the past fourteen years has had
charge of the reservoirs and bitches
of the Mountain Home Cooperative
irrigation in the upper country, is
going to take several cars Of ore out
of the Cat creek mine of the Elmore
copper company for shipment to the
smelter.
Mr.. Cannon has had considerable
experience in mining, having opened
up couple of producing mines in
the Goldtield country in Nevada be-
fore coming to Mountain Home.
Mr.. Cannon and Jimmy Downs,
another OF the old time miners of
Elmore county, have acquired con-
siderable holdings on Moore's fiat,
about ten miles northeast of the
properties of the Elmore copper
company. They have some ore run
ming $100 a ton or better and are
driving a crosscut to open it up,
Mr.. Cannon says the Gilmore
copper company in their Cat creek
mine have one of the best showings
for the amount of work done that
he has ever seen in any camp. There
is lot Of good ore In sight and as
soon as the next level (Which should
show up the primary ore) is opened
up, they can go ahead with the op-
Grafton of their 50-ton mill, and be-
cause of the large vein, bring that
up to 500 or 1000 tons day pro-
duction.
1--WE expect to ship several cars
of high grade ore from our proper
ties on Moores fiat this summer"
said Mr.. Cannon, From all indica-
tions the mining men all over the
country are looking toward Elmore
county this year. The only wonder
is with as good mineral showing as
there is all through these hills that
this country has not been developed
years ago."

Government to Prosecute
Those Guilty Of War Fraud

Steps were taken by the executive
and legislative branches Of the gov
ernment Tuesday for investigation
and prosecution with vigor OF war
time fraud cases.
President Harding sent to the
house a request for a special appro-
priation of 100000 to be used by
the department of justice to investi-
gate and prosecute all cases, civil
or criminal, growing out of the war.
simultaneously Attorney General
Daugherty announced the appoint
ment of former Representative Ros-
coe McCulloch of Ohio as a special
assistant attorney general, to take
charge of the governments investi-
cation and possible criminal prose
cution of cases involving war camp
contracts and expenditures.
The house rules committee also
agreed to take up Wednesday the
question of giving privileged status
to the Johnson Woodruff resolution,
calling for appointment of special
committee to investigate all con-
tracts and expenditures by the navy
and war departments and the alien
property custodian, during and since
the war, and the settlement of gov
ernment laims arising out of such
contracts.
The attorney general, in announc-
ing the appointment of Mr.. McCul-
loch, said he had written the chair
man of the house rules committee
that the department had no objec-
tion to its investigation, and to go
along with it."
81 want to say this, however" he
added, Investigation by the depart
ment of wartime transactions has
been going on as rapidly as possible
with the funds congress has pro-
vided, and the use of other funds
where they could legitimately be
used for the purpose.
"The department never will al
low, nor has it allowed, politics to
interfere with its work. 1t is as
much the duty of the department to
protect the limo cent as it is to pro-
secute those who are guilty. No
person will be indicted unless we
feel he is guilty, and feel there is
reasonable assurance he will be con-
victed.'

Issuing New Cook Book.

Like all states, Idaho Is proud OF
what She produces, In very short
time a cook book made up by the la
dies of the Grange will be placed on
sale. 1t will contain recipes which
can be made from nearly all OF the
products raised in Idaho, such as,
-four, sugar, vegetables, meats,
fruits, etc. The recipes cover the
following topics, bread of all kinds,
cakes, pastry, canning and preserv-
ing, meats, salads etc.
Later on from time to time there
will be new and more recipes pub
lished In the Republican for the pub
lie to try. We are anxious to see
the grocery dealers place cards In
the window or some place where the
customers will know where the pro-
ducts are produced that they are us
ing.
A small amount of study on the
part OF the housewives will enable
them to prepare the choicest meals
and the expense will not be any
greater.
Idaho products have gained a ma
tional reputation for quality and
richness. Right here at home we
should learn of their merits CON
slider them always, and do every
thing within our power to enlarge
the market for them.
