Register for Primary Election

Saturday, August 5, 1916, will be
the last day to register for the prim-
ary election to be held on Tuesday,
September 5, 1916. Registrations are
prohibited for the thirty days pre-
ceding the primaries. You can regis
ter before any notary public, justice
of the peace, or before the clerk of the
district court. If you voted at the
last general election, held in Novem-
ber, 1914, no registration will be ne
cessary. Owing to the fact, however,
that the boundaries of all precincts
in Gem county have been changed, it
is likely that quite a number of
voters are not now residing in the
precincts in which they voted two
years ago. As to such voters, the
law provides for a transfer; and such
transfer certificate can be had before
any of the said registration officers
any time prior to August 6.

FORD CAR GOES ON A
JAMBOREE
McComsey's Car, Driverless,
Gets Loose, Knocks Owner
Down and Runs Over Him

Tom McComsey's Ford celebrated
the glorous 4th by enunciating a Dec
laration of Independence all its own
and sought to impress upon its owner
that the new declaration was not to
be trified with. As a result. Mr..
McComsey looks as if he had tackled
a buzz saw with the usual result. Be-
sides badly bruised and skinned face
and bounded arms, legs and adjoin-
ing portions Of his anatomy, his un-
derclothes were punctured in divers
places and his feelings sadly lacerated.
Mere words are poor things with
which to tell the story as Mac tells
it. One might as well attempt to de-
scribe an Idaho sunset, a storm in the
mountains, the scene from Freezeout
Hill or the thoughts of a boy whose
clothes have been stolen while he was
in swimming against his mothers
orders. 1t simply can't be done. For
Macs is picturesque language at all
times, and especially so when he is
routed "horse, foot and dragoon," by
such an innocent and meek appearing
contraption as that invented by Henry
Ford, the noted peacemaker. But
We'll do the best we can, and here
goes:
Mac was honored with the chair
manship of the committee on sports
for the Payette celebration. He does
MT belong at Payette any more, but
that didn't make any difference. As
he was due there at 10 o'clock in the
morning of the Fourth, he set out in
his trusty Ford bright and early. As
he mad promised to take along several
old friends living on Willow creek,
his journey took him that way. At
the VanDeusen ranch on Succor creek,
he got out of the car to inquire about
the road, leaving his engine running.
Right then and there the machine for
got the pacifist teachings of its maker.
With both feet on the accellerator and
both hands pumping air into the gas
oline tank it cut loose, and when it
reached the barn yard gate which Mac
was trying to open the speedometer
was registering 40 miles minute. With
q wild snort it hit Mac right back of
the front buckle of his belt, knocked
him down, kicked him and walked all
over him. Then it broke for the gate,
smashed it and headed for Payette
full tilt.
Was Mac downhearted over this un- !
grateful action of the now bellicose
Ford? Not on your life. Mac is
Irish with sprinkling of Scotch, and
with the characteristics of those races
never knows when he is licked Quick
ly regaining his feet he ran the Ford
down, jumped into the car and applied
the brakes. 1t was stopped within a
few feet of deep gulch. Despite his
injuries, Mac contiued his journey to
Payette and arrived there too late to
assume his duties as conductor of the
sport program, but happy that he got
there alive.

Party of 20 Celebrates Fourth Be-

The Commercial Club excursion to

successful one. Seventy tickets were

port good time and a hospitable

band added greatly to the pleasures
of the entertainment of those attend
ing the celebration and it was given
a rousing reception. The only dis
appointment was that Guy B. Mains
arrived too late to deliver his speech.
but he will put it in cold storage for
a future occasion.

Niphi Marshal Resigns

Bert Sargent rendered his resigna-
ton as night police officer, and it
was accepted. Mr.. Sargent's reason
for resigning was that his salary was
inadequate. His services have been
satisfactory and there was no friction
between the council and himself. But
the officials decided that they were
unwilling to pay more than $50 per
month and therefore accepted Mr..
Sargent's resignation, to take effect
as soon as another man could be Sc
cured to take his place.

NJ. A. Ross was present to request

cloudburst at her home near Wasco,

no more. The Valiant racing at full
speed crushed the back of a U-boat
which attempted to cross its path. Two
torpedoes, one on e ach side, ripped
into the British destroyer Shark, and
it sank as its commander with one
leg shattered crawled to a gun and
fired final blow at the enemy.
Night came and the battle continued
Shippers many miles away saw the
glow of burning ships reflected in the
sky. About midnight one of the Ger
man ships sent up an extraordinarily
bright focket, and Immediately the
German fleet turned and fled with the
British at its heels.
The ships, with lights out, kept
their searchlights on the fleeing enem-
les and rained sheels upon them, the
Germans replying with their after
guns. The Frauenlob went down when
a torpedo crashed through its engine
room. Gradually the chase was aban-
aoned. Dawn, and ships passing
the North Sea plowed thru
and bodies. Here and there
were floating mines, and large spots
IF oil, and half submerged life boats.
