TOWNSHIP ELECTION.

The Stambaugh primary on Monday,
for the selection Of township officers
for the ensuing year. was one of the
hottest we have had in several years.
over 500 votes were cast, resulting in
the selection OF the following ticket

Naturally number OF those VINO
were defeated tor the different offices
telt somewhat sore and concluded to
get up an opposition ticket A full
ticket, with the exception OF CLERK
and overseer. was selected and filed
with the township board The board
met last evening and after the matter
mad been thoroughly discussed by both
sides decided TO refuse TO allow the
second ticket to appear on the official
ballot. on the ground that those taking
part in the second primary had also
taken part in the first primary. either
ia the capacity of officials or voters
and were therefore not eligible to par
ticipate in another primary for the
purpose of selecting township Offices,
inasmuch as no charges OF traud had
been made against those taking part
in the fisrt primary.
Talk OF injunction proceeding were
rife this morning, but nothing will
probably be done, as the action of the
township board is upheld by many OF
our people.

UP IN THE AIR.

Meeting at eleven o'clock yesterday
morning. the board of city commis-
sioners "gassed' about the gas prop
osition until noon, when a recess
was taken to two O'Clock. Coming
to order at two the discussion OF the
matter was again taken up and
re-threshed until late hour in the
afternoon, While spirit of baseball
unrest filled the air.
The manager of the Idaho Okla
homa Oil company, DR.. Skillern, was
present and he together with the
mayor and board members entered
into all the details of the proposed
taking over by the city of the output
of the big gasser in the Wheeler
fields.
No satisfactory conclusion being
arrived at, the board finally instruc-
ted Attorney Hefner, the city coun-
selor, to draw up proposition on
the part of the city, for submission
to the Idaho-Oklahoma people, through
DR.. Skillern, their legal representa-
tive here. This proposition Of the
city will be presented to the board
of commissioners by the city attor-
ney as soon as complete and, if it
meets with their approval will be
submitted in turn, as stated, to the
gas people.
Mr. Hefner, assisted by other able
lawyers, is at work upon this paper
today. 1t was stated at the city hall
this morning. that as soon as the
proposition was ready for submission
the mayor would call the commits
soners together in extra session to
pass upon, approve. or reject the
proposition after which the matter
would again be taken up with the
representative of the Idaho-Oklaho-
ma people and the citizens commit
tee appointed some three months
ago by the president of the Industrial
association. AS soon as a satisfac-
tory agreement can be arrived at by
and between the legal representatives
of all parties concerned, the question
will be submitted to the qualified vo-
ters of the city for final action.
