rary court house upon lots three an

FOR FIVE YEARS and for such az
ditional time as the county shout
desire by the county paying the II
,erest on the small mortgage tina
will be against the building. TIL
plans of the building have bee
placed in conspicuous places all owe
/ the county. and can be seen In near

show good faith, the citizens of Bur
ley have purchased and filed bone
In the penal sum Of $4,000, giveI
by the Title Guaranty & Surety Com
pany of Scranton Pennsylvania
We are not furnishing persona
bond as some of the voters of the
county would infer. This bond Is
issued by the Surety Company. rec
ognized by the statutes of Idaho. and
by the same Surety Company which
it today furnishing the bond for Cas-
STA county's Treasurer. In addition
to this, bond, the citizens of Burley
arc giving another in the sum Of ST.
1000, running for five years, that when
the new building is completed, 1t will
be furnished to the county OF Cassia
for five years, without cent charge
or rcnt. If any taxpayer is in doubt
as to the sincerity of Burley, let him
and we will show him that the bond
is a good and legal one, and that
1.-THE intent of the citizens of Burley
is bona fide.
Cassia county is without a Jail that
will hold any kind OF desperate man
Any man, unless devoid or arms or
legs can go thru the present jail at
his will. The new building donated
by the citizens of Burley will have
ample room in it for a Jail. The
county already owns the steel cells,
and all that will be necessary Will
be to load them upon the wagon
and bring them along with the coun-
ty offices. install them in the new
building, and they will have jail
that will hold the most desperate
criminal, and this without any extra
cost.
r Development
l Burley and vicinity are in an era
Of development. Burley and the
} Minidoka Project today, pay AZ per
, cent of the taxes of Cassia county.
BY virtue of the three year home
stead law, recently passed, by the
3 United States, all of the land on
: the South Side Minidoka Project will
! soon be under patent. This will in
t crease the valuation of the MinidOka
2 Project some two millions of dollars.
e Take into consideration the growth
: CT Burley. 1t is very conservative to
r say that two years from today, Bur-
a ley and the Minidoka project will pay
!, 65 per cent of the total taxes of
: Cassia county If you take into con-
n sideration the amount of tax that
I she pays today, and the amount that
J, she will pay two years from today,
s and permit the county seat to 60 into
e that community who pays for run
: ming the county and state govern
e ment. Mr.. Voter, the Burley is en-
II titled to your vote at the coming
n election. II Burey loses the county
r seat fight, it will in no way retard
z her growth. 1t would only mean that
e so per cent of the people. paying 50
v per cent of the taxes will be denied
the right of having their county gov
eminent at place easily accessible,
T. and a place that is, on its merits,
n Justly entitled to it.
IS Accommodations.
If One of the important things to be
D. taken into consideration by the vot-
Y. er on November 9Th is the accommo-
If dations that Burley can now give to
n its patrons. Her hotels and restau-
,r rants are ample to supply the needs
" of large crowds Jurors. witnesses
v. and attorneys during sessions of the
,e court can be comfortably housed and
pr fed Jurors and witnesses often have
a lot of time hanging on their hands
h when in attendance to a term OF
n court. If the county seat was in Bur
h ley, they would find many places o.
lie amusement and entertainment Il
s. while away the hours. Burnley II
e, we'll supplied with picture shows ant
D. theaters, and there is hardly nigh
is OF the week that there is not some
nv thing going on in the entertainment
er line Convenience and comfort shoul'
a be taken into consideration, Mr.. Tax
ey payer. because maybe you have al
o. ready been on jury if not. yo'
ne are likely to be soon and you know
re what it Is to be housed up in
o. small town. with no place of enter
he tainment, with inferior hotels an
ia poor places to eat.
