FOR BIGGER FIT. HALL PROJECT
Government Enlarges Irrigation
Scheme I'm Idaho.

I
Scheme I'm Idaho.
The Pocatello Tribune says of the
change and enlargement of the Fort
Hall government irrigation project, at
Fort Hall, Idaho:
F. H. Newell, chief OF the United
States reclamation service, who was
in Pocatello last evening with the
Garfield party, announced that the
government had virtually decided to
make a sweeping change in plans for
the Fort Hall irrigation project, and
had under consideration a new pro-
ject which when consummated will
mean more to Pocatello than any one
thing that has happened since the
birth of the town.
Chief Newell says 1t is now the in
tention Of the reclamation service to
use water from the Jackson lake
storage reservoir in Wyoming in the
canals of the Fort Hall irrigation
project, and conserve water in the
proposed Blackfoot storage reservoir
for use in reclaiming lands along the
upper Portneuf river, along the
benches on both sides of that stream
and along the left bank of the river
between Pocatello and American
Falls. This will make Pocatello the
center OF one OF the largest tracts Of
irrigated lands in Idaho.
Chief Newell says that all the de-
tails Of the plan have not yet been
worked out, but that It was so certain
to be finally adopted that engineers
have been ordered to make detailed
survey at an early date. A corps of
surveyors will be in Pocatello this
summer to begin work.
Before the plan is consummated 1t
will be necessary for 80 per cent of
homesteaders on the tract proposed
to be irrigated to sign contracts to
take water.

crops OF Cramer, Walden, Reeder and
Fix and will have a good seasons
run. The wheat is yielding excep-
tionally well in that section and the
farmers are we'll pleased with the
outcome. 1t had been thought that
the dry weather hurt that section but
such is not the case, according to the
yield.

rary Succumbs to Spinal Meningitis
After Long Illness.

Arba r. Murray, son OF Mr. and
Mrs. Pete Murray OF Adams, died last
evening at St. Anthony's hospital
after long illness with spinal menin-
gifts. He was aged II years. 7
months and 81 days and was the old
est child of the family.
The case has been one OF the most
pitiable to come before the notice OF
local physicians for some time. The
boy was taken Ill with spinal menin-
igtis on February II and on March II
was brought to st. Anthony's hospital,
where he fingered until 4:30 last even-
ing. He was an exceedingly strong
and robust boy and made a hard
fight against the disease but finally
succumbed.
The remains were taken to the
home Of the grandmother, Mrs. Bate
man at the old agency by NJ. A. RAIDER

BISHOP POTTER
DIES IN PEACE
Continued from page IL

thing when he returned to New York,
that "You may depend upon II there
is no love lost between the two coun-
tries. l think there Is a good deal
OF gush about the British protesta-
tions of love for America"
He was very liberal with his minis
ters and was especially hearty toward
DR.. Rainsford, at whose views and
ways many New York churchmen. at
first looked askance. But one day,
when a gathering Of ministers was at
his house DR.. Ralnsford arrived late,
having just come in from a fishing
trip and wearing his angling togs.
This was too much for the bishop and
he said abruptly, "Oh, Rainsford,
please go and put on something cam
cnical," and Rainsford did.
The greatest monument to Bishop
Potter's memory will undoubtedly be
the famous Cathedral of st. John the
Divine, which is being builded on
University Heights, New York. The
bishop threw his whole soul into this
great work, raised millions Of dollars
for it, but he did not live to see more
than a small part of the magnificent
structure completed. He himself
never expected to see the completion
of the work and did not even expect
the next generation to see 1t, but with
characteristic greatness of mind he
planned far ahead and rejoiced in the
idea that some future generation
would enjoy the magnificent sight of
the completed cathedral.
Bishop Potter was twice married,
first in 1858 to Eliza Rogers Jacob,
daughter Of one of his parlshioners In
Greensburg, Pa. Mrs. Potter died
June 80, 1901, from heart failure,
leaving five children. In the autumn
Of 1902 the bishop was married to
Mrs. Alfred Corning Clark, a widow
of 55.

Bisbee daily review., 1908-07-02

Public service corporations the country over have come through the period of financial depression with excellent increases in earnings in the larger cities under good manage ment, a fact that is especially inter esting in view of the effect of the depression upon steam railroad and industrial earnings. A study of the conditions of such corporations has just been completed by the Harris Trust & Savings Bank of Chicago. and the conclusions arrived at ha'
 been compiled in pamphlet form for general distribution. The bank points out that certain classes of bonds.
 which appear safe in prosperous times, when earnings run high, may not be able to stand the hard trials of more unfortunate times" On the
 other hand, no seveTer test of the strength of public service corpora tion bonds than that to which they have been subjected need be de manded. Following an estimate that, at the average rate of population in crease for the last century, 30 per cent each decade the population of the United States will be doubled before 1905, and that this incresr, distinctly urban. the conclusions are stated thus-"The nature of the busi- ness of these companies is such as
 to make their earnings largely inde- 1 pendent of fluctuations in general business and industrial conditions. From the standpoint of the conserva tive investor looking for an invest
 ment of unquestioned safety, this is
 one of the strongest features of the 1 bonds of the quasi-public corpora l ratiOntiOns. We know of no other | corporations which have stood so
 well the test of stability and endJIr- ancc." The comparisons of earn 1 ings of electric railways, electric lighting and gas companies included i in the treatise are comprehensive
 and of interest particularly to invest
