The Initiative and
 Referendum
Reasons for the Adoption of the
 Proposed Amendment No. 13

1. Under the present law, no matter how much the people dis like a measure passed by the leg islature. if the emergency clause is attached they have no way of preventing it's passage. but must grin and bear it" until some time in the future they can repeal it, but by that time it may have done incalculable harm. Under proposed Amendment No. I3 the voters in the state can prevent a law that meets with general dsi. approval from going into effect, until it has been approved by them at general election, by circulat- ing a petition to that effect, and which must have as many signers as will equal in number six per cent ot the vote for governor at the last election.
 2. Under the present law it is difficult as to be nearly impossible to secure badly needed amend ments to the constitusion, because only three amendments can be submitted by the legislature and the people every two years; con- seQuently there is a race to see which three can be sufimitted first and inconsequential ones may win the coveted place and badly needed ones left off. (Pro- posed Amendment No. 23 cures this evil by providing that as many amendments as necessary May be submitted at one time.)
 3. Under the present law a majority of all the votes cast in the election is necessary to adopt

RETURNS FROM
PRIMARY ELECTION.
In Contest, Jarnagin and Longe-
teig, Republicans. and Rein
hardt and Huggins,
Democrats, Seem
Winners.

There was so little interest TAX
en- in the primary election held in
Lewis county Tuesday for the
nomination of candidates for
county office that only about 25
per cent of the registered vote
was cast. This condition is at
tributable to various causes, prin-
cipal among which was the fact
that only four contests existed on
both the Republican and Demo-
cratic tickets. Then. harvest was
just beginning and many were
too busy to vote. Another condi-
ton is the changed and compli-
Gated system of voting, which
prevented many an elector from
exercising his privilege.
The returns obtainable up to
noon today show the vote on
Martin l.. Jarnagin and Chas. +.
Thomas, candidates for the Re-
publican nomination for repre-
sentative. to be 1873 for the former
and 176 for the latter, with Ma
son and Slickpoo precincts yet to
hear from.
In the contest between Harry
E. Holmes and liver j. Longeteig
for the Republican nomination
for commissioner Of the second
district, the former has 40 and
the latter 245. with Reubens,
Mason and Slickpoo precincts still
to hear from. These will make no
difference in this result however.
On the Democratic ticket, in
the race Of Geo. f. Reinhardt and
Ralph w. Stuart for the nomina-
tion for commissioner of the first
district the former has 1l9 votes
and the latter 116. with Reubens,
Mason and Slickpoo precincts yet
to hear from. 1t will require the
official count to decide this race.
For commissioner for the third
district. the Democrats gave Har-
ley Huggins 151 votes and John
G. Osborne 1913, outside of Reu-
bens, Mason and Slickpoo pre-
cincts. which have not yet report
ed. This assures Huggins' nom-
nation.
w. j. Smith, of Nezperce, re-
ceived the Republican nomination
for sheriff. and available returns
indicate that Geo. III. Ellis, of
this city. was nominated on that
ticket for the office of Probate
judge.
Aside from these and the offic-
es of superintendent Of schools,
assessor and coroner, on the Re-
publican ticket, for which no fill
ing had been made, the places
were all filled by the one person
as filed and heretofore published.

Allison Johnston Wounded.

Allison Johnston, second son of
Mrs. Frank Freeman, of Kamiah,
was dangerously wounded last
Monday morning when a Cana
dian army rifle he was shooting
exploded and the breech block
tore away his nose and fore-part
OF his upper jaw.
The accident occurred near
Dent, on the North Fork Of the
Clearwater River, at which point
Johnston had been working with
a logging crew. Medical aid was
secured as quickly as possible and
the wound was dressed, several
stitches being required to stop
the excessive loss Of blood. The
wounded man was later taken to
the White hospital at Lewiston,
whence a report received here
yesterday stated that his condi-
ton was favorable and he was
getting along as well as could be
expected.
Johnston is an ex-service man,
having seen some of the heavy
front line fighting on the French
fronts. and when comrade in
the logging camp stated that he
had defective army rifle he
bought from a returned Canadian
soldier, Johnston told him to get
it and he would fix it. After it
was repaired, Johnston placed a
cartridge in it and turned it over
to the owner, telling him to try it.
For some reason he declined, and
Johnston then placed it to his
own shoulder and fired. The ex-
plosion resulted. the breech block
and bolt. which evidently had not
been securely fastened, blowing
back into the unfortunate man s
faces

Big Crowd Go to Fight.

When Ketchel and Reager en-
ter the ring at Winchester Sat-
urday night for their 12-round
fight, and thousand people look
down upon them and take their
measure, they will be greeted by
a lusty cheer from at least hun
dred Nezperce throats-and that
cheer will be for Ketchel, the
prairie's favorite son in the fistic
arena.
The word comes over that ev-
erything is about ready for the
battle, the PRINCIPALS are now
slowing down from their stren-
uous training and both are at
their best. The seating and light
ing arrangements for the open
air arena are all lined up, and the
ticket sales give promise Of rec
ord crowd.
Ketchel's prairie friends are
backing him to the limit, while
Reager is strongly supported by
the fans up Spokane way. They
have the dope that their man is
going to give the lanky fighter
the surprise Of his career and will
beat him in less than ten rounds.
But, to an unbiased looker-on the
match has the appearance OF a
well balanced one with the bet
ting fair at even money.
A big feature Of the exhibition
will be the semi final bout Of six
rounds between Art Ketchel and
Harry Moody, the local glove ar
tist who went against Lawson
here for ten rounds.

ticket selling at Nezperce and

The Felts to Spokane.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Felt and
sons, Curry, Jr., and Marion,
went to Spokane last Monday to
permanently reside, they having
recently purchased handsome
home there at West 808 Four
teenth Ave. Mr.. Felt still retains
his mercantile business here,
which will be under the manage
ment of Leroy Miller, but to
which Mr.. Felt will devote por-
ton Of his time.
In the departure of this fam
lily, the prairie loses a group OF
it's leading citizens, and we use
this word leading without quail
fication, for during his fifteen
years residence in Nezperce
there was scarcely a public en-
terprise of any nature promulgat-
ed or put over but what Curry
Felt had leading part in it, and
to his enterprising spirit may be
fairly attributed much OF the
development this community has
known since he became proml-
nent business factor OF it, and
that was from the first day he
set foot in this town. On the 9TH
er hand, Mrs. Felt always had a
prominent part in the commun-
ity's social life. and while MAIN
tanning an attractive and hospit,,
able home, gave much time and
help to those institutions and al
fairs which make our community
life agreeable and worth while.
The boys are fine lads, and. like E
their parents, led in the affairs OF Of
which they were part, and will
develop into capable men in their
larger environment. No family
that has left Nezperee will be
missed more than this one, and
they take with them the good
wishes of the community for con-
tinued prosperity and happiness
in their new field.

Nezperce Has Latest X-Rav
Machine.

Doctors Gist and Dummit
now have their offices equipped
with a Victor X-Ray machine
which is the last word in this line
OF mechanical development, ana
by which this community is n,w
provided with as completely
equipped offices for the practice
OF medicine and dentistry as NAV
be found in the larger cities
A prominent indication Of 1be
up-to-dateness Of this apparatus
is the Coolidge tube with which it
is provided, being air-cooled and
therefore much more efficient in
handling the rays which make the
picture. This is the type of ma
chine the government found most
practical and singled out for use
IN its front-line army hospitals,
for, while it is compact, its ability
to stand the strain and take a su-
perior picture under extreme con-
ditions was demonstrated beyond
question.
The equipment cost $500, but
with it our people may now have
their teeth or any part of their
internal economy" photograph
ed without the trouble and ex-
pense of going to some distant
point.
Since it's installation a few
days ago several pictures Of in
juries and tooth troubles have
been made that well demonstrate
it's value in the treatment of hui
man ills.

Cottonwood Easy Victim.

The local prairie league base
ball team won a rather hollow
victory oveer Cottonwood last
Sunday at the Nezpercer park. The
final score was IL to 0.
Credit must be given to Cotton
wood for keeping team in the
field in spite of such a long string
of defeats. Few teams would
keep going in the face OF such adj
yersity. We hope they win a
game before their schedule closes.
Hollen pitched his second shut
out of the year and, by the way,
these are the only shut-outs in
which the locals have figured. He
struck out eight men in row
and, if he had tried, could have
held his opponents practically
hitless. His support was perfect
while Cottonwood made thirteen
bobbles.
South did well for Cottonwood,
holding our leading batters help
less, striking out eight and allow
ing only seven hits and one earn
ed run.
Iverson was the smuggling hero
of the day, doing the Babe Ruth
act in the sixth, the ball being
recovered in front of the mill
about the time "Ivy" was eros
sing the plate. 1t was the first
home run made by league team
on the new grounds.
The dates for the Craigmont
games have been set for the 18th
and 22nd, as stated below. All
the contests were thrown out at
the league meeting last Thursday
and the games will stand as play
ed.
Three games will be played
during the coming weekend be.
tween the all-star teams of Idaho
and Lewis counties. The final
set-to will occur at Winchester
