ALFRED LEHMAN TO
GET COMPENSATION
EIGHTY DOLLARS PER MONTH
FOR WORLD WAR SOLDIER
INJURED BY SHRAPNEL.

A special despatch from Seattle
says: The United States Veterans
bureau announces the allowance of $50
per month to Alfred Lehman as COM
pensation from the government on
account of injuries sustained by shrap-
mel in the field in France, with Sl67.23
back compensation. Alfred is Salmon
youngster and owns ranch that he
has been compelled to neglect on ac-
count OF his injuries. Twice he has
been in hospitals since coming home
from the war. He is strong charac-
ter and numbers every person his
friend if he knows his worth.
Announcement was made by officials
of the Veterans bureau that plans are
being pushed for the establishment of
u large hospital in the Pacific North
west to care for mental cases. A meas
ure now pending in Congress will pro-
vide for this purpose. The hospital
would at first house $50 mental cases
and later 500 veterans, according TO
the plans.
With a total of 2,129 tubercular
cases among war veterans in this dis
trict of the Veterans bureau, reported
to date, tuberculosis among former
service men Is gaining steadily despite
the fact that the war ended more than
three years ago, according to l.. c.
Jesseph of Seattle, district manager.
Fifty veterans have been hospitalized
in Washington, Oregon and Idaho
since January lst. OF the number of
cases arrested, 81 ex-service men are
taking vocational training.

POLITICAL POT SOON
TO BOIL AND BUBBLE

In the promise of democratic
walkover in the coming election can
didates are not wanting. w. l.. Mulkey
and Walter c. Virlen are being con-
sidered as available material for the
sherifTality along with 7. j. Stroud,
though neither Virden nor Mulkey is
an avowed candidate at all whether
Stroud is or is not. Still another good
democrat who would make home run
if he should choose to enter the lists
is Harry Hill. Hill is the present water
superintendent of Salmon, for whom
everybody has good word for his
promptness and courtesy and never
let-up energy. Besides sheriffing is
said to be in his line, with brother
holding that Office in Montana and
his father before him for more years
than the oldest inhabitant remembers
anything about.
The county democrats may take
notion TO present a candidate for the
Office of district judge in f. II. Cast
erlin, who coul1 get the honor il he
wants it.
H. NJ. Shaw, who is temporarily
residing in California, will get the
nomination by the democrats for coun-
y auditor and recorder if he should
want il, while opposed TO him will be
w. w. Simmonds, now holding the
office
Further along the ticket il is the
hope often expressed that a taxpayers
ticket may be named from top 10 bot
tom by both parties. particularly for
the legislative Representatives and in
the board of county commissioners.
The legislature will be appealed TO
for relief from crushing taxation by
way Of limiting the taxing bodies.
such as municipalities, highway and
school districts. giving the county
commissioners, the right 10 check the
ambitions of these taxlaP units.
Looking TO this end it should be the
purpose of democrats as we'll as re-
publicans to select their very best
men for commissioners as well as
legislative representatives.
George Kern is generally regarded
as suitable timber for county COM
missioner, and so is Wallace Slavin,
the one a democrat and the other a
republican, but both hard as flint
against extravaganza in public Office
and withal men of sound judgment.
The democrats will more than likely
insist upon w. II. Fayle as their can
di1ate again for this office from the
Lemhi valley. The present commits
sioner, c. F. Snyder, can have the
republican nomination If the Office has
not brought him grief enough in the
present term. Both these are first class
men. Commissioner Summers has al
ways said ones enough for him. His
record has been clean and aboveboard
and progressive AMI not the slightest

BACUI SALE DRAWS
BIG CROWD BUYERS

The Baciu sale last Tuesday attract
ed the largest crowd seen at an auc-
tion held for many day in the Sal
mon country. The gathering was like
q county fair in some respects. 1t
was hard day for the auctioneer and
clerk, but Col Carpenter and Banker
Edwards were equal to the demands
upon them. Good prices were realized
on the large variety of property of
fered, everything being sold excepting
a threshing outfit and a tractor, to-
tai of $4,000 realized ,one of the best
teams was knocked own to Charles A.
Beers, new owner of the Baciu ranch,
for $275. Mr.. Baciu is to move at
once to Jerome, where he takes fine
farm in exchange.
There is a family of six children
leaving Saturday morning with their
parents for the new home at Jerome.
Only few years ago the hea of this
came to the Salmon country $3.50 in
debt, with assets of $4,000 in energy
and industry My. These requisites
of success have been capitalized, for
now he is worth more thousands that
number his children two or three times
over.

How's Business?

When anyone asks you this question
don't answer until yon are pretty Ger.
tain that there is a decided and honest
inquiry behind the question. Too many
ask this as a matter of course-ar
too many business men answer il the
same way. Many who put the question
to you don't really want to know.
II business is good, they are sur.
prisde. If it is bad or Indifferent, they
are satisfied at finding omeone in
sympathy with them.
Your business may be rotten, but
there is nothing constructive in shout
ing it from the housetops. 1t kills time
creates wrong impressions, and is dis
astrous in general because of the
effect it has on your own morale and
that of your business associates.

FOR DEMONSTRATION
FARM ADJOINING CITY

At tn. regular meeting of the Busi-
ness Mems association this week two
highly important matters came up for
consideration. The first of these was
embodied in plan suggested by A. j.
Putnam for the purchase or lease of
small farm adjacent to Salmon for
demonstration purposes in connection
with rural employments and activities.
Mr.. Putnam said the idea had come to
him from DR.. Owen T. Stratton, who
is one of the far-seeing citizens of
the community, always alert for its
upbuilding. Mr.. Putnam quoted STRAIT
ton to say that on SUCH a place could
be shown for all the men from Mis-
souri, just how to do and how not to do
the work on the farm, the scientific
way and the unscientific way, in crop
production and general husbandry for
the garden and fields, not neglecting
poultry and livestock interests. 1t was
also suggested that this important
work be carried on under the direction
of the county agent. The plan as out
lined met with instant favor by all
present to make the farm bureau yield
its best returns. The county agent
himself, L. E. Tillotson, who was pre-
sent, said he heartily favored it. While
nothing definite was planned at this
meeting to carry into effect the
scheme it met such general favor that
without. doubt it will not be allowed
to die.
The association also took up the
matter of adequate advertising by way
of circulars and pamphlets to attract
settlers and tourists, the name of Mr..
Putnam being added to the committe
already engaged in the work of pre-
paring such matter for the press. l..
w. Greving and l.. E. Tillotson are
to serve with Putnam on this com
mittee.
So much earnestness was manifest
in both these enterprises that good
results may be looked for without
delay. They should not be allowed to
sleep. To this end let there be a gen.
eral community meeting at the next
session of the association to be held on
the second Wednesday evening in
April. A committee was also appoint
by President Haveman to look into
and report upon the delivery of parcels
post matter under the present train
schedule.

ANY OLD CLOTHES
TO GIVE EX-SOLDIER ?

WASHINGTON, Mar. Awhile the
republican congress is wrestling with
President Harding's proposal to pay
the soldiers bonus with the sales tax
(but not to be in any hurry about
passing such legislation), Senator
Caraway (Dem., Ark pictures an
other form of proposed relief for the
nations defenders, thus:
This great party, the republican
party, which came into office and as
sumed full control of the government
in every branch in 1921 by reason of
a propaganda that they and they alone
were capable of meeting all difficulties
and doing justice to everyone, profess
ed they would reduce taxes and pay
the soldiers adjusted compensation.
has finally admitted its impotence. 1t
now presents a pitiable spectacle dis
cloesd in letter which | will read.
The letter which came to my desk to-
day is being sent out by republican
member of congress from one of the
richest districts in New York. 1t reads
as follows:
February 10, 1922.
Dear Senator: Have you any old
clothes, suits, overcoats, shirts, under
wear, shoes, etc. The Lest We Forget
Committee have requested me to ask
you to leave or send your old clothes
to keith's theater any time of the day
for the next month. The COMMITTEES will
undertake to clean and repair your old
clothes and put them in the hands of
eX-service men who are in need.
"ln other words this great party
that was going to do justice to the SOL
der finally presents the sorry spec
tacle of sending out letters begging
people for old, discarded underwear
and Oil shoes in order to clothe the
ex-service men who are walking the
streets and begging for work and for
something to eat under this admin
istration."
Best Minds" Get Third Place.
Senator Lodges boast that more
was done by the Disarmament Con-
ference for the worlds peace in twelve
weeks than has been done anywhere
else in twice as many years is of
course only one of Mr. Lodges char
acteristic modest boasts. He was a
member of the conference.
On this subject, Cordell Hull, Chair
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee, recently said in a speech at
Indianapolis:
The people are already concluding
that it would have been far wiser to
have the affairs of the nation directed
by the common sense and practical
craftsmanship of democratic admin
istration than by the boasted repub-
lican 'best minds" which the public
are even now viewing as another re-
publican myth. Their so-called best
minds in profession have become

criticism is heard about any hand he
had in any election fraud with which
his name has been connected.
The unterrified democracy as well as
i great many republicans of indepen-
dent mind are looking for democratic
sweep this year. II is already said that
if Fred Viel wants 10 serve any longer
than nine months of the term for
which he was elected he can have
the Office for the asking at the next
election when the sharpers will be
powerleess TO deprive him of his rights
and defeat the will of the people.
Most of the names used as candi-
dates are in no sense active candi-
dates but in the general demand for
economy and strict accountability in
the public offices they are spoken of
as the right sort for both parties to
get behind this year of grace 1922
Naturally the drift toward the dem
ocratic party at this time makes the
proposed nominations on that ticket
the most promising for election in
the fall.

ballot box" On the face of the testi-
mony as revealed in the trial of the
case there was diabolical conspiracy
entered into to defeat the will of the
voters, constituting a crime of the
first magnitude. The guilty ones
should not be allowed to escape.
Bets Hung Up.
Numerous bets placed on the result
as between Summers and Viel were
paid by the shareholders to the Sum-
mers hackers before this decision was
announced. In numbers of instances
the wagers were held out, however,
until the supreme court could pass
upon the matter. These will be paid
over accordingly to the Viel hackers.
Whether those who have lost will vol
unfairly dig up and pay back the bets
they took down will depend upon the
quality of their craftsmanship. There
is no means provided in the law for
collecting election bets of any kind,
neither against principals nor stake
holders. 1t is generally understood that
H. H. Boomer furnished large amounts
Of money wagered on the Summers
end.
The Niel-Summers case was carried
through the courts on the preparation
of Judge Padgham and the late Judge
Quarles, the review for the Supreme
court embodied in the court brief being
regarded as remarkably exhaustive
and thoroughly covering the ground
in all the contentious and points at
issue. 1t was a great public service
of these lawyers and the outcome of
the trial will in itself put a damper
on any future efforts to nullify the
will of the people as expressed in
the ballot box.
Messages received from Dillon,
where Fred /. Viel and his family
have resided this winter, say that not
only Mr.. Wells entire household but
his two store assistants and himself
have been confined TO their homes by
illness. 1t was necessary that the
store should be closed on Monday. The
illness came as the Wells were arrang-
ing to return to their Salmon home,
where fires need only be lighted for
their occupancy.
