Chandler, Model City, Mecca For Tourists In Winter
FORMER LARGE CATTLE RANCH NOW DIVIDED I|TO SMALL HOLDINGS HOME OF HUNDREDS
 OF PROGRESSIVE, STEADY HON|E BUILDERS

Dr. A. J. Chandler owner of the once large and beautiful Chandler stock ranch, and the reclamation ser vice, through combination of pro- prietorship, ownership and regulations were responsible for the creation of the beautiful and flourishing little city of Chandler. Dr. Chandler was responsible for the idea of building the city, for the unique and beautiful plans for the city, and for putting his idea and plans into operation. The reclamation service was the propelling power which germinated the ideas and plans in Dr. Chandler's mind when the government ruled that land owners ssader the Roosevelt project could purchase water for no more than 160 acres.
 In years before Chandler district was taken under the Roosevelt project and included in the rich irrigation dis trict of the Salt River valley, the Chandler cattle ranch was one of the show places of the valley. The ranch consisted of many acres more than the reclamation service would water for one owner.
 Accordingly, Dr Chandler sub -divid- ed his large holdings and offered for purchase to ranchers and prospective ranchers in the Salt River valley rich lands under the Roosevelt project. At the same time he conceived the idea of city beautiful in the heart of his tract and set out to build up one of the most model towns in the south west
 The building of the city of Chandler was contemplated and planned long before the first pick was struck into the townsite. An architectural artist hn ,,1 landscape gardeners, and builders who are acquainted with the southwest and western atmosphere were imported and put at work. The result was a plat for city before a city was started, wide streets, parkWays, spacious play grounds, ideal locations for churches and schools. plenty of sidewalks and driVeways and spacious grounds fol public use. Included in the heart of the city were the modern San Marcos hotel and the Chandler business block.
 To the San Marcos hotel, Chandler owes much for the upbuilding of it's cosmopolitan and liberal population, drawn from every state in the union and made up of q thinking, progressive and educated class who cooperate for the upbUilding of the community and for the betterment of every citizen in the Chandler district. Known as the most beautiful, most artistic and the best tourist hotel in the southwest. famed for it's catering, spoken of throughout the union for it's location, known for it's golf links it's outdoor sporting grounds with motoring, horse back riding an6 shooting numbered as its major attractions, and praised from eastern, southern, northern and western parts, persons seeking an ideal place to mak ehomes.

ton and the price received for ship ments outside the valley is from S8O to $100 per ton. The crop in this valley ripens several weeks ahead of the Cali fornia crop and shippers in this valley are generally through with the early crop and within three to five weeks completion of the late crop before they must compete with shippers from Cali fornia.
 The need of larger orchards for shipments to outside points is here brought home by this grower who de- clares that the limited acreage does not assure large enough lots for fre- quent shipments. He urges the plant ing of many more deciduous orchards in the district.
 With the exception of cherries, goose berries and entrants nearly all other deciduous fruits thrive here. Among the most popular and frequent are april cots, peaches, plums, pears, prunes figs apples, quince, nectarines, pome- granates, strawberries, blackberries and | raspberries

Great Britain's estimated wealth IL
$50, 900, 900, 600; she has made three
great loans since the commencement
nt the wa, aggregating $40, 1000, 900,
600. Her last was the greatest Single
loan ever tioated In the history Of the
world. 1t was taken updn 30 davs,
., o,2S9, 900 individuals subscribing to
the loan. One person In every II
Inhabitants of the United Kingdom
subscribed TO this loan, aud the
'verape subscription was $3.50, though
great many subscribers took only 81
or about $5. The great number OF
subscribers to this loan is pointed out
as evidence of the patriotism of the
British people.
GermanJ'S wealth is estimated a.
$50, 900 000 900. Germany has put
out tive loans since the commence
'neni Of the war, aggregating $tI,
$50. 600. 600. In Germany's latest
loan person in 10 of the population
IS reported To have subscribed, and
the average amount taken 10y each
subscriber was $500.

figures, the 5000, 900, 600 loan of the
United States with an estimated
wealth Of 1920, 900, 900. 900 aud pop.
ulation of over 100, 900, 900 seems
almost small. With wealth nearly
three times as great as that of Great
Britain II is trying to borrow less
than one half of what Great Britain
has boIrowed. With a population
one and one half times as large a.
that nf Germany, our loan Is much
less than half Of the amount that
Germany has borrowed.
America's Liberty Loan is less than
me sixth of the bank deposits In our

Urge Fruitmen to Prepare Storage

w. Buchanan of Rathdrum,
deputy state horticultural inspec-
tor, is gathering information on the
amount of storage facilities for
fruits, and at the same time urging
the growers to be we'll equipped in
this department. Mr.. Buchanan
is acting under the following in
structions from Guy Graham, state
horticulturist:
cat recent meeting of the
Idaho war council, (the heads of
all state departments), | was in
structed to collect data on the
storage that would be available
this fall for the apples and other
fruits. Indications are for an un
usually heavy crop of fruit in
Idaho. A car shortage, which is
almost sure to occur, will cause
great loss to all growers as we'll as
loss of valuable food products to
the nation In order to save the
fruit crop it will be necessary for
both individuals and communities
to have some kind Of temporary
storage for apples and evaporating
plants of sufficient capacity to take
care of at least a portion of the
soft fruits.
81 ask that you make as thor
ough an investigation as possible
and report on the capacity of
storage and evaporating plants
that are in existence at the present
time in your district, also prospec-
tive plants that may be built be-
tween now and harvest time. In
communities where the crop will
be heavy and there are no facilities
for storing at least portion OF the
crop | will ask that you call the
attention of the growers to the
great loss of food products that
will result in case of severe car
shortage that is almost sure TO
exist. No doubt this question will
need considerable agitation and il
you think it necessary so soon as
the crop is assured l will visit your
section and assist in the campaign
for ample facilities for conserving
the fruit products of the state"

DIR. Soulen In Commencement Address
Defines New Patriotism.

he commencement exercises OF
the Rathdrum high school class OF
~, held last Friday evening in
the Presbyterian church, were. as
usual, attended by crowd that
overtaxed the capacity of the audi
torium.
DIR. Phi. Soulen, head OF the de
partment of education at the Uui-
versity Of Idaho, delivered the
commencement address, speaking
on the subject "Does education
pay?" He spoke of the vast sums
spent for school houses, equipment
and teachers salaries, and the need
of the cooperation of the parents
with the teachers to aid in obtain
ing a product that will prove the
investment is worth while. He
said to Judge if education pays we
must find the answer in the i'm
provement of mankind and his
condition and environment, and
his greater ability to enjoy the
beauties of nature, the fine arts
and the higher things of life. In.
telligence and education, he said,
spell the difference between the
war club of the savage and the
modern gun that throws its shell a
distance of twenty miles. Wealth
and material can do nothing with
out brains--a trained mentahty.

duce picture that sells for $780,

illustrations in an entertaining as
well as instructive way, and added
that his years of experience have
naturally produced in him feeling
that education pays.
In the course OF his address DIR.
Soulen defined what he termed the
new patriotism. He decried the
sentiment expressed in the words
"My country, may she always be
right, but right or wrong, my
country" He said he prote sted
against that kind of patriotism.

said, cit is your duty to bend
every effort to set it right" Then
, he added: 1.-The ideal of patriot
ism is that which leads us into a
war for no less a reason than that
which we now have-that the
world may have larger sense of
democracy"
