ent Senator Hepburn explains in de-
tail the reasons which actuated him in
opposing the plan of the reclamation
service to divert the waters of Occur
d'Alene lake to the Big Bend irrigation
project in Washington. The senator
boldly asserts that if the plans of the
reclamation service are carried out the
waters now flowing down the Spokane
river will be so reduced as to destroy
absolutely the water power now being
furnished to the factories between
Couer dAlene city and Spokane. in
GLIDING the latter city. Senator Hey
burn said:
Sometime since l made application
TO the reclamation bureau for state
cot as to their plans and intentions in
&, ard to the disposal of the waters of
The Couer d'Alene lake. At first it was
stated to me that the changes contem-
plated would necessitate the raising OF
the water level of the lake. such an ex-
tent that ii would overflow the lands
about Occur d'Alene city and that the
government did not desire that the title
to the lands of the military reservation
should pass to private ownership until
the plans of the government in regard
to raising the waters Of the lake were
determined so that any change they
might make in the levels Of the waters
OF the lake would not affect property
in private hands. Recently l received
from the reclamation service definite
statement as to the proposed use of the
waters OF Lake Occur d'Alene. l have
the statement Of the reclamation serv-
ice before me. 1t says that they con-
template the reclamation of one mil
lion acres OF arid land in the vicinity
of Moses lake; to irrigate this land 1t
Is proposed to take the water from
Lake Occur d'Alene. That all other
sources OF water supply have been in
vestigated and that the use of Lake
Occur dAlene has been found to be
the most reasonable In cast OF con-
struction and most feasible and argues
that Occur dAlepe can be used as a
storage reservoir for supplying this
land without doing serious damage to
the property or the interests of the
state of Idaho and that since Idaho re-
ceives such large benefits from the ir-
rigation OF lands in her southern bord-
ers she should welcome any scheme
which will enable her neighboring
states to large benefit from the expen
diture under the reclamation act.
The engineer who maids the investi-
CATION states further that a careful
study and analysis OF the surrounding
country to Lake Occur d'Alene, and the
private and public interests involved
demonstrate that the desired result.
not only can be accomplished for the
state of Washington but that northern
Idaho would thereby directly receive
large of benefit from the expenditure
of vast sums In these Improvement:
and also by retaining large areas o
land in the valleys OF the ST Joe an,

flooded.
THAT will require upward OF 400
feet of cubic water per second flown,

Killed by Trolly Car.

Glen Olen, an 18 months old baby
boy, whose parents reside about four
miles west OF Occur dAlene, was
struck by trolly car July 20 in the
afternoon and SO seriously injured
that death resulted at o'clock next
morning.
The parents Of the Child live about
block from the electric line, and
the boy got out of the yard few
minutes before the car came by. The
moterman saw the child when be WAS
about 100 feet from it and at once
applied the brakes, but, too late To
stop the train, which had gained
great momentum.

October 8 to 15, for premiums for the
best fruit exhibits from counties or
districts. This Is q revival OF the
district exhibits made at Spokane

shown by eastern visitors who will be
, at the Spokane Fair in large mum bers
| because of the Portland fair. All
fruit communities should take ad-
vantage of this opportunity, which
will not come again in years.
This contest is for the best general
exhi it of green fruit made by any
county, district or individual. No

an be catered for individual pre-
mlums. The exhibit scoring highes,
IN this class will get $3.50, The second

prize is SIS, the second 500, the thlrc
$50 and the fourth $50. Two hun
dred aud fifty dollars will be dividet
pro rata between all exhibits In this
class scoring 10 points or better
This makes eight direct prizes II
this class and $3.50 to be further di

the community should take up thl
matter at once and plan an exhibi
which will capture at least one o
these premiums. This is FIRST elias

at Spokane than in any other way.

There has been some suggestion Of
appointing Cen. Leonard Wood gov

or cleaning up the Isthmus Of Pana-
ma while the work OF building the
canal is going forward. Whether it
will amount to anything it is still too
early to determine, but VI it were
done, the President would have a
strong personal friend on the spot on
whose ability and whose reports he
could thoroughly depend. There
would probably be the usual cry Of
favoritism, but Gen. Wood did good
job in cleaning up Cuba after the
war and the Panama job is one that
needs strong man to cope with 1t.

CONTINUED CHEERFULNESS
A Sunny Disposition Accomplish
eS Most.

"The most manifest sign Of wis
DOM" said Montaigne, ''is continued
cheerfullhess." Many business men
have proved tie truth of this, says
Success Magazine. 1t is an cstab-
lisbed fact that people can do more
and better work In sunny, cheerful
atmosphere of kindness and good
will than in q gloomy, depressing one
where harsh criticism and fault find
ing is the rule, and smiles aud words
of cheer and encouragement the ex.
ception.
No matter what your business may
be, you will dnd that no investment
you can make will pay you SO well as
the effort to scatter heart sunshine
through your lishment. Scold-
ing, faultfnding, criticism, and slave
driving methods have been tried in
every business from the ,beginning of
time and have proved total failures.
Many man has Strangled his buSl-
ness by his harsh, brutal treatment
OF his employees.
II sou are an employer, then, dc
not go about your place OF business
as though you thought life were d
wretched, miserable grind. Show
yourself master of the situation, no,
its slave. Rise above the petty an
noyances which destroy peace ant
you are too large to lie overcome b.
trihes. Resolve that you will b.
larger than your business, that yol
will overtop it with your manlines
