PRESENT YEAR
NEARS THE END
Present Year Drawing Fin
al Breath; Prediction Is
Made That 1t Cannot
Survive Longer

The Year 1924 is now making its
final gasps for existence and by the
time that this paper is in the hands
OF it's readers the old mans doom
will be sealed and he will no doubt
have passed into history.
No great regrets will be felt by
the greater portion of the people of
this section as during his life time
he has not been any too kind nor
considerate. He was ushered In last
year with an exceptionally dry win
ter and having come into existence
he did not try to improve his con-
dition at any time during his life.
In fact the summer of last year was
the 'driest that has ever been exper-
fenced in this entire section and as
a result farming and stock interest
have suffered considerably and busi-
ness in general has been hampered
on this account. In addition to the
weather conditions that accompan-
led the past year market conditions
also lent their bit in making things
just as dlsagreeable as possible for
all interests.
With the advent OF 1926 a much
brighter prospect is clearly visible.
Weather conditions up to the pres
ent date have practically assured the
people OF this section that there will
be a sufficient supply of water to
meet their needs and in addition to
this fact the farmers are now TAX
ing irrigation and storage matters
into their own hands and have plans
made for the organization of an ir-
rigation district that will assure
them of an economical adminsistra-
ton of all matters in connection
Herewith
In addition to the improved condi-
tion insofar as an adequate supply
of water, prices on practically every
commodity are all on the up
grade. Sheep and wool, one of
the main products of this section are
steadily climbing to a post war f.
gure, cattle, while the general trend
Is somewhat slower are also coming
into their own, farm products gener-
ally will also reap a long deserved
Mining activity in this i'm
mediate section will very likely be
revived and summing up the whole
situation, 1925 presents very en-
couraging outlook for Mountain
Home and Gilmore County in gem

HOW A DAIRY HERD
HELPS THE FARMER

The dairy herd conserVes and even
increases soil fertility, assuring good
yields of farm crops in future years
At the same time the herd provides
sure, prompt, and profitable outlet
for grains and roughages grown on
the farm Land that supports good
dairy herds becomes richer year by
year, whereas land devoted to rails

becomes sadly depleted, unless care
fully managed and unless CONNER

with it $3.50 worth of plant food;

WEATHER IS NOW
MORE FAVORABLE
Moderation of Weather Is
Welcomed BY This En-
tire Section of
Idaho

Following a cold spell, during
which the thermometer descended to
the low mark of forty-one below zero,
the weather moderated last Monday
to a considerable extent. According
to weather records compiled in Boise,
1t is stated that this has been the
longest and coldest spell that Idlho
has undergone in the past sixty-one
years.
A slight rise in the temperature
last Sunday resulted in snow
storm, which brought the snow up
to about twelve inches on the level.
A further drop in the temperature
on Monday resulted in a rain which
has continued the greater part of the
time since. Travel both by pedes-
trians and vehicles has been more or
less hampered for the past few days
owing to the soft condition Of the
streets and the fee on the sidewalks.

WORK RESUMED
ON CITY WELL
Cold Weather Delays Drill
ing Operations Is
Cased One Thousand
Feet

Drilling operations have been re-
sumed on the municipal well after
a delay of several days, which was
necessitated by the recent cold
weather However, before the last
cold snap the casing had been put
down for one thousand feet and the
drill was started but the freezing of
the water at the site made further
progress impossible.
Owing to the shortage of water in
the city and the inconvenience suf-
fered last week when the water was
turned off on account of the lack of
power makes it very desirable that
this work be rushed to an early con-
clusion and the Republican has been
assued that operations will contin-
ue as long as weather conditions will
possibly permit.
The entire city water system was
incapacitated last week owing to the
turning off of the elecric power,
which permitted the pumps to freeze
up and considerable time and diff
Guilty were required to get the sys-
tenn in operation again. The fact
that the water was turned off and
the pressure was so low resulted in
many frozen water pipes that other
wise would no doubt have weathered
the zero temperatures.

GREAT LOSS
IN BOISE FIRE
Early Morning Blaze Re
suits In Tremendous Loss
In Idaho's Capital
City
Trade at Home

Relative to the terrific fire which
ragged for several hours early last
Tuesday morning the Capital News
says as follows:
The Merino building, Tenth and
Idaho streets, owned by the Robert
Noble estate, was consumed by fire
at an early hour Tuesday morning.
The fire monster, taking firm grip
on the building and its contents, in
hicted an estimated loss of more than
100000, according to J. F. Colvin,
building superintendent. The confia-
CATION was reported to the fire de-
partment at 1:15 a. m. by Charles
Fell, interurban motorman, who was
returning to his home in the second
floor of the building. Flames, start
ing near a basement furnace, had
evidently been burning unseen for
some time and were well under way.
The blaze crept stealthily from the
basement to the first floor and was
soon shooting its fleming tongues
into the midnight air After hours
of stubborn lighting the fire in the
basement was yet unchecked at a
late hour Tuesday afternoon.

STORAGE WATER
is AVAILABLE
100000 Acre Feet Can Be
Secured From American
Falls Cost Appears
Excessive

The local Chamber of Commerce
have again taken up the proposition
of securing storage water from the
American Falls Reservoir with Con-
gressman Addison T. Smith and the
Reclamation Department. Accord
ing to a letter received by the Re
publican recently from the Congress-
man he Informed us that approx
mately 100000 acre feet could be
secured from American Falls. How
ever, 1t is believed that this project
would not be feasible, owing to the
excessive cost, which is stated to be
around $1S5 per acre, according to
a survey compiled several years ago.
Considerable dissatisfaction has
been expressed to this estimate as 1t
has been stated that many items
were over estimated and IT was quite
apparent that the report had been
padded. Despite the fact that con-
siderable portion of the cost of this
survey was met locally, copy has
never been received here and Con-
gresham Smith has assured us that
we would receive a copy. Upon re-
eeipt of this estimate should it be
evident that it is excessive, it is
quite likely that re-survey will be
requested.
