Men Rursue
Investigations on North

commerce commission hearing in Boi-
Sc, on September Is, in an effort to
show why the building of the rail
road should not be forced by the fed
eral government.
On their visit to Adams Camp, the
men made no remarks to outsiders
which would indicate the purpose of
their visit, other than to inquire of a
forest ranger whether he could supply
them with a drainage map of the
mountain country.
The trip from Grangeville to Adams
Camp and return was made by auto
mobile
1t has been suggested by some
that the railroads contemplate con-
struction work in Idaho county,
while others are of the opinion that
the men are gathering data to be used
in opposition to any extension of their
lines in central Idaho.

4 ventions it is declared that the Non

tinued in Idaho county, following the
general election two years ago.
FULL TICKET THIS FALL?
That the Non-partisan league will
have a ticket in the field, either by
petition or by Endorsement of regular
party candidates, is said by some to
be a foregone conclusion. 1t Is de-
clared likely that the Non-partisans
will place some candidates in the
field as Independents by the petition
route, while they may indorse others
who have been nominated by the
Republicans or Democrats.
The Non-partisans will hold a state
convention in Boise on August 3, at
which time a full congressional and
state ticket will be nominated, it is
said.
Candidates for county offices can be
Nominated by petition, and this meth
IOd is expected to be followed by the
Non-partisans in filing men for the
legislature, and possibly for other
county offices. The petitions must bear
the names of 300 qualified electors,
who have not voted at the primary,
and must be filed with the county au-
ditor not later than the second Tues
day in August, or on August 10.
SECRET MEETINGS HELD
The Non-partisan league has held
one or two secret meetings in Idaho
county within the last few months,
and at these meetings, it is believed, a
program of action was discussed, If
not acted upon.
F. P. Waters, who was in Idaho
county in the interest of the Non
partisan league two years ago, now
is in Moscow, to conduct the league 8
campaign in Latah county, according
to the Moscow Star-Mirror. That
newspaper says Mr.. Waters declared a
clean campaign will be conducted,
and that the league will make its fight
on principles and not on personalities.
He said the league will put up the
fight of its life, and that Latah coun-
