GENERAL UTTER
MOVES TO DENVER

General d. A. Utter, who has been
the local justice and U. S. land com
missioner at Mountain Home for the
last four years, has removed to Dem
yer, where he will make his future
home. He left March 1st and is now
settled in his new home.
The General leaves many warm
personal friends here, who have en-
joyed their associations with him
during the past years. He is a court
ly gentleman in every sense of the
word, and his pals sincerely hope
that his remaining years will be
filled with plenty and happiness.
The Republican office doesn't seem
the same since he left, and we will
all miss his CHEEKY greetings.
A. A. Sessions was appointed land
commissioner to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation Of the Cen
eral, and is now conducting the
business.

Angeles. In speaking of conditions
on the coast he says the farmers gem
orally are no better off than they are
in Elmore county. That the theory
that the farmers must be prosperous
if the city is to be likewise, proved,
as far as the coast cities are con-
cerned incorrect, for these cities are
in most prosperous condition. In
speaking of Sundays he says that 1t
was wonderful to see the crowds
lined up outside the churches wait
ing to get in. This does not apply
to one denomination but all denom-
nations, and hundreds are turned
away from churches that hold thou
sands and if one wants to go to
church they must be there on time
and fall in line. This sounds to good
to be true when we look at the
crowds Cd that are waiting outside
our own churches in Elmore county
every Sunday morning and evening.
Unfortunately they seem to continue
to wait and many seldom ever enter.

.GUILLERMO GUIREUN
SHOT THRU HEART
Body Found by C. f Ross Near His
Ranoh-Believed to Be Acct
dent-Inquest Held

The body of Guillermo e. Guireun
was found by Charles f. Ross We'd
nesday morning of this week on the
road about one mile west of the Ross
ranch.
Coroner Gilmore ottenheimer was
notified and the remains were
brought to Mountain Home by G. C.
Zacher. An examination OF the body
revealed that the bullet from a 80
80 rife had passed directly through
the heart, causing instant death.
It was decided that an inquest
should be held, and this was being
held Thursday evening in the under
taking parlors of McBratney &
Zaeher.
The unfortunate man was last
seen Tuesday evening at the time he
retired for the night at the Ross
ranch. He had been employed there
for number of years. The >princi-
pal theory of the cause Of Guireun's
death is that some time during the
night he heard coyotes near the
sheep corrals and, taking the rifle,
he started out to frighten them off.
A stumble may have caused the gun
10 fall in front of him, and it was
discharged, killing him instantly.
The rifle was found beside the
corpse where il had fallen.
In the mans personal effects was
found a $4,000 life insurance policy
payable to Guireun's estate. AS far
as can be learned the only relative
of the dead man is brother living
in Spain.
There is no doubt that the verdict
Of the coroner's jury will be death
by accidental shooting, as Guireun
was of good character and there Is
no apparent reason for suicide. His
friends are saddened by his untimely
death.

CHATTINS HAVE
HANDY TOOL

Bob Chattin drifted into the Re-
publican office Monday of this week
flourishing an implement which we
at first thought was intended to take
our lives. We gave him the peace
sign, however, and he explained that
the tool was merely the "Tomahawk,"
intended to be used as a staple puller,
ice pick, game dispatcher, prospect
or's pick, hammer, etc. AS soon as
we had our hands on the Tomahawk
we at once realized its great possi-
bilities. In the future no home or
ranch will be complete without one
of these tools.
1t is now being manufactured by
the Chattin Tool Co., with headquar-
ters in Boise.

BUSINESS THIS YEAR

We note in daily papers a much
more cheerful view of the business
situation as a result of the extra
dividend paid by the U. S. Steel Cor
poration, with the announcement
that the company made more money
in 1923 than at any time in its his
tory. Steel as every business man
around Mountain Home knows, is a
barometer by which we can judge
most other industries When the
steel industry makes money, most all
other industries do, finance breathes
more freely and trade in general
livens up. Everybody tends to grow
cheerful, and cheerfulness makes
business move. Hardware men are
reporting orders for future delivery
far ahead of expectatins; carpenters
and contractors throughout the en-
tire country express the belief that
this spring will be fully as busy from
a building standpoint as last spring
some predict even more so. There
is a tradition that presidential
year" is a bad business year. But
there have been exceptions, and this
year. from all indications, is go
ing to be one of them.

MAIL ORDER GOODS
HIGHER THAN HOME

- fact And we kin prove it in
one instance at least. Listen play
mates:
Wednesday Of this week well
known business man of Mountain
Home whispered to us that the wife
of another business man in the city
had recently purchased a remarkable
bargain from mail order house.
She secured three aprons for $3.75.
The business man. however, informs
us that these identical aprons are on
regular sale in his establishment at
csc per copy, with the additional ad-
vantage that no postage is necessary.
The Republican has always
preached trading at home to our peo-
pie. What if you do have to pay
more sometimes than you might have
to produce to Mears, Sawbuck & Co.?
Your money is spent at home and
you have better than an even chance
that some of it will return to you in
its round-the-circle march.
If we all spend the dollars we get
from Mountain Home people IN
Mountain Home the prosperity of the
community will be boosted fully fifty
per cent. And if we were to go on
and write a column article on this
subject we could say nothing more
to the point than we have in the
above remarks.

MOORE WILSON

Grant Wilson and Miss Mary
Moore put one over on their many
friends Saturday Of last week when
they went to Boise and returned to
Mountain Home with a perfectly good
marriage certificate.
The groom is one of the cleanest
cut young men in Mountain Home,
while his bride is one of the highest
types of young womanhood in our
city. She is the daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. w. Moore.
The happy couple were the guests
of the brides parents at a bountiful
dinner Sunday evening after their
return from Boise.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson will make
their home here, and the congratula-
tions Of the entire community will
be theirs.

COUNTY SEAT
WORKERS BUSY
Looks Like Necessary Number VIII
Be Exceeded on Court Petition
For Election
Grand View.

The county seat canvass has re-
vealed a remarkable unanimity of
feeling as to the removal of the coun-
~ business to a more accessible
point. The petition shows over 1000
names already signed and on the re-
turn of the party that went to the
precincts UP in the mountains this
number will be increased to over
100. There is little doubt that the
petition when it goes before the court
will have over 1900 signers. Ex-
treme care has been taken by all the
canvassers that not one name should
go on the petition of one who is not
a legal voter. Your correspondent
refused seven persons who will be
voters by election time but about
whom there might be a question just
at present.
The number necessary to have the
name go on the ballot according toI
law is $40 and If the number of
voters is the same as two years ago
a vote of about 100 would be suf-
ficient to carry the decision. But,
oh, the roads in some of the noun
tain precincts! One messenger re-
ported that for over thirty miles he
did not go into high gear for any
distance over thirty feet and only
a few times did he use the high at
all. Another reports that for the
first time in his auto exper-
ience did he get into
place where he had to be hauled out
out he found his car so nearly point
ng to the stars that no gas would
90 into his carburetor.

Saturday night about o'clock the

entering Sunderland Eyes, some OF
our citizens go tG bed at 81 by a
loud blast that shook buildings and
made the window panes rattle, lit

with pale and frightened faces, while
but few continued to slumber on in
different as to what was happening.
Others rushed out into the street
thinking perhaps that the last great
day had arrived or that ter
rible accident had occurred in the
roundhouse, but it was nothing more
than them Ku Kluxers pulling off one
of their tea parties or holding some
kind of mysterious ceremony on the
hillside about a mile northeast of
town, which ended with a display
of the "blud curdlin' fiery cross.
From evidence we have obtained first
hand on the spot where the event
took place, there must have been
quite a few Kluxers klucking and
they evidently spent some time in
consuming many cigars, for the
ground was literally covered with
bands of the best brand procurable.

F. A. Prince Called

F. A. Prince passed away Monday
evening after an illness covering a
period of four years, during which
time he was bedridden, having been
stricken down with paralysis March
"a, 1920. Mr. Prince was an engin-
eer on the o. S. L. r. R. at the time
of this stroke. He was born in Eng
land and came to this country when
but six weeks old. During the war
his only boy was killed in action

when one stops to figure the thing
out such a procedure is not reason

this day and age we are not getting
enough high class entertainment in
