Several autos made the trip tC
Bruneau last Thursday evening t.
meet with the business men of oul
neighboring community for the pur.
pose of talking over the proposed
new road down through Bruneau
Duck Valley and connecting with the
Lincoln Highway at Elko, Nevada.
A large gathering of Bruneau people
welcomed the Mountain Home dele

A committee of Bruneau people

LOOK AT OUR
INVESTMENT

The Village of Mountain Home
has a ten thousand dollar invest
ment in the Carl Miller Park in
Mountain Home. Look it over, the
park is surrounded by barricade Of
barbed wire and the gates have not
as yet been opened so that the public
can drive through the park. What's
the idea? The keeper at the park
has been doing his best to keep the
place in condition and the grass and
shrubbery can be viewed from the
outside but to gain entrance with
car is impossible. What has hap
pened to our park board, have they
had a meeting since last January?
The Village has a big investment in
the Carl Miller Park and it should
not be neglected,

SOME SAY THAT
ADVERTISING PAYS

To the most skeptical on the sub
iect of advertising we will point
with pride to the sale completed last
week by the local Golden Rule Store.
Their sale was advertised exclusively
by the Republican both in banners
and ads. On the opening day it was
almost impossible to get into the
store, there was such crowd and so
many out of town automobiles were
parked on both sides of the street
that space was almost a nonenity.
Manager Cook, of the Golden Rule
states that he was entirely satisfied
with the results of his sale.
Another merchant of the city who
also realized somebenefit from ad-
vertising is R. w. Smith. Mr.. Smith
advertised portable phonograph a
couple of weeks ago and he almost
Immediately made sale to a party
living some eighty miles distant
from this city. This sale he can
trace absolutely to his advertisement
carried in the Republican.

Granted by ONO Min

J. T. ONO, of Spokane, Washing
ton, principal owner of the ONO
Mines Corporation who are the
holders of the Treasure mine at
Rocky Bar was in Mountain Home
for several days during the past
week While here Mr.. ONO stated
that his company had granted a con
tract to a Spokane firm for the ex-
tension OF their $50 foot tunnel for
a distance of five hundred feet, ac-
tual work to start in the very near
future
1t is the plan OF the company to
hurry this work to completion as
rapidly as possible and for that reas-
on two shifts of miners will be em-
ployed They have a twenty stamp
mill ready for operation but do not
feel justified in starting the mill un-
til about two years run of ore is de-
veloped This new work that is
planned by them will cross cut two
veins and a period of about six
months will be required to complete

CANDIDATES MAY
FILE FOR OFFICE
Books Open For Filing For
Nomination For The
Various County
Offices

The books were opened last Fri
day, according ito the provisions OF
the statutes, for prospective candi-
dates to file their names for nOmin-
alton at the coming primary election
for all county offices. 1t is pretty
early in the season for candidates to
make their filing and consequently
there have been none made up to
the present date.
1t is practically certainty that A.
A. Stevens, as sheriff; r. w. Beck
with, as county attorney; Mary c..
Mclaughlin, as county treasurer; F.
M. Hobbs, as county auditor; Thorn
as Trathen, as assessor; S. B. Black
well, John F. Gaines, and Horace
Rowland, as commissioners and w.
H. Manion as probate judge, will all
be candidates to succeed themselves.
Rumor has it that JEFF Whitson,
James Stewart, Harry Price, and
Geo. Butler of Atlanta and Cap Win
ters, of Featherville, would not OBJ
Ject to the nomination as commits
sioners. Shepard Morgan, of Glenns
Ferry is said to be thinking about
the Office of sheriff and it is stated
that the names of both w. S. Lee
and o. E. Cannon have been men
toned in connection with the Office
of state senator. None of the above
mentioned gentlemen have been in
terviewed in this regard consequent
ly their real intentions are not
known

To Be Held In Nam
pa Saturday

Word was received in Mountain

1t is understood that there will be
several take the examination, among

Mr.. Casey has the endorsement of
many local patrons of the office as
well as the local post of the Ameri-
can Legion and it is understood that
other candidates also have consid-
erable strength so taking it all in
all there will likely be lively con-
test before real appointment takes
place.
A vacancy has existed in the posi-
tion for three years past.
