NO BASS OR PERCH,
BUT A GOOD FEED

Tom and Fred Lindsay of The Re-
publican, accompanied by General d.
A. Utter, took a trip up to Little
Camas reservoir Friday of last week.
The jaunt was taken for the ayowed
purpose OF discovering If the lake
contained any bass or perch as had
been rumored. After diligent search
and due examination, we found that
the perch and bass were not among
those present, but the trout stood up
on their tails all over the lake, wig
gled their fins and dared us to catch
a few. We resisted the mad impulse,
however, but will get good and even
after June 1st. The water in Little
Camas lacked about five feet of being
up to the spillway, and full head
had been turned into the ditch.
While the party did not succeed
in catching any perch or bass, they
did enjoy a fine outdoor luncheon
and pleasant day.

DISTRICT MATTER
is HANGING FIRE
Many Favor Organization, While
Others Feel that Time Is
Not Ripe

The matter of the formation of an
irrigation district is hanging fire, so
to speak.
The committee appointed at the
meeting held in o. E. Norell's office
on Saturday of last week voted to
instruct their chairman. Clay Groef-
sema, to communicate with the Jas.
H. Brady Investment Co. and ascer-
tain, if possible, the terms upon
which the company would dispose of
their holdings in the transportation
system, but the position taken by
the Bradys seems to be that they do
not care to go into this phase of the
matter until the water users them
selves have decided that they wish
to take over the project.
Some of the water users are very
much in favor of organizing an irri-
cation district, while others are of
the opinion that the time not not
ripe for this move.
1t is possible that mass meeting
of the water users may be called in
a short time to discuss the matter
fully.

Mining MATTERS

ACTIVITIES WILL
SOON BE STARTED
Many Valuable Properties Will Be
Developed This Season in
Upper Country

Matters pertaining to mining are
now coming in for their share of at
tention in the upper country, and
from now on much work will be per
formed by those holding valuable
properties.
T. j. McGinnis of ogden repre-
senting an eastern mining outfit, is
in Mountain Home in the interest of
mining properties in the Rocky Bar
country.
The Treasurer mine is reported as
having a fine five-foot vein of mill
run ore uncovered and win operate

further work.

ADDISON 7. SMITH
FOR RECLAMATION
Will Soon Be Able to Give Out News
Concerning Mountain Home
Irrigation Project

Recently The Republican wrote to
Addison T. Smith at Washington, re-
questing that he favor us with some
news in regard to reclamation prof.
ects, but more especially as it apper-
tanned to Mountain Home.
We received the following reply,
which indicates that our four-square
son is leaving no stone unturned to
further the interests of his state:
"Yours of the 21st has been re-
ceived and l will endeavor to send
you some news regarding the recla-
nation situation, especially as it af-
feets the Mountain Home project,
after comforting with the Secretary
of the Interior and the Director of
the Reclamation Service.
1--WE are somewhat handicapped in
undertaking new projects on account
of the fact that the settlers on the
various projects are in arrears about
$6,0OO,000 on their payments, and
construction work may be delayed
until they can get on their feet again
and meet their obligations. 1 feel
confident that the farmers are about
over the slump in prices and that
will soon be normal and
that the farmers will get back their
nerve and attitude of hopefulness.
81 have but recently returned from
a trip with a congressional party
the Southwest inspecting
reclamation projects, and after clear
ing up some departmental business
will turn my face Westward.
Looking forward with pleasure to
meeting you during the summer, |
I'm, Very truly yours,
ADDISON T. SMITH"

CANVAS PRAIRIE
GOOD FOR DAIRYING

Il being generally admitted that
Camas Prairie is by nature designed
for dairy purposes. II is only common
sense to do everything in our power
to develop what nature has provided.
And If Teton county can offer advan-
tages which will bring to her midst
a number of thrifty, Woodworking
families, who are able to purchase
land. provide their own cows and es-
tablish comfortable bank accounts,
why should not this community make
an effort along the same lines? 1t

zen, not only of the town, but coun-
ty, to assist. Fairfield Courier.

Mere man, as a factor in munici.

in Fairfield at Tuesdays election
For the next two years, when a com
munication is addressed to the Hon
orable Board of Trustees of the Viii
lage of Fairfield, it will be Dear
Madams."
And how about the men? Do they
view the loss of their erst-while po-
litical prerogatives with serene
equanimity? This great purveyor of
truth would be compelled to deviate
from it's established habit of printing
nothing but facts if it answered with
an unepuivocal affirmative. Some
of the dear creatures look as if they
had eaten a green persimmon, and
Others are wearing their chin down
against their lowest vest buttons,
looking like the last of the crack
Inns. If they feel one-half as bad as
they look, they ought to take some
thing for it.
The whyness of the matter was
thusly. No attention had been paid
to the election. No ticket had been
filed and no ballot provided. Only
fifteen were registered. On the morn
ing of election, some one suggested
that the women could and would
manifest as much interest, and as
a joke it was proposed to write in
the names of five women. Those
who were registered fell for the no
tion and the result was twelve votes
for the ladies, one complimentary
for the old board and two failed to
vote. And, having been elected, the
ladies will qualify and serve.
The good women who thus find
themselves at the head of the muni-
cipality are Mrs. Pearl Perkins, Mrs.
Marian Jesness, Mrs. Margaret
Mrs. Arvilla Haynie and Miss
Pearl Wylder. All are well qualified
since all have had business exper-
ience. The Courier predicts they
will make good.
