FOR THE HIGHLINE CANAL
There are four cars of lumber In
town at the present time, enroute
to the proposed line of the People's
High Vine Canal era the west side of
the river. The line will be fourteen
feet higher than the original Peo
ple's cantil, and will reclaim thous
ands of acres of the desert west of
Grovelaud, Moreland, and Porterville.
It passes through some of the finest
territory tributary to Blackfoot and
means an additional amount of popu
lation to Bingham county. In all
probability the canal will be com
pleted! within the next two years,
and a portion of lit will be in condi
tion to furnish water this year. The
lumber is being furnished by L. C.
Rock wood, Manager of the Weeter
Lumber company of this city.
BROWN-HART CO.
\Y/E have bui|t up an immense business and made many
friends by our policy of always considering quality first
and price afterward. There is no question in our minds but
what this is appreciated by the people of this city—in fact, it
is proven by our ever increasing business and the constant de
mand for Brown-Hart Quality merchandise.
We are better prepared to cater to your spring and sum
mer wants this season than ever befoire, by buying a larger and
more complete assortment in all departments than we have
ever carried, and that means the largest selection of merchan
dise in this section of Idaho. A department store in the large
cities can show no more complete line.
Our prices are all marked in plain figures and only a
legitimate profit is asked—no more than we are honestly en
titled to, and in this respect we wish you to distinctly under
stand that when we have a sale on any article at a certain per
centage off the regular marked price, it is absolutely bona fide
and you are getting just what we claim.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
The BVackfoot High School won a
clean cut victory over the Alumni
brothers in debate Friday evening at
the Methodist Church. Canadian rec
iprocity was the question for discus
sion The high school lads on the
negative were masters of the situa
tion from the begining to hte end.
They out argued their older and more
experienced rivals, as evidenced by a
unanimous decision of the judged.
There was a keen rivalry and much
enthusiasm an both sides. The Alum
ni were represented by W. Oirr Chap
man and Rlchlard Stevens and the
high school by Kenneth Parkinson,
Erbie Downing and George Dari.
The school boys feel more thaï»
proud to htave vanquished, so decid
edly, a foe that has in all previous
contests been the victors. The de
bates held this winter Rave added
greatly to interests in debate amd at
the same time made it possible tot
the boys to gain the necessary ex
perience to cope successfully with
finished debaters like Chapman land
