FUND LITERALLY
Preliminary Expense Guaranteed and
Developments WIN BE Pushed as
Rapidly as observation-disclosures
Given Encouragement.

IL was decided at the last meet
ing of the board Of directors OF the
Eimore Irrigation Company to raise
about $500 to defray All current
expenses before the work cound be
continued last Wednesday night at
me mass meedng the outlines Of the
company were discussed very fully
and can made for subscriptions.
Several nlred dollars was raised
IN the meeting ana at the suggestion
If Judge Wolfe it was decided to go
among the business men the follow
ing day and raise the balance.
Thursday afternoon committee,
consisting of c. L. Sawyer, b. p.
Thompson, r. Heinbaugh ana w.
Fl. Turver started out to raise a little
more than $1,000. They were met
unexpected encouragement ana be-
fore Thursday noon the fail amount
was subscribed for. People were
ready in many instances ANA hanaei
out their cash without any explain
alton or solicitation on the part Of
the committee while at other times,
it was only a question as to how much
could be subscribed
This money goes to paying the
running expenses of the secretary's
Office, filing fees with the state and
the government when applying for
the segregation and the expenses of
attorneys in going to Washington to
appear before the department should
this be deemed necessary. In addi-
ton to these expenses is still an am
cunt of about $1,000 due the engin-
eer which must be paid
All those subscribing to the funds
will be given stock in the company at
the rate of 50 for ST. This stock will
be taken in exchange for water rights
after the segregation has been grant
ell. This is a good Investment and
anyone with surplus cash cannot go
wrong in buying stock in the COM
pany in this ratio as long as the
stock is offered. Only a limited am
cunt will be sold in this ratio.

of cooperation in hgthing frosts and
on the success which has been obtain
ed in this regard by the growers in
other parts of the northwest. The
exact date of Mr.. Beal's appearance

will be announced later.
Mr.. Mcpherson has likewise been
able to secure the cooperation of
Forecaster Wells of the Boise bureau
and he proposes to carry the cam
paign against Jack Frost throughout
the state 1t is his aim to get the
growers, not alone in the Boise val
ley, bu in the state to hear Mr. Beai

him at Twin Falls in orded that the
growers in that district may get the
benefit of Mr.. Bears advice.

"Wih the cooperation of the wea-

ieve that Idaho will not do as good
work in hghting the frosts as any
of the other fruit growing districts
in other states have done up to this
time"

Instead Of assessing property at
it's actual cash value, Lewiston citi-
zen suggests that the assessors apply
the search and seizure law and
thus dig up thousands Of dollars
worth of assessable property, which
has yearly been escaping taxation
without any effort upon its part. The
suggestion we believe is a good one
for it is a weyy known fact that in
every county in the state vast
amount of property escapes the as
SCISSORS eyes each year While the
theory of assessing property at its
cash value may be all right we fear
that the assessors of the state, in
their efforts to carry out this policy,
will run up against some nights hard
propositions and if they get through
the years work without going bug

question is indeed a dijcult one to
handle and do justice to all classes

We are today working under practi-
cally the same method of assessing
property as we did twenty years ago,
while other western states have en-
acted modern laws for the assessing
of property. If the recent legislature
had exerted half as much energy and
effort to remedy our antiquated rev.
enue as they did trying to burden our
statutes with freak sumputary laws.

the state, and probably have made

IT'S THE ELMORE IRRIGATION
COMPANY

For the past three years the gen
eral Impression has been going the
rounds that the Twin Falls com
pany, the United States Reclamation
service or some other concern
would come to the relief of this
community. On this belief large
number of our citizens have been
content to let developments ride
along in an Indifferent manner feel
ing that some kind Providence would
work out our salvation.
This is huge mistake. We must
get busy and work out our own sal
walton. No company. aside from our
own cooperative Gilmore Irrigation
company, can or will do anything
for us. The time is passing swift
ly and the work to be done to perfect
a sufficient water system for Noun
tain Home will require years and to
get the benefit Of this magnificent
coantry we must act now and not
wait
The district irrigation plan is good,
but that should be laid quietly and
peacefully away for all future time.

years an attempt was made to organ

in geometrical ratio.
Raising standards Of life is glori-
Gus; trying to srystallze life is damn
able.
Raising standards is never stand
ardizing
Raising standards is projecting ef-
hciency.
standardization is petrihcaton.
Life is never standardized; only
the inorganic can srystalize.
There is no such thing as petrfei
wood THAT which goes by that name
has no more trace Of organic life than
has the frost forest on the window.
That which we call petrihed wood is
purely a mineral substance that has
taken the place of the wood, replac-
ing every fibre so dantily and grace
fully as to leave every cell in perfect
form, retaining every finest tracery
Of fibre, though not a suspicion Of
anything is there that was ever or
ganic.
Standardization means the trans
ference of a living institution into
one that is inorganic. Every trace Of
life is removed, but it is done so
delicately that there remains even the
very cells and flament of that which
was once alive, but it is now no more
alive than the tree-shaped rocks in
Arizona

high school or college or the size of

a professor to draw a pension.
Nothing was ever standardized
without injecting into it an embalm-
ing fluid to preserve the form of the

A standardizer is no more, no less
than an up to date undertaken who
satisfies the bereaved friends that he
has made it impossible for the depart
ed to come to life.
Every great service rendered the
cause Of education from earliest tim
es has been by those who brought
life into institutions and methods.
The world has been cursed by
standardizers from Goliath to men in
the twentieth century. There has new

tried to standardize the suburbs of

ducing his work among the sons Of

THE MOUNTAIN HOME srlnIr

We have heard much of the Sc
attic spirit and the western spirit
that has done much to develop and
encourage the building Of empirse.
but the Mountain Home spirit as
exhibited during the past week bids
fair to turn the barren wastes of
this vicinity into fertile fields and
build a city that will be pride to
the entire west.
The liberal manner in which the
citizens OF Mountain Home came TO
the rescue and assistance Of the Ell
more Irrigation Company when as
sistance was most needed is indeed
commendable. The fund desired was
raised in a short time and a general
desire to have the project succeed
was expressed on an sides. But the
subscribing eff the various sums by
the citizens should not end their in
terest ia this company. The hnan-
cial assistance, although imperative
and necessary, should be backed up
by confidence and a moral support
that will do as much as the anan-
cial aid in making this scheme the
great success desired.
Confidence must come from with
IN The people Of Mountain Rome
must first place their confidence in
this proposition ami its ultimate sue
cess before tho outside can. be ask
to cooperate in any manner The peo-
pie living away from Mountain Home
will be guided in their actions by
general sentiment Of the people liv-
ing here and investments and money
Will find their way into the city only
when the people Of this city get be-
hind Mountain Home with their con-
fidence.
This knocking should cease Dis
couragements Of every form should
be eliminated from the efforts of
those trying to build up our country
and our city. The Elmore Irriga-
fion company is no different from
any company or promotion. 1t is
going to meet difficulties ana obs
tacles, and there will be questions
arising hard to solve But. these
questions are all going to be master
ed and all difficulties overcome and
the project made a success. 1t can
do no good for men to go about with
a long face and a small hommer at
tempting to enlarge upon the diff
ficulties the Gilmore Irrigation com
pany is bound to meet. DO not allow
anyone to speak disparagingly Of the
company in your presence. Do not
allow anyone to SOW seeds of discon-
tent in your mind or doubt as to the
nnal success of the Elmore Irriga-
fion company.
The splendid spirit of the past
week should be promoted and con
tinued. 1t is the spirit that wins
and will win for Mountain Home.
