Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1908-03-26
Editor Maverick

Dear Sir: In answer TO your re-
quest of yesterday for letter stat
ing my position or what steps, il
any, would be taken by me relative
to the slanderous article appearing
in this weeks Republican, would
say: / have lived in Mountain
Home nearly ten years, every
moment of which time has been
spent in lettering the community,
hence | am perfectly willing to
pass the proposition to the people
for judgement, relying upon their
love of fairness at all times to rcnd-
er a Just decision. They are the
Judges IS to wether or not my in
tentions have been sincere. 'By
their works ye shall know them. -
Everyone in Mountain Home who
has taken the time to consider and
to read carefully the article knows
that it was instigated and inspired.
Mr.. Culver should not be too severe
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1908-03-26

ly criticized for several reasons.
First, he is not capable of writing
such an article and in the second
place he and his paper are on their
last legs financially and few dir
ty dollars did the work.
have raised in the last 10 years
upwards of three quarters of a mill
lion dollars, every dollar of which
has in some manner, directly or in
directly, benefited the people of
Mountain Home.
The larger the man the more suscept-
ible he is to attack. The little man
whose head never crops above the
short grass is left securely alone for
the reason that there would be moth
ing gained by attacking him. A
few OF my enemies have an ak to
grind and are grinding it
at the expense of every man, woman
and child in this community.
What have they to offer the PEG
pie of this vicinity after putting to
death this fearful octopus-the
Great Western Beet Sugar company.
The Great Western Beet Sugar
Company, myself and associates
will be found boosting for Noun
tain Home and Southern Idaho long
after this cotcrie of knockers are
entirely forgotten.
Our pay roll at the present mo-
mcnt is $500 per day and within
ten days a lateral will be complete d
to the land of every man wanting
water for irrigation this season.
Within ten days the water from
Camas Prairie will be flowing into
the Mountain Home reservoir and
before May LIST all three reservoirs
will be filled to overflowing and
there will be surplus water to spare
Notwithstanding the dryest season in
twenty years. BY May, work will
be commenced on the Lime Greek
reservoir and if nothing prevents il
should be completed by January /,
1909.
Further than this have nothing
to say. leave it to the taxpayers,
the law abiding citizens and my
friends OF Mountain Home and FL
more county.
Yours very truly.

TO REDUCE CAPITAL STOCK
Directors of Baxter Bank Propose
Pay 100000 Back to
Stockholders,

Rutland, Aug. 31.-The directors of
the Baxter National bank have issued a
circular to the stockholders calling a
meeting for Tuesday, September 30, for
the purpose of reducing the capital stock
of the bank. In speaking Of the pro-
posed move DIR. John A. Mead president
of the bank, said:-
"This is something which we have had
under consideration for more than three
years. Our bank is capitalized at $780,
0OO, and this is an enormous sum to pay
dividends on in town of this size. The
deposits in the Baxter bank amount to
about $500, 900 and with this we have
to earn money for interest on depos-
its and dividends on stock and is an i'm
mense undertaking, when people can
hire any amount at and AZ per cent
1--WE propose, at the coming meeting,
to reduce the capital stock to 5000, 900;
paying 100000 is the first step toward
reducing the stock of the bank to $780,
600 and organizing a trust comany with
a capital stock of 100000. Most of the
directors are of the opinion that it will be
better to pay larger dividend on small
Ter capital stock than to have such an
enormous surplus"

FRIDAY AT THE FAIR.
Gov. Proctor Comes to Town, and
Gems. Foster Drops In-Races
Most Interestinu.

Addison County fair was favored with
visit from the governor, as well as a
look-in by Representative Foster, both
stopping but short time.
There was an immense crowd on the
grounds, about $4,000 people attending
on Friday. Children were admitted free
on the last day. 1t is safe to say that
there were about 45, 900 admissions to the
fair.
The young people from the Vergennes
Industrial school made an excellent
showing. The whole school of about $50
children pleased their immense audience
by singing from the stage.
The 2:35 pace was called at two
o'clock and although the horses battled
for several hours, it was not finished.
The free-for-all was also put over until
Saturday morning after the horses failed
to settle the matter in six heats. In
Judex, James Farley, drove his horse
directly in the path of Jenny w. while
on the home stretch. The judges de-
clared this act a violation of the ma
tional trotting rules and disqualified Mr..
Farley and his horse from the race.
The time of :0S4 made in the first heat
by Judex is the fastest time ever made
in Vermont on half-mile track and the
second fastest ever made on half mile
track in New England, the local record
of 2:13a being lowered to 2:0S3.
