WORK OF COM.
BRING RESULTS
Governor Brady Makes Changes Of
Importance That Work to
The Betterment Of
All Concerned

The situation regarding the irri-
cation proposition In this district is
looking first class, and all conditions
are materially improved, and the
get together spirit is largely In
evidence. The largest land owners
in this vicinity have shown their faith
in the operations Of the company.
Former Governor Brady was here
a few days ago in conference with the
committee appointed by the water
users at the last mass meeting and
We understand several changes have
been made that will materially bene-
fit the water users.
AS we understand the result OF the
work of the committee to date IL q
proposition to make all water rights
$500 and $500 per acre, In place
of $500 and $4,000 per acre. with
the same Is year terms, as to pay.
ment and interest, with the proviso
that anyone who wish can pay for
their water right, or any portion
thereof in ten acre units any time
within tive years, at the rate Of s65
and $500 per acre, thereby recely-
ing an additional reduction OF $1,000
per acre from the $500 and $500.
We understand that those having
already signed up, some 1900 acres,
get the same reduction on their wat
er, that is SIS and $85, and the same
privilege Of the further reduction
of $40 an acre for cash within the
five years period. One OF the condi-
tions. as we understand It, Ia that
the committee get 3,700 acres sign
ed up by the first OF Februry, 1918.
From the fact that when this pro-
position is finally In readiness to
submit to the water users It will
be the very best obtainable and the
further fact that when the addition
al 5000 acres OF water is brought
down, there Is no possibility of any
more water being obtainable for use
before 1915, It should only be a ques-
tion who is fortunate enough to get
In on It, and especially so as 1t is
agreed that no more water Ia to be
sold at these prices stated in the
agreement.
So far we have heard nothing but
praise for the actions Of Governor
Brady in making the above conces-
sions, and, for the committee In out
lining the agreement as outlined
above. Mountain Home wears q
brighter aspect than ever before.
Let every one put his shoulder to
the wheel and pull for a better and
more prosperous community.

IDAHO sPuDs NOT AFFECTED

IDAHO sPUDs NOT AFFECTED
It Is the claim OF the Oregon Short
Line railroad that a great injustice
is being done to Utah and Idaho
through the publication throughout
the country of dispatches carried by
the press agencies with reference
to alleged potato diseases in Utah
and Idaho. One dispatch In particu-
lar says the November Arrowhead,
which has just reached the city,
states that an investigation OF pota-
to diseases is being carried on in
Washington, and that the disease
in question has baffled farmers in IT.

D. E. Burley, general passenger
agent OF the Oregon Short Line, gave
the facts several days ago in the way
he knows them. Mr.. Burley states
that there is practically no potato

that 1t is true that Colorado has
been seriously affected for the last
three or four years, and the potato
crop this year may be q partial fail
ure, but the diseases are of differ
ent species from those encountered
In Utah.
The greatest menace, according to
Mr.. Burley, lies in the danger of
having these troubles introduced
through the importation of infected
seed potatoes. Neither Utah or ID
aho has any law which enables them
to quarantine.-Salt Lake Tribune.

IDAHO DAIRY IN DANGER

]. #. Littooy, who Is recognized as
an authority on horticulture and ag-
riculture in this state, feels that the
next secretary of agriculture will hold
the power to make or break small
farmers In the state Of Idaho. "If
man from one of the southern
states Is chosen by President-elect
Wilson to fill the position in his cab
met, he will very likely be partial
to the oleo-margarine interests" says
Mr.. Littooy. If such thing should
happen the Idaho dairyman would be
practically forced out Of business, as
the sale of oleo-margarine on a large
scale would force what little profit
there Is In butter fat down to moth
ing. 1t is a recognized fact that the
cow is the salvation Of the small
farmer as 1t brings him a small but
sure income. II the farmer is de-
prived Of this asset he has to depend
entirely on his chances to sell his
produce, and 1t is a well known fact

mand for the crop that was harvest

Braving the horrofs Of Friday, the
thirteenth of the month, thirteen Of
Bruneau's youth and beauty piled in
to wagon and went out to Senator
Pence's house on Friday night last
for good time.
The wagon was an ordinary Stude-
baker size and the thirteen had to
pack themselves in like sardines.
Tim SINNERS reclined gracefully up
on the shoulders of very fair one,
while another t. o. found that his
outstretched feet made more or less
comfortable seat. Clyde Noble and
Jack Tuggle obtained seats of hon
or on the edge OF the tailboard Of
the wagon and guarded the life pre-
servers. A couple Of the ladies had
to take their shoes off to make room
for their feet and Will Plumb doubled
himself up and sat on his heels.
Otherwise there was plenty Of room.
When the bunch arrived at the
Pence mansion they found all Of Hot
Springs and some Of Wickahoney
waiting and five hundred battle
