TRIM DAWSON 60
Local Hieh Played GAS Never
Before Beating the Visit
ing Team
. b. ALBERT OUTLER

They came they fought. thew
were defeated. SO might the tale
Of Yesterdays affair be told.
Flaying football as they had nev-
ar played before, the White and
Blue battered its way to a 60 VIC
tory over Dawson High school Fri
day afternoon on Playground field.
IN this, it upset all the "dope" and
also fully justified the faith which
Coach Mckee has so often express
ed.
The score itself apealls volumes,
for the game wa sd battle Out
weighed to a man, and doped to
lose, Americas fought with a de-
termination that couldn't be down
ed.
The outstanding star for Daw-
son was, without a debut, Jack"
Jones. He gained fully rs per cent
Of their total yarda9e, and display
ed some real football.
In selecting the star for Ameri
Gus, one is compelled to pick Capt
"Snag" Ansley His taclling was
assuredly of the first water, and
his running no less brilliant. But
this does not mean that he was
without co-stars of the same fiji t
magniture. Ray Ansley, Fred
Statham and Harry Barton also won
credit and honor. For once, the
line really found itself and did its
work more than well.
Americus' score came in the first
quarter Through consistent line
plunging and off-taclsle running she
took the bail to Dawson's one-yard
line, and there lost it on downs.
However, Weed blocked Dawson's
punt and Ansley recovered on the
five-yard line, from which it was
taken over in three downs.
Dawson threatened once in the
second qmater but lost the ball by
q tumble.
Americas made its last serious
effort to score in the first of the
last quarter, when it took the ball
to Dawson's two-foot line, only to
lose it on downs. The game ended
in mid-feld
Americas next game is in Daw-
son next Friday, Oct 20.

Lodges Celebrate Events

The local lodge of Masons and
Eastern Stars attended the evening
service at the First Methodist church
Sunday last, when the Rev. Hansen,
pastor, delivered a very inspiring
Washington and fraternal address.
The Church was crowded and special
music was rendered by the Methodist
choir appropriate for the occasion.
This Sunday the Knights of Pythias
and Pythian Sisters will attend di-
vine worship at the Episcopal church
in commemoration of the 60th ami
versary of the founding of the order,
when the Rev. A. L. Wood, will de-
liver the address. A hearty invita-
tion is extended to the Knights and
Pythian Sisters to come over from
Mountain Home for the occasion.
Rev. Wood was a member of the
Mountain Home lodge for a number
of years and received initiation in
that lodge, and he has asked us es-
pecially through these columns to
invite the members of Mountain
Home Lodges to come to Glenns Fer
ry for the service, which will COM
mence at 1880 p. m.

MASONS AND STARS
BANQUET AND DANCE

Masons and Eastern Stars of
Mountain Home and vicinity last
Friday evening joined in celebrating
Washington's birthday with ban
quet and dance in the lodge rooms.
About 130 sat down to bounteous
spread which had been prepared by
the ladies of the Eastern Star The
Divine invocation was beautifully
sung by Miss Emma Blunk and Mrs.
Dan Latimore.
Mrs. o. E. Cannon read a paper
which brought out the Masonic life
of the Father of his country, and
Mrs. Latimore read a humorous poem
describing how the Masons happened
to adopt the apron as the distin-
guished badge of Mason.
During the banquet an orchestra
consisting of Mrs 0ttenheimer, Lam
bert Cannon and Frank Farley rem
dered good music.
The floor was then cleared for
dancing and the lodge hall and card
room both were needed for the ac-
commodation of those who wished
to play Cards. The dancing contin-
ued until about / o'clock, and all
seemed to be having the time Of their
lives.

WATER USERS MEET
WITH SWENDSEN
Discuss Matters Pertaining to TAX
ing Over System = May Form
District at Early Day

Commissioner of Reclamation War
rem G. Swendsen and Attorney Ben
Oppenheim of Boise were in the city
Wednesday of this week, and met
with a number Of Cooperative water
users in the Office of 0. E. Norell in
the morning.
Mr.. Swendsen went into the status
of the Mountain Home water system
in thorough manner. Before form
ing the district, however, he advised
that the water users find out ex-
actly Just how much water was avail
able for the land. He favored TAX
ing measurements during the coming
summer, and believed that. man
should be secured for this purpose.
According to the incomplete figures
which the commissioner had on hand,
he believed that the average amount
of water which could be delivered to
the gates of the farmers was about
$4,000 acre feet, which he thought
sufficient to take care of 4,300 acres
Of land This, of course, was after
the amount to be delivered to the
rental rights of the Elmore Farms
users had been subtracted. He adj
mitted that some Of his figures were
largely guesswork, but he did not be-
lieve they would be very far off. The
commissioner said that the isolated
tracts should be pulled in, 50 that
the water loss would be small in the
distribution system. OF course be-
fore taking over the system it will
be necessary to form an irrigation
district, and Mr.. swendsen was of the
opinion that the ranchers should find
out just what they we're purchasing
before opening negotiations with the
company.
The ranchers as a whole were not
in the least backward in asking ques-
tions of the commissioner, and they
also discussed the problems of the
system without restraint.
Mr.. Swendsen went from here to
the eastern part of the state and will
meet with the water users again at
an early date.

FEDERAL OFFICERS
VISIT THE FERRY
Pick Up Still and Man Supposed to
Be Operator - Other
Newsy Items
Glenns Ferry.

Having a little time on Their hands
q couple of federal officers dropped
off in Glenns Ferry Friday to look US
over and they sure did it. They took
a little trip into the country and re-
turned with one of the best equipped
stills we have ever seen and a small
keg of moonshine, the owner OF
which he'd taken a hurried trip but
was, we understand, later discovered
and accompanied the officers back to
Boise to tell the judge how he came
into possession of that wonderful
piece of mechanism and the keg OF
fire water. One hundred and sixty
nine quarts were reported to have
been delivered "a hours earlier from
this distillery to thirsty coustomers.
Fact is, the proprietor of this distin7
cry seems to have been doing quite
a big business on the Q. T. and 1t is
probable would still have been in the
still business at the old stand still
had not some dissatisfied customer
squealed.

LOSING BOTH WAYS

There may really be times when
ignorance is bliss. Not long ago a
turkey that Travelled from a farm in
North Dakota to a mans table in
New Jersey carried with it little
bit of explanation that convinced the
man who ate the turkey tnat he lost
money when he bought it and the
producer lost money when he sold it.
Concealed within the turkeys inte-
rior was a tiny bottle from the North
Dakota farmer, containing the fol-
lowing message: Dear Friend:
sold this turkey for 22c a pound.
Please write me what you paid"
The purchaser had paid 66c
pound, or three times what the pro-
ducer got for it. Commission men,
transportation and retailers had eat
en- up the difference between 22e and
SEC, or 44c Somebody had gotten
more for the turkey than the man
who raised it, fed it and carried it
to market.
There is a lesson to be gained from
this, and that is that the sooner peo-
pie around Mountain Home with
something to sell learn that it can be
disposed of to the consumer direct
by parcel past the better they will
be off. People who buy turkeys,
eggs, chickens and a dozen other
things raised in rural communities
would rather buy direct. Not only
because it is cheaper, but because
they know exactly where it comes
from. The weekly newspapers of
this country can act as your selling
agent; a few cents invested in
small ad in your hometown paper
may reach someone who will become
your permanent customer-and one
customer always brings Others. Isn't
it worth trying out?

County Capital in Systematic
Manner
Grand View.

And the work for the county seat
goes merrily on. Feb. 20 the COM
mittee of seventeen were at meet
ing of the Commercial Club at Clay
tonia. The accessibility of Grand
View from all parts OF the county
was illustrated by the fact that al
though it is 691a miles from Grand
View the trip was made by all the
ears in less than four hours and some
Of the larger ones We're only a little
over three hours on the road Rep
King Hill were present, also Bruneau
and Castle Creek A good gathering
Of some 65 representing Homedaie,
Claytonia, and vicinity welcomed
the committee. Addresses were made
by Messrs. Blodgett, Hinton, Mullen
TX, Craig, Foreman and others. Mr..
Ingham showed a map of the county
which proved beyond question that
Grand View is almost the exact CEN
ter of the county east and west.
When Mr.. Hinton told the meeting
that among other things planned was
a county we'll, and the Doctors well
flowing with both gas and warm wa
ter was sufficient to light and heat
his house, also to do the cooking, a
motion was made that the meeting
unanimously endorse the move of go
ing to Grand View. With three ex-
eeptions every one rose on the vote.
A vote was then taken seriously to
decide the choice and resulted in en-
dorsement by the Claytonia people,
(they alone voting on this question:
in the proportion of nine to five in
favor of Grand View against any
competitors And then they rode
back" but as they did not leave un-

trouble and leaky radiator, etc.
well, the less said about the return
The better. They arrived.
The lunch at Grand View Satur-
day was also we'll attended and short
addresses were given by Messrs Blod-
gett, Ingham, Hinton, Craig, of Bru-
neau, Snow and Macy Of Boise, and
Others. As an outcome of this meet
ing the sum of $4,000, block OF
ground, and free transportation of
all county material was guaranteed
by responsible people of Grand View
Valley. About seventy were present,
fifty being served with the lunch.
Ten committees are out and by the
time this meets the eye of the reader
every precinct in the county will
have been visited and IL is hoped that
every voter will have had the oppor-
tunity to sign the petition. Grand
View precinct has been practically
completed and over $50 names are
on the petition, which will be slight
ly increased before the petition goes
to the commissioners.
