Trathen again called the club to or
der and announced that there was
another matter to be considered by
the members. Secretary Siffert
then read the resolutions denounc-
ing the editorial of the Rebuplican.
c. H. Lambeton at once moved that
the resolutions as read be adopted,
but befoe a second was received E.
c. Helfrich raised the point of or
der that the club could not consider
the resolution as in so doing 1t
would be taking up the affairs of
one individual as opposed to an
other; that such action was not in
keeping with the spirit of the club
and that he believed the constitu-
tion was such that an action of this
kind would not be permissible
The chair overuled this point of or
der and Mr.. Helfrich appealed to a
decision of the voters. At this
juncture A. A. Adams raised the
point of order that the club could
not at this time properly take ac-
tion upon any matter as the meet
ing had regularly adjourned and
many members who were entitled
to voice in the proceedings had
departed. Mr. Trathen sustained
MIR. Adams in this and announced
that the resolutions would be taken
up at special meeting of the Com
mercial club to be held the follow
ing evening
Although during the following
day an attempt was made through
circular written by Mr. Adams
and printed by the Republican, to
mislead the public into thinking the
matter of considering the resolu
tions was to be brought before a
mass meeting and not before the

TO BRING WATER
FROM LIME CREEK
Important Matter to Be Taken up by
Commercial Club at Next
Meeting.

The friends of the Great Western
Beet Sugar company have thought
out proposition which, in Nlc
opinion of our leading citizens, will
forever eliminate the preverbial
dry year whish once in q while os-
ours in this as well as in ether
countries.
Everyone who has been in upper
Elmorc county is conversant with
the fact that Lime creek is strean
OF enormous size even at the drycst
season of the year and that it's
spring flood flow amounts to moth
ing less than a river.
To connect Lime creek with the
head waters of Cat creek and the
Camas Prafie reservoir requires the
building OF only 115 miles of canal.

Last Friday evening the CONNER
cial club of Mountain Home met in
regular session with the largest at
tendance of members and visitors in
its history.
Although several matters of more
or less importance were before the
club for consideration, general in
terest in its proceedings has been
aroused by the report that the club
was to be asked at this mestiag TO
consider passing resolutions against
an editorial published in the Noun
tain Home Republican of March IS
and attacking the Management of
the Great Western Beet Sugar CON-
pany Of this city. Much indigna-
tion had result ted from the editorial
of the Republican whick was
deemed entirA unjust and the re-
| suit of personal feeling on the part
of the editor of the Republican
against~the company. Consequently,
several representative members of
the clsb feeling that it was more
than matter of differences between
individuals and that 1t directly af-
fected the interests of the whole
city, had determined to bring the
matter to the attention of the Com
msrcial club.
Unfortunately through naisun-
derstsHding on the part of the one
who was to intrdacs the rcsolu-
ton, the chairmsn and president
of the club, Thomas Trathen, after
other matters up for consideration
had been disposed of. entertained a
motion for adjournment, which
was seconded and carried, before
the matter of introducing the rcso-
lutions was brought to the attention
of the chair

ans presented a jumble of so-called
facts and incidents in connection
with the Great Western Beet Sugar
company with which he evidently
thought to mislcad those present
and create an adverse sentiment
against. the company. With form
idable array of newspapers, maga-
zines, advertising matter, letters
and documents Mr.. Adams sought to
lead the people in clamoring mob
to the doors of the Great Western
Beet Sugar company's office de-
manding blood as well as water.
He succeeded in arousing a very
mild interest in his talk and in
showing that the Mountain Home
Commercial club had been guilty OF
the heinous crime of advertising
the Great Western Beet Sugar COM
pany. AS to what he would have
not state, Mr.. Adams demon
strated chiefly that personally and
for reasons which he did pot fully
state he was very much opposed to
the company.
Following MIR. Adams speech
talks were made by Attorney Wolfe,
E. ]. Dockery and E..J. Colthorpe,
but probably the sentiment of the
meeting was most clearly defined
by c. H. Lamberton who stated to
the meeting that he was the owner
of water rights for 100 acres under
the canal system here; that he was
very we'll satisfied with his invest
ment and that if he and other wat
er users we're satisfied with the
canal company he could see no rca-
son why Mr.. Adams should be
creating excitement in their behalf.
An attempt was made by Mr..
Adams and Mr.. Bradford to pass a
resolution declaring the meeting in
favor of the free and unmuzzlcd
press. Attorney Wolfe moved that
this resolution be amended to show
the meeting in favor of an unmuz-
zled press but regretting the publi-
cation of the editorial in the Re-
publican of March IS. In this
form the resolution was passed by
huge majority, after which the
meeting adjourned.
The result of the mass meeting,
although called by the enemies of
the Beet Sugar compsnv accom-
plished the object of showing that
public sentiment in Mountain Home
is overwhelmingly in favor of John
H. Garrett and the Great Western
Beet Sugar company.

Commercial club, the club met at
8 80 in the evening as announced
by Mr.. Trathen and Immediately
upon being called to order the copy
of the resolutions was ordered read.
E. c. Helfricn objected to the club
taking up the matter upon the same
grounds which he had outlined the
evening before. The chair overruled
MIR. Helfrich' point and upon his
appeal submitted it to a vote of the
members. BY a vote of 10 to 27
the club decided to consider the res
olutions and when a motion was
made, following the count, to adopt
the resolution as read, twas passed
with but few dissenting votes.
In the meantime, A. A. Adams,
who in himself represents the
major portion of the opposition to
the Great Western Beet Sugar
company in Mountain Home, with
]. L. Bradford and Mr.. Culver,
editor of the Republican has sue
ceeded IN calling mass meeting oi
citizens through promises of as
founding revelati ions as TO the Gre al
Westerns alleged methods, and
this meeting convened shortly af-
ter the adjournment of the Com
mercial club. Mr.. Bradford was
chosen chairman and Otto Altschul
secretary. Mr.. Bradford took the
chair and announced the object oi
the meeting was to determine
whether the Republican and Mr..
Culver should be denounced for ar
editorial criticizing the Great
Western Beet Sugar company.
1t was suggested that Mr. Adams
make the address of the evening
which Mr.. Adams did. In lengthy
and disconnected speech Mr.. Ad-

means hasten the development
of the great resources this
country is known to possess. -
Where the result of the insidious
attack by the Republican had been
to inspire doubt in the minds of
those uniformed with the excellent
standing of the Great Western Beet
Sugar company and its bright pros
poets and had even caused doubt to
arise in the minds of some few who
had become owners of water rights
III er the system, the unqualified
endorsement of the nom partisan or
ganiztaion. The Commercial Club,
together with the announcement of
the editorial and the unmistakable
sentiment in favor of the company
throughout the city, has once more
thoroughly restored the confidence
of the public and faith in the big
enterprise which the canal company
SC we'll deserves.
The result of this incident as a
whole has been to how the weak
ness III numbers and in cause of
those who for selfish, personal and
petty reasons are opposed to the
Great Western Beet Sugar COM
pany, and to bring out the most
gratifying fact that a great big ma
jority of Mountain Home people ap-
preciate the work of John H. Gar
rett and the Beet Sugar company
and realize it has been this COM
pany that has brought about the
present prosperity of Mountain
Home and through increased land
values, increased wages and attract
ing outside investors has placed
dollars in the pocket of every man
who has cast his lot here. 1t has
brought forth the fact that we have
a community which will stand and
work together, a community of pub
lic-mindcd citizens whose object is
the development of bigger and a
better Mountain Home.

Praised and commended by the
Mountain Home Commercial club,
a body of the city's most represent
ativc business men and citizens, in
the face of an editorial attack by
one of its home newspapers against
the integrity and honestv of it's Of
ficials: virtually commended by a
mass meeting called by it's enemies
to denounce, the Great Western Beet
Sugar company today holds d posi-
ition in the good will and esteem of
the people of Mountain Home such
as it never held before
Not since it's organization have
the people of this community had
such reason to express their con-
fidencc in the manag of the
Great Western Beet Sugar company
as they have today, when weighed
in the balance of public sentiment
and measured by sound business
Judgment it stands monument to
the energy and ability of its promot-
: ers.
'Dale city has every reason to feel
grateful to its commercial club for
its immediate action and for adopt
:, ing no half way measures when the
irresponsible utterances of the
Mountain Home Republican threat
ened to spread abroad a false and
injurious impression OF the institu-
tion with whose destiny that of
Probably never before in the his
tory of the state has such a drastic
measure been adopted by CONNER
cial club as that of last Saturday
evening when the Mountain Home
Commercial club in special session
adopted resolutions condemning the
course of the Mountain Home Re-
publican in a recent editorial attack
on the Great Western Beet Sugar
company and in effect dcnounCing
the editor ,of the paper as menace
to the welfare and best interests
of the community Probably never
before has there arisen in this or
any other Idaho city an occasion
when such heroic measures were
necessary and it is doubtful if any
city ever witnessed a greater dis
play of loyalty to the common nwealth
than when an organization repre-
senting more than one half the vot-
ers of the city, casting aside party
affiliations and forgetting selfish
motives by an ovor whelming major
ity rallied to the support of their
town and defended her fair name
and the honor of tho men whose in
tercsts are the interests of the city.
Not for sentimental reasons or
because of narrow prejudice was 1t
within the province of the Com
nercial club to take up the matter
of dealing with Mr.. Culver and the
Republican in this crisis, but from
the standpoint OF common sense,
of cool business judgment it wa,
clearly the duty of the club to
take action. No one oan say that
the interests of Mountain Home arc
not the interests of the Beet Sugar
company and those of the company
the interests of the city. Upon the
corpany's success or failure de-
pends in a great measure the sue
