be proud
The moving pictures show the boys
while they were making that record
the Ft Huachuca hike, outpost
guard duty on the Mexican line,
camp life at Nogales, trenching, on
the rifle range, the Captain Wilson
incident, the camera showing the
scene where he was shot and latter
the hospital, etc, etc, and many
other thrilling events of the seven
months the Idaho lads were on the
Border
The Regimental Quartet Of the
Second Idaho was conceded to be
the best quartet at Nogal,s and the
boys sung their way into the hear S
of the 5000 guardsmen stationed
there and were in constant demand

Their Mexican Waddle" is a scream
The camp and Border melodies are
full of life and fun.

CONTRACT LET FOR
IRRIGATION PROJECT
LITTLE WILLOW IRRIGATION DIS
TR|CT LETS CONTRACT FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF DAM
AND DITCHES.

Mr. B. ID. Mcintyre, president, and
Mrs. Mcintyre, secretary OF the Lit
tie Willow Irrigation District, l.. H..
Patton and Jasper Roe were in Pay
ette Monday and met with the board
of directors of the above district, at
which meeting the contract was let
for the construction of the Dam and
ditches, to David Miller of Kansas
City, and sub let by Mr.. Miller to
Mainey and Wells Bros, contrac ors,
whose head quarters are at Boise.
There was also present at this meet
ing, r. E. Miller, representing Puget
Sound Dredging Co. of Seattle, who
yhaye arranged TO buy the bonds of
the district as soon as they are print,
ed, amounting to s165, 900. 90 of which
$50, 100000 is TO be paid in cash to
apply on the payment of the land
to be used for the reservoir, and
S115,00000 to be accepted ty the
contractors in payment for the con-
struction work The board of direct |
ors deemed it advisable to have tn ir I
office at Payette E. c. S. Brainard
was elected secretary; B. D. Mem
tyre was reelected presid-nt, and
]. L. Edwads, treasurer.
This project has been contemplat-
ed for some time and is one of
much merit and when completed will
mean much to the land owners un-
der the project as well as the poo
pie of Payette. The land under this
system of irrigation is of the best
quality. The dam and reservoir site
is the most natural of any in the
state. The dam when completed will
be go feet in height and the canaci-
ty of the reservoir is estimated at
80, 900 acre feet, which We believe to
be very conservative estimate.

LIBRARY NOTES.

During the past week the Library
has been closed and the committee
worked early and late to put every
thing in order; not book was neg
lected, some needed no mending
others little, some a great deal
and few were tied together to be
sent out where people will be glad
to have them even if every leaf is
loose
All the new books are in their
right places on the shelves.
Adult fiction occupies the shelves
in the Office room, children's books
on the low shelves in the Reading
room; poetry, essays, science, reIi-
gion, history, biography and mis-
cellaneOus also in the Reading room.
As soon as it is possible to do it
a card index will be made of the
titles of the books arranged alphabet
ically. The index of authors will be
transferred to new cards after the
title index is made.
An invitation is extended to every
body TO make use of the Library.
Enter the contest and you will be
more interested in the Library.
Under the conditions it has been
thought best by Portia and its Lii
Drary committee not to arrange the /
by Company l or the
md Idaho as has been advertised; !
'ut it is hoped something can be
lone later.
