 Out Wyoming SOlOn

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Because of the rivalry between Senator Curtis of Kansas and Senator WadswOrth of New York over the leadership of the senate left vacant by Lodges death, Senator Warren of Wyoming, who has had the longest service in the senate, may be made the majority spokesman. Warren, because of his age and heavy duties as chairman of the appropria- tions committee, was not expected to seek the place But because of the con test between Curtis and Wadsworth, a number of senators have suggested that Warren take the place to which his seniority entities him and prevent a factional fight among senate repub- licans.

BRUNEAU RANCHER
REPORTS GOOD CROPS

John Hutchison, well known
rancher of the Bruneau section, was
a business visitor in Mountain Home
over the last week end. Mr.. Hutehl-
sons visit was occasioned by the ar
rival of new alfalfa seed huller'
which was unloaded at the local de-
pot. He states that there will be
approximately 5000 bushels OF al
falfa seed harvested in that section
this year and that the price, now
being offered local growers is IN the
neighborhood of eighteen cents per
pound. Bruneau is one of the few
sections in this part of Idaho, where
crops are plentiful. There are only
about 1000 bushels of grain to be
harvested in that locality as most OF
the farmers have turned their at
tention toward the raising of alfalfa
seed. The fruit crop, which is usual
lv plentiful is short this year on ac-
count of late frosts.

BOND ISSUE HAS
BIG MAJORITY

Last Saturday the property own
ers of Mountain Home again display
ed their progressive spirit at the
polls. when bonds to the amount OF
$4,000 were passed, for the purpose
of securing an adequate water sup
ply.
There were 1914 registered voters
and 176 of this number used their
right of suffrage in the matter. The
count showed 14S for the bonds and
only % against them.
Work is now progressing rapidly
and the driller states that he Is now
down 14O feet and that in view OF
the present emergency he is going
to put on two shifts and expects to
proceed at the rate Of about thirty
feet every twenty-four hours through
the strata Of lava. After he has
drilled through the lava much great
er progress can be made.
The city has entered into a con-
tract with the driller to go 1000
feet at cost of $3.50 and should
artesian water not be secured at this
depth and the formations are favor
able it is quite likely that they will
go even deeper.
The citizens Of this locality are
anticipating a good artesian flow
basing their opinions on the state-
ments made by government geolo-
gists, together with the fact that
we are practically surrounded by an
artesian belt. This IS, Of course
problematical but the advantages OF
4 good flowing artesian well in this
city will ultimately be the salvation
of the Mountain Home-Sunnyside
tract as it has been estimated that
water derived from this source will
be much cheaper for the farmer than
any other source for irrigation pur-
poses
In order to show the extra ordin-
ary low water level, the driller on
the local well, despite the fact that
he is now down 14O feet, has not en-
countered water in any noticeable
amount.

Closely following the suit OF FL

Deposit Company of Maryland, tor
the collection of approximately
$4,000. the auditors of the National
surety Company spent several days
the forepart of this week in going
over the records in the County Treas
urer's office.
owing to the fact that the Nation
al Surety Company was the surety
for the Tax Collector and the Fidel-
ity and Deposit Company Of Mary
Sland for the Treasurer, there seems
to be some contention between the
two companies as to the source OF
the shortage, whether it was IN the
funds Of the Tax Collector or the
Treasurer. However the Board o.
County Commissioners have filed
SEPARATE suit against each company
for the amount of the shortage

matter.
Local sentiment seems to be to the
effect that it was not matter OF

part in making up her RECORDS. II
is also rumored that the likelyhood
Of criminal proceedings against her
are remote.
