Whatever the feeling Of the others.
Armstrong found himself unable to
sleep that night. It seemed to him
that fate was about to play him the
meanest and most fantastic Of tricks.
Many times before in his crowded life
he had loved other women, or so he
characterized his feelings, but his pas

there had been many women, but these
two were the high points, the rest was
lowland.
Once before, therefore, this Newbold
had cut in ahead Of him and had won
the woman he loved. Armstrong had
cherished hard grudge against him
for q long time. He had not been Of

Bio Time at Montour.

The opening of the new town of
Montout with an auction sale, of town
lots on Tuesday, the 2Jth of August,
is attracting much attention. Special
trains will run from Boise via Nampa
and from Payette, via Emmott and a
band will be in attendance to enliven
the occasion with good music:
The new town will start off with
very flattering prospects. Ii is cam
didatc for the county seat of Boise
county, with excellent chances of sue
cess, and it has been announced that
the Payette Lumber company, which
owns vast tracts of timber on the
reaches of the upper Payette river
will build there large mill and fac
tories for the manufacture of it's
products. Add to this The rich fruit
and agricultural districts tributary to
tie town, and there seems little left
TO be desired. A town lot in Montour
would appear. to be pretty good in
rostment.

PRIMARY RESULTS.

While some of the candidates the
Enterprise desired to see nominated
on the republican ticket were not
successful, as a whole tho ticket as
famed by the people suits us and we
ere for them. Because some men
We thought worthy of place were
defeated we have no sore spots. The
ticket as it stands is composed of
sccd, clean earnest men who will no
t7ubt live up to their pledges and
/ Grty and this is all we can ask of
them. Headed by Senator H. c.
Daldridge we believe that Messers
Bradley Cakes, lockwood. French
and Lewis will make strong legis-
lative team and one that will care
fully look after the interests of the
greatest majority. The most of the
issues in the primary were clean
cut and well understood and there
can be no mistake in the attitude OF
the various candidates. In the
county we believe that the Republi-
cans have wisely chosen the best tim
Der at their command and also that
the entire tickle will receive hearty
at the hands of the
people next fall.

Mrs. Charlotte Collyer, who with

$212S from strangers in America,
who were so impressed with her stor.

story was published in the States

were received which we're forwarded

HOW TO VOTE.

There was evidence of very wide
lack of knowledge on the part of vot-
ers last Tuesday as TO how to vote
at the primary This brings to mind
the necessity of a campaign of educa-
ton along this line that would certain
ly result in a more enlightened ex-
preston of the will of the voters.
And while discussing this matter it
is not out of the way to suggest that
practical lessons in the schools, along
with the lessons in civil government
might be productive of better citiz-
enship on the part of Che future
generation. Regularly conducted
primary elections in the schools
would put the boys and girls in line
% vote more intelligently when
they come to exercise the duties
that are to devolve upon them. The
whole field of elective features of
civil government might be covered in
the schools, making an interesting as
well as an educational exercise-pro-
ductive of better citizens.
1t was disappointing feature of
the recent primary that so many
were not posted on the matter of
voting Numerous voters made I
out tickets that were not counted
while many others were required, be-
fore depositing their ballots, to re-
turn to the booths with new set
Of ballots to make out a ballot that
might be deposited. Many could |
not understand how or why bal |
OF of both parties might not be
,oted.

THURSDAY, AUGUST s, 1912.

There is only one point in which
we are unable to satisfy our
selves IN the coming campaign. The
tranchm4nt and a cutting down of
taxes. Yet the call also seems to
be coming for the creation of num-
Der of commissions. boards, etc.,
which will undoubtedly tend to in
crease the expenditures of the
peoples money without any partic-
ular saving, that we can see. d

Both Sneads and Alexanders are now

The association has advised the

past that it was the custom 20 delude
the growers into the belief that they

The cherry crop is practically ex-
hausted and the apricots will not |

The potato crop on the western
