Glenns Ferry, April Z Especial tc
The Republican)-The first baseball
game of the season on the local dia-
mond was played between Shoshone
High School boys and Glenns Ferry
High School At times the game
was very close as in the first two in
nings But they seemed to slow up
for some reason and Krauth, pitcher,
for Glenns Ferry, pitched good ball
but the full nine innings was too
much for him for his first game.
The Shoshone pitcher stayed the
full nine innings. He weakened in
the fifth and sixth innings but came
back strong and finished the game
Cecil Eldridge was hit with apitched
ball as also was one of the Shoshone
players.
Both returned to the game and
played to the finish. The score was
"a to 13 in favor of Shoshone,
though te score was large it does
not indicate. that there was not some
good plays made. The fans should
turn out and encourage the boys. It
helps the boys TO know you take an
interest in their games. Mr.. Nc
Cuaig. Glenns Ferry coach was well
pleased with the showing made by
the local team made on their first
game. Let us all attend from now
on and encourage the players.

WATER Meeting
SATURDAY EVENING
Water Users Meet For Dis
cussion Of Local Wa
ter Situa-
tion

In view of the fact that an actual
water shortage exists a meeting OF
the water users on the local protect
was held last Saturday evening at
the Office of the Mountain Home r.
rigation District for the purpose of
discussing plans for the distribution
of the water. About forty farmers
were present and after some discus
sion it was decided to leave the mat
ter of the distribution of the water
up to the irrigation organization,
but the matter that was especially
stressed was the fact that in case a
farmer did not wish to accept his
water and to hold it in storage that
he would be forced to stand the loss
sustained in the reservoirs.
The farmers present stated that
they were all planning on as large an
acreage this year as heretofore al
though they have added crops that
will mature earlier and with the
amount of water that will be avail
able.
District Engineer Spofford stated
to those present at the meeting that
he could assure the farmers of one
acre foot at the present time and
with very good indications of more
water later.

Moore, University Extension Poultry
Specialist and Mrs. S. e. Hyde prom
inent turkey breeder conducted the
meeting and talked Of the possibili-
ties for turkey growing in this sec
ton. 1t was maintained that owing
to large bodies OF comparative waste
land an unusual opportunity exists
for the person who will produce good
turkeys for the market. Past ex-
perience through the Turkey associa-
tion has proven that Idaho turkeys
command very high price and that
a few favored sections in the west,
including Idaho, can get a higher
price on account OF the fine quality.
Discussion was held on advisable
ity of using incubators and brooding
artihcially Although this is prae-
tised successfully by a few 1t was
not advocated for general adoption,
and the old turkey hen was coneed-
ed to be the safest for general con
ditions
Among other subjects taken up at
this meeting were: breeding, feed
ing of young poults and ranging
of flock. fattening for market, kill
ing and dressing. After the meeting
trip was made TO the poultry farm
of James Beach to inspect the fur
mace type broods- which is in use
there and which is recommended
very highly where artificial brood

DISTRICT COURT
HOLDS session
District Judge Harrison Pre-
sides in Short Session
Of The District
Court

District Judge Harrison presided at
a session of the district court in this
city during the past week. A venire
of thirty-five jurymen were sum-
moned and were in attendance the
greater part of the week.
The first case to be tried was that
of Glen e. Sebern and others versus
Edward Poulton, ct al and was for
the collection of $297 damages sus-
tanned by the turning of some horses
off the range. This was jury case
and after deliberation the verdict
was rendered in favor of the defend
ant. Attorneys in the case were
j. A. Smead, of Boise, for Mr.. Poul-
ton and Reddoch & Hunter, of Boise,
for Mr.. Sebern.
The case of Floyd Pierce versus
John W. Caldwell was the next jury
case up for trial and it was for the
enforcement of a contract and the
collection of a debt In this matter
Mr.. Pierce was suing Mr. Caldwell
for $18S, the balance on an alleged
bill and Mr. Caldwell filed counter
claim for $500 against Mr.. Pierce
for damages sustained in the alleged
violation of contract pertaining to
the purchase of some lumber. After
a short deliberation the jury re-
turned with verdict in favor of Mr..
Pierce awarding him the full amount.
Attorneys in this action were Coun-
ty Prosecutor R. w. Beckwith for
Caldwell and A. F. Downs for Mr..
Pierce.
The only other case demanding a
jury was that of Emmett Guisasola
versus Charles Irwin and the taking
of testimony was started on Wednes-
day afternoon. Attorneys F. T. WyY
man and L. B. Green appeared Eof
Mr.. Irwin and William Healy, of
Boise, for Mr.. Guisasola.

DREDGING COMPANY
START OPERATIONS
South Park Dredging Com
pany Will Resume Oper-
ations At Feath-
erville

According to word received the
forepart of the week from reliable
source the dredge, belonging to the
South Park Dredging Company at
Featherville will resume operations
in the very near future. Owing to
the fact that the dredge encountered
ground of a different character from
that found by other companies for
some time, it was found almost inn
possible to reach the depth carrying
the values and it is likely the plan is
remodel the boat so that it will go
to a deeper distance, although there
is a rumor to the effect that a new
dredge will be installed.
1t seems that the ground on which
the boat is now located is character
istic of the district inasmuch as it
carries very little soil and is COM
posed of the round river wash. The
boat at this time has a very short
conveyor to eliminate the waste and
it fills in behind the boat so rapidly
that depth is reached under consider
able difficulty.
1t will be welcome news to the
residents of the upper country to
know that the boat will again be
put in operation and it is hoped that
they will be able to eliminate their
troubles and enjoy prosperous run.

LITTLE gain IN
WATER STORAGE
Engineer Spofford States
That Little Gain Has
Been Recorded At
Reservoirs

Engineer Spofford, of the Noun
tain Home Irrigation District, stated
the forepart of the past week to a
representative of the Republican
that very little gain in storage wa
ter had been made at the reservoirs.
He was able to report gain of ona
thousand acre feet, however, thus
bringing the total storage up to ap-
proximately eleven thousand acre
feet at the reservoirs. A consider
able amount would have to be de-
Quoted from this amount on account
Of the loss in distribution.
The snow on the water shed of
this district has practically all melt
ed and there is no great hope of Sc
curing additional storage this sea-
son. A rain storm of the forepart Of
the week was the salvation of the
farmer as the dry winds had dried
out the most of moisture in the
ground and an irrigation was not
far away. During the past week
the precipitation amounted to 1.01
inch, the greatest amount coming on
Saturday when AS Of an inch fell.
With The prospect Of storms dur
ing the early spring and the conser-
vation of storage water resulting, it
is quite likely that the farmers on
the local project will be able to bring
a bumper crop to maturity.

WHY A BARBED
WIRE FENCE?

A beautiful park and a children's
playground surrounded by an ugly
barbed wire fence is certainly not
an attractive spot. Why should this
beauty spot within the limits OF
Mountain Home be hampered in
such a manner? We have city or
dinance prohibiting animals from
running at large in the city and it
is up to the city authorities to see
that it is enforced and this being the
case the park board could order the
adjustment of this barricade.

SUCCESSFUL WE'LL
AT BRUNEAU

The recent news of the successful
completion of an artesian well at the
HoIverson place at Bruneau has
caused some speculation as to the Sc
curing of artesian water near the
foothills, where springs abound, near
Mountain Home. The Holverson well
has flow of thirty inches per min
ute and should flow of this sort be
encountered near our foothills it
would reclaim vast amount of land.
Biologists many times have indicat-
ed the possibility of water in this
section and few test holes would
not prove a bad gamble for anyone.
Government land. open to entry is
located near the springs and all that
is necessary is the possible develop
ment of the life giving water.

the annual report OF Maj. Gen. Greed

Training and discipline showed i'm

area, he pointed out, were large turn

cruits and a lack of suitable armories.
However, the area, he said. leads In
camping facilities, use Of Regular
Army posts for field training and the
general cooperation between the Reg

The National Guard of the District
of Columbia has maintained steady
progress in recent years, he said. Its
strength of five officers and 249 en-
listed men in 1919 has been increased
in 1926 to 81 officers and S29 enlisted
men, assigned to the 29th Division, as
follows: Four officers at headquarters,

form. Gen. Allen wants to have the
cloth, buttons and thread issued in
stead of. the finished uniform. Then
the soldier can go either to the COM
pany tailor or to some nearby civilian
tailor and have his clothes made from
the furnished material.
In this way he would wear the
emergency clothes only for few
weeks at the most and ever after he
would have his suits made to exact
measure and be able, in some ways,
to superintend their making. Gen.
Allen believes that this suggestion. If
adopted. would greatly improve the
appearance of the infantry as whole.
1t might, however. be a trifie more
expensive, since the Quartermaster
depot is able to make suits on a big
scale. with corresponding economies.
1t also would necessitate having
more enlisted men as post tailors and
the recruiting of more men skilled at
the tailoring trade. The plan would

forms would continue to be manu-
factured by the quartermaster depot.
In respect to the latter. Gen. Allen
wants them made of better material
such as was used before the World
War, and which will hold the khaki
color better. With the dyes now
used a suit is MUD colored when it is
issued, but gradually washes out to
almost pure white. An infantry regi-
ment lined up for inspection in Sum
mer presents uniforms in all colors
intermediary between mud and the
hue of new fallen snow. Sometimes
the coat will be. mud-colored and the
breeches white. AS a rule the breeches
lose color first, since they are most
frequently washed. and it is matter
of pride with some soldiers to get
them white as soon as possible.
This not only defeats the uniform
intention, it was explained, but also
