Indian Agent
in This City

Geo. B. Haggctt, United States
Government Agent at the Duck
Valley reservation was in town yes
terday and found time to call on
Maverick and leave few impress
sions regarding his business here
and at the reservation. He came to
Mountain Home to inspect a ship
ment of 20, 600 pounds of flour for
the reservation and arrange for it's
transfer to Duck Valley.
Mr.. Haggett has been connected
with this dcpar tment of the govern
ment for number of years and
has been at Duck Valley for nearly
two years. During his time with
the Indians he has collected store
of information regarding their
habits, customs and trad itions
which is very interesting. He
stated that the present reservation
was the most peaceful and thrifty
that he has been connected with.
The Indians are made up of two
tribes, the Piutcs and the S TO-
shones. The Shoshoncs are more
quiet and contented than the Piutcs
who are restless and given to roam
ing. The former are content tc
settle down and cultivate their
lands and make homes but the lat
ter are still given to the hunt and
the chase and do very little farm
ing.
He stated that the school was
improving very rapidly and tina,
he had little or no trouble in get
ting parents to turn their children
over to him for the school. This
was doing great deal in turning
the Indian from his rowing anc
shiftless mode of living.
He stated that Indians who at.
tended the Elmore county fair are
still talking ABOUT the great even
and the good time they enjoyed
There were nearly three hundred
present and he is we'll satisfied
while in Mountain Home. H,
stated that it is an event the,
looked forward to during the yea
and the subject of much interes
among them.
Mr.. Haggett is very anxious t
see bridge built across the river
at a more convenient point for PEG
pie on that side for crossing on thei
way to Mountain Home. He join
in the popular belief that bridg
built at some point would open
large amount of business to Noun
tain Home and also assist great
in opening much of that countr
that is admirably adapted to cult
walton.
Mr.. Haggett left on the cvcnin
train for Boise where he wi
spend few days before returnin
to the reservation.

Plenty of Coal
Say the Dealers

While there is no present danger
of a coal shortage it is certainly
the best policy to place oneself
in a position where such turn
of affairs as that which occurred
last winter will not result in
suffering or Inconvenience. The
coal dealers of this town have
their storage bins full of coal and
it is their desire that people avail
themselves of the opportunity to
secure winters supply of fuel.
The dealers can store no more coal
here until they dispose of their
present stock Eventually you arc
going to use more coal than you
now have on hand. Get your " In
ter's stock and allow the dealers I
chance to again fill their bins

A numper of close friends of Mr.
and Mrs. J. d. Morris were their
guests on the 10th inst at a chicken
pie supper, the occasion being the
cornmeroration of the list birthday
of Mr.. Norris. Mr.. Morris, who
is one of the old timers of this sec

thirty as he related of the time
when he came across the plains on
the old overland trail caravan.
Things looked different in Idaho
when Mr.. Morris arrived forty
three years ago, and his relation of
events since that time would make
an interesting history.

SEWER SYSTEM AL
MOST A CERTAINTY.
Commercial Club To Take Matter Up FRI
day Night and Decisive Action
Is Expected.

iently to permit the building of
watcrworks.
If Captain Rbcades is correct in
mis- estimate that less than $50, 600
will build a water works and sew
eragc system, then in all probabili-
ty both can tc carried through this
year. The object in getting opin-
ions from outside engineers after
conference with Captain Rhoadcs
was to obtain the views Of those
gentlemen as to the plan proposed
by Captain Rhoadcs and to assist in
making the second report and esti-
mate of cost, and to prepare plats
showing the location of the main
sewer system and all its branches
so that every voter can study the
matter inteiligcntly.
1t is not necessary to confine the
town to bond issue of just $41,-
600, the amount its assessed valu-
alton will now permit A bond is
sue of fifty, sixty or even a hundred
thousand dollars may be voted, and,
as the assessed valuation increases
from year to year, the bonds can be
sold and the system extended The
cong csted part of town should first
be severed Not only is it most
needed there, but upon this portion
of the town the heaviest taxation
falls. If a main can be built
through that portion OF the town,
including the school and couri
houses, then laterals or branche:
can be built to the remotef distric
at nominal cost. Five or ten acres
of land will be donated out of the
S.W. or. of section 80, south O
town along Canyon Creek. On this
land a septic tank can be installed
If this tank is properly constructed
it will care for all refuse withou
damage to anyone. Thousands o.
such systems are in use today
!, Cities with populations ranging al
the way from 1000 to 200, 600 PEG
pie find them satisfactory in ever,

, them. These tanks, when pi opcrl'
built, absolutely consume every

Christmas Don IS

Don't leave the cost mark on
presents.
Don't let money dominate your
Christmas giving. Don't let
Christmas giving deteriorate into
trade.
Don't cmbarrass yourself by CIV
ing more than you can afford.
Don't try to pay debts or return
obligations in your Christmas CIV
ing. Don't give trashy things.
Many an attic could tell strange
stories about Christmas prescts.
Don't make presents which your
friends will not know what TO dc
with, and which would merely en-
cumbcr the home.
Don't give because others expect
you to. Give bccaues you love to.
If you cannot send your heart
with the gift, keep the gift.
Don't give too bulky articles te
people who live in small quar-
tiers, unless you know that they
need the particular thing you
sent them.
Don't wait until the last min
ute to buy your presents anc
then, for lack of time make prop
or selections, give what your bet
ter judgment condemns.
Don't decide to abstain from Civ
ing just because you cannot afforc
expensive presents. The thought
fulness of your gift, the interes
you take in those to whom 20,
give, are the principal things
The intrinsic value of your gift
counts very little.
Don't give things because the,
are cheap ard make big show 70
the money. AS rule it is dan
gerous thing to pick up lot of al
sorts of things at a bargain sail
for Christmas presents. II you do
there is always the temptation o
make inappropriate gifts. Beside
there is usually some defect in bar
gain artices or they are out of style
out of date, or there is some othe
reason why they are sold unde

The Mountain Home Commercial
Club met last Friday night to hear
reports of committees appointed to
look farther into several matters
before any definite action could be
taken, especially as to the actual
assessed valuation of property with
in the corporate limits of the city.
Mr.. Purtill, chairman of that COM
mittee, reported that the assess
ment roll showed the total assessed
valuation of real estate within the
corporate limits, for 1907 to be
1915, 900. The town may be bond
ed for Is per cent of this amount.
or about SAL, 900.
The question now up for inn
mediate consideration is: What
can we do with SAL, 900?
How far can we 60 and what por-
ton, if not all of the system can we
needed MIR. Howic outlined a
plan to organize the town into sew
cral districts and that the town
build the main trunk sewers; then
the several districts to connect with
the main trunk sewer from time to
time as desired. Just how the Diff
fcrcnt districts were to be connect
the city would pay for it was not
made clear by Mr.. HOWE. Mr.
Chattin took issue with Mr.. Howie,
claiming that if the main trunk
sewer were built by the people
generally that the connecting lat
eral sewers should be likewise paid
for by increasing the bonded indebt-
edness of the village from time to
time.
That Mountain Home needs and
must Immediately have a sewer
age, all were agreed, but much
data relative to the best and most
economical way to construct II
must first be obtained. We have
many living examples right here ir

sewerage systems that are unsatis'

Club that he would procure an en-
gineer from Boise, either Mr.. Wi

submit their report on Friday nigh
