Perhaps more important than this

MIR. Thornton stated that this was

the result will be so good that ii will

The WaShington truck made one trip
about TWO weeks ago; but, due to the
misunderstanding that a certain num-
Der of post offices along the route was
essential, rather than a number of peo-

plain. Mr. Thornton has since con-
suited the officials In Washington. and
now the trial is being made.

NEW RANCHMAN HERE
Improvement OF 100 Acre
Land Tract.

George C. Smith, of Nelson, Neb..
I is here looking after ranch property
which he bought recently. Mr.. Smith
purchased 160 acres of land south
west of Ordway, and will improve the
place. The land carries full water
rights and he has a part of it broken
ready for crops and more of 1t will
be turned.
Among the improvements are to be
new house and barn and this work
is under way. and except for the fact
that construction work must be ap-
proved by the Non-War Construction
Board in Washington, he would have
the actual building operations under
way now. He has made application
for permit to build. and this will
doubtless be approved.
Mr.. Smith is farming in Nebraska,
and as soon as he can dispose of his
interest there he will move to Crow
ley county, but it is likely that he
will not be able to move here for a
year.
Mr.. Smith has large dairy herd
of cattle on his place in Nebraska.
and he plans to bring some of this
stock to his ranch here. He likes the
climate of Colorado and the general
makeup of things, and is really an
Xious to get located.

Encouragement Here.

Guy U. Hardy, of Canon City, can
didate for congress in this congress
sional district, visited the towns in
Crowley county last week. He was
finishing up visit to all the counties
of the district east of Pueblo. During
Mr.. Hardy's rounds he met with en-
couragement from all sources and had
the unusual pleasure of finding a
great many Democrats who announce
ed openly that they were supporting
him as against Keating.
Mr.. Hardy made friends on this
trip. He is a well-met fellow, and
everywhere got the "glad hand" His
qualifications for the position he seeks
are AL and he will make the Third
district congressman of which we
may be proud, and he will be con-
gressman who will represent all the
district and represent them as true
patriot. There is nothing pacifistic
about him-on the other hand he is
one of those determined 100 percent

as he can. He is anxious to meet the
farmers and asks that they call on

drifters, who will carry it to the larger
cities, means that much greater pros
perity in the local community. Perhaps
not many have thought of the additional
money kept in the Palouse country towns
this season because of the fact that the
harvest work was practically all done
by local men. The transients who
usually make up the greater part OF the
crew in the harvest field were not to be
seen. Instead local men of families and
high school boys who were wont to spend
their vacation in comparative idleness,
were busily engaged in harvesting the
crop. securing good wages for their
work BY reason of this there will be
many thousands of dollars held in Mos
COW and other Palouse country towns
this year which ordinarily drifts out of
the community.

WOMEN For OFFICE.

Whatever the reason may be, whether
long experience with womens suffrage,
or BOTH the fact remains that women
are gradually gaining foothold in the
public offices of this state and county
and this year in greater numbers than
ever have become candidates for public
office. And it cannot be said that the
administration of our public offices by
women is any the less efficient than they
were when held by men.
Idaho is one of the few states that has
q woman occupying the office of state
superintendent of public instruction. She
is again a candidate for the same office.
For a number of years women county
superintendents of schools have been
common thing in this and in some of the
other states of the union.
Two years ago, there were two women
seeking county office in this county,
both of them being candidates for SUPER
intendent of schools This year Gooding
county has the distinction not only. of
having what is believed to be the only
woman clerk, auditor and recorder in,
the state, but has four women who are
seeking county office. Two are candi-
dates for superintendent Of schools, one,
is seeking the office of county treasurer
and the fourth is seeking to succeed her.

corder.
It should be noted in passing that the
deputy clerk, the deputy auditor, the
deputy recorder and the deputy treasurer
are women.-Gooding Leader.

DECIDEDLY RETTER.

Often we hear illusions made to the
democratic administrations war pro-
gram" Sometimes the comment is
favorable and many times unfavorable,
depending greatly upon the political
views held by those who are doing the
talking. After all about nine-tenths of
us take a ridiculously narrow view of
some of the biggest questions that con-
front us. We can't possibly give all the
credit of the marvellous things which
have been done by this country since it
entered the war a little over year ago,
to the democratic party or any other
party. The war provram has been
carried out by the nation-the y. S.
Government-rnade up of both demo-
Gratis and republicans. The biggest men
of both parties are working together to
bring the war to a successful termlna-
ton, so it is absurd to speak of the
wonderful work of the government as
the democratic administrators war

gram sounds better-K endrick Gazette.
