, and issued a uniform. On
Tuesday, July 2, he was advised that he
did not qualify for military service, and
was discharged
Among his experiences during his
short stay at camp, says Hibbs, is one
that he will never forget. Among the
new arrivals was lad from Occur d.
Alene, who was one of the so-called
conscientious DIRECTORS to war. The
young man was member of The Friends
church, and when issued his soldier uni
form, refused to put it on. Hibbs was
present at the time, and was among a
squad of men ordered by sergeant to
remove the boys civilian clothing and
dress him in soldiers uniform. owe

dress himself. -
Fortunately for Hibbs, he did not dis

he departed for camp, but left them in

ther dentist.
DIR. Powell, who, following her gra-
duatioa from dental college in 1915, had
been associated with dentist at Pendle-
ton, until short time ago, when she
located in Kendrick, decided to locate
in Grangeville, not only because of the
opportunities offered here for the prac-
tice of her profession, but because of
the high altitude, her health having de.
manded removal from region of low
altitude.
DR.. Wood has, with the exception Of
the time he spent in a dental school,
been lifelong resident of Grangeville.
He and Mrs. Wood have been prominent
in social life of the city, and their
friends are expressing genuine regret
