REsURREcT, YE.

A commercial club, in view Of our
promised and promising early bet
terment as live community, is a
common topic. Organization Of such
a body on the general plan pursued
in all thrifty and growing towns is
needed here, and with as little de-
lay, too, as possible. Never before
has the necessity for such an or
ganization been SO urgent; never be-
fore has the general good of all de-
manded 1t, and never before have
we had anything which could legiti-
mately enlist the enthusiasm and
boosting properly the function of an
organized body of earnest and intelli.
gent business men. Right now is the
proper time; let's have it; the out
side world is waiting to hear from
Mountain Home-the new Mountain
Home.

NEW BUSINESS LAUNCHED

NEW BUSINESS LAUNCHED.
A new real estate dealer opened an
office this week in the old quarters
occupied by the South Idaho Land
and Real Estate Company-and it's
Rich Thompson. You know Rich. of
course; everybody knows him, and
likes him, too, which isn't at all to
be wondered at. His likableness is
not to be attributed to Rich's beauty
of form and face lover which we
draw the veil of charity--they need
IT'D; neither is it because the old
dude Is a dude In the matter of fol-
lowing the fashions each season, be-
cause he don't, won't and cant.
We've heard him say SO, and this
ought to settle it, which it does.
People generally love the homely old
bat because his loyal to his friends,
loyal to his city and the people in
it.; tells the truth as he sees it, and
he sees clarly as rule, so that one
need scarcely feel anxious when once
told this or that is thus and SO, by
Rich. And because of these charac-
teristics it is foregone certainty
that this new real estate dealer is
going to do some business, make
some money for himself as we'll as
Others and-we're doggone glad of it.

HOTEL BUSINESS PICKING ur

Hotels report gratifying improve
ment in business conditions, even
prior to confirmation Of the Beet
Sugar company sale to Mr.. Brady
which has awakened an interest in
Mountain Home thit no other sins
thing could have accomplished. Va
cant rooms and dining room seats
are happily no longer a daily eyesore
to the hotel arrangements here and
the apparent determination of,,r Bra,
dy to commence operations on the irri-
cation system without delay bids
fair to make necessary further and
more extensive additions to the var
ious hostelries Of the city. Revival
Of business cannot be denied, as 1t is
even now showing a healthier tone,
daily improving, as the promised
early spring approaches. And all the
people are boosting.

SAVED HIS RAscALLY SON
How Mansard Came to Construct the
Great Hall at Aries Without
Central Pillar.

The great hall Of the Hotel de vile
OF Aries. France. designed by Man
sard, Is the wonder and admiration OF
every one who has seen 1t on account
OF the groined roof.
In regard to this a neighboring
cafetier tells a somewhat grim story
King Louis XIV. happened to be pass
Ing through the city just at the time
Mansard was experimenting the com.
pletion Of his creation The roof was
supported by powerful pillar The
monarch admired the work and con-
graduated the architect on his design.
At that moment the architect was
passing through great domestic trIbu-
iation. He had son under sentence
OF death, 30 he thought 1t would be
good opportunity to intercede on be-
half OF the lad.
Mansard threw himself at the feet
OF the king and said: "Your majesty
sees In the center that massive col
umn? II you will spare. the life OF my
son VIII remove the unsightly pillar
and the roof shall stand without sup
port" "Mansard," replied the king,
III you accomplish that miracle will
pardon your son, but II you fall will
hang you with him"
The architect removed the pillar
without great difficulty and with the
result desired. The cafetier is
philosopher and he concludes his story
with the reflection that bad not Man.

|EX-COY. BRADY GIVEN
A ROUSlNC RECEPTION
People Of Town and Surrounding Country
Gather Enmasse to Greet the Distinguished
Promoter. General Spirit Of Optimism seems
to Pervade the Assemblage.

Inc reception rendered to Ex@IOV
ernor Brady on Wednesday evening
was an unqualified success and re
fleets credit upon those who promot
ed it.
The splendid gymnasium on the UP
per floor of our school building fur
nished an excellent room for the pur
pose.
At an early hour the crowd began
to gather so that when the writer
arrived, about thirty minutes before
the program commenced, he found
good standing room.
The Committee, with their guest
Of honor, together with Mr.. Win H.
Gibson and Mayor Ticknor occupied
the platform; the genial Harry being
in the chair.
The program, which Of necessity
was hastily arranged, indicated the
spontaneous outflow of good will on
tie part Of those who gave their
services
The gathering, as whole, was all
that any man could desire, it was
an indication that the people are with
Mr.. Brady.
After short talk by the Mayor
and manly introduction by Mr.. Glib
son, Mr.. Brady took the floor. With
a few pleasantries as prelude the
speaker launched into a frank, bust
nesslike statement OF what he pro-
jIlsed to do. At the same time it
was quite evident that he was taken
by the reception accorded him as in
fact no man could help but be. In
the course of his address Mr.. Brady
said: The old canal is utterly USE
less and the money expended on it
this year will be thrown away. In
a humorous strain he told the audi
ence how he happened to get hold Of
the water project here, that Harry
Watkins called him up saying that he
(Watkins) had bought the Great
Western Beet Sugar System for
$56,546.79 and that he had the 70
cents himself and wondered II he
would furnish the balance. Mr.. Brady
said that he told Mr.. Watkins he had
just completed one system and did
not care to tackle a new one just
now, but needed rest. But" he
added, you all know how Harry can
talk, and finally got me interested"
Il have built the cheapest irriga-
CATION system in Idaho, where the cost
Of water was only six dollars per acre
and now | am going to build sys-
tenn where the water will be one
hundred dollars per acre, and still,
| can assure you that ! am conf
dent that you Mountain Home people
will make more profit per acre than
The people did who got their water
rights for six dollars per acre as
you have a soil far superior and one
that will warrant the greater expen-
1iture." He then related his visit
to Mr.. Sawyer's and Mr.. Helm
3augh's fruit ranches and told how he

ure. II can bring water here to
water only 10000 acres | will not
make one cent profit, but If can
lring water here to cover 30. .0US
acres will make good profit.
He made some scathing remarks
about Garrett's business methods and
assured the people that such methct
should not be repeated, and that he
staked his reputation on his business
dealings. He told them that the
canals fumes etc. are entirely worth
less, Ca fact too we'll known to the
people here) but stated that the
fumes and canals would be repaired
temporarily for this season and the
cost for maintenance would be $2.00
per acre, but added In his generous
spirit that II a party should be un-
able to pay that amount they should
no be deprived of water for that rea-
sen. Such remarks made by Mr..
Brady showed the man in whose
hands they have placed their destiny
after years OF hardships, is the true
type Of a man and the enthusiastic
reception given Mr.. Brady by the citi-
zens of Mountain Home shows that
they are all confident on that point.
Another remark by Mr.. Brady
which showed his good feeling for
the people was: after years of dis
appointments and constant expendi-
lures to hold your land, many of you
may think 1t necessary to sell your
land for what price 1t will bring Do
not sacrifice your property. but hold
on to 1t. There will come people
here who will buy property and pay
the price,"
The enthusiasm Of the great audience
was aroused when the speaker de-
clared most emphatically: Il will get
the water here If it takes my entire
fortune"
A statement of this character from
a man Of acknowledged business in
tegrity ought to be sufficient.
Taken altogether it was decided
sensible way of bringing together
those who will be constantly In touch
In a business way for years to come.
1t was good business proposition,
in that 1t acted In the clearing away
Of cobwebs and dispelling OF preju-
dice. In a word, 1t was an express
sion Of mutual confidence which is
always an inestimable asset in the
furthering of business success. In
fact, 1t Is in itself an assurance Of 4
the dawn Of better day. Henceforth
let the "knocker" feel the weight of
taboo" but let the booster boost
till he boosts.

N MEMORY OF A LOVING
FATHER


The family band again is broken;
Our father dear, is gone;
God has called him home to heaven;
He has joined the happy throng.
In the quiet Of the evening;
Just before the twilight came;
With his loved ones near his bedside
He heard some one call his name.
Twas the voice of his dear Savior,
Who SO softly whispered, come!
Leave this world of care and sorrow
For your everlasting home.
His dear voice we loved to hear.
Is hushed and still in death;
1t was the will Of Him" who died,
The world to save, to take away
his breath.
His cold hands are folded now
Upon his lifeless breast;
The world rolls on in grief and sin.
But our father is at rest.
Oh, he was SO pleased and happy,
AS he gazed on that bright shore;
Saw James and John with Gods
boatman
Come to bear him safely Ger.
He has crossed Deaths" sea
Where there is no pain or care;
While it leaves us sad and lonely,
Together they are happy there.
Oh how grieved we are at parting;
How our hearts are wrung with pain
But there is one consolation, If we
are faithful,
We are sure to meet again.
But we would not recall him
To this world SO full of gloom;
He grows happier every moment,
With his golden harp. and crown.
He has only gone before US
To his heavenly home above;
Where with Jesus and his angels,
All 10 JOY and peace and love.
So we will toll on down life's valley
While swift the moments fly,
Where we will greet again our loved
ones
Never more to say good bye"
In sympathy,
M. e. r..
