nave done this and SO have you. And
you always want It. SO that you, can
get your abstract of title clear, and
all the papers for the land For If
Your title is not clear or your records
should be burned or destroyed then
you cannot make a loan. for no loan
company will loan you money unless
you have a clear title. AT present our
records are not immune from danger
lof fire. Our abstract books will not
show verbatim what the instruments
do. and as we all need to borrow
money at some time, we must see to
it that we have protection for our rec
ords, for without clear title and a
clear record, we cannot borrow
money! ,.-.,.ss,-s-....-
| W. S. Hill was the next called, but
| said: Il think. that. there have been
enough speakers from Twin Falls, so
| | would ask to be excused, and would
like to hear from the people of Bull. -
? The chairman, DR.. Albee, announced
that there were others yet to speak,
and called upon w. p Guthrie. who
said:
81 am glad to see so many of you
here, and am glad to know that you
have enough interest in the county of
Twin Falls to come out and listen to
what is said about the court house We
are not here asking you to build a
court house for Twin Falls, but we are
here asking you to help build court
house for Twin Falls county, and it
seems to me that every man should be
more interested in this proposition
I ~,

er whenever could get loan, but l
have not always been able to borrow.
think we should have the court house
so that our papers may be protected
If you build this court house, you
will have a monument that you will
be proud of, and you people of Bull
will then point with pride to the build
ing and you will feel absolutely safe
as to your records. The keeping of
these records is a serious thing. If
you do not have a clear title you are
always in trouble, and no man will
purchase property at any price if he
cannot get clear title. No company
will advance you money on a title that
is not clear | am sure that the most
of you see the absolute necessity for
the protection of the records, and /
am sure after you have considered the
matter carefully, unbiasedly, and with
out prejudice, your ballot will be in
favor of the court house for Twin
Falls county, (Applause) M
Mr.. Theo. T. Davis of Bull, next ad-
dressed the assemblage, saving: 1--WE
have with us the members from Twin
Falls as guests of Bull and the West
End tract, but | do not feel that it
is anything but common courtesy to
reply to some of their remarks. If
any of the citizens of Bull wished to
build fire proof building next to
mine, should offer no objections, and
| should heartily acquiesce in the ex-
penditure of money, and if | lived in a
district where they erected substantial
schools, or court house in which |
am a part owner, | would feel that
they had confidence in that district,
and it impresses me that the building of
court house is very necessary"
Mr. e. r. Sherman of Bull, said: 81
have to say in regard to this PROPOSE
ton that If could borrow $4,000 to
build home in Buhl, and the interest
would not exceed the rent | would
have to pay, would borrow the mon
ey and build the home, for | could
make the property more valuable each
year, and as the rent costs us more
than the interest on the bonds, think
that the best proposition is to have a
new court house."
Mr.. M. J. Sweeley was called, and
said: y ~ ,e +. ....-..,
81 hardly know what to say or where
to begin. My experience since l struck |
this town, in inquiring around among |
+, T.
with them, is that every one is in favor |
of court house, and with that situa-
ton confronting me, very much fear |
that If l should make a speech, we
might lose some of the people we al |
ready have. AS l said awhile ago, we
did not come here for the purpose of |
a controversy with the people of Bull |
We came partly. by arrangement and |
partly by invitation, to visit and mingle
with them, to talk over matter that |
does not concern Twin Falls alone, but |
everybody in Twin Falls county This
thought has been running through my
mind all the time since we began agi-
tating the matter of issuing bonds to
build court house: If this was
matter that could be avoided entirely, |
II we could get along without court I
house, l would say wait But 1t is
just as sure as anything can be that
Twin Falls county some time will have
a court house. 1t is a necessity. When
1t is a necessity, when we must have it
some day, why not have it now?
When q man has lived as long as l |
have he will learn that the way to en-
Joy life is to use the things he wants
as he goes along. l have learned that
as we'll as / have learned anything,
and have learned this in connecticut
That when a man gets anything he
wants, or what he must have, he wants
and ought to get the very best Of its
kind.
II do, not doubt that Twin Falls
county can get along for year.. or
two years, or FIVE years, in a shack for
, court house.. We all could live, in
shacks II we wanted to, but It Is the
of all OF us to trade OF
our shacks just as soon as possible for
