You may be two, six or ten miles away
from town, but with DELCO- LIGHT

Think what an advantage it would be

LAND NEAR BRUNEAU
MAY BE IRRIGATED
BY ARTESIAN WELLS

According to w. C. Swendsen, Ida
no state commissioner of reclama-
tion, the possibilities of a good flow
of artesian water for irrigation are
exceedingly bright in the vicinity
of Bruneau and Grandview. The
commissioner is back on the job at
Boise after making a survey of this
district. His examination was for
the purpose Of determining the feas-
ibility of increased development Of
irrigated land along the Bruneau
river. It is proposed, he says, to
use the flood waters of the irver un-
til exhausted, and supplement this
supply with water from artesian
wells.
Already several wells have been
sunk, and an eight-inch one is de-
livering sufficient water for several
hundred acres. The water comes
from 12OO-foot well and is warm.

GENERAL TRIES TO EAT
GROUSE THAT BASCOM PETTED

General D. A. Utter informs The
Republican that he was recently pre-
sented with a grouse by John Gaines,
our county commissioner, who with
his wife and sister were vacating in
the neighborhood of the Bascom
ranch above Featherville
The General was greatly pleased
with his present and took it over to
Charles to have it cooked in the
latest and most approved style. Char
lie did his best, but when the feast
was spread and the General sat down
at the table with pleasant anticipa-
tions engaging his soul, the grouse
refused to respond to the gentle
prodding of fork. In fact it re-
fused to ''give up even when
sharp knife was brought into play.
We are informed that Charlie
subsequently cooked the grouse for
two days, and finally in despair ran
it through a meat grinder, reducing
the carcass to the consistency of
chewed rubber.
The General says that in his opin-
ion this is a grouse that old man
brought up by hand and fed
until he passed to his reward, and
that John Gaines sneaked up on it
and killed it with club.

Regular Attendance
Failure in school work is often
due to poor attendance, either irreg-

ness makes this necessary. The
compulsory attendance law has been
published and its provisions are
quite we'll known. Idaho requires
attendance until the age of IS, un-
less the eighth grade is completed,
and then students may leave school
when they reach the age of Is. This
