HAD A HARD TRIP.
Took Five Days for Party to Come
From Smiths Prairie.

f. H. Bower, together with his son
and son-in-law, and Arden Finch and
Messrs Woodmore and Farrell arrived
in town Wednesday afternoon, having
made the trip in from the Smiths
Prairie country. 1t required five days
of strenuous travel to cover the dis
tance, about forty miles.
Mr.. Bower says there was three
feet of snow at the Prairie when
they started, and they were able to
make the trip with sleighs until
they reached the Pierce Creek hill. AT
this point they transferred to wagons
and came ON to Cow creek where
they were again forced to go back
TO the sleighs. The third transfer
was made at Toll Gate making the re
mainder of the trip with wagons.
The mail service is the worst that
Mr.. Bower has ever seen. For seven
weeks the people did not receive
anything but first class mail, which
was brought in by carrier on snow
shoes.
While i'm town Mr.. Bower let it be
known to some of his, friends that
he intends to seek the Republican
nomination for county commissioner
at the primary election in September.

INSPECTOR WHITE HERE.
Head Of State Sanitary Department
Visited Monday.

John X White, head of the State
Dairy, Food and Sanitary department, !,
was a visitor In town Monday an,
Tuesday. He was accompanied by one
or two deputies, and the town was
given a rather hasty inspection. In
spector White stated to the Republi-
can that he found conditions greatly
improved since his last visit, nearly
a year ago, and that the attitude Of
the people toward his work has un-
dergone a very decided change for
the better.
Mountain Home, he thinks, can be
made one of the most attractive
communities in Idaho, and right now,
while the p ople are in the mood for
such an undertaking, is the time for
us to get busy.
Some of Mr.. Whites work was of
an unpleasant nature, but the posi-
ton he takes is that the health Of
the community must be conserved
and that 1T is up to him to make
every possible effort to correct UNI
sanitary conditions wherever he finds
them. On the whole he expressed
himself as very we'll pleased with
the general conditions he found
here. and he took occasion to speak
in highest praise of the Jers y Dairy,
owned and conducted by Mrs. j. B.
Stanfield, which he pronounced as
being among the best kept institutions
of the kind he has inspected this
year.

EARLY GROWTH OF ALFALFA.
Sample From Grandview Eight Inches
In Height Obtained Monday.
"Wednesday Statesman

w euHebudy obtbVccnuahI
Russell G. Massey brought in from
Grand View ranch Tuesday
bunch of alfalfa eight inches high
which was pulled from the center OF a
field In that section on Monday. This
is considered an unusual growth for
the season.
Mr.. Massey said that agricultural
conditions in the Grand View district
were excellent. Thousands of sheep
were fed there last winter and the
feeding grounds, when worked over.
yield unusually heavy crops. This
section of the state is highly regard
ed for winter feeding OF sheep on
account of the light snowfall and
high temperature. Only five inches
of snow fell there last winter.
Hay was already being contracted
In the Grand View district, to a
limited extent, Mr.. Massey stated,
the price being So per ton. During
the last winter excellent beef was
killed in January and February from
stock that had not been put ON feed,
although the shortage Of water last
year made the pasture lighter than
usual.

be truly said that the court officials
and the jurymen have been going
some since the beginning OF the
weeks grind Monday morning.
The special yenire issued last
week by the Court brought the jury

possible The jury list follows:

The first case coming to trial was
that of the State vs. Lee Ill. Caldwell.
The defendant was charged with as
saDlt and attempted highway robbery.
The jury returned a verdict finding
the defendant guilty of assault only.
LII the case OF James Carroll VS.,
Joe Mendoza the jury returned YER
dict giving damages in the sum of

termined to put up as strong fight
as possible. With the conclusion of
these cases, there being two almost
identical, the District court will ad-
journ for the term.

send any gifts for Christmas this
year, as they are sending all they can
possibly spare to the soldier boys in
the trenches of Europe.
This will be a joyful Christmas for
the boys at the 'front.'" judging from
the large shipments Of parcels over
seas, gaily bedecked with bright col
ored ribbons. Department stores, to
offset the loss expected from the fall
ing off in the usual heavy sale of
Christmas presents, have placed es-
peCially packed boxes, containing
everything from candles to candy. and
soX to succotash. which may be
bought at bargain rates. for shipment
to the war front.
There has been an unusual ship
ment of Christmas boxes to Canadian
prisoners Of war in Germany this year
Senders do not have to pay postage on
these parcels, and the consequent saw
ing has resulted in many more COM
forts going to Germany to make life
more bearable for the men in the
prison camps Postage is a big item
in many cases, the parcels requiring
an outlay Of from 80 cents to 81 in
many cases just for stamps.
Little effort has been made toward
organized giving Of Christmas pres
ents to men in the trenches, most Of
the men being looked after by their
families Several of the patriotic Or
ganiZatiOns, however. are sending
parcels to men who have no home
ties. and one Winnipeg newspaper has
organized a fund to send presents at
New Years to men who are forgotten
at Christmas.
