this secticn OF Idaho ale thousands
of cords of tops and growing trees,
which practically OF no value for linn

and could be put to other valuable
use. After cutting over lands, lum-
Der companies consider the timber
remaining as yalueless and therefore
all flres as doing no damage except
the cost assessed In fighting the fires.
This year that cost is mounting high
and possibly when all costs connected
with flre lusses, have been estimated,
it will show 'twould have been cheap

QUIET DAY AT THE POLLS
Counting Of Ballots Proves an
Unexpected Task.

The primary election in Rath-
drum Tuesday passed off quietly.
There was some delay in opening
the polls in the morning while
vacancies on the election board
were filled and methods of pro-
cedure decided upon. F. L.
Runyon, c. l. Sage and B. F.
Bourn were sworn in as judges and
Misses Laura Reiniger and Militia
Mitchell as talley clerks. is.
Woolery and w. O. Galloway were
constables and Mrs. McCaddam
distributing clerk. Out of a total
registration of $40, SOS votes were
cast up to the time the polls closed
at 8 o'clock.
The counting of the votes proved
stupendous task owing to the in
tricacies Of the second choice votes,
and up to S o'clock Wednesday
morning but one fourth Of the votes
cast had been counted. The
second choice feature made neces-
sary the use of two sets Of talley
books and practically doubled the
work required in counting the
ballots at general election. The
use of the second set Of counting
judges was ruled out as being in
conflict with the general election
laws.
On some of the ballots only two
or three candidates were voted for
On many others votes were an
nulled because of failure to indicate
second choice.

OUTCOME IN DOUBT
Clagstone Close to Brady For
Head Place.
FRENCH DEFEATS HAMER
Results Of Primary on the Minor
Offices Still Uncertain.

The complications Of the second
choice votes in the primary elect-
ion held throughout Idaho last
Tuesday, have made the counting
OF the ballots so slow that the
TRIBUNE is unable to publish CON-
plete returns this week.
The news dispatches of yester-
day indicated that Burton l..
French was in the lead for con-
gresham in so many counties that
there seems no doubt of his nomi-
nation.
Other republicans, whose nomi-
nation on the state ticket is assur-
ed, are Isaac N. Sullivan for
justice Of supreme court, and S. D.
Taylor for state auditor.
The meager returns show Brady
in the lead for the nomination for
governor, followed so closely by
Clagstone that it is thought it will
take the official count to decide
the winner.
r. N. Dunn's nomination for
judge of the Eighth judicial dis
trict is practically assured.
The Spokesman Review OF yes
terday says:
Thousands of ballots were
thrown out because the voters
failed to obey the mandate of the
law to vote for second choice. Ir
hundreds Of instances the precincI
judges failed to give unofficial
reports Of the returns.
"The result has been that the
gathering of returns has been more
difficult than at any election evel
known IN the northwest. 1t Is
| quite possible that more than one
Office on the republican ticket viii
require second choice canvass.
A report from Boise says tha
with So scattered precincts com
, pleted out of 533 in the state, ex
elusive Of Ada county, the first ane
second choice votes taken together
on the republican state ticke
shows the standing Of the various
, candidates as follows: J.

Another new feature Of the en-
campment was the fact that the
enlisted men in attendance re-
celved state pay as promised in
general orders. This was the first
time the Idaho militia ever re-
ceived state pay at American Lake,
although the regiment had attend
ed three previous encampments
there.

Hearing in Water Tanale

Greeley, Colo., Aug. 22.-At Sterling
tomorrow District Judge Burke will
hear the application of the Bijou Irri-

company, plaintiffs, for an injunction
restraining the Green City Irrigation
company and the Riverside Reservoir
and Irrigation company, defendants
from turning out 100000 cubic feet
of water from Riverside reservoir.
The water is the property of the
Green City company and has been
stored in Riverside, subject to the use
of the Bijou people, of whom the
Green City borrowed water.
The contention of the Bijou people is
that they had contract with the
Green City concern, which entitled
them to have this water in exchange
for an equal amount the Bijou people
furnished Green City early in the sea-
son. This the latter deny and refer to
a prior contract in support of their

About the Stork Systesn Of
Savin1s.

Our whole commonwealth is inter-
ested in the matter of impressing upon
the minds of the present generation the
Importance of accumulating savings.
The Stork System of Savings is so
novel and interesting that upon its
adoption in a community everyone is
desirous of knowing what it is and how
they may avail themselves of its op-
portunities. The P. Petersen Mercan-
tile Co., has secured the exclusive use
of the System for Julesburg and vicin-
ity, and its operation and benefits may
be briefly explained rs follows: Upon
procuring the name and date of birth
of any baby born since Jan. l, 1909, a
deposit Of one dollar will be made in
the Citizens National Bank and regu-
larly entered to the credit of the baby
in the Stork pass book; the pass book,
with q miniature bank will be delivered
to the parents in name of the baby and
thereafter, the depositor will receive
8 per cent on all purchases of merchan-
disc from the P. Petersen Mercantile
Co., made by the parents or friends of
the baby by giving the pass book num-
ber.
The fund 30 accumulated will insure
the child an education.
These deposits belong absolutely to
the child and in case of death or other
emergency, may be withdrawn by its
parents or legal guardian, the account
may be added to like any other savings
bank account independent of the resu-
lar percentage on purchases and will
accumulate the regular interest as al.
lowed by the bank On other savings de-
posits.
The educational features commend
the idea to every good citizen, and
where in use is strongly endorsed rs

Fifty.fivs Car Load of Peaches

Palisade, C0lo., Aug. 3.-Fifty- five
car loads of peaches in four train loads
were shipped from here last night,
and nearly as many more will go out
today. The --Elberta season is at its
height and before the week ends $50
refrigerator cars now held in waiting
in the Grand valley will be sent out to
every part of the United States filled
with peaches.
All three shipping associations have q
force Of men working day and night and
the crop is being handled expeditiously
and without loss. A light rain this
morning interfered but little with the
picking and sufficient force of packers
is now on hand to handle the enormous
crop. 81.

an important factor in the up-building
of the community.
That large percentage of the grow
ing generation of children will be pro-
vided with sufficient funds for an edu-
cation seems like fairy tale but the
system will surely accomplish this re.
suit.
1t is fully protected under the new
copyright law of 1909 and is the great
est idea of the age for the education Of
the people in the savings habit"
