,omas Prairie r. r. Co. Took
over Line Friday
PRACTICALLY TWO ROADS
Brings Us in Close Touch With
Portland and the Coast

The Camas Prairie Railroad Com.
any. the holding company for the
inc from Lewiston to Grangeville,
look over the line last Friday and now
by the agreement of the N. P. and O.
h. a N. Grangeville practically has
Two lines of transportation. By the
agreement both of these lines are al
lowed to solicit freight and passenger
business in this territory. The sched-
ule has not been changed on this line
however but by the joint operation
Portland is but twenty-four hours
from Grangeville. Portland whole
sale houses, even under the adverse
arrangements formerly in use, were
able to do the bulk Of the wholesale
business on Camas Prairie and with
the new arrangement will control
most of the wholesale trade. Anoth-
|er advantage to Portland will be the
ease with which stock may be shipped
Ito that market and with the Uuion
Stock yards recently completed there
no doubt most of Camas Prairie stock
Twill be shipped to that market.
With the Inauguration of Joint
operation the 0. r. 4 N. will pay a
great deal Of attention to Camas
Prairie in the way of developing the
country. According to the agreement
both the N. p. and O. r. 4 N. can
sell tickets from any point in the
United States to Grangeville. This
will be equal to having two roads.
c. W. Mount, the agent of the
70. R. Il N. at Lewiston was in the
|city the first of the week looking up
business for his company and placing
the opening wedge for division of
business from the Prairie.
The Pacific Express Co., the COM
pany which operates over the Harri-
man lines, has established an office in
the city and is now going after bust
ness. This will give Grangeville two
express companies.
Most people of Grangeville welcome
the joint operation and while we would
much rather see the Hartman line
come in on its own tracks we will have
TO be satisfied with the present ar
rangement which may not last always
lor according to the agreement the
arrangement can be cancelled at the
end Of a year by either line.
Close rail connection with Portland
Will bring that city and the Prairie
country closer together than has been
lot years and as Portland's interests in
TINS country are wholesale interests it
naturally follows that her assistance
IN the development Of this section will
oe greater than that of Spokane where
'ne principle business that city can en-
pect to gain from the Prairie is the
retail trade.

When May He Spend It?

The law does not state the time
within which this expense must be
figured. Thus would candidate be-
ginning now to lay his fences and pull
his wires for a nomination to be made
two years from now, be required to
certify to all expenses created from
this date, or for a number of years
running back? \ fair presumption
might be that since petitions may be
circulaten beginning June 10 preced-
ing primary, that only such expenses
as are created after that date should
count. But this would give the office
holders much the best of it, as also

The Cash Method

to the county clerk for county offices.

of the parties, but shall vote for III,
candidates only upon one, the other to
be given back and thrown into the
waste ballot box. The purpose of this
is to prevent the voting of scratched
ballot by any voter. that is, to prevent
a democrat, for instance. from voting
for republican candidates, or republi-
can voters voting for democratic can
didates.
Ry reason Of the fact that a blank
space is left on each ballot it might
appear that an opening would be left
for just such voting, but the law pro
vides that should the name of can
didate be written in this blank space
who is candidate upon another tick
ct, such ballot shall not be counted
Thus should Governor Brady be a
candidate for nomination for governor
and the democrats believe that he
would be good candidate for them to
have in. opposition, they could vote for
him, but such votes would not count
in nominating him. The result might
be announced James H. Brady 90
600 votes as a republican" and "Jas.
II. Brady, 5000 votes as democrat"
but the nomination would not be his
provided some other republican got
more republican votes, because the
democratic votes would be thrown
away. If he should happen to get
more such democratic votes than any
regular democratic nominee, he could,
by declaring his intention in writing,
accept the democratic nomination thus
rendered him, but he would have to
run as the democratic candidate.
Officers of election, registration,
counting and canvass of ballots and
all things pertaining to the primary
election, are regulated and governed
the same as for general elections, and
all expenses are to be paid by the
counties in Just the same manner.

WAKING UP.

There is a disease, common in
tropical countries, known as sleep
ing or African fever. The victim
is overcome by a desire to sleep
which he cannot shake of, and it
is only by skilled medical treat
nent and change of climate that
health can be restored. This disease
is not confined to Africa alone.
The public spirit Of Dolores has
been sadly afflicted with it in the
past but at the present writing is
convalescing nicely. The school
board has awakened and is making
extensive and much needed i'm
provements to our school grounds
and building. The church has
awoke and another church building
will grace our town in the near
future. 1t is now up to the town
council to awake and place water
and light proposition before the
people, and from remarks made by
our enterprising mayor at the last
meeting Of the trustees, we believe
something will be doing on this line
before long. With water system
and lighting plant in operation
Dolores will set pace in the pros.
perity race that will make the entire
country sit up and take notice.
