FORMER RESIDENT OF
BRUNEAU is SOUGHT

Dave Bourne, very well known in
this visinity, where he was for sew
eral years the mail carrier between
Mountain Home and Bruneau, as
well as beng generally credited
with the discovery of Jarbridge, is
sought by the authorities of Long
Beach, California, for having, so say
telegraphic reports and letters from
the police department of that city,
cashed a check drawn upon an al
legged account with the Bruneau State
Bank through the Branch Bank of
Italy of Long Beach, for the tidy
little sum of eight hundred dollars.
Bourne had no deposit with the
Bruneau bank-has had none for
several years, we learn. This in
formation was forwarded the Bank
of Italy by our local institution, af-
ter which the search for Bourne be-
came matter of police activity
throughout the west.
Being identified at the bank by a
friend, Bourne opened an account by
depositing a check for $500, drawn
on Bruneau State Bank. The bank
advanced him at that time $50; a
few days later he cashed a check at
the same bank for 1925 and later
cashed still another check at the
same bank, this time for 1925, all
cashed against his $500 check with
which he opened account and which
proved to be bogus.
There is little doubt that he will
in time be apprehended by the au-
thorities for somehow trick of this
character rarely turns otherwise
than to the disfavor of the trickster.

ROAD CONDITIONS
ARE NOT so GOOD

Travellers arriving in the city the
forepart of the week state that the
road between Mountain Home and
Glenns Ferry is quite soft although
the trip is being made many times
daily by autos. The highway be-
tween Mountain Home and Boise is
said to be passable. That part of
the highway in Elmore County is
causing very little complaint but the
part in Ada County is causing mo-
torists more or less trouble as 1t is
very soft and slippery. Chains are
being used by motorists.

HEAVY SNOW ON
TUESDAY night
This Section Covered With
Six Inch Blanket Of
Heavy Snow Wed
nesday Morning

Mountain Home people were sur
prised last "Wednesday morning tc
see a heavy blanket of snow, measur-
ing about six inches in depth, Gov
ering the ground. On Tuesday morn.
ing there was a light covering al
though not so heavy.
Recent arrivals from the Upper
County last Saturday state that there
is still considerable snow in that
section. About nine feet on the sum
nit, four feet at Rocky Bar, two and
one-half feet at Pine and Feather
Vile and about one foot at Dixie. All
of the above measurements were tax
en- before the two last storms and
without doubt considerable has
been added.
There is no doubt at the present
time as to the water supply for the
coming year and it is stated by those
familiar with the amount of mois-
ture required to fill the Mountain
Home reservoir, that without
doubt the storms of the past week
will provide sufficient water to fill
this reservoir.

VARIOUS SITES
ARE INSPECTED
Architect Scott Goes Over
Proposed Sites For The
New High School
Building

Architect c. w. Scott, of the ar
chitectural firm of Scott & Welch, OF
Salt Lake City, Utah, was in Noun
tain Home last Tuesday to confer
with the members of the school board
relative to the selection of a site for
the new building to plot out the To-
cations so that the patrons of the
district might much more intelli-
gently express themselves relative to
selection These plots will be cir
gether with the petitions that are
now in circulation.
Proponents of the triangular site,
which is Immediately adjacent to the
site of the present building state that
the lot may be secured for $3.50
plus about $3.50 in delinquent taxes.
They state that while the price may
be a little higher than that of the
Harley property, the difference in the
cost of the installation of a central
heating plant will over come the diff
terence III lue COSt VI ShC wv SANo'
and that more ground will be secured
by the acceptance of the former pro-
position. Another big feature of this
location is the possible attractive
ness of the school grounds if the two
buildings are placed nearer together.
Should this site be selected 1t is
the plan to set the building about
opposite the entrance of the city
park facing toward the old building,
at least that is the advice of the ar
chitect. who prepared the plans.
Those favoring the Harley site are
loud in its praise largely owing to-
the difference in price, this property
can be secured for $500. Should
the building be placed on this prop
erty it is stated that it could be set
facing right up Jackson Avenue,
thus being very clearly visible from
the local depot and from the Oregon
Trail.
Those favoring the Bennett site
do so largely from a monetary stand
point as this property has been of
fered free of charge to the district,
which of course is a consideration to
be given careful study.

PUBLIC OPINION
TO SELECT SITE
School Board Decides To
Circulate Petitions On
Sites For New
Building

A meeting of the board of trustees
OF Independent School District No.
+, was held the forepart of the week
and it developed at the meeting that
The board was at more or less of
dead lock relative to the site for the
new building and Chairman o. e.
Cannon did not put the question to a
vote. It was evident that three mem
bers favored the triangle site, one
the Harley site, one the Bennett site
and the other member did not give
an expression as to his preference.
Several days ago a meeting of the
Mountain Home Commercial Club
was held for the expressed purpose
OF securing an expression of the peo-
pie as to their preference and at that
meeting sentiment seemed strongly
to favor the triangle site located ad-
Joining the property upon which
the present building is situated. This
expression, however, did not appear
to be sufficient for the members of
the board to make a decision conse-
quently petitions are being circulat-
ID as we go to press, with the idea
that a more general expression of
public sentiment can be secured 1t
is understood that the members Of
the school board have agreed
amongst themselves to stand by the
decision Of the people in this matter
and to comply with the wishes of the
majority as will be evidenced by the
petitions.
AS the matter now stands consid-
cradle time has been consumed by
the board in this matter and 1t now
seems that the time is opportune to
make a decision and let the actual
work of construction get under way
as a very short time now remains in
order to have the building erected
and ready for occupancy at the be-
ginning Of the term in the coming
fall
