wife who spent much time with the
boys training them their songs and
yells, also teaching many boys each
day for an hour, subjects in which
they were short of the required num-

as leader had charge of the camp

the doctor being called back to New

being Mr. Heulle's first experience

young men,.
Mr.. Nodine announces that he will
be open for the hunting season which
started October 18th and will run re-

A Racc0On Capture

(Mrs. Esther NJ. Luce, New Portland)
A recent capture of three good sized
raccoons was feat performed by
Charles Sweat. L. l.. Dyer and "Reu-
ben" coon-dog of Mr.. Dyer's. The
men were on the track of said 'coons
when Reuben materially assisted in
their capture by freeing the animals
from which place they were then cap
tured by the hunters. Reuben came
here from the south few years ago
and with his mate were purchased by
Mr. Dyer.
Three other coons have also been
captured by Reuben this year, on the
Weimer farm. Mr.. Weimer was the
former owner of the dog.

Helping the Traveller

Road signs are "a boon to any trav-
eler. The motorist who has visited
California remembers its roads and
the ease with which the comparative
stranger can find his way.
Caldwell civic organizations con-
ferred a real service on those who
travel Canyon county highways when
they put conspicuous and attractive
road signs on 1870 miles OF roads lead
ing to Caldwell. Cooperative effort
did it. The same force can accom-
plish much for the community.
For those who actually did the work
the day was little more than lark, an
enjoyable outing. As is usually true.
the real problem was one OF prepar-
alton rather than accomplishment.

Be Eligible

Three tickets in the field and the
moving picture issue once more to be
voted upon should bring out the heav-
lest vote ever cast at a municipal
election in Caldwell. All that remains
it seems, TO make the election a record
smasher. is complete registration.
Despite warnings and appeals and lots
of publicity. registration does not seem
to be progressing rapidly Many Cald-
well citizens. if they are not careful
will wake up on election morning to
discover that they cannot cast a vote.
Better register right now and be sure.

Eyes on the West.

One OF the inevitable results OF ths
appeal for relief that has deluged
Washington in the past few years
from western reclamation projects has
been a growing suspicion that perhaps
federal investment in irrigation has not
been wise.
At least. Washington's eyes are on
the west. That is the reason that ID.
w. Davis. former governor OF Idaho
and now assistant secretary Of the in
terror. is shortly TO officially investi-
gate western projects. As an Idahoan
and as the former president of the
Western States Reclamation associa-
ton, Mr.. Davis will see the western
states through friendly eyes. He will
be looking for ways that Uncle Sam
may help and not for an opportunity
10 criticize.
But the fact remains that Washing |
ton is far from sold on the idea of
arid lands reclamation today. No mi |
nor detail is permitted to escape the
observation OF friends and foes alike i
of reclamation.
Only recently potatoes. after months
of inactivity. suddenly awakened and
promised prices that would rehabili-
tate the industry in the west Imme-
diately from Washington comes this
indication of the interest that the ma
tons capital takes in even such fur
ries as the rise in the potato market
finally proved itself to be:
A sudden rise in the price of
potatoes from fifty cents to sl.00
a bushel has proved a boon 10
farmers on western reclamation
projects, according to information {
received by the Department of the
Interior. Most of the potato
growers in these sections were
obliged to store their potatoes last
year on account of the market be-
ing below the cos. of production |

But once the interest was aroused.

time in many years that Caldwell has

to Nampa even at that. The Junction
City has five citizens who view the
chief executive position in that city
as a job greatly to be desired

More Votes For Movies

According to the version OF som,
supporters of the S. Ben Dunlap tick.
ct. this ticket was filed primarily tc
insure sharp contest that a heavy
vote might be cast on the moving
picture issue.
On its surface. that argument seems
rather far fetched. These self same
supporters are opposed to Sunday
pictures. regardless OF the complexion
OF the ticket and the wide open" at
titude OF the individual who prophesi-
ed, prodded and prompted the nomin-
alton OF this ticket.
Churches. naturally. are opposed to
Sunday pictures. Hence. it is perhaps
not far amiss to call this latest en-
trant into the city political field a
church icket.
One would naturally presume tina,
possessing the organization that il
does possess. the anti-moving picture
show forces might fare better on this
issue alone with an uncontested CITY !
election than can the unorpanized |
disjointed sentiment which might he |
expressed for the Sunday shows The

larger the vote, the more likelv SIM
