GOT THE KING ELK.

Milton Hunter and Joe Hall, of out
Russell way, returned Monday from
a big game hunt ON Fish Creek in the
upper Lochsa country. They brought
in as trophies two sets of elk horns,
from two bulls of the tribe that
weighed nearly thousand pounds
each. The set from the elk killed by
Mr.. Hunter was evidently from the
king of the forest, six-pointer, with
a 421s-inch spread, and about as per-
feet in balance as they grow. The
horns from the animal killed by Mr..
Hall were small, but the teeth from
this bull, which was evidently the
older of the two, were fine specimens.
Hunter got his elk at distance of
over 500 yards with Springfield 80
caliber sporting rifle, and placed three
shots behind the righ fore-leg within
a space of eight inches, two piercing
the heart. AT the last shot, the rum
ming animal turned sumersault and
came down on his back, in which pos
ition he was found by Hunter and
Hall when they reached him. Both
men were shooting at him, but only
the bullets from Hunters gun struck
the mark.
Capt. Chan. Wallace and VIM. Ram
ey accompanied the party from the
for,,,or 20 plooa Of fha Forks of tho
Middle Fork, and Mr.. Wallace killed
'sspike" bull elk and Mr.. Ramey
got deer.
Hunter and Hall left Nezperce Sept.
30 and returned Oct. 13. They found
game plentiful and had an abundance
of fish. The trip was made by wagon
to the Forks and thence by saddle
and pack horse.

FAIR rs GOOD.

We received the following letter
from an interested and appreciative
attendant at the Lewis County Fair
and this is an expression of the opin-
ion of the many who attended this
years fair:
fI hope you will allow me little
space in your valuable paper to ex-
press my gratitude and appreciation
to the management of the Lewis Coun-
ty Fair.
"I not only wish to say that they
have made the Lewis County Fair q
bigger and better fair, (and in saying
this, I do not want to detract from
the efforts of past Lewis County
Fairs, for their efforts helped make
this fair what it was), but that the
people were made to feel that this is
OUR FAIR, and that I might mention
several departments anyone Of which
would have justified the expense of
the whole fair.
"The sports and entertainment were
clean. In fact, the Lewis County
Fair is big asset not only to Lewis
County but to the state of Idaho.
"Yours for a bigger and better
fair next year"

mont, Idaho.

Mr.. Mitchen's Speech.

On Friday afternoon Mr.. P. W.
Mitchell spoke to the Nezperce High
School students on the subject of
"How the President is Elected" " This
speech coming at this time is doubly
important because of the election on
November fourth. Mr.. Mitchell point
ed out the fact that we do not vote
for the presidential candidates them
selves, but for the presidential electors
each state having as many electors
as it has senators and representatives
in Congress. When the electors are
chosen, they cast their votes for pres
ident, then the count is made. One
copy is left in the care of the secre-
tary of state, the second is sent on
to Washington and the third is car
ried to Washington by one of the
electors.
In case no presidential candidate
receives a majority of the electoral
votes, which may happen in the COM
ing election, the House of Representa-
tives proceeds to elect a president
from the three candidates having the
highest number of votes. In this
election each state has one vote. LII
the House fails to choose president
before the fourth of March, the newly
elected Vice-President becomes presi-
dent. If no such candidate for Vice
President receives majority of the
electoral votes, the Senate elects a
Vice president from the two candi-
dates having the largest number OF
electoral votes.

E. I. SPARKS PASSES AWAY.

Ephriam L. Sparks died at the

struction.

COURT HOLD FOR NAME ON ONE
TICKET.

In the coming election in Idaho the
name of each candidate will appear on
but one ticket, in compliance with a
decision handed down yesterday by
the state supreme court sustaining
the constitutionality of the law MAX
ing such provision.
The action in which the decision
was rendered was test case brought
by P. w. Mitchell of this city, and
argued before the supreme court on
Tuesday of last week. 1t grew out
of the selection of Mr.. Mitchell by
both the Progressive and Democratic
parties as their congressional candi-
date from the first district and the
selection of Senator VIM. E. Borah
by the Republican and Progressive
parties as their U. s. senatorial candi-
date.
This decision also affects several
county candidacys, where, in the pri-
maries one man had been nominated
for the same office by two parties.
This was condition here in Lewis
county, where I. j. Longeteig filed as
the Republican candidate for the Of
flee of county commissioner from the
second district, received also the ma
jority vote cast in the Democratic
primary for that office; no one having
been filed on the Democratic ticket.
R. A. Damrose, of Craigmont, was
given the next highest vote for this
office on the Democratic ticket and
his name will, therefore, appear under
that title on the general election bal
lot.

MOORE AND
SAMUELS SPEAK


This has been the most quiet cam
paign preceding a general election the
county seat Of Lewis county has
known. Or at least it was SO until
last night. Then came the awakening.
Governor @. c. Moore and Hon. Fl.
F. Samuels, the Republican and Pro
gressive candidates for the position
which the former now holds, were
billed to deliver addresses at the same
time in separate halls. Tt was early
evident that there would be a good
turnout to hear them, and an effort
was made to have both speak at the
same place, that all could hear both.
But this arrangement could not be
agreed upon. So Governor Moore
spoke in the High School auditorium
and Mr.. samuels in the Temple
Theatre, each having good audience,
but the Progressive candidate proving
the stronger drawing card and his
speech receiving the moro enthusiastic
applause.
The Governor was laboring with
bad cold and could not give his usual
force to his remarks, but the audience
received what he said with good at
tention and gave especial considera-
tion to his exposition of his steward
ship and the point he made Of reduc-
ing state taxes million dollars
He talked this morning also to the
school children in the High School
assembly room.
Mr.. Samuels entered at once into
his set speech after being introduced
by P. J. Hartnett, local Progressive
committeeman, and carried his crowd
very much with him to the end, re-
ceiving hearty applause at every eli
max. He explained the principles of
the Progressive doctrine, pointed out
the laxness of the old parties and
stated the proposed remedies of his
party He paid our fellow citizen
Perry w. Mitchell nice nibute and
urged his audience to give him every
support in his candidacy for congress.
Both speeches were marked for their
freedom from bitterness and disagree
able personalities.

BErrER HOGS, BETTER PRICES.

In the car load of hogs shipped by
the Nezperce Rochdale Co. last week
to the Seattle market were 40 head of
extra prime Poland-Chinas from the
herd of Dick johnson and 16 head of
like quality from Fred Riggers' Duroe
herd The load was Of even weight
and fine quality and topped the mar
ket at 1886, or about 40 cents above
the regular price. This could not have
happened If the load had been mixed
with large and small stuff, even
though they might have been in good
condition, and it is pointed out that
local feeders should work together in
shipping their oversize porkers in one
consignment and their choieer 200
pound pigs in another; keeping those
of like weight together.

THEIR BEAN CROP HARVESTED.

The. 950-acre bean crop raised by
the Turner Brothers on their big farm
southeast of town is now in the ware
house. The yield was 400 pounds to
the acre and the quality is good This
was about half a normal crop, but is
considered very good for the dryest
year this country ever experienced.
Offers of around cents a pound have
been made for the crop, but none
have been accepted.
AS stated before, these beans were
raised on land that would otherwise
have been summer fallowed this year,
producing nothing, and it is now prac-
tically ready for a wheat crop.

secretary treasurer, @. w. Kettman.
Mrs. Turner is sending for sample
copies of suitable cantatas to be rem
dered during the winter. When suit
able books have been found, regular
rehearsals will be announced. A sur
vey of the community has disclosed
the fact that forty or fifty singers

tablished an enviable reputation by
the part they have taken in college
and other choral societies. High-class
voices are available for solo parts.
Prof. Terry, superintendent Of
schools, is taking lively interest in
the new organization. He promises
the active cooperation Of the faculty
and students of the high school. The
combined force of the high school and
the community insures the success Of
the new undertaking.
The purpose of the choral society
is educational and social. 1t is not
designed to be highbrow society, but
is to include all who are interested
in singing, whether they have trained
voices are not. If this appeals to you,
your are urged to join as member.
Give your name to any one of the Of
ficers named above.

Mr.. and Mrs. p. W. Mitchell left the
first of the week on a campaign tour
of the district. Mr.. Mitchell recently
visited several points in the southern
part of the district and received very
much encouragement in his race TOT
congress. The people are feeling more
and more the need of an Idaho man
as their representative from this con,
gressional district, man daily IN
touch with idaho conditions, whose
Immediate interests are their inter
ests, and few men in the state under
stand it's conditions better nor have
its interests more at heart than Per
ry Mitchell. He has pretty well DEM
onstrated his ability to take care Oh
the needs of his constituency, too, by
his work in the idaho legislature. LII
there were more of him in the NATION
al legislature the farmers would NOT
plead in vain for recognition there.
The writer has been closely associated
with Perry Mitchell for the past NJ
teen years and honestly believes tnap
this district will have a real and cap
able nfriend at court" by making
him member of congress. And TINS
opinion is the general sentiment IN
his home county of Lewis and where
ever he is best known.
