WANT CENTRAL SCHOOL
Mesa Residents Seek to Unite
Two Districts.

A petition for a union school dis
trick on the mesa is being circula-
ted and Us meeting with very little
opposition. A majority of legal
voters is required.
The petition prays that the two
school districts on the upper end of
the bench be united into one for the
purpose of enlarging the school ia
cilities and erecting schoolhouse
in a central location.
The object of the petitioners IS
to establish a graded school and
haul the children TO and from schoo
in wagons. This plan is used on
the Twin Falls tract with great
success and is very popular there.
The children are thus given educa-
tional facilities equal to the city
schools with little if any more ex-
pense than in the ordinary district
school. 1t is a good move and
should receive the unanimous sup
port of the parties effected.

A average boy is ambitious about
his strength and health, and may
therefore draw a valuable lesson
from the defeat of Jim Jeffries, who
is said to have been, during his six
years of vacation from the prize
ring, an inyeterate cigarette smoker,
a fact that is charged by many COM
petent judges as a potent factor in
determining the outcome of the bat
tie. Cigarettes sap the vitality and
iniure the physical being OF the uAar
They are deadly TO the athlete and
if this be true as it is, then the
American boy who has any pride IN
his heart, and who hopes to grow
up to be strong, fine specimen Of
his race; man of which his mother
will be proud will not take kindly to
the cigarette. 1t is not sentiment
that is back OF the general prejudice
against the cigarette, but the fact
that the cigarette is injurious to
the user, proven by years of exper-
fence, that has determined public
opinion-.Star, Moscow.

RESUME MINING 0PER-
ATOMS
Belief the Dewey Road will
be Extended Cause
of Activity

Because of the belief that the
Idaho Northern railroad will be ex-
tended from Emmett up the valley,
operations in the mines in the Pearl
district is being resumed, and the in
dications are that that rich section
will soon zee as active operations as
was experienced five and six years
ago.
The new mill of the Whitman
Mining Co. was started up Monday
for its initial run. Twelve men
are now employed, but the force
will be largely increased so soon as
the machinery is in smooth working
order. The plant has a capalty of
40 tons and the process is especially
suited to the character of the ore
in that section. That mine has
been operated continuously during
the past year and a large quantity
of ore is on the dumps and in sight.
contracts have been made with
freIghters to haul to Emmett and
load a carload Of concentrates every
three days.
C.. McCauley, the new superin-
tendent of the Lucky Boy mine,
is preparing to resume operations
on the property with a big force
of men.
Mr. Dwight, superintendent of the
Nellie" mine, mile down the ri
yer from Horseshoe Bend, has
force of men rebuilding the power
house which burned down a year
ago. When this is completed and
the motor installed so that air can
be forced into the tunnel, work will
begin driving the cross-cut to the
Kentuck workings and the mine put
in working condition. new mill
is tc be built at the Nellie to con-
centrate their ores as soon as
connection is made with theKentuck.

A GREAT WATER SHED
Vast Quantities of Snow and Ice
in Upper Country.

Andy Little, who came down from
the upper country last week after
tour of his sheep camps, reports
that there is enough snow and ice
in the gulches and on the mountains
tributary to the Payette river to
maintain an abundant water supply
for another year, even though no
more rain or snow fell. Many gull
ches, he says, are packed 20 or
more feet deep with a solid mass
of snow and ice.
The Payette is a great river
Draining a vast mountainous coun-
try covered with forests, it has a
never failing source of supply even
in Unusually dry years. Irrigation
canals tap it for a hundred miles
up stream and 40 miles down stream
from Emmett without seeming to
diminish its flow. Its constancy
and generosity is priceless. 1t is
more valuable than all the mineral
riches that lie buried along its bank.
and the wealth of the timber that
crowns the mountains and hills
whose feet it bathes. Because of
this, the Emmett country is blessed
beyond those of many less favor
ed localities, where the water sup
ply has either been entirely cut off
or else has been curtailed to al
mosy nothing.

The plans of the mesa folks are
nothing if not broad and progress

disposed of, according to Harry
Workman, they propose to secure

SOME POLITICAL DOPE
Frank Berry Has Legislative
Ambitions From Emmett

| a conference of Canyon county
| Republican leaders was held at CaId
well Friday afternoon to discuss
the primary law and size up the pol
itical situation. Nearly every pre-
cinct was represented. Those from
Emmett were Geo. F. Zimmerman,
D. A. Hawkins, Arthur Richards
and Ed Skinner The meeting was
very enthusiastic, but at the same
time there was something lacking.
The old political wheel horses,
like Dan Campbell, D. C. Chase,
Judge Smith, George Stone, Fred
Fiske and N. Jenness, were sorter
up in the air. The new primary
law has changed the old convention
game, and it will take some time
for these old fellows to learn the
new tricks. While there was a
tendency at times to discuss the
location of the various offices, yet
it was the unanimous sentiment of
the meeting that as many candida
tes as desire should be encouraged
to place their names in nomination
at the coming primaries. No re-
commendation or Endorsements
were made or attempted. The pre-
vailing sentiment appeared to be
to get the best material in the par
ty for the candidates.
For time it looked as if the En-
nett precinct would not have even
a candidate on the Republican tic
ket. But Frank Berry has sre
ped into the breach and saved the
day. He is a candidate for legis-
Iative honors, and by the way, he
is the only Republican aspirant so
far in the county. What's the mat
ter?
But there are candidates a-plenty
for the other offices. Seven of
them are from Caldwell, four from
Payette, two from Nampa, one from
Parma and one from Emmett. The
list up to date is as follows:
Clerk-George StovaH, C. ].
shofb, Caldwell; D. w. Ainey, Pay

The Democratic candidates are
not so numerous. So far as we

Ditch Broke; Track Washed Out.

a break in the South Side Can
yon canal Thursday night tied up
the Idaho Northern train several
hours Friday morning. A deep cut
was made under the roadbed at
the foot of the grade The Hop
per peach orchard was seriously da-
mayed. Over 100 trees were wash
ed out and a channel six feet deep
and 10 feet wide was cut across
the orchard. The washout was
caused by tumble weeds damming
up the canal and causing the wa
ter to overflow the banks which
soon washed out and the entire vo-
lume of water in the canal flowed
into the lowlands.
