Hut that the Index is here to stay and
should be in even 7 home in the upper
Payette valley. It has done more to -
bring this section to the favorable at
tention of the outside world during
the few short months of its existence
than all other agencies during the
past ten years. The Index seeks to
harmonize and blend together any and
all neighborhood factions and discords
which may have heretofore existed.
It has no enemies to persecute or
wrongs to avenge and is a clean local
paper meriting the support of every
