REV. A. L. WOOD
TO LEAVE FERRY

It is with profound regret that
the Republican chronicles the deci-
sion of the Rev. A. l.. Wood and his
estimable wife to leave the Ferry and
take up their residence in Salt Lake
City. Leonard Wood as he is known
by his acquaintance, whom he
numbers as his friends, has been one
of the outstanding factors in the
community life of the Railroad town
to our south. He has accomplished
much along civic lines and partieu-
larly during the World War he was
honored by being placed at the head
Of the Canteen Service, maintained
by the Red Gross, throughout the
Northwest. Mr. Wood at one time
was resident of Mountain Home
and his many friends throughout Ell
more County wish he and Mrs Wood
success in their new home.

Drill Progresses After Short
Delay Expect Water
Between 800 and
900 Feet

Work is again progressing at the
municipal we'll. The drill has now
reached depth of approximately
500 feet and 1T is expected that the
flow will be struck between 500 and
900 feet. Last week considerable
delay was occasioned by striking a
fiat hole but this has been eliminated
and all is we'll.
Sufficient water flows into the hole
from above the strata of lava to en-
able the driller to proceed rapidly.
Sufficient water is now available
at all times for an ample fire pro-
lection, which condition is a great
relief to local property owners as for
time during the past month had a
blaze started there would not have
been a drop to extinguish it.

yesterday evening to attend recep-

Episcopal Rector at that place, who
is planning on leaving for Salt Lake
City in the very near future. The
high esteem in which Rev. and Mrs.

reflected daily by the many regrets
that are heard daily relative to their
departure from our midst.

CONGREGATIONAL
STATE CONFERENCE

Nearly all the churches are rep
resented by good delegations. The
response of the Mountain Home peo-
pie in giving entertainment is most
gratifying. The presence and ad-
dresses of DR. Cannon, of Chicago,
and DR. Moore of New York, and
Rev Mrs Ranney of San Francisco
have added much to the inspiration
of the sessions. The evening topics
have been of public interest and have
drawn full houses The local double
quartet have given splendid anthems
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
The ordination of Mr.. Ford, the
young minister at Mccall, pleased
everybody Tuesday afternoon in the
examination by the reality of his
experience and faith. The fellow
ship supper Complementary to our
guests was the social feature, and 1t
is needless to say that the church
ladies served with taste. Rev. Mr..
Jones, the moderator, proved to be
the happy spirit as toast master, Rev
Gordon of Council is quite an artist
with crayon in Sunday school pic
ture drawing a feature Wednesday.
The conference sermon Wednesday
forenoon by Rev. Mr.. Jones followed
by the communion drew all hearts to
the mind of Christ.
Too late to report was the Wo-
mans Missionary Union this after
noon with an address by Rev. Mrs.
Ranney and music by the local So
ciety. This evening is the Young

Mountain Home young people with
Mr.. Talley, leader Misses Graham

dination services of Mr.. Ford by sew
eral ministers and address by DR..

teresting sessions of the state con-
ference.

RAINS OF WEEK HELP
RANGE CONDITIONS

The rains of last week have help
ed the fall range conditions material
ly, according to a local prominent
sheepman. Owing to the fact that
the water was so short in the early
spring the sheep were taken to the
hills, leaving vast amount of grass
on the lower range and this is prov
ing a valuable asset to the grower
now in the way of dry feed. While
the rain was so light that 1t will not
likely start any new grass, it washed
off the dry feed, making it much
more acceptable.

is considered as an excellent price
t is believed that the market has
practically reached the top price for
a while as the feeders in the Eastern
States are now being thrown onto
the market, thereby decreasing the
demand to a certain extent.
During the past few weeks quite a
few of the local sheepmen have
shipped their stock TO Colorado, Mon
tant and Nebraska for feeding. This
step has been occasioned by the
shortage of the hay crop and the ae-
companying high prices. Owing TO
this fact there will not be as many
sheep fed in this locality during the
coming winter as has ordinarily been
the case.

PUBLICITY COMMITTEE
THE BALLOON TIRES

AKRON, o. Aug. 12th.-Will bal
loon tires cause motorist to spend
when he doesn't realize it and doesn't
intend to? Will his speedometer
show to be travelling at lower rate
of speed than he actually is?
On the theory that balloon and ov-
ersize tires throw the speedometer
off, police departments Of some cities
have ordered motorists using balloon
and oversize tires to have their speed
.ometers corrected.
One instance for example, resulted
in an ultimatium in certain city
that all cars originally using 81 x 4
tires and changed to 80 AZ, must
have their speedometers corrected
because, officials declared, when the
owner believed himself to be driv-
ing at IS miles per hour he would
actually be going 20 or 80. A
The fallacy Of this line Of reason
ing is pointed out by engineers Of The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. who
state that with single oversize tire,
in the Size mentioned, and fully in
fiated, an crease of speed Of but 8
per cent would result. So the car
would be travelling 1884 miles in
stead Of 90, because the increase in
the tires diameter is but slight. More
over, the Goodyear experts say that
few oversize tires are inflated to
their full capacity, so that the hub
center is always closer to the ground
and for this reason the full diameter
is not utilized, with the obvious re-
suit that the speed approximates a
2 per cent increase rather the max
imunl per cent.
Small diameter balloon tires, be-
cause they do have small diameters,
have a shorter circumference and
therefore make more revolutions in
travelling any certain distance than
regular size tire does. So the
speedometer on car which has been
equipped with small diameter balloon
tires is indicating greater speed than
that at which the car is actually
travelling. If the speedometer regis
tered 25 miles per hour for instance
lit is safe to say it is probably travel
ing % miles a hour.

HOTTEST DAY IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Aug. Sth--Yester-
day was the hottest August day in
six years.
The mercury reached ninety-three
at o'clock in the afternoon. Six
years ago it reached 102. @Nt
In New York City there were five
deaths and many prostrations before
the cooling evening shower came. 1t
had been promised so often, this
thunderstorm of meteorological
science. The promises had been de-
layed. Perhaps Providence felt a
bit sorry for all the suffering folks
under the mighty sun of August and
the gods of the heavens blew out of
their cloudy cnverns a wind with
rain as a courier.
1t so happened, anyhow.
But before the rain came the city
Of six million suffered. The day be-
fore had been terrible enough. Yes
terday was one degree higher.
Five deaths were attributed to the
heat, either directly or indirectly
through accident or suicide. There
were more than twenty prostrations
reported to the police stations and
hospitals.

sandstone base with limestone and
tarvia top (known as bitumious
road; had they selected the Furnace
Stag R. S., Dayton would have taken
the Talbot road as he was the low

FISH

Most people think of fish as cold,
dull and stupid things without any
trace of what we call in the animals
"hunian traits. And many persons
who would under no circumstances
shoot deer or harm any of the big,
furred people Of the woods, go cheer
fully forth with airod and pull up on
a sharp hook fish after fish--that is
if his or her luck is good.
But recent investigation of science
reveal some remarkably interesting
and surprising facts. Fish that take
one wife for life, fish that sing and
"talko to each other, fish that climb
up trees for their afternoon nap,
fish that can change their skins to
match whatever their eyes see-and
many other new and astonishing dis
eoveries, all of which appear in an

LIGHTNING DIGS WELL

feet deep near the residence of Geo.

Mr. Davis some time ago dug a
well fifteen feet deep back of his

other flowers were planted. These
were in full bloom when last nights
storm broke. The lightning hit the
spot exactly, and in a fraction of a
sorond did what Davis had failed to
do.
