Canyon COUNTY Division.

Another county division bill wa.
introduced in the house yesterda,
morning fathered by Lewis of Can
yon. The bill proposes the organiza
ton of Payette county from a di-
vision of Canyon, with New Ply
mouth as the county seat. The
new county would become a part OF
the Seventh judicial district and
the Ninth senatorial district. The
bill proposes to divide Canyon coun-
~ along the watershed between
the Boise and Payette valleys. The
bill will be known as No. SO.
The introduction of this bill
shows the utter inconsistency of
Lewis and French, members from
the Payette valley. These gentle
men absolutely refused to intro
duce or support any other division
Of Canyon county, though request
I'd to do so by at least a two
thirds majority of the voters of the
'alley, but are now giving their
nd to the New Plymouth bill, |
which has the backing of only a
mall minority of the voters and
S in the interest of New Ply
mouth only Their actions are be-
n generally condemned.

WOULD CHANGE PRI-
MARY LAW
Changes Date and Makes
Judiciary Non-Partisan---
Payette County Bill

bill to amend the present pri
mary law has been prepared anC
Will be acted upon at this session
of the legislature.
This bill provides for a mum ber
of important chanes in the present
law. First of these is the change in
date from the last Tuesday In July
to the first Tuesday in September.
Nomination by petition is to be
eliminated. 1t is also provided that
where a person files his own nom
nation papers no acceptance of the
nomination need be filed by him.
| Nonpartisan nomination of judg g
is provided for. A column is re-
CURED on all party ballots in which
are to be placed under the proper OF
fetal designation, but without re-
gard to party designation of any
kind, the names of all candidates
for judicial positions under state
oyernment. Provisions is also made
for non-partisan column on the
general election ballot in which
the names of all candidates for
judicial positions are to be car
ried
Provision is also made on thel
primary ballot for the election of
precinct committeeman of the diff
ferent parties, and these are to j
be members of the county central
committees of the opposing parties.
Most interest will, of course, CEN
ter in the provision in the new
bill providing for the compulsion of
every voter supporting his own
party. Each elector at the time he
o fers to vote must call for the
ballot of that party of which he is
a member. He will be given his par
ty ballot and no other. Right to
challenge voters who undertake to
vote outside their own party is pro.
vided for, and the form of oath to
be taken is given.
one other provision of the new I
bill will meet with general favor
which is the one that makes it i'm
possible for any man after voting
1t primary election to sign a petit
Ion to nominate candidate a.

Emmett Girl Writes interestingly of
Experiences in Tennessee

Miss Edith Huff, daughter of Mrs
w. J. Allen of this city, who has

letter to Emmett friends, describ-

eve are living in a wee log cabin
perched precariously on the side of
a mountain that slopes alarming
ly. Our spring is a clear, cold,
sparkling little pool at the foot of
the mountain. We are here for a
period of eight weeks. Our work
consists in visiting the people all
We can and in getting them out to
see us. There has been division
which was almost ieud. but it
seems to be bridged. We have
been received everywhere in a kind
ly way, and families which have
been openly hostile to the work
have opened their homes to us.
"The home of one OF these fam
iiies is a wonderful old place high
among the mountains. They live
in roomy log house, with an i'm
mense fireplace built almost en-
tirely of petrified wood. They have
a loom and spinning wheels and
not only spin their own yarn, but
weave 1t as well. There are six
girls at home-the youngest aged
20-and all are sweet and gentle.
They all weave and they showed us
some of the most wonderful wooleI
tcoverlids. they call
them) One, a blue and white, is
the prettiest I've ever seen. They
also showed us some quilts. Won
