Idaho will stop in Mountain Home
on May 11th.
The party will leave Salt Lake on
May 7th, returning on May nth and
is composed of manufacturers, bank
ers, professional men, wholesalers
and civic leaders, all intent upon
getting a better understanding OF the
State of Idaho, so that they may be
in a better position to work together
with the residents OF this state in the
upbuilding Of both Idaho and Utah.
About FIVE year ago similar ex-
cursion was conducted through Idaho
over nearly the same territory and
the business men Of Salt Lake were SO
well satisfied at that time with the
results obtained that they have un-
dertaken another excursion of similar
character.
Definite plans have not as yet been
completed by the excwrsionists but as
soon as they know definitely Just
what their program will be they will
advise the local club so that the citi-
zens OF Mountain Home will be in
position to plan some sort Of enter
tainment for our guests during their
visit in the city

QUESTION OF
PUBLIC RANGE
F. S. Gedney, of National
Wool Growers Associa-
tion Gives Views On
The Public Range

Relative to the future disposition
Of the public range, which is so es-
sential to the welfare Of the sheep
and stockman, f. s. Gedney. well
known sheepman of the Grand View
section gave the following interview
to the Republican last Tuesday:
at is evident that the time is near
at hand when the Government will
take some action regarding the pub
lie ranges of the Western States.
These ranges are as necessary to
the stockmen as the forest reserves
and the ranches upon which the win
ter feed is grown. Without them
the livestock business cannot be car
ried on.
"If these lands are to be leased or
sold what rights, If any, shall the
present users have? Shall they be
given preference in the leasing or
buying? And IL so who shall deter
mine what each mans rights are?
At what price shall these lands be
leased or sold or shall they be put
up at public auction?
IF these ranges are to be put un-
der supervision similar to the pres
ent forest reserve lands, shall they
be put under the supervision OF the
forest or some other department Of
Government or a new department set
up for the purpose? Again the ques-
tion arises as to what rights Of the
present usesr shall be recognized and
who shall determine those rights, as
well as the question Of fees to be

MANY CATALOGUES
ARE RECEIVED

Last week fifty thousand Mont
gomery- Ward catalogues were re-
ceived in Boise And yet some of the
people continue to wonder why the
capital of the Gem State is not grow
ing faster, says an exchange. Quite
a few Of the catalogues also reached
Mountain Home people. There is
only one way to prevent much mon
ey going out of this city via the cat
alogue route and that is by convinc-
ing the people that they should trade
at home and to do this local mer-
chants must keep the public advised
as to the bargains they offer and to
do this successfully generous
amount should be set aside each year
for advertising purposes.

HOME TRADE IS
MORE PROFITABLE

A striking example of the advan-
tages of trading at home comes to
view this week in the advertisements
sent out by certain Nampa Furni-
ture concern, who are flooding Noun
tain Home with series of postal
cards advertising Ideal mattresses.
This firm gives a glowing description
off the mattress and states that they
are giving big bargain in the mat
tresses for the next fifteen days at
a price of s12.40. This matter was
taken up with local dealer and we
have been informed that the same
mattress sells in Mountain Home at

THREE INCHES OF
SNOW LAST SUNDAY
Sheep Throughout Elmore
County Suffer No Ill Eff
fects From The Recent
Stormy Weather

Last Sunday morning, much to the
surprise Of practically everyone, the
ground was covered with about three
inches of the beautiful. The sun
came out, however, early in the fore
noon and by noon practically all of
the snow had melted.
By many of the sheepmen, it was
feared that sheep generally would
suffer from the damp weather, ow-
ing to the fact that many of the
owners were in the midst of shear
ing. Owing to the fact that the
storm was not accompanied by winds
nor cold the sheep seem to be none
the worse for wear and many of the
sheepmen are now holding off with
their shearing until the weather set
ties.
The lambing season is now near
ing the end and large increases are
reported from nearly every section of
the country. In one instance a one
hundred and fifty per cent increase
is reported.
The storm was welcomed by farm
ers as the ground was becoming
more or less dried out owing to re-
cent winds and the storm put it in
excellent condition for spring plow
ing, which is now in progress.

TO ESTABLISH
NATIONAL GUARD
Mountain Home Asked To
Furnish Personnel For A
Unit of The Idaho Ma
tional Guard

Attorney Floyd C. White is in re-
ceipt of communication from of
ficials of the Idaho National Guard
asking that this city secure the en-
listed quota necessary for the estab-
lishment of a unit in this city. The
matter has been taken up to some
extent with the local Post of the
American Legion and is meeting with
satisfactory results and it is quite
likely that in the next week suffi-
cient enlistments will have been Sc
cured.
In each squadron of Cavalry there
are three troops and headquarters
detachment AN of the troops have
been located and it is desired that
the headquarters detachment be To-
Gated in Mountain Home. This de-
tachment consists of two officers, "a
about twenty-five enlisted men The
detachment is made up Of radio
section, including the radio equip
ment and headquarters section,
which consists of staff sargeants, etc.
There will be no horses available
for this unit but upon going to camp
horses will be available, but the To-
cal station will be furnished with
the complete equipment so that they
will be able to use horses if they
have them of their own.
The privates in the unit will be
paid one dollar per drill and they
are entitled to six or seven drills
per month of one and one-half hours
duration. The two officers are on
a four drill basis and draw one-thir-
tieth of the base pay of their grade
in the regular army amounting to
about $6 drill. The state will fur
nish store rooms and drill halls. The
government, in addition, will pay for
the uniforms and equipment. An
nual encampments are held at Pay
cite Lakes two weeks in June at
which time a certain percentage
must be present in order to draw
pay.
The establishment of the local unit
would mean considerable to Noun
tain Home and to the younger boys
especially as it could be worked in
connection with the American Lee
gion and many benefits would un
doubtedly result The matter is
worthy one and is deserving of the
support of every enterprising resi-
dent Those who desire can secure
full PARTICULARS from Mr.. White.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN

On Friday, February s, 1889
the bill passed the State Legis-
lature, creating Gilmore and
Logon Counties. The occasion
was justly observed in Noun
tain Home and Rocky Bar.
Rocky Bar was named the
County Seat of Elmore Coun-
ty and Shoshone of Logon. The
matter of the creation Of the
two counties was taken up in
the Supreme Court before it
was finally settled in favor of
the new counties.

Unfairness 10 Connecticut cities n national compilations of motor yehi- cle fatalities has been brought to the attention of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce by the state motor vehicle department of Connee- ticut. Certain cities of this state have suffered by reason of the fact that reports of the deaths occurring in hospitals within cities as result of injuries caused by accidents else where are ehalked up in some of these national surveys as fatalities oceurr- ing in the cities.
 The difficulty arises from the fact that most of the national compilations of this character are based on reports obtained from the health departments or bureaus of vital statistics in the cities listed. These municipal depart ments and bureaus are not officially interested in the location of the ac. cident which caused a death in hospital within their city.
