EXCHANGE CIHIR
ORGANIZED here
Local Organization is Per
fected and Temporary
Officers are Sc
lected

Last Thursday evening a number
of Mountain Home business men met
at the Standard Hall, where they
were very pleasantly entertained by
calks by members of the Boise Ex-
change Club on the advantages of
the organization for a city of the
size of Mountain Home.
The speaker holding the greatest
interest at this meeting was Gen
eral S. H. Hayes, who is striving to
promote the Mountain lHome-Sun-
nyside project and the securing of
irrigation water from Stanley Basin
Mr.. Hayes told his audience that he,
at the present time, had numerous
capitalists who were yitally inter
ested in the promotion of the prof.
ect. He stated that the recent
strikes in Great Britain had made
financial interests of the United
States look more tavorably upon in
vestments and for this reason he
anticipated that the proposed prof
ect would be much more easily fl
nanced at this time. Mr. Hayes has
interested eastern capitalists to such
an extent that a number of them
will arrive in Boise in the next few
days to confer with him relative to-
plans for the financing of the big
project.
At the close of the meeting tenn
porary officers for the local Exchange
Club were selected as follows: Chair
man, ]. S. GouI and secretary, Ell
more Ottenheimer. As soon as the
town has been thoroughly canvass
ed and as many members secured as
possible the permanent officers will
be selected. The membership to

van, first base; NoreIl, second base;
Galloway, third base; Ryman, short

NEW YORK. May - P).-Despite
the negative findings of the Amund-
sen expedition it is still a probability
that there is a great tract OF land
between the North Pole and Alaska,
in the opinion of the sponsors of the
American Arctic expedition which
leaves this Summer for polar regions
with three aiiplaneS for a three-to
five wear survey.
Robert Anderson Pope. New York
engineer and chairman of the ex-
pedition's organizing committee,
issued a statement yesterday in which
it was said that firm belief was still
held in the existence of such land
and that AmundSen'S observations,
though of great assistance. We're by
no means final.
He said that at most Amundsen
could have inspected less than 10 per
cent Of the region between Alaska
and the Pole. and that because of his
flying height it was deemed likely
that even had he flown over land it
would have appeared 10 his observers

LoZoysky, Radek and Trotzky, in ad-
dition to other prominent Russians
and members of the Soviet govern
ment. have published statements that
the general strike in this country was
political and an important stage to-
ward a Communist revolution. and
that contributions from Russian work
men would enable the British rank
and file of strikers to continue the
struggle and prove that their leaders
have lied In denying the political ma
ture of the strike"
Mai. Kindersley said that in view
of the fact that such statements,
emanating from such sources, are in
consistent with the friendly relations
officially existing between his majesty s
government and the Soviet govern
ment he desired to know whether the
foreign office was contemplating max
ing representations to the Soviet.
