Why Not to squ.aw Creek?

When the new line gets to EN-
nett. and if the company is looking
for farther extensions, it will find
nothing better, more feasible OF
greater revenue producer than an
extension up the Squaw creek val
ley as far as Ola, at least. One
will have to go a long ways to
find a better or more productive
and prosperous farming region than
that valley. 1t is as versatile in
its products s it is prolific. 1t
is settled by thrifty class o. peo-
pie and there is plenty of room
for more. Owing to the abundance
of range, it is a stoekman's para
disc. Besides, such line would
tap a rich mineral and timber
country. The proposition is worth
looking into.

LAST CHANCE
POWER PLANT
Engineer Drawing Piars fer che
Proposed WOrks-Plenty of
Water

Owing to there being no quorum
present at the annual meeting oi
the Last Chance Ditch Company
Saturday, 10 definite action was
taken in regard to the proposed
electric power plant, mention OF
which was made in The Index two
weeks ago.
The proposition was dicussed,
however, at considerable length,
committee composed of DR.. R.
H. Greene, Herman Werle, and
H. w. Hollar was appointed to
make an investigation of its fea-
sibility and Ralph Crabtree was
employed to prepare plans and
give estimates of the power that
can be obtained.
According to Mr.. Crabtree's s
plans, which were completed yes
terday, there are three good power
sites, capable of developing with
3000-inch head of water anywhere
from 1872 to PIC horsepower. One
of the power sites is at the j. J.
Love waterwheel. A fall of 16A
feet can be obtained there and 1872
horsepower developed Farther
west, just above the intake of the
Farmers Cooperative canal, a
drop of 20 feet can be secured,
giving PIG horsepower At both
sites, the water would be return
I'd to the river just above
the intake into the Farm
ers canal. There is still another
site possible with a fall OF IS
,eet just below the Farmers canal,
but water would have to be car
led over that canal Mr. Crab
rec says that by increasing the
water supply from 1000 inches to
20 ,000-which can be done easily
md cheaply-the horsepower can
,e increased three times.
Another meeting will be held
saturday to consider the PROPOSE
ion.

a couple of weeks visiting his brot-

from his father for finding the

station on the summit it was dark.
He wandered around in the deep
snow for an hour without lind

became so exhausted that he con-
cluded to stay in a snow. bank all
night. He built fire of sage

crawled in and spent the night
there. His feet were badly frozen

ELECTRIC RAILROAD IN

Idaho Oregon Co. Planning
Line from Weiser to
Emmett

The latest railroad dope is that
the Idaho-Oregou Light & Power
Company, owners of the Boise &
IEterurbaE, will build two i'm
portant extensions of it's line
this year. One of them will ex-
tend from Caldwell to Weiser and
the other from Weiser to Emmett
and continuing from this point
to connection with the Interur-
ban at Star.
Engineers, it is stated, will be
put in the field as soon as weather
conditions will permit, and not
till then will it be possible to de-
termine the route so far as it e.
fects Emmett. However, as the
power line traverses the bench, it
is quite likely that that route
will be followed as far as Falks.

at a meeting of the telephone u.s.

Superintendent Jones of Boise, and
will be the subject of a confer

its scope the entire Payette val

discontinue their phones unless

success, over so per cent having
signed the agreement, and assur-

Their Effect on the digestive Or
g:,us Responsible for Many "f
the SPasOu'S Ills

Summer should be the period of
perfect health. but impure water
and milk, unripe fruit, and the ten
dency to indulge in acid foods and
iced drinks, produce contrary con-
dition in many people.
The effect of the average summer
I diet is to constipate even normally
regular bowels, and this results in
disarranging the entire digestive sys-
tenn. When the bowels are choked
with the stomach's refuse, indiges-
ton is almost sure to follow, and the
waste matter that should pass out
through the bowels, not finding pas
sage, ferments in the stomach and
the poisons are forced into the blood,
causing much distress and often
serious illness.
To keep the bowels free, there is
no more effective remedy than DR.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This is
pleasant-tasting bowel stimulant and
laxative tonic that is very gentle in
its action, bringing relief in an easy
natural manner, and without discom-
fort. A spoonful of Syrup Pepsin
will quickly check summer diarrhoea
by cleansing the bowels and remov-
ing the foreign matter that irritates
and infames the tissue. 1t is sold
in drug stores for fifty cents a bot
tie; large family size, considerably
more than twice the quantity, costs a
dollar. If you have never used Syrup
Pepsin and would like free trial

ADVICE TO VOTERS.
Disapproves Candidates Being
Interroaated on the Stump.

Editor County Record:
We note with approval the timely
suggestion to the county Chairman
made in last weeks issue Of The
County Record by w E NJ from
Cades. He said, The unpleasant
episodes and disgraceful scenes which
mark and mar many county cam
paign meetings throughout the State
are caused by making State politics
an issue in the county campaigns.
Now, if the citizens of old Will
liamsburg county would mediate
seriously and calmly, would they
endeavor to precipitate breach be-
tween the supporters of Blease and
Jones?
But, more seriously, would anyone
presume to agitate question on
the stump or elsewhere, seeking the
retirement of such noble, brave, un-
daunted, dutiful officials as the ones
we are so fortunate to entrust our
county affairs with?
Let each voter exercise his God
given privilege and choose for him.
self. This is a prerogative that We
as American citizens are blessed
with. and you can't take it away
from US. So do away with factional
strife and clique. Ask no partisan
question, but vote for the candidate
who you think will fill the.office with
the greatest proficiency.
