Feeling of Optimism Pre-
walls Amongst Farmers
in Vicinity of Noun
tain Home

Farmers generally are feeling re-
assured relative to the water situa-
tion on the Mountain Home tract.
The weather of the past week with
considerable snowfall has oecasioned
optimism throughout their ranks.
With the ground in the mountains
well prepared to receive the snow It
is authoritively stated that the wa
tershed Is far advanced this season
as compared with last year. Accord
Ing to reports received at the Repub-
lican office there Is now over ten
inches of snow in Little Camas and
about foot at Pine. In addition to
the snow that has already fallen 1t is
quite likely that considerable more
will be on the ground by the first of
January, as the SHOWS in this Sec
tion, under normal conditions do not
fall heavy until the latter part of
this month and January.
In addition to the prospects of
water the local farmer seems to be
in more OF less favored condition,
owing to the irrigation project,
which is now in the process of form
alton. He will at least be assured of
a well maintained, conservative and
efficient distribution system.
The year just closing is reported
to have been the driest ever exper-
fenced in this section with the excep-
tion of 1905, when conditions were
just as bad as at present. In fact we
are informed by some of the old resi-
dents 1t was possibly little worse,
many trees in the city died during
that drought and lawns were some
thing unheard of.

HOLIDAY GIFT
STORES DISPLAY
"Trade At Home Is Motto
For the Holiday Shopper
and Practice Means
Prosperity

The spirit of Christmas time per-
vades the shops and stores of the city
since the showing of gift selections
were placed on display late last week.
Already the thoughtful ones are
shopping early" in order to find the
best selections. The spirit of trad
ing at home" is much In evidence
and merchants seem to have been
justified in placing larger stocks than
usual for the Christmas trade this
year
In the window displays, the pro-
gressiyeness of local merchants is
perhaps best exemplified and in this
respect the work of local trimmers
will compare favorably with many
of the larger cities and towns. The
style and makeup of windows shows
improvement over that of year ago,
indicating that merchants are fully
aware of the value of their window
space, and have been devoting time
and study the past year to attain
perfection in the art.
While several stores have yet to
put in their window displays, those
that are now on display are particu-
larly pleasing.
The motto Trade at Home" is a
particularly good one for the holi-
day shopper for in that way home
enterprise is encouraged and re-
warded. Those who buy at home as
sist in the general continued growth
of the city and in turn are thus re-
warded in the general prosperity of
the community. Those who purchase
by mail contribute to the upbuilding
of other communities. Shop early,
and be sure and buy at home.

EAGLES ENJOY
SOCIAL EVENING
Members of local Aerie Hold
Hi Jinx Last Tuesday Ev-
ening Large Crowd in
Attendance

The members of Mountain Home
Aerie entertained a large number of
friends last Tuesday evening at their
hall in this city. Cards and dancing
featured the evenings entertainment,
after which delicious refreshments
were served.
State President Thomas Trathen is
now sending out circulars to every
Aerie in the State covering the plans
of the State Grand Lodge in the
framing of the Old Age Pension Law,
which this organization is fostering
and hope to get through the coming
session of the state legislature. This
bill is working out successively in
several different states in the coun-
try and will no doubt do the same in
Idaho.
The bill which the Eagles propose
to have introduced will be pat
termed after the Montana state law
in this regard. Under the Montana
law, the board of County Commits
sioners are the judges of those who
are entitled to help in this regard.
It is proposed to pay to all people
who have reached an age that in
them for work and who |
are unable to support themselves the
sum of fifteen dollars per month.
This money to be derived from the
county charity fund In this man
ner the older people will be more or
less Independent and it is figured
that the care of the county's INDECENT
poor will be less expensive. At the
present time it is costing Bimore
County $1.35 per day for their main
tenance.

SHOP EARLY

Instructions Relative to the
Preparation of Christmas
Parcels To Be
Mailed

One of the important features in
the Shop Early, Mail Darly cam
paign, which is being put on
throughout the country by the Post
Office Department, is the proper ad-
dressing and securely wrapping OF
Christmas packages. When you wrap
your Christmas packages, wrap them
securely, put your address in the up
per left corner, so, if by any chance,
it should go astray, 1t can be returned
to YOU and not sent to the dead let
ter office. The good folks of our
community last year helped to bring
Joy and happiness to hundreds of
thousands of postmen and clerks.
Let's do our shopping early and mail
ing early again this year, so that we
may again enable the postmen and
the post office clerks to eat their
Christmas dinners home with their
families and at the same time assure
ourselves of having our Christmas
presents delivered to our friends in
order that they may be opened on
Christmas morning.
