ANNUAL ROSE FESTIVAL

Portland, Oregon is featured in
The Union Pacific Magazine, which
was issued today. Portland will cele-
brate it's annual Rose Festival on
June 70, 13 and IA. o. c. Bortz-
meyers story, "Portland's Rose
Festival" tells of the selection of a
queen who will reign over the festi-
val, attended by twenty princesses
from various cities of the state. In
vitations to be guests of the city

tended to President Harding and AS
sistant Secretary of the Navy, Roose-

COWS MAKE MONEY
FOR w. F. BELL

eff it's a money maker for me
why not for the rest of them?" was
the way w. F. Bell from the Hope
well district put it, when speaking
of the dairy business as a profitable
industry. And this certainly
sounds like right convincing logic.
Mr.. Bell says his check from the
cheese factory for two weeks ending
April 18th, was $40.16. from eight
mixers, one of which he has since
turned dry. Two cows recently add
ed to his herd he was told tested
90 and SO.
AS an evidence of what people
in his neighborhood thought of the
business, and what they are doing
alng that line, he called attention
to the fact, that in addition to caring
for his own COWS, he delivers daily
at the Rupert factory between 100
and 1900 pounds of milk for his
neighbors. He gave it as his
opinion that the cheese factory is
one of the best institutions for the
rancher ever located in this COM
munity.-Rupert News.

FIERY CROSS
ANNOUNCES KLAN
Emblem of the Order Lights the Sky
Near the City-Fire Depart
ment Makes Run

Citizens of Mountain Home who
happened to be up at about 1880
Tuesday night had an opportunity
to get a good look at the fiery cross,
the emblem of the Ku Klux Klan.
No demonstration of any sort ac-
companied the lighting of the cross,
which had been erected south of the
city near the power station.
1t was about 1920 o'clock when
someone in town noticed the light
from the blazing emblem, and the
word of what was taking place
seemed to spread rapidly. Someone
turned in an alarm of fire, and the
siren aroused the people who were
in bed, enabling them to see the
cross before it had been burned out.
The emblem had been constructed
of lumber, which was covered with
cloth This was saturated with
kersene or gasoline and lighted. 1t
burned brightly for several minutes
before the inflammables were con-
sumed.
Inasmuch as no warnings of any
kind accompanied the burning of
the cross, it is presumed the exhibit
tion was planned for the purpose of
announcing the presence of the Klan
in Mountain Home, or at least in
this vicinity.

NO LIONS CLUB
TO BE ORGANIZED

Ernest Ludlow of Ishpeming,
Michigan spent several days in this
city last week in the interests of the
Lions Club organization. Shortly
after landing in town, Mr. Ludlow
met an old boyhood pal in the person
of Tom Trathen, and the two had
a great talkfest, talking over old
times and swapping experiences.
Mr.. Ludlow is the Tenth district
governor for the Lions Club, and in
asmuch as Idaho has, as yet, no cities
represented, he is desirous of organ
izing the state. The business men
who have been approached in regard
TO the organization of Lions Club
in Mountain Home seem for the
most part to believe that the time
for this move is not ripe, and that
a better plan would be to reorganize
the Elmore Development League.
This matter will no doubt be taken
UP at once, as it is imperative that
our town and community should have
working organization without loss
Of time.
In this day and age the unorgan-
ized town is very likely to be over
looked.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON
STRIKES RESPONSIVE CHORD

The Baccalaureate sermon, deliy-
cred to the class of '2S of Mountain
Home High School Sunday evening
by the Rev. Tom Blodgett at the Con-
gregational church, struck respon-
sive chord in the hearts and minds
of the graduates, as well as the large
audience which heard the address.
Mr.. Blodgett dealt with his sub
iect in his usual mastery manner.
He had his auditors with him for the
reason that one felt that he was with
them. and that his heart was in his
words.
The class of '23 cannot but be
helped by the words of admonition
which fell from Mr. Blodgett's lips.

MOUNTAIN HOME
To CELEBRATE THE
GLORIOUS FOURTH
Will Have Two Days of Old
Time Joy
RACES GALORE;
BIG BARBECUE
Invitation Extended to ALI to Be the
Guests of City and Help Make
the Eagle Scream-Hope
for Indian Band

Indications now are that Noun
tain Home will put on a two-day
Fourth of July celebration that will
bring back the old times. While a
definite program has not been form
ulated as yet, it is certain that
working committees will be put to
work in few days, and things will
then begin to hum.
The local lodge of Eagles must be
given the credit for starting the agi-
tation for a celebration. The boys
seem to be unanimously in favor of
the project, and in talks with var
ious business men of the city we
have yet to hear of anyone throwing
cold water on the plan.
The dates of the celebration will
probably be July and 5. The fes-
tivities will open on the morning
of Wednesday, and from then on
there will not be a dull moment.
Of course, there will be barbe
cue No real Fourth of July cele-
bration would be complete without
plenty of barbecued meat for all,
and the price will be nix. This fea-
ture will probably be carried out on
both days.
Then there will be races for the
kids, both boys and girls, fat men,
old men, young men, the ladies, tug
of war, baseball games, and other
enjoyable events too numerous to-
mention. 1t is certain that features
which are new to Mountain Home
will be introduced.
It is also planed to have free
dancing pavilion, with good music,
and band-well, we couldn't get
along without a band.
1t is hoped that it will be possible
to secure the band of the Duck Val
ley reservation for this occasion, and
that the Indians will be here in
force.
The committee which is now work
ing on the financial end of the cele-
bration has been out this week and
they have met with an almost unan-
imous welcome. The list now totals |
over $1,000 and is still growing.
This insures the success of the cell
ebration, and there will be a big time
on tap in Mountain Home July As.

MANY VISIT THE
BREAK IN FLUME

Many citizens of Mountain Home
drove up to Dixie basin Sunday tf
observe the progress being made in
repairing the damage caused by the
big slide two weeks previous.
The miners driving the tunnel are
making good headway, and up to
Thursday morning had gone into the
mountain over 100 feet.
Present indications are that the
water will be turned into the tunnel
week from this coming Saturday,
which would be June 2.
The cool and damp weather which
has obtained since the break oc-
curred has been a Godsend to the
ranchers, and 1t is now thought that
the usual crops will be raised here.

to fill the vacancy, and he was noti-
fled wednesday of their action. Mr..

help keep Mountain Homes schools
on the educational map.

GLORIOUS RAIN
CAUSES GLADNESS
Puts Water in Reservoirs and Gives
Fields Soaldng-Work Is
Progressing on Ditch

The farmers of central Idaho, AND
particularly those on the Mountain
Home tract, were gladdened Thurs
day night of last week by a copioui
fall of rain which amounted to .65
inch.
The rain started about 9 p. m. and
throughout the night 1t rained, and
rained hard.
On account of the water shortage
the rain was doubly welcome to our
ranehers. It was better than a good
irrigation as it watered everything,
and the gardens show the effect of
the copious moisture.
The reservoirs and water holes
over this section of the state were
replenished to a large degree, the
gulleys and draws being rushing
torrents in places.
The rainfall gives room for hope
that our ranchers may yet have the
usual amount of hay and this is as
sured if the flume break is repaired
without loss of time.
Reports from the flume break are
TO the effect that the miners are
about fifteen feet per day,
in three shifts. The tunnel
will not be cemented at present, as
It would require too much time, but
this will be done next fall after the
irrigation season is past.

FINE ARTESIAN
WATER ON THE
TURNER RANCH

W. L. Turner has some flowing
artesian wells on his ranch over in
the Grand View section which look
like million dollars to the observ-
er. Recently DR.. Evans, of this city,
took some snap shots Of the flowing
wells, and they show up in great
shape.
These wells seem to have an mex
haustible supply of water, one of
them having flowed twenty years
without intermission. The Grand
View region is particularly fortunate
in having accessible such supply of
water.

Fancy VeIUets, Crepes
Last Word in StyIe


The assembling of colors in fan
ey velvets surpasses anything at
tempted during former periods when
fancies were featured.
Metal faneies, too, now enjoy in
ternational prominence. First in
troduced decade or so ago by a
few manufacturers, and in a limit
ed way at that, the production of
metal fancies has become an inter
national industry. Weights have
undergone marked change. This
has been. made possible by the use
of fine metal yarns, thus making
possible the wvaving of lightweight
fabrics which lend themselves to
the will of the dressmaker.
No report of the silk industry is
complete without reference to the
strong position held by satin erepes
and satin Cantons. In the face of
all the glitter and show of the fan
openings held by famous dressmak
ers of the French capital, where
wool, worsted and silk fabrics made
for such occasions were freely of
fered, crepe weaves were the foun-
dation of the volume business.

STATE. WILL AID
IN WARFARE ON
NOXIOUS WEEDS
Harrigan, Back From
Sacramento, Elated
Over Results

Following conference with
George II. Hecke, state director of
agriculture and r. n. Wilson, secre-
tary of the legislative committee on
agriculture at Sacramento last
week, b. A. Harrigan, horticulture
al commissioner stated this morning
that the state officials have given
assurance of complete cooperation
with the local office in eradicating
the camel thorn weed
The state department has agreed
to send an inspector to Riverside
and Imperial counties to superin-
tend the work of eradicating the
camel thorn. Where the land is be-
ing cultivated, the cost of remov-
ing the weed will be borne by the
owner. In cases where the infested
land is not productive, the weed
will be removed at the expense of
the county, and an effort will be
made to have bill passed at the
next legislature to reimburse the
county for this expense.
The commissioner estimates there
are II infested spots in Imperial
county, covering 40 acres and
similar acreage in Riverside county
though only two infestations have
been located there.
Harrigan stated this morning he
was extremely gratified with the
efforts of the state commissioner
in cooperating with his department
in its warfare on noxious weeds.
