and enormous country would people
like it if they could see it all in days

II don't believe they would. It's an
event to go from one part of the coun-
try to another.
Maybe they dream for years of the
time when they'll see what the West
looks like if they happen to live East
or what the East looks like il they
happen to live West-or they may
want to see it further North or down
South or along the Middle states!

of the miles and miles and miles and
miles and miles of ocean you've seen
and you'll think how beautiful 1t is to
see me In the morning when you get
up and in the evening when you go to

"Of course many travellers have said
they would never know which was

for they know you rise in the east and

Tod Browning has the largest cat in

Hence, little. friend of the family

Supreme Value of Books

God be thanked for books. They
are the voices of the distant and dead

BUMPER CROPS
in This SECTION
Farmers In Elmore And
Owyhee Counties Report
Excellent Crop
Conditions

Despite the fact that the first crop
OF alfalfa was little short, farmers
throughout Elmore County and in
the Bruneau and Grand View sec
tions report the indications are to
the effect that the second and third
crops will both produce excellent
yields.
Wheat throughout the district is
in fine condition and farmers are
prophesying that the grain will run
nearly fifty bushels to the acre,
which will be one OF the best yields
ever reported in this section. Ex-
eellent growing weather has particu-
larly favored the farmer during the
past few weeks. The rain Of last
Tuesday evening is reported not to
have affected the crop to any great
extent.
Tom Davis is now reported TO be
working his binder over time near
town, harvesting the grain crop and
the Groefsema Brothers have new
threshing outfit and they anticipate
a busy season owing to the large
acreage that had been planted.

ISSUE ELECTION

Decide To Postpone Elec-
tion For $250,000 Bond
Issue

At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Mountain Home Irri-
cation District, which was held last
Tuesday evening at the Office of o.
f. Norell 1t was decided to postpone
the bond issue election. which was
scheduled to have been held in the
near future.
The directors concluded to get an
engineer to go over the district thor
oughly and ascertain its require
ments TO place the system in FIRST
class condition and to make the nee
essary arrangements relative to the
purchase of the system from the
Brady interests in order to more
thoroughly advise the water users
just how the money win be spent af-
ter the bonds are issued
1t was felt that owing to some diff
ference OF opinion as to just what
would have to be done in the plac-
ing Of the district in good repair
that the issue would not pass and
this resulted in its withdrawal at
this time.

COMMISSIONERS
PLAN new ROAD
New Cutoff at Fall Greek
VIII Shorten Distance
and Eliminate Heavy
Grade

County Commissioners Howland,
Gaines and Blackwell made trip to
Atlanta last Saturday and Sunday
on a road inspection tour and as a
result of this trip many improve
ments in road conditions between
Mountain Home and the upper coun-
try may be anticipated.
One of the most beneficial results
of this inspection tour was the rec
ommendation that the road in the
vicinity of Fall creek be greatly inn
proved. 1t is the plan of the county
dads to have the new road leave the
old one at the school house, just this
side of Fall creek and cut across the
gulch and meet the old road again
at the top of the hill This is a very
commendable move as it will elimin-
ate bad turn at the crossing of
the stream as well as quite heavy
grade and will also shorten the dis
tance about three-quarters of a mile.
Elmore county is fortunate in hav-
ing a board of county commissioners
who are always awake to every pos
sibility of road improvement and has
resulted in Elmore county being ad-
vertised throughout the state as hav-
ing the best roads in the state.

More Direct Route To Cal
ifornia and Nevada To
Be Opened
Up

Another important road, connect
ing the 'old Oregon Trail" and the
North and South Highway" with
the Lincoln Highway and Nevada
and Southern California, has been
found and will be adopted as part
of the States system of highways,
according to word recently received
by the Republican. Steps are now
being taken to mark same with the
old familiar C. B. Sampson Orange
brand, symbolical with good roads
and good sportsmanship.
This connecting link is from
Mountain Home to Tuscaora, Nevada,
via Bruneau, Wickahoney Riddle,
Duck Valley Agency, and White
Rock, distance of about two hun
dred miles over bunch grass divides
and no heavy grades, connecting
with the Lincoln Highway making
a shorter and easier grade route than
any of the proposed routes hereto
fore considered.
While this road was one of the
earliest used roads in the history Of
the state it has never been called to
the attention of the touring public
until this year, but has been in con-
slant use by the settlers and stock in
terests in the tributary territory.
Immediate steps are being taken
by the State departments, the tour
ing sportsmen and citizens of the
community to map, mark and trans
form this mighty good road" into
a wonderful highway.
Scenic wonders of unbelievable
splendor are along and adjacent to
this road and in the country thus
made accessible, and the saving Of
many weary miles and long heart
breaking pulls, will make this direct
connection with California a most
one with the business and
touring public
Mountain Home is city of excel
lent roads and its citizens realize
that its business prosperity increases
in direct proportion to its progress
in road building and hospitality to
It's visitors.

Fidelity & Deposit Company
Confesses Judgment In
Amount of $2084 On
Treasurer's Bond

The case of EImore County versus
the Fidelity and Deposit Company
and The National Surety Company
and Florence OMAHA for an alleged
shortage in the funds of the former
county treasurer and tax collector
was ended in the district court last
Wednesday afternoon, after a short
session in which much of the techni-
cal testimony which was given at the
former hearing was rehearsed.
All of the testimony is now in.
The Fidelity & Deposit Company con-
fessed judgment in the amount of
$20S41S with interest from March
II, 1924, amounting to approximate
ly S194 and one half of the costs of
the case. This company was on Miss
OMalia's bond as county treasurer.
The National Surety Company,
which was on the bonds of the coun-
ty tax collector is still resisting the
alleged shortage of $7149.62, to-
gether with interest and the evil
dence in the case in this instance
will be submitted to Judge Brinck
on briefs and the court will then rem
der an opinion on this item.

PAYS TRIBUTE
TO JUDGE SMITH
J. J. Hohmann, of New York
City Writes Interest
ingly of Former
Resident

The Republican is in receipt of q
letter from ]. j. Hohmann, of New
York City, relative to a trip taken by
him in company with the late Judge
F. c. Smith, father of B. H. Smith OF
this city. Mr.. Hohmann is we'll
known in Idaho having been instru-
mental in the propaganda work
which actuated the building of the
RogeTson- Wells railroad which is
now nearly completed, and which
will tap one of the largest copper
mineralized districts in America at
Contact, Nevada.
Mr.. Hohmann's letter follows:
'In attempting cleanup of ac-
cumuated correspondence, / discov-
cred letter from the late F. C.
Smith who had been probate Judge
up to the time of his death. The let
ter from that good man and friend
made me reminiscent, as we had
been a great deal in each others
company.
81 shall never forget, going with
him to Mountain Home on one oe-
casion in an automobile. This trip
necessitated US to traverse that won
derful open tract of sage-brush land
or country. This tract consists ali
Of one million acres. This wonder
full tract is as vast as it is beautiful,
and is adjacent to Boise, the capital
Of Idaho, as well as Mountain Home,
covering a distance Of some forty
miles. It's unsurpassed splendor and
magnitude is really awe-inspiring
It suggests some thinking, and the
uppermost thought is, why has not
this beautiful God-given tract been
taken up and utilized long ago. tt
caused me to ponder, 1 tell you.
Whereupon the Judge asked me,
"Hohmann, what makes you so quiet
all at once?"
Il remember I replied, Judge, I'm
in consequence of what
1 am experiencing, Whats that he
asked?" I again replied, going over
the finest unclaimed tract of wild

TO TEST FOR
TUBERCULOSIS

The probabilities are that state
veterinarian can be secured soon to
test the dairy cattle in this vicinity
for tuberculosis. AS a tubercular
COW is very liable to give infected
milk, the health OF your herd should
not be left to guess work. If you
want your herd tested leave your
name, the number of stock you have
and the location of your farm at
the County Agents Office in the
Court House.
