OBITUARY

Edith jennings was born at Park
Rapids, Mimi. September 5. 1882.
and died at Spokane. Wash, July O,
1920. She attended the public
schools at the place of her birth At
the age of l6 she was married to
George Brown. from whom she was
separated within a year, when she re-
turned to her parents. In 1899 the
family moved to Grand Forks N. D..
After residing there three years,
they went to Missoula. Mont, where
they remained until 1911, when
they came to Orofino and established
their home on farm about two
miles down the Clearwater river.
The deceased was married the sec
ond time about fifteen years ago
to Charles Steel. whose present
whereabouts is unknown. Mrs.
Steel seems to have been the child
of misfortune. Her tragic death at
Spokane, where she drowned her
self in the river, ended life of un-
ceasing sorrow. She had always
been delicate and frail. During the
past year her friends say, she had
shown signs of a general breakdown.
The remains were brought to Oro-
fino for burial Funeral services
were held at the Methodist church
on Sunday. July IL, Rev J. A. Hoff-
mann officiating. lnterment took
place in the Orofino cemetary.

SPEAKER OF HOUSE HERE

A party of fisherman from Harri-
son spent Wednesday night in town.

lette and Emil Miller. They spent
several days fishing on the North
Fork, coming in via st. Maries and
Elk River. Mr.. Kiger is speaker OF
the Idaho state legislature and
stopped over in Orofino to visit some
of his friends. He is an aspirant for
the goyernorship. 1t is too early to
predict what his chances are, but
Mr.. Kiger's friends point with some
measure of pride to his record as
speaker. He is man with winning
personality and makes friends easily
Having no personal financial means
at his command. he will wage a
quiet campaign. Should he contin-
ue to retain the hearty support OF
the Mormon element. as he did last
year, he will make the gubernator-
ial race lively one for the other
aspirants. Mr.. Miller is we'll known
in the Ilo country. where he is own
er of farm. He is friend of the
Samson Snyder family. He and Mr
Snyder came through what is now
Orofino thirty years ago. Mr. Ri
lette is bookkeeper for the Export

plant now being used will be re-
tanned for emergency use.

ing to create a socialist government.
Capital is flying the state, the cred
1t of county, municiple and state
governments is at a low ebb, the
taxes have been greatly increased,
partly because of the great overhead
expense due to creation of commits
sions and offices filled by long resi-
dent radicals at high salaries. The
head of the tax machinery is so
cialist and he has doubled and
trebled the farm assessments of the
state, apparently to force land into
the hands of the state. OF course
this pinches the farmers, who were
the initiators of the whole move
ment and ultimately the clash be-
tween socialism and the body of
farmers means the estruction Of the
league.
Meantime. the league leaders be-
lieve they can hold this solid farm
er's support by continuous denuncia-
tion of big business, Wall street and
money powers. They also enlisted
for this election the support of rail-
road labor unions which are in the
control of radicals and socialists.
Against the league were all the
them American farmers a good many

formerly of the league who have
seen the light, and a great majority
of them ex- service men. The bust

Bv William H. Taft

July Yesterday republican
primary election was held in North
Dakota that meant much in the pol
itics, both of that state and of the
country. 1t was to determine who
shall be the republican nominee for
United States senator to succeed
Senator Gronna, and who shall be
the nominees of that party for the
governorship and all the other state
offices. At the moment this is writ
ten the result of the balloting is not
known.
The fight was between the non
partfzan leaguers and their oppo-
nents who style themselves the inde-
pendent voters association, or the

ters in the choice of the nominee for
governor. Frazier, the chief head OF
the nonpartizan league, is seeking

Attorney General LANCER. LANCER

league and was elected attorney gen
