The Week's Announcements
The Second District is not apparently
to suffer from any lack of candidates for
the Commissionerehip. Three good
men, tried and true, were already in the
field and in this issue will to fonnd an
other possessing like qualifications, in
the person of A. L. Knight. Mr. Knight
hails from Homedale, where the citizens
think so much of him that he is their
unanimous choice for the responsible
position to which he aspires. Mr.
Knight is a reliable, dependable business
man end a Democrat. He is prominent
in school matters there, being clerk of
the Board of School Trustees.
A triangular Republican scrap at the
primaries is now assured in connection
with the office of Assessor. Our an
nouncement column toiiay contains the
name of Fay O. Mitchell of Wilson as a
candidate for that office and he, like
the two previously announced, will run
on the Republican ticket. Mr. Mitchell
is a prominent stockman and farmer,
and is well known and highly respected
by those who know him tost. He was
at one time Deputy Slate Sheep Inspec
tor for Owyhee County.
As we go to press comes the announce
ment that Ernest Bedford will also make
the race at the primaries for Commis
sioner from the Second District on the
Democratic ticket. Mr. Bedford is a
well-known property holder under the
Gem Irrigation District. He is one
of a large family all of whom possess
homesteads in that section, The writer
has known the gentleman for years and
can vouch for his ability and integrity.
Likewise at the last moment we are
advised that Kenneth MeKenzie of Mor
gan has entered this particular race and
the Second District w ill have yet an
other candidate at the Democratic pri
maries in the gentleman named. Ken
neth McKenzie needs no introduction
to the people of this section. lie and
his brother, Finley, are well known
stock men and ranchers of varied and
extensive interests. Kenneth would
make a good commissioner.
The expected announcement of James
R. Keith for State Senator arrived and
appears for the first time. Mr. Keith
registers from Rockville Precinct and he
and his brother John are the big noiscB
in that section of Owvhee, where there
are none totter known and none more
highly respected. He is a Republican
and if he and Dow sciap it out in No
vember, Owyhee will to well represented
in any event.
Investigate Assessor's Office
John D. Robertson of Weiser arrived
in Silver on Monday. He is a member
of the tax commission and is making a
round of the various counties to see that
the assessors are doing their work right.
Mr. Townsend is out of town on an as
sessing trip and Mrs. Weston did the
honors in his stead. As tiie assessor is
expected back to-day Mr. Robert
sou will probably have an opportunity
of seeing him before lie leaves.
Griffin a Lucky Bov
Word comes from Madeira, Cal., that
Mies Bessie Euierich tias found her ideal
in tiie person of Wm. A. Griffin, a prom
inent real estate man and big rancher
in California. The wedding, it is under
stood, will take place shortly, and Mr.
Gritfin expects to build a home in Ma
deira. The couple will spend some time
each year on a big home ranch on the
Fresno River. Nugget congratulates.
Got a. Jail Sentence
The trial of Gus Boehlke on a charge
of stealing from Virgil Richardson took
place on Tuesday before Judge Heer,
After hearing the testimony, the judge
reserved decision until Wednesday
morning, when the accused was found
guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of $20
aud costs. The latter amounted to
$104.00. The accused will probably
serve out the time in jaii, which will
give him 52 days' support at the expense
of tiie County.
Walked from Moscow
Mrs. Weston received word from her
son, Clifford, that he had reached Boise
in his hike from Moscow to Silver City,
He arrived in the Capital City on the
tenth day out and wasn't too tired to
attend a dance there last night. He is
expected in Silver City to-morrow.
Irrigatloniats Here
H. C. Page and B. F. Griffith of Boise
were in Silver on Saturday and Sunday
for the purpose of looking up certain
records and other matters. Mr. Page is
well known in connection with irrigation
matters around the section that is now
known as the Gem Irrigation District.
In fact he came within an ace of being
the whole works in irrigation matters in
that part of Owyhee County. Mr. Page
succeded Mr. 8chenck in the possession
of certain water rights and is now work
ing to put in the neighborhood of forty
thousand acres of choice land south of
Homedale under water. He has formed
a company called the Independent Irri
gation Company and the lands affected
lie in both Idaho and Oregon.
Mr. Griffith, who accompanied Mr.
Page, is an attorney and came with Mr.
Page in.liis professional capacity.
Not Guilty
The Postmaster at Silver City is a
gentleman of high intelligence and a
nice discrimination. Pbrenologically
speaking, his hump of veneration and
respect for the editor hereof is extreme
ly well developed. We thought it per
fectly right and proper that letters ad
dressed to "The Mayor of Silver City,''
or the "President of the Silver City
Commercial Club" should to placed in
our box. We did not object when a
letter addressed to "The leading News
paper in Owyhee County" arrived, nor
at being obliged to answer ,a missive
sent to "your moat public spirited
citizen," but for the first time in our
modest career we are now - accused of
beiDg a Baptist preacher, and were com
pelled to answer a letter kddreesed to
"Pastor or Clerk, Baptist church, Silver
City, Idaho,

teemed postmaster accused us of being
the pastor of any other denomination.
Cheerfully could we affiliate in spirit
with a Mahommedan, a Free-love Meth

The stationery printed in The Nugget
offiice always gives the tost of satisfac
tion. East week we printed a job of one
hundred statements for a man and by
their aid he collected a small fortune.
Two months ago a man bought of us
some note pager and envelodes and now
he is married,
stole some of our paper to make cigarettes
and now he is dead. A young lady got
some of our paper to curl her hair on
and now she has a beau. (We have
only a few packages of this kind in stock.)
By using our stationery every person
can collect old accounts, tell fortunes,
make rain, change the color of the hair,
extract teeth without pain ; if you are
married, keep tab on your husband,
find out if he is really detained from
home on business; if you are unmarried,
find out the name of your future hus
band or wife, to successful in business,
be elected to office. Give us a call.

Owyhee county is to uominate some
of its candidates on a platform that
wants or don't want saloons in her con
fines. One saloon in the nearest Can
yon section in Owyhee county has been
running at a loBB for Borne time basing
its life on the asumption that business
will to good when the irrigation canal
work starts a little later. It is proposed
to use no drunkards on the canal work
at all, and this will have to to figured
on by the whiskey dispensers in our
sister county. The saloon people in
Owyhee county have secured many
sworn statements from young men
under age, perjuring themselves into
the statement that they are of age.
The county commissioners will be asked
to run out an out-and-out wet or dry
platform and the test based on this vote.
