MUNICIPAL ELECTION
IS NEAR
There is a Dearth of Candi-
dates for Mayor and
Councilmen.

With the city election only a
month away, candidates for mayor
and councilmen are as scarce as
hens teeth. The old populistic theo
ry that the office should seek the
/ man seems to prevail, and even at
that considerable persuasion seems
to be necessary. E. NJ. Reilly, the
present mayor, declines to accept
he position for another term. He
has made faithful and efficient Of
ficial and his announcement that
for business reasons he would not
consent to run again is disappoint-
ment to many citizens. With Mr..
Reilly out of the race, there is a
strong sentiment for C. P Bilderback
and though he is reluctant to again
take up official duties, such strong
pressure is being brought to bear
he will probably accept if nominated
V. T. Craig has also been mention
ed, but he refuses to make the race.
For councilmen, many names are
nelng cOnSldere0. In the west War0
Dave Murray, Harry Titus and W. R.
Cartwright are mentioned. In the
South ward. Dr. Cummings, w. H.
Hall, H. A. Blackman, D. NJ. John
and Jonathan Moulton. In the
North ward; Walter Knox, V. T.
Craig, c. L. Gamage, B. B. DAVIS
and E. c. Rundstrom. From this
list it will be easy to pick six good
men for the council
Fhe next two years promises to be
important ones in the history of the
town, and care should be taken to
give the city a progressive, yet con-
servative, business administration.
Every citizen should make it his
duty to attend the caucus when caIle
and take an active part in selecting
men who will answer these require
ments.

1t Pays to Advertise.

The drawing power of advertise
ments in The Index is SO sttrong
that sometimes it brings trouble to
the old man. For instance, George
Knowles lost his spotted bird dog,
and in a Jour line ad made known
his loss. Since then everyone who
had a dog he had no use for or who
had grievance against his neigh
boris canine, answered the ad, and
as result Mr.. Knowles's office has
been besieged with so many dogs
that the woodwork has been nearly
ruined. There were ours, mongrels,
standard bred and thorough breds;
dogs that couldn't smell baked
chicken on the back poarch or To-
cate ham bone in a swill berrel.
There were grey hounds, mastiffis
pull dogs, poodles and terriers, ever.
kind but brown and white spotted
pointers with wart on his front
leg and a rheumatic TAIL And now
George threatens The Index with a
damage suit for loss of time and
temper.
Another case is that of Price Bane.
who inserted two line ad of chick
ems for sale. The ad only cost him
80 cents and he sold $65 worth of
chickens, but he isn't satisfied, be-
cause the customers are still coming
and have nearly pulled down his
chicken house trying to find more
fowls.
Once in while an ad will begin
drawing before the paper is issued.
This was the case with an advertiser
ment of turkeys for sale by Paul
Kefauver The ad was handed in
Tuesday and Wednesday night, a day
before the paper was printed, he hat
sold every turkey on the place.
Oh, it pays to odvertise, all right,
especially in The Index.

new HOUSES ON BENCH
w. H. Mcdowell Gives Contract for
Farm House.

Present prospects are that many
new houses will be built on the
bench this year. In addition to the
tour that the Orchards company will
build, mention of which was made
last week, w. H. Mcdowell, recently
from Seattle and with NJ. E. Lewis

Kinser for the erection of a bunga-

The young lady, whose name will
be withheld, is well known in EN-
nett She arrived Tuesday after
noon on the Emmett-VanWyck stage
from the upper country, and occu-
pied a room in the Gamage room
ing house over night. In the morn
ing she went to the depot to take
the train for Caldwell. Soon after
ner departure from the house a pair
of blankets were reported missing
from the bed she occupied and Chief
Police Patiscn was notified. When
confronted with the theft at the de-
pot, the fair young thief indignant
ly denied the charge, but when she
was told that it would be necessary
to search her suit case, she confessed
and added that other articles would
also have been taken if her grip had
been large enough to hold them.
Mr.. Gamage refused to prosecute
the lday and she was allowed to con
tinue her journey.
This is not the first time this
rooming house has suffered from tht
theft of bed clothes, and, strange
to say, all the other thieves have
been women. No trouble on this
score has ever been caused by men.
One woman not long ago went so
far as to fill her trunk with blank
cts, quilts, sheets and spreads. and
even a pillow and a hair brush.

new road from the valley onto

road leaves the main thoroughfare

short distance, climbs the hill in a
