ing that much care and hard work

The song, "Jolly Students" by the

others were enjoying under the shell

Armsby Company Asks Bids
For Proposed Ne10 Packing
Plant to be Erected Here

San Francisco, June 1S,-(Special)
Plans have been drawn and bids
asked for a new dried fruit packing
plant to be erected by the j. X. Arms
by company of San Francisco, the
largest handlers of California prod
ucts of any company in the world.
They have for years operated large
establishment in Vancouver, Clark
county, Washington, and, i'm order 90
complete their chain of packing
houses in the Northwest, have decid-
ed on plant for Dallas as one ON
the best locations In Oregon.
They will, during the season, em-
ploy large amount of local help
and distribute large sums of money
i'm payment for the same.
The above special to this newspa-
per is self explanatory and will set
at rest the various rumors that have
been in circulation during the past
few weeks that the Armsby company
did not intend to build its Dallas
plant this year, site for which has
been selected near the Southern Pa
cific station, facing on Clay street.
A few weeks since a representative
of the company accompanied by the
company's architect visited Dallas
and made some preliminary investi-
CATION regarding the site. While
here the information was given out
that work on the plant would begin
soon. Later, representatives OF the
company have been in conversation
over the long-distance phone regard
ing the prices of lumber in Dallas
and now comes the above message
from the head offices of the com
pany in San Francisco, which should
effectually silence the rumors.
AS has already been stated the
plant will be a large one and VIII be
eventually equipped to handle all
sorts of fruits raised in Polk county
and. in fact the entire valley, II
being the intention of the company
to build the plant of sufficient ca
pacity to handle the prune crop oi
the valley and to make the Dallas
station one of the most important on
the Coast

LEGISLATURE MAY Be ASKED TO
INVESTIGATE THE ALLEGED
ELECTION FRAUDS

The Twelfth Idaho legislature may
be called upon to determine the leg
atty Of the election held in Fremont
county Nov. 5, by making an investi-
cation of charges now being consid-
cred in Boise. These charges are to
the effect that registration blanks were
distributed in various precincts in that
county by various parties, not author
lied registrars, who had electors sign
these blanks and later file them with
the registrar; that registrations were
received there later than the last day
designated by law. the Saturday prior
to Tuesday on which the election was
held some of them even being received
on election day, and that but five out
of the SIS registrars filed the oath re-
qured by them to be taken, with the
county recorder
May Not Affect State Offices.
Unless a more liberal construction is
placed upon the law, or some election
statute so far undiscovered, is found,
the vote cast in Fremont county so
far as the national and state tickets
are concerned cannot be affected, 1t was
given out today, and therefore the sue
cessful candidates whose majorities are
small may be assured from attack, even
should q legislative investigation be
made. Action that may be taken UNI
less those behind the present activity
decide to abandon their work because
of the expense attached, might result
in an application for an injunction to
be made to prevent the recorder in
Fremont county from issuing certifi-
Gates of election to the successful
county candidates elected there at tho
recent election.

Referee NOT YET
NAMED FOR FIGHT
Promoter Morton Looking
for Man to Handle Thurs
day Nights Bout.

The third man" in the ring Thurs
day night when the Montana Kid and
Jack Carpenter 10-round boxing exhi-
bition goes on Is as yet unnamed and
fans are wondering who he will be.
The problem Is one that is giving Pro-
moter Mickey Morton not little worry
for while both boxers are satisfied with
him and determined that he shall go
into the ring to handle the mill. he
would rather not do so. but thinks
some one else should be selected. Pro-
fessor Dick and Ed Goddard have been
mentioned. but 1t Is claimed THAT the
boxers cannot agree upon either.
Friends Of Mickey Morton are urging
him to find some other man than him
self to handle the bout. He is now
looking around for some man who I'M
derstands the game and Is particularly
familiar with clean break rules.
Difference in Weight.
Montana Kid and Carpenter will stop
heavy training late today, exercising
slightly tomorrow and resting on
Thursday. Both are In excellent con-
dition and anxious for the sound of the
gong. Carpenter will weigh in at las
pounds and Montana Kid at 1873, the
Kid giving IL pounds to Carpenter, but
neither boxer considers this serious
disadvantage 1t is claimed by fans
that the boxers are so evenly matched
the go will last for the full 10 rounds,
forcing a decision on points.
The preliminaries are arranged and
the Tuttle- ellis go is expected to be
just as interesting as the main one on
the program. Mickey Morton has at
, tended to all of the details in connec-
ton with the program and expects to
handle big crowd.

ernor became public. When this news
decided to hold off action until the SEN
atorship was settled, for they believed
that If a contest was instituted it
would effect the state ticket and of
course should the Fremont county vote
be thrown out Governor Hawley would
be reelected and John M. Haines de-
feated. The governor. however, de-
cided not to go to the senate and the
charges were revived. They were
called to the attention Of Ben r. Gray.

mont county to investigate and make
a report He did. Then two Of the
leading Democrats Of Fremont county
came on to Boise. They are here now
in connection with the matter.
Attorneys Differ.
The Investigation conducted by the
attorneys into the legal features of a
contest seemed to point today to only
a legislative investigation, this inves-
tigation being confined to the county
ticket. 1t is claimed by other attorneys
that the investigation would question
the legality Of the entire ticket. They
cite the Goebel case of Kentucky.
II hav enothing whatever to do with
any reported contest, and know little
about it, stated Governor Hawley this
morning. Il met a party from Free
mont county late yesterday on the
streets and he spoke just briefly to me
about the matter. That is all know
about 1t. am not making an investi-
cation at all. The people have spoken
with reference to a governor and I am
willing to abide by their decision. OF
course II 1t can be shown wholesale
frauds were perpetrated. that is mat
ter that should be looked into"

Cannot Afford to Lose.
Boise has not only won the south

proud holder of the intermountain

Lake. To lose both in the Twin Falls
game for the championship OF south

From now on until the great Turkey
