PLENTY Of
WATER
SETTLERS NEED HAVE NO
FEAR FOR WATER SUPPLY
NEXT SEASON

That the settlers in his section
Of the country will be supplied wit
all the water they need this coming
season is the statement made by
John L. Mcpherson, agricultural
and horticultural superintendent,
and director of the demonstration
farms Of the Idaho Irrigation COM
pany. These farms are located at
Rlchfield and Dietrich.
Mr.. Mcpherson yesterday said:
I'VE have 100000 acres Of ir-
rigated lands, and both Of our ex-
pertinent farms hive been distainct
successes. The produce which we
raised there took premiums in many
fairs during the past year, and we
expect to repeat the performance
this coming season.
MANY settlers are coming into
the country and we have two OF
three times the amount of land IN
der cultivation now over that whic
was being titled but short time
ago. Everything is working out
to the satisfaction Of the farmers
and the company.
Our reservoir is done. The dam
is $50 feet through at the base, 40
feet in height and is feet through
at the top. The capacity is 100000
acre feet, which means that we
have sufficient supply for the
watering of 10000 acres Of land
We have all the water that is
needed this year and, as l have
stated. the company and the farm
ers are in the best OF condition and
there is "a general feeling Of salts
faction prevailing in the country.
The farmers on the tracts in that
section are taking advantage Of the
most improved methods for the cul-
tivation Of their land and for the
planting Of their crops. and the re-
SUITS which are being obtained are
most satisfactory. - Statesman.

sNOwsLIDE IN 0UIGLEY GULCH

A snowslide in Quigley Gulch
last Friday almost destroyed the
home of George Shirley.
Gilbert Bowrestock, who felt
somewhat nervous on hearing OF
the slide, had Fred Lewis go up to
the Shirley ranch yesterday and he
returned to town today.
The snowslide missed the house
about six feet. It struck a corner
of the cellar, which is in the rear
of the house, and changed the
course of the slide.
It went through the corral and
completely demolished the barn and
carried away a small stack Of hay
Two horses and a COW were also
buried in the snow. The horses
were found alive but the cow has
not been found.-Hailey Times.

BY patronizing home merchants
you are rewarded by always having

will benefit you in more ways than
one. You are rewarded by seeing
your patronage and the patronage
of your influence in building up

patronize home merchants, home in
dustry and home enterprises of all
kinds in preference to those Of any
place. Spend your money at home
with people who have intereses IN
your town. By doing this the town
is kept up, property is made more
valuable. cOnveniences are enlarged
and opportunities for financial i'm

The purpose of store advertising

reach the greatest number OF peo-

a newspaper you follow the lines o

the stream-you talk to an audience
assembled, to the people
who want to read-their mental
