that if women were placed on an equal

Lingerie as Fancy Work.
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1905-09-09

she cannot have as generous a suppy

extent suspended. while those that are
carried on act slowly and entail com

OF the winter torpor or Information

The village election Tuesday was
very quiet affair. There was on
ly one ticket in the field, and only
30 voters were registered when the
register Office closed Saturday
night.
But 19 votes were cast at the
polls and J. F. White, J. w.
Wheeler. j. w. Waldron, T. NJ.
Starrh and w T. Godfrey were
elected trustees for the next two
years. Considerable stir was caused
after the polls closed by some of
the election board giving it out that
c. Hansen had defeated I. NJ.
Starrh by one vote. So carefully
was the report circulated that it was
believed to be true until
a late hour Tuesday evening.
When the facts became known a
laugh was enjoyed at the expense
of those who had swallowed the
rumor.
The new board is composed of
he same men who have served the |
past year except F. E. Crosse, who
declined to run. w. T. Godfrey
will take Mr.. Crosses place on the

DUBOIS HEARD FROM
Discusses the Transfer of Funds
From Minidoka to the Boise
Payette Proposition.

We are indebted to w. N. Schill
ing of Minidoka for the opportun
ity to publish the following lette
from Senator Dubois. 1t goes very
fully into the matter of the segre
cation of a portion of the Minidoka
irrigation apportionment, and will
be interesting reading to every resi-.
dent OF this section of the state.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81.
w. n. Shilling, Minidoka, Idaho.
| received your letter in regard
to the diverting of some of the
funds set aside for the Minidoka
project and have given this matter
great deal of consideration. The
situation is this;
Every state and territory, which
Is arid or semi-arid, is pressing to
have money taken out of the recla-
nation fund and devoted to various
projects in their respective states or
territories.
At the time s2,60O,OO0 was set
aside for Minidoka, there was about
S20,0OO,000 in this fund. When
you consider that there are II arid
and semi-arid states and territor-
les, you will readily perceive that
Idaho Jared extremely well. There
are enough splendid projects in
Idaho alone to use up the entire
reclamation fund. The great Du-
Rols project, in my own immediate
section, and which was named in
my honor is the greatest single |
project in the United States.
Eventually the head waters of the
Snake river must be stored in Jack
sons Lake, and the other lakes in
that immediate vicinity must be
made reservoirs. Naturally, the
Dubois project appealed to me very
strongly. The Minidoka PROPOSE
ton, however, did not require near
ly so much money and was oneI

HEPBURN THE TOWN
Change Made In Name of Govern
ment Extensive
improvements Planned.

The town on the Minidoka tract
located on the north bank of the
river will probably be designated
as Hepburn. 1t has been so named
by the postoffice department and
the name, being satisfactory to all
other interests, will be adopted.
An interesting feature has devel-
oped with respect to this townsite,
says the Statesman. There is a
section of state school land corner
ing into the site, and it has been
arranged that the plat shall run out
over about $50 acres of that, the
state participating in the sale of the
lots. This is the plan that will be
recommended by Mr.. Ross, who is
now preparing the plat

A feature of this town will be the {
act that it will have water COM

ry. The river is backed up some c
5 miles from the Twin Falls dam, Q
nd there is slack water above to T
ne foot of the rapids at the Mini

ighly important to farmers living

some other state if not in Idaho.
