ADD $5,SO7 TO
SO. FORK FUND
This Makes a Total of $3.50
IS In Hand for Construc-
tion Work On Road.

While the work has been temper
arily suspended on the South Fork
and Mt. Idaho wagon road, ON &C
count Of the heavy snowfall, Forest
Supervisor Ring received this week
$5,8O7 more from the department at
4issoula to be used In the work ON
that important line of road, which is
certainly a matter for all to rejoice
over It has been known for some
time that efforts were being made
dor the transferring of something
like $4,000 from another project
where the conditions required had
not been met, to this road, which
= considered by the Forest depart
ment as one of great Importance, and
which should receive immediate and
continued attention. The transfer of
this fund because of the failure of
the community where it was to have
been applied TO get busy and cooper
ate with the forest department, makes
clear to our citizens just what would
have happened to us as a community,
II we had failed to take hold of the
matter with energy and raise the sum
asked of us. As It Is we are having
over $4,000 expended In the commun
ity and are furnishing labor to over
twenty local men, and at the same
time are getting q road built that
II OF great Importance to the mines
and ranches clear up the South Fork
That the road will be extended as fal
- needed there can be little doubt
While some of our citizens lifted pref
ty hard, no man who has put a dol
lar In this project win ever have
cause for regret; but ON the contrary
his part in helping along the worh
win be a matter OF pride to him In
the future. Work will be resumed
on the road as soon as the snow
melts sufficiently 20 that the way Il
clear.

WAS held in Commercial Club rooms
Friday afternoon and local growers
association was organized to co-op-

been formed at Nampa, Caldwell, No
tus, Weiser, Payette, Fruitland, On
tario and Parma.
Mr.. Mcpherson, whose headquarters
are at Pocatello, stated that branch
office would be opened in this part of
the state, and that it was expected

tatoes this season.
The local board of directors are: H.
W. Hollar, E. c. Vahlberg, c. H. Mar
lin Wrn WhitseI1 and V s Bellus.
Arrangements will no doubt be
made to have the local manager of the

of the North Pacific
Fruit Distributors, look after the spud
business. Those who have good spud
ground and wish to sign up should
10 so at once.

PRIZES OFFERED FOR
BEST CORN
School Boys Encouraged to
Grow Corn by II. i.
Fest

In order to encourage the members
of the Corn club in the city schools
to continue their efforts in growing
good corn, H. L. Fest, the well-known
bench rancher and hog breeder,
has offered six valuable pure bred
hogs as prizes for the best exhibits
Of corn made at home, at the county
fair, the state fair and the Panama
exposition.
Mr.. Fest made his proposition to
the boys Of the schools at a very in
structive talk on corn growing made
last evening to the agricultural class
in the auditorium. The prizes are as
follows:
For best corn at home exhibit
First prize, a September pig; second
prize, a September pig.
For best corn at county fair
First, June pig.
For best corn at State fair-A good
early spring gilt, bred.
For best corn at San Francisco,
fair-First, best in his herd; second,
SIS gilt
The above is in keeping with Mr..
Fest's public spirit and should elicit
good work from the boys and actual
profit to every one. The prizes are
generous and valuable enough to in
duce every boy to exert himself to
produce the best.

the top of the divide the first of the
week to meet with committee from
Box Springs and the most conven-
lent, and direct route from that place
to Emmett will be selected. Box
Spring is only six miles from this
place by the proposed route and Sc
ven miles would be saved in the dis
tance to Boise. An effort will also
be made to induce the state road com
mission to select the above route for
the proposed National highway.

FARMERS BUSY WITH
SPRING WORK
Marshy Land Being Sown to AL
SAGE Cloyer-Road to
Letha Bridge.

Sunday q representative of The In
dex made trip over the mesa to the
Slope by way of the new Letha
bridge. Signs of spring are to be
seen everywhere and every farmer
we talked with had the optimistic
twinkle in his eye and spoke of the
number of acres of corn and small
grain he expected to plant this spring
and the hogs he figured on raising.
Quite a number pointed with pride
to a developing dairy herd. All of
which means future prosperity for the
Emmett valley.
Commissioner King of Good Roads
District No. has had a large force
of men and teams at work building
the new roads through the Cook &
John and Schrecongost farms from
the mesa to the bridge. One of the
roads runs in q direct line from the
bridge to the Cook & John residence
on Bissel creek, and the other in a
northwesterly direction down the val
ley. On the south side of the new
structure the county, with the assist
ance of Letha farmers, has also been
doing some very effective road work
and a regular boulevard has been con-
structed to the P V. railroad track,
just west of the johnson ranch, and
half mile east of Letha. Good work
is also being done as far up the river
as the Vanderdasson schoolhouse, and
in the immediate vicinity of Letha,
where the cheese factory is located.
The Slope was reached at the Blom
ranch and everywhere could be seen
preparations for spring crops. In
many of the orchards on the more
sandy soils cultivation has already
begun. The roads are in fine shape
all along the Slope, and would delight
the most exacting in that regard.

Rates for Shipping Produce to
Europe to be OBJ
tanned

Portland, Ore.-Representatives of
nearly every fruit growing district in
the Pacific northwest participated
Wednesday in meeting of the Fruit
Growers transportation league here.
Marking and transportation prob
lens were discussed.
A committee was appointed to COM
pile statistics to be presented to steam
ship companies which will operate
boats through the Panama canal, in
an effort to obtain favorable rates
and attention in handling fruit ship
ments to foreign ports. 1t was decid-
ed to send agents into foreign fields
to study market conditions, and the
league resolved that every phase of
transportation and marketing ques-
ions affecting the fruit industry be
studied by experts for the leagues
benefit.
Among the districts represented at
meeting were Roseburg,
Salem, Dundee, Hood River,
Milton, Freewater, Hermiston, La
Grande, Imbler and Brogan, in Ore
Eon; Payette, Fruitland, New Ply
mouth, Emmett Caldwell, Nampa and
Lewiston, in Idaho.

PLAN FOR INCREASED
WATER SUPPLY
Well Expert Recommends Air
Compressor for City
Water Plant.

AS has been stated in The Index be-
fore, the supply of water for the city
waterworks plant is inadequate, and a
committee was appointed month ago
to make an investigation of the pres
sure system used in neighboring
towns.
At Monday nights meeting of the
city council, C. V. Whallon, who is
in charge of the waterwork system
at Nampa, and man recommended
by Mayor Partridge of that town as
being very competent,was present and
submitted a report of his findings,
together with recommendations, as to
how the Emmett water supply may
be increased. Mr.. Whallon put in all
day Monday investigating conditions
at the pump house. He highly re-
commends the installation of an air
compressor and enlarging of the
reservoir from which water is pumped
to fill the big tank. H estimates that
a compressor would increase the sup
ply about 400 gallons per minute,
and that it could be installed for about
$500. Further Investigations will be
made.

DITCH WORK NEARLY OVER
Another Week Will Place Canyon Ca
nal in Shape for Water.

With the exception of about a
weeks work on the big slide and few
days work at the Black Canyon, all
of the work on the Canyon canal is
completed so far as water for the
mesa is concerned. Water will be
turned into the headgate about the
middle of this month and by April /
Superintendent Sissler hopes to have
the ditch all soaked up in condition
to deliver full head of water into
the farmers laterals.
The cement work on the intake for
the siphon, which furnishes the south
side lateral, is practically completed
and it is very probable that the same
will be in position by the first of
April.
1t has taken a great deal of money
to build those miles and miles of ce-
ment lined ditch and to erect steel
fumes in the place of the old wooden
ones unloaded onto the people by the
contractors, and to retimber the tun-
nels and do hundred other substan-
tial and permanent pieces of work,
but it is now practically completed
and much of it for all time, thanks to
the local banks, John McNish and 9TH
er business men and the people who
had faith in the project. 1t is fact
that many of the land holders who
were here five years ago are not here
today to profit by improved condi-
tions; many were unable to hold on
because of financial conditions, but the
majority who left simply got cold
feet and could not withstand advers
ity-they traded their land off and
in many instances did not improve
their conditions one bit.
But the fellows who stood pat will
reap reward for their staying quail
ties by having home under an irri-
cation system not equalled anywhere
and with river adequate to supply /
so times the necessary flow for all
ages to come; where the soil is su-
perior to all other sections and eli
mate which for the entire year is far
better than where Adam and Eve
made history.

given. Mr.. Beale's descriptions were

badly injured Saturday night in a
runaway. While hitched to post in

kept for breeding purposes.

dreds of brood sows being kept by
local farmers gives evidence that the
farmers are getting down to a sound
business basis. Another point to view
is the fact that the strong tendency
to corn will also help to raise the
price Of alfalfa next fall and next
year, as there will be less planted
than has been the rule in order to
keep UP with the demand.
