PRICE OF WATER
GOING TOO HIGH
Private Corporations Have Raised
Price From $40 10 S65
Since Carey Act

There should be halt in the price
asked for water under the Carey Act.
Prior to the enactment of that law
the price of water for irrigation pur-
poses was $40 and the rental 81 per
acre per year. This included the
maintenance of the main and lateral
bitches to the legal subdivisions.
Then came Twin Falls where the
price was raised to s25 per acre, the
water to be delivered half mile from
the land where it was to be used. and
the settler to assume the cost of main
tenance.
The Idaho Irrigation scheme fol-
lowed at $35 per acre as the price of
water; then the North Side Twin
Falls at $45; the Glenn Frery at
$50, the Dietrich tract at so. and so
ON.
Now $65 an acre is asked for the
Goose Creek project.
This is too high. One half of the
price is ample. At $32. so the com
pany would probably make profit of

Tbs State Land Board ought not to
saddle such an onerous burden upon
homeseekers. 1t is we'll enough to
allow capitalists a liberal, very lib
eral, compensation. But profit of $40
to $50 an acre is too much.

LOCALS WIN A

Large Crowd and GOOd Weather AS

BaII Game

The Mountain Home team won
last Sunday in one of the best exhibit
tions ever seen on a local diamond.
The score to / indicates the even
strength of the teams and the game
was intensely interesting from start

The new grounds were in excellent
shape and the large crowd present in
the grand stand was the most enthusi-

game this season. The locals played
winning ball from the start and with
the pace of last Sunday should be

Prehistoric OYSTER Shells.

That the oyster was in common use
by primeval men has been conclusive
ly shown by rthe discovery. in the
Kitchen middens" afof Denmark OF
many thousands OF oyster shells, show.
ing every evidence OF having been ar.
tificially opened. In ancient Greece.
also, the oyster appears to have. been
a recognized delicacy, for DR.. Henry
Schlieman, the eminent German arch.
aeologist, in his historic search for the
ancient and somewhat mythical city
Of Troy, found many oyster. shells in
the ruins of the five prehistoric settle
ments Of Hissarlik. But it was Rome
in the height Of her power and opu
lence that, by singing out the oyster
as the piece de. resistance OF the
Roman banqueting halls, conferred
upon the oyster it's just title as one Of
the most delicious and appetizine
foods within the grasp of man.

RETAIN LONGING FOR ROMANCE.
Frequent Cause of Tragedy IN the Life
Of Woman.

1t Is because women are alwsys
striving to keep love at some emo
tional height, while men, after a few
years of marriage, are quite content to
let romance die out and settle down
10 placid, comfortable, hu,adrum ex-
lstcnce, writes Mildred Herbert Urner
in the Red Book.
How often does one see e. woman
past her first youth, md yet with her
unsuitable longing for romance still
strong within her, striving with all her
arts and wiles to make of her stolid,
prosaic, midd.e-aged husband an ar
uent, romantic lover. Usually the man
Is blandly unconscious of her efforts
or at most mildly wonders why Mary
a1ter all these years, could not take
MS love for granted and lot insist
on being constantly told of 1t.
And there lies the tragedy of most
women's lives. They want to be told
constantly, repeatedly told that they
are loved. They can never be recon-;
cleo to taking it for granted. However
faithful and devoted they may know
their husbands are at heart, they want
II In words. They want, through all
their married life, all the little love
phrases and tender attentions of their
noneymoons. And not one woman in
ten thousand gets them! Yet with
what pftfrul persistency they keep IN
wanting!
