to be located at Moscow, have met with
an Unexpected obstacle. 1t has been
discovered that the application for an
order to vote on the proposition at the
coming general election in Novem Der
must be accompanied by petition
signed by one third OF all the legal
voters in Latah county. This would
mean list OF about 1000. 1t also
means much hard work and consider
able expnese. The men back OF the
scheme have not yet decided what they
will do.
There Ia some doubt as to the ability

Lamb OF the Troy district is outspoken
in the belief that the proposition would
isil of the required percentage OF the
votes cast.
