There was very strong applause
for a suggestion that the street car
in Washington should
be met BY municipal operation Of the
lines so that the people could obtain
a 5-cent fare and both lines be run
under one management This is paPt,
at least, OF the plan advocated by
Conrad Syme, who believes Congress
could force a consolidation Of the
lines that would hold fares down to
5 cents The sentiment exhibited
was undoubtedly for municipal opera

Mr.. Ham suggested that one means
Of holdfa- down car fares was TO

the constant care of her daughter who
knew no sacrifice imposed by filial
duty.
Mother Warrington was born al
Georgetown, Ohio, and spent her early
life in that state. She was reared IL

fastly adhered throughout the vicisi-
tudes of long lifetime the latter
part of which was attended by pitiable
invalidism and much suffering. She
was the last of her immediate family
and is survived by only a daughter
and son Mrs. Burt Venable of Pay
cite, and Mr.. w. C. Boyer of Silver
Greek, Neb. She leaves five grand
children and six great-grandchildren.

CITY ELECTION
QUIET AFFAIR

The city election last Tuesday was
the first election in Payette in years
when the people seem to be of one
accord. There was but one ticket fill
ed and naturally but little interest tax
en- in the election and but 118 votes
cast which means the reelection OF
the mayor and council and city clerk.
Had there been any great amount Of
dissatisfaction with the past two years
administration another ticket would
have been placed in the race. DIR. l.
R. Woodward as mayor for the city Of
Payette during the past two years
has served the people on his own best
judgement and has given absolute
universal satisfaction as is shown by
no opposition in the election. The
same may be said of the six council
men who have worked as one man for
the betterment of the affairs of Pay
etts. While the duties involved upon
these men have been done by separate
committees, yet they have worked in
perfect harmony, and have accom-
plished much good for the people Of
Payette. AS to the city clerk, NJ. o.
