Judge Harris, farmer-lawyer is
now running a ranch just outside the
city Of Blackfoot, He has the distinc-
ton of having been elected county at
torney in Bear Lake county as dem
ocrat. The followers of jefferson
have never been in any other class
than the also-rans in that particular
county. Harris looks like the winner
that he is likely to become in the
Jndgeship fight now coming on, for
he is clean-cnt and clear-eyed
man AMI is highly recommended by
those who know him. His speech was
not political for. he still thinks that
there should be no politics in the ad-

hours talk by Governor Alexander.
Without a doubt he covered the
ground. This part of the program

pool to eat of thd.feast.
The roast meatshad been cooked to

meats were handled in pans full and
the buttered bread in stacks. The
