cap on entering the hall. it is knocked
off of him. If he opens his mouth
during Scripture reading, he does it
only once.
Dramatic moments attended the
last meeting, the army revealed to-
day.
Miss Justice had announced that
it would be testimonial meeting. The
first boy didn't just get the idea. Hest
tating and shuffling his feet, he an

RELATIONSHIPS
6,371.7 ACRES

Boise, Idaho, October "a. - State
Reclamation Commissioner Warren
G. Swendsen has just completed
piece of cleanup work which
will mean much for the state
of Idaho. He recently relinquished
back to the federal government
6,371.7 acres of land set aside
in 1910 for a Carey act project
known as the Thousand Springs Land
and Irrigation Company in Custer
County which has never been ma
terialized. The statutory time for
furnishing the water supply has been
exhausted; the company admits its
inability to complete the project and
water available may be used to bet
ter advantage on other tracts.
1t is the policy of the federal gov
eminent to open such tracts to home
stead entry and it is the opinion of
Commissioner Swendsen that war
veterans will be given the first OPP
portunity in this connection.
This REIMBURSEMENT is type of
the work of the Reclamation depart
ment in cleaning up old projects and
either getting them in shape for en-
try and actual use or relinquishing
the land back to the government so
that it may be available for home
stead entry. Reclamation permits
are not issued without the most care
full investigation of the Reclamation
department as to water and the adj
visibility of such construction and
to the cost of maintenance.

With Tate and Slater farther on,
And after that the town
OF Boise with its crimes and sin,
Likewise its fair renown.
And Ger the wide extended land
The cattle roamed at will,
And horse trails lead to water holes
On mesas gray and still.
From Danskin Peak to Dixie Pass
And down to Fiddler's Green;
And all the blue and bonny wales
And valleys stretched between.
Where Mountain Home sits like /;
gem
Among her poplar trees;
And birds make nest and give Their
songs
Unto the balmy breeze,
There once was but a ryegrass waste
A wide and blistered plain,
Where satyrs danced and devils
leered,
And dragons howled in pain.
And in those days of gun and gold
From Kelton on the south,
John HALEY ran a stage line through
The land of rainless drought.
And many bold and daring lad
Did climb upon the boot;
To drive the drunken, rolling stage,
And If need be to shoot.
For there were robbers in those days,
Who hid behind the rocks,
And over level pistol barrels,
Said, throw us out the box"
There was driver in those days
Oh, he was grit and more;
Plain Jackson was his final name,
His first was Commodore.
Now Commodore was pizen sure
When sober or when full;
And tough as rawhide taken from
The neck of Bashan's bull.
But he could trail the ribbons out
Upon the desert breeze:
Or kill a horsefly with his whip
On lead horse with ease.
Now Jackson was a nasty wolf,
And when he began to howl,
He raised the hair on man and beast,
The feathers on the fowl.
And when he matched him hilt to
hilt
In some wild border fuss
tbs said the Devil hung around
n Cd
For how that driver could blaspheme
To say it suits me not;
His Oaths were fried ''straight-up'
or turned,
And always blazing hot.
Now Jackson saw the ryegrass flat
Where Mountain Home is now,
And had a dream which troubled
him,
And clouded much his brow
rhe Desert Act" was then in force
And so he settled down,
Not dreaming that the ryegrass flat |
Sometime would know a town.

The Short Line made its way
From Granger down the winding |
Snake
Along the desert gray.

We're the first to appear,

Conveniently near.
The next was Fishers blacksmith

Oh, mine was many a tear,
70 think how oft he dropped his
rasp
To get a glass of beer.
It nine he pared a horses foot;
At eve he set a shoe;
Text day he pared another foot,
And so the whole week through.

Likewise six bales of hay.
