Juvenile Band Organized By
Pupils of the Shoshone
Public Schools
GIRLS FORM A GLEE CLUB
Great Interest Shown in all Departments
of School Work---Shoshone Schools
VIII be Peer Of the Very Best

The city schools Of Shoshone are
moving TO the front in way to make
outsiders sit up and take notice
Since the Glee club was organized by
the young ladies' of the school and
placed under the instruction Of Prof.
L. N. Sigmond, the young men have
walked up and advanced their cause
ahead Of all competitors by organizing
eomet band Of at least a pieces With
Clifford Dorsey as instructor
The boys pay for their own instru-
ments but the school board pays for
the instruction, the same rules pre-
vailing as obtained with the regular
school studies, with the exception that
cigarettes are positiveEyprohibited out
Of school
To give the boys an easy start, the
Dorsey Music Co., sold them the horns
at very low price.
Much enthusiasm is being shown by
the boys, their parents and the com
munity in general as a public school
band is something out Of the common,
especially one that IS fostered by the
school authorities.
Shoshone WI now have two bands
and an orchestra
Prof. Westhof says the band viii
not interfere with the other studies
and viii be a great benefit TO the boys,
the school and the town.
With the exception of stenography
and typewritiug, a full commercial
course has been introduced into the
school this year. 1t comprises, busi-
ness letter writing, commercial law,
bookkeeping, business penmanship,
business spelling and commercial ari-
thmetic.
All pupils in the high school take
business spelling. letter writing and
penmanship. Every pupil in school IS
required to take pemanship, none are
exempt
Special emphasis is laid on compost
ton which is required of every gade.
Ali pupils are required TO make grades
in rhetoricaIs-
Every Monday morning Flag salute
is praeticed, and once a week a FIRE
drill IS made a regular exercise.
It will be seen from this that Supt
Jas Westhoff is alive to the needs Of
the position he occupies and that his
methods are modern and well abreast
of the times.
With new $4,000. school building
now under construction and a corps Of
teachers equal to the best in the land,
Shoshone justly feels proud Of her edu-
cational advantages and no pains VIII
be sp ared 10 advance them TO the fore
front Of the educational line up for the
state.

ing the lands included in the project
stated, Il believe that the lands around
Glenns Ferry and in Medbury Valley
are as well adapted to the raising Of
fruits, even the more tender varieties,
as any land in the Northwest. had
number Of expert hosticulturists make
an investigation and report on the pro-
ject and they all back me up in this
assertion. Our conditions are identi-
cal to those that prevail In the famous
cantaloupe section Of the Payette
country. / have learned from the ex-
/ periences Of old residents who have
utilized the flow Of the creeks we re-
servoir, that cantaloupes and straw
berries can be raised successfully and
can be put upon the market from one
to three weeks ahead of any section
now under cultivation. The horticul-
turists tell me that there Is no question
as to the successful growing of pota-
toes and that the soil contains five per
cent Of iron which will give to the
apples ard pears that rich color so
necessary to The products that bring
gifted prices. The water to be used
for the irrigation Of this land is brought
from the Malade river which has a min
imum flow summer and winter Of 100
sec ft. With a large syphon 1000 IT,
in length this water viii be brought
across the Snake river from which
point the canal fifteen miles long viii
carry it along to the lands to be irri-
gated Some Of the land under the
project lies at an elevation too high to
be reached by this ditch but the same
will be irrigated from reservoir
system.
A reservoir having q capacity Of 30,
900 acre f. viii be constructed to con-
serve the complete waters of Bennett,
AlkaH, Cold Springs, Little Canyon and
Dry Creeks. These creeks drain the
large mountainous area known as Bennett
Mountain and viii furnish much more
water than is required for the irriga-
ton Of the land now segregated 1t Is
contemplated, however, to enlarge the
system at a later date to conserve all
the waters from this watershed. The
opening will be held November 18th at
the new townsite established by the
company IN Medbury Valley.

GET ACQUAINTED MEETING
or COMMERCIAL CLUB

The opera house was wellflled Tues
day night by the leading citizens OF
Shoshone in response to the public
invitation of the Commercial club ito
come out and get acquainted. "
The band was on duty and before the
meeting opened gave an open air con-
cert on the streets. The meeting was
for the purpose of getting the citizens
of Shoshone that are not in touch with
the work of the club to realize the
good the club has done in the work Of
upbuilding the town and to induce as
many of them as possible to join the
organization Most of the old line
citizens here are already members but
there are a number of new comers in
the business circles who are not yet in
the fold.
The President, Paul S. Haddock
opened the meeting with few straight
remarks as to the conditions here and
the need of all working together for a
greater Shoshone which is soon to
come.
After the president had finished Mat
NcFan was called on and responded
with a strong talk on local conditions
and the era Of great prosperity that
the city is now entering
Following the addresses Miss Martha
Garlock amused the audience with one
Of her readings that never fail to please.
Robt. Mcmahon responded to the call
of the chair with short talk that car
ried the hearers along with the vein Of
humor that eharacterizes the merchant
from the stone building. James r.
Boutwell, then brought to the minds OF
the audience a few Of the wonderful
possibilities of themetropolisof Lincoln
county.
While committee was eanvassing
the audience in the interestsof the club,
the band drendered a couple Of selections.

ent slope for drainage, and the
rancher who was fortunate enough to
have secured a piece of this tract is
rich indeed.
Approaching Gooding from the south
the observer was struck with the vast
amount of labor that has been expended
( by the Idaho Irrigation Co., in the de-
velopment of this South Gooding tract.
The huge canal that is built up high
above the ground level and the inverted
syphon which empties into it indicate
that tremendous amount of labor was
required to construct it all.
The great canal or artificial river
that was constructed by the city of
Gooding to convey the food waters of
the Little Wood river across into the
Big Wood river, saving any overflow Of
the townsite of Gooding, is another big
affair, that has required a tremendous
expenditure of money. Water to the
South Gooding tract is taken out of the
Little Wood river by diversion dam
at Tunupa, where the huge canal heads,
which afterward, as it approaches the
Gooding Butte is transmitted across an
immense space of low ground blythe in
verted syphon mentioned above.
A good deal of sage brush clearing
has already been undertaken between
Gooding and Tunupa along the line of
this big canal.
When one compares the relative
merits of the great systems of irriga-
ton crossed by this trip. the Twin Falls
North Side and the Idaho Irrigation
Company's projects, there is little diff
Guilty in arriving at q conclusion that
the Idaho Irrigation is one of the very
best.
There has been a complaint made
that there is considerable rock on the
Idaho Irrigation Company's segrega-
tions and that it wouldrequir consider
able labor to remove this Loose rock,
but the writer believes that it is an
easy proposition to handle loose rock.

what it is to handle drifting sand.
Vast stretches of land on the east Of

been. Now this is as good soil as
there is in the world. but the settlers

very easy to clear and work, it is also

Heart toHeart
Talks.
THE THREE CIRCLES.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

We live inside Of circles.
In our thinking each of us is accus-
toned unconsciously to draw about rs
certain circles of which we are the
center.
For instance
Each individual is bounded by
small circle which represents the re-
lation and duty be holds toward him
self and his family.
Then outside this narrow circle is a
larger one, which stands as the limit
Of his relation and obligation to the
community in which he lives.
And then the individual draws with
a wider sweep the arc of a circle, the
full circumstances Of which he can
never know. which represents his duty
and relation TO all men everywhere.
And
However large the circle or however
small, the geographical center Of 1t is
always the same-self.
Which fact naturally trends US moro
or less toward selfishness. Being born
in the center Of all these circles and
living always as the hub around which
they must revolve, the tendency is for
Us to live mostly in the smaller circle.
We are prone to care only for our
own. TO seek for benefit Of our own
to narrow our ambitions to the circum.
ference Of the little circle.
Education must take us out OF the
narrow into the larger circles.
II. besides living in the smaller
world of self. we live also in the wider
one Of community interest then We
have widened our ambitions and our
sympathies and got into the field OF
civilized living.
And II, besides living in these two
circles, we also live in the great wide
circle Of human brotherhood we have
come into the realm of real manhood
and womanhood.
But
Suppose we live only in the small
circle of self or in the circle Of com
munity life only TO exploit humanit.
for our own benefit, or in the wild.
world circle only 10 extort from il
more than is our share?
John X. L. Baron has City answered
these questions when he puts it this
way;
ITO benefit self alone is greed. To
benefit self by wronging others is
crime. 10 benefit mankind is glory"
That is it. To live only in the mar
row circle is greed. To live in the
larger circle in order TO grab is crime.

Evening journal., 1909-09-21

We extend a hearty welcome to all the women OF
Wilmington and vicinity to inspect our rail Exhibit OF
Ready-to-Wear apparel. We are showing the very
latest creations such as Wilmington or any other city
has never had the opportunity to witness.
We want to impress upon the women folks of this
city that the styles of today are the regeneraed ones
of Twenty years ago. If you can recall Twenty years
ago, when the women were wearing Jerseys, New
market Coats and Long Coat Suits you will mmed-
lately recognize the fact above stated.
1t is not often that a mercantile house goes into the
depths of the different deaS such as we have stated
above but there is one thing you will have to consider
and that is that the clothes worn in the Winter are OF
a heavier weight than those worn in the Spring.
The latest creations in clothes for the Fall are of
Homespuns Mannish WorSeds, WideWais and
Broad Cloths.
Whoever heard before of advertising Serge, Pru-
nella or a Panama Suit for the Fall :? Fortunately we,
as a Corporation, buy more ready-tO-Wear mercandiSe
earlier than any other house in Wilmington and prob
ably buy more OF these lines than are purchased by
all of our competitors.
The reason why merchants are showing PananaS,
PrnellaS and SergeS is that they bought merchandise
too late in the season The result is that the manu-
facurerS give them anything they have left in the way
of cloth to make up Fall Suit This matter should
be taken very seriously and when you are in posi-
ton to purchase your Fall Wearing Apparel the above
statements should be taken under consideration
Perhaps you have been in the habit of going to Phila
dephia to make your purchases Just stop and think
moment what folly this is. Every merchant in Phila-
dephia is compelled to pay thousands of dollars for
rental thousands for help and thousands for adver-
Using purposes.
