Here we are again after an absence
of one issue with the count and find
almost 400, 900 votes have been cast.
There has been no change in places but
some Of those who have been in the
lead have had their majorities reduced
until now they are in the lead by
small margin.
Take for instance the first district,
there is less than three Thousand votes
difference between the three leading
candidates. In the second district the
voting has been heavy and the candi-
dates in that district have almost
reached the forty thousand mark.
In the third district, the Salmon
river section, Mrs. Freeman still leads
but her majority has been cut down
from six thousand to four and the fight
continues close.
The fourth or Grangeville district
shows very little difference in the
standing of the candidates. There is
plenty of room for workers in Grange
vile and here is where large amount
of back subscription can be collected.
The interest in contest has never
been greater and every day we are in
terrogated as to what chance this girl
or that girl has. We hear that this
contestant will win out or that will,
everybody is making guess. No one
knows and no one will until after the
last votes have been cast after nine
o'clock on the evening of July seventh.
The rivalry between the contestants
has ceased to be Of a friendly nature
and the bitterness quite often bobs up.
From now on to and including
June Is, Just in order to stimulate
collections and get it the large sums
of money due us on back subscription
we give 800 votes on every dollar paid
in. This is for back subscription and
this offer will not be good after that
date. We need the money, you need
the voses. Get after those in arrear.
This is your chance and do not come
in with back subscription money after
that date and ask us to give you 300
votes per dollar. Here is chance to
do some effective work.
There is every indication that many
of the contestants are holding back a
great deal Of back money received OF
back subscriptions and while this is
not contrary to the rules Of the contest
it should be remembered that BOO
votes on every dollar which we are
now giving is special offer and will
be withdrawn after June Is.
Keep in Mind
That the Free Press actually prints
more news than any other paper in the
county.

In Memory OF Noble SChWal-
bach


We think of him whose voice is still
ed,
flushed forever in this world of
sin,
And we think of father and Of mother,
Then we can but whisper, Our Faith
er's will be done;
We can meet him on the other shore,
Clasps hands; and fast no; never
more,
Pain and sickness can not enter those,
All is joy and peace, with celestials
fair.
We, this Sunday school band resolve
to
Meet him on the other strand.
We shall miss him here below,
But he is safely sheltered in the
fold.
Once his Sunday School Teacher.

Story Goes Road Will Be Con-
tinued on to Crangeville
HILL IN HARTMAN DOMAIN,
Would Be Clever Strategy on
Part OF Jim Hill

Just at the present time while there
are SO many surveying crews in this
section and the Hill and Hartman
line are fighting each other and calling
one anothers bluffs it is pretty hard to
give much credence to any railroad
rumor and the ink is hardly dry on
the paper announcing some railroad
move in Central Idaho before another
story is started.
But after it is all sifted down We
believe Idaho county aud Central
Idaho will find it is going to have sew
eral new lines of railroad. The latest
story comes ffom Bosie and states
j i'm Hill has secured the "Pin" and
will connect up with the Grangeville
branch. This looks feasible as Hill
will thus get down in the Central
Oregon country and thus COMPEL Har-
riman to cease his fight in Central
Idaho and Washington.
Here is the report, reads good, don t
i'll
The latest projected plan of the
Hill railroad interests is to purchase
the Pacific q Idaho Northern road
and by including it in the Northern
Pacific system invade the Hartman
territory from the north. Although
an attempt was made to MAINTAIN alb
solute secrecy it is learned that form
al transfer of the Pacific Il Idaho
Northorn property may be made with
in the next few days.
Assistant Traffic Manager Hoover
Of the Pacific 4 Idaho Northern road
has been in St. Paul for more than a
week. He went as representative
of the local road, taking with him all
data concerning its physical condition
and of the surveys for the proposed
extention from Evergreen down the
Little Salmon river, thence down the
Big Salmon to point near Whitebird.
There the survey joins that OF the
Northern Pacific and it is to be the
junction of the two roads, according to
the present plans.
From Weiser it is suggested a Hill
road may be built westward extending
to the Coast and opening up a vast
area of undeveloped territory. Such ac-
ouistion of the Pacific ~ Idaho North
ern property would mean the COM
pletion of that road over the projected
northern route and actual contraction
would begin at once, as no time would
be lost by Hill in invading Hartman
territory.
Council a Division Point.
Council, it is understood, will be
made division point for the Pacific
& Idaho Northern branch by the
Northern Pacific in case the deal goes
through. Rumors to this effect have
stimulated the realty market in the
Council valley, not only in town lots
but farm property as well.
