Fisk, the well known Parma business man, was In the city Tuesday and Wednesday. Mr. Fisk has just announced that he will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for state treasurer. The formal announce ment of his candidacy was made at Parma yesterday. Mr. Fisk is one of the leading busi ness men and farmers of the Boise valley. His home is at Parma where he is interested in the banking, mer cantile and farming lines. He located at Parma 15 years ago and has since the first been prominently identified with the upbuilding of this section of the state. Mr. Fisk is a public spirited citizen and a staunch Republican. He is a man of great ability and force of character. The following statement, sketch of his activities and announcement of his candidacy, appeared in the Parma Re view of the 27th inst.: Fred E. Fisk, who in this issue of the Review announces his candidacy for the nomination for the office of state treasurer on the Republican ticket, is one of the strongest leaders in the' party in Idaho today. Known throughout the state by voters of all parties as a man of many financial in terests in which he has been uniform ly successful, he comes before the peo ple offering for the use of the state those qualities which have contributed to his own prosperity and which are necessary adjuncts to the mental equipment of one seeking to bring the office of state treasurer to its highest efficiency. Is Active Republican. Mr. *Fisk, who came to Idaho from Illinois 15 years ago, enters the po litical arena this fall not as an untried candidate, but as one who has served his party and 1 state continuously and with marked suocess. In directly Re publican party affairs he has been a moving factor. He has attended ev ery Republican state convention since his arrival in the state and was a dele gate to the Republican national con vention in 1912. As Canyon county representative on the state central Re publican committee he served for eight consecutive years. Handles Money Economically. Ln 1909 he received from Governor Brady, unsolicited, the appointment as commissioner from Idaho to the Alas ka-Yukon-Pacific exposition at Seattle His management of the duties of that position may be used as a reliable in dication of his fitness for the office of state treasurer. At the close of the exposition the commissioners turned approximately $800 back into the state's treasury, an almost unprece dented accomplishment for an expo sition commission. Holds Town and County Offices. In the conduct of county affairs Mr Fisk has always taken an active in terest, serving as chairman of the hoard of county commissioners during his tenure of office. He has given free ly of his time and business acumen in serving for many years on the Parma school board and the village board of trustees. Since the organization of the Parma State Bank in 1903 he has been vice president of the institution which is unexcelled in its class. Our candidate is a moving factor in the business, political and religious life of the state is of Parma, and on every question of public advancement and uplift he is found on the right side. Since coming to_ Idaho, Mr. Fisk has made his home in Parma and is bound to Idaho by every tie that the interests of children, brothers and sisters who make their homes here would naturally create. He is en couraged in his candidacy by large numbers of friends who feel that he is peculiarly qualified to efficiently and honorably discharge the duties of the office to which he aspires. By those who know him best, those in his home town and county, those who have followed his administration of the duties of offices he has held, and his career as a business factor in the state, he is considered the man made for the office. As a Republican of open mind and sound judgment he is broad and liberal enough to stand at all times for the interests of the party as a whole, and he counts among his supporters all factions of the Repub lican party of the state of Idaho to day. Mr. Fisk has issued the following announcement: Announces Candidacy. 1 desireto announce to the people of the state of Idaho that 1 have de cided to become a candidate for the office of state treasurer on the Repub lican ticket, subject to the will of the Republican voters in the primary. I have been a resident of Canyon county ever since coming to the state about fifteen years ago and have held various offices in my own county as well as representing Canyon county on the Republican state central com mittee for a number of years in the past. In asking for your support I am not unmindful of the importance and re sponsibility of the office of state treasurer. I feel that my years of experience in business have fitted me, if nominated and elected, to fill this office with honor to myself and credit to the state of Idaho. I have received much encourage ment from all sections of the state to become a candidate for this office and if nominated and elected, will faith fully and to the best of my ability, perform the duties of the high office to which I aspire. FRED E. FISK. It will be my only ambition to serve the people of the state in such a man ner that I shall be an honor to the office of state treasurer. FRED E. FISK. W. Y. MASON PASSES AWAY AFTER A LONG SICKNESS Blight's Diseadse Finally Causes the Death of Aged Resident. W. Y. Mason, for 10 years a resident of Caldwell, passed away Tuesday af ternoon at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank C. Hagerman, on Blaine street. Mr. Mason had three weeks ago been brought home from a hospi tal in Baker, Ore., where he had been cared for the past 15 weeks. Bright's disease and enlargement of the spleen caused his death. Nine children are living and all of these except a son now in the Phil ippines were present at the funeral an Thursday afternoon. Services were held at the Hagerman home.

Previous to moving to Idaho Mr. Mason had lived for 20 years in Indian territory. He was a native of Ken tucky and had also lived in Kansas. INSURE. If I had my way, I would write the word "insure" over the door of every cottage and upon the blotting book of every public man, because I am convinced that for sacrifices which are inconceivably small, families can be secured against catastrophes which otherwise would smash them up forever. It is our duty to arrest the ghastly waste, not merely of hu man happiness, but of national health and strength, which follows when, through the death of the breadwinner, the frail boat in which the fortunes of the family are embarked, founders, and the women and children are left to struggle helplessly on the dark waters of a friendless world.—Win ston Churchill.

French was in the city for a while yesterday meeting old friends and get ting in touch with this section of the state.

I think the people generally concede that, with both senators and representatives from southern Idaho, the north is de serving of at least one representative at the coming election. "My trip here is rather brief but lat er on I hope to give more time to this section. 1 am now on my way from the Republican convention at Twin Falls. "Idaho is for Borah for president and may feel proud of having a man who is receiving the earnest considéra tion of all sections of the country for the presidency. Nor is Idaho so far away from the centers of population, as was Illinois 50 years ago, when we think of the means of communication and transportation we have today." Mr. French expressed himself as greatly pleased with the constant growth of Caldwell and the surround ing country. He reports the north as prosperous, but says the season is some three weeks late.

Fortunately in all of these recent cas es the disease has been of a mild form that has apparently been checked. With proper observance of quarantine regulations on the part of the owners of these herds, as well as of theii neighbors, the trouble should not spread. Hog cholera is carried by such agents as birds, especially magpies and birds of similar character, dogs, coy otes, horses, men, water streams, etc. Probably men themselves through their visits to infected hog pens, the exchange of livestock, borrowing of farming implements, etc., are m >re responsible than any other one agency for the spread of the disease. A .number of outbreaks of cholera have been traced to the more or lers common practice of allowing hogs !o eat the carcasses of other animals which have died from any cause. Such carcasses may not in themselves be injurious to hogs but when choice is in the neighborhood, even within several miles, they are likely to be come infected by the visits of dogs, coyotes or birds. Where suali a prac tice. which is Questionable at besi, if followed, the remains of carcasses should be burned at once. Cholera is more easily prevented than cured, although prevention is sometimes impossible with any ordin ary means. Keeping up the vitality of hogs by ridding them of worms and lice, and b" proper feeding and care makes them more resistant to disease but not necessarily immune from it and if a virulent infection gets into a herd the only known means of checking it is the prompt use of anti hog-cholera serum, and unless this is used in time and liberally it may not be effective. Some hogs die every year from -auses other than cholera. During 1915 out of 136 herds inspected where hogs had died or were sick, only 40 cases of cholera were found. There s no other common contageous dis ease in the Boise valley, however, and every suspicious case should be re garded as a possible case of cholera and diagnosed as soon as possible. A positive diagnosis of cholera can gen erally be made only by post-mortem examination which means that it may be necessary to kill an animal for this purpose unless one has recently died. Even post-mortem examinations will not always show whether or not cho lera is present, but it is always best to make such examinations in order to "dHftfef. the presence of the disease at the earlist possible moment. Through reluctance to sacrifice a sick pig worth less than nothing, some men will run the risk of losing a large part of their herds, cases of the kind having occurred in the Boise valley. Quarantine is a necessary part of hog-cholera control and should al ways be enforced unless voluntarity observed. In the past, men have at tempted to avoid quarantine by con cealing the fact that cholera was pres ent on their farms, but while a few short-sighted persons still display this tendency, the practice is becoming less and less noticeable. The utmost effort that can be made to prevent a general outbreak of cho lera this year may not be sufficient to accomplish that result; and without any effort in that direction no out break may occur, but in view of the historv of the disease, as long as cho lera exists in the Boise Valley the effort is eminentlv worth while.
