STEVENS NAME ON
ONLY ONE TICKET
Supreme Court Ruling to
Effect That Name Can
Appear on Ticket
But Once

According to a decision rendered
by the Supreme Court of the State
of Idaho last week, the name OF
Senator Borah was taken from the
progressive ballot in Elmore County
and his name will only appear on the
Republican ticket, Likewise Sher-
I'M A. A. Stevens was nominated on
both the progressive and democrat
ic tickets and this ruling of the Su-
preme Court forced Mr.. Stevens to
designate his preference in the mat
ter and his name win apear under
the democratic heading.
The ballots were finished the fore
part of the week at the Republican
Office was one of the largest that
has been printed in Gilmore County
in some time, the completed ticket
measuring nineteen by twenty-four
inches and the electorate win be
provided with large list from which
to make their selections for both
state and county Offices.
County Auditor Hobbs states that
to date approximately twenty-five abb
sent voters have been sent their ball
lots and some have already been
cast at the auditors office. Mr.
Hobbs expects TO leave today for the
different parts of the county to dis
tribute the supplies.

TOWN rs INFESTED
WITH PEDDLERS

During the past week Mountain
Home has been infested with several
peddlers, who have been pestering
local housewives and citizens gener-
ally to purchase their wares. In
numerous instances, sales were made
to people who did not stop to con-
slider that the general practice of
buying from the peddler would ulti-
mately drive every business house
from the city. Our local stores can
supply anything that is needed in
every day life at price that will
meet that Of the peddler and by pat
ronizing them a patron can see what
they are buying and be certain that
they are getting their moneys worth.
The goods are delivered forthwith
while if you patronize the peddler you
have to wait for several weeks and
besides take the risk of never getting
it.
1t hardly seems fair to local busi-
ness houses that outside people
should be permitted to come into the
city and solicit premiscously with
out the payment of a single cent for
the maintenance of the city, while TO
do business every businessman in the
city is required to keep up his pro
rata of taxes. This is a matter that
might well be brought to the atten-
tion of the Village Council and an
ordinanc proposed that would place
a part of the burden on this parasite.

ADD TO GRAND
VIEW DAIRY HERDS
Cheese Factory at Neighbor-
ing Town Manufacturing
450 Pounds of Cheese
Each Day

joss Bros, operators of the cheese
factory at Grand View, were Noun
tain Home visitors last. Saturday.
While in the city they were making
arrangements for a number of dairy
cattle that were being shipped from
the Boise Valley to dairymen in the
Grand View section. Those farmers
who received cattle last week were
Matt Spang and j. Garnder.
The cheese factory at Grand View
is making a success out of their en-
terprise, which was only started
about a year ago and Mr. JOSS states
that the farmers of that section are
becoming more interested in the
project and are adding to their herds
right along. In addition all are
making a financial profit from dairy
cattles since the establishment of
the cheese factory. Before the fac
tory was established the dairyman
in that section was receiving in the
neighborhood of from 20 to 80 cents
for butter fat and at the present
time are getting Al cents at the fac
tory.
Joss Brothers are now manufac-
turing about 450 pounds of cheese
daily from approximately three hun
dred head of cattle.
The dairy industry in Elmore
County is one that should receive the
hearty cooperation of all as it will
mean our future development when
practiced intensively.

PETITION FILED
FOR new DISTRICT
Matter of Consolidation of
Two Irrigation Districts
To Be Heard at Next
Board Meeting

Elsewhere in this issue of the Re-
publican appears the Notice of the
Filing of the Petition for the Organ
ization of the Mountain Home IT.
rigation District which will comprise
the systems of the Mountain Home
Cooperative Irrigation District and
the Elmore County Farms associa-
ton. The newly organized district
will cover approximately 5000 acres.
The petition will be presented at
the next meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners and at that
time a date will be set for hear
ing, at which time it will be definite
ly decided as to when the election
will be held to authorize a bond is
sue for the purchase and recon
struction of the two districts.
In order to provide an adequate
water supply it has been found nee
essary to reduce the district to about
5000 cres. Owing to the amount OF
water that will be available. The
committee in charge of the proposed
reorganization is at the present
time securing quit claim deeds from
all of the water users who do not
care ~ D6 III liz NhSNtAcN
and wish to be relieved of the obli-
CATION. In addition the committee
is making an effort to eliminate the
more undesirable and lands which
it is most Impractical to try to ir-
rigate. Long laterals and lack of
fertility of the soil is the basis upon
which this matters is being worked
out. So much land is available that
it is proposed to keep only the first
class land in the district and to con-
solidate it into as nearly compact
body as is possible.
The proposition of the consolida-
tion of the two old districts and the
establishment of the Mountain
Home Irrigation District under the
Idaho State law is receiving the un-
animous support of the farmers of
this section. All concerned realize
that this is the only feasible solution
to their irrigation questions as un-
der the old system much water was
wasted owing to the lack of proper
Litigation between the
districts has also hampered the de-
of the entire section. All
If these matters can be settled in the
future without going into the
courts and it is anticipated that the
will be heralded as
an era in the development of this
entire section.

LARGE CAVERN
IS EXPLORED
Cave of Large Dimensions
Is Discovered in Lava
Many Animals En-
trapped

Few people in Mountain Home are
aware of the existence of a large
cavern, located about one quarter oil
a mile directly west Of the Sebree
side track on the Oregon Short line,
north of this city. A party explored
the under ground chambers of this
cavern last Tuesday evening and
found the entrance to be about six
feet square, opening into a large
chamber about ffty. yards square,
the ceiling varying from five to
twenty feet in heighth. Connected
with this main portal by narrow
passageway is another large cham
Der of nearly the same size.
The cavern has the appearance o.
a large inverted bowl and II is pre-
sumed it was formed by blister in
the lava. The floor of the innermost
cavern has a hollow sound and It IS
presumed that 1t is covering another
cavern. It is the intention OF those
who made the exploration last Tues
day evening 10 blow out the floor
in one place and ascertain the depth
of the lower channel.
The floor is both chambers is lit

deer HUNTERS
ARE SUCCESSFUL
Local Hunters Secure Limit
In Short Time Some
Large Deer Brought Z
Back to Town

The fact that Idaho, this section
particularly, is a hunters paradise
Is being proven daily. Nearly every
day during the past week autos load
ed with from one to three deer have
been seen going through the princi-
pal streets of the city. Among local
sportsmen who spent several dys of
the past week in the mountains and
were successful were the following:
A party composed of Fred and
Dick Bennett, NJ G. Swain, Bert
Tucker and MiH Helm spent cou-
pie of days In the vicinity of Atlanta
and returned on Monday with four
large bucks. Two of the deer, four
pointers, weighed in the neighbor-
hood of two hundred pounds each.
Many deer are reported In that sec
tion as we'll as some sign OF elk.
James Kite, Jack Goul and G. z.
Wetherell returned on Monday after
noon from a three days trip to the
mouth of Fifer creek, on the middle
fork of the Boise They secured two
does and buck They report not
so many deer in this particular sec
ton at this time as there has not
been enough storm in the higher
mountains to drive the large bucks
down so low and the deer that they
killed were native of that locality. 1t
IS reported that on their first night
out they killed a deer and after
cleaning it hung it up for the night.
Along in the night they were awak-
ened by bear, which was feeding
from the offall While hunting they
met party of Gooding hunters, who
were returning home from the john
son Greek country, they had several
deer and couple of mountain goats
that were killed in that section.
Members of this party state that
they noticed considerable elk sign
and that fishing in the Boise at that
place was superb, owing to its loca-
tion, few fisherman get in to the
stream. --

NEWSPAPER MIRROR
OF LOCAL PROGRESS
Republican Strives For the
Progress of Elmore Coun-
ty and Solicits Coop
Grafton of Citizenry

The Mountain Home Republican is
the mirror in which is reflected the
progress of Elmore County. The
appearance of its printed columns,
aside from the printed word, tells to
an inquisitive world whether or not
the community is going ahead,
whether or not it is made up of a
progressive and up-to-date citizenry,
and whether or not it is desirable
place to live. Progress in any COM
munity is made manifest in many
ways but probably none more appar-
ent that is shown by the columns of
advertising carried in its representa-
tive newspaper and in the daily ac-
tivities as chronicled in its columns
of news. The Republican has an ex-
cellent equipment for the handling
of its newspaper business and in ad-
dition has an up-to-date supply of
type faces and presses o handle any
sort of commercial printing. There
is no excuse for any business house
to send out of Elmore County for
printing, unless perhaps they feel
that the community is not deserving
of the patronage. You do not mere
ly help the paper when you patronize
1T, you indirectly aid your commun-
ity.
Elmore County seems to be on the
eve of more OF less extensive develop
ment of its agricuiturl possibilities.
Plans have been completed for the
consolidation of the two irrigation
districts, which will aid materially
in the farmers prosperity, and in adj
addition plans are being formulated
for the transportation of water from
the Stanley Basin to the Mountain
Home -Sunnyside tract. which will
make this one of the richest agricul-
tural sections in the west. The Re-
publican is striving at all times to
promote these activities and will en-
deavor, with the cooperation of its
patrons. to fully perform its duties
as mirror of the progress of FL
more County.

In each national election since
1896 the proportion of voters has
dwindled. In 1896. 80 per cent of
those qualified to vote did vote; in
1900, 73 per cent; in 1908, Sc per
cent; in 1912, 81 per cent; in 1920,
less than so per cent. Four years
ago 54,421,S32 Americans could
have voted, but only 26,7S6,753 did
so.
Such is the descending curve of
American democracy. Unscrupulous
politicians get what they want by
herding their masses of unthinking
voters to the polls. Isn't it time
more thinking voters were heard
from?

and struck him on the head. The
fact that the rock fell with more or
