The first step towards the legiti-
mate development and exploitation
of the magnificent valley of which
Mountain Home is the center was
taken when the Southern Idaho Re
clemation company submitted to the
State Land Board its proposal for the
reclamation, under the Carey Act, of
$1,000 acres in the sunnyside coun-
try The settlers in that immediate
locality are to be congratulated upon
the bright prospects, and they should
lend. every aid and encouragement in
the direction Of bringing about
speedy final action This they can do
by turning in their accomplishments
promptly, thus avoiding any delay
when the project is submitted to the
Department of the Interior for ap-
proval of the permanent segregation.
a'he men who organized the Southern
Idaho Reclamation company have
been working on the project for a
year in the face of obstacles that
would have discouraged most people.

Governor Stubs has long been an
advocate Of good roads. and when in
the legislature worked hard for the
passage of a bill which would have
assisted the farmers in securing
modern highways but the bill was so
altered before passage that when it
became a law it was attacked at the
first opportunity and rendered in
operative.
Now Governor Stubs is paving the
way for further legislation. In his
invitation to the association he makes
it clear that lie expects from the con-
vention at Topeka a stimulation Of
interest in the movement throughout
the state as well as the circulation of
information regarding the best meth
DDS Of road building and the proper
forms OF legislation.
This is a matter in which the peo-
pie of different states may easily help
each other. 1t does a great deal of
good to have men from sections of
the country where good roads exist

built in recent years, all opposition
would be overcome.
The farmers in thoes states at first
fought the improvement, but in many
instances it has been the means Of

the delegates on agriculture in the

Judge Walters has not as yet an
nounced his appointment of gem
eral receiver for the Great Western
Beet Sugar company, and it is appar-
ent that he is giving this important
matter the careful consideration
which it deserves, The interests are
so varied and so conflicting that the
position is not one for a small man.
He must possess discernment and
business acumen, and no man can ac-
cept the position on the theory that
it will be a sinecure. The enterprise
is primarily an Gilmore county one
and the residents Of Mountain Home
are the most vitality interested 1t is
to be hoped that there will be no
necessity of going outside the limits
of our own city to find a man capable
of assuming this position and doing
justice to all concerned.
