mony at the Episcopal rectory last
Tuesday evening by Rev. Award
Chamberlain. Mr.. Deal was we'll
known in Mackay, aving resided there
for nearly two years, but recently
branched out in business for himself
in Pocatello. The bride was one of
Mackay's most charming girls. The
wedding was very quiet, there being
no one present except Mr.. Clarence
Vaught, brother of the bride, and the
necessary witnesses.
Mr.. and Mrs. Deal left on the mid
night train for Pocatello, and will
shortly make their home in Jerome,
Idaho.

UNCLE SAM SECURING OP-,
TIONS FOR THE MAMMOTH
SWAN VALLEY RESERVOT


SWAN VALLEY RESERVOIR
Rigby Star. Some time since, the
Star contained an article regarding
the possibility of the government buy
ing out the settlers now in Swan val
ley, with the purpose in view of con-
structing reservoir for the conserva-
ton of water to be used for irrigation
purposes down In the Twin Falls
country and other sections in that
part of the state. Reliable informa-
ton from up the river warrants the
belief that the reservoir will be built
and that work on the same will begin
within another year at least.
The government is now securing
options on the land and in one in
stance that we heard of, has accepted
the price named by one of the set
tiers. Some time ago j. O. Butler,
who resides near Irwin, was asked to
put a price on his holdings and he
wrote the department at Washington
saying that he did not see how he
could afford to take less than $4,000.
Much to his surprise he recently re-
ceived word from the department
saying that his offer was considered
reasonable and that in addition to
giving him the amount named for his
land the government would also give
him 500 for his improvements.
Other settlers in the same neighbour
hood, 1t is reported, have named
fancy prices for their holdings and in
every instance have been turned down
by the department, and once the
government gets ready for business
condemnation proceedings will doubt
less be instituted. Many of the set
tiers up there have valuable property
and improvements, and are entitled
to all their holdings are worth, and
will doubtless receive such for their
property, but as to fancy prices, just
because the land is wanted by the
government for one Of the greatest
reservoir projects ever attempted in
the west, they are not likely to re-
ceive such, as Uncle Sam has way
of his own when 1t comes to matters
of the nature of the one under con-
temptation.
Three damsites have been sur
veyed, one at Calamity point, one at
the lower end of Coonard valley, the
other in the vicinity of where the iron
bridge spans the river.
This work means that a railroad
will have to be built down the South |
fork within the next two years, as 1t
would not be possible to get material
to the point named, for the construc-
ton Of the reservoir, without the aid |
Of railway facilities.

MEAT MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT.

Persons wishing goods delivered in
time for noon luncheon must plsce
their orders before IL o'clock. Orders
to be used for 6 o'clock dinner must
be placed before 4 p. m. The earlier
the order Is placed. the better chance
we have to deliver 1t before II 10
needed. The tendency of the public
has been to wait until late hour
land then ask us to deliver 1t at once.
This practice would force us to in
crease the number Of cars and car
riers and the increased expenses
would increase the price OF meats.
We want to give the public the best
service possible ut the least expense.
and ask the cooperation Of house
keepers by giving us their orders
early.
We close at s:3o .. M, except
Saturday. and days proceeding holi-

WRITER'S CONTEST.

The writer's contest for December
seems to have settled down to con-
test of getting, and the increase
in the number of votes recorded to
the credit of each, is not so great as
in November. Not SO many people
paid bills in December, Santa Claus
receiving so large share of atten-
ton there was not the usual amount
for newspaper expenses.
During the last month of the con-
test we shall publish the news letters
just as received, without any altera-
lions or corrections, SO the public can
see how perfectly they do their work,
and how many competent editors the
school of journalism has developed.
