ift Cdètpcll Hoîmite VOL. 30, NO 21 CALDWELL, IDAHO, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1910. WEEKLY, $2.00 PER YEAR SOGIALSTS WIN IN SUPREME COURT supreme coubt commands sec betaby of state lansdon to cebtify nominees. Secretary Mist Send to County Audi tors (or Official Ballots Forthwith, Says Court of Last Appeal—Social ists Win Complete Victory. The supreme court, Tuesday, issued preemptory writ of mandate directed to Secretary of State Robert Lans don, orderin« htm to forthwith certify the name of Charles B. Pendleton sa nominee for the office of inspector of mines on the Socialist ticket, as speci fied in the certificate of nomination filed in his office, down to the county auditor of each county In the state, so that Pendleton's name may he placed upon the official ballot and voted for ne the Socialist nominee for the office of Inspector of mines at the next gen eral election. The writ was elgned by Chief Jus tice Isaac N. Sullivan and O. W. Hart, clerk of the supreme court. Prior to the issuance of the writ, Attorney General McDougal filed and presented to the court the following statement in the matter of Charles B. Pendleton, plaintiff, against Secretary of State Laoadon, defendant, In which Pendleton prayed that preemptory writ issue commanding Lansdon to certify him as Socialist nominee for state mine Inspector: "Since the argument of this cause, I have gone more fully into the ques tion presented and carefully examined the authorities. I conceive the law to be that when a certificate of nomi nation haa been filed with the secre tary of state, which in all respects is regular on its face, that the secretary has no right to refuse to certify the same. In the absence of a bona fide contest, by one who shows beneficial interest therein." After citing numerous authorities. Including the case of Fuller against Corey, lately decided by the Idaho su. preme court. Attorney General Mo Dougal concludes: "I am of the opin ion that the demurrer In this case should be over-ruled and the writ is sued." The court thereupon ordered that defendant's demurrer to plaintiff's ap plication for writ of mandate be over ruled and that premptory writ of man date issue. The premptory writ Issued by the court, through Chief Justice Sullivan, is as follows: Writ Is Ciuul "Whereas It manifestly appears to ui by the affidavit of Charles B. Pendleton, plaintiff and party benefic ially Interested herein, that the name of said petitioner appears upon the Socialist ticket as nominee for the of fice of inspector of mines of the state of Idaho, and that said ticket was filed In your office September 30, 1910, and that you have refused and do now re fuse to certify to the county auditors of the several counties the name of said petitioner as said nominee for the office of inspector of mines on the So cialist ticket, to be placed and printed upon the official ballot and voted for at the next general election to be held November 8, 1910, and that there is Q ot a plain, speedy and adéquats rem ®dy In the ordinary course of the law. "Therefore we do command you that Immediately after receiving this writ you do forthwith certify the name of Oharies B. Pendleton as nominee for the office of Inspector of mines In the (täte of Idaho, on the Socialist tick st. as specified In the certificate of nomination filed in your office, to the county auditor of each couuty within the state, so that the petitioner's name may be placed upon the official ballot «»«I voted for as the Socialist uomluee for the office of Inspector of mines at the next general election." tkain drinking cups must 00 Tke state board of health have or dered all public drinking cups remov ed from public fountains and railroad cars and in the future you should car r > your own cup If you wish to drink while traveling.

STBIKE AT BANNEB MINE. Another rich strike has been made on this property within the past week. This time the miners struck the ledge in the 200 and it proves to be the same as that struck in the 100 and fully as rich »'s that encountered In the work ings fbove. The outlook of this prop erty is now more encouraging than ever and the signs point to its being the best property in the camp. There Is an old saying that "gold is where you find it," and it is with great pride that we make such favorable reports on this property when taken Into con sideration the time and money spent in opening up and developing this mine and then to be able to report that they have finally struck It rloh. If there 3ver was a company which has spent its money legitimately, honestly and economically, it surely has been the •Banner Mining & Milling company, and we are only too glad to note that the day is not very far distant when this company's holdings will be added to Owyhee's list of producers.—Silver City Nugget.

Mr. Moss wat graduated last year and now holds tho rank of lieutenant and Is serving in the Philippines.—Payette Independent. UTAH AGAINST COMMISSION. The following resolution was passed by the Utah Press association, at Tre monton, Utah, September 13, 1910. Be it resolved by the Utah Press as sociation : That whereas, the prosperity of the state means the prosperity of the rail roads serving the state and, whereas, this association feels and believes that the managing officers of Utah railroads have conducted their business and out lined their policy in recognition of that principle, and Whereas, what Utah needs Is further railroad development in order that she herself may expand and develop, and Whereas, this association desires to endorse the policy of the present rail road management and to encourage ra ther thax to retard railroad building. What we want is more railroads In Utah. Now therefore, be It Resolved, that we, the Utah Press association, are opposed to the crea tion of a railroad commission for this state, regarding It not only as wholly unnecessary from a business point of view but also dangerous because of the probability that It will become a polit ical machine capable of great and un reasonable oppression In the hands of designing or unscrupulous politicians and be it further resolved, that the nearness together of the sessions of the legislature, whereby such changes, modifications or enlargements of ex isting statutes as may be neoeasary can be had with the Intervention of dele gated authority, together with the great number of commissions which the state already has, make such crea tion not only uncalled for but possibly oppressive, and we regard It as the part of witdom and Justice to unite In opposition thereto, which we hereby agree mutually to do. was it worth the money! The recent primary election held In Lincoln county, Idaho, coat the tax payers of the county over $4,000.00 and the question Is frequently asked: "Was the primary really worth the money ?" Thore were 4300 votes cast In the primary election, nearly one-fourth the total being cast In Gooding precinct alone. The total election cost of Good ing precinct was about $600. The primary lsw is an expensive lux ury to the people, being a burden to the tax payer.—Gooding Leader. REPUBLIC BORN IN PORTUGAL CARDINAL NETO AND BISHOl OF BEJA ARE BANISHED BY THE REPUBLICANS.

THE GREAT BUNKER HILL. The great Bunker Hill & Sulllvar mine at Wardner continues with ltf record as the premier silver-lead pro during mine In the world.

The assessed valuation of School District No. 33. of Lincoln county (Jerome) for the year 1910, Is $807 443. One year ago the assessed valua tlon was $260.000, and two years ago It waa nothing. When the assessment of 1908 was made, the district was pub lic land and its popuatlon clnslsted of Jack rabbits. Neither the domain or the rabbits are assessable and hence the district contlned no taxable property two years ago.

STATE OFFICIALS PRAISE THE FAIR ATTOKNEY GENEBAL McDOUGAL HIGHLY PLEAMED W ITH CANYON COUNTY PAIR. Idaho Corn a Revelation and Livestock Best Kx r Seen lu Idaho—Exhibition Great in Every Feature, Being Par Above Expectations. The Canyon County fair comprised one of the most wonderful collections of fine exhibits of stock, fruit and agricultural products of all kinds ever hown in the west, according to At torney General D. C. McDougal and Assistant Attorney General O. M. Van I)uyn, who returned to Boise Satur lay after having spent Friday in in pecting the fair. "I hope that Canyon county will «ring her exhibits to the Intermountain fair," said Attorney General McDou gal, "because they will greatly streng hen Holse's big show. I have been to i good many fairs, state and county, oth east and west, but never have 1 ieen a finer lot of exhibits, taken by nd large, than Canyon county had. The stock exhibit was magnificent, and he cattle, horses and hogs showed well n every strain and breed. The stand ards are very high and I was amazed it the kind of animals Idaho farmers are producing. It Is enough to make in Idaho man proud he Is a citizen of this state. "As for the fruits, including apples, pears, peaches and plums, I want to ?ay that I never saw any larger or finer flavored or more beautiful speci mens in my life. "But the greatest surprise of all was the corn. I refused at first to believe that corn had been grown in Idaho. I I.retty nearly got into a fist fight with i big brawny farmer when I laughingly charged that the corn had been raised n Iowa and shipped here by express for show purposes. "Say! That big farmer turned on me and he Baid: 'Look here, mister, maybe you are a tenderfoot, but Just to show you we are on the square out here, I'll take you down to my farm and show you corn Just as high and just as fine looking and with just as big ears on It as this corn In my ex hibit.' "Well, after I had roamed around through the exhibits and had seen lots of corn of that kind, I became con vinced that Idaho 'has a great future as a corn state, and I realized that the farmers in other parts of Idaho had been neglecting a fine crop in passing up corn. "Corn means fat hogs and hogs mean money. I think it Is wonderful that such corn can be raised in Idaho, considering the long, cold spring and fhort season that we have had." General McDougal laughed heartily In telling a story about John Nicholas. old friend of his, who owns ranch down Caldwell way now, but who used to live near Malad. It seemF that Nicholas Just about cleaned the fair in several classes, winning first prizes and sweepstakes galore, hip yearlings and two-year-old Belgians, Jersey bulls and vegetables taking blue ribbons. His sister, Mrs. Metcalfe, made almost as many winnings with lier fine Jams and Jellies and she beat the whole show on honey. When General McDougal saw Mr. Nicholas, his old Malad friend was so swelled up over his triumphs at the fair that he didn't know Daniel C. but the attorney finally got the farmer to come down to earth. Then It devel oped that the prize Belgians, which had swept the horse exhibit, had descend ed from an Indian cayuse and a cow iiony. This proves the effect of blut '>lood on a low strain. According to General McDougal when Nicholas lived at Malad. he own id a cayuse and a cow pony, and Fred erlckson's fine Belgian, the first thor oughbred brought Into that country, years ago. Generation after genera tion of high class breeding has raised the standard notch by notch, until to lay the descendants of that Indian cay use and cow pony wouldn't recognize their poor ancestors. General Mc Dougal says that It would be hard to find any finer looking Belgians In the west. DISTRICT COURT AT CALDWELL. District court opened Monday morning. The following are the jurors: D. B. Coats, J. K. Howard, James Lauer, John Cooper, L. P. Orell, James Barnard, C. S. Fulton, P. E. Selkett, Robert Kennedy, Wil liam Oes, Isaac Neal, Chris Hendrlx, B. W. Rice, B. W. Swatman, J. E.

WILL NOT SUPPORT BADLEY. W. H. Taylor, Democratic nominee for state senator from Boise county, spent the past two or three weeks at his ranch near Payette, but will re turn to h s home in Long Valley Mon day and begin his campaign for elec tion. Although admitting that Boise coun ty is a close county politically, Mr. Taylor expresses confidence in his elect on together with a majority ef the Democratic ticket, both county and state. "It looks to me like the Democrats would sweep the state," declared Mr. Taylor today. "I never saw in my life so many Republicans who make pub lic declaration of their determination to vote for Mr. Hawley for governor and to refuse to vote the Republican t cket. In fact, party lines have be come entirely obliterated, so far as the Republicans are concerned and the members of that party are going to vote for a change in the administra tion of affairs. "They not only intend to vote for Mr. Hawley, but they intend to vote the entire Democratic ticket except as to Mr. Badley for secretary of state. I find that many of them will not sup port him. "Mr. Badley may be elected, but if so, I'll declare I don't know where his votes are coming from when most of the Republicans are going to vote the Democratic ticket and all of the Dem ocrats also. There is no disaffect'on among the Democrats at all, except now and then some man has a per sonal grievance against a candidate, but this is no more than is always the case."—Capital News. HAYES-HOLYERSON PARTY. Word was received the first of the week from the Hayea-Holverson hunt ing party, which has spent the past two months in Chamberlain Basin, en joying a general outing, stating that the party would be home sometime the coming week. They report much suc cess In bagging game, ten deer, two elk, and two bear being the total ot big game killed by them. One of the elk, which was brought down by Elmer Holver&on, is said to be the largest ev er killed In that section. The party is composed of E. K. Hayes and daughter, Erma, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Holverson and George Demasters. They all re port having had a most excellent time while In the Basin.—Emmett Examiner. JOHNSON MAKES RECORD. When Walter Johnson, the star pitcher of the local team, fanned 10 of the White Sox players In Chicago recently he established a world's strike out record for a season. Johnson's total after the recent game was 307 for tho year. The former record was 301. made by "Rubs" Waddell in 1903. This Is not the only pitching record Johnson has established. He holds one other which, perhaps will never be equaled In a major league—that of shutting a team out without a run three con secutlve games. This Johnsun ac compllshed in the fall of 1908 in New York, when he pitched three consecutive days against the High landers and did not allow them i run. The feat was a most remark able one and will probably stand uu equaled for a long time to come Johnson has been a sensation ever since he broke into the American league, but there are reasons for be lieving that he Is Just now rounding Into his very best form. He has pitched much better ball this season than ever before, and his work seems to be improving. He should be the sensation of next season If he continues to improve. THE REPUBLICANS ARE SURE WINNERS REPUBLICAN STATE COMMIT TEE IS HOPEFUL OF VIC TORY THIS FALL. The Brady Administration Has Saved the State Thousands of Dollars— The Democrats Are Trying to Dodge the Real Issues Boise, October 13, 1910. An optimistic air prevades Republi can State Headquarters today. Re lentless activity seems to prevail in all departments and it is learned that It Is to be Inferred from reports com ing in from all parts of the state that the outlook is decidedly favorable for Governor Brady and the entire state ticket. The ablest Republican orators in the state are in the field. Harmon ious conditions exist throughout the state among Republicans. The temper ance question and the Republican party's unquestionable attitude towards it is causing a great exodus from the Democratic ranks and all signs when considered, collectively, point to a great Republican victory. The concerted action upon the part of Mr. Hawley and his advisers to con centrate their attacks upon the admin istration of the State Land officers availing nothing, since all charges up on this line are being so effectively re futed that no credence is to be attach ed to them. A full realization exists that they are given publicity for the specific purpose of excluding issues, not to the advantage of Mr. Hawley and his party to discuss. If general comment by the business men of Boise, regardless of their po litical afflllatton, can be relied upon, Governor Brady will receive the almost unanimous support of the business In terests of the state, because of the rea son that careful Investigation reveals that every department of the state gov ernment Is In a healthy condition In dicating that Governor Brady's admin istration has been, in the best sense of the term, a thorough business admin istration, and that, as a consequence. It would be Illogical to "Swap Hosses in crossing a Stream," and perhaps, as a result, arrest the progress of the state. That there is absolutely nothing In the charges made by Mr. Hawley upon the administration of the State Land Board calculated to reflect upon Gov. Brady or the Republican party is evi denced by Governor Brady's position and the records of the state govern ment which are to be regarded as an open book subject to the inspection of all. There Is no effort on the part of Governor Brady to meet charges against his administration with any measure of reservation, concealment or evasion. To the contrary, as might have been expected of an official, he has ever been guided by the recogni tion of the principle that "a public of fice Is a public trust," he has courted for his record the closest Investigation. The effort of Mr. Hawley to mislead and cause the real issues of the cam paign to be lost sight of by charges against the administration of the State Land office has failed to assume the proportions and potency that its orig inator had intended they should. Con siderable of the enthusiasm of those who sought to make these charges so prominent was observed to have spent its force when due attention was call ed to the fact that Governor Brady in the very inception of his administra tion had recommended the creation of a Carey Act commission to lessen the already over-burdened work of the State Land Board and expedite the bus iness of the state; and that through fear of giving the Republican party increased power by the patronage thus created, the Democratic leaders of tha state, through the Democrats In the senate, defeated the governor's recom mendation. Thus did just retribution follow, and the responsibility shift It self to the Democratic party, its right source. Another matter upon which the Dem ocrats base great hope, and which they evidently early In the campaign thought sufficiently potent to absorb public attention, and thereby serve their purpose, suddenly to their dis comfort lost Its purported significance. This was the charge relative to tho Irregularities of one or two employees In the State Land office. This was not evaded In the least, bat was met with "3 (Continued on page i)
