almost a total absence of the stable
or biting fly.
The LenoX eXperimenter says that
tarvia has practically killed the breed
ing places of the stable fly and that
there are fewer house flies.
Since it has been established that
typhoid germs are carried by flies,
also Asiatic cholera, and that there is
strong evidence that the fly is also
the carrier of tuberculosis and other
diseases, the discovery that oilMg
highways lessons the comon fly and
almost entirely exterminates the stab
lie fly appears to be of the highest i'm
pOrtance.

ELECTION OF CLERK is
ALREADY OF INTEREST
Voters Who Are Registered
Alone Qualified

The election for city clerk and treas
urer, called by the council for Au-
gust 22d, is going to be one of in
terest despite the short campaign, and
the candidates will have only a dozen
days wherein to lampoon the able
voter and execute the button hole act
But even now the candidates are busy
in that direction
Fortunately for the aspirants for the
clerkship there are only 332 voters 10
be seen, as the voting list is restricted
to the registered list only.
Following the law in such cases,
only those voters who paid last yea S
city taxes and registered are entitled
to vote in this election, or any other
|are again opened for this years
primary, when the registration books

taxes.
1Iessrs. H. w. Weaver and c. 4.
Chambliss are the announced candi-
dates for the clerkship, made vacant
by the resignation of Clerk Hawkes..
This is a regular election and not a
primary.
The duties of the Office are very
ionerous, but either of the two aspi-
rants Offering for the position are Well
qualified to fill it. Both are popular
among a wide circles of friends, and
each will strive to get a majority of
the 1872 voters who are qualified to
cast a ballot in this unexpected cleo
ton.
1t was thought for a time that Nv.
Samuel Harrison would be a candf-
date, but not so, as he has accepted
ia position already with Warlick Bros.
Co. for the next year.

Big ADVANCE IN RENTS
AS RESULT OF PAVING
Owners Of Realty Advance
Their Figures

The Americas renter has just been
made wise to the fact that the cost of
street paving and other municipal i'm
provements does not fall entirely upon
the poor property owner. as many
may have enormously supposed. Upon
the other hand the jolly renter is 60
ing to pay the freight-to a great eX-
tent at least.
Such is the ukase that has gone
forth within the past few days, and
Mr.. Renter is up against it.
Already many tenants of stores and
dwellings within the zone Of improve
ment, where paving and sewerage will
be put down, have been put wise %
the revised rentals.
The renting period here, very gen.
orally, is from September 1st, for one
year, and the new condition of affairs
the increased rent-goes into eff
feet three weeks hence. There is no
alternative than to be good and pay
more, as there are no vacant stores or
dwellings into which one might move,
if a move was even desired.
improvements cost money, and the
owner of the property will arrange
his rental lists accordingly.
Several merchants and others who
rent property have thus been notified
OF the advance, which in some instan-
ces is quite considerable.

ORGANIZING HOSPITAL

Route Divided Into Two Di.
visions DR.. Reynolds in
Charge of First Division

Dr. Myers of ogden, chief sur
gean of the Utah Construction COM
pany, who returned Saturday from
trip over the route Of the Ida
no Northern extension, announced
the appointment of Or. J L. Rey-
nolds of this city as physician and
surgeon in charge OF the medical
work between Emmett and the
Banks ranch above Horseshoe Bend,
a distance of 30 miles.
The route has been divided into
two sections, the first as given
above, and the second extending
from the Banks ranch to Smiths
Ferry. The principal hospital will
be located at Nampa, and it is pro-
bable that will be the only one,
though the location OF one at some
point in the second division, pro-
babIy at the Ferry, is under consi-
deration. However, Dewey's in
fluence seems to be supreme and he
does not intend to let anything get
away from Nampa if he can help it
DR.. Myers has charge of all the
Utah Construction company's work,
and he farms it out to sub-contrac-
tors, the same as is done with the
grading and tunneling and other
work. DR.. Reynolds duties will
require him to make one trip each
week to all the camps in his di-
vision to look after the health of
the workmen and the sanitary con
dition of the camps OF course,
he may be called upon besides at
any time, day or night.
