10 QUE NOS DIcEN CoNocIDA
PERSONALS DE MoRovIS

Hemos entrevistado a algunas per
sonas respetables, enteradas de los
asuntos ocurridos en- Morovis Y nos in
formaron que ell estado de aquel1a CO
munidad era alarmante. Los informes
que hemos recibido proceden de per-
sonas afiliadas a los diversos partidos
politicos de Puerto Rico, por 10 que
podemos asegurar que todo 10 que de-
cimos es un refejo exacto de 10 suce-
dido Morovis es uno de los pueblos
de Puerto Rico que nunca ,ha realiza-
do ning1n acto hostil contra ningdn
individuo del cuerpo de la Pollcla IN
sular. Y es de lamentarse que la intem-
perancia del cabo V6lez Lopez haya
dado margen estos graves sucesos
que perjudicsn la cultura de Puerto
Rico eI buen nombre y dignidad del
,cuerpo a que pertenece Nuestros lee
torres recordaran que este mismo cabo
Velez fue ell protagonista de los -suce-
SOS de Aguadilla y que tan vaiiente-
mente denunciara ell icenciado j. Vail
dejun Rodriguez. Este policia fue ell
que macane6 al sefior Demetrio Qui-
fiones. Es hora va de que en- Puerto
Rico, los encargados de dirigir el Co
bierno Sc cuiden de que todos los ele-
mentos que integrari la policia, que son
los que mas contacto directo t1enen
con rMestras multitudes, sean perso-
mas de caracter apacible. Asi Sc evita
rian estos sucesos sangrientos, que po-
nen en- tela de juicio su cultura. Somos
amigos de los buenos policfas, pero con-
denamos todo acto que tienda perju-
dicar al pueblo Puerto Rico. Mo-
rows no estaba nj esta en- estado de
huelga. Els un pueblo pacifco. Els un
pueblo culto. Esperamos puess que
Morovis Sc lie haga justicia, Y que
re castigue al culpable de estos hechos.

REBEKAH SISTERS
GIVE PARTY FOR
THREE MEMBERS

Thursday evening the Rebekaf
lodge met in regular session, and
transacted business coming before It,
Kathleen Colthorp was appointed to
meet with the members who are pre-
pairing the Decoration Day program.
A day or so before the regular ses-
sion, Mrs. Fountain, as chairman OF
the refreshment committee notified
other members, Mrs. ]. c. Barrett
and Oda Temple, that she was going
away and that they would postpone
the refreshments for this meeting,
which was agreeable to the other
two, thinking what surprise the
lodge would have at the social hour,
when no refreshments would be
served.
The business of the lodge was gone
through in a hurried manner, the
noble grand, Oda Temple, having an
appointment at nine O'Clock and the
vice grand also having an appoint
ment at that hour, but before they
made their escape, Mrs. Mary Smith
notified the lodge to please remain,
there was a surprise for three of the
members who will soon leave, being
the Noble Grand, the Vice-grand and
Mrs. Lenora Corder.
Cards were enjoyed, and a sump-
tuous banquet lunch, consisting of
pressed chicken, pickles, hot rolls,
butter, and the most delicious fruit
and nut salad. ice cream and several
kinds of cake and coffee. Each of
the honor guests were given a cor
sage bouquet of garden flowers. The
lunch was served on the card tables.
It was a delightful party, well
planned and carried out, and with
nut the knowledge of the three who
we're surprised beyond words. But
hey are to be on the serving commit
zee for the next meeting and have
planned a surprise for the sisters.

EAGLES STRONG
FOR JULY FOURTH
CELEBRATION

AT the regular meeting of the To-
cal lodge of Eagles Wednesday even
ing the matter of an old time Fourth
of July celebration was broached and
the idea took right away.
The Eagles are letting it be known
that they are solidly behind this plan
and will feel out all of our business
met to find out just how much they
are in favor of this celebration.
Tentative plans for monster two
day celebration which will bring the
people to Mountain Home from far
and near have been discussed. The
idea has found great favor with the
business men who have already been
approached, and there is no doubt
that it can be made a great success.
One feature which will absolutely
be a part of the celebration will be
a big barbecue, absolutely free to all.
In fact the idea of the Eagles as
given to The Republican is that
everything is to be without money
and without price.
There is no doubt that all of the
organizations of the city of Mountain
Home will look on a celebration with
favor, and The Republican believes
that next week we will have some
thing definite to report.

afternoon at the court house, the old
organization of water users, known
as the Water Users Protective Asso-
citation, was revived, given dose of
pep, and is now a lusty, bowling
youngster.
The meeting was called by the
chairman, Clay Groefsema, by direc-

meeting was to hear the reading OF
the answer of the Bradys to the re-
quest of the committee for informa-
ton as to whether they desired to
dispose of their holdings here, and
what price they would expect to re-
ceive for same.
After the reading of the minutes
of the former meetings of the COM
mittee, the secretary, o. E. Noren,
read the answer of the Bradys, which
was to the effect that they did not
feel inclined to submit proposals un-
til the water users themselves had
some kind of am organization with
power to act for the users as whole.
They suggested that the users under
the two systems endeayor to get to-
gether.
1t was moved, seconded and car
ried that the Water Users Protective
Association be revived. The old con-
stitu- ion and bylaws were adopted,
and the organization proceeded to
elect officers, as follows:
President-Clay Groefsema.
-President-John w. Caldwell.
Secretary y-Treasurer-O. e. Norell.
Board of Directos-W. ]. Love,
John Bonecher, Dan Mclaughlin,
Tom Moore and R. ]. Kniefel.
A number of the water users made
hort talks during the meeting, but
10 definite policy for the organiza-
ion to pursue has as yet been
ormed
The board of directors of the wa
er users is meeting this Friday
vening at the office of o. E. Norell.

Townsite of American Falls and Ad-
joining Territory Will Be In
undated When Big Dam
Is Completed

BY vote OF almost 10 to 1 land
owners of the Snake River valley
voted Saturday to issue bonds in the
amount of $2,75O,OOO and thereby
insured the construction of the long
talked of American Falls dam, which
will cost in the neighborhood Of
$1O,000,000 and impound 1900, 600
acre feet of Snake river water.
The district comprises lands un-
der five established irrigation prof.
ects approximating 100000 acres
and including the original Twin
Falls and Northside Twin Falls prof.
ects. The district will purchase on
ly supplemental water rights in the
reservoir, which will impound a
much greater quantity to provide
supplemental rights for establishing
government reclamation projects
and for reclamation of additional
arid lands in southern Idaho.
Announcement of the election re-
suit was the signal for community
celebration in the course of which
there was raised by popular sub
scription more than $4,000 toward
a 100000 fund for purchase of ter
minals and right-of-way for rail-
road to connect Twin Falls with
trans-continental lines at Wells, Ne
yada, which the Union Pacific sys-
tenn Wednesday announced its pur-
pose to build.
Completion of the American Falls
reservoirs has been held in abeyance
by the reclamation service for al
most three years pending the work
ing out of a plan by which the es-
tablished irrigation projects might
meet their payments for impounded
water. Reclamation service repre-
sentatives have announced that there
is available for immediate expendi-
ture on the project federal funds
to $1,000,O0O and that
appropriations have been
made by congress for the undertake
ing.
The reservoir will inundate 49,
700 acres including the entire town

'emoved to higher ground.

ARE DISAPPOINTING

The Andelin-Clark entertainment,

as one of the bright spots in the life

kept the price of tickets at a reason
able price in hopes that everyone
might have the privilege of hearing
these musicians.
