the shipments 2,024 cars were for Mon
tana points. In 1907, 1,147 cars were
shipped into North Dakota, but last year
the number dropped to 43S, and there
was corresponding decrease in almost
all other states. This was caused partly
by the lessened demand resulting from
the business stagnation, but more by the
freight rate situation, which interfered
with shipments to points outside the
state, and cut off much business that
could otherwise have been held.

Town Council Holds Interesting
SessiOn-TWO Saloon Licenses
Are Revoked--Mayor Instructs
Police to Enforce Laws in Re-
gard to Gambling.

The town council met Monday night
in regular session and transacted an un-
usual amount of business. Every official
was present, including police judge,
treasurer and the police force.
The police judges report showed that
the sum of 1926 had been collected dur
ing the past month, and the treasurer re-
ported $1,000. 60 on hand.
The bill for the new safe was read and
as considerable amount could be saved
by paying the bill in full it was ordered
paid, giving the town the benefit of the
discount
A communication from the fire depart
ment was read, asking for a suitable locker
in which the rubber overcoats and other
wearing apparel of the firemen might be
kept. The matter was referred to the
fire committee.
Two saloon licenses were revoked in
the redlight district, which action will
stop the sale of liquor in that section OF
the town, and as the parties had just
been granted new licenses, it was ordered
that the money be refunded to them
minus one months license. This action
cuts the number of saloon licenses in the
town down to 10.
Mayor Snyder, in very strong terms,
gave notice that gambling must not
be allowed to run, and instructed
the police force to enforce the law
in every respect. The clerk was
also instructed to notify saloonkeepers
that no games should be allowed in
their places under penalty of having
their licenses revoked.

Receiving Many Inquiries.

That the Gunderson-Durant sage
brush grubber will be popular Is evil
dent from the numerous letters they
are receiving regarding the machine
they are perfecting Parties in the
city who have seen the model and are
acquainted with the merits OF the
grubber are offering to make large
payments in advance in order to Sc
cure one of the very first machines
manufactured.
Mr. Durant states that the patterns
have all been finished and will be sent
to Nampa today to be cast. This will
be only short job, when they will
begin the construction of the ma
chimes. They hope to manufacture
about ten a week when in full opera
ton. and with the demand will en-
large the plant to take care of any
increase in the business.
The machine is the most practical
that has ever been placed on the mar
ket. Not only will it do better than
95 per cent gruhbing in any sage
brush land, but the cutting edge can
be turned into the soil so deep as to
make plowing unnecessary. The cut
ting blades contain four edges, and
4 can be turned or reversed in a few
moments by the removal Of set Of
bolts holding it in position. This
eliminates the necessity Of carrying
files into the field to sharpen the cut
ter during the day.
The machine is a success and al
who have seen it in operation arr
very enthusiastic with its possibili
ties. They expect to have one com
pleted before the end of next month

ooRIANToN PLEAsEs.
Large House Greets the Best Attrac-
tion of Season.

A capacity house greeted the Cori-
anton production in the opera house
last Monday evening The produc-
tion was well rendered and the crowd
well pleased.
Manager Cannon was indeed for
tunate in securing so excellent a COM
pany and it was only by chance he
was able to book them. They had
been billed into Boise and a territory
west by Salt Lake booking concern,
but owing to conflicting dates and
poor business they abandoned the
western tour and turned eastward.
Mr.. Cannon, being on the search for
something good, secured them for an
engagement here.
Owing to the fact that the company
was so well pleased with Mountain
Home and its people, they cancelled
their advance date for Tuesday night
and played another date in the city
producing a comedy entitled "Hellc
Bill" This proved a laughable com
edy and further brought out the abil
ity OF the company in putting on com
edy as well as drama.

BURGLARS BREAK INTO HOUSE

Secure Valuable JeweIry and Make
Escape Sunday Night.
Between the hours of and 10
o'clock last Sunday night, while Mr.
and Mrs. John Fagerstadt were abb
sent from their home. burglars broke
into the house and before their return
secured considerable jeweIrx. OF great
.vafne to the owners The article
most valued by Mr.. Fagerstadt was a
solid gold watch given him while on
the police force of Boulder, Colorado,
by his associates. The watch was a
17-jewel Illinois movement in a Size
Is case, engraved with the initial ''F'
on the outside. Mr.. Fagerstadt val
ued this gift so highly that he seldom
wore 1t, but left it at home, where he
supposed it was perfectly safe. In
addition to this article three ladies'
gold watches were taken and also
several gold rings, watch chains, etc.
1t seems that the burglars were
familiar with the house, or were pro-
fessionals, for they had only a short
time in which to enter and secure the
booty. Nothing was disturbed ex-
cepting the jeweIry, and they made a
clean sweep of that.
That night word was sent out re-
gardihg the burglary to neighborine
towns and the deputy sheriff at
Glenns Ferry arrested two individuals
answering to the description given
by Mr.. Fagerstadt. In fact, one was
wearing a ring supposed to be part
Of the loot. The deputy sheriff set q
guard over his prisoner until early
morning, when the guard was al
lowed to leave for a short time to Sc
cure his breakfast and secure feet
for the prisoners. During his alb
sence they broke Jail and made a sue
cessful escape
Every effort has been made K
catch them. but nothing has beer
heard regarding them up to the pres
ent time. Sheriff Boyd has notifes
all officers in this part of the stat
and it is safe to be expected they vii
be captured and returned to custod,
before another week.

Parents, Visit the Schools.

In regard to our schools. parents
have duties to perform, which they
can i'll afford to neglect. They should
show to their children that they have
an interest in the school. They
should examine carefully the reports
sent by the teacher, should see that
their children are in school every day,
and punctual; should assist and en-
courage their children to do all their
school duties faithfully and we'll;
should cooperate with the teacher in
securing the prompt return of their
children home after school is dis
missed; should make a friendly visit
to the school, and talk freely with the

the same.

SCHOOLS RECEIVE REWARDS.
Seattle Exposition Awards Medals to
City Schools.

In the list of awards won by the
state of Idaho at the recent Alaska
Yukon-Pacihc exposition. it will be
noted that the Mountain Home school

follows: Travelling library. Univers-
ity of Idaho, State of Idaho Rural
schools. Payette. Nampa. Mountain
Home, Moscow. Occur d'Alene and
Caldwell public schools. and Albion
and Lewiston Normals.
It will be noted that our schools
are placed in the very front rank of
Idaho schools in the matter of its
work as exhibited at the fair, as well
as in all of its other undertakings.
1t is noted with especial pride that
the school is the only thing in FL
more county to receive any mention
of merit at the fair Not because this
county does not excel in many of its
products, but because others over
looked the Importance of an exhibit
at the exposition and failed to make
proper representation.
The faculty and stuednts of tht
schools are to be congratulated OF
the honor and credit they have thu
brought home to our local schools.
