BUSINESS MEN
FORM ORGANIZATION

Emmett.-At a luncheon meeting
Of 40 or more business men here last
week a tentative organization was
launched, to be krown as the Business
Mems association.
The idea had It's birth in desire
for a forum in which problems affect
ing the welfare of the community
might be discussed and was fostered
by G. B. Mains and was spontaneous
ly indorsed by practically every busi-
ness man to whom 1t was presented.
The consensus of opinion as expressed
in the brief talks that followed the
luncheon was that the new organiza-
ton should follow the lines OF the
Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, except that
the membership should not be so
limited. It is not intended to take
the place of the Commercial club, but
to be a valuable aid. Above all. il is
Intended to bring the business men in
TO closer fellowship and to meke them
better acquainted with each other
from a personal and social standpoint.

HENRY FORD'S CONCERN
LENDING HELPING HAND

An interesting incident in the his
tory Of local banking occurred Mon
day when the Ford Motor company
of Detroit, Michigan, deposited $685.
600 in the First National bank of
Pocatello. The deposit is an open ac-
count with no strings of any kind
attached, and according to local re-
presentatives of the Ford company,
is merely step to assist in relieving
the financial pressure. The check for
the $25,000 was received Monday
morning by j. M. Chase, of the Poca-
tello Auto Co., local Ford dealers, for
deposit in the bank.
The financial status of this section
of the state is rapidly getting back
to normal and the situation at pres
ent, according to authorities, is not
a lack of credit but rather lack of
money to loan. Large eastern inter
ests are greatly interested in the de-
of the west and the Ford
company has shown its faith in the
future of this section by sending
$4,000 of eastern money to Tighten
the strain.-Pocatello Tribune.

ELEVEN CARS OF
SPUDS SHIPPED

Mountain Home growers of pota-
toes are this week shipping eleven
cars to Denver. The consignment
was purchased by Mr.. vandenberg,
a buyer.
The grouping of the shipment was
engineered by John w. Caldwell, and
through his efforts the growers Will
receive price of 65 cents per hun
dred, whereas the market heretofore
has been far below this figure.
The shippers who are placing their
spuds in the consignment are as fol-
lows: Fay Bailey. cars; Tom Da-
Wis, cars; F. A. Collins, cars; Mr.,
Boswell. car; miscellaneous, 2 cars.
The potato market is on the climb
at present, and it is almost a dead
mortal cinch that the men who raise
potatoes this summer and going to.
get a fancy price for them.
Conditions through the section of
the country lying between the Mis-
sissippi river and the Rocky noun
tains are very bad this year, and the
eastern section viii have to depend
largely upon the Northwest for food
stuffs.
The Republican believes that our
ranchers will be making a big mis-
take if they fail to plant potatoes
this year

DECLO TO GET
CHEESE FACTORY

Burley.-A cheese factory at Declo
now seems a sure thing.
The committees that were appoint

800 cows required by Mr.. Laabs have
been signed up in each district. Meet
ings will be held with Mr.. Laabs in
the near future to make final ar
rangements for the starting of cheese
factories, and it is almost certainty
that cheese factories will be opened

REPUBLICAN FAMILY
AGAIN COMPETE
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Lindsay Return
From Kansas After Closing
Up Firm Business

Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Lindsay and
son Jack returned Tuesday afternoon
of this week from Caney, Kansas,
where they have been for the past
two months attending to business
matters. They are now back home
in Mountain Home to stay, and our
family is complete again We were
mighty glad to see them again.
The new proprietor of the Caney
Daily Chronicle had the following
TO say in regard to his predecessors:
''Mr. and Mrs. T. b. Lindsay leave
at ten tomorrow for their home in
Idaho. They have been here two
months, brought back by the neces-
sity of protecting their business in
terests here. This time they have!
burned the bridges behind them and
when they next return it will be
solely to visit their friends, which
seems to include practically all the
people of Caney. We have never fol
lowed a predecessor so universally
popular as Tom, nor one who had a
better newspaper team-mate than
Mrs. Lindsay has been to him. We
hope that Caney people will not hold
1t aginst the new folks for making |
It possible for the Lindsays to get
back to their Idaho business. For
rom assures us that had it not been
is it would have been somebody else.
they have very prosperous business
n the west, and we are sure all
will wish them success. No man
ould have been fairer or more
ourtious to a successor than Tom
las been to the writer, and we con-
ider that we, too, are losing some
f our best friends when these good
eople say goodbye"
Beginning next Monday the entire
republican force will be back on
he job, prepared to do their best
} further the best interests of
fountain Home and it's surround

IRRIGATION
WATER WAS
MEASURED
Not Much Storage in Long
Tom or Mountain Home
Reservoirs

On Saturday, April IA, 1928, the
management of the irrigation comp
any made an investigation of the
water supply of the Rattlesnake and
Canyon creek water shed upon which
the water users of the ElmOre Co.,
Irrigated Farms Association depend
for their water supply as well as
those parties having creek rights
on these streams. They were ac-
companied by Mr.. A. " TalIman,
water master of the Boise River and
Mr.. E. B. Darlington, formerly chief
engineer of the North Side Twin Falls
tract
It was found that there was on
the above date in storage in the
Mountain Home, or Rattlesnake,
Reservoir and Long Tom Reservoir,
24OO acre feet of water from the run
off of the above streams. Arrange
ments were made to keep an accur-
ate measurement of the further run
off of this drainage during the sea-
son of 1928 in order to determine
the water supply available for the
water users under the Blmore Farms
system together with the creek
rights. Irrigation season under the
Elmore Farms system commences
April 18th annually.
Camas canal was opened on the
ith day of April and was delivering
IN the 14th instant SO acre feet per
lay into Long Tom drainage. Camas
had on the above date
about 5000 acre feet in storage
md considerable run off will be add
d to this supply.
Geo. A. Smith has been appointed
water master on Canyon creek by

DEVELOPMENT
IN THEANERICAN
FALLS PROJECT
Why More Bonds May be
Authorized Than Will
Be Sold

Pocatello, Idaho.-The fact that
the directors of the American Falls
reservoir district authorized a vote
on an issue of S2,7OO,OO of bonds on
May 9th does not mean that amount
win be actually sold, according to a
statement by Guy Flenner, managing
director of the Idaho Reclamation
association, which carried on the long
campaign to organize the district and
which is exerting its influence and
lending its services to put over the
bond issue.
The first reservoir unit will un-
doubtedly be 10000 acre feet said
this statement" but at this time the
contracting parties, including the big
district and the U. S. government
have signed up for only 800, 900 acre
feet. Others to come in, including we
expect, the Blackfoot system, the
Snake river valley irrigation district,
The Greater Fort Hail. including the
Bancroft, of Empire district, will
bring the total up to the largest unit
This will reduce the acre foot charge
and the amount of bonds to be actu-
ally sold for the big district be pro-
portionately reduced.
1T was necessary legally to state
in the contract with the U. S. govern

ably signed up at this time and to

up in the call for election with that

LEGION AUXILIARY
PLAY GREAT SUCCESS

The three act farce comedy, "A
Poor Married Man" which was pre-
sented by the members of the Ameri-
can Legion and the Auxiliary Fri
day evening, was a success in every
way. The story was of poor college
professor who had married young
girl after a very short romance, and
brought her with her mother TO his
home. His friends think he has been
married to the mother, and he thinks
all the stories they tell about her are
about his wife. Things go from bad
to worse, he divorces her, marries
another girl who has only a widowed
father, who returns from a visit to
Niagara Falls and brings his bride,
who proves to be this first mother-in
law. But things turned out all right
and everybody was happy.
r. w. Beckwith played the poor
married man; Oda Temple the moth
er-in-law; Edna Casey her charming
daughter; Frank Ottenheimer the
popular college boy; Harry Isaac the
colored servant; Frank Hendricks
the country doctor, and Amy Black
his daughter; and Esther Longfellow
was the charming college reporter.
The parts were all well taken by
the cast, and they played to a packed
house who were very enthusiastic
over the comedy
