WANTS VACANT LOTS.

The County Superintendent, Miss
Lockman, is making a canvass to
ascertain how many vacant lots can
be secured by donation for the use
of boys and girls clubs of the public
schools and she has also asked SEN
ator Brady to donate water to irrigate
the ground secured.
Professor T. w. Potter, in charge
of the Boys and Girls clubs of the
state, has promised to come and or
ganize clubs as soon as the land
and water has been secured.
In other localities this movement
has proven great value in interest
ing the boys and girls in agricultural
work as we'll as in domestic art and
science. 1t will be remembered by
some of our readers, at least that
last fall the prizes offered for work
done in these cllbs at the Boise fair
brought out very active competition
and that the prize for the best hog
went to a girl while the one for the
best loaf of bread was given to
boy, which goes to show that the
girls of the state are taking an ac-
tive interest in agricultural work as
we'll as are the boys.
In most every community there are
numberless lots that are not utilized
for any purpose whatever except to
produce thriving crop of weeds, and
the thought of Miss Lockman in this
connection is that these lots can be
put to valuable use and at the same
time they can be kept clean, thus
adding appreciably to the general ap-
pearance of the community. She will
be glad to hear from anyone who
has lots to donate for this purpose.

MAD DOG SCARE.

For a little while Monday afternoon
it looked as though Mountain Home
was in for another mad dog scare
but developments showed that the
animal, instead of suffering from
rabbies, had a dose of strychnine in
his system. The excitement was all
caused by the pet dog of Eddie Ira
then, which, in some unaccountable
way had acquired a dose of strych-
nine, and had taken up quarters on
the sidewalk near Eckstein Bros.
store, The animal was relieved of
earthly suffering through the kindly
ministration OF Robert Bruce, who
used rock as the implement of dis
dispatch.

MANDATE DENIED
Supreme Court Upholds Judgment
in Mountain Home Water Case.

In an opinion written by Judge f.
]. Cowen of the Sixth judicial dis
trict, the supreme court on Saturday
affirmed the Judgement of non-suit
rendered by Judge Il. A. Walters of
the Fourth Judicial district, in the
case of William Lewis, administrator,
and G. w. Lamson, plaintiffs and
appellants, against the Mountain
Home Cooperative Irrigation com pany,
with costs to respondents. Justices
Bulge and Morgan concurred.
The plaintiffs applied for writ of
mandate to compel the irrigation COM
pany TO deliver them two hundred
inches of water for the year 1914,
and for each succeeding year there
after, but did not have any crops
planted at the time and manifested
no intention of planting any until
the question of their right to be fur
nished water by the company had
been htigated and determined, for
which purpose the proceedings We're
instituted.
Judge Cowen held that no neces-
sity for the use of the water for the
year 1914 having been shown, and Vt
appearing that the plaintiffs have no
adequate remedy at law, the writ of
mandate was properly denied by
Judge Walters. Statesman, March 10.

THE WELSH SINGERS
A Synopsis of Foundation and Glori-
Gus Record of this Organization.

The fame of Welsh choral singing
became world wide, when IN 1872 a
mixed choir consisting mainly of
Welsh village folk, under the leader
ship of Caradog Griffith Rhys Jones)
won the Crystal Palace Company S
So, 800 challenge trophy and a cash
prize of 5000. This fame was en-
hanced in the following year, when
The same choir under the same lead
er again won the trophy, beating the
London choir known then as the Paris
Prize Choir, under the leadership of
Mr.. Proudman. The sons of the
prncipality have ever since main
tanned the fame and ever enhanced
the standard established and set by
the Crystal Palace victories.
OF all the Welsh musical organiza-
tions the Royal Gwent Welsh Singers
has been the first and foremost, not
only to maintain the fame, but to set
standard to Welsh or any other
choral singers that has never yet been
excelled.
The visits of the Royal Gwent Welsh
Singers is by no means a new ven
tuTe. Indeed, it is now matter of
history. Americans were first thrill
led by these singers from the land
of song as early as 1898, when two
Welsh ehoruses from Wales won
first prize at the World S Fair, Chica-
go. The Royal Welsh Gwent Sing
ers stands-and sngs-before the
world to-day as the unsurpassed or
ganization OF its kind, and, Incl
dentally, as the standard bearer
through all lands of the SUI
periority of the Welsh nation as
nation of singers. 1t would be diff.
cult task, indeed, to analyze this fact,
but it can be realized more easily by
attending their concert at the Stand
ard Theatre, Thursday, March 80

OUTLOOK FOR WOOL.
Highest Figure in Years Reached on
Boston Market.

1t is stated by those who keep i'm
touch with the wool market that al
though trading at Boston has quieted
down, there has been no recession In
the strength of the market. In fact
some grades have sold during the
past week at the highest figures
noted for many years.
Contracting in the west has slack
ened perceptibly owing to the indie
pendent attitude of buyers. For the
moment best medium wools appear
to be pegged at around thirty cents
and some growers refuse to consider
even that figure.
The Daily Trade Record, of New
York quoting DR.. Mcclure reports
around 5000, 900 pounds of Inter-Mo
tain woods contracted at from three
to five cents higher than last year.
The industry was never stronger
than at the present time The grow
eTs are in good financial condition
and the banks, generally speaking, are
in position to carry them to the
limit. thus putting them in Just the
right position to deal satisfactorily
with the speculator buyers.
Concensus of opinion seems to far
vor holding of all woods until sheared
and ready for delivery as the wool
goods market holds very strong with
no signs of abatement.

CAPTAIN &. C. DAVIS.
Sndes Message to the Readers of the
Republican.

| have just visited Mountain Home
and desire to say to those | did not
have the pleasure Of meeting person
ally that as candidate for the
nomination OF governor ON the Repub.
hcan ticket, l am making an honest
campaign for higher and cleaner po-
lltical and official conduct in Idaho
am not violating the law by try
ing to buy votes, nor to secure them
by unholy barter, nor by promises
of appointment to office. | am indie
pendent and uncontrolled by amy boss
or interest; and seek the support of
honest men and women who vote
only for the good of the state.
The Republican party. no less than
the Democratic party, has tolerated
conditions which no one can be proud
of, and l am telling the people about
these conditions, frankly and fearless
ly, in order that they may have
the means of correcting them.
l believe that we need candor and
honesty, efficiency and economy, In
dealing with present day conditions
more than we need such political bum
comb as the promise to reduce the
cost of state government by m .llion
dollars or the even more absurd and
impossible promise to make Idaho a
taxless stale.
Let's have the courage to clean up
Idaho, restore its credit at home and
abroad, and make 1t the best place
on earth in which to live.
| would be glad to hear from any
voter who approves of this campaign
and who is willing to encourage an
effort to bring about these results.
Yours sincerely,
Captain e, G. Davis,

PAscoE QUITS UNCLE SAM.

The genial, SMILING countenance of
our old friend, Charles Pascoe, will
NO longer greet the patrons of the
Mountain Home postoffice, for Charley
has decided that the service of Uncle
Same does not afford ample scope
to work off the latent energies of
one constituted as he is, and the re-
muneration is so great as to be
burdensome to one who is used to
the simple life.
No arrangements have yet been
made for FILLING Mr.. Pascoes place,
though it is expected that the depart
ment will name a successor soon.

BAPTIST REVIVAL.

The Revival meeting which began
last week under the direction of choir
leaders Mr.. Higgins has increased
and deepened at each succeeding meet
ing.
Evangelist Mills arrived ON Tues
day of this week and has preached
each might since. His sermons are
making a profound impression upon
the large congregations that meet
each evening. Reverend Mills is cer-
tainly coming up to expectations.
The large choir under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Huggins has sung
number of very beautiful selections.
The song Happy in Jesus" written
and composed by Mr.. Huggins is a
gem in eyangelistc music. Everyone
is singing 1t.
On the last night the evangelist
gave the first invitation for those
who desired to accept Christ to come
forward. More than twenty respond
ed among them some past fifty years
of age. 1t was certainly great
meeting.
The meetings will continue each
night next week. There viii be three
services on Sunday; IL a. M, 230:
p. m. and 7:45 p. m.
Again the pastor and church board
extend to all others a hearty invita-
tion to join in these union community
meetings.

MINING ACTIVITY
Is THE PROMISE
indication of Movement
at Rocky Bar
Many Mining Men Have Faith That
Old Rocky Bar Still Possesses
Untold Wealth.

Back In the early history of this
section, the mining resources of the
Rocky Bar district were looked upon
as the one great wealth producing
asset. Rocky Bar was, at that time,
the county seat OF Alturas county, and
was among the booming camps of Ida
no. 1t has added some eighty mil
llons OF dollars To the gold value of
the country. 1t has been worked
continuously ever since the big boom,
though on a small scale, and every
year It's harvest OF gold has been suf-
flcient to make the work pay. None
OF the workings have penetrated to
a depth of more than 100 feet below
the low level of the gulch, and 1t
seems to be the theory of mining
men that even greater wealth than
has ever been known in the past will
develop as depth is attained.
Elmer Towne, of Pine, who has long
been Identified with the mining in
dustry in these parts, Is reported to
have recently struck lead OF ore in
what is known as the 0phir mine
that promises to develop into a great
producer. And also, 1t Is stated
that the Lewis and Clark property,
where work was done throughout the
winter, gives indications of develop
Ing into big producer. A great
body of ore has been opened up,
which, though low grade in character,
will show handsome profits with the
milling capacity increased to handle
larger quantities. This property Is
located on Marsh Creek.
Negotiations have been under way
all winter for opening up several of
the other prop rites of the Rocky
Bar district, and there seems little
doubt at this time but that some of
them at least will be opened this
spring.
There seems greater hope that old
Rocky Bar will again come to the
front as a gold producer than there
has been for several years past, a
fact that may be accounted for by
the increased activity in that dis
trict.
1t Is stated also that several men
have been at work all winter on
mining property along the Boise
river, and it is expected that some
thing will develop there during the
coming season. T..
The prospect of having the old
stage road established from this point
10 Atlanta revives interest In that
whole section. The route was
some time ago to go from
Hill City, but the past winter, when
he route was closed for more than
hree weeks at one time, has shown
hat the route. is not feasible one
because Of the higher altitude and the
parcely settled condition OF the
The route at present ser
'es only about forty people while
rom Mountain Home somewhere
bout 200 people can be served.
