from it's source to its confluence with
the still greater Snake.
In this vein some word should be
mentioned of tie recreation hunting
and fishing found in close proximity
to the settled section of Gem Coun-
ty. There is an abundance of big
game, such as deer and bear with a
occasional elk, and mountain sheep,
that may be shot by the venturesome
hunter who will take tGke saddle and
pack and set forth into the mystic
wilderness of the mountain forests.
During season, duck, quail, sage hen,
and grouse are plentiful, with many
hunting grounds wherein to seek
them.
There are hot springs located all
over the county, some within easy
distance of town, where the ill may
camp, battle and recuperatc at little
or no expense for the treatment.
There are fishing streams well stock
ed with trout of several species, while
from the waters of the Payette may

main ditch. 1t is hard piece of en-
cheering work as the country is very
rough and hilly in places where the
canal must run. 1t will take great
deal of tunneling and fluming to &C
complish the result sought. There is
now some talk of using the 80, 900 acre
reserve supply in the Arrow Rock res
ervoir to water that amount of land
in the Black Canyon district. There is
wonderful natural dam site in the
Payette river, a view of which is
given on the first page of section 2.
This is where the Black Canyon dam
will be located without doubt, even
though it be in future years.

WOMENS CLUBS ARE ACTIVE
Crescent and u A. Club. Do Good Work Soon to Build
Fine Homes

McCrossin, vice-president; Mrs. c. G.
Tucker, recording secretary; Mrs. G.
A. Warden, financial secretary; Mrs.
Ed. Modin, treasurer.
The purposes of the club are of the
highest, being for the mutual i'm
provement of it's members morally,
mentally and physically; to promote
the social life of the community and
study the vital questions of the day;
to study household economics and the
matters of public legislation, and all
matters pertaining to the improve
ment of home life. Also to ecquire
property and raise the funds neces-
sary for the building of substantial
clubhouse.
All these things have been accom-
plished or will be in the near future
and much more as well. The ladies'
hope soon to begin building a hand
some and homelike club house near
Freezeout Hill-a wonderful place for
such a building. Their weekly enter
tainments have been the life of the
community, and by determined and
continued effort the members of the
Crescent Club have been the leading
factor in securing the excellent roads
that are the greatest asset next to the
club and fruit that the South Slope
has.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1915-10-14

The ladies in the rural districts sur
rounding Emmett have proved that
many things of general public ad-
vantage, may be accomplished by
uniform action on the part of their
sex. They have formed two note
worthy clubs-one on the Bench and
one on South Slope-both have done
much to improve the conditions exist
ing in their respective communities.
The U. A. Club.
The Bench organization has large
membership and is known as the U.
A. Club. This club owns an acre of
ground and is preparing to build a
club house thereon in the near future.
The members are all good boosters
and what is more, they know how to
get the things they go after. They
are a big influence in the affairs of
the section where its members live
and have done much to uplift the So
cial conditions. Mrs. w. H. Shane is
the president.
The Crescent Club.
South Slope has the Crescent Club,
which was organized in 1909, feder-
ated in 1912 and Incorporated in 1914.
It comprises a membership of prac-
tically all the active women living on
the South Slope. Its officers are Mrs.
C. P. Hartley, president; Mrs. VIM.

RECREATION.

! Most of the counties resources have
been dealt with in this issue in de-
tailed account. 1t has been shown the
southern section is productive of many
kinds of fruits, is planted to many
orchards and is dependent upon irri-
CATION; that the largest acreage
planted is not yet in bearing. 1t has
been shown that almost anything will
grow here when watered and prop
erly cultivated; that land values are
sound and reasonable and that there
is still room for many more people,
who, if they are willing to work, can
make a good living pleasantly and
comfortably. Furthermore, the char
I acter of the upper country has been
outlined with stories of the mountain
fastness; the vast range for sheep
and cattle, the many prosperous
Squaw creek ranches with their wheat
and hay fields, the forest reserves and
abundance of timber. The mining
districts have been described. Still
there is much to tell, for no section
of country is richer than this in dis
criptive possibilities.
There is the Payette river so often
mentioned in connection with its use
fulness to man. The whole story re-
garding this stream would be endless.
1t is the never failing supply of water
for the thirsty orchards and fields it
furnishes unlimited power for sew
eral electrical enterprises, with
mighty falls and swiftly flowing rap
ids. The headwaters come down from
two widely separated sources, one to
the north and one to the east, max
ing two branches called the north and
south forks. Either of these branches
here they run through mountain for
ests, rocky canyons or dash over
cliffs in spraying waterfalls, provide
scenes and retreats innumerable and
INDISPENSABLE. The water flowing in
its channel is clear and pure, supplied
from melting SHOWS. It's many tribu-
taries are filled with gamey trout, and
during the spawning season salmon by
the thousands rush upstream in mad
search for spawning grounds. At
times, where the channel runs through
the level country it becomes broad,
placid stretch of pleasant waterscape,
with marshlands along the shore
rear their young. During season
these spots are favorite hunting
grounds. At other places it flows
between great walls of rock, that cast
gloomy shadows, and weird dark re-
Elections over the rivers surface.
Then again it becomes noisy and
quarrelsome, dash;ng and foSming
over bouldcr1, swirl:ng through mar
rows, twisting, turning, writhing, ap-
pearing dangerous and cruel. These
are the places, however, that me
seek out and Harvesting the raging
flood, convert the power to useful
purposes through the medium of gen
Grated electricity.
At the headwaters of the North
fork are the beautiful Payette Lakes
where all Idaho goes to spend the hot
summer months bathing in the cold
water, fishing for trout or lolling I'M
der the forest trees. This is noun
tain retreat, and the Payette is en-
tirely mountain stream. The
fountains give it birth and nurse it

be taken whitefish in numbers, that
are considered better eating than
trout by some. During midsummer
many families from the valley make
camping trips back into the woods,
and while enjoying the outing gather
many gallons of delicious huckleber-
ries that grow there in abundance.
All told it is a glorious country, a
glorious climate and good place to
live, or a good place to visit by
those so unfortunate as to be tied
down elsewhere.
