RECOGNITION ACCORDED AN IDA.
HO DEVELOPER

Boise, Idaho, October II - The
Weekly Press Bulletin, issued by the
Porte Publishing Co., Salt Lake,
whose head, R. T. Porte, is a lead
ing factor in the Utah Press associa-
tion, in its latest issue contains the
following:
''The Bulletin notes with interest
and pride that Guy Flenner, secre-
tary of the Idaho Press association,
is gaining recognition for his bril-
liant handling of the most gigantic
undertaking in the history of recla-
nation in the west-the American
Falls, Idaho, reservoir project.
"Mr Flenner is managing direc-
tor of the Idaho Reclamation associa-
tion, which set in motion the pom
derous machinery for furthering the
project.
ITO make room for the largest ir-
rigation storage dam and reservoir
in the United States-probably in the
world-the entire town of American
Falls will be moved to higher ground,
an audacious and stupendous UNDER
taking.
Mr.. Flenner has for years been
actively at work in behalf of the
publishers of Idaho and is one of the
most popular men in the Gem State.

WEST SPENDING
ITS OWN MONEY

State Reclamation Commissioner
Warren G.. Swendsen gives some cold
facts In response to recent published
statements of southern politicians
that the west had "failed dismally'
in its reclamation program and that
it would not cooperate in draining
southern swamp lands.
1T should be remembered" said
Commissioner Swendsen, that Of the
$14O,0O0,000 spent in the west by
the federal government for reclama-
tion that more than $120,00O,000
have been derived from the sale Of
western timber lands. This did not
come from the u. S. Treasury and
the south contributed nothing to IT,
It seems TO me that since these prop
critics are owned by the government
that the revenue derived therefrom
should be returned to the benefit and
of the western states.
"The west has contributed millions
Of dollars for the draining of swamp
lands I'm the south during previous
and the western rep
are willing to still aid
that section to my personal know
ledge. The Smith-McNary bill will
be pushed harder by the western
men when demand for agricultural
expansion in the west and the coun-
-ry's agricultural sections in general
demands additional farming territory
The present slump in farm produce
has had most to do with the slump in
the demands of all congressman in
he increase of government reclama-
lon projects"

School Building Nears Completion

The high school building is near
ing completion but it will probably
be 60 days yet before any part of it
is occupied. 1t is a most imposing
building and a credit to the commun-
ity but in the opinion of many could
have looked very much better had
it been located in some more suit
able spot than behind the old school
buildings. However, we are glad
to know that we are now assured of
better accommodations for our teach
ers and young people. The popula-
tion of young folks is increasing so
rapidly that even with this new
building it will only be a question of
a short time before even larger quar-
ters will be needed to care for the
many children attending our school.
That speaks we'll for our village and
we are all proud of the fact that af-
ter years of controversy we have at
last created a building which will
mean much to the coming genera
tions, who are to carry on where we
leave off.

Fatal Accident Mars Bru-
neau Roundup
AVIATOR HURT
BUT RECEIVERS
Hundreds of People Witness the Ac-
cident Which Takes Joy Out of
Second Days Festivities
Death Instantaneous

Many Mountain Home people, who
had gone to the Bruneau roundup
Friday of last week for a good time.
were unwilling witnesses of sad
accident in which Mrs. Hazel Still
linger of Glenns Ferry lost her life.
The woman was instantly killed
in the afternoon about 4 o'clock
when an airplane in whcih she was
passenger fell into a nose dive and
dropped 500 feet to the ground in
front of the grand stand at the
roundup arena, about mile from
town. Don Jokisch, the pilot, said to
be former service man, was knocked
unconscious but was not seriously in
iured. No other persons were in the
plane.
More than 200 persons, who we're
spectators at the roundup, saw the
fatal accident
According to Joldsch, a propeller
wire failed just as he was rising
from the ground All efforts to vol
plane to a safe landing were futile.
When the plane had come to land
ing after its last trip, a man whose
name Is unknown to spectators,
started TO climb into the fusilage for
his trip. When he learned that Mrs.
Stllinger held a ticket and wished to
90 next, he withdrew in her favor
and allowed her to go on the flight
from which she never returned alive
When the plane crashed to the
ground Mrs. Stillinger was crushed
by the heavy engine, which broke
from its fastenings and tore through
the fusilage to the front seat, where
she was sitting. Her head and chest
we're crushed She was dead when
taken from the wreckage.
The pilot was behind the woman.
When he was unstrapped and taken
from the demolished plane, he was
unconscious, but was revived in
few moments and was able to give
an account OF the accident.
The large two-seater was demol-
ished but did not catch fire.
Mrs. Stillinger, who is said to have
lived on a ranch near Glenns Ferry.
was accompanied to Bruneau Thurs
day by Port Heddon, also of Glenns
Ferry.
Mrs, Stillinger was the wife of
Ernest f. Jacobs OF Boise. They had
been estranged for several years and
she had filed suit for divorce. Pend
Ing the outcome of the suit, she had
taken her family name of Stillinger.
The body OF the woman was
brought to the McBratney-Zacher
undertaking parlors at Mountain
Home, where II was held pending ar
rangements for the funeral.
Mrs. Bessie Sillinger, of Boise,
4 sister-in-law of the dead woman.
went Immediately to Mountain Home
when she learned OF the accident.
Mrs. Eta Newell, mother Of the dead
lives in Stewart, b. c., and
has been notified, It was announced.
Jokisch came TO Bruneau from
Boise. He has been flying at fairs.
Little was known of him in aviation
circles at Boise.

FOR TANK PERMIT
Wants Board to Waive Re
striction Ordinance
H. S. BUILDING
NEARS COMPLETION
New Headquarters for Council =
Dancing Club Is Organized =
Mask Ball for Halloween
Other Ferry Items
Glenns Ferry.

The Continental Oil Co. represen-
tative. Mr.. Hurd, appeared before
the Village Dads Thursday last week
to support a petition made by them
to erect a storgae tank in block "a
Just east of the depot. Petitions for
and against granting this permit
were presented by citizens. All ex-
pressed a desire to see the company
come into Glenns Ferry but opposi-
tion was made to the location as an
ordinance relative to such industries
and restricting the district in which
same could be located is already in
force. The board was divided on
the question and after long and
truly exciting debate the petition
was left over for further considera-
tion to give the absent members OF
the Council a chance to express an
opinion before any definite decision
was reached. The Gem Oil Co. al
ready located here two years ago and
at the time was forced to enter the
district set forth by the ordinance
but the Continental Oil Co. are anx-
ious to have this changed to allow
them to locate in the warehouse"
district and the one location at this
time where suitable lots can be pur-
chased at a reasonable price. The
fire underwriters sent schedule Of
rates for adjacent property, which
proved that no increase of insurance
would be required of property owners
adjacent to such tanks. On the other
hand those opposed claimed that it
would ruin their chance of disposing
of their property and would tend to
lower the value of surrounding prop
erty, which in the opinion of many
has already SCARED away beyond all
reason in price. Besides they say,
"Who wants to live and sleep day by
day, year in and year out, with a
tank containing thousands of gal
Ions of gasoline at ones back door
expecting every moment to be blown
to Kindom Conner" Yes, we agree
there might be a chance of an ex-
plosion but this we also know, that
it could not cause more noise or COM |
motion than the petitions for and
against when presented to the
Village Board Thursday last, and the |
from that explosion are
still heard on every side.

FIRE MARS THE
BAPTIST CHURCH

The fire department was called out
about 9 o'clock last Sunday morning
to cope with a stubborn fire which
had obtained considerable headway
in the basement of the Baptist
hurch Owing to the smoke which
filled the basement, it was only af-
ler several hours of hard work that
ne blaze was gotten under control.
The damage to the building was
onfined principally to the basement,
aud the school desks and chairs in
this part of the building were charred
md scorched.
The fire was caused by a detective
flue, 1t is believed, as the furnace
had been fired up Sunday morning
IN preparation for the first service
under the auspices of the new pastor,
the Rev Mr.. Taylor.
II is figured that the damage will
amount to about $4,000.
