MAIL CONTRACT
PLAN APPROVED
Inspector NeiPs Star Route Con-
tract Plan is Fair to all
Concerned

To Pryor l.. Neil, postal inspector
FOR this district, belongs the credit
for devising and securing approval
from the post office department at
Washington for the best and fairest
contract for carrying mail on star
routes that has ever been adopted by
the government.
Under his plan, which is to be
put into effect on all routes In this
district, 1t is said no contractor
stands to lose q cent by reason of his
contract provided he uses the same
business judgment that would be re.
Iulred under the old contract before
they were upset by the coming parcel
post.
These contracts, under the new
plan devised by Mr.. Neil, require
each contract to be made in two di-
visions, or in reality, two contracts
for each route. Under one contract
agreement Is made for the carrying
of all first and second class matter,
such as the letters and newspapers,
the quantity of each of which can be
estimated to reasonable certainty
oy past experience.
The second contract is for all mat
ter above the first and second class
mail, which includes parcel post mat
Ter. On this, bids are received at so
much per 1000 pounds, with protec-
tive provisions such as that extra
trips shall not be required for parcels
post matter weighing in the aggregate
1000 pounds, and the like.
Most Of the contracts for this divi-
sion have already been made, but
nhene ara still few left, some of
Lhem being some of the best in the
service. These Mr.. Neil expects TO
0e let in short time now that the
fair provisions recommended by him
have been approved at Washington. -

Governor Haines received q com

the commissioner of the genera

River Irrigation company project
just out of Mountain Home. This
puts another of the Idaho Carey act

This project was launched in 1910
1t will include, when completed
about $500 acres of Carey act land
and practically the same amount OF
desert entry and homestead entries.
1t has cost to date approximately
$325,000. It is a pumping PROPOSE
ton, getting its water from the Snake
river. o. J. Taylor is president,
Edwin Snow secretary, and Karl
Paine treasurer.
Land board officials are claiming
part of the credit for the satisfactory
outcome of the enterprise. The sys-
tenn was in bad way and many
complaints were filed with the board
Finally State Engineer King was Or
dered to make a thorough inspection
and report. This he did. His report
called for the immediate expenditure
of an additional $4,000 to put til
canals in good condition. The report
was accepted in good faith by the
company, the money was expended
and the needed repairs made. The
approval of the project by the gov
ernment officials is the final out
come.
In his letter to the register and
receiver of the local United States
land office the commissioner speaks
in the highest terms of the pump
ing plant and says there is 20 times
the amount of water needed.
The power for the pumps is Sc
cured from the Great Shoshone &
Twin Falls Water Power company.
The commissioner also orders the

A Record Year Closed.

On Saturday next, August 1st Mr..
A. l.. Wood, minister in charge of the
Episcopal church in Mountain Home
completed his first year of service in
our midst
| Although services did not actually
commence until the second Sunday
in August the 9th, Mr.. Wood and his
| family arrived on the first In
Mountain Home from Boise where he
had been employed as business man
ager of st. Luke's Hospital, which is
an Episcopal institution, and also Of
ficiated as minister of Grace Episco-
pal church on the East side.
From the second Sunday in August
until now regular services have been
held in the Episcopal Church and the
Church has been gradually growing
in strength and usefulness.
1t was predicted by many, who had
been watching the progress of this
church in the past, that it would
be impossible for it to recover from
the many severe settacks it had
received.
Practically no services had been
held in the church for over a year and
its adherents had become scattered
and Indifferent, many had become
affiliated with other denominations
of the town and were reluctant to-
again take up the work of their own
church for the reason that they like
others, imagined that it would be
almost impossible under the existing
conditions to support minister and
his family. This however, was soon
proved to be possible and the work
commenced again with vigor that
was amazing to all who watched.
With few exceptions the members
rallied around the newly appointed
minister and in less than two months
from the 9th of August, 1913, the
work was reorganized and in full go
tng order.
The Sunday school reopened on
the 18th of August with 10 pupils
which has increased to over 70. Mr..
Wood realized the necessity of getting
hold Of the young people and among
the organizations formed and which |
have proved so successful and helpful
to the work are the Young Ladies' |
Club under the Presidency of Miss |
Jane Tucker; the Junior Girls Club |
with Miss Emma Galloway as presi-
dent, and the Boys Club.
In September the Ladies' Guild was
reorganized under the presidency of
Mrs. Ticknor and it's work has been
successful beyond all anticipation.
The minister is assisted in the
business of the church by a board
of Trustees which were appointed In
September and who have been |
efficient and loyal in all their
duties, have inspired new life and
and hope into all heir undertakings
A debt of long standing on the
sidewalk of the Church has been
paid off much to the satisfaction of
all concerned. This was made posi-
Bile by the help of the business men
of the town who readily came to the
aid of the trustees when occasion
arose.
At recent visit of the Archdeacol
that gentleman told those assembled /
Elmore County Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1910-1915, 1914-08-01

that few churches in the Episcopal
Diocese of Idaho could boast of such
a record in SO short a space of time.
The musical portion of tie ser
vices is all that could be desired, a
small orchestra adds to the already
fine musical service of the Episcopal
church,
This coming fall new energies will
be put forth which will add greatly
to the already efficient organization
and the members are looking forward
to an even more successful year than
has Just closed.
