POISON HOPPERS.

Grasshoppers which are ap-
pearing in fields after grain has
been cut, should be poisoned i'm
mediately, according to Victor
Jones, assistant entomologist of
the University of Idaho extern
sion department. Mr.. Jones has
been working on Camas Prairie
poisoning hoppers. "If the hop
pers are not poisoned now, they
will breed and it will be neces-
sary to poison hoppers next
SPRING" said Mr.. Jones.
So far, no damage has been
done by the hoppers, said Mr..
Jones, and none will result, save
possibly to spring grain.
Crickets should be treated the
same as grasshoppers, he said.

new PRIMARY
LAW IS FAILURE
NEW PRIMARY SYSTEM
PROVES DISAPPOINTING
TO THE VOTERS

Idaho's new revised primary
law was tried out Tuesday for
the first time since its revision
and proved to be complete fail
ure i'm every respect. Idaho
county with a voting strength of
4728 votes during the presiden-
tial year of 1916 failed to regis
ter more than 800 votes under
the new primary law. In Cot
tonwood precinct, which is the
largest III the county the Repub-
licans mustered out II votes
while the democrats failed to
hold an election. 1t is estimated
that less than half of the pre-
cincts in the county held pri-
mary elections.
Only two contsests appeared
on the Republican ticket, that of
commissioner from the second
district and for representative in
the legislature. In the commits
sioner's contest John Long won
over X. w. Tarbet in the county
and for representative Fem de-
feated Addison. Longs vote in
Cottonwood was an even dozen,
OF the entire vote cast here.
Fem of Kooskia for representa-
tive received 9 votes and Adki-
son of Ferdinand 3.
Leeper Wins
The only contests in the demo-
cratic primaries was won by j.
B. Leeper over John Pulse, the
small vote in the county gave
Leeper a majority of a few votes.
The new primary system, not
only proved to be a failure in
Idaho county but throughout
the entire state.
Want Old System Back.
u. S. senator's, John F. Nugent
and William f. Borah hove al
ready came out III favor of the
old primary system, or rather
spoke in favor of the old system
prior to the election Tuesday.

PETTIBONE FOR
SQUARE DEAL
IDAHO COUNTY MAN HAS
ENTERED RACE FOR
GOVERNOR

Senator N. B. Pettibone, one
of Idaho county's most promin-
ent citizens is a candidate for the
democratic nomination for gov
ernor on the democratic ticket
and has given out the following
declaration of principles on
which he is basing his campaign:
81 believe in the fundamental
principles of democracy as en-
unciated by Thomas jefferson
and promulgated by the demo-
cratic party. | believe with the
founders of our government that
all governments should be instit-
uted for the benefit and ad-
vancement of mankind; that the
vast accumulation of wealth
earned from the fields and for
ests of our country should be
made to serve instead of enslave
men.
Stand for Square Deal.
Man must continue to be the
sovereign of the institutions he
creates. Democracy, sover-
eighty and freedom of man are
the fundamentals which will
guide me, and my conduct, in the
future as in the past.
"If by the suffrage of the peo-
pie of Idaho | should become
governor, | shall endeavor at all
times to give to every citizen and
institution or business a square
deal.
In so far as is possible, the
machinery of the government of
the state should be used to pro-
tect and aid in developing our
natural resources. Intelligent
effort and cooperation with our
federal government should in a
short time bring about the open
ino up and marketing of our
public timber. urge the devel-
opment of power plants and the
settlement of homesteaders OF
thousands of acres of public
lands which have been unjustly
withdrawn from entry.
/ | also deem it the duty of good
government to see that the pro,
ducts of the farm, the mine and
the factory are marketed to the
best advantage of those who
have labored to produce them
Marketing associations must bt
established and put on a working
basis. Public institutions il
Idaho must be adequately sup
ported.
FavOrs Highway Building
Highway construction shoult
be pushed forward as rapidly a!
possible, thereby increasing tn,
value of farm lands.
THE cabinet form of govern
ment has been an expensive ex
pertinent, tending toward devel
oping government by a machin
instead of by the people, ant
therefore should be abolished.
"The judiciary should be re
moved from politics.

MILK TAKES A RAISE.

Dairymen who are supplying
Cottonwood with milk have rails
ed the price of milk from 1919
cents a quart to Is cents a quart.
Drying up of pastures and the
high cost of feed is given as the
reason for the raise. Many of
the milk vanders are already
feeding their dairy cattle in ord

RUHOFF'S ROUNDUP.

A novel picnic and one OF the
most enjoyable affairs of the
season was pulled off last Sun
day by Mrs. VIM. and Tony Ru-
hoff in the way of a picnic in the
woods on the mountain near the
monastery. The day was ideal for
picnicing, the sky being cloud
less and the sun generous with
its radiance and fire so that
everyone welcomed the opport-
unity of spending the day in the
shade of the large pines and
among the ferns and huckleber-
ries. From the number of peo-
pie present the occasion may be
truly called a roundup" of their
friends whom they treated to the
best obtainable and provided a
program of sports and amuse-
ments that is seldom equalled at
a regular Fourth of July cele-
bration. Promptly at noon din
ner was served, the hosts furn-
ishing everything except the
dishes which they had requested
their guests to bring with them
and things were run sort of cafe
terra style. There was hot cof-
fee, hot roast beef and pork and
leans, sandwiches, salads, pick
les, cakes and ice cream, in fact
one could not have gotten any
more or anything better this side
of Davenport's.
The afternoon was spent i'm
playing cards, sack racing, a
needle race, egg race and vari-
Gus other games were pulled off
to the delight and enjoyment of
the crowd. The winning numb
er in the way of amusement was
the stunt of pinning the tail on
a mule drawn on canvas and
stretched between poles. Those
entering the contest were blind
folded and led 20 feet away from
the canvas, turned three times
around and then headed towards
the mule to pin the tail where it
ought to be. Funny what some
people think as to where the tail
ought to be on a mule. Frances
Hattrup knows more about a
mule than did any of the boys
present at any rate she won first
prize. Mrs. Mike Seubert won
the needle race and Mrs. Luchte-
field the egg race.
At six o'clock another big feed
was served at which everyone
partook to his hearts content
with still plenty left for break
fast had the crowd desired to
stay. The event was in respect
and honor to relatives and
friends from the east who are
visiting at the Ruhoff's.
Among those present we not
iced the following and their
families: John Duclos, Barney
Tacke, Herman Funke, Felix
Martzen, w. B. Hussman, VIM.
Crea, Jos. Uhlenkott, Jake Jenny
Mike Seubert, Matt Seubert,

Besides the above and their
families were present. VIM. Ross
Mrs. Schurman and Henry Sch
urman, VIM. Arnzen and many
more whose names we cannot re-
call. After supper the crowd
left for home after thanking
their hosts for the splendid time
enjoyed and assuring their visi-
tors of hearty welcome to Ida
no and hoping that they would
return to make this their per.
manent home.

MOUNTAIN IRON
EASY FOR ELY
A STEADY RAIN THROUGHOUT
THE ENTIRE GAME SUNDAY
MADE THINGS SLOW.

A heavy field owing to the steady
drizzle of rain during almost the
entire game Sunday slowed up<the
exhibition to a considerable extent.
The Mountain Iron team got away
with a bang in the first inning and
scored a run in this frame by lucky
streak. The Ely boys did better
however and chalked up two to their
credit.
The ball was hard to handle in the
sloppy field. The pitchers did
remarkably we'll however considering
the conditions Of the field and the
ball, and while the ball was slugged
quite nobly the hits on the score

of the long drives were handled by

with a home run drive over the left
field fence that was beauty.
Gianotti and Lambert were the
battery for Ely and Sarri and Beck

here in cars and returned the same
way. The appended box score gives
a good account of the game:

CELEBRATION
PLANS COMPLETE
LEGION BOYS HAVE ARRANGE.
MENTS PERFECTED FOR A
BIG DAY AND NIGHT.

In another column will be found a
program as arranged by Frank Lozar
Post, American Legion, for the
celebration of July 4th in this city
next Monday. The program is a
very complete one and will furnish
something to occupy the attention of
old and young for the entire day and
way along into the night.
The big event of the celebration
will be the Worlds Championship
wrestling match Monday evening at
6 80; the ball game in the afternoon;
the fireworks display and the grand
ball. The championship wrestling
match is attracting country wide
attention. Since the same was
advertised the place of holding the
same has beeap changed from the
Ball Park to the Auditorium. The
boys felt that the expense and work
would be to great to put the park
into condition for the event as the
time between the ball game and the
wrestling match would not warrant
the erection of bleachers to care for
the crowd which the grand stand
could not handle. 1t is estimated
that the Auditorium will be able to
accommodate the attendance in far
better manner and the ticket receipts
will be greater. A state referee will
be here to oversee the match.
Hundreds of tourists are in the
vicinity who have all asked for pro-
grams and reservation for the
wrestling match. The fireworks
display will be an attraction of more
than usual merit and the ball game
between the Duluth Athletics and
Ely will attract large crowd. The
grand ball will wind up the night.
Out of town people are invited
to make use of the Community
Center where all conveniences are
provided in the shape of rest rooms,
toilets, baths, reading, writing and
billiard rooms and other facilities
for comfort. This does not apply
only to out of town guests but local
people are expected to make use of
facilities provided.

OTHER IRON
ORE. FIELDS
(by Fair Tax Association

We have Dragged so long and so
loudly of Minnesota's wonderful
deposits of iron ore that we have
actually come to believe that the
world is dependent upon Minnesota
for it's supply of iron ore.
In this we entirely deceive our
selves. The world does not have to
come to Minnesota for its iron ore.
There are several larger and richer
fields, the rapid development of
which Minnesota will directly pro-
mote, if it puts any additional handi-
cap upon the development of it's own
iron ores.
The largest known deposit of Iron
ore in the world is in Brazil, where
there are billions of tons of very
high-grade ore lying practically on
the top of the ground; the second
largest deposit is on the coast of
New Foundland, where there are
3,5OO,OO0,OO0 tons of high-grade ore,
easy to be mined and easy to be
shipped; the third largest deposit in
the world is Alsace Lorraine; the
Lake Superior deposit ranks fourth,
and Minnesota's ore is part of this;
the 9Th is in Sweden; the sixth in
Cuba; the seventh in Alabama; the
eighth in New York and New Jersey;
the ninth in Norway. There is also
being developed at the present time
an enormous field in Africa which
may prove to be the largest of the
world and which will be mined at a
very low cost.
The Brazilian and New Foundland
ore fields are now being actively
developed. Brazil is encouraging
mining companies to come in by re-
hitting all taxes on developed fields.
Numerous mining companies, includ-
ing the U. S. Steel, Bethlehem Steel
Company and others, are taking
part in the development of these
fields, are even using some ore from
them and are preparing to ship from
them on a large scale if necessary.
Can Minnesota afford to drive
mining operations to other fields?
Should it not instead do everything
in it's power to develop it's own
enormous deposits of low-grade ores?

directors is as follows:
F. E. House, H. Johnson, Thomas
Owens, B. R. Moore, w. A. Clark,
F. c. Marshall and R. P. Moore.
