OUT FOR OFFICE.

Saturday is the last day for candi-
dates to get their hats in the ring by
the filing route, and this fact has en-
gendered little activity along this
line during the past few days. How
ever, up to this morning only three,
aside from the present incumbants of
the Lewis county offices, had so sig
nified their willingness to enter the
lists. These are: Bert w. Tefft, of
the Winchester section, who aspires to
nomination. on the Democratic ticket
as a candidate for the office of county
commissioner from the third district;
VIM. G. Duncan, of Craigmont, who
would be the Democratic candidate
for sheriff, and George F. Reinhardt,
of near Nezperce, who would be the
Democratic nominee for county com
missioner from the first district.
The present county officials who
have filed for the nomination on the
as candidates for reelec-
ton are: Mrs. Edna L. Eckersley,
treasurer; Miss Lila M. Harbke, sup
of schools; H. W. Niles,
probate judge; f. H. Ratliff, assessor;
A. w. Mitchell, sheriff; G. G. Pennell,
attorney; and on the Re-
publican ticket: I. J. Longeteig, com
missioner second district; M. L. JAR
nagin, commissioner third district;
VIM. Ruble, commissioner first district.
Further filings for the county places
are still looked for, as several names
are being mentioned, but these are
evidently not stepping into the spot
light until the last day for filing
Saturday.

OLD FIRE BELL RE-INsTALLED.

/ Having passed through many long
years of service and itself experienc-
ing real fire the old bell, which has
been a landmark of this city, could
no longer stand the strain and became
cracked like our historic Liberty Bell.
BEING out of commission the bell was
shelved during. the winter months and
replaced by two new fire sirens
modern inventions for waking the
populace from deep slumber and call
ing it to suppress the fire hazard.
Both these sirens proved incapable
of handling the situation, for their
blasts were not loud enough for the
occasion. So, as last resort, the old
bell was removed from the cobwebs
and after thorough investigation it
was decided that good job of weld
ing could heal the wound. According
ly it was sent to lewiston where the
repairs were made and now it is back
in Nezperce again waiting to be in
stalled in new moorings.
A wind mill tower has been pro-
cured and upon this the bell will be
placed. The tower will stand in the
vacant lot just across from the
American Legion hall, and here the
future will find it ready to serve in
its old capacity as the city fire alarm
For an indefinite period the bell will
be sounded at the noon hour each day,
so do not get excited if you hear it
as you leave the store. The purpose of
this is to thoroughly test the quality
of the bell and insure its capability of
standing the strain.

oHAurAuouA CLOSED STRONG

With an opening program on June
% that left good taste in every
body's mouth, the Ellison White Chau-
tauqua held in our city this season
closed Friday with the same effect.
The Australian Trio-Alan Murray,
Edwin Hames and Dolly Stewart
gave pleasing program Thursday af-
ternoon, and following their prelude in
the evening, DR.. E. T. Hagerman held
the large crowd at good attention with
his lecture, sfThe Man With One Win
dow" AS intended, the lecture was
broadening in its effect, and lecture
and lecturer were liked here; and the
spirit of the audience was not dimin-
ished though dampened by the copious
rain which accompanied it.
The Circus and parade, with Hughie
Fitzpatrick in his clown entertainment,
carried the children off their feet and
made Friday afternoon one long to be
pleasantly remembered by the local
youth especially, with the grown-ups
in their usual circus attitude. They
told us Mcdonald Birch with his "Ar-
tistic Magicv would make the closing
session real "joy night" He did not
disappoint us. Many voted his the
most pleasing entertainment of the SER
les.
AS shown in Treasurer Schnell's re-
port, the 1924 Chautauqua went over
nicely financially. President Emerson
of the local committee announced that
so signers had been secured on the
contract which insures the return of
the Chautauqua next year.

CONVENTION IN DEADLOCK

AS The Herald goes to press, the
available news of the Democratic Ma
tional convention, which opened its de-
liberations at Madison Square Garden
in New York City on Tuesday of last
week, shows continuation of the
deadlock which started with the bal
loting ON a presidential candidate. Mr..
McAdoo has held the lead with from
400 to 500 votes, but the seers consid-
er his nomination unlikely. To date
no break in the voting line has been Of
sufficient consequence to indicate just
whom of the fifteen candidates put in
nomination the lightning will strike.
After another weary day of ballot
ing, trading and maneuvering among
the delegates, the convention ad-
iourned last night following the 42nd
ballot, which gave McAdoo SOB, Smith
31s, Davis AZ, and the balance scat
tered among the favorite sons.

FARMERS. PARADISE
Prominent Grain Men visit Our Do
main and Praise 1t, After Tour
of Other Sections.

Messers. Wallace and Kemper, rep
resentatives of the Bunge Weston
Grain Co. of Spokane, and veterans
in the grain business, made tour OF
the Camas and Nczperce prairies the
past week, and on Monday they, in
company with J. G. Wright, our local
veteran grain dealer, visited numerous
farms in the Nezperce section and
made closeup examination of the
crop prospects here.
''You certainly have a veritable
farmers paradise in these prairies
and the surrounding valley country, =
was the way the visitors summer up
their experience in taking leave of Mr.
Wright.
Before coming into the prairie coun
try, they had visited the Spokane grain
belt, the Palouse and Walla Walla and
Lewiston districts. They said the Big
Bend was almost total failure. Last
year the town of Harrington, VIM, for
instance, received million and
quarter bushels of grain and this year
there would be less than 250,000 bush
els delivered there Conditions were
no better in most of the balance of the
other sections visited, except east of
Walla Walla and portions of the Pa
louise country.
1t is not intended to imply in the
foregoing that there will be whale
of crop on these prairies this season.
Most estimates put it at about one-half
the average. Mr.. Wright roughly puts
the average grain delivery at Nezperce
at about 100000 bushels. This year he
looks for half that amount.
Idaho has made an average wheat
yield of 81 bushels to the acre. This
year the prospect is for IL to IA bu-
'hels. However, there has been much |
Improvement in the outlook during the
,ast three weeks.
1t is noted that smut is more or less
PREVALENT in the crops inspected in this
yicinity, but in lesser degree than last
eason.
