ROADS HAMPER
AUTO TRAVEL

Roads between this city and Boise
are reported to be in bad condition.
The worst stretch of the road is be-
tween Sunnyside and from there right
up to Bannock street in the capital
city. 1t is with some pleasure that
we note that Boise has voted bonds
to build the approach to the new de-
pot and as long as they are in the
business it might not be a bad idea
for them to make it possible for the
motorist to approach the city. The
streets through South Boise would
remind one of the back alley in the
little old town back home.

Town Team Defeats Boise
City National Bank, For
Three Years Champions
Of Boise

One of the best basketball games
to be staged in this city was held last
Tuesday evening when the Town
Team defeated the team of the Boise
City National Bank to the tune of
23 to Is. The visitors were loud in
their praise of the true sportsman
ship and good treatment accorded
them at the hands of the local team,
and despite the fact that they were
defeated all stated that it was done
fair and square and that the local
players surely put up clean game.
Owing to so many social activities
of last week only a fair crowd wit
messed the game.
The line up of the two teams was
as follows: Boise City National Bank,
Kahn and Bancroft, forwards; Tu-
tril, center; Mcleod and Venn,
guards; substitutes Newton, Clark
and Tucker. Mountain Home, Love
and Ottenheimer, forwards; Hanley,
center; Sethen and Tye, guards;

is thought probable that a return

Saturday evening.

WEATHER Man
ON RAMP AGE
Precipitation of Month of
January Said To Have
Been the Heaviest in
Past Fifteen Years

The weather man again went on
the rampage in this vicinity the fore
part of the week and gave this en-
tire section a thorough wetting. "Un-
usual is the description given by
most OF the older residents but be it
unusual or not it has certainly been
welcomed by the entire populace. In
many sections 0f~the city it was
necessary to dig drains in order to
prevent the water from entering
Easements. On Saturday, according
to the weather report furnished by
Judge Manion there was .23 inches
of moisture fell; Monday, Is and on
Tuesday, .65. 1t is stated by the old
er residents of the city that this has
been the wettest winter experienced
in this section in the past fifteen
years. Fifteen years ago it is re-
ported that there was so much wa
ter on Front Street that it would
reach the waist of a man and in
some instances boats were used to get
to the railroad station.
"Bill" Love, who has been so used
to conserving water, the other day
tried to food one of the rooms of his
home, possibly thinking that if he
got the house full Of water that he
would be able to save it until next
summer.

discovered that the machine was in

Bean CULTURE
INTERESTS FARMERS
Many Local Farmers Be
coming Interested in The
Culture of Beans; Sey-
eral Will Plant

Through the efforts Of local busi-
ness men many Of the farmers on
the Mountain Home tract are becom-
ing interested in the culture OF beans
and already numerous men have sig
niied their intention Of putting in a
fairly large acreage. It is estimated
that ii we can secure a hundred acres
Of beans IN this locality this year
that that will be sufficient for the
purchase of a huller OF will be an
lnducement for some outsider to
come in and harvest the crop.
The fact that the acreage immed-
lately surrounding this city is 50
limited the farmers would seek
a crop that would bring in more
ready money. AS the situation now
stands the farmers raise alfalfa and
ordinarily are unable to sell it. De-
spite the unusual shortage Of hay
during the past year there are still
several thousand tons OF alfalfa yet
standing in the fields. The yield
from an acre Of beans so far exceeds
that Of a forage crop and the market
is practically assured and this fact
also should be Of sufficient weight to
have considerable inaluence on
local farmers.
While we have not the acreage
that is planted annually at the Twin
Falls tract, yet at the same time we
have the natural conditions that
would assure the harvest. Last year
alone the bean crop in the Twin
Falls section brought the farmers
over s2,000,0O0 in revenue.

IN BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF EDUCA-
TION and for the benefit of the students in the
public schools of Milford the fact is made known
for general information of parents and others,
that the admission of former students, who have
been removed from the schools, either by their
own action, or desire of the parents or for other
reasons, are not permitted to visit the schools
during any period Of the day during the school
year; except when on business. In this event.
they must enter the business Office of the super
intendent and not loiter, either in or out of the
buildings on the school ground. This has been
made imperative by reason of several former
students in the Milford schools, entering the
study hall, or even the grade rooms and by their
presence interfere with the work of other chill
dren. The children who desire to study must
not be prevented from giving their attention to
their work, by those who have quit the school,
and those whose only object in going there dur
ing the school day. is to meet other boys OF girls
for other than study or educational effort In
the future boys who offend in this particular
way, will be given cause to make explanation
through the legal channels Of the lower courts.
Within the past month, several instances of this
character have occurred and in justice to the
it will be broken up at once. The mid
year examinations will be made known this
week and those of the high school will be more
satisfactory than were those of last year. IT is
to prohibit all social and purely per-
3onal visiting by those who were former stu
tents and have left the school for sufficient
cause to bring up the work of all the grades in
he school.

The WISDOM shown by the Federal Govern
Inent' when laws were enacted that prohibited
shooting wild ducks and geese after February
first, each year, just before they start their
flight to the breeding grounds in the far north
lands is shown by the greatly increased num-
Der OF ducks and geese that have been in the
south this winter on the waters and marshes in
all parts of the United States By prohibiting
determination of these wild fowl in their nor
thern migratory flights, thousands return to
their breeding grounds to reproduce and replen-
ish the docks when they come south again for
the remaining part of the year. which affords
shooting and excellent food for the people later
when the season reopens. Enforcing the game
laws and prohibiting determination of the game,
is the only way to provide for the future and
those who come after the present generation
The pot hunter and selfish man or woman has
no care for the future, whose only desire is to
get the gain to be extracted for their individual
pleasure and profit. Those who have been in
the southern shooting grounds this winter,
agree, that the number Of wild geese, ducks and
brant very closely approach that of thirty years
ago; and, it is the result of protecting the game
from the spring shooting along the coast and
lakes, while the game is in flight to their habi-
-ats in the northland. They have enemies
snOngh there to make their safety matter of
careful thinking if they are to be preserved for
he future.

MILFORD is HAVING Henry Ridgley, Esq, of
Dover, draw several bills to be introduced in the
legislature, which are very important to the
town. One of these is a refunding act which will
enable the town to provide for the light and wa
ter bonds which will become due and payable in
1927; also for refunding loan of $4,000 now
drawing six per cent at lower rate of inter
est. Another act will provide for the enlarge
ment of the town limits from their present lines
which have stood since 1897, or since the John
son Survey. These bills will have to be passed
at this session so as to take care of the bonds
but the one having to do with the boundry en-
largement, will have a clause which will require
that the decision shall be made by a referendum
and the approval of the voters before it can be
put into effect. Another provides for complete
sewer system by completing the projects which
were started twenty years ago; and, this will
also have to be approved by the people at an
election held for that especial purpose, to vote
whether to bond the town for an additional for
ty thousand dollars to do that work. The prob
lens are all living issues which will have to be
met in the approaching years, and it is wise to
provide for that by legislation which will en-
able it to be accomplished when the people say
they want it done.
