Season Practice
Gives Promise of
Strong Quintet.

Basketball practice is in full swing
at the College of Idaho. An extended
trip into Utah shortly after the holt
days is making it necessary to start
practice for the winter sport a little
earlier than is customary.
Thursday evening, the sophomore
and upper class teams played the first
game of the class series, which is an
annual early season event With the
same team which won the class cham
pisnship last year. the sophomore
quintet is epected to duplicate that
performance again this season. al
though the upper class team, repre-
senting both juniors and seniors. with
four letter men from last seasons COL
lege quintet, is expected to give them
run for their money.
Prospects are regarded as bright for
fairly creditable team representing
the local college this season. Every
member of last years squad has re-
ported for practice and in addition,
Wade Lowell, Braskamp and several
other men promise to give some of the
old heads run for their positions.
Early season practice games will prob
ably be arranged with an aggregation
representing the Nampa post of the
American Legion andother neighbor-
ing town quintets.
About Is men are turning ont repu-
'arly at present for practice.

Reynolds Creek Is
New Project Scene
Potentially Rich Area Above Owens
Springs VIII Be Irrigated
in Near Future.

Nampa. - Visitors from Owyhee
county state that large force is now
at work on the ditch from Reynolds
creek to Givens Springs.
For many years the possibilities
of this flat has held the eye of pro-
motors. 1t has long been conceded
that the logical route for a ditch is
the one taken by the present COM
pany. The ditch will be about seven
miles long and the first mile taking
the water out of the canyon will cost
more than $4,000.
Much work was done ON he pro-
ject in the past two years and now
a contract has been let to complete
the work in the canyon, the consid-
Grafton being $4,000. After leaving
the canyon the ditch is nearly all
straight team work and is already
we'll along towards completion.
The project is being financed by
Boise business men who are we'll
able to see it through, and who state
it will be completed in time for irri-
cation season next spring.
Years ago this flat was the center
of quite an oil excitement at which
time it was discovered that the en-
tire region is underlaid by an arte-
sian belt
Numerous wells have been drilled
since obtaining water varying in
temperature from cold to nearly
boiling, according to depth. The old
indications of oil have been excited
interest and for the past two months
a company has been busy securing
leases with the intention of putting
down a deep test we'll.
The soil in the flat is of the same
general character as the Gem dis
trict and ranges from l6 to 40 feet
in depth. Water is the only thing
needed to change this bit of Idaho's
desert to very valuable and highly
productive land, the very best in
Idaho.

as shown by call statements on Nov.
IS are considerably less than for the
like period last year. However, when
it is considered that the crops were
practically all marketed at this time
last year at prices much higher than
at present, the showing made is in
harmony with prices received this fall
and in the further fact that perhaps
over so per cent of the total of crops
remain unsold. Collections are report
ed slow and credits very closely
drawn. There is an active demand for
farm loans.
Real Estate and Building-Both are
dull; in fact, scarcely any sales are
reported. In the fact that the housing
problem shows it to be as
acute as ever, notwithstanding that
many residences were erected during
the year, and now that building ma
terial has made heavy decline, it is
thought that when crops can be moved
that there will again be some activity
in building.
Thanksgiving-While many things
may not appear at present as bright
as OF our expectations, yet. after all,
considering the good crops produced,
the improvements made in the city and
community, the general good health
OF all the people, and last, but not
least, relief from last year in the
shortage of fuel, and many other
blessings received during the year, as
also in the thought of better times, We
are quite given to the thought of be-
ing thankful and wish to all of our
customers and friends all the blessings
of the occasion.
