RESULT OF LOCAL OPTION
ELECTION IN OUR COUNTY
Bad Weather Makes Full Vote Impossible and
Vets Win Out by the Small Majority
of Eleven

Probably one of the most
strenuous campaigns ever wag-
ed in this county came to an
end Wednesday when the peo-
pie met and decided the ques-
tion Of local option through the
medium of the BALLOT.
1t was a cold, wet day, a driz-
zling rain chilling the ardor of
a good many of the voters, as
the returns from the several
precincts speak of a general
falling off, a condition that can
be directly traced to weather
conditions. This, perhaps, more
than any other reason, is why
the vote is so close and why the
wet forces polled the majority
that says liquor can be sold in
Elmore county for two more
yerrs unless, before the expira-
tion of that time, a state prohi-
bition law becomes effective.
In the smaller precincts where
the voters were compelled to
travel ten or fifteen miles in
order to cast their vote the
weather was against them and
they did not vote. AS a fitting
illustration of this one can
glance at the returns and pick
out Mayfeld. Conceded by the
most rabid wet advocate to be
the driest precinct in the coun-
ty, it fell into the wet ranks

Sept. 10, 1909.
The Board of Trustees of the
Village of Mountain Home,
Idaho, met in special session
pursuant to an order made and
entered Sept. Z, 1909, for the
purpose of considering the let
ting of a water franchise; the
third reading Of proposed ordi-
nance No. SO and for consider
ing an amendment to Rule |.
Roll call--present: Whitson,
Stanfeld, Wilson, Englehart
and Thompson; clerk and at
torney.
Minutes of previous meeting
read and approved.
Mr.. Carter McVine Tobey
submitted a draft Of franchise
he desired to supply the village
with water. Mr.. Eaton also ap-
peared and stated that he was
present to answer any questions
the board saw fit to ask, regard
ing his proposition to ask for a
water franchise. Moved by
Thompson that the board go
into executive session for the
purpose of discussing this
matter. Seconded by Engle-
hart. Motion prevailed unani,
mously. Thereupon. the board
entered into executive session.
Moved by Thompson that the
board adjourn the executive
session and open in the special
session and seconded by Engle-
hart. Motion prevailed unani-
mously and the board resumed
the special meeting.
Proposed ordinance No. SO
came on regularly for third
reading and was read in full
section by section. Moved by
Thompson that proposed ordi-

with a majority of three. In
dubitably this was because the
rain prevented the people Of
Sunnyside from voting.
Despite the rain both sides
had their forces lined up for
battle in this city and Glenns
Ferry. Every available auto
mobile and carriage in the city
was pressed into service, and
every felgible voter within a
radius of five miles was brought
to the poles to exert his or her
right as an American citizen.
Various forecasts as to the re-
suit in Mountain Home and
!Glenns Ferry were made, but
none of them came near speak
ing the actual elimination of
the wishes of the people.
For a time it was thought
that we had won when Glenns
Ferry gave a dry majority Of
twelve and Atlanta forty-six,
giving the drys a lead of twelve
but when the returns came in
from the rural districts where
the rain and snow kept the vot-
ers indoors, began coming, in it
was admitted that the cause
was lost.
Following are the unofficial
returns, compiled as nearly cor
rect as possible up to the time
of going to press:

ATTRACTION AT
STANDARD THEATER
Ex-Governor "Bob' Taylor Of
Tennessee VIII Appear at
Local Play House

1t has oftimes been reiterat.
ed, and pretty thoroughly car
ried out, that diversion is the
spice of life. This holds good
no matter in what capacity it is
applied, and at the Standard
opera house a week from Mon
day night, October Is, will ap-
pear a diversion in the theatri-
cal line, Bob Taylor in his
famous humorous recitation,
Happy Valley Not only can
this wizard of the stage make
an Egyptian mummy's sides
shake with laughter, he is also
proficient in ringing tears from
a heart of stone. Both phases
of life are depicted in his SUBJ
ject next Monday, the sorrow
full and the gladstone, blended
SO thoroughly that the speaker
disappears and only his voice,
like the gentle rhythm of the
waves at rest, speaks from out
the life picture that appears be-
fore the eyes of his audience.
Truly, the advent of Cover
nor Taylor will be treat long
to be remembered by the people
of Mountain Home and every
one should take advantage Of
this opportunity. Seats will be
reserved at R. W. Smiths drug
store Friday, Oct Is.
