0 the Voters OF Malta, Sublett,
Bridge and Clear Greek:
To the voters of the Raft River
alley the removal of the County
eat from Albion to Burley presents
pecial inducements. The Raft river
ne will give transportation from
our very door to the county seat If
GU locate it in Burnley, while at the
resent time it is a tremendous eff
Qrt on your part to visit the county
eat to attend to your own matters,
IT to serve as witnesses or on the
ury. Nearly every term of court
lees many of your inhabitants in
Albion, serving as jurors. and doing
your duty in general as citizens.
Each of these men have had to
make trip of from twenty to forty
miles by team, and your expense
While in the county seat, by your
having to keep your team in the
livery barn, exceeds the amount you
draw in serving as a juror. Ii you
could step on the train, go to Burnley
|and return when your work is ended,
you would save trouble, time and MOI
ley. In addition to that, many of you
people OF the Raft River Valley are
the time when Cassia
county will be so wealthy that di-
vision of the county will be to the
best interest Of all of its inhabitants
whenever such division is made,
it, is your desire and hope to locate
the county seat in the Raft River
Valley. One of the best arguments
that you could present to the legis
lature to secure such division,
would be the fact that your county
seat is at one side of the county,
and as the county is so long and
so wide, it would be advantageous to
have new county with the county
seat close at hand
Another inducement for you Il
vote for Burnley is, If Albion wins
this fight, she will Immediately
build new buildings. if they have to
do it out of their own pockets
When the county is divided, with
good and substantial buildings at
Albion, the legislature must by law,
come to Burnley with his attorney,
leave the county seat at Albion
Should you then desire county
seat in your valley, you would be up
against the same kind of fight
Burnley now has on her hands, and in
addition to that, you would be con
fronted with the fact that Albion has
permanent buildings.
To the Voters of Elba, Almo and
Moulton
The argument set forth to the
voters of the Raft River Valley is APP
plcable to you. While IL is true
that you will be some distance from
the Raft River Line, since your trad
Ing point will be on that road il will
be far easier and better for you to
drive to your trading point, only
Few miles away, and take the train
to Burley, than 1t will be for you in
The future TO have to drive from
thirty to sixty miles TO reach Albion |
When you go to cast your vote, the |
same question will confront you as
does all of the other precincts, and |
that is, Progress, development. While |
you live a long distance from either |
Albion or Burnley, we believe that you
will recognize the necessity of the |
County Seat being moved to Burley |
and have the county accept Burley's |
court house as a home
To the Voters of Oakley:
When Burley first started into the |
campaign to remove the county seat |
from Albion to Burnley, she was as
sured of every support from Oakley. |
The only discussion that arose was |
hat If the county seat was moved |
10 Burley new court house would |
have to be erected. Burley met your /
objection on this part by donating an
ample and substantial court house.
Another argument that was raised by |
some, was the additional expense
he county would be to. In this is
sue OF your paper, We have taken the
cams TO show you that the county
government could be run on less ex-
'ense in Burnley than in Albion You
ire connected with Burley by rail-
Dad, and can come TO Burnley any day
n one hours time. To go to Albion
would consume the entire day. Your
interest and the interest of Burnley
