Great Country Near Richfield

and trout, and mountain sheep and
goats, in these mountains. Only last
week, the herder in charge Of one Of
sheep photographed for the movies,
killed 600-pound brown bear. But it
is the great, majestic mountains and
the crisp, invigorating air and the spar
king waters and the pines that attract
most. It's all near enough to be real
neighborhood asset. 1t helps to make
this country great!
You can reach all this country with
almost any kind of conveyance. The
party passed two side cars on the Gal
ena summit, the men running the cars
and the women-in overalls, and coats
and overcoats of dust from a weeks
camping and they seemed to have no
trouble with the four-mile, Is per cent
grade. You can travel over q good
auto road, for 200 miles through the
mountains after leaving HALEY. 1t is
a wonderful trip, by horseback, wagon
or auto. When the state road is fn-
ished through Richfield, and is rsined
on and worked so as to make the boul-
evard it should be, there will be thous-
ands of tourists through here every
season to the Sawtooth Wonderland.
1t wouldn't be bad idea to plan the
trip for yourself for next season.
When you 90 to the San Francisco
fair, and find some of these magnifi-
cent Sawtooth pictures stuck around
for everybody to wonder at, and the
movies running night and day in the
Idaho building to depict the mountain
life that you can almost see from your
back door in Ricnfeld, it will be easy
to believe that these Sawtooth mount
ain peaks, these big neighbors of ours,
are very important items for Idaho and
the whole country.

An imposing party went from Rich.
field, Saturday, for a trip to the noun
tain lakes at the head of the Salmon
river in the Sawtooth mountains. The
party comprised Manager M. R. Kays,
Secretary Essley, d. L. Grier and En-
gineer Crosby of the Idaho Irrigation
Company; VIM. NJ Grier of Phoenix,
Arizona; w. S. Parkhurst and Chas. j.
Lisle of Richfeld; Prof. James w.
Jones, special agent for the state in
gathering and arranging the great Ida
no exhibit for the San Francisco expo
sition; and Walter ]. Lubken, special
photographer for the U. s. reclamation
service and for the state of Idaho.
The expedition and its baggage filled
three autos clear to the brim. There
was the Kays Overland, the Essley
Hupmobile, and the Crosby Ford. And
in all the almost 300 miles. including
the climb over Galena Summit, 8,759
feet in altitude. there was not an acci-
dent, not puncture, not so much as
an upholstery nail pulled loosel Thet's
a pretty good testimonial to the three
driversl
The first stop was on the Big Wood
river, to get some photos for the fair.
The next was at the Magic Dam, where

staged 1t will put this section ION

if the film is right it will be put on the
circuit to show all over the country.
Three other movie set-ups were staged,
one on the Big Wood several miles
above Ketchum, and = magnifcently
spectacular one on Lake Creek, between
the Upper and Lower Red Fish Lakes
Other movie pictures were taken; a
bathing scene at Guyer Hot Springs,
a panorama of Lower Red Fish Lake
and the magnificent Sawtooth range in
the background; one of camp scene;
one of the highest spring on the Galena
Summit, the beginning of an irriga
ton SYSTEM and many still pictures
of mountain and river scenes.
All this magnificent mountain and
river country is directly tributary to

School Opens September 9Th.

An interesting school election was
held Tuesday afternoon, TO elect two
school trustees to fill the places left va
cant by the expiration of the terms OF
B. w. Reeves and R. ]. Lennon. The
election was neld next door to the poll
ing place for the primaries, and it was
larger school vote than all the other
school elections in Richfield rolled in
one. There were eight candidates on
the ballot, R. ]. Lennon and A. G.
Draper finally securing the largest num-
ber of votes.
School opens next Monday, Septem-
ber 9Th, for the year. 1914-15. The cen
sus has not yet been taken, but it is ex-
pected to show good gain over last
year. The total will be considerably
larger, because of the number of child
rem in the Kimama district. where the. Z
there are about 20 children on the dry
farms opened up the past year.
The district has two new school build
ings, each 28x40 feet, one at Kimama
and the other in the rear of the Older
building in Richfeld. The one here is
needed to care for the present school
population; any conside ~able increase
next year will require additional room.
All the grades will be filled, and from
the experience as shown by the recon-
n.endations of the teachers, it will be
a most superior teaching force. The

Work Begun On the City Hall

G. S. Hopes was awarded the con-
tract for excavating the basement for
the city hall building, and he began the
work Friday morning. The building is
to be rushed along so that it will be
ready for occupancy this winter.
The building is to be 40x90 feet, and
will be of concrete under ground, stone
for the next feet to the top of the
lower floor, and brick above that. No
ground floor ceiling is to be put in at
present, but the brick walls will now
be carried up another 5 feet and the
roof built on that. Later, when the
upper room is needed, the brick walls
can be carried up another 10 feet, the
roof raised, the floor put in, and it will

be full two-story hall.
But for the present it will be one
story structure, four feet below street
level and with side walls IL feet above;
and with the peak of the roof "a feet
above the floor. The roof will be franz
ed so as to offer as little obstruction as
possible to the free passage of sound.
The hall should have the very best of
acoustic properties. A stage will be
put in that will accommodate all but
the very largest operate or dramatic
productions.
1t will be hall of which the town
can well be proud. There is only one
other municipal hall its equal in South
ern Idaho--at American Falls.

board took plenty of time to consider
the applications submitted, with what
appears to be excellent results.
A lot of equipment for the chemical
and physical laboratory was added just
before the close of last school year, and
will be on hand for teaching use this
year. Much of it has to do with the
teaching of farm chemistry and phys
les. Much attention will be given to
everything of practical nature that
can help to make everyday life more
prosperous and attractive.
