Mining BUREAU
ENDORSED LOCALLY
New Organization Plans To
Classify Mining Proper
ties and Aid in
Development

The Chamber Of Commerce, at a
special meeting last night, heartily
endorsed the Southern Idaho Mining
Bureau, recently organized by prom
inent citizens of the State, and unan-
imously voted to aid the Bureau in
every way possible. The solicita-
ton of memberships in Elmore Coun-
ty being referred by the Chamber of
Commerce to its mining committee.
Floyd c. White, and Bert q. Smith.
This Bureau functioning as pro-
posed will furnish the needed publi-
city which will bring to the atten-
ton of the mining investor the Won
derful mineral resources of Gilmore
County and Southern Idaho.
The various State Departments,
having to do with the mining indus
try, cannot advertise the resources
nor can they act as a protection to
the prospectors without inviting
criticism barbed with political ven
ON, but the Bureau can, and the men
who are heading it can be depended
upon to all of the things proposed in
an efficient and fearless manner.
The Republican also endorses the
movement, and with the Chamber
Of Commerce, urges the citiznes of
Mountain Home and vicinity, TO aid
in securing the requisite member
ship so that the Bureau may be able
to function fully and as expeditions
ly as possible, as in that way, we
feel that we may secure increased
business and a greater measure OF
prosperity in Mountain Home, Of one
thing we are sure, in no other move
ment, for a membership fee Of ten
dollars, can we secure a valuable ad-
vertising of our resources, in the
proper channels, and receive such
valuable assistance in the way OF
information and guidance as to the
best way to capitalize and develop
them

COMMISSIONERS
HOLD Session
Regular Monthly Meeting
of the County Dads Start
ed Last Monday
tine Business

The regular monthly meeting oil
the board of county commissioners
was held the forepart of the week
with all members of the board pres
ent and aside from the passage of
the regular monthly bills and the
routine work little of interest was
done.
The petition for the formation of a
herd district in that part of Camas
Prairie, which is in Elmore County,
was heard and it appearing to ma
jority of the board that the forma-
ton of the district would not be
beneficial the matter was voted down,
by vote of two tc one. The mem
bers of the board took the attitude
in this matter that the formation Of
the district would prove detrimental
to the stockmen of that section.
1t was also decided at this meet
ing of the board to start condemna-
tion proceedings against B. F. and
E d. Kissel, both of Eagle for a
highway right of way across their
property at Fall Creek. 1t is the
plan of the board to straighten out
the road at this point, thus avoiding
the sharp turn and heavy grade,
also shortening the distance some
thing like three-quarters of a mile.
The resignation of W. L. Seward
as county surveyor was presented
and accepted. No successor has as
yet been appointed to fill the vacan-
cy created.

One Residence And a Barn
In Different Parts Of City
Are Mass Of
Ruins

The residents of Mountain Home
were awakened last Tuesday night
about three O'Clock by the fire siren
and investigation revealed the old
Archibald residence, in the rear of
the Henry Barber residence a mass
Of flames. Prompt action on the part
of the fire department prevented a
possible spreading of the blaze but
the boys were unable to save the
building, which was a two story
residence that had been unoccupied
for some little time past.
Hardly had the residents of the
city returned to their homes and
were asleep than the siren again
summoned them This time the barn
in the rear of the Mellen residence
was a mass of flames. The barn was
destroyed as well as the city hose
house and only hard work on the
part Of the fire department prevent
ed the flames from spreading as this
Was Sill III d AiAOAO bhAInAJ PcR
ulated district In addition to the
total loss Of the barn, the household
effects of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Dick
were also destroyed, they having
been stored in the structure. The
flames burned the main line of the
Idaho Power Company and the power
was off until about nine o'clock the
following morning. With the sew
ering of the power line the city was
left in very percarious condition
owing to the fact that the telephone
office was unable to again sound the
siren should another fire have brok-
en- out and the motor at the city
pump house was also out of commits
sion preventing further pumping ac-
tivities.
Many local people are of the opin-
ion that both fires were set as they
started in unfrequented sections and
their origin cannot be traced to any
logical cause.

After thoroughly considering the
matter Of adding courses in Domestic
Science and Manual Training in the
high school, it was decided that there
was not adequate room in the school
building to give these courses at pres
ent. During the coming year it will
be necessary to place two or three
grade school rooms outside the
school house in other buildings,
making any expansion in the course
Of study unlikely until the conges-
ton in the present building can be
taken care Of

SPEEDING IN TOWN
BECOMING A MENACE

Reckless and careless automobile
drivers speeding through the city's
streets of an evening or after dark
are now becoming menace to pc
destrians. Turning corners at thir-
ty miles an hour should not be per-
mitted within the city limits. If
the drivers wish to take chances let
them go off on some untraveled road
where they could speed to their
hearts content and not endanger the
lives of innocent passers-by.

TWO FIRES TUESDAY NIGHT
AROUSE THE ENTIRE CITY
REGULAR INDIAN
SUMMER is PROGRAM

Regular Indian summer weather
prevailed throughout this section for
several days the forepart Of the week.
The atmosphere has been so overlad-
en- with smoke that for several days
the hills north of town could hard
ly be seen. The cause Of this unus-
ual condition is attributed to the
heavy forest fires in the northern
part of the state as no fires have
been recorded in any of the nearby
forests. A heavy rain in the vicinity
of Hammett and Glenns Ferry last
Tuesday evening aided some in
clearing the air,
