HAVE YOU REGISTERED?
Under the New Law You Must Now
Register Six Months Before
Won Cam Vote.

The News would again call the at
tention of the voters of Terrell coun-
ty to the new election law which
makes it necessary to register six
months previous to an election to be
qualified to vote therein.
This seems to be a regulation that
will bring about complications, and
one that will disqualify many good
voters. But that is neither here nor
there. 1t is now the law, and it is
incumbent upon voters who would
exercise suffrage to see that their
names are entered upon the registra-
ton lists at the beginning of the
year If they would take part in cleo
tons that may occur in that year.
The News man tried to register
under the new law day or two
ago, but found that no books had
been provided for the purpose-at
least, there were none to be found
at any of the county offices where
they are usually kept. Tax Collec-
tor Bowman said that he had not
been furnished with new registra-
ton books, but that he would try
TO find out whose duty it is to supply
them.
We do not know just whose duty
it is to provide these books, and we
call attention to the omission and
urge that the books be provided
without delay so that the voters can,
if they desire to do 50, be ready to
vote in any election it may possibly
be necessary to hold before the end
of the year

COUNCIL MEET CONTINUED
LOCAL FATHERS HAVE BEEN
HAVING PROTRACTED SEES
SIONS FOR A WEEK.

The new city council have been
having a rather strenuous initiation
into their duties, and the result is
there have been protracted sessions
of the body for a week.
At the regular monthly meeting
last Tuesday night they were in ses-
sion until midnight, met again We'd
nesday and after several hours of
work adjourned to meet again Mon
day morning, and Monday after a
session of two or three hours adj
journed to meet again at night to
pass upon the annual license tax or
dinance, which had previously been
adopted and reconsidered.
A good deal of the time the coun-
Gil was in sessions was taken UP in
hearing appeals to that body of SEN
fences that had been imposed by the
mayor, though a number of other
matters were up for attention.
Some bills for goods that had been
bought by chairmen of some of the
committees provoked considerable
discussion, and at one time it seemed
as if they would not be approved by
the finance committee They were
finally ordered paid after being held
up two or three days.
Mayor Broke a Tie.
A motion was made that Alder
man McNulty, the chairman of the
water and light committee, be en-
powered to employ all of the force
needed in operating the plant, and
a substitute was offered that the
council elect all of the citys en-
ployes. The vote on the substitute
was a tie, and Mayor Marlin cast his
vote for it, which means that the
council will elect all employees of the
department.
Dr. J. G. Dean appeared before the
council and made complaint of the
alleged bad sanitary condition of the
old frame building on the east side
of his brick storehouse, and stated
that water off of it runs down along
the side of his property, leaks into
his cellar and is causing the brick
walls to sink into the earth. The
complaint was referred to the health
committee.
The city officials who had previous
ly been voted suits of clothes by the
council requested that the body APP
propriate such sums as it was willing
to pay for uniforms and let the Off
GERS buy their own suits. 1t was de-
cided to allow $40 for each uniform
Aldermen Davis, Lowrey and Nc
Nulty were appointed a committee to
inspect the public hacks of the city
before they are licensed for the pres
ent year.

DR.. H, w. Harris entertained the
doctors at an informal dinner Friday
evening. The dining room was pretty
in its decorations of white and green.
Pot plants were used with vases of
white hyacinths and narcissus. The
centerpiece of the table was a cut
glass vase of narcissus with feathery
ferns. DR.. Harris has a genial man
ner that makes him an unusually
hospitable host, and the affair was
la delightful one for all present. Dr..
Thomas of Doverel was the only out
of town guest.

parties where he was rooming went
to his room at the hour of twelve to
call him, Meeting with no response,
the door was opened and the young
man was found lying in his bed as he
had retired, with life extinct. He
had seemingly passed away without a
struggle, and all indications pointed
to heart disease as the cause. Clarence
went from Grangeville to Elk City

the winter and from recent letter
was preparing to come down to this
place in few days on visit. He

r. R. AFTER
ASBESTOS
Things Seem to Justify the
Building Rumors on the
Clearwater.

Reports from Kamiah state the
Chicago, Milwaukee s. St. Paul Rail
road company is now engaged in the
acquisition of approximately 1000
acres of land located near Kamiah
and covering the district in which the
asbestos rock deposit is found. 1t is
stated the company has already bought
a number of claims and that several
options on other properties have been
secured.
The report is to the effect that the
deals are being negotiated by George
Runkle, the well-known Kamiah citi-
zen, but it is stated the money is being
supplied by the vice president of the
Milwaukee road.
The activity of the company in the
Clearwater territory, following the fl
ing of articles of incorporation provid-
ing for the building of railroad into
the North Fork section, adds another
interesting feature to the railroad con.
troversy now being worked out il
central Idaho.

Distinguished Artist in Grangeville.

Ii was discovered by a Globe re-
porter this week, that Grangesille has
as a guest, an artist of distinction
from the east, who has been here for
some time, painting the magnificent
scenery in this country. He works
very quietly, as that is most conduct
i've to successful work.
In an interview, he said: Many
of the artists in the east are painting
western scenery from vague dlscrlp-
tons and poor photographs, and are
imposing their productions upon the
public as genuine paintings from life,
but let an artist, or art lover, view
this magnificent scenery as it is, with
all its wonderful blending of delicate
colors and tints, and they will stand
aghast in wonderment. This scenery
is just marvellous, simply unparalleled.
The people here, proud as they are
of this country, have little conception
of its exceptional beauty from the
viewpoint of the trained artist. " Here
the artist became very enthusiastic ii
his praise of this country.
This gifted gentleman is ]. W.
Galbraith, of Philadelphia, who ha'
spent his entire life in preparation TO
his work. He is a graduate, with
high honors, from the pennsylvania
Museum and School of Industrial Ar
and also took postgraduate cours'
at the same institution, after which HI
entered the Pennsylvania Acad

studio in the city of Philadelphia for
several years, during which period he
received eleven hundred dollars, from

great demand for truly high class

him upon his present tour. So far

r.. Clearwater Country is Now
he Scene of Great Activity.
FALL OVER EACH OTHER
nR. & N. and N. P. Both Said
10 Have Surveyors in Action.

All kinds of reports are now cur
rent in regard to what the competing
rairoads are intending to do on the
Clearwater and Snake rivers. The
Milwaukee, Northern Pacific and
O. R. & N. are believed to be striv-
ing to out general each other for the
most accessible crossing over the
mountains from the Clearwater
country into Montana, or vice versa.
There is more or less speculation, but
some things are evident, and among
the evident things is the fact that there
are numerous corps of surveyors very
busy running lines along the river,
with what object is not yet clear.
One cop, of surveyors, said to be
O. R. & N. men, have started in at
Spaulding and are running up the
south hank of the Clearwater, on an
old survey Of that company, which if
followed clear through, will bring
them out through the Big Canyon
and Little Canyon to Nez Perce,
from there the survey comes on to
Grangeville. Mr.. Larson, the Nez
Perce real estate man, now in the
city, says that is the course that is to
be pursued.
AT Kooskia is another bunch of
surveyors, said to be N. P. men, with
a car or two of baggage and instru-
ments, with every indication that they
have come out equipped for a long
stay.
The Milwaukee is known to be
cutting cross lots from the Montana
side into the Clearwater timber belt.
After all the dust now being kicked
up, settles, it is to be hoped there will
still remain something of substantial
beneht to this section of the country.
