RED CROSS WILL JET ABOUT S12

It was not exactly a baseball game that the White SoX and Pastimes staged on the Polk grounds yesterday afternoon but it had some semblance of the national pastime because it was played with the regulation sized ball, the players wore regular baseball uni forms, and all had gloves, although in many stages of the game they appar- ently had no use for the same Score, White SoX 19, Pastimes
 As was stated previously, the game was played for the benefit of the Red Cross chapter, all proceeds above the actual expenses of the game being given to that worthy cause. About SIP will accordingly be turned over to the chapter.

SEVERAL MINES NOW ACTIVE
Rescue Grinding Out the Ore-Work at

(By Joe B. Wade.)

Mr.. Charles Curtis, of Warrens, who
Is in the city attending court, reports
that the past year has been the most
prosperous that the Warrens mining dis
trict has had in the last twenty years
and that the present year would be
even better.
Mr.. Curtis said: "Twenty men are
now employed at the Rescue mine in
development work and taking out ore.

mately 800 feet exposing l foot of very
high grade ore, which has been drifted
on for distance of 700 feet. The
property is equipped with a Lane mill
which has capacity of Is tons every

lion produced last year was not made
public, it is known by residents of the
camp, to have been large. The Rescue
is owned by Boise people and is under
the management of Herbert Fryer.
Development work on the Little
Giant is progressing with a crew of
eight men. A cross cut tunnel SKI feet
IS being driven to tap the ledge at
depth of 700 feet. The tunnel when
completed will be 100 feet in length
of which 700 feet has now been driven.
The property is developed with about
2400 feet of tunnel and shaft workings
a greater part of which was done years
ago when the property was operated by
George Ribold. The vein is only four
to eight inches wide, but is enormously
rich, the value sometimes running into
the thousads. The mine, which is one
of the oldest locations in the Warrens
district has produced over 100000. The
old stamp mill, which has been on the
property for years will be sold and a
more modern mill installed this year.
The Little Giant is under the direct
management of Jay Czick.

Atty. E. M. Griffith and Ben Bunnell,
who have been attending the North
west Mining Congress, held at Spokane
last week, returned Sunday evening.
In Speaking of the session Attorney
Griffith stated: "The congress, which
lasted five days, was the greatest kind
of success. There was good atten.
dance and / want to say the coming
season is going to see the mining in
dustry come into its own. All were
optimistic and brought good reports.
With the present abundance of money
in the east seeking investments, the
high price of all metals had made the
mining field most promising one and
it is the gold property the majority of
them are interested in. Information ON
Idaho county mines was much sought
after and / want to say there is
mighty good reason to look forward to
activity of more than ordinary import
in this section the coming year.
The congress went on record favor
ing the erection of a smelter in or near

PRIMARY
ELECT|0NCOS7BY
NAIL VOTING
BILL INTRODUCED IN LEaIsL.A-
TURE AND NOW UP TO SENATE
FOR VOTING BY MAIL.
SAVE BIG EXPENSE TO STATE
Average Vote Costs S1.40-Bin Would
Reduce 1t 87Ha Per Cent-Do Away
With Costly Judges and Clerks

The Alfred primary bill which has
passed the house and is now in the
senate, is causing great deal of news
paper comment and discussion, and its
progress is being watched with a great
deal of interest.
The bill promises q sweeping reduc-
ton in the cost of the Idaho primary
over which there has been complaint
ever since its enactment. Figures show
that a primary election in this state
costs $ll2,220. Under the Alfred bill
this cost will be reduced to total of
but $l3,S40 for the entire state, 80 far
as the taxpayers are concerned. In
other words the state will save S98,3S0
Candidates will not be required to pay
for workers and conduct so strenuous a
campaign so that the cost to them will
amount to thousands of dollars.
Here at glance is what the Alfred
bill provides: Does away with the
present precinct. system of counting
Judges and clerks and voting places at
primary election; substituting in their
place the county recorder who mails
the ballots with proper return recep-
tacle envelopes and instructions to
qualified electors who are required to
mark their ballots and swear to them,
after which they are returned in the
receptacle to the county auditor; all
ballots issued are numbered and the
duplicate numbers checked on their re-
turn; when they have all been returned
the county commissioners sitting as
board of canvassers canvass the votes
for all the county and announce the re-
suit.
The cost of holding a primary cleo
ton in Idaho under the present sys-
tenn is an average of $1.40 per vote.
Under the proposed bill the cost to a
county of 10000 population will be 81
cents a vote. For the more isolated DIS
tricts the cost per vote for some coun-
ties is estimated at $50. Under the
Alfred bill the cost will be no greater
for the isolated vote than to the vote
recorded in the most thickly populated
section. The advantages aside from
these TO the candidates, the reduction in
the cost to the county and the state and
the more centralized way of gathering
the votes, will be great to the rurai
population which often finds it diff
cult to get to the polls, with the result
the primary election will be much
heavier under the proposed plan than
under the present system. In aaaifioh,
il is claimed, the average voter not
familiar with the candidates, VIII pe
given an opportunity to more ciosely
study their qualifications, exercise pe..
ter Judgment in selecting the pest men
and more deliberation in marking ms
or her ballot.
