SURVEYOR
INS1ALLS GAUGES
Federal Surveyor Assists in
Installation of Water
Gauges In Local
System

Carl Paulson, geological surveyor,
accompanied by w. ]. Love, secre-
tary of the Mountain Home Cooper
ative Irrigation District, last Mon
day made a trip to the Long Tom
reservoir and up into the Long Tom
Basin where water measurement
gauges were installed. Some little
difficulty was encountered on the
trip owing to the condition of the
roads and in several instances it
was necessary to "get out and get
under" in order to negotiate them.
There is now approximately 100
acre feet of surplus water now going
over the spillway at Long Tom and
the Camas reservoir now only lacks
about two feet of going over the
gates and it is anticipated that this
will be more than full in
the next week or so unless the de-
mand for early irrigation water in
crecses to such an extent that it will
consume this surplus. The local re-
seryoir is being kept full all of the
time despite the fact that local farm
ers are causing quite a heavy drain
for early irrigation.
According to those familiar with
the local water condition this year
will be the first since 1922 that the
reservoirs have been any place near
their capacity.

HENDERSON AND
GOODALL new DADS
Enormous Majorities Piled
Up For the Successful
Candidates s-Large
Registration

Through one of the most hotly
contested village elections in this
community for a numbers of years
John Goodall and Guy Henderson
emerged the victors last Tuesday
evening by over two to one major
ity.
On last Saturday evening when
the registration books were closed,
Village Clerk Anderson reported a
registration of 519, the largest reg
istration in the history of the city.
Supporters of both tickets were busy
in the field in the interest of their
candidates and nearly all afternoon
of last Saturday autos were run
to the registration Office for the con-
venience of the public.
Tension ran high on Monday and
all candidates ran the gauntlet of
public opinion both pro and con up
until Tuesday morning when the ac-
tual balloting started. By seven
o'clock when the polls were closed
there were exactly 500 who had cast
their ballot and three additional
votes were cast which were chal-
lenged and sustained by the election
board. The final count gave Goodall
39S, Henderson 31S, Morton 139,
and O'Daniels 124.
Now that the smoke or battle has
cleared it is the duty of every citi-
zen of Mountain Home to bow to
the will of the majority and give
their undivided support to the city
council. 1t has been hard in the past
to secure material for these posi-
tions, most important ones too, to
the community, owing he simple
fact that critical public was always
willing to down them for some pos
sible move which did not exactly
meet with their approval. The way
of the councilman or mayor is not
entirely mapped by that individual
he has laws to guide his way and
he should not be hampered by an
over critical public. Cooperation is |
the watchword of success in a town |
of this sort, the petty chickering's and
intrigue that sometimes follow as an
Aftermath of an election should be |
overlooked by the people of Noun
tain Home and we feel sure that It'll
will be. AS far as the past election
is concerned we are confident that
all of the candidates were excellent
men and that our city's affairs would
have been safe in any of their hands.
Let's all now try to put in the same
amount of effort and work for the
betterment of Mountain Home that
we did in the village election just
closed and ere another election rolls
around all will be agreed that this
city is that much better place in
which to live.
Let's all give three cheers for the
new Village Dads and give them
pat on the back and assure them of
our cooperation in their effort to
make Mountain Home a bigger and
better town in which to live.

COUNCIL TO
RE ORGANIZE

The Village Council, with the two
newly elected members, will hold
their first meeting next Tuesday
evening at which time a re-organiza-
tion will be affected. Rumor has 1t
that John Goodall. the high candi-
date in Tuesdays election will be
selected as mayor, although there has
been no expression on the part Of
any Of the council in this regard.
In addition to the reorganization Of
the household of the city dads they
will also select the appointive city
officers

FREY CROSS
MAKES APPEARANCE

AS an aftermath Of the recent
municipal election, presumably, a
fiery cross made its appearance on
Main Street down near the oil tanks
last Tuesday evening about ten
o'clock. There were no accompany

and Significance are problematieal in
the minds of most residents.

HUGE CRATER DISCOVERED IN ALASKA IS INTERESTING
 STUDY IN VOLCANOLOGY

In exploratory work conducted under the Department of the Inte- rior during the summer of 1925, R. H. Sargent, topographic engineer of the Geological Survey, and R. s Knappen, geologist, discovered a re- markable crater in the southwestern part of the Alaska Peninsula that is nearly as large as the famous Cra- crater approximately five miles in the Geological Survey party includ- ed the mapping of mountain some 5000 feet high that had already been reported to be a volcano, but closer inspection disclosed nest ling in the summit of the peak a cratar approximately five miles in diamater. The huge bowl was found partly filled with ice and snow, and numerous glaciers occur on it's pre-
 
 cipitous outer sides, radiating from the crater rim like the spokes of a great wheel. This is believed to be the highest crater in the world of it's dimensions. Another crater was discovered about a mile and half in diamater aud a thousand feet deep.
 The Alaska Peninsula is a region If volcanoes and craters. In 1922 Topographic Engineer Sargent and ieologist N. R. Smith discovered in he same vicinity a mammouth era CT which is 6% miles in damater This crater, which was named An akchak, was further studied this year by Mir Knappen and found to be far more wonderful than had been previously supposed. Many cu- bic miles of volcanic ash and lava cover the country within radius of 15 miles from it's center. The in- terior of the crater affords many interesting studies in volcanology- lava flows, ash cones, dissected vol canic necks, and warm springs, showing that Vulcan, the fire god, is not yet dead.
 The Sargent-Knappen party re- ports much big game in the country particularly the huge Kodiak bears, of which 54 were seen during the trip.
