Kind Words for The Index

In renewing their subscription, Mr..
and Mrs. Jack Young of Sweet glad
den the heart of the editor with the
following CHEEKY and encouraging let
ter.
eve know of nothing else for the
same amount of money that brings
US so much pleasure as your bright
and CHEEKY paper, Christmas would
be no happy time at all without it.
We really consider it the best and
newsiest county paper that we have
ever read. The only fault we can find
with it is, that it is not published in
our own Squaw Greek Valley, where
its talented editorial staff could have
greater opportunity to portray the
lovely scenery, the healthful climate,
the fertile soil, the abundant crops,
and the well bred stock of this beauti-
full valley, for which it has long been
famous. Among our many natural
advantages, such as native forests
close at hand and numerous cold
springs bubbling from the heart of
the mountains, we consider the fam
Gus Tucker hot springs the very great
est. AS cure for rheumatism, they
are surely unsurpassed. 1t is truly
unfortunate that everyone in the
world suffering from rheumatism or a
kindred disease cannot take few
baths in these springs and be cured
at once. We wish you a merry
Christmas and very prosperous
New Year as you send abroad your
of good cheer"

DIED

Joseph L. Reed, one of the stalwart
pioneers of this section, died Tuesday
morning after an illness of nearly a
years duration. The news of the
death of Mr.. Reed will bring sorrow to
many people scattered throughout this
section of the state. Few men have
been blessed with so many friends
and none bound them to himself with
stronger ties. He was a man of
sturday character and honesty and up
right of purpose. AS a citizen he was
patriotic and progressive. In poll
tics he was a strong partisan. On
public and moral questions he had
firm convictions and he was generally
right. To his wife and children he
was devoted and he was idolized by
them. During his long sickness his
sons were his constant companions
and nurses day and night, and
his sufferings were lightened and his
last days made happy by the loyalty
and devotion of not only his wife, but
also of his children. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. C.
L. Walker at the Methodist church
this afternoon, and the body was laid
to rest in the Emmett cemetery.

IDAHO PICTURE HERE.
next Week
Picture Story of States Re-
sources to be Shown at Elec-
trio Theater

Emmett people will be given a
great opportunity to see the greatest
collection of pictures setting forth
in moving pictures most interesting
and instructive story of the gigantic
development of the resources of Ida
no.
There are wonderful things in Ida
no. There are also wonderful ways
of doing things, like the gigantic
tramways that carry logs across can
yons and over mountains from the
forest to the sawmill, almost auto
matte machinery used in the sawmills,
modern methods of mining, etc
things so wonderful and resources so
tremendous and varied that the or
binary man has no conception of.
Much of this will be pictured ney'
Monday and Tuesday evening at the
Electric theater. 1t is impossible to
give the program, but if it is in Ida
no its in the program. Some of the
subjects are melodramatic, some are
tragic, some are epical, lyrical, agri-
cultural, industrial, and all with seem
arios full of action, both active and
passive. Livestock, horticulture, solv-
ing the bread problem, the story of
a beefsteak, an irrigation story, from
forest to drawing room, largest saw
mill in the world mining, game, and as
beautiful scenery as ever dared to
show its face in the Alps or anywhere
else, are only some of the features of
this program. Included vii be many
of the orchard scenes and the methods
of handling fruit in the Emmett
country.
The pictures are given under the
auspices of the Commercial Club.
The program will be changed the Sc
cond night. On Tuesday afternoon at
2:30 a matinee will be given. The
night program will consist of six
reels. The price is Is cents for school
children and 20 cents for adults. No
one should fail to see this, the
greatest collection of pictures of the
greatest state in the union ever as
capohlad

work, are as follows: Lynette Davis,
Grace Exum, Belle McCrossin, Helen

Dogs Corner Coyote.

Passengers on the Monday morning
Idaho Northern train were treated to
a coyote chase on top of the divide
when three shepherd dogs ran down
a large coyote. The wolf was cor
nered near the summit and the train
was stopped while the passengers
watched the fight. The odds were too
great against the coyote and it was
put out of its misery by one of the
brakemen, who shot it. Will Whit
sell, on the bench, says coyotes are
so numerous, audacious and dar-
ing in his neighborhood that one
morning this week two of them ran
his dog into corner and came near
making meal of him.

HOT SPRINGS AWAIT
ING Development
Waters Have Exceptional Cura-
tive PrOperties-Supply
Abundant

Almost at Emmett's doors are To-
Gated a series Of hot springs awaiting
capital and enterprise to develop
them and make them of beneficial use
to mankind. Now, the immense
quantity of water that gushes from
these springs is almost wasted.
The springs are located a few miles
above the mouth of 5quaw Creek and
about seven miles from Emmett. They
are seven in number and the flow is
strong and constant. The water is
close to the boiling point. There is
enough water going to waste to heat
every building in city many times
larger than Emmett, to furnish a
plentiful supply for bath house and
sanatorium. All that is needed is
capital to develop the springs and con-
struct pipe lines to convey the waters
to this city, where they may be made
of benefit.
The waters possess curative prop
critics equal to any In the country.
Those afflicted with rheumatism who
have tried the baths have been cured.
Skin diseases and affections of the
blood are benefited and cured. At
present, portion of the water is
used in small bath house close by,
but the transportation facilities for
reaching the place are so meager that
very few avail themselves of it. This
institution is owned by ]. H. Tucker.
Adjoining are more springs, owned
by F. A. DeClark.
The development of these springs
offer fattering inducements for in
vestment, and would doubtless inter
est capitalists if brought to their at
tention.

Want Better Mail Facilities.

An effort is being made on the part
of our citizens to have a more eff
cient mail service inaugurated, which
will certainly meet with the approval
of the patrons of the two rural routes
who now get their daily papers when
from one to three days old. During
the past week Postmaster Waring
has been holding the two carriers for
the morning mail except when it
came in too late.

EMMETT CANNED PEACH
SUPREME
Has Made Its Way in the
Markets by Reason of
Superiority

Emmett canned peaches are fast
coming into their own. In spite of
the fercest of Competition they have
won their way in the Eastern markets
by reason of their superiority, and
jobbers, who once refused to even con-
slider them, are now clamoring to have
their orders filed.
Now, the West is beginning to real
ize that the best canned peach, and
the one that consumers are demand
ing is grown and canned in En-
NETT. Because of an actual test MADE
recently in Boise between the highest
grade California canned peach and
the Emmett goods, another victory
was scored and Emmett canned
peaches may be found on the shelves
of Boise's best grocery stores and will
be jebbed by the wholesalers.
The peach which has turned this
trick is the Orange Cling. And right
here is a pretty strong hint for
growers:
If you want to build up the EN-
nett factory into a big institution
and if you want other similar
factories to locate here, you must
grow a canning peach. The Or
ange Cling is one of them and an
other is the Lowell.
The Emmett canning factory has
had hard road to pull, but things
look brighter now. Every case of
canned goods put up this year was
sold, and every can sent out is its
own booster, because of its superior
contents. The plant was run to its
capacity.
An effort is now being made to Sc
cure additional capital, with good
prospects of success. The plant will
then be enlarged and enabled to fill
the orders that are coming and viii
continue to come for the output. The
growers can help, by planting part
of their orchards to peaches suitable
for canning.
The Index a few months ago made
the statement that there was little
chance to get another canning fac
tory until the one we have was made
a success. There is room for an
other, but before we can induce an
other to locate here, the one we have
must be built up to a successful
standpoint. To do this, Mr.. Field
must have the cooperation and sup
port of every grower as well as of
every Emmett citizen. The super
iority of the product has opened a
way for success along big Lines
Won't you get in ara help make it
possible for a bigger success next
year?
