SCHOOL BOND
ELECTION SOON
Will Ask For A 100000
Bond Issue For The Erec-
tion Of A New High
School

According to a notice published
elsewhere in this issue or the Re-
publican, the school trustees Of In
dependent School District No. 6,
will ask for a bond issue amounting
to one hundred thousand dollars for
the purpose Of repairing the pres
ent building, the gymnasium Of
which is now in badly delapidated
condition, and for the erection Of a
new high school building. The cleo
ton Of this bond issue will take
place on November 23rd and the
polling place will be at the local
school house.
AS to a matter Of necessity, there
will be few who will oppose the bond
issue on this ground, as most every
one will concede that with the un-
safe condition OF the present build
ing together with the crowded con-
dition, necessitating the renting Of
outside rooms, that the local district
is in sore need Of new building.
There may be some little opposition
Voiced owing to the financial CON
dition of this section at the present
time but when it is understood that
should the bonds pass the tax levy
for their redemption will be about
the same as last year The school
board through efficient management
have been enabled to cut the rate
from ten mills as of last year to
eight mills this year and should the
bond issue pass It will only mean
that the rate will be restored to
the same amount as last year or per-
haps to eleven mills. Taking these
figures into consideration it may be
readily seen that the bond issue will
not work hardship on any individ
ual and at the same time will be a
valuable asset to the community It,
SELF
The plans and specifications Of the
proposed new building are on dis
play at the office of Village Clerk
Anderson and the public are cor
daily invited to inspect them at any
time.

MERCHANTS BACKS
TOWNS WELFARE
Co Operation of Business
Men Contributes to The
Upbuilding Of Our
Community

The ambition of every merchant
in Mountain Home is to make thif
town the best, along the line.
This may be a selfish object on hie
part, but the fact remains that he
can prosper only if all the city
thrives, for it is obvious that little
money will be passed OYER his count
ers by people who have no money to
spend.
On the other hand, if there is no
idleness among the people, if the
factories and mills are running full
capacity and all the families in
town are living in comfort, with
every prospect of good times in the
future, their well-being is reflected
in the trade that comes to the mer-
chants store
No Mountain Home merchant,
depends on mere wishing to bring
prosperity to this town and to make
it grow. He does not doze in his
easy chair and dream dreams about
outsiders coming in to settle, with
out helping to create magnet to
attract them. When he argues for
better schools and improved streets
it is not in the expectation that his
share is to be mere words while other
property owners foot the tax bills.
If that were all there is to it for
him, he would not deserve to be
partner in the successful achieve
ments of this community.
Every merchant in this town
backs up his confidence in this town,
in its prosperity an dthe prosperity
of those in it and in its future as a
rising member of this splendid COM
monwealth, by his hard-earned dol
lars. Before he can obtain cent of
profit, he must offer a big stock of
the goods the public wants, attrac-
lively displayed in a conveniently

DISTRICT COURT
ON november 9
Adjourned Session of Court
To Take Up Matter Of
Boys Who Robbed
Hammett Store

On November 9th Judge Dana
Rrinck will preside at the adjourned
session of the District Court in this
city. Aside from a number of civil
cases that will likely be disposed of
the case of the State of Idaho versus
Robert Lewis, Jack West and John
Lanzaveechia, who plead guilty to
the robbing of Fred Walters pool
hall at Hammett, will likely be con-
cluded. The boys plead guilty to the
charge some time ago but owing to
the youth of the lads, Judge Brinck
was reluctant to give them a peni-
tentiary sentence and he has made
arrangements whereby it will be pos
eible for him to give them SEN
tence to the state prison and to sus-
pend the sentence and parole them TO
the State Industrial School This
will place the youths in position
where they will have to adhere to
the rules of the school or be forced
to serve their term in state prison.
About the only civil action of any
interest will be a contested divorce
case wherein Anna Casterlin is the
plaintiff and Don S. Casterlin the
defendant. The grounds for the di-
vorce is cruelty and Mrs. Casterlin
will be represented by Attorney w.
T. Stafford of Gooding and Mr.. Cas-
terlin by Attorneys White and Prout
of this city.

LENA Rivers" that old heart ia

Carleton players at the Coliseum last
night proved to have the perfectly
proportional amount of pathos and
humor in it to- make a perfect even
tng's entertainment. AS they have
already proven to Gardiner audience
es the players are equally good in
serious scenes as they are in those
of lighter vein. The opening scene
of LENA Rivers" is laid in Granny
Nichols old New England home,
where Grant, personified by Miss
Vivian Mayo, and Josiah Scovendyke
are seen in friendly conversation.
The irresistible Richard Lloyd has
an excellent chance to show his tall
ent for making his audience laugh in
the part of Joel Slocum. who despite
his awkward country ways is true

role is ably assumed by the capti-
waiting Miss Peggy Martin.
