VIII Utah Copper
Take Neoada Conn.,

The story of the Utah Copper TAX
ing over Nevada Consolidated, and
which is of considerable interest in
this district has been revived. 1t is
earnestly hoped by many here that
the consolidation may take place, and
the fact Is pointed out that should
such occur no harm can come while
on the other hand the added strength
of Utah Copper would probably re-
suit I'm increased activity and an add
cd pay roll In this district which is
Of vital interest not only to business
men but to all who reside here. Com
menting on the subject the Salt Lake
Tribune has this to say:
Reports that the Utah Copper
company is about to make a new Of
fer for the outstanding shares OF the
Nevada Consolidated company have
been resurrected and are now being
circulated broadcast. says New
York exchange.
There is ground for believing. how
ever. that while previous reports were
merely fathered by wishes, the offer
now Is taking definite shape.
The present plan calls for an Of
fer to outside stockholders of the
Nevada Consolidated one share of
Utah Copper for each four shares Of
Nevada Consolidated now held. Ef-
forts have been made. 1t is under
stood, TO pick up quietly the large In
diyidual holdings of Nevada Consoli-
dated, interests connected with the
Utah Copper management being re-
ported TO have offered $50 a share
for the block of 1000 shares held by
a man who was a prominent factor in
Nevada Consolidated in the early
days when James Phillips, Jr.. was
PRESIDENT This was just before the
Guggenheims obtained control of the
company by offering one share of
Utah Copper for each two and one
quarter shares of Nevada Consolidat-
ed
THE Nevada Consolidated is a
good property and at one time made
copper for less than cents pound
1t was a lower cost producer than
Utah Copper for some time. Its smell
ter at Steptoe is one o. the finest In
the country. and the ore treated is OF
the same general porphyry type as
the Utah Copper company's ores.
"A new crushing plant Is being
built by the Utah company at Nc
Gill, but will not be ready for sew
eral months. The Nevada Consoli-
dated has some 50,000.o00 tons OF

TO BUILD GARAGE.
VIM. Womack to Erect Building for
Nj. & M. Co. of Model Design.

Will Womack has completed plans
and made definite arrangements for
the erection of modern home for the
M. & M. Garage and blacksmith and
machine shop for himself on the pres
ent site of his blacksmith shop. The
building will be a one story brick
structure, so 130 feet.
1t is proposed to make this a model
garage building. 1t will be as near
ly fire proof as possible. 1t will con-
tain display room and paror and
rest room. The vulcanizing room will
be absolutely fire proof, the partition
walls to be constructed of brick and
cement and lined on the inside with
asbestos. Mr.. Womack's blacksmith
shop will have frontage of 25 feet.
The buildings and grounds represent
an outlay of $4,000.

He Fooled EN-.

J. P. Dion, the genial superinten-
dent of construction of the B.-P. saw
mill, demonstrated the other day that
he can do other things as efficiently
as he can design and build lumber fac
tories. For sometime he had been
Dragging of his ability as a bread
maker, and his claims became so boast
full at a little dinner gathering Sat
urday night, at which Mr.. and Mrs.
Foss and Mr.. and Mrs. Armsbaugh
were present, that Mrs. Dion and the
other two ladies decided he was bluff
ing and "called" him. Did Joe back
down? Not on your lifel That night
he set the sponge, next morning he
kneaded the dough the required num-
ber of times, made it into loaves and
set it in the oven. The bread was a
success-it was fine. So declared his
faithful pals, Foss and Armsbaugh,
and even the women, inclined to be
skeptical, had to admit the bread was
good, so good, in fact, that Mrs. Dion
decided that hereafter Joe should
make all the bread But all was not |
clear sailing for Mr. Dion in the max
ing. He had been used to making
bread in quantities sufficient to feed
a regiment of lumberjacks, and when
the dough raised it overflowed the
pans, scooted across the kitchen floor,
climbed onto the chairs and tables
and even attempted to break through
he door. But even at that, the bread
was so good it didn't make any diff
ference if there was a supply suffi-
,ient to last a week or two, and Joe's
equations as a bread maker is as
secure as is his ability aS a builder

FALLS FROM B.-P. MILL
BUILDING
B. N. Wynne, an EmplOye, Sus-
tains Severe Injuries in
Drop of 30 Feet.

B. N. Wynne, employed on the
structural steel work at the Boise
Payette Lumber company's mill, fell
from the roof of the power house
Tuesday morning and sustained
broken thigh and a mashed knee cap.
The unfortunate man is one of the
'steeplejacks" who has been erecting
the burner and steel smokestacks, and
doing other structural steel work. He
was walking along the edge of the
peak of the roof of the power house
when he commenced to slide down the
roof. He kept his feet until near
the edge of the roof, when he lost
his footing and with a loud cry of
terror that startled other workmen, he
toppled over and fell to the ground a
distance of 30 feet. He struck upon
a pile of timbers. Besides the broken
leg he suffered very severe bruises
about the body. He was at once taken
to Boise by Dr.. Tukey, the company's
physician, in his car and placed in a
hospital for treatment. At last re-
ports he is recovering from the shock
and it is not thought any serious re-
suits will follow

WEISER HIGH
OUTCLASSED
Fast Emmett High Quintet Defeats
Them Handily-Score 80 to %.

The Emmett High School basket
ball team took sweet revenge on the
Weiser High for the football victory
won by Weiser last fall, and in one
of the fastest games seen on the loc-
al floor defeated them Friday evening
The score was 80 to %.
Both teams were out for blood, and
the game started out to be very rough
but by close refereeing they were
held down, till it became an exceed
ingly fast game The first half was
very close, the score being Is to II
in favor of Emmett, but it was in the
second half that Emmett got in their
fine work and by fast playing and
excellent team work the score ended
80 to 2S. Clark and Whitsell, for
wards, were the star players of the
local team, Clark making five field
goals and 6 fouls and Whitsell five
baskets. Crabtree and Kidd, guards,
also did god work, and although they
were opposed by two of the fastest
forwards they have run against this
year they were able to hold them
down to only one goal each.

new CHRISTIAN CHURCH
FOR EMMETT
Plans Being Drawn for a Build
ing of the Bungalow Type
New Parsonage Also

A new church edifice and new
parsonage will be built this spring by
the Christian church people of EN-
NETT. Work on the parsonage will
commence at once, and plans for the
church building are now being consid-
cred by the building committee and
construction work will commence as
soon as the plans are approved and
the necessary arrangements made.
Both buildings will be of the bunga-
low type. Church buildings of this
type of architecture have become
popular in recent years. The Emmett
church will be planned especially for
modern Bible work and will have sep
arate rooms for all classes. The
parsonage will be modern in every
respect and will contain six rooms.
The old buildings will be removed
and the new buildings erected in
their place.
Under the leadership of the pres
ent pastor, E. E. Coulter, and the
heary cooperation and assistance
of his faithful parishioners, the mem
bership of the church has grown
steadily and has outgrown its present
equipment. The society owns the
lots and buildings, is out of debt,
and with the bright outlook for large
growth and development in both town
and country, the demand for larger
quarters and better equipment is i'm
perative.
The present church building is one
of the landmarks of the city. 1t is
the original Methodist church build
ing and for upwards of 20 years was
located on the present site of the
Butte block at the corner of Main
and Washington streets. When the
new Methodist church was built the
Christian church people bought the
old building and moved it to its pres
ent location.

All-Stars Defeated.

The Emmett All-Stars were defeat
ed last evening at Boise be a score of
27 to Is by the Up-to-Date team of
that place. The Emmett team went
to Boise with large following of
rooters and great confidence in win
ming the game But their hopes went
glimmering in the first half of the
game, when Floy Sanders, one of the
crack guards of the local team hurt
his knees and was forced to retire
from the game. With Sanders re-
tirement the team work of the En-
nett boys was destroyed and from
then on it was easy pickings for the
Boise team. Manager Anderson spoke
very highly of the splendid support
given the team, and desires to thank
the Emmett people for the way they
have backed the local team. The
game last night was the last game
this season for the All-Stars.

OBERMEYER BROTHERS
BRANCH OUT
Show Faith in Emmett Fruit
Lands by Adding 100 Acres
to Holdings.

Henry and Lou Obermeyer have
unbounded faith in Emmett fruit
lands and the future of the fruit in
dustry. They this week added to
their holdings los acres of South
Slope land, buying S5 acres from
Hiram w. Miller, through F. A. De-
Clark, for $4,000, and the E. C. Rund-
strom 20 acres for $4,000.
Since coming to the Emmett coun-
try few years ago, the Obermeyer
brother flour of them) have made a
great success of fruit growing, truck
gardening and melon raising. Their
capital was mighty small when they
arrived here. Today they are recog-
nized as the largest distributors of
peaches, grapes, watermelons and
cantaloupes to Idaho consumers in the
state Their sales last year, in spite
loads Their first purchase of a 20
acre tract has increased to several
hundred and their credit at the
banks is almost unlimited.
Their success may be attributed to
hard work, fair dealings, personal
attention to every detail of packing
and marketing of their products, and
personal contact with their customers.
They have made their word as good
as their bond in practically every
county in southern Idaho. In very
many towns the Obermeyers have a
clientele that no other dealer can
touch because the Obermeyer label
is synonym for perfect goods. When
the writer was in Haley two years
ago everyone was inquiring when En-
nett peaches would be ripe and all
Of them were waiting for the Ober-
meyer product, because they knew it
could be depended on to be first-class
The same is true of a score or more
towns in southern Idaho. Everywhere
they have put Emmett fruits and
melons on the map.

Arrowr0ck dam was intended for set
tiers on the south side of the Bois,
river. 1t is true that settlers of the
Black Canyon have been left without
means by which to complete theil
homes for which they have suffered
and sacrificed so much. This condi-
ton is equally true of settlers on the
south side of the Boise river, who
have spent years in facing hardships
and deprivation with the expectation
of getting water for their lands as
soon as the Arrowrock dam was COM
pleted. Now they are facing disap-
pointment, realizing that the water
for which they have been waiting
patiently, for which they have been
holding their lands in the face of great
inconvenience is about to be divert
ed to a section for which it was never
intended
"Your reference to the ultimate
watering of the Black Canyon from
the Payette river does not seem a
practical idea. 1t does not seem
practical to first divert water from
Arrowrock dam to a part of the
Black Canyon and later water that
entire section from the Payette river.
1t is an indisputable fact that the
watering of the lower portion of the
Rlack CanvOn Such as is nrOnOsed
will leave the portion which is most
expensive to irrigate, dry. The water
which is diverted to the lower por-
tion will probably become attached
to the land and it is question as to
whether or not it can later be changed.
"Your action in favor of securing
the entire Black Canyon district wa
tered is heartily in accord with our
views. Such action as will tend to
ward the greatest development of our
arid lands, should have the indorse-
ment of every public-spirited citizen
and community. We trust that every
foot of irrigable land in that district
will soon be made productive, but we
must stand with the commercial
bodies of Mountain Home, Boise, En-
nett and the settlers of the lands tri-
butary to those places in their effort
Of securing what they consider, and
what we consider, is justice to all
parts concerned"
