TO BUILD SMITHSFERRY
ROAD
Work to be Done by Forest Ser
vice from Horseshoe
Bend.

The Forest Service has under con-
sideration the construction of two
important roads this year. One of
them is from Horseshoe Bend to
Smiths Ferry and the other is the
continuation of the South Fork road
from Deadwood north through Low
man and east to Stanley Basin.
Two prominent officials of the
governments road department are on
the ground for the purpose of making
plans and estimates of the work. They
are Mr.. Ball of Portland, head of the
good roads department in the North
west, and Mr.. Calvert of the forest
office at Ogden.
These two highways are important
links in the forest services chain of
roads to make accessible and develop
the timber and mineral resources of
the Payette forest. Their construc-
ton will be of great benefit to this
section of the state.

To Finance Farmers.

The interest rate on state money
deposited with the banks of Idaho was
reduced from 31A per cent to per
cent by the depository board Tues
day. The board also decided to per-
nit banks to deposit federal war bonds
with the state treasurer as security
for funds deposited with them by the
state. The depository boards action
is in keeping with suggestions made
at the state war conference last week.
The board adopted resolutions asking
banks not to charge farmers more
than 8 per cent interest on money lent
for purchase of seed, horses, machin-
cry, etc, while war is in progress. The
state now has more than S50O,OOO out
on deposit and will soon have another
S5OO,OO0 in cash to deposit with the
banks. The majority of the banks
have about all the state funds they
can handle unless they put up addi-
tional security, but that they will
be urged to do, to keep available cash
in Idaho for movement of crops.

MONTOUR-
By Mrs. r. E. holland.

A. D. Stanton has Clark Cox and
his force blowing and sowing the K,
B. Wilson tract east of town. Mr..
Stanton had this piece of ground in
fall wheat, but it did not come and
now he will try spring barley.
Mr.. Williams is still drilling grain.
He expects to put in all on the north
side of the road which will be near to
a hundred acres.
George Adams is preparing the
ground and planting garden and po-
tatoes. The first crop of spuds were
planted Good Friday and he will put
in some more later on. He has over
ten thousand cabbage plants ready to
transplant.
Mrs. Adams and Mrs. holland caught
the first mess of fish of the season in
this place and they were not all sue
kers, either.
1t was an oversight that we failed
to mention the paper last week sent
to the convention by H. w. Hollar.
so good is worth talking
about and we will say this, that it
was to the point and full of good
things and help to the convention.
Frank Marker and family are visit
ing with Mrs. Markers parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Vaughn.
Rev. Seward preached two good
sermons Sunday to the largest con-
gregation he has had in this place: It
is good to have the people feel that
the church building is theirs and have
them come out and enjoy the benefits
derived from it.
The church has been finished to the
extent where it can be used but still
lacks the floor and plaster. The trus
tees met at the parsonage Monday
evening and went over their accounts
finding little Indebtedness as far as
he work has gone.

The shortest definition of patrio-
tism is service for ones country.
There are many ways in which you
can serve your country while at home.
Here are some:
Plant larger garden than ever and
can sufficient from it to tide you thru
this year and part of the next.
Plant more potatoes as these are
staple food articles.
Every acre should be planted to
corn or kafir, and receive the best cul-
tivation possible.
Twenty five to 80 per cent of the
wheat land could be disked after cut
ting and planted to feterita.
Corn land can easily be prepared
for wheat next fall, thus having the
two crops overlap.
Plant cowpeas for their food value
as we'll as a soil builder.
Save the manure and apply tons
an acre.
Make this banner year for chic
kens and swine.
More attention should be given to
raising turkeys.
Insect pests should be combated in
orchard, garden and field.

A Big Success.

The High school class play, present
ed by the Seniors at Ideal Theater
Thursday evening pleased packed
house. The parts were admirably
taken and the delineation of the char
acters was we'll done. The play was
typical of college life and carried a
well balanced plot. There was just
enough romance in it to keep the in
terest to the very end. While all act
ed their parts splendidly, six charac-
ters stood out in strong relief. They
were "Strongheart" represented by
Don Downing, the studious student
Reade by Roy Edgerton, Billy Saun-
ders by Will Langroise, Molly by
Helen Cochran, Thorne, the villain, by
John MCGOWAN, and Frank Nelson by
John Gamage. The scenic effects and
costumes were pretty and harmonious.

LOGS FOR MILL NEXT
WEEK
First Train MOnday-Expect to
Start Machinery Middle
of Week.

The big sawmill is ready for bust
ness and it is planned to start the
machinery about the middle of next
week. 1t is probable, however, that
only trial run will be made, as the
facilities for handling the lumber af-
ter its emergence from the mill are
not completed and may require a
couple of weeks longer. But so far as
the sawmill proper is concerned, every
thing is ready, even to the filing of
the new band saws. j. P. Dion says
it is as fit as worlds champion be-
fore the battle or a thoroughbred en-
tered for the derby. Mr.. Dion is
proud of it, for it is the best mill he
ever built, and he has built lot of
them, and good ones, too. 1t is the
most complete and most modern mill
ever built by the Weyerhauser COM
pany.

FRUIT DRYING PLANTS
IN view
Two Propositions Presented for
Establishment of Factory
Up for Consideration.

Two propositions for the establish
ment of fruit drying plants here have
been presented to the citizens of EN-
NETT and fruit growers and farmers
this week.
One of them is made by the Idaho
Products Company of Boise, who were
represented here Sunday by Messrs.
Stoehr and Sewell. They propose to
install factory here with capacity
of 25 tons of green fruit a day for
prunes exclusively. After consulta-
ton with prune growers and several
business men, the company has agreed
to establish this plant here provided
600 tons of prunes shall be guaranteed
this season. They offer $50 per ton
cash delivered at plant. The fruit
may be gathered at small expense
The custom is to shake the trees every
day and catch the fruit on canvas,
then dump into boxes.
The second proposition comes from
L. M. Ormsby and F. H. Smith of
Boise, who own the patent right for
the vacuum air evaporator. This
system handles all kinds of vegetables
except tomatoes, and all kinds of
fruit except Strawberries. 1t is the
system used by the government, ex-
cept it has some Improvements. These
gentlemen desire to erect the plant
ready for operation for company of
business men or cooperative COM.
pany of fruit growers and farmers.
No definite decision has yet been
reached, but is being considered by
a committee.

What bid fair to be a dull and
listless city election in the early hours
of Tuesday, gathered interest and
excitement as the day advanced when
it was learned that a dark horse had
been surreptitiously injected into the
mayoralty race and that many votes
were being cast for Ed Allen. No
printed ballots with Mr. Aliens name
thereon were used, but his name was
written in the regular ballot. The
adherents of DR.. Rose at once got
busy and by an active canvas put the
Progressive ticket out of danger.
The vote by wards follows:

Borah to Quit.

Senator William E. Borah Tuesday
announced that he will retire from
the senate at the close of his present
term. His plans for the future have
not been made. This announcement,
made exclusively through northwest
ern newspapers, does not occasion
particular surprise, for it has been
known for some time the senator had
such step in contemplation, had dis
cussed it with many friends and it
was only question when he would de-
clare himself For the present the
senator does not care to discuss the
causes which led him to take this
step and as for his plans for the fu-
ture they are not made. 1t is rumor-
ed that he will accept lucrative posi-
ton in law office in New York.

LUMBER PLANT
OWNERS VISIT
Boise-Payette Lumber Company's Of
cials Inspect Emmett Plant.

William Carson of Burlington, Ia.
F. E. Weyerhaeuser of st. Paul
MIMI, and Rudolph Weyerhauser of
Cloquet, Mimi, officers and stockhold-
ers in the Boise-Payette Lumber COM
pany, spent Friday in Emmett on a
tour of inspection of their new mill
here and expressed themselves as
being much pleased. Mr.. Carson is
president of the company and F. E.
Weyerhaeuser is treasurer In re-
sponse to the question put to him as
to whether the United States entry
into the war would have good eff
feet on the lumber business, Mr.. Car
son told the Statesman:
81 feel sure it will have a good eff
feet on all business just as soon as
we get adjusted"
1t would, of course, help the lumber
business, too, he said, through the
governments planning to build wood
en- ships, "and they can build about
500 of them within six months. Of
course no Idaho lumber will be used
for shipbuilding. They will use the
lumber around the gulf and on the
Pacific coast, but it will have the
effect of increasing the demand for
all lumber"
"What about the price? Will it
rise as other commodities have?" Mr..
Carson was asked.
"That is something no one can pre-
dict at this time. While lumber is a
little higher now than it has been for
some little time, it has been low for
a long time, not near the price which
it has been"
The gentlemen said they hoped to
have the Emmett mill running within
a short time and looked forward to
splendid year.

Alfalfa Damage.

There is no longer any question that
the damage to alfalfa fields is more
general than at first supposed. Very
few of the old fields but are injured
from 30 to rs per cent. Otto Will
helm claims the roots were so full of
sap when the freeze in November set
in that they cracked open. He says
it is a waste of seed to sow it on the
old fields and harrow it in. He has
tried it and has never been able to get
a stand. He says the only way is tc
plow up the fields before seeding. He
advises that crop of oats, barley or
wheat be grown, then seeded to alfal-
ia. Clover will grow if narrowed in
the old fields, however.

w. J. Roup, the well known dry
farmer in Fertile Valley, south of
Freezeout, has plans made to sink
for artesian water on his ranch. Mr..
Roup expects to put drill down from
the bottom of his present dug well,
which is 34S feet deep. 1t will be
remembered that warm water, almost
hot, was struck in this well few
months ago. A strong flow of artesian
water in that section would mean the
opening up of large area of as fine
a body of, rich farm land as lies out
