WATER SITUATION
FOR LOCAL TRACT
Camas Reservoir Discharging 5000
Inches Into Long Tom-El-
more Rights Short

The local water situation may be
briefly summed up as follows:
For the Elmore water rights there
is at the present time in Long Tom
and Mountain Home reservoirs, SO
far as can now be determined, about
2,O4O acre feet. lnasmueh as the
acreage under cultivation under these
rights is about $50, the water avail
able for these users appears to be
less than / u acre feet. OF course
late rains may swell the amount
which will be available, but this is
not likely
Figuring on an acreage of $500
in the Cooperative system which will
require water this year. the indica-
tions are that the full supply of two
acre feet will be available. Camas
reservoir now contains about 10000
acre feet, and the run-off is not over
up there. Figuring that the run-off
to come will take care of the loss by
seepage and evaporation, there will
be available TO the Cooperative wa
ter rights about 10000 acre-feet,
sufficient to give them the amount
called for in their contracts.
OF course these figures are not
official, but will not vary to a great
extent either way.
The Cooperative water rights will
undoubtedly be in a better condition
this year than they were last year,
when the disastrous break in the tun-
mel stopped the running of water
from Camas into the lower system.

CAMPAIGN FOR
A CLEAN CITY
Citizens as Rule Boost the Project
= Idea Should Obtain 365
Days in Year

The Republican takes for its text
this week "a Cleaner and More
Beautiful City" and you will note
that the ''amens" are coming from
many of the business institutions OF
our community.
While the village board and Cham
ber of Commerce have designated the
week of April 21-26 for the purpose
of getting rid of the surplus aecumu-
lation of trash, ashes, and the like,
it is hoped that the six days will in
oculate all of our systems to such an
extent that the keeping of our home
surroundings clean and healthful
will become a fixed habit.
All trash accumulations should be
put in barrels Monday, April 1, and
the city will see that it is hauled
away without expense to the house,
holder. The limit is two barrels.
If you have a vacant lot which has
become unsightly, see that it is
cleaned up.

GETTING READY
TO MOVE TROUT

Deputy State Game Warden Tip
ton was in Mountain Home several
days this week and while here, in
company with Milton c. Helm and t.
B. and F. M. Lindsay, went up to
Camas reservoir to see if the trout
had begun their spring run up Cam
as creek. While there the party
screened the creek to prevent the
big fellows getting up to their usual
spawning grounds, as it is planned
to take these fish and place them in
the Boise river. It is generally be-
lieved that placing these fine big
fish, heavy with spawn, in the south
fork win result in making the fish
ing in that stream second to none in
the world in few years.
1t is thought that the state game
department will welcome some vol
unteer help in transporting these
trout, and if you wish to assist, see
Milton C. Helm.

18TH ANNIVERSARY
OF EASTERN STAR
Large Attendance of Brothers and
Sisters Present-Unique Features
Are Enjoyed by Assemblage

Perhaps the largest crowd that has
ever assembled at Miriam Chapter
No. 16, o. E. s., was present at the
regular meeting Saturday night, II
being past matrons' night and the
25th birthday anniversary of the
chapter.
Considerable time had been spent
in the preparation Of the program
and it proved to be time well spent.
After the business of the evening
was disposed of the matron invited
all the past matrons to form semi
circle back Of Esther's chair and she
gave short address OF welcome.
They were each presented with cor
sage bouquet tied with a shower of
red ribbons and hearts. Mrs. Lati-
more sang Hearts and Flowers"
The patrons were then greeted and
presented with red carnations.
About this time the door opened
and seven little girls dressed in the
star-point eolors, entered the room
and put on very pretty little drill,
one Of the features being to present
the five charter members, who had
been previously greeted by Mrs. Van
degrift, with gifts of pencils
to the brothers and spoons to the sis
ters.
Mrs. Rhoades gave a brief review
Of the 25 years as chapter.
Mr.. Bennett recited a humorous
piece entitled "since Mother Joined
the Lodge"
Mrs Caldwell in behalf Of the past
presented the chapter with
white covers for the star-point
chairs, $500 to help swell the
home fund and $4,000 to the China
fund. Mrs. Stewart responded.
After chapter was closed the
and guests retired to the
banquet room, where nearly 1901
people were served at seated sup
per, the main feature of which was
an immense birthday cake on tea
wagon. At the proper time the
charter members blew out the candles
and each cut their own piece Of cake.
the tea-wagon was rolled
around the room and each guest
served with a piece of birthday cake.
The only table decorations were
groups Of lighted candles in the
chapter eolors connected by colored |
'treamers. Both the chapter room
md banquet room we're gay with
,otted plants on pedestals and tables.

Glenns Ferry News
Glenns Ferry.

The Eastern Star Kensington last
Friday was one of the most delight
full of its kind so far given by the
local chapter 1t was held at the
home of Mrs. John Clarke, who was
assisted in entertaining by Mesdames
w. G. Corker, R. Crisp, and R. Rice,
these ladies being the hostesses of
the day. The first part of the pro-
gram was devoted to a floral love
story, in which questions were asked
and the names of flowers were to be
filled in as answers. Each guest
received a copy of the questions and
was required to write in the answers.
The first prize was awarded to Mrs.
Rosevear, who submitted the largest
number of correct answers. The
BOBBY prize was awarded to Mrs.
Matilda Smith of Pocatello. The
first prize was an Easter basket con-
tanning live chick and the BOBBY
prize an Easter basket with a stuffed
chicken. Piano selections were rem
dered by Mrs. Dolores Johnson, and
Mrs. Matilda Smith sang "The Holy
City," Mrs. Ed M. Clark, accompany
ing her on the piano. Mrs. Smith
was an out-of-town guest and is
visiting here with her grand-daught-
er, Mrs. r. Rice. She is 79 years of
age and her rendering of this beauti-
full old song brought tears to the eyes
of many present. Mrs. Smith in the
year 1860 sang in the presence of the
late Queen Vict1ria of England, in
the famous Crystal Palace in London,
a building of immense size and en-
tirely built of glass set in steel
frames. If her majesty enjoyed the
number as much as the local chap
ter did, then we are sure that she
left the palace perfectly entraneed,
having listened to one of the best |
musical treats of her life. Among
the invited guests were Mesdames
Matilda Smith of Pocatello, d. w. |
Gorby, F. c. Rowe, Ed NJ. Clark, and
j. Knudson.
Delightful refreshments were
served by the hostesses and the fa-
vors and decorations were typical of
Eastertide. 1t was in fact a most
enjoyable affair and one that will be
long remembered by those who had
the privilege of being present.

CAN A COMMUNITY
SPEAK AS A WHOLE
1t Can if 1t Is Organized and Has a
Representative Body Such as
the Chamber of Commerce

A man or group of men may have
desire to do or see accomplished a
certain thing, which to successfully
conclude calls for the cooperation of
other groups or communities. The
man or group goes to the sources
from which help is desired and puts
the matter before them. The ques-
tion then arises and is put to the
visitors: who do you representa-"
The answer is given: I'VE rep
resent ourselves" At once the visi-
tor or visitors feel a chill creeping
over the meeting, although they are
assured that the matter will receive
consideration. They return to the
place whence they came, and the
chances are greatly in favor of the
request being inscribed on cake of
ice and said ice being placed in close
proximity to a red-hot stove.
How may community speak as a
whole? only through an organiza-
tion which is representative of the
city as a whole, such as the Mountain
Home Chamber of Commerce. A re-
quest from this body will receive the
consideration to which it is justly
entitled, because the person or per-
sons approached realize that the COM
munity is speaking instead of a few
Such is the power of
organization.

Home Talent Play Pleases

Walter Ben Hare's three-act farce,
Always in Trouble" put on Monday
evening in the Parish House, was a
sure winner. The spacious assembly
hall was crowded long before the
curtain went up and early in the
evening there was Standing room
only"
The characters were taken by
members of the Glenns Ferry I'M
proYement Club and the entertain
ment was given for the purpose of
raising funds for the work this
progressive womens organization is
doing in our city.
Everyone in the cast was excellent.
It would be hard to say who por-
trayed the part most true to life, and
remember, sh-sh, not so loud-we
amt a-goin' to try, simply because
they were all good. The scene of the
farce took place in the railroad sta
tion at Slabtown, and the fun sur
rounding the arrival of Gideon
Blair's daughter, the marriage of
the ticket seller and lunch counter
girl and the antics of both Misery
Moon and Hiram Tutt caused the
audience to shrek with laughter.
The music was provided by the Ham
ilton orchestra and special number
by Mrs. VIM. Duncan, Scotch songs
sung in costume, both of which were
heartily appreciated by the large au-
dience. The characters in the farce
are as follows:
Misery Moon, a hoodooed coon
Mrs. L. Prince.
Gideon Blair, a millionaire-Mr.
W. H. McNutt.

Hiram Tut, an awful nut-Mrs

Rosebud Reese, the charming niece
Mrs. Chris Gjording.
Paula Maleek, a Bolshevik-Mrs.
Hibbard
Lulu Pearl, ragtime girl and
lunch counter attendant-Mrs. Mat
tie Watts.
Mesdames Allison and Glascock
took the parts of friends of Rosebud
Reese.
Without a doubt this was one of
the cleverest amateur productions
staged in Glenns Ferry for some time
and the ladies are to be heartily ap-
plauded for the manner in which
they put it over. The entertainment
was followed by a jolly dance, for
which the Original Bluebird Orches-
ira of Twin Falls played. This or
ehestra is far above the average or
ganizations of it's character and the
large crowd of dancers had a splen-
did time until the small hours of
the morning.
