Tribune Gets q Scoop

OwYhee county is to nominate some
Of its candidates on platform that
wants or don't want saloons in her con-
fines. One saloon in the nearest Cam
yon section in Owyhee county has been
running at a loss for some time basing
its life on the assumption that business
will be good when the irrigation canal
work starts little later. Itis proposed
to use no drunkards on the canal work
at all, and this win have to be figured
on by the whiskey dispensers in our
sister county. The saloon people in
Owyhee county have secured many
sworn statements from young men
under age, periuring themselves into
the statement that they are of age.
The county commissioners will be asked
to run out an out-and-out wet or dry
platform and the test based on this vote.
