OFFICIAL PAPER OF MOUNTAIN HOME
Mountain Home, Idaho Saturday, November 6, 1909.

over their holdings and deliver
water to them for $40 an acre,
the payments to cover a period
of from 10 to Is years. In re-
turn the company was to make
application for the segregation
of $1,000 acres of land in and
around Sunnyside and the set
tiers are to relinquish their
rights to them on the under
standing that they receive back,
providing the segregation is
granted, the same land as they
now hold. The settlers are to
meet Monday afternoon and
discuss the terms of this
proposition submitted to them.
About 100 settlers have band
ed themselves together as the
LAND Owners" and have ap-
pointed a committee under
that caption to look after their
interests.
Aside from the proposed con-
struction of the longest tunnel
in the world by the capitalists,
who are rumored to be no less
than the Twin Falls North Side
Land & Water Company, is the
proposition to build an electric
line from Sunnyside to Boise.
This would place the settlers in
the vicinity of the new project
in direct communication with
the capital city, as well as give
them better transportation ia
cilities. 1t would also do a
great deal towards building up
a substantial agricultural com
munity at Sunnyside SO that
it would in due course of time
become a prosperous city. 1t
is understood that the promot-
ers backing both companies
have their plans made with re-
spect to the construction of the
electric line so that if either
one Of them goes through, the
interurban is assured.
The water supply for the land
proposed to be irrigated by the
Southern Idaho Reclamation
company will come from the
Long Tom reservoir and Fall
and Lime creeks located to the
south of the land. 1t is said
that the state engineer has ex-
amined the plans of the South
ern Idaho reclamation COM
pany for securing water to irri,
gate the Sunnyside land and
that he not only indorses them,
but believes that there is no
question but that the water
supply will be ample.
The application for segrega-
tion for this 1000 acres of land
as made by the Southern Idaho
Reclamation company, was
filed on October 16. Since that
time the application has been
before the state land board but
no action has been taken.
This morning representatives
of the land owners on the Sun
nyside tract, who represent
about $500 acres of land, called
upon Governor Brady and the
land board to ascertain whether
or not it was the purpose of the
board to take up the application
of the Southern Idaho Reclaim
alton company, but it was
learned that the board had
other matters to attend to and
would be unable to consider the
then.
The settlers, it is understood,
are willing and ready to go in
to any legitimate plan by which
their land can be irriggted, but

Pay More This Year

Eight thousand eight hundred and forty-three dollars and fifty eight cents, represented by certified check drawn on the bank account of the Alaska Packers association yesterday came to Deputy Clerk Burton as pay ment of the associations taxes on the salmon pack for 1908. Accompanying the check came certificates of salmon fry distribution crediting the associs- tion with $29,66880, the com bined amounts being in liquidation of the S38,512.38 tax due the government ac- cording to the associations own book keeping.
 Ordinarily the receipt by deputy clerk of the amount due as taxes on any business or com odity is not more worthy of consideration than IS any any other affair in connection with the routine duties of the office, bat in this case, ill view of past experience with the Alaska Packers association, the voluntary action of the association, in rendering unto the government that which is the governments has caused surprise. For the salmon pack of 1907 the Alaska Packers association gave to the deputy clerk in Valdez 32 cents ln cash and S32,272 in salmon fry certih- cates.

Among the local items in the Ketchi' kan Miner we find the following story: A wife's devotion to her husband, com bined with her desire to carry out all his requests even after death, is proven beyond all question of doubt by some neighbors who chanced to call upon the bereaved widow who sat calmly by the slab in which which her dead husband lay one cold winter night. She held a fan in her hand which she waved back and forth over the brow of her mate, and upon being asked why she famed the corpse on such cold night replied: My husbands last words were: "Wife, wait until 1 am cold before you marry again."

Gordon Bottles Very Latest

Gordon Bettles, one of the old timers of Alaska, who gave his name to the trading post in the Koyukuk and who has been in on every stampede since the beginning of things in the North, is in Fairbanks preparing for another of his mysterious mushes-this time into what he says is the newest, richest quartz and placer camp in Alaska.
 Bettles is very mysterious about this particular bit of country, but says he has known of It for years, says the Fairbanks News. He has planned time and time again to hike for it, but has always been distracted and stampedeo to something that looked better for i'm mediate results, always putting the thought back in his head that he would go to the promised land when be had finished with the business in hand. He has held on to it as sort of bank ac- count, knowing that it is too inacces- sible to ever be discovered, and know. ing that the gold is there because he says he has seen it $50 to the pan.
 Gordon is what might be called d wanderer. He has been over Alaska from soup to nuts and expects to do it over again. For the last year he has been with the Hubbard & Elliott people at Valdez, having gone there after his stampede to the Inuoko country with stock of goods. He didn't like the looks of things there and just kept on agoing and landed on the coast.
 The year before that he opened up the Kantishna country, taking up the job after having mushed around in the Beaver creek district selling goods to needy prospectors. He was one of the many first locators of Weare and was in the Koyukuk country in 1895. It was in 1898 that he opened trading post at Bettles, and he remained there for six years, the longest stop he has ever made in one place.
 Bettles isn't going to sell goods this time, he will be miner. He says the element of gamble does not enter into this proposition and that he can get all the money he wants to finance the eX petition, being backed by parties in the east

A big, hurley, fierce looking man and a meek, inofensive looking little chap were saving logs down on the beach with cross cut saw. A big Irishman passing that way stopped to watch them. Back aud forth, back and forth they pulled the saw. Finally the Irish man could stand it no longer. With whoop and d yell he rushed at the big man and brought him to the ground. Eff! Bang! Trump! "There," he said, letting him have one parting blow on the nose, "now mebbe yell let the little fellow have it."

Hotel Soon Be Finished.

Another short month and the
hotel troubles of Cottonwood
people will be at an end. Inside
of the next thirty days the new
hotel will stand completed and
the travelling public, which has
been giving Cottonwood a black
eye ever since the fire last July,
will be cared for here in as hand
some a manner as at any point in
this part of the state.
Contractor w. S. Jennings,
who has charge of the work on
the new hotel, informs us that the
building will be completed and
furnished by not later than March
10Th. All of the fifty rooms in
the building have been lathed
and by the end of this week
nearly half of them will have
been plastered. The carpenters
in charge of the finishing work
are following the plasterers as
rapidly as the drying of the plas-
ter will permit and it is safe to
say that all of the carpenter
work on the building will be COM
pleted several days before the
date above mentioned.
Mr.. Thompson, who owns and
will operate the hotel, closed a
contract Tuesday with Bailor &
Mcdonald, of this place, for all
of the furniture, etc., necessary
to fit up the entire building and
this will be installed just as rap
idly as the rooms are finished to
receive it. The furniture will be
all of extra good quality and will
cost between $4,000 and $4,000
laid down here.
When completed, the hotel will
be one of the largest and best
this side of Lewiston and will be
a building which, for looks and
comfort, will be credit to any
town.
