Fins Muslins.

Very fine muslins should be soaked
in tepid water in which borax has been
dissolved; one teaspoonful of borax
to a gallon of water being sufficient.
After half an hour they can be
rubbed gently in soap suds made of
fine white curd soap. Boiling water
is then poured over them and allowed
to cool.
They should be we'll rinsed and
squeezed rather than wrung out.

The second convention of the
Elmore county Republicans was
held at Glenns Ferry this morn
ing and, while not all OF the
precincts were represented, it
-~was apparent that there will be
complete harmony in the party
this year, which makes a Re-
publican victory at the polls a
practical certainty. Mountain
Home was represented at this
convention by J. W. Caldwell,
0. E. Norell, H. C. McBirney
and J. F. Schoenecke, three of
those elected to go failing to
wake up early enough in the
morning to catch the train.
VIM, Pickerell, until recently a
resident of Atlanta, but now
temporarily here, attended
the convention as Atlanta's
sole delegate and cast the vote

who was unable to be present.

from Cold Springs, and Emil

One of the most important

ling the project and if he were
let alone he could win out in
the face of hard times, drought
and knockers all combined.
Attorney Hawley, taking up
the argument for the plaintiff,
made an attempt to meet the
contention of the company's
attorneys regarding the right
to authorize receivers certifi-
Gates, but was so evidently un-
prepared for that point that
his rather vague and uncertain
remarks made apoor impression
on both Court and spectators.
Judge Walters manifested in
several ways his willingness to
be shown how he could give
such authority, but under the
showing made by the plaintiff,
ne could not possibly come to
any other decision than he did,
namely, no receivership should
be granted at this time. The
decision was based primarily on
the theory, as advanced by the
company's attorneys, that the
authorization of receivers GER
tificates would be illegal, unless
the company were a quasi-pub-
lie service corporation. Not
having been shown that this
was the case, Judge Walters
very properly concluded that
the naming of the receiver
would be unwise, as he could
not possibly raise funds to carry
on the business, much less to
extend the system.
At the time of the hearing
Henry Hewitt, Jr., holder of
the first mortgage of $4,000
against the company stated,
through his attorney, that he
would not foreclose his mort
gage until next April, thus CIV
ing the company additional
time to meet this obligation.
He also agreed to furnish an
additional $4,000 in cash at this
time to be used for construction
work. On the strength of this
cash, construction work on the
Camas dam has been COM
and it is understood
that this dam will be raised sew
eral feet, thus giving that reser-
voir a much greater capacity.
To insure the payment of the
men for this work, Mr.. Hewitt
has not paid over this money to
the company, but has deposited
it subject to the order Of Con-
tractor Ben Query himself.

Monday was a great day for
Mountain Home. When it be.
came known last week that
Judge Walters had appointed
that day to hear and determine
the several applications that
had been made to him for the
appointment of a receiver for
the Great Western Beet Sugar
company considerable interest
was manifested on all sides and,
when the honr set for the hear
ing arrived, the court room was
packed to the limit. The vet
eran Boise attorney, James H.
Hawley, presented the case for
the first applicant, c. F. Wheel
'er, who in his complaint filed
some days previous, had al
legged that the company had
been grossly mismanaged and
was practically insolvent and
unable to pay its debts. A num-
Der of aflidavitswere introduced
and read, tending to back up
the allegations of the complaint.
At this point the Court took a
recess until evening, when the
the company's attorneys w G..
Howie and E. j. Dockery were
heared in opposition to the ap-
plication. The affidavits intro
duced tended to show that the
company was not insolvent, but
only temporarily embarrassed by
lack of funds and further that
the funds were now obtainable
and that if the application for
a receiver was denied, the COM
pany would be able to secure
these funds, go on with the
work and in due time complete
the system and pay all debts.
Following the introduction of
the affidavits, Attorney Dock
cry made an argument in be-
half of the company. His main
fontention was that even Aif a
should be appointed,
he would be practically unable
to do anything with the proper
ty of the company on account
of the lack Of funds, it being
beyond the power of the Court,
he argued, to authorize the is
suance of receivers certificates,
More than that, he urged upon
the Court the inexpediency of
naming receiver at this time,
that Garrett was just
at the point of success in hand J
