ers; Much Development
Contemplated

Mining men representing several
different groups of capital have been
busily engaged, the past ten days, in
examining properties in the upper
country. Upon their return they
all expressed themselves as favorably
impressed with the mineralized zone
which they examined, and although
admitting that they had, in most in
stances, entered into development
contracts on properties owned by To-
cal people, they did not wish to di-
yulge the extent or any of the de-
tails of their activities, at this time.
Development work at Rocky Bar,
under the direction of Major Worth,
engineer in charge, is progressing
and the camp shows more real ac-
tivity than it has for some time past.
The White Eagle Mining Co.. on
the Black Warrior, better known to
old timers as the tOverlook" has
progressed to the extent of the re-
sumption of milling. The old mill
is once more grinding in the old
sweet way and the lonesome old hills
are treated to the sound of the blast,
the stamp, the tram and the hoist.

GIRLS ENJOY A
"HOBO HIKE

Last Tuesday evening the Girls
Reserve had a "HObo Hike" There
were about forty girls that met at
the home Of Miss Emma Blunk, they
were most all dressed in boys attire
with tin cups tied at their waist in
the regular hobo fashion. They left
for the railroad track and about five
thirty praded through town beating
cans and making all possible noise
They headed west and after walking
for about a mile, some abandoned
the track, saying 1t was too hard
walking. They all walked in groups
of FIVE or six and some groups stopped
passing cars and nad them take them
to their destination. One group of
girls could not get a car to stop for
them, so the FOLLOWING plan was US
ed One girl laid down beside the
road and sweaters and such were
thrown over her One girl stood in
the middle of the road with dis
tressed look upon her face while the
others grouped themselves around.
When a car did come by the girls got
it to stop and one said: please Mis-
ter will you give us a lift for about
mile" BY this time the fainting
girl was rising and the man saw the
joke was on him.
Arriving at their destination lunch
was passed out in a hand to hand
fashion
All arrived home early in the
evening proclaiming the grand time
that they had.

ASSISTS HIGH
REALTY VALUES
Shopping in Large Cities
Helps Pay Huge Rentals
on Ever Increasing
Realty Values

"Twenty-nine steps from the high
rent district
This Identical slogan is well
known to readers of the display ad-
vertisements in the papers published
in certain large city in this coun-
try. In substance it is well known
to the readers of the advertisements
in any large city, because the closer a
store is to the center of congestion in
that city, the greater is it's overhead.
Taken inversely, it is also true
that as the site is at some distance
from that center, the lower is its
overhead, other things being equal
The rule works out with such ex-
actness that the rise or fall in this
overhead can be. calculated with ev-
cry pace of that distance, as the ad-
vertiser mentioned in the foregoing
has demonstrated.
Where many persons are crowded
together the cost of living is forced
up as a result. The greater the con-
gestion the higher the cost. To re-
lieve this congestion and make 1t
possible for the man with moderate
income to live in comfort and to pro-
vide for his family adequately, there
is a centrifugal movement in every
large city from the downtown sec
tion to the suburbs On a large scale,
but for the same end, there is the
movement from city to country
'fback to the farm" or to the small
town
The balance is restored by the
time the movement is continued for
some time from the big city to, say,
Mountain Home. 1t is like a light
ming rod that draws from the clouds
the charge of high voltage and so
keeps the storm clouds from storing
up a force that might hurl bolt
earthward and wreak great destruc-
tion.
1t costs a huge sum to run store
on a desirable downtown corner in a
large city, and the cost for the ex-
ira charge is assessed upon every
person buying goods there. The site
on which the famous Flatiron build
ing in New York is located is a good
example of this. Everybody wants
that corner, and the competition for
its possession has raised the price to
a fabulous sum. In the same way

TOURIST TRAVEL
DESERVES notice
Large Volume Of Travel
Through Mountain Home
Means Much To Busi-
ness Firms

In other places and other states
the citizens have realized the value
of the tourist travel to such an ex-
tent that they have found it feasible
to better their roads, their streets,
their parks, their businesses and
their living condition, by virtue of
the profits from the extra business
created by said tourists.
It is estimated that more than 50,-
600 cars pass through Mountain
Home during the five and one half
months of the heaviest travel, as
suming that there is an average of
three person to a car, that means
more than 10000 people pass
through Mountain Home during five
and one half months to say nothing
OF the Idaho cars passing to and fro
on business trips.
A little more attention to the
needs Of the tourist, a little more
real warm courteous welcome and
we believe that the tourist would
tarry longer with US and Mountain
Home would get a more equitable
proportion of the vacation money
spent by the aforesaid tourist in the
towns Of Southern Idaho, and the
tourist would appreciate the super
ior service and prices which prevail
here.
The Chambers of Commerce in
every city and town on
the Oregon Trail are deyising ways
and means 80 advertise in such a
manner as to attract the tourist trav-
ell The enormous travel passing
through here should cause the eiti-
zens Of Mountain Home to turn this
to account after it has made
a beaten path to its door.

PROGRESS Being
MADE ON WELL
Drilling In Fifth Water
Bearing Strata Gravel
In This Strata Is Very
Coarse

Work is progressing slowly but
steadily at the city well. Four water
bearing stratas have been penetrated
and passed below the 1880 foot lev
Ell, and the drilling Is now contin-
uing in the fifth water bearing
strata All of these water flows have
been hot. Water which is now
drawn from the we'll is quite warm,
in spite of having been drawn
through 700 feet of cold water. The
water level in the well is a little
less than 800 feet below the surface
OF the ground.
The drilling has been somewhat
delayed, to the fact that a cave-in
seemed to threaten at the 1850 foot
level but the hole has been cased
down to within a few feet of the
drill. so that work can continue more
rapidly
The strata in which the drill is
now being operated is composed of
very coarse gravel Pebbles which
are bailed out in this strata vary in
size from one-fourth to three-fourths
OF an inch in diameter Driller
O'Connor states that If this forma-
ton Is sufficiently thick, that it will
probably make a flowing well. The
formation itself Is sufficiently heavy
so that there will be no danger OF
pipes being clogged by fine sand that
existed in the higher formations.
IT Is impossible to know at what
depth water under sufficient pres
sure to insure a permanent flowing
we'll will be reached, but indications
point to an artesian well within a
hundred or hundred and fifty feet.

When you attempt to speed in

bureau of the Automobile Club of
Southern California through the con-
gested districts of Los Angeles
The tests IL is pointed out, demon
strated that ii is extremely doubtful
II the time saved by hurrying and
exceeding the speed limit pays for
the extra gasoline used and the brake
lining worn by the drivers trying to
cut down time. Not only is the time
saved fractional, 1t is said, but the
hurrying motorist endangers not only
his own life and car, but thousands
of other lives and tens of thousands
of automobiles. .'-
Record of Scout Cars.
Records of scouting cars that were
operated on three different routes
through the city limits of Los An

order to make the tests impartial and
accurate, each route was first ira

the limit in Is and 90 mile zones by
FIVE miles wherever possible and TAX

over the same route a second time,

conforming strictly to the mandates
of the law and rules of safe and eff
cient driving.
A summary OF these trips over diff

Good Psychology.

one of the proud boasts Of the new
- Earle Theater is the comfort of
its service.
When the plans for Its inside
adornment and furnishing were un-
der consideration the designers were
confronted with a proposition, appar-
emily Insignificant to many, but more
or less vital to the success of the
house. And it was simply whether it
would be wiser to cater to the box
Office OF to the patrons in the matter
of seats.
BY allowing a space of SO inches
between the rows of chairs in both
auditorium and balcony, it was found
that patrons might stretch their legs,
instead of being compelled to sit in a
cramped position, a vital matter
when it comes to the enjoyment of a
theatrical performance. But to allow
this space 1t was also found that 1t
would be necessary to sacrifice more
than 100 choice seats In seating ca
pacity.
The Earle had been constructed
with height, depth and width unsur-
passed in any theater in Washington.
1t had been beautifully adorned with
an attractive color scheme, draperies
and chandeliers for pleasing lighting
effects. This was all for the comfort
of the patrons. Why not continue
the plans in the matter of seats, for
n comfortable seat is vital to the en-
joyme1t of any performance. 80.
And so the 100 or more seats were
sacrificed to the dismay of the box
office interests solely that the patrons
might stretch their legs during the
performance and be comfortable. And
that is why the mana cement is boast
ing of the Earle's service

MOTORIST is COMING
TO NEW BUYING VIEW
Local Dealer Says Not Just Cars
But Transportation Is to
Be Considered.

What is the next big Improvement
in motordom?
Oscar Coolican, local automobile
dealer, answers this much asked
question by transferring attention
from the car to the car owner
we have at the present time cars
that will meet all requirements in a
most economical and trustworthy
fashion," he says, "and the success of
motoring would be complete with
but a few fundamental improvements
in car ownership.
"All indications seem to support
the belief that motordom's next big
improvement will be found in a new
attitude toward car ownership. Lit
tie by little motorists are learning
that the point is to buy transporta-
tion, not just cars.
''If the average owner today were
to look back over his experience for
the past 10 years he would be amazed
to find that he has been buying auto
mobiles, selling points, paint jobs,
mechanical features and other things
which, while worth considering, are
not fundamental. In none of his buy
ing has he considered the mater OF
transportation, and particularly the
efficiency of transportation.
The day is fast approaching, how
ever, when the situation will be en-
tirely reversed, for it is being rap
idly reversed by thousands of owners
who have discovered that the older
order of buying will not do. The
average owner will soon be saying
I've just gone on a new and finer
transportation basis. He Will not
say, L have just bought a new car,
for the car itself will be but a part
of the ownership plan.
When a man patronizes a first
class railroad system he feels that
he is buying the best, and therefore
the cheapest, in rail transportation
He does not think of each individual
car he rides in as a separate trans
portation purchase.
I'VE are going to see this sort OF
thing repeated in the buying Of motor
transportation because 1t is progress
sive. We are going to see the typi-
cal car owner selecting the motor
transportation organization that Of
fers the most attractive conveyance
the most econ nomical and most trust
worthy, plus the best national and
local service, the lowest depreciation

MOTOR REFORMS
NOW IN PROSPECT
Revival of Time-Honored
Rules Foreseen by A. A. A.
General Manager.

Reviving a number OF time -honored
reforms will be a prominent feature
of local motoring Improvement during
the Winter season, according to
Ernest n. Smith, general manager OF
the American Automobile Association
Despite tho progresslveness usually
displayed by the automobilist, Mr.
Smith declares, a large number OF
fundamentals have been lost during
the past year and thousands of car
owners have literally to begin all
over again IL they expect to bring
their motoring strictly down to date.
Accordingly the A. A. A. will revive
former campaigns against the nuis-
ance of smoking motors, against the
waste of fuel that accompanies un-
protected engines In Winter, and
against the danger of falling to make
provisions for driving over ice and
snow covered streets.
Frozen Radiators Cited AS Example.
THE number of owners who were
caught with frozen radiators In the
first cold snap OF the Winter season,
says Mr.. Smith, els exactly what used
to be expected in the days before
motorists had sufficient experience
There. Is no excuse for such neglect
in this day and age of motoring, but
the situation exists, and we must re-
vive our reforms accordingly.
Every responsible owner should
he equipped with Winter efficiency
devices, such as radiator shutters
chains for all four wheels. and heat
ers. Yet this year the percentage OF
owners taking such fundamental
matters into consideration is alarm
ingly low. 1t means low efficiency
i
and perhaps accidents as the inevi-
table result.
Smoking Motors n Nuisance.
Five years ago the motor clubs
were campaigning against the nuis-
ance and danger of smoking motors
There were imm ediate results such
as to warrant the hope that the evil
had been eliminated, yet today the
number of owners driving cars with
