that the cost would be excessive;

NO TROUBLE TO
CATCH FISH AT
MARSHALL LAKE

One need not go to Marshall
lake on a fishing trip and then
complain of ill-luck, according to
j. A. Stewart, who arrived in
Grangeville Tuesday night from
the Marshall lake country.
Choice trout are to be caught
as rapidly as the line can be
dropped into the water for the
fish literally swarm around the
flies, and fight with one another
over which can grab the hook
first.
No fancy steel nor split BAN
boo rod with reel, silk line and
all the paraphernalia of a city
fisherman is necessary either,
said Mr.. Stewart. A pole, cut
in the timber at the lake, a
piece of cheap line and fly
are all that is necessary.
Fishing is not good in the
lake, but trout abound in the
creek emptying into the lake and
in the stream leading from the
lake.

ON COUNTY COMMISSIONER

It will cost the public about 1888
to decide whether John D. Long, of
Grangeville, or G. w. Tarbet, Ferdi-
nand, should be nominated for county
commissioner from the Second district,
on the Republican ticket.
The expenditure of 800 by the
county on the primary covers cost
of new ballot boxes, election supplies,
ballots, transportation of supplies to
and from polling places, AMI the like.
Under the law, even though no con-
tests may exist on the ticket, it is
necessary to hold a primary. 1t has
been suggested that, in case no con-
test existed, the law, if not wholly
cast into discard, should be amended
to permit the county auditor to GER
tify candidates whose nomination pa
pers have been filed, thus eliminating
the cost of holding primary elections

WHAT ABOUT DELEGATES

Again it is pointed out, that dele
gates to the county convention and
precinct committeeman are elected at
the primary, and further means of
providing for the selection of these
officials would be required, in case the
primary were not held.
Election judges and clerks at the
primary must serve without pay, and
the polling place must be provided
free of expense to the county. Under
the old law, when officials at the pri-
mary were paid by the county, cost
of an election was about $1,000 in
Idaho county.

SYRUP MADE FROM SWEET
POTATOES.

We note in yesterdays issue OF
one of the New Orleans papers,
the announcement by the Govern
ment that fifty barrels Of syrup,
made from sweet potatoes have
just been sold on the syrup eX-
change at a price Of ten cents III
excess Of any other syrup. This
Is a most remarkable coincidence,
as the editor Of this paper can at
test that syrup from sweet pOta-
toes has been made here, by our
feIlow-citizen, Mr.. A. G.. Bernard.
We know that Mr.. Bernard has
worked for some time on a pro-
cess for making syrup and other
articles from sweet potatoes and
that he has produced a most de-
licious article. for we have seen
IT and tasted some Of the syrup
all this before the appearance Of
the announcement referred to-.
The syrup made bv Mr.. Bernard
is not only nice in appearance
but very sweet, of fine flavor and
the right consistency. 1t has
often happened in the history of
science. where two or more men
independent of and unknown 70
each other. have brought about
the same discovery. but this case
forms the most striking coinci-
dence in our experience, for as
stated. while Mr.. Bernard was do
ING this work quietly and secretly,
we were in his confidence, and
have actually seen the results
produced. The government an
nouncement saws cit only requires
a little more brains and a little
more palms, to make than the
other syrups. In this Mr.. Ber-
nard thoroughly agrees as he has
tried various processes and while
he doesn t know the government
process, he SAYS new wrinkles are
required to economically manu-
facture the syrup from the specie
of potato.
We are informed that certain
Louisiana business men have been
WHITING for Mr.. Bernard to give
the word to start manufacturing,
but the number of details con-
nected with a proper determine
ton of this work on a practical,
commercial scale, has made him
GO slow in giving the necessary
pronouncement.
