JOE BONECHER A
BEAR FOR DUCKS

A party consisting of A. L. Roller.
Earl Roller, Walter Bonney, Joe
Bonecher and Mr.. Seloff spent sew
eral days in the Picabo section last
week hunting and fishing. While
the number of trout caught was
small, they we're all grand-dads in
size. The party had hard time in
getting Joe Bonecher to let up on
the ducks and start for home. The
bunch say that Joe bagged twenty
one He also shot what the party
claimed was a young goat, but Joe
says it was a snowshoe rabbit.
On the way home the driver of
the car got lost in Shoshone, and it
took a half hour to get out of town.
The party enjoyed the trip and
some members figure on going over
again before the season gets late.

SEWER CLOUDS
STILL BANKING
Majority at Ferry Seem to Be Ger
ninst"- of General
Interest to All
Glenns Ferry.

Sewer clouds are rolling UP from
the north, south, east and west, and
we predict that the storm will burst
forth in all its fury on or about next
Thursday evening, Nov. %, when the
board of trustees of the village meet
to consider protests. According to
gossip, the Nos are in by far the
majority and will overwhelm the
Yeas at the sound of the gong
that is, of course, provided the board
is not blind in one eye and can't see
out of the other, and exercises its
right by a four-fifths majority to
proceed with the sewer anyhow. Over
200 taxpayers and property owners
have, we understand, already signed
protest asking that the board lay
the whole matter of the sewer on one
side and that no such improvement
be made at this time.

W. Faubion Seriously Hurt

w. Faubion, who was seriously in
jured Thursday last week, by fall
from the wagon in which he was re-
moving a load of bricks from behind
the Pioneer Meat Market building,
was taken to Boise and is in st.
J. .ESuke's. A recent report from there
states that he has three fractures in
one shoulder and three ribs broken
besides being badly bruised. At the
time of writing this note he was
resting easily and expected to have
his shoulder put in plaster cast
just as soon as the swelling goes
down. Mrs. Faubion is with him.

Make 1t An Ordinance

At the request of certain business
men the Mayor and council issued
a notice last Thursday that Satur-
day, the 10th, be observed at a gener-
al holiday, but for some reason or
other no one observed said Saturday.
We would suggest to the board that
next time such a request is made
they make it an ordinance with pen
atty attached for violation, and force
the ordinance to its limit in the case
of such petitioners violating it.. The
bank and postoff1ce observed Monday
as Armistice Day and were closed
all day.

FRANK ENGLEHART'S
BARN DESTROYED

A small shed barn belonging to
Frank Englehart, located in the
south part of town, burned Monday
evening about $3.50 o'clock. The
structure was beyond saving before
the alarm was turned in, although
the fire boys made their usual quick
run to the scene.
1t is reported that the barn had
been used by small boys of the city
as smoking parlor, and 1t is be-
lieved that a carelessly thrown
butt" caused the blaze.

COMMISSION TO
VISIT GRAND VIEW

The members of the state utilities
commission will meet with the resi-
dents of the Grand View section
Saturday afternoon of this week at
2 o'clock at Grand view.
The purpose of the meeting is to
go into the matter Of authorizing
the M. S. T. & T. Co. to establish
phone service in that section in con-
junction with the Bruneau valley.
1t is said that some time ago the
commission asked the company for
an estimate as to the cost of INSTALL
ing this service, so that the body
could ascertain how much revenue
would be needed to insure sufficient
return to the Bell company, but the
figures so far have not been submit
ted.
1t is undoubtedly fact that phone
service to the Grand View and Bru-
neau neighborhoods is greatly
needed. 1t would mean much to the
business men Of Mountain Home to
have ready access to the many farms,
ranches and businesses flourishing
there, and we should do all in our
power to secure this convenience.
OF course no thinking man expects
the phone company to enter on los
ing venture, but we venture to pre-
dict that when a survey Of the situa-
tion is made that the installation Of
phone service to Grand View and
Bruneau will be found to be feasible.

HENRY FITzWATER
PASSES TO REST
Good Man Goes Down Western Trail
Leaving Many Friends to
Mourn His Departure

Henry Fitzwater left this life at
early morn, Saturday Nov. 10, 1928,
after an illness OF one week, but a
short step from earthly work to
eternal rest.
Born in Maryland 70 years ago,
April IS, he lacked only s months
and days of four-soore years, an
aged man full of years and good
deeds.
The deceased had been a worthy
and useful citizen of Mountain Home
for IL years, having come from the
Willamette Valley, oregon, where he
had lived 2S years.
Ten years ago, Mr.. Fitzwater took
to wife, Mrs. Francis R. Morris of
this city on Nov. 15, 1913, the same
month of this parting. He had been
a most tender and devoted husband,
always saying goodbye, however
short his absence from home. One
secret of the happy home life is the
sentiment of a motto which hangs
on the wall of the living room:
"Christ is the Head of this House,
The Unseen guest at every meal,
The silent Listener to every conver-
sation."
Henry Fitzwater was one in a fam
lily of IL children. He is survived by
two brothers, Isaac Fitzwater of
Glenns Ferry, Idaho, and the other
brother in Maryland, and one sister
in West Virginia, Mrs. Martha Nine.
Mr.. Fitzwater was the friend of
little children. He stopped to greet
them in their play; they followed
him on the sidewalk, he gave them
rides in his wheel1barrow. In his
death they are saddened by their loss
and bring flowers as the language
Of their love. A bouquet of white
was brought by
two young children.
A member of the religious body
known as the Church of God this
sanity man was indeed man of
God. His prayer life was daily, most
earnest, and most sincere. The Bible
was TO him the Word OF God and
next to that was his religious church
PAPER, the Gospel Trumpet" Nat
lrally the closing of his earthly life

dason read the 23rd Psalm and
pening verses of John IA, and gave
short biographical sketch Of the
lie of the deceased.
A quartet, Mrs. Briegleb, Mrs.
'raden, Rev. Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. No
ell, with Mrs. Stewart organist,
ang two hymns selected by request,

ime Wen Understand" also "Abide
With Me" and MY Faith LOOKS UP
, Thee"
The beautiful flowers were abund-
Mt with their language of sym
athy.
Relatives and friends from out
{ town were Isaac Fitzwater, and
aughter, Margaret, Mrs. d. w. Fitz-
ater, Mr.. and Mrs. james Purtill,
i from Glenns Ferry. From Boise,

many deer hunters this season, and
it is estimated that at least seventy

the hunters have taken advantage of
this fact.
Bennett Mountain also furnished
more game for the hunters than in
former years. and several Mountain
Home hunters secured their meat
in that neighborhood.

FOR PREPAREDNESS
Says Military History of United

Appalling.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3l.-The
military history of the United States
was characterized as "disgTaceful'
and appalling" by Rear Admiral Will

before the Commonwealth Club here
Unnecessary sacrifices Of blood and
treasure as the result of unprepared-

cannot be proud, he said.
Admiral Sims said there was great
need for submarines and airplanes as
a first line of national defense, and
urged establishment of naval bases In
mid-Pacific, especially at Guam. He
criticized the Navy Department se-
verely for it's conduct in the last war,
asserting that attempts were made to
handle from Washington situations
nearer the scene of hostilities.
Speaking before the English speak
