K|WAN|S To BUILD
SWIMMING POOL

The question of building a swim
ming pool for the children was
brought up at a recent meeting OF
the Kiwanis club with the result
that a suitable swimming pool will
be completed by the time the bath
ing season comes on. A committee
composed of ]. E. Turner, Arthur
Johnston, and Chesley Barton was
appointed to attend to all de-
tails and the work is now under
way. The excavation will be 501
100 feet Immediately above the big
ditch in the east part of town, rang
ing in depth from to about Az
feet with an inlet and an outlet from
the main ditch. Suitable dressing
rooms will be built with steps lead
ing into the pool. Ropes to be
stretched for the safety of the small
Ter children, and toboggan slide
erected.
This will be good news for the
little tots, and some of the bigger
ones as we'll.

STORM CAUSES
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE

The snow storm that visited this
territory Sunday afternoon and even
ing caused considerable damage to
the Idaho Power and the Mountain
States Telephone Gompany's lines.
The snow collected on the wires
and froze during the early part of
the night, causing the wires to break
under the heavy load of snow and
ice, a condition that has not hap
pened in this territory for many
years.
Mr.. Orr, Div. Mgr, of the Idaho
Power Co., reports that it will be
necessary for his company to spend
several hundred dollars to pull the
slack out of their lines. The heavy
weight Of the snow and ice caused
the wires to sag as much as five
feet In a number of places. II is
necessary to use copper wires for
the transmission of electric current,
and an excessive weight. such as we
had due to this storm, necessitates a
heavy expenditure to again place
the lines in good operating condi-
tions.

.|DAHO'S EGG
LAYING CONTEST

University of Idaho, MnrcoW--n
w. GIBSON, a poultry breeder OF
Nyssa, Oregon. just across the line
from Idaho is enthusiastic about the
propects of an egg-laying contest in
Idaho. AS he expresses it, ut will
place Idaho on the map to have an
egg-laying contest" Mr.. Gibson will
enter one pen each of his Single
Comb White Leghorn and Barred
Plymouth Rocks in the contest and
has offered to be of any help he
can in supporting the contest.
''An egg-laying contest means a
says a statement from the college of
agriculture. "It is to him just what
the poultry show is to the fancier.
1t is great sport, but more than that,
it is means by which he can get a
line on what his birds are doing The
absolutely accurate record of his
birds, that he gets at the end of the
contest, gives him stock for breed
ing purposes. He can mate up prov
en-, high producers to produce cock
erels of known ancestry. From then
on, he can make definite improve
ment.
Mr.. Gibson is only one of the many
poultrymen, who are writing in, Of
fering their support for the Idaho
International Egg-Laying Contest.
The continued cooperation of the
poultrymen of Idaho will assure the
success of the contest"

CHEER UP--SHE'S
LOOKING BETTER

Indications now point to some
change in the program of farm pro-
ducts, a more diversified crop, and
more intense farming, quite a few
are coming back to the planting OF
canteloupes. Twenty years ago the
Payette Valley was made famous by
the unexcelled quality Of canteloupes
and many thousands of dollars were
received by the growers. They didn't
all make big money, but the earlier
and more favorable sections gener-
ally made good. 1t was early money
and usually sure thing. The cante-
loupe market is greatly increased
and there is no reason why this val
ley should not supply its share of the
demand. The growing of peas will
be fully doubled, and the acreage of
sweet corn will be three times that
of previous years. A good acreage
of potatoes will also be planted, sew
eral carloads of seed potatoes have
already been contracted for. The
dairy business is doubling up fast,
and the poultry business rapidly in
creasing. The farmers who grow
alfalfa are discovering the methods
of weevil control, and the Idaho AL
falfa Milling Co. are here to furnish
a cash market.
The fruit growers can reasonably
expect a better price this year and
are preparing to grow quality that
will bring the price, the sheep busi-
ness is good and the cattle business
is coming back to normal
The Snake river valley is the most
productive section in the Pacific
Through unavoidable circum-
stances that has effected every farm
ing section of the Union, we have
suffered a setback, but a country
with the soil, climate and natural ad-
yantages for good production is
bound to win.

AN OPPORTUNITY
OVERLOOKED

AS the trout fishing season ap-
proaches we are reminded of the
spendid opportunity that might be
afforded the anglers of this terri
tory if the proper action had been
taken in stocking the Little Willow
Creek Reservoir. The matter has
been talked of, but so far as we
know there has never been any
action taken. Just why we can't
understand. Trout are being plant
ed in other places, not any more
favorable than the waters of Little
Willow with excellent results. With
the amount of territory at the di-
version, and the main reservoir,
seven miles above, and the canyon
between, there should be ample trout
fishing for the people of Payette
County where they could go and re-
turn the same day. 1t can not be
said the altitude is too low, for there
is few excellent trout caught every
year in the canyon below the main
storage reservoir. This should be a
matter for the Payette County Rod
and Gun club TO look after Perch
should do well in these waters. As
an example, Lake Lowell, south OF
Caldwell was stocked with Perch a
few years ago with the result that
today it is the best fishing place in
southwestern Idaho.
