WILL BE ACTIVE BIDDING
A Number of People Want the New
Stage Route Contract

1t is understood that four or five
parties are making estimates with a
view to bidding for the contract for
carrying the mail from this place to
Featheryile, serving Bennett, Pine
and Featherylle post offices.
Bids must be in by the 25th of the
present month and service to com
mence August Ia and continue until
June 80, 1918.
The securing of bonds has been
one of the veXatious features in CON
nection with the bidding for this con-
tract The government requires a
$4,000, and there are few busine IS
men who care to appear as surety
on the bond Of star route carrier,
but this difficulty has been overcome
by A, f, Downs, local representative
OF the United States Fidelity & Sure
ty Co., who has learned that his com
pany will write bonds for star route
contractors, and premium is said to
be quite satisfactory.

REAL FREIGHTlNG JOB

NAMPA--lf certain mail carrier
down in the Bruneau country feels in
clined to give vent to any possible
brands of profanity which might be
peculiar to his disposition in the next
two or three days, it may be a little
hard for him 10 decide as to just
whome it should be directed toward.
Leaving this little question entirely
up to the conscience of the innocent
victim OF the porcel post system now
in vogue 1T remains only to state that
a shipment of 100 sacks of flour went
forward through the Nampa post
office on Wednesday, destined to
Riddle, Ida Each sack was of the
regulation 50-pound weight, making a
total of two and one-hah tons OF
"Scott's Best" to be transported
many miles over the mail route that
reaches that inland station. Each Of
the sacks bore stamps of 5O-cent and
2-cent denominations 1t lis pre-
sumed that the consumer pays the
postage.
The shipment was made by the
Nampa Milling & Elevator company
manufacturers and esllers OF the
flour thus consigned to the care of
Uncle Samuel's transportation agents.
If the Nampa correspondent Of the
Statesman, who is responsible for the
above story, could see the Bruneau
stage leave Mountain Home six days
week ,he would understand that
little matter of handling five thousand
pounds of flour Is all in the days
work. A little bigger consignment
than usual but not enough to make
any fuss about for every day the Bru
neau stage takes out a couple OF
thousand pounds, either mail matter
or express.

HEBER @. HALE RESIGNS

Probably the closing chapter of the
land board squabble was written
Friday afternoon when Heber Q. Hale
acting register of the board, rendered
his resignation.
The story given the Statesman this
morning follows
"Heber Q. Hale late Friday after
noon rendered his resignation as
gister of the state land department
to become effective August Is. The
resignation, voluntarily made, was
unanimously accepted by the land
board with three Republican mem
bers present and voting. The COVER
nor was not In attendance at the
meeting when the register announc-
ed that he would resign.
Hale leaves the land department
to become the active head or the
Pacific Colonization & Land Company,
of which he is president.
The land board has not as yet
named a successor to Hale. Robert
Klrcheval of Occur d'Alene is being
mentioned for the position. The
board will meet this morning, but 1t
IS doubtful members say, that new
register will be elected today.
Hae's resignation did not come as
a distinct surprise to the Republican
members of the land board, but the
fact that he was quitting his position
has been kept quiet since he men
toned his intention to leave the en-
ploy Of the state to close friends
two days age The governor was not
in the city when the register laid
his resignation before the board.
When advised on his return of Hale's
a 'ton the chief executive declared
h. did not wish to comment on It."

tween Caldwell and Parma in Can

accepted a call to the pastorate OF

The Harveys have resided here for

BUILDING ACTIVITY
COMMENCE SOON
Some of Alturas Street
Contracts Let
Johnson Got Eckstein Bros. Con-
tract---Caldwell Man Gets AXE
and Weaver Buildings

il Will be only matter OF few
days now until building activity on
Alturas street will reach high tide.
There has been a lot OF work done
during this week by way Of getting
the old buildings off and the ground
cleared up for the contractors to be-
gin the work Of putting in a good,
up-to-the- minute business block.
The Eckstem Bros. have let the
contract for their building to c. K.
Johnson, the local contractor, and Ed
Weaver and f. p. AXE have given
their contracts to a Mr.. Emmett, OF
Caldwell This means that 150 feet
of the 200-foot front business block
10 contracted for. A. F. Downs, who
will put in a 25-foot store room will
let his contract aus soon as the wants
Of his tenants can be learned. He
is now busy, with force of men,
tearing down the old building
John Brady, the owner OF the other
25-foot lot, is in Portland but at the
time of this writing it was thought
he would let contract before he re-
turns to the city.
The replacing of those old shacks
on the front street of the town with
modern business buildings will give
the town an air of substantiability
that will be bound to favorably i'm
press all comers.
Messrs. AXE and Weaver have de-
cided to use stone Of the same quail
ty as is going into the new court
house for their buildings, and the
other property owners are consider
ing a like change.

There has been rather marked
exodus during the week Of people
who are off for their summer vaca-
tions, and for the next month or two
many Mountain Home people will be
found up along the Boise river, over
on Fan creek and along the shores
Of Trinity Lake.
A good many people have already
gone to the hill country to get away
from the heat and many more VIII
leave during the next couple OF
weeks.

KING HILL IN THE BALANCE
Government to Finish Carey Act Pro
jec II investigation is Favorable
(Statesnan)


"An investigation of the King Hill
Carey act project is now under way,
said A. p. Davis, director and chief
engineer of the Unit ed States recla-
nation service Thursday. IF IL re
suits fayorably a report will be made
to the secretary of the interior re-
commencing carrying the project to
completion. The secretary will then,
if he deems 1t advisable, ask for a
congressional appropriation for the
work"
Director Davis arrived in Boise
Thursday morning, accompanied by
f. e. Weymouth, chief of construe-
ton. with whom he is making a trip
of inspection to all the government
projects in the northwest.
I'VE came to Idaho from Grand
Junction. Colo" the director said.
There lis 80 ,0O0-acre project under
construction there. A diversion dam
and several large tunnels have al
ready been completed and the work
on a canal system is being rushed.
Our visit to Boise Is, Of course,
for the purpose OF inspecting the
Arrowrock dam. The working OF the
movable crest of the spilWay lis what
we are particularly interested in, al.
though we will probably spend the
entire day in going over the work.
"The King Hill matter is being
carefully considered. The surveyors
who are now going over that project
will make detailed report, which
will, when made, be examined by a
board of consulting engineers before
final report is turned in to the sec
retary of the interior.
You may state that we will hold
a conference on Saturday with any OF
the residents of Boise and vicinity
who are interested i'm the delivery of
storage water or In other matters
handled by our department.
eve are leaving Saturday evening
for Hermiston, Ore, to inspect a pro-
ject involving a diversion of the Una
tlla river and contemplating the irri-
cation of $4,000 acres. From Hermis-
ton we go up into Washington and
then swing back into Montana before
startling on our return trip to the ma
tonal capital.
1T is not likely that any new pro-
jects will be begun in this section OF
the country in the near future be-
cause of the condition of the U. S. r.
S. funds We have absolutely no ap-
preparations for new work.
Business Is brisk all over the east,
he ended. "Stee works IN particular
are unusually active but manufactur-
ing concerns Of all descriptions are
working up to capacity.

WANT 300 MORE MEN

1t lis understood that the war de
partment has asked that the Idaho
regiment be recruited up to war
strength, which will require about
800 more men. All the recruiting
stations conducted under the first
call have been abandoned, and the
governor has been asked to name
four men who will be commissioned
by the government to do the recruit

If all the people who have ex-
pressed their intention Of going out
after sage hens Saturday, the first
day of the open season, get half a
dozen birds the supply win be very
considerably diminished. Fully 200

stated that 80 or 400 Boisetes usually
find their way into this country for
