POSTMASTER AT BENNETT

Mrs. A. Anderson has been ap-
pointed postmaster at Bennett, this
county, of which appointment she
was advised Friday of last week.
The new appointee was given per
mission to move the office to the old
Dixie stage station. With the re-es-
tablishment of the stage route from
this place to Lenox and Prairie, it is
probable that the same service will
be available for the Bennett office in
the very near future. Anyway the
stage will pass within six or seven
miles of Bennett postoffice, and If
better can be done, the
people i'm that section can arrange
for carrying the mai themselves.

HAS FILED ANSWE r.

The commission has received from
w. G. Howie of Mountain Home, rep
resenting some Is citizens of that
place, a protest against the applica-
tion of M. e. Hughes, trustee, to in
crease water rental charges to pa
irons Of the Elmore County Irrigated
Farms Association, on the ground
that the commission Is without power
to fix rental charges already provided
by contract. The petitioners ask that
the application he denied; that the
owner of the system be required to
make improvements and repairs nee
essary; that the Mountain Home Co
operative Irrigation company and J.
II. Brady be made parties to the ac-
ton and that cause be shown why the
company and Mr.. Brady should not be
charged a reasonable rental for the
system and be made to pay their pro-
portional of the cost of repairs and
Improvements. ts.-Friday Statesman.

VISITED BRUNEAU

Rev. A. L. Wood, rector of the
Episcopal church az Mountain Home,
visited Bruneau Monday, renewing old
friendships and acquaintanceships as
we'll as forming many new. Mr.. Wood
in the certain knowledge of the writer
has accomplished, in the comparative
ly brief period of his ministry, more
lasting constructive work In the parish
over which he presides than any or
all of his predecessors of the past
fifteen years; and with the Juveniles
it is question if a fine tooth comb
carefully drawn over the entire state
could bring forth his equal as a force
for uplifting among the young of both
sexes. AS might be surmised he was
here to learn if conditions favored
entry of his church into religious
activity of Bruneau and adjacent
points of the valley.-Owyhee Mug

FIRST WOOL CLIPS IN
The Tom Brady Plant Has Finished
at Canyon Creek.

The Tom Brady shearing plant has
finished Its run at Canyon creek
and has moved back farther into the
hills. At this time the plant is prob
ably being operated at Bennett creek.
AT Canyon creek the herds of j. S.
Bennett & Co., The Florence Live
Stock Co. and Joseph Mendoza we're
sheared. The flocks of the first two
owners numbered about 1000 head
each and 1t is understood that the
clip was even better than the owners
had expected.
One or two buyers have already
been in this field but their offers
have not proved attractive
Shearing lis well under way at
good many points in this section and
it is probable that the first big wool
sale will be announced for the latter
part of May.

SEED CORN FROM BUHL.

C. f. Liebhart, who lives three
miles north of Buhl, sent two bush
els of seed corn to Carl Johnson,
formerly with the University Extension
Department, but at present manager
of the Community Farm at Mountain
Home. The seed was yellow dent
variety, large even kernels, and it had
all been hand picked. Mr.. Johnson
will use the sack to plant about Is
acres of corn this spring. Mr.. John
son learned of the corn raised by
Mr.. Liebhart while working in the
Buhl country last summer. Many of
the farmers are personally acquainted
with Mr.. Johnson and will be inter
ested to learn that he has secured
his seed corn from the Buhl country.

Ed Weaver Takes a Hand by Buying
Lots on AIturas st.

The operations Of the builders on
Alturas street, which are being
watched with more than unusual in

nicely. Agreement has been reached
on practically every phase that has
yet arisen, and at this time the pro-

wholesale dealers in building mater

effected to justly it, it is probable
that all the material will be bought
at wholesale by the owners them
selves, and only the work let by con-
tract. The fact that Ed Weaver
has purchased the lots of Mrs. Often

Honor Guests of Community

From three o'clock this afternoon
until nine o'clock this evening the
old folks will be dined and enter
tanned and everything possible win
be done to see that they have royal
time. Those who have passed SIXTY
years of age are invited to be the
guests of the city and for several
weeks past number of committees
have been at work making the nee
essary arrangements for their enter
tainment, 80 there Ia but little doubt
but that the day will be one of real
enjoyment for the .old folks" as well
as for those who have undertaken the
work OF providing entertainment.
The invitation committee has made
every possible effort to secure the
names of all those who have passed
their sixtieth milestone, but 1t Ia un-
derstood that II any have been miss-
ed they will be just as welcome as
III they had received an invitation. It
is the purpose to have every man
and woman who Is SIXTY years old or
over at the Standard theatre this af-
ternoon.
1t is learned that there are more
than l50 people in this town who are
past sixty years old, and the commit-
tee having charge of the work of
transportation for all these find that
they have a big job on their hands.
All the cars available have been So
cured but ID is feared that there win
be considerable delay In getting to
the theatre, and it 10 requested OF all
those who are able to walk and who
live close In that they do SO In order
that the cars may be used for bring
Ing in those who live at consider
able distance. This committee 10
made UP of Mrs. L. l.. Spring, Mrs.
J. w. Briggs and Mrs. w. d. Evans,
so Ii any of those who do live close
In do not 1eel able to walk TO the
hall on that afternoon, II they wen
call a member of the committee
will be provided to
bring them.
Another matter that will aid very
greatly in having things go off
is for all those who are to
provide refreshments to have them at
the hall in the morning. The COM
mittee lis dsirous of having everything
In readiness for the guests promptly
at three o'clock, and this cannot be
done II the refreshments are not
brought until afternoon.
This is the first time that such an
Undertaking has been attempted here
and all are anxious to make 1t such
success that il will grow into a
'egular annual occurrance

BE- had of the Snake River canyon,
gorgeous in its mighty rugedness; OF
| the Blue lakes, which, from the ele-
| walton at which the party stood, gave
the impression of mammoth saphires
| nesting within emerald borders; of
I the little home where |. B. Perrine
and his good wife spent the best
| years of their lives, where they plant
ed and witnessed the full maturity Of
the most famous orchard OF the north
west, and where that hardy pioneer
first conceived the idea of converting
the Snake River desert into a gar
den spot.
From this point a drive was made
up the river to Shoshone falls where
another stop was made at the top of
the canyon to get a view of the
magnificent scenery attending that
great cataract known as the Niagara
of the west. About half an hour was
spent at this point and then the de-
scent was made into the canyon
across Snake River on the ferry just
above the falls, and ON into the city
of Twin Falls and almost directly to
the convention hall, the convention
being then under way.
The return trip was made Friday,
coming out by way of Buhl, Thous-
and Springs, Hagerman, and striking
the old trail again at Bliss. After get
ting few miles out of Buhl the sur
faced portion of the state highway
was encountered and from there on
into Bliss the road was almost as
smooth as pavement, the only ex-
ception being at the canyon where !
the Salmon Falls power plant is To-
Gated. The grade on both sides OF
the canyon lis quite steep and there
are so many sharp turns that there
is an element of danger to automo-
D1le travellers.
The party arrived home at about
4:30 but the return did not end the
festivities abruptly. A most fitting
finish for very enjoyable outing
was provided by Mr.. Halvorsen, pro-
prietor of the Mountain Home hotel,
in the form of a banquet at which
Mrs. Eaton, Mrs Ticknor and Mr.. and
Mrs. o. e. Cannon added. This last
feature was probably the most thor
oughly enjoyed Of all.

NO WOOL MOVING YET
Growers are Confident of Getting
Higher Prices Later

There has been no change In the
local wool situation during the past
few weeks, though many are shear
ing at this time and considerable
quantity of the product is being
brought in from the shearing pens.
The growers are maintaining the
same attitude they did early in the
season, being firm In the belief that
the price of wool cannot go down
and there Is more than an even
chance of Ito advancing considerably
within short time. Only a few
buyers have visited here UP to this
time and In no case has their offers
proved attractive to the wool men,
The best bona fide offer made yet
was 25 cents per pound. but no one
is selling at that figure for the grow
ers all feel that their product should
bring from 26 to 80 cents per pound.

CONG. cHuRH PROGRAM.
Big Crowds Attend Morning and
Evening Services Easter Sunday.

Easter was observed last Sunday
at the Congregational church with
exercises that We're among tthe most
successful and inspiring in the his
tory Of the organization. Both in
point OF attendance and in spiritual
power, the morning and evening SER
vices We're significant OF a healthy,
vigorous, resourceful condition OF the
church.
Eighteen persons received the hand
of fellowship, admitting them TO
membership, in the forenoon. Two
others who had been voted In were
unable 10 be present but win be re-
ceived at an early date. This large
influx was chiefly the result of
hand-to-hand campaign OF eyangelis-
tic work in which more than 90 per-
sons have been enlisted, it being
the intention OF the local church to
do its share toward adding 500 900
names to the denominatlonal rolls in
the next five years, under the plan
outlined by the national leaders.
Particularly impressive was the
ceremony by which five babies were
baptized. Many OF The young per
sons who were admitted into the
church also received baptism.
An extended program OF Easter
music for the morning was excellent
ly presented, consisting oil two an
thems by the choir, selection by
them by the choir, a selection by
the ladies' quartet, solo by Mrs.
Briegleb and an organ-flute offertory
by Mrs. Cannon and Prof. Cushman.
AT both morning and evening SER
vices, crowds We're in attendance,
filling the auditorium and Sunday

appreciation were heard.

Alton Star-Enterprise: Stripped of
his normal republican majority,
Harding will lose in his contest for
governor. Put both men on an equal
footing and Meredith will win in
walk. But he has a large republican
majority to overcome before he has
chance Of winning. But it is prob
ably true that party lines will be
broken this fall as they have never
been broken before, and it will take
congressional investigation to de.
termine who are republicans and who
are democrats. The issues are 80
uonpolitical that the average voter
will pay very little attention to which
party his candidate belongs. In most
instances this Il the right way e
vote.
