GEM COUNTY ELECTION
MAY II
Commissioners in Both Canyon
and Boise Counties Make
Arrangements

Final arrangements for the election
on the question of creating Gem coun-
ty were made by the Canyon county
commissioners at their session Thurs
day. The election is to be held May
II.
In preparing for the election it was
necessary to rearrange one election
precinct. Stuart precinct is divided,
the two portions being made parts of
Hanna and Bramwell precinct. Sec
tions A, 9, and 16 of township Z, are
added to the Hanna district, Sections
21, %, 81 and % of township 7 and
A, 9, and 16 of township are made
part of Bramwell precinct.
Election boards which served at
the last general election will serve
and the voting places will be the same
Attention was called to the fact that
the new law requires a residence of
90 days in the territory in which
this vote it taken. In general cleo
tion the requirement is but 80 days
but it is understood that the new law
is framed purposely to check possible
attempts to carry such an election by
means of floaters.
In Boise county, the voting precincts
are Pearl, Montour, Sweet, Ola and
Gross.

NO REGISTRATION REQIRED
Voters at Gem County Election Need
Not Register

The Gem County legislative act con-
tained no provision providing that
voters at the election must be reg
istered. In order to clear up the
question as to who are entitled to vote,
County Clerk Knowlton submitted the
question to Attorney General Peter
son. His opinion is that any quail
field voter who has been resident of
the new county for 80 days should
have the right to vote at said election
without regard to whether his name
appears upon any registration list or
not. Mr.. Peterson says upon this
point:
st seems to be reasonably clear,
since this election is exempted from
the provisions Of the general law with
reference to the registration of voters,
and nothing is provided in the act to
be effective in place of the general
statutory provisions, that it was not
intended that those entitled to vote at
the said special election should be
registered prior thereto.
"Elections must be held in the
several precincts in the territory in
volved, and they must be held IN
general conformity with the election
statutes Ol lie OLdIc, DuI IL oSShio
to have been the intention of the Leg
islature that any qualified elector
residing in said territory should have
the right to vote at said election, sub
ject, of course, to challenge as to his
residential and other qualifications,
without regard to whether his name
appears upon any registration list or
not.
"This being true, it seems to follow
that Sec. 26 of the said Act, which
prescribed the duty of the county
clerks of Canyon and Boise counties
with reference to providing for the
said election, will not require them to
send to the election judges of the pre-
cincts now in their respective counties,
but which it is provided to include
either wholly or in part in the new
county, poll lists of the registered
voters in such precincts.

TO CUT FREEZEOUT HILL
Grade of Wagon Road to be Reduced
Nearly Half


R. E. Rose, president of the Com
merical club, has tackled Freezeout
hill and is planning to reduce the
grade of the wagon road from Is to
g per cent or better. He is confident
of success.
During the last three years, under
the supervision of Road Supervisor
Findley, that hill has been improved
greatly and it is pretty good road
now. But Mr.. Rose believes there is
still room for improvement, and he
has received such encouragement and
Cmers OF assistance that he has had
measurements and profiles made and
is prepared to demonstrate that the
grade can be reduced nearly one-half
at a reasonable expense. The steep
est grade is now 10 per cent, En-
gineer Knowles measurements prove
that the grade can be reduced to 9 per
cent or less at the steepest point.
The dirt that would be taken off
can be showed over the sides of the
road, thus widening the road so that
vehicles may pass each other.
The travel over this road is heavy
at all seasons of the year, and esDe-
cially so during the fruit season when
produce is hauled to neighboring
towns to be marketed. In most cases
four horses are required to pull load
over the hill. Ranchers in the Willow
creek country now travel to Star and
Middleton to trade, instead of coming
to Emmett, because of the steep grade
over Frezeout. The contemplated
improvement would not only be a
great benefit to farmers in this val
lev, but would add largely to the trade
of Emmett merchants. President
Rose should receive the encourage
ment and support of the entire En-
NETT country
