NOTICE.
Notice Is Hereby Given
I he first half of the game was a
contest so exciting that every
spectator forgot that there was a
thing on earth but the twenty-two
men on the field fighting toward
their goals as if their lives de­
pended upon the gaining of the
point. The boys won and lost
their yards by only the hardest
battle and the first half closed
without a point for either side.
In the second Half the N. H. S.
boys were h-ss fortunate and the
noble struggle that they put up
in the first half had taxed their
strength and so the contest was
not as close altho the boys never
said die. The Ontario boys played
a good clean game and only on a
couple occasions was any
foul
work done. One man being dis­
qualified.
The game ended wit!: a score 12
to 0 in favor of Ontatio who work­
ed for every point of it. and deser­

Mr.
Thus. W. Claggett, of the land
company, was in Ontaaio Monday.
He had been to Nyssa where there
was a meeting called to investigate
a dam site in the Owyhee near
Mitchell Butte. The men in charge
of the irrigation proposition be­
lieve that a much cheaper propo­
sition cau be found than the one
recommended by the engineers.
It appears that a survey was made
a few years ago by a Salt Lake
engineer and he estimated
the
cost at two {hundred thousand dol­
lars for the dam and not to exceed
three hundred thousand for the
other expenses to cover the 2300
foot contour, which is practically
along the same line as th» govern­
ment engineers were estimating.
TH is will cover practically twenty-
thousand acres, in addition to what
is covered now, and the dam will
impound four hundred thousand
acre feet of water.
The water needed for the present
Owyhee system would be dropped
to the stream level and a large
amount of electricity developed
which could be used to pump
water to the higher lands.
Under the proposition the High

started the investigation and barej
the whole proposition it can be
seen that the people have lost

and Clint Hurt people dropping

With the new deal there should
be no trouble in raising the small
amount of money needed and it
means that the man who owns the
land benefitted will be assessed
about twenty-five dollars an acre,
where the other crowd
wanted
