UNCLE SAM STARTED THE. BIG

The other day in Spokane several
men prominent in Idaho, including
former District Judge Standrod, pres.
ident of the FIRST National bank of
Pocatello. were indicted by the fed
eral grand jury on charges of having
used the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses in connection with the opera
ton of a hardwood company in
which they held stock. It seems that
few years ago these men were In
duced to take stock in company
that proposed to grow eucalyptus
trees in California. The federal gov
eminent. through the AGRICULTURAL de-
partment. had exploited the eucalyp-
tus industry thoroughly. Because Of
the rapid growth OF the trees and be-
cause the soil suitable to their de-
velopment had been discovered, the
government did not hesitate to rec
ommend it is profitable business,
The reports of government experts
we're used to sell stock in various
eucalyptus companies, in one of
which the Idaho men became interest
ed. 1t seems, though, that the bust
ness did not turn out as probably as
had been expected, whereupon the
government indicated that its bulle-
tins on the subject had been taken toe
literally. / seems that certain par
ties to whom the promoter of the
the company (not the Idaho share
holders, excepting as their names ap-
peared as oficers) had sold stock be-
came dissatisfied and complained te
the government that they had beer
defrauded by representatives of the
company contained in it's literature
SO 1t came about that the Idaho mel
were Indicted in Epokane. The leas
they can expect is the annoyance ane

TO say to you nov mat the Fillmore
Irrigation Co., is going to succeed.
and is going to furnish water for the
people in this vicinity.
In April. 1903. committee Of Ave,
with Judge Davis at the head, was
appointed at a public meeting held
at the Commercial Club Rooms, to
take the necessary steps for the or
ganization of an irrigation district
From that time, until the follow
ing March. when Mr.. Adams came
here. nothing was done by myself or
my friends to prevent that commit
tee from carrying out its instructions.
1t had seven months to make move,
yet not one step was taken towards
organization. There was no other
company trying to do anything, there
was nothing in the way.
1t is time to stop talking, and es-
pecialIy to stop knocking, and get
to work. If you believe in your meth
cd, the irrigation district, get to
work and organize. DO something
Don't stand back and kick because
someone else is trying to do some
thing.
/ absolutely decline to discuss this
matter further with you either al
public meetings or in the pres
/ am ready to work with you OF
anyone else who is in earnest AND
is honestly making an effort to solv,
our water problem.

Dear Sir: M tsle r-
Your article in the New Time in
which you challenge me to an open
discussion OF the relative merits OF
the Carey Act and the Irrigation Dis
trict plan has been read by me.
decline your offer for the follow
ing reasons:
Z L. This matter has been discussed
at several public meetings and the
people are fully advised as to the
merits Of the two systems.
g The water users do not care
for more argument; can you get the
water for them? That alone interests
them.
You and your editor friend seem
to think that large majority of the
people are with you on an irrigation
district plan, his paper says nine
tenths. II this is so, why have you
not long ago taken steps to organize
a district? Get out your petition, get
the requisite number of signers, get
your surveys. prepare your maps, fur
nish your bond and present the petit
ton to the board of county commits
sioners. Surely, If nine-tenths Of the
people are with you, you should have
no difficulty in getting your project
started.
If your are in earnest do some
thing don't content yourself with
talking all the time. The people have
reached the stage where they want
something done. Now get in and drill,
land convince them you are in earnest
You accuse me of building air
castles" Whether air castles or not,
have been building. For more than
1.-TWO years l have exerted my best eff
fort to the problem of getting water
FLOR the people in and about MouI
tain Home. If 1 succeed, expect to
make something out of it. Why
fshouldn't 1?
What have you been doing all this
time? With a confession, sir, by your
approval of the article in the New
1Time, that large majority OF the
y water users are with you, you have
! sat idle by with your arms folded
4 doing nothing except to knock al
3those who are attempting to do some
Il thing, and in your knocking you are
not honest; you attempt Deliberately
to mislead the people.
: Do you deny this?
. Then please, for the benefit OF the
people. name the two or three irri
cation companies that l organized
!, and perfected between 1908 and Jull
or August 1910.
Again, give the public some proc

, What evidence have you to pres

All these statements are falsehoods

THE USUAL DIsCoURAGEMENTs

It seems to be the fate Of all great
Undertakings to meet with discour-
agements and backsets Of all des-
eriptions. In this the Gilmore Irriga-
ton is no exception to the rule. When
Columbus set out to discover Amer
lea or a new passage to the East In
dias he was considered crazy and
was hooted and jeered in the streets.
Only a few short year ago the arid
west was considered a fit place only
for jackrabbits and coyotes and the
FIRST schemes for retaining the
sands was discouraged and decried
in the east where 'he scheme was first
considered impossible. The construc-
ton of the Panama canal also ran
the gauntlet and Mr.. Roosevelt in
his speaca at Moscow tells Of the
starting OF this huge project as fol
lows:
when the Panama canal was
started Europe predicted untold
graft and scandal and added that il
could not be dug anyhow. It has been
dug. and is being dug, honestly and
evidently. to the modification of
the profits of evil.
Mr.. Roosevelt referred to his part
ia the starting of the canal and turn
ing to Senator Dixon said.

This paper was established, pri-
marily, to promote and foster those
interests that entered into the ma
feriai prosperity and happiness of
the people Of Mountain Home. It
was established to encourage such
schemes as would develop the lands,
build up the business interests OF
this city and bring prosperity and
happiness to the people of this beau
tiful valley.
We have never lost sight Of the
essentials that inspired the establish
ment Of the Mountain Home MAYER
1ck. At all times we have consider
ed the best interests of Mountain
Home first and the welfare of the
paper next, always believing that the
general condition Of the community
would reflect on the paper. Therefore,
It has been our object to sacrifice
to the present in the hope that the
future would repay us for such sac
rifce many fold. The Mountain Home
Maverick was not established for pro-
Mt, but as an advertisement and real
benefit to this city. The equipment
Is far better than can be found in
towns many times larger than this
city, and the Maverick, as a newspa-
per, is considered and recognized as
one Of the best country weeklies in
the state OF Idaho. These are condi-
fions that are gratifying to us and
should be a source of pride to the
residents OF Mountain Home.
We believe in Mountain Home and
we believe in her future. Our faith
in the ultiamte success of Mountain
Home has never been greater than
at the present time. We believe in
her public schools, in her various
institutions, in her churches and we
believe in the people.
Mountain Home has been cast
about by the winds OF adversely and
has been near the shoals Of despair,
but the confidence of the people has
never been shaken and through 1t
all hope has led the people on and
made the future always appear
bright and full of promise. The past
two years have been dark ones for
the city and community. The water
situation mas been unsettled and
mast i.scOuraSing. but the t1ght-
ness in the east. occasioned by the
efforts of the Gilmore Irrigation Com
pany, betokens the dawn OF a new
day and the people are already TAX
ing on new life and feel that the
night is about over.
The past two years might be TAX
en- as the formative period when cir
cumstances in the affairs of the city
were adjusting themselves and max
ing ready for future greatness and
material advancement
It is always darkest before dawn
and the Sweet Smile of Sunshine
is about to burst upon us with all its
1ife-giving powers, its brightness anC
cheer.
Such is our confidence in Noun
tain Home. We are vitality interest
ed in her success and achievements
We are not owned by any click, clal
or combination. neither do we ALLOW
any man to dictate our policy agains
our convictions. We have dedicated
our services and our best efforts L
the interests of Mountain Home ant
will always support and advocate
those measures and enterprises whicl
we are convinced are for the bes
interests of the city.
