THE PERFECT TOWN

Not long ago we asked a we'll
known citizen to write down for us
in black and white just what kind
of town he considers perfect, that
our readers might compare it with
Mountain Home. He has done so,
and here is his idea of a perfect
town:
1T should be a moral town where
citizens obey the laws and woman
can walk the entire length of Front
street and feel that the men she
passes respect womanhood; town
that forgets individual squabbles and
unites for the comon good of all;
a town with good public library,
churches that are well attended and
pastors reasonably paid; town
where nobody has to lock the chick
en- coop door; where each citizen is
made to feel that he is needed in
every movement of Importance, no
matter what his financial standing.
The perfect town should have pure
water anu SlIeelS the taxpayers are
proud of; a town whose citizens new
er say they but always us; town
fit to raise children in without
blushing for what they may hear on
the streets; where the so-called poll
ticians are men chosen from the
rank and file. seeking to help the
community with no thought of self
ish interest; a town with a play
ground for children, so they won't
have to be in the streets, and with
public comfort stations for both wo-
men and men. 1t should be a town
that grows without knocking a
neighboring town, one whose peo-
pie are always courteous to stran-
gers and one with faith in itself and
its ability to get whatever it goes
after"
Now read that over carefully and
see how near YOU think our town
measures up to it. If it doesn't then
ask yourself if there is any way in
which you can help to make it mea-
sure up.

SMITH WOULD TEST
OUT ARTESIAN FLOWS

Artesian water for irrigation in
the semi-arid portions of Idaho,
where there is plenty of first class
farming land and with little or no
water to put upon it, would virtual
ly mean a farm, home and a liv-
ing for many settlers of the Gem
State. But where flowing wells can
be obtained and at what depth is
question which is very difficult
and bewildering to the settler who
is not yersed in the principles of
geology and NEUROLOGY and who can
make no systematic survey of the
structure of the rocks beneath the
surface.
There were in Idaho in 1910 a to-
tai of 62 flowing wells with an ag
gregate discharge of 1900 gallons
per minute, or an average discharge
of 116 gallons per minute, and in
1920 total of 142 flowing wells
with an aggregate discharge of 49,
11S gallons per minute or an aver
age of 100 gallons per minute. Re-
Gently, however, new wells with
large flows have been drilled at high
enough attitudes to permit the wa
ter to be used for irrigation of good
lands for which there is no water
supply. These recent wells have
not only appealed powerfully to the
Imagination of the settlers who lack
water supply, and have produced
a wave of optimistic interest in ar
tesian water throughout the state,
but have also demonstrated to men
of sound Judgment that the limits Of
artesian development have not been
reached and that no man knows
what these limits are.
Congressman Addison T. Smith Of
Idaho who is ever looking out for the
people whom he represents and Ida
ho generally, has taken the initia-
tive in the matter of securing gov
ernment aid to carry on the work
more extensively, by introducing a
bill in Congress which if passed will
set aside TWO hundred thousand
acres of usreserved, non-mineral,
public lands in Idaho, and
the proceeds used for exploring for
water for irrigation of arid
lands in Idaho.-Nampa Leader-Her-
aid.

MANY TROUT FRY
FOR THIS COUNTRY

X. O. Upton, our live-wire game
warden, is busy this week preparing
to take care of a carload of trout
fry which the game department has
allotted to Gilmore county. On ac-
count of the water shortage the de-
partment has decided that the fish
should be placed in the larger
streams. The rainbow and eastern
brook will be placed in the Boise and
some of it's tributaries, while lit
tie later Willow creek, above Feath-
erville, will be stocked with large
supply of the beautiful cut-throat
trout, which should do well in that
stream.
Three years from this time the
trout fishing should be the best in
the world in this section of the
West.

IRRIGATION
WATER CEASES

Water for irrigating the farms of
the Cooperative and Elmore rights
was practically exhausted this week.
Camas reservoir yielded it's last sup
ply Friday of last week, and the sup
ply in Long Tom will last but a
short time. The ranchers can count
upon but one cutting of alfalfa this
year, and several of them are now
reaping this crop. The fields will
probably be given over to pasture
for the remainder Of the season.
The water shortage is not local
by any means. The Boise project is
short, and the Twin Falls and Wood
river projects face a drouth AS
matter OF fact, the heavens have
failed to open up all over the terri
tory west Of the Mississippi river,
while in the East super-abundance
Of moisture has been the rule.

ARREST TWO FOR
GAME VIOLATIONS

X. o. Upton arrested two men
Sunday last, charged with violations
of the fish and game laws.

rested for fishing without a license.
He plead guilty before Judge Manion
Sunday evening and was assessed a
fine of $25 and costs.

lation of the, law. He is said to have
had in his possession several fish
which failed to measure up to the
six inches required. His trial was
held before Judge Manion Monday,
and after hearing the testimony the
Judge released Mr.. Ward.

A Bit of the Past
By Stars Former Carriers.

From 1881 to 1884 Joseph D. Sullt-
van, 521 9Th street northeast, was
both selling Stars and serving a route
which included wholesale row." near
Center market. In those days Mr.
Coggins was the agent in charge.
Young Sullivan's predecessor on this
route was a boy named Tom Stub
blefield, afterward DR.. Stubblefield. a
we'll known dentist and real estate
agent.
Clarence W. Nohe, 1922 Monroe
street northwest, says he sold Stars
watchman in charge and used q black
cane to keep the youngsters in order
as they waited for Guy Collins, to
come down into the basement and
sell checks. Mr.. Collins, who has
been with The Star since 1887. Is now
chief clerk in the business office. The
papers were counted out by Adam
Ritter and Tom Mccarthy. Later on,
in 1889. Mr.. Nohe served route Tor
Agent Leese.
William L. Tayman. 1928 Naylor
road southeast, began serving an
Anacostia and Good Hope district
route when he was only seven years
old. That was thirty-five years ago.
and the houses were then mighty few
and far between, he remarks.
when Douglas Wallach owned The
Star and Mr.. Crosby s. Noyes. its
editor, lived at Sth and G streets

section of the city" writes NJ. X.
