SAGE MAY BE USED
FOR DECORATION

Idaho sagebrush is a desirable
shrub, or so eastern nurseries consid-
er it according to H. H. Cummins,
who made a shipment of young sage
brush plants to the Naperville nurs-
cries at Naperville, ILL.,, this week.
Mr.. Cummins states the nurserymen
will try them out as a decorative
plant there. That the plant which
has been the heartache and backache
Of every Idaho homesteader should
now assume the role of a greatly de-
sired decorative plant in eastern gar
dens, is matter of great interest to
those who have lived here since

flames gained such head way that
when he returned home It was i'm
possible to save anything on the up
per floor Of the dwelling. Practi-
cally everything on the lower floor
was saved but Mr.. Mcleod had con-
siderable valuable data and maps
which were destroyed by the blaze

CLEANUP WEEK
IS DESIGNATED
Week Of April 9Th to 10th
Designated AS Clean Up
Week By Village
Board

Elsewhere in this issue of the Re
publican appears an official notice
by the Board of Village Councilmen
to the effect that the week of April
5th to April 10th has been designat-
ed as Cleanup Week. On the morn
ing of April 9th truck will be fur
nished by the Village to haul away
all debris free of charge to the prop
erty owners.
Residents of the city should CO.
operate with the Village Board in
the matter of cleaning up their prem
ises and help to make Mountain
Home a spotless town insofar as the
collection of rubbish is concerned.
Last year the week was not observed
in the manner that it should have
been and as result the streets were
filled with rubbish the greater part
of the summer season.
The local commercial club could
aid the village dads to a great ex-
tent in this matter by properly ad-
vertising the event and further en-
couraging property owners to do
their bit.

TWO ACRE FEET
IN STORAGE
Engineer States That There
Is Now Two Acre Feet
Of Water In
Storage

Engineer Spofford, OF the Noun
tain Home Irrigation District, stated
last Tuesday to representative of
the Republican that the district now
has in storage enough water TO in
sure two acre feet at the reservoir.
OF course there would be consider
able loss in this amount in convey
ing the water to the land and he
states that there is now sufficient
water In the reservoir to insure one
md one-third acre feet delivered to
the land. Mr.. Spofford left on We'd
nesday morning for the watershed.
where he expects to make measure
ments and will spend several days at
this work.
Inasmuoh as there stlll remains
considerable snow on the north
slopes of the mountains it is anti
eipated that the farmers win receive
two acre feet for irrigation purposes.
This is a short water year without
doubt but those familiar with the
situation state that the farmers
should be able to raise as good a
crop this year with two acre feet as
they did last year with three, owing
to the fact that last year the ground
was extremely dry to start with,
while this year it is in excellent con-
iition. A shortage of water prevails
almost generally all over the Pacific
slope.

PARK IMPROVEMENT
GETS UNDER WAY
improvements On Railroad
Parks Started On Mon
day of This
Week

A crew of workmen were started
last Monday morning on the remov-
al of surplus trees in the two upper
railroad parks and as soon as this
work has been completed the ground
will be plowed up, leveled and plant
ed to lawn This work will be done
by the railroad company and the Viii
lage Council have agreed that as soon
as this has been completed that they
will have cement curbing placed
around both parks and the unsightly
fence and hitching racks will be re-
moved. Too much praise cannot be
given the railroad company and Mr..
Wilcox, the local agent for their in
terest in the improvement of civic
conditions.
On Monday ma nwas placed in
charge of the Carl Miller Park, and
this place will be brought up to con-
dition. One of the bad features of
this plot is the fact that it is sur
rounded by an unsightly fence which
detraets greatly from the purpose
for which the park was establised.
Owing to the fact that it is up to the
village officials to keep loose stock
off the streets it seems that the fence
is unnecessary and could be removed,
thus greatly improving the appear
ance of the plot.

RECOVERY CASE
IN JUSTICE COURT
Greenstreet Asks For Re
covery Of Horse Sold
BY Local Author
tiles

The case of Jack Greenstreet YER
sus W. r. Munson for the recovery
of horse which was purchased by
Mr.. Munson some time ago from
the local pound was heard last Tues
day afternoon by jury in Justice OF
the Peace Downs court. It seems
that Greenstreet contended that the
sale of the animal was Illegal, not
having been properly advertised, he
having never been notified that the
horse had been taken up by city au-
thoritles and that the city ordinance
was in conflict with the state law
in regards to the impounding and
sale of estray animals. Attorney
Prout, representing Mr. Greenstreet
stated that the ordinance was in CON
fict with the state law inasmuch as
the Idaho statutes held that a notice
of sale of an estray animal must be
published for four successive issues
in a newspaper published in the city
Attorney Beckwith, representing
Mr.. Munson stated that there was no
conflict existing, owing to the fact
that the state law stated that vii
lagos were authorized to make their
own regulations pertaining to the
sale of impounded stock.
The jury found verdict in favor
of Mr.. Munson.
