Oakley-Junct-
ion Road to
be Built.
WILL FOLLOW BIRCH GREEK.
GOOD GRADE.

The most favorable outlook
for the construction OF a good
wagon and automobile road up
the Birch Greek into the Junction
has now presented itself and be-
fore the snow flies the people in
the Junction valley and OF Oakley
will very likely see a first class
road built for their convenience
and benl6t.
For long time the need of a
good road through the section
referred to has been sorely needed
and on Monday last a committee
from the Commercial Club con-
sisting of Mayor John O. Lowe,
Sen. H. {. Haight. VIM. H. Poul-
ton, and l.. A. Critchfeld investi.
gated the Birch Creek route and
selected course to follow in
building the new road.
Assurances have been received
from the county commissioners
that liberal assistance will be Civ
EN- the work from them and the
Junction people have expressed
on many occasions their willing
ness to assist at any time in this
work. SO that it appears the
work will go ahead at once.
Already the Junction valley is
becoming producer of drv-land
grains and this place is the ma
tural and practical market for
their products.
1t also means much to this ter
ritory and the upper country to
have this road built from a-eom-
mercial point of view because of
the ben;hts to be derived by both
sections.
Ii 1T is constructed the outlook
is favorable for the trans contin-
entail automobile route to come
through the city of rocks and
Oakley on its way to the coast
and the interest manifested on
the part of the people here may
mean more than at first anticip-
ated.
II is certainly worthy of en-
couragement from every source
bv the people here and the matter
should be kept prominently in
mind till the road is built.

Provisions
of Primary
Election Laws.

In view of the coming election
the following provisions of the
laws of Idaho will be of interest
both to the voters and to the
candidates:
The primary election occurs
Tuesday, July 3Oth.
Fifteen days after primary cleo
ton the county nominees shall
meet and select central commit
tee of not less than one nor more
than three for each precinct.
Twenty-Five days after election
the county central committee
shall meet for the purpose of or
ganizing and also for the purpose
of electing a member of the state
central committee.
There will be some change in the
arrangement of the ballot this
year, III that the names will be
changed in position IN each office
division, so that one name, be-
cause of its alphabetical order,
will not necessarily head each di-
vision throughout the ballots tor
each precinct. For instance,
ones might be a candidate for
governor and head the list on the
first ballot. On the succeeding
ballots the positiod would be
changed. and this change would
be followed Systematically for as
many names as appear in that
particular office division.
Under the old law Is per cent
of the first years salary was per-
mitted for personal expenses of
candidates, whether for state
district or county officers. This
year it is 25 per cent TOR state Of
fees, congressman or United
States senator, Is per cent for
candidates for district Judge, and
10 per cent Tor county officers, ex-
cept commissioners and members

shall vote for second choice or
not. The candidate receiving the

than 40 per cent of the first

Idaho Farmers

Markets.
ADVISED TO HOLD ON TO
PRODUCTS.

Farmers and ranchers in Idaho
are being advised to hold on to
their hay and potatoes until the
last moment before selling, as the
crops in the east are said to have
been badly damaged. In Kansas
and Nebraska the hot Gather
and the hot winds have practic-
ally destroyed all staple crops,
and in Ohio the potato crop is
said to be a failure this year.
Moses Alexander, who returned
from the east on Wednesday, has
the following to say concerning
the crop conditions in the east.
The Idaho farmer should not
be in hurry to sell his hay or
his potatoes. There is a scarcity
of hay in the eastern states and
in the middle west. The same
applies to potatoes, as in Michi-
gan and Ohio it is claimed there
will not be half a crop
ANY apples which are to be
sold will have to come from Ida
no, Oregon and Washington.
I he corn crop in Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa is a failure, and should
cause a great demand for western
hay in the eastern market. While
passing through Kansas on the
tr III the thermo ter registered
1O5 in the shade, with q hot
wind blowing outside. In Nebra-
ska it was 40 in the shade.
II the Idaho farmer will hold
on to his crops for a little while

prices for his products.

Petitions Will Be
Circulated.
PREPARING FOR ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
IN EFFORT TO MOVE COUNTY
SEAT TO BURLEY.

The preliminary steps have
been taken for bringing to vote
the question of removing the
County Seat from Albion to Bur-
ley. The notice OF intention to
to circulate petitions calling for
a vote on the matter was publish
ed two months ago, Under the
the direction of S. T. Lowe, who
has charge of the campaign at
this time, A. M. 7Weger has COM
piled a poll list ofthe county, and
has got things into condition for
a thorough canvass.
In order to become effective in
securing the election, the petitions
must be signed by a majority of
of the voters of Cassia County.
The petitions have already
been made out and will be circu-
lated Ill every precinct of the
county, Good men will be sent
out with the petitions, and at the
same time that they are getting
signatures they will explain the
merits of Burley's claim upon
the county seat. The work of
circulating the petitions must be
completed during the present
month.
Following the circulation of
the petitions an active campaign
will be carried on up to the time
of the election in November.
Every voter in the county will be
made acquainted with Burley's
advantages as a county seat
town, and once the conditions
are thoroughly understood by the
people it is felt that there will be
little opposition to the move
thruout the county generally.

BRANDED BRIDES

So far as proposals of marriage
are concerned, in New Guinea it
is always leap year, for in that
island the men consider it beneath
their dignity to notice women,
much less to make overtures of
marriage. Consequently the pro-
posing is left to thes,women to do.
When the ebony belle falls in love
with a man she sends a piece OF
string to his sister or, II he has
no sister, to his mother or another
of his lady relatives. Then the
lady who receives the string tells
the dusky masher that the par.
ticular damsel is in love with him.
No courting follows, however,
for it is considered beneath a New
Guinea gontleman's dignity to
waste time in such n pursuit. II
the man thinks he would like 10
wed the lady he meets her alone.
and they decide straight away
whether to marry or, drop the
idea.
In the former case the bttroth al
