FIRE LADS FIGHT
TWO BLAZES

The Mountain Home fire depart
ment was called out twice within the
past week by nasty little fires which
taxed their endeayors to extinguish,
but in both cases they were victo-
rious.
The first cali came Thursday of
Last week from the residence of J..
P. Tye in the north part of the city.
One of the outbufldings was discov-
cred to be in flames shortly after
o'clock and by the time the depart
ment arrived the building was almost
destroyed. Good work enabled the
boys to confine the fire to the build
ing in which the fire started. Mr..
Tye lost some bee supplies and honey,
the loss being figured roughly at
$500.
The second run was made Saturday
morning to the Episcopal church rec
tory, where spark from the kitchen
stove had ignited the roof. Although
the roof was completely in flames at
the time the department arrived, two
minutes was sufficient to queel the
disturbance.
Louis Argoitia and family occupied
the house., and all of the furniture
was saved by neighbors before the
fire boys arrived on the scene.
The boys made a third run We'd
nesday to east part of town, where a
small blaze was extinguished before
their arrival.

WATER USERS
MUST Use CARE
Water Scarce at the FelTy-Social
Matters Occupy the Ferry
Ferry News and Locals
Glenns Ferry.


The village board has issued a
warning to the water users that un-
lesS care is taken there may be a
shortage this year of city water. The
three hours morning and evening for
irrigation are taxing the storage
wells to the limit, but if those using
the water will exercise care and are
willing to cooperate with the water
works committee in the way in
which they live up to the water reg
ulations there will in all probability
be plenty of water for everybody
This brings out the fact that so
greatly has the system been in
creased in the past two years by
many new taps and extensions that
before very long it will be necessary
for the village to look for further
supply of water. The present board
has already been working on the
question with view to having data
ready for consideration when that
time arrives. SO far we have been
very fortunate and have not had to
worry about water, but it looks as
though something definite will have
to be done before very long in order
to keep pace with the ever increasing
demand.

DAH0 TOURING BUREAU
AT GREEN RIVER, WY0.

The Idaho State Automobile CA.
A. Al association announces the es-
adjustment Of a touring bureau at
Green River, wyo., east Of the prin-
'ipal point of tourist diversion at
Granger, where there has also been
opened an information Office for the
sgociation. other bureaus are to be
established as fast as memberships
will permit, including one at Yel-
owstone Park.
Idaho has not had its share of
luto travel, said the secretary of the
,ssociation. ''other states have been
loing what we should have done. We
aave no quarrel with them, only self
criticism. we ought to keep busy
on this Job, which is made possible
now as never before by the fact that
the association is being conducted on
a public service basis.
"The demands for Idaho scenic lit
srature and other information has en-
tirely exhausted our supply of liter
ature. This has been caused largely
by the wholesale response to our adj
in more than 125 news
papers in the East, Middle West and
South. Fresh supplies will be avail
able in few days and will be re-
Dlenished as fast as funds will per-
nit. The Idaho scenic folder will be

host to hundreds of visitors through
out this section who will be in the
city to enjoy the big three-day cele-
bration furnished by the Eagles and
the people of Elmore eounty's me-

WHO HAS ROOMS TO LET
DURING CELEBRATION

It is a fact that the city will be
crowded with visitors next week, and
it is necessary that they be taken
care Of The Mellen Hotel, of course,
will expand to the limit, but it is
a foregone conclusion that that place
will not be able to take care of all
who apply. Have you a room which
you can place at the disposal Of the
Fourth of July entertainment com
mittee? If you have, phone Man
ager Sholtz at the Mellen Hotel.

IDAHO BANKERS ARE
FOR TAX REDUCTION

Idaho bankers, in annual conven-
ton at Boise last week, went on rec
ord in favor of the establishment of
a branch of the federal reserve bank
in Idaho, to be located in Boise as the
most convenient place for all inter-
ests. The resolutions of the conyen-
tion pointed out that the territory
was too large to be served expedi-
tiously and efficiently from Salt Lake.
Collections from member banks often
require 10 to IA daqs in clearing, il
was recited, and the transfer of cash
from Salt Lake, even upon telegraph
ic request, required so long as to
possibly destroy the benefits in emer-
gency cases. Diversity of interests
and lack of familiarity with local
conditions on the part of the more
remote reserve bank were also urged
as a reason for the appeal of the
bankers. This was only one of sew
eral subjects handled by the conven-
tion in the interest of Idaho people.
A very strong resolution favoring
tax reduction was adopted. Il relat-
ed that the greatest taxing power is
conferred upon local government,
whose treasury is too often assailed.
by well meaning but short sighted
citizens in the interest of various pet
local projects. II urged the public
to stand solidly behind all public Of
fcials who show a purpose to reduce
taxation.

Fireworks on Fourth Only

Fireworks have been forbidden
within the corporate limits of the
) village except on the Fourth of July
and then they will not be permitted

This is a move in the right direction,
as boys (both young and old) are
careless and valuable property may
be destroyed or someone injured, We
believe in safety first" and those
desiring to have their fun must re-
serve their energy until the Fourth,
the proper and appropriate day for
ouch amusement.

DEMOCRATS NOW
HOLDING SESSIONS

AS we go to press this Thursday
the Democrats are holding their ma
tional convention at New York. The
two leading candidates for PRECEDENT
are AL Smith of New York and vii
liam G. McAdoo OF California.
Smith is said to be a Catholic. If
he is, and should be the nominee of
his party, it will be the first time in
history that this has occurred.
At present, however, it looks very
much as though neither Smith nor
McAdoo can be nominated, and a
brunette horse is the best bet.
