rian young peoples societies) had a
big river rtip down the Silver Springs
run, and picnic supper at Connor,
which proved to be a huge success
and delightful affair.
They had chartered one ofsthe boats
of the Daylight Line, but on arriving
at the prings the crowd was so large
tina. both the"City of Silver Springs"
and the CITY of Cca,a'' had to be
requisitioned to handle the crowd.
The party went down the river as
far as Connor and at that point big
chicken pillau supper was the chief
feature and the gastronomic abilities
of the crowd were worked over time
on the delicious supper
The return trip by the light of the
silvery'' moon was likewise most
enjoyable feature of this affair.

BotDling Teams Shift Rapidly In
Percentage As Games Progress

Interest in the bowling league grew
considerably this week with the defeat
of the Oliver McKown team and the
corresponding rise of the Fall Creek
bunch. Both teams are strong but the
latter consistently out bowled the lea
que leaders in their match Tuesday
evening. The Press team took two
out of three from the Riverside gang
Wednesday and last night the Recla-
nation boys won three straight from
the National Guard.
On paper the Reclamation team
looks as good as any team in the lea
que. It's team average is but four
points below the Oliver McKown team
which leads with 157 pins per man.
High average was also made by an
Oliver McKown man, Harvey Anderson.
Earl Hooker of the Fall Creek is sec
ond in average. T. G. Sparks rolled
the lowest score of the season for an
average of ITO for three games. His
team won the series however.
High score for the week was made
by Henry Lang of the Riverside quin-
tette, who. rolled 21O Wednesday even
ing. High score for the season thus
far goes to Boulon of the Reclamation
team with 257 to his credit.
Games scheduled for next week
should be very interesting. The two
leaders will battle for supremacy. The
teams will play in the following order:
Jan, Sl-Headq. Troop VS.. Fall Creek
Feb. 1-Reclamation VS.. Riverside.
Feb. 2--Oliver & McKown VS.. Press.
The weeks results are as follows:

Estate win Suffer.

Only an act of congress can provide
Tor the loss in taxation due to the pur-
chases of property in American Falls
by the U. s. Reclamtion Service, ac-
cording to 0. f. Crowley, county as
sessor, who received a ruling by At
torney General Black while in Boise
last week. All Reclamation. property
Will therefore be left off the tax roll
Tor 1922 to preclude the necessity of tn
county paying the state tax on the pro-
perty. M a
lMr. Crowley states that it is the
opinion Of the Attorney General that
not one cent in either taxes or damages
can be obtained from the Reclamation
Service unless congress makes a spec
1al provision for same This means
that approximately 100000 of property
Will be withdrawn from the tax roll
meaning net loss of approximately
100000 in taxes for the county and
city obtained. Mr. Crowley points out
the seriousness of this condition and
the ultimate eject it will have on Amer
lean Falls property which will have to
be taxed to make up for the loss on
government property. The direct loss
is borne by the city and county in the
proportion of $3,40O county and
$4,000 city.
Attorney r. M. Patrick of the Rec
lamat1on Service concurs with Attor-
ney General Black though there is an
opinion by some that the loss in taxes
viii of necessity be taken care of by
the government.

his highest days business brought

as It was never sold before in Rock

sparsely settled farming district and
is l6 miles from the railroad. 1t was

forty and fifty miles distant. One or

Mr.. Peterson spared no expense on

The biils were carefully prepared and
emphasized comparatively few of the
many bargains. Although he covered
his territory thoroughly his advertis-
ing AMOUNTED TO less than four percent
OF MS gross sales and increased his
business 500 percent.
Mr.. Peterson was astonished at re-
suits. He believed it impossible dur
ing the present money stringency to
raise so much money in SO short a
time. But it came. The people
brought it. They crowded into his
store in droves. At times he had
thirteen to fifteen salespeople waiting
on customers that ordinarily did not
keep one clerk busy. 1t was a rare
example of the pulling power of adver-
Using and good merchandising and one
that will be followed up in the months
to come according to Mr.. Peterson.

active friends.
