About Registering.

Under the election laws OF
Idaho, registration for the primary
election closes August S, or thirty
days before the election. Poop lie,
who voted two years ago and still
reside in the precinct in which
they voted, need not register again
for this years elections.
After the primary election The
registration books will again be
opened to permit those, who fail to
register before the primaries, to
qualify for the general election in
November. Failure to vote at one
biennial election makes it nee es-
sary to register before voting at
the next.
People desiring to register must
do so before justice of the pea ce
or notary public.

"The instrument slightly resembled
a Scotch bagpipe decorated with bar
