1t is the plan of the government to
construct somewhere on Blackfoot riv-
er an immense storage reservoir for the
conservation of the food waters of tn at
stream and it's various tributaries.
This will insure plenty of water for irri-
cation of the 10000 acres of land in the
Fort Hall Indian reservation and the
coded lands within the fve-mile limit
owned by whites OF particular interest
is this enterprise to the people of Poca-
tello, most Of the land lying AUDITING
on the north end of town being owned
by citizens of the Gate City.
While it is not expected that actual
construction of the storage reservoir
and canal system for the Fort Hall prof
ject will begiA this year, at the same
time it is believed that everything will
be placed in readiness before snow flies
next winter for work next year; and it is
not impossible that the Fort Hall tract
will be under water in time for the irri-

in the magazines. and were usually accompanied 10y
rather startling tales of the past and present of
tins and extremely beautiful addition TO the
American stage. She had contidInglv placed herself
IN the hands OF her press agent, and he had supplied
her lavIshly with an imaginary private electric
hrougham, French touring car, and Jewels that
would make "a raJa vince with envy.
During he winter months these pictures and the
wonder tales of the Spcndthrift beauty reached
New York and eventually found their way into the
hig room of Wiley Grey Co, where they
welcomed with sIghs of delight and without Iota

WIthstanding the somewhat d6coctt appearance
of Miss Lorcllc in the Photographic studies, She
became ~ the patron SAINT of the office where
she had recently been a humble employee
Every desk contained one more OF her pictures,
and every morscl of news To her last cScdpadc

past life IN the big room WAS gone over with
wonderful mInutcuesS, and her every simple kind
ness was developed into a deed OF splendid heroiSu.

interest Miss Lorelle had been featured in he news
papers to the exact limit that the woman star and
the comedian would permit and it must be said that
the the audience liked this girl from the West
Ihey hked her almost perfect beauty and they liked
the way she moved about the stage and a cert ain
convection with which she read her lines and the
unusual intelligence which she used in singing her
one song. 1t was very far from an ovation but her
reception was out of all proportion to the part she
played, and the critics who like the unusual SAID
as much IN their reviews the morning following
with one accord they dismissed the light voice with
lew words, and stopped to praise at some length
the beauty and the resources of this Young pirl
who had found flowers where the authors had
planted only weeds
At probably no one place in New York were these
h"tlGcS SO eagerly read, much discussed as in
,he big room of Wiley, Grey * Co. The seven girls
laughed and reoiced over them, perhaps even cried
q httle over them, and mentally agreed never TO

ellie after some consideration returned TO the STAGE
not so much on account of the advice of her late
employer, as the course that offered the least re-
slstance- With her knowledge of the possibilitics
OF the profession, she turned to the agencies and
trequcnted them with such persistencv that IN
little more than a week she was on her wav IN
Denver to tlll a minor position in a summer stool,
company. For two months she PLAYED twice a da,,
and rehearsed and worked on her wardrobe the hcSt
part of the remainder of each twent y-four hour
1t was very, very hard work but it at least taught
her ease and the rudiments of acting
Late in August, when Chicago manager dis
covered her, he found her little pale and tired

she may have had of becoming a dramatic st ar

In few weeks she was at work again; but after
her experience with the stock company it seemed
more like play. With her one song, which happened
to be a good song, she attained certain amount
Of success.
But it was after all, her beauty that scored and
that gave her probably unwarranted local reputa-
