WATCH NOUN
TAIN HOME GROW
Population of 5000 for This City
In 1912 is the Slogan of New
Booster Club.

With the above as their slogan
the enterprising hustlers of this
community are going to form an
organization to work for the ad-
vancement and prosperity Of
Mountain Home.
In order to arrange details and
get the machinery into smooth
running condition, a meeting will
be held next Tuesday afternoon,
January II, at 3 o'clock, at the
rooms formerly occupied by the
Commercial club.
One Of the main objects of this
organization, as stated above, is
to promote the growth of the
town, and, having this end in
view, no effort will be spared
to assist in every way possible,
any company proposing advanta-
geous improvements.
With the proper spirit of "a
strong pull, a long pull, and a
pull all together the citizens Of
this city can accomplish wonders
in bringing about right conditions
for the opening and settlement
of the rich, fertile land on every
side. When that is accomplished,
it will be a matter of only a very
short time before the 5000 popu-
lation mark is reached.

and finance caused considerable
debating between the Republican
and the Democratic members.
The Democrats claimed one more
member on this committee than
they were given. The Importance
OF these two committees makes it
desirable to be members of them.
The committee on State affairs
will conduct the investigation of
the State Land Board and the
Democrats do not believe it pos
sible to have the investigation
made impartially unless they are
fairly represented on the COM
mlttee.

Sub Rosa

Wednesday, January II, was
Educational Day at the Sub Rosa
club and the program, which was
in charge Of Mrs. f. S. Hawley
was of exceptional interest and
benefit.
Superintendent Warner and
Professor Hansen, of the High
School, gave interesting talks;
the former compal ing educational
advantages of to day with those
OF early days. Mr.. Hansen dis
cussed the sanitary improvements
that are gradually making their
way into the schools, and which
greatly lessen the danger Of .e.m
infection.
Mrs. Adair gave two instrumen
tai solos in her usual pleasing
manner.
The pupils of Miss Stevens
room entertained the club with
two motion songs.
A violin solo by Miss Lucille
Wolfe and a vocal solo with gui-
tar accompaniment, by Miss Mar
garet Watkins, closed one of the
best programs ever enjoyed by
the Sub Rosa club.
The next meeting will be social
in character and large attend
ance is expected.

1t is likely that comparatively
few residents of Mountain Home
realize the significance attached
to the Sawyer Fruit Ranch.
Situated about three miles
south Of the city, it occupies a
gentle slope and comprises 800
acres, Of which 240 acres are un-
der cultivation. 100 acres are
planted with fruit trees of differ
ent kinds, including apples pears,
and peaches. Some of the trees
are now three years old and the
rest are one year younger, and
all present an appearance of sur

PROGRESS OF
LEGISLATORS
A Resume of the Doings of the
Law Makers at the State
Capitol.

The Idaho Legislature is hare
at work now and henceforth, the
public will be greatly interested
in the proceedings Of that body
at our Capital City.
The first week is necessarily
entirely taken up in organization
and the appointment of the diff
ferent committees, and this is
not accomplished without some
hard scrapping.
Then the real legislative work
starts in earnest. To judge from
reports at present, bills galore
will be introduced, and some of
them are Of such Importance that
the vote Of each member will be
watched closely.
A bill creating a railway COM
mission is certain to be intro
duced, and the Republican mem
bers will have to stand by their
guns until such a bill is made a
law. Ex-Governor Frank r. Good
ing is the champion of the bill,
and it is dead certain that he
will remind the Republican mem
bers of their campaign pledge,
and no side tracking will be al
lowed.
The report is that bills provid-
ing for the Initiative, Referendum
and Recall are drafted and will
be introduced in due time by
Senator w. H. Hornibrook Of
Twin Falls. The bills for each
measure will be introduced and
dealt with separately.
As the Democratic members
almost as a unit, favor the enact
ment of such a law, and the
members have all pledged them
selves, it is safe to say that the
bills will have strong support.
Besides, the Republicans also
have expressed themselves in ia
vor of direct legislation, and the
people, regardless Of party affili-
alton, consider these measures of
the greatest Importance at the
present time.
Bills to amend the Sunday rest
law have been introduced and it
is hoped that the law, after GER
tain amendments are made, will
90 down on the statute in a form
satisfactory to the public in gen
eral.
Election of U. S. Senators di-
rectly by the people is also up for
this session, and a
large number of very important
bills will come before the law
and give them an oppor-
tunity to show their constituents
whether they will make good or
waste time and money on trivial

COMPANY HOLDS
ANNUAL MEETING
Officers For Ensuing Year El-
ected.-Engineer Adair Rem
ders Favorable Report.

The annual meeting of the FL
more Irrigation Company was
held in the Standard Opera
House last Monday, January 8,
in conformity with the bylaws.
The meeting was called to or
der at 2 P. M. by B. P. Thomp-
son, the second vice president,
and roll call of the stockholders
was made by the secretary, F. d.
Adams. The call showed that
quite a large number of stock
holders was present.
The next order of business was
the reading of the reports of til
secretary and treasurer. Then
Mr. Adair, chief engineer for the
company, was called upon for a
report as to what work has been
done by the surveying crew. Mr..
Adalr was quite optimistic in his
views concerning the possibility
OF Mountain Home getting large
area irrigated by the time the
necessary work is completed.
10 give the exact amount of
expenditures at present, he said,
was not possible as the survey
ing is not completed and, besides
the enlarging of dams on present
reservoirs and improvements on
canals, a new reservoir on Can
yon Creek is advisable, so as to
preserve a great amount of flol
water in the spring which now
runs to waste.
Mr.. Adair said that it would
not only be possible to water the
$4,000 acres, but he could
see no reaons why much larger
area could not also be irrigated.
Altogether the statements made
by so competent an engineer were
very encouraging for land holders
around Mountain Home.
The nomination and election of
directors to serve during the en-
suing year was then taken up
and the following directors were
elected: B. P. Thompson, Second
Vice President; e. Heimbaugh,
G. F. Wheeler, G. Z. Rogers, j.
W. Morton, f. P. AXE.

per cent of the apples were lost
and a few more Of the pears. OF
the 80 acres last planted, not
more than four per cent have
died and not one tree has been
winter killed.
Mr.. Sawyer expects to plat 40
acres in the spring and sell the
land in tracts of five and ten
acres.
This orchard represents a large
outlay OF money and is a forcible

complished on the land about

Cathedral Hall, in Boise, is an
ideal home for girls employed in

now TOO MUCH
SUPERFLUOUS DOG
ABOUT HONOLULU

That there are too many promiscuous
dogs in Honolulu is now the opinion
of many citizens who have so little de-
sire to see the capital of the Hawaiian
Islands follow in the footsteps of cur
ridden Constantinople, that they are
going to bring matters before the sup
ervisors and demand legislation on the
matter
A petition is now being draughted
embodying suggestions as to the prop
er mode of Keeping down the spare
canine crop and this petition will be
placed in the hands of the Oahu cen
trail improvement committee. Two
thousand signatures will be asked IN
order that the matter will go before
the city fathers with such a strong
backing that the fatal element of poll
ties will be taken out of it.
At the present time there is half
hearted law on the question that is sell
dom enforced, as almost every Ha-
waiian is the proud possessor of a coll
ony of flea bitten mongrels that live
entirely on the community eked out
and Favored by their masters affec-
ton for them. For the police to at
tempt to curtail this number would
mean the raising of storm of protest
among the greater part of the elector-
ate that would make any old kind of
police administration tremble in its
boots.
The present plan, among other
things, recommends that it be Illegal to
allow dog on the street after eight
O'Clock at night without the company
of his owner, and also would give the
police power to shoot on sight such
dogs ms we're abroad contrary to law.
