BILL FAVORS MINORS
Would Permit All Over Eighteen to
Take Government Land.

! By unanimous vote the house
committee on public lands has made
favorably report on the bill of
Representative Addison I. Smith
permitting minors of the age OF 10
or over to make homestead entry of
public lands. As reported the bill
provides:
Amy minor of the age of Is years
or over, and otherwise qualified un-
der the land laws, shall be permit.
ted to make homestead entry, under
and subject to the homestead laws
Of the United States; provided, that
no minor shall be permitted to make
such final proof upon such entry or
receive patent therefor until he or
she shall have attained the age of
"A years; provided further that such
entryman shall coomply with all the
requirements of the homestead laws
as to cultivation and improvement of
the land entered, but shall not be
required to establish or maintain
residence thereon until he or she shal
have attained the az of 81 years
The bill does not require six years
residence but merely the three years
residence after the entryman attatns
the age of 2l Years, but II he enters
at the age of g hemust make such
cultivation and Improvements from
the first as required by the homestead
laws.
There Is, however, considerable OBJ
lection to the measure by eastern
member who seem never to be able
to grasp the western public and9
question, and the bill probably cam
not be considered by unanimous con-
sent Speaking in support of the bill
Mr.. Smith said
when young man reaches the
age of eighteen he naturally begins
to Look into the future with view of
establishing a home, and If he lis able
to initiate a homestead on the public
domain the probabiht are that many
of them will remain on the farm I'M
stead of going to the cities on towns
to seek employment The govern
ment GLADLY accepts these young men
for service in the army and navy at
the age of eighteen, and why should
we not be willing to extend them the
privile ge of making a homestead entry
at that age

TROPHY GOES TO SHOSHONE
Delegates from K. P. Lodges in Dis
trict No. 6 In Annual Meeting.
Twin Falls Chosen for 1917.

Pythjanism had gala day at Glenni
Ferry on Wednesday, when more than
one hundred delegates and visitors
assembled there for the fifth annual
convention of District No. of the
Grand Domain of Idaho. But the
day did not suffice for all that was
ON the program to be done and per-
formed, and the session extended fan
into the morning hours of the follow.
ing day. But from the time the
first delegates swung off the train
and was taken in charge by the well
coming brothers of Glenns Ferry lodge
to the last tap of the gavel of the
presiding officer as he closed the
degree contest which followed the
convention there was not a dull
moment.
Glenns Ferry made good every
promise her sponsors made when the
invitation was extended to hold the
fifth annual convention i'm that city,
and every Knight attending will long
remember the hospitality that was
accorded.
The attendance was perhaps the
largest of any convention so far
held in the Sixth District and num-
h1rad ovar onp hundrad
The largest delegation came from
the Mountain Home lodge, which
sent some thirty delegates and mem
bers, and its degree team. Goodng
was next In point of attendance with
about rs members, while Shoshone
was represented by 20 Pythians Twin
Falls had about 10 members present
and there were delegations from
HALEY and Rupert Grand ChaGcellCc
Charles e. Harris of Backfoot honored
the gathering with his presence and
aided materially in the conduct of
the convention.
At 3 O'Clock in the afternoon Dis
trict Chairman w. T. Stafford of
Gooding opened the meeting and
called for the reports of the progress
made by the lodges i'm the district for
the past year. That Pythianism has
had large and satisfactory growth
in the district is the concenslls of
these reports. The report of the
district chairman was then heard.
Matters relating to the subject of
uniform work and the length Of SER
vice of officers of the lodges in the
district then occupied the attention
of the convention, and was followed
by the election of officers for the EN-
suing year.
Mountain Home lodge presented the
claims of J. r. Pratt for the office
of district chairman. 1t is evident
that Knight Pratt's ability and en-
thusiasm in the work for Pythianism
was recognized by other lodges than
our own, for Mr.. Pratt had NO OPP
position and was elected by acclama-
tion. The honor bestowed upon Mr.
Pratt and incidentally ON his home
lodge, is one that is appreciated here
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1916-02-26

and the prediction is made that the
growth of the order in this district
will be kept at its present rate.
Other officers elected We're: W. X.
Hyatt, Rupert, vice chairman; j. p.
Johnson, Twin Falls, secretary y-reas
urer; w. A. Minnick, Twin Falls, dis
triet representative to the grand
lodge; W. Hail Horn, Shoshone, al.
ternate.
For the next meeting place Twin
Fails had no opposition. The eloquent
boosters from the Magic City set
forth the claims of that town so
allturingly that there was but ONE
| conclusion to be made. 1t was unan.-
mously decided to gather next year at
Twin Falls.
The banquet served by The Pythian
sisters in the opera house was one
of the impressive events of the con
ventdon and occupied the att ention of
the Knights for a period of oy,r two
hours II. II, McMaster officiated as
toastmaster and called Walter Corker
for the address of welcome Mr.
Corker responded i'm his usually able
and happy manner. Milton Helm of
Mountain Home was called upon to
tell of The Effect of the District
Convention Upon the Local Lodge"
and Judge Stafford of Shoshone also
spoke ON the subject
Toasts to the lodge colcrs-blue,
yellow and red were then called for.
W. r. Hyatt, of Rupert, responded for
the blue, and his remarks made a
distinct hit. The subject of the
red was taken by w. NJ Denton of
Twin Falls, and w. A. Drake OF HALEY
responded for the yellow. "Pythian
Influence Upon the Individual was
discussed by Mr.. James of Gooding,
Paul S. Haddock of Shoshone re-
sponded to the toast, THE Pythian
Sisters"
The banquet hall was splendidly
decorated In the colors of the order
and an orchestra from Nampa rem
dered delightful music.
In the contest for the silver cup
which was won last year by the de-
gree team of Mountain Home lodgt,
there were four competing teams
Gooding, Shoshone, Twin Fails and
Mountain Home Work la the third
rank was exemplified and the contest
lasted throughout the night, and re-
suited i'm the Shoshone team winning
the cup, with Gooding second, Noun
tain Home third and Twin Falls fourth.
That the contest was a close one
may be assumed from the fact that
there were but four or five points
difference i'm the standing of the
three highest teams. The Mountain
Home expected to win and retain the
cup-but it didn't-and the only re-
mark the boys have to make is
that they are getting ready for the
Twin Fails convention
