with, and if such was the case, he
did not want the bonds. Messrs.
Lack & Schmltz have on deposit
with the council certified check for
$4,000, which they will forfeit if the
bonds are declared by the court to be
legal, and they do not take them.
1t is to be hoped that the bonds
will be found to be alright, as the
citizens of Weiser are extremely de-
sirous of seeing the much needed i'm
provements of water and light in
stalled as the city certainly is in
need of them.

F. S. Lack, representing the firm

successful ,Lidders for the water
bonds, appeared before the city
conncil at their adjourned meeting
Monday evening, and claimed that
the notice of election had not been
published the time required by law
which would destroy the validity OF
the bonds. After considerable dis
cussion, it was decided to bring the
matter before the district court now
in session, and make a test case of
it. Mr.. Lack expressed himself as
being anxious to take the bond issue,
but wanted to know they were al
right before doing SO. He had been
advised by his attorneys that the law

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.
Found Satisfactory Where Trieds

At the last session of the Mime
sofa legislature law was enacted
to cut out caucus and primary politl-
cal machinery and give all candidates
an equal chance to submit their
ambition to the will of the voter.
I The law provides for direct prim-
ary, and it was tested for the first
time last week. Judging from the
comment of the press it proved fairly
satisfactory, and it may be regarded
as step IN the progress toward re-
form in political methods. The law
does away with all the preliminary
machinery that is not used 30 effec-
lively by the politicians. The name o1
any man may, upon petition, be pu
among the list Of candidates who arr
to be voted on at the primary. Whel
the ballot is made up, tits for tn
registered voters to determine VIII
their candidate shall be. Those re
ceiving the pluralities become tn
party nominees at the subsequen
election.
Every voter thus has as much ots
part in saying who shall be candi
dates as he has at election time il
saying who shall 60 into office. Fl

fall is heavy This will more than
supply the loss from evaporation and
seepage after reservoir is filed. The
reservoir will be located at an eleva-
ton of between 1000 and 5000 feet.
The conditions are extremely favor
able for the construction of the dam.
The bedrock in the creek is from
three to four feet. Timber and rock
are close at hand. The bed rock
formation is we'll adapted to holding

for the dam is desirable one, being
located In a narrow canyon, pro-
tected by the hills and timber from

The Irrigation company is to be
congratulated on having found 30
desirable location, and the prompt
and energetic manner in which En-
, gineer Utter has did his part Of the

K. P. Cowen returned last week
from his third trip to the famous
Willow Greek country over in 0regon,
of which 80 much has been said
lately.
He said he has been rapidly con-
yerted to the belief that great camp
was to be opened out there, tn ough
the slight development work done
would not justify anyone in passing
definite judgment on the matter.
The Willow Creek camp is located
80 miles from Huntington and 40
miles from Ontario and about 80
miles from Weiser, on a canyon six
miles from the head Of Willow creek,
at an altitude of about 1000 feet.
The country, while billy, is moi
mountainous and the roads are good.
Willow is tributary Of the Malheul
and has a rich valley about 26 miles
long, though not very wide, that II
occupied by wealthy ranchmen, who
have highly cultivated farms.
Mr.. Cowen said the country rock
is slate and porphyry with sandstone
in places. The country is crossed
with diorite ledges which are mineral
ized. The veins are all contact, n

discovered.
The country was once covered with
lava, which has nearly all erroded
away. A gray silica rock found in
veins about two feet wide in the dior
ite ledges is what carries the remark
able values, running from $1,000 to
$4,000 per ton. The rock, said Mr.
Cowen is not eruptive, but seems to
have been a sedimentary deposit. 1t
is unlike anything else found in the
west and is puzzle to practical
prospectors. The black slate con-
facts carry good values, and fair
values are found in the diorite. The
porphyry, which seems to be asort of
overflow. does not appear to carry
any values to speak Of.
Most of the people IN the NED

If this system we're generally adopt
