 Structure in Kensin6ton SAVINGS BANK SPONSOR

Kensington will soon have a new post office building, 1t was announc- ed today by officials of the Berlin Savings bank.

 The new building will be of the same design, although on a larger scale, as the structure in which the bank is housed. It will be of brick, with front and rear entrances and a large platform in the rear for load ing and unloading mails and parcel post.
 The interior of the building will ne fitted out with the latest in post office equipment, including a burg far proof steel safe, combination stamping and sorting tables with steel racks for pouches, steel lockers and all the necessary furniture. A hot water system will be installed for heating purposes and power will he furnished for electric fans and lights.

WORK AT THE
MUNICIPAL WE'LL

After many delays and mishaps,
drilling has been resumed at the city
we'll and for several days the fore
part of the past week double shifts
were being worked but owing to the
fact that sand was encountered 1t
was necessary to stop drilling and
place some casing. Casing to a
depth of approximately 100 feet has
been put in place The hole has now
been narrowed down from the 10
inch hole which was started to 6 u
inches. The water now stands In
the well at about the $50 feet level,
which of course would make it a very
expensive pumping proposition, but
in case of an emergency as existed
last summer would help materially.
It is understood that il is now the
intention to proceed with the drill
ing to at least the fifteen hundred
foot level with the hope of striking
artesian water The drill has not
as yet penetrated the lake bed forma-
tion, underneath which 1t is expect
ed that the flow will be encountered.

ATTENDS MEETING
Of WOOLGROWERS
F. S. Gedney Attends Meet
ing of Idaho State Wool
growers Association
At Pocatello

f. S. Gedney, OF the Bruneau
Sheep Company and well known
sheepman OF this locality. returned
last Monday from Pocatello, where
he was in attendance at meeting
of the advisory board of the state
wool growers association. Mr.. Ged-
ney reports a very successful meet
ing wherein plans were devised that
will ultimately result benefcially for
the sheep and wool producers of this
state.
Mr.. Gedney states that it was de-
cided at this meeting to hold the
next state convention of this organ
ization next January at Idaho Falls.
that city offering special induce
ments to the members to hold their
conclave there.
He was appointed as a member of
committee to make plans for the
reception for the United States SEN
ate who will make trip TO this state
to go over the matter of supervision
of the public range with the sheep
owners.
One matter of especial interest to
members of the woolgrowers that was
brought out at the Pocatello meet
ing was the fact a decision has been
handed down by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to the effect that
there will be ordered a reduction on
frieght rates Of a minimum of 1000
pounds on a car shipment. This will
mean a reduction to that industry OF
approximately s25 per car on all
lambs shipped out Of Idaho. There
is also a probability that the ship
pers, who are members OF the organ
izations, which fostered this redue-
ton, will be given refund on their
shipments for the last two years.
Mr.. Gedney predicts very pros
porous year for the Idaho wool grow
er, indicating the strong market
price. which is now lowering around
AZ cents and a good demand This
price is considerably in excess OF the
price offered at this time last year
by the buyers. While, for some un-
known reason, the mutton market
has slumped but it is perdicted that
the late lambs will demand a good
price on an apparently raising mar
ket. He is particularly optimistic
Insofar as the Bruneau Sheep Com
pany is concerned, despite the fact
that the last winter necessitated con-
,iderable feeding as the company
viii have sufficient good range, con-
sequently will be able to operate
more economically. This company
Is now running around 10000 head
and are making plans for large in

Much can be done along the line
proposed in Mountain Home as the
dry season of last year left in its
wake considerable dead grass and a
few trees as well as the regular
amount of rubbish that accumulates
during the winter. Many vacant
lots are Uttered with trash and some
attention to these quarters could be
very benefcially given A little CO.
operation on the part of the prop
