FEDERATION OF WOMAN'S CLUBS
Will Urge Important MeSureS Be-
fore the Next Legislature.

Mrs. A. G. Butterfeld of Weiser,
president Of the State Federation of
Woman's clubs. and Mrs. Byrd Trego
of Blackfoot, were in town Wednesday,
visiting the local woman's club. Mrs.
Trego is the editor of Echoes of Wo-
mans Clubs, the state organ of the
federation. They have been in Boise
and other places in the interest Of their
organization.
Mrs. Trego, who is the efficient help
meet Of the Blackfoot Republican,
gives some very interesting facts re-
garding the club work for the year.
The club is adopting the practice of
presenting two measures to the legis-
lature at each legislative session. This
year, one Of the agreed measures will
be some form of temperance legislation,
probably straight local option meas
ure; this seems to be the best solution
for the liquor question, as viewed by
the various clubs. Opinion is. so far
divided as TO the best of the two other
measures-a state and county civil ser
vice law, and separate reform school
for girls. Some competent legal au-
thorities are looking over the civil ser
vice bill, which is necessarily a very
difficult thing to draw One of these
two viii probably be the second club
bill to be presented to the Legislature.
In some places the membership leans to
absolute prohibition. Last year the
clubs presented the child labor bill, and
assisted other. very helpful legisla-
tion.
In the way of living up to their op-
portunities for taking active hold Of
politics, Mrs. Trego says that the wo-
men of Blackfoot are planning to have
three women at every political primary,
to take part in the deliberations, and to
do their utmost to see that only the
highest class of candidates are put up.
They plan to ask statement of the
position of every man on state and
county tickets, as to the proposed new
local option measure, and let the an
swers of the candidates determine what
their vote is to be.

WILL SEE THE FLEET.
Many ShOshOnites Going TO San
Francisco for Navy Show.

A number Of Shoshone people. among
whom are Jerre Purdum, Frank Mill
saps, E. w. Horton, Charley Morton
and several others, are planning to go
to San Francisco to see the grand naval
display early in May. The railroads are
offering exceptionally low rates, about
s39 for the round trip through Ogden
and Nevada both ways, or $45 for a re
turn through Los Angeles and over the
San Pedro road to Salt Lake.
The trip will be wonderfully instruc-
tive to one from the interior. 1t takes
the traveller over the scene of the wild
est dream that ever came true-the old
Union Pacific railroad 1t shows up the
bleak but marvelously gold-lined desert
of Nevada, where a Midas touch has
turned everything to gold. The great,
snow crowned, pine-clad peaks of the
Sierra Nevadas, with their shadowy
canyons, crystalline lakes and ice-cold
streams, are revelations to the dwellers
of the arid plains. And then the giant
slide off the crest of the continent into
the fiowery and fruit-laden coast lands
of California, is change like dream
of a prophet. But the rebuilt San Fran
cisco, and the mighty war fleet at pa
rade in the placid bay, will attract al
most as much as the wonders of Nature.
1t is the greatest war fleet ever assem-
bled under one flag It's worth long
journey to see that fleet. The thous
ands who will for the first time see a
warship and the mysterious blue sea,
will learn lot about the country in
which he lives. It's worth while.

POCATELLO IMPROVING.
Fine Lawns, Schools and Other
Things Make Good City.

The editor of the Journal spent Fri
day in Pocatelo, meeting some of the
newspaper boys and looking after some
other business. Pocatello is looking
for the government to build federal
building there. to accommodate the
federal court, now held in the county
courthouse. Bannock county has one of
the most delightful court house parks
to be found in the state; all it lacks is
a few more years on its fine trees, to
make it ideal. The high school is the
pride of the city, and deservedly so.
It is disciplined like an army. They do
not need signs, keep off the grass, -
for the children; the lawns are as vel
vety and free from tramping feet as
if they were guarded by a regiment Of
armed men. The Pocatello schools
hold a deservedly high place in the edu-
cational scheme of the state The Idaho
academy grounds are very attractive,
and the academy is one of the most
helpful of the state institutions. While
only of academical grade, it meets the
needs of perhaps more than col
legiate institution, and being so,
can give them all they want. Prof. Miles
Reed, the president, is an Idaho boy,
educated in the Idaho schools and uni
versity, then for years teacher in the
state university, and he comes to the
academy as one of the most enterpris-
ing educators in the west.
1t would be a revelation to many of
! Shoshone to see what progress has been
made in Pocatello in the way of estab-
fishing fine lawns. The soil is appa-
rently very mediocre, with great gla-
cial gravel deposits underlying, in some
places but few inches, but persever-
ance has made hundreds of the finest
kind of lawns. But they are far be-
hind Shoshone in the way of trees, both
fruit and ornamental.
Pocatello has one thing to be proud
of. and that is the fire Y. NJ C. A.
building. 1t is maintained by the rail
road branch of the organization, pri-
marily for the railroad men. 1t is one
of the finest structures in the state,
and stands as a monument to the gen
erosity of the good people of Pocatello.
1t has reading rooms, game room rooms,
plunge and shower baths, and every
thing to make it a real home to the men.
Hon. James H. Brady was chairman OF
the building committee, and is one OF
its staunch supporters-though there
are so many loyal supporters that tc
name them all would be like calling a
roll of the city's business men.

A MUSICAL TREAT.
Band Concert An Unqualified Art
iStic Success.

Thanks mostly to T. NJ. Starrh, as
sisted by one or two other enthusiasts,
Shoshone has for years maintained a
band, a very creditable one too, main
tained under difficulties. 1t was a good
foundation for the concert band which
has been developed through the untir-
ing activity of Prof. F. E. McDerby,
and which gave its initial program to
crowded house Tuesday night.
The Journal believes it is a truthful
statement that there is hardly another
band in Idaho that would have put on
so artistically heavy concert numbers
like "Semiramide" and the descriptive
piece, "The Fall of Jericho" This is
a new band, but hard work and good
instruction have worked wonders, and
every number was we'll rendered. The
program was varied, with vocal and in
strumental numbers which We're well
received. The solo, Waiting, by
Mrs. Agnes Holden, was finely render
ed, and heartily encored. Misses Bow
Ter and Wheeler gave a delightful piano
duet which won deserved applause. 2.
Truman gave some clever readings, and
Messrs. Lisle and Truman sang the duet
David and Jonathan" from the can
tata David. The orchestra number,
"Serenade" by It'll, was musical gem.
The program as whole was well bal
anced, artistically rendered, and thor
oughly enjoyable from first to last. 1t
netted the band almost 500.
The band hopes to arrange for week
ly outdoor concerts as soon as the
summer sets in.

Pounds Out Seven Runs
While Jerome MuSterS
Two TaIIieS Less.
Visitors Put up a Good Game and
Took the Lead but Could
Not Hold the Pace.

Shoshone base ball fans turned out in
swarms, Sunday, to see the local team
put the finishing touches on the Jerome
players, to 4. 1t wasn't a sure thing
until the very last, however, for the
visitors scored 2 runs in the first inning,
l in the third, and shut out the locals
until the fifth inning. Then Shoshone
broke loose with runs, following this
epidemic of bunts, flies, liners, daisy
cutters and stolen bases with another
for each inning. Shoshone did not bat
the ninth inning. being already 8 runs
to the good when Jerome went out in
the ninth.
Shoshone showed the best average
playing, though there were some top
notch players on the Jerome nine. Cha
pin, catcher on the Yale team, was a
star. Brown of Shoshone made SEN
sational catch of line drive to third,
one of the hottest hits of the day Nor.
ton, after the first inning. had it over
the visiting pitcher. Swope caught his
usual good game. The visitors sent up
good team, who play clean ball as well
as take their loss like gentlemen, and
Shoshone would be proud to beat them
once week the whole summer long.
Here is the score:

State Land Board Author
ICES Opening to be
Held June |.
Work to be Rushed so that Water
Will be on the Land for
Season of 1910.

Arrangements are being made for
the opening of the big Salmon river
irrigation project south of Twin Falls,
about the first of June, as had been an
nounced several weeks ago. The project
is being so well advertised that there
are few who are not more or less faml-
liar with it. In brief, it is to irrigate
approximately $50, 600 acres of land from
the Salmon river, the land lying to the
south and west of the original Twin
Falls'segregatior. The landhas for along
time been recognized asamong the most
desirable tracts in the state, but the
engineering features seemed to be such
rs to make the irrigation impractlcaoie'
By building an immense dam, 2lOfeet
high. it has been found possible to
reach the land very easily, taking the
water from the dam through tunnel
reile long, to where it can be applied to
the land through open canals. The COM
pany is now at work on the dam. The
structure is to be of solid concrete, set
with its arched face up stream, and
anchored into the precipitous rock walls
of the canyon so that the heavier the
pressure the more firmly it must stand.
It will cost approximately million
dollars. The water is taken from the
reservoir formed above the dam, at
noint 70 feet from the surface, and gives
a body of water 70 feet deep and cover
ing many miles of area as storage for
irrigaeionpurposes. The total available
storage capacity will be about 3OO,OOo
acre-feet.
Power from the Great Shoshone falls
power plant is to be utilized for the con-
struction work. A pole and transmits
sion line has been laid to the site OF the
dam, and heavy crushing machinery Is
heing installed for crushing the rock
that goes into the concrete. There be-
ing no sand in the locality, the native
tap rock has to be used. 1t is expected
that the dam and the whole system
will be complete for the season OF
1910.
F. C. Horne, for long time con
nected with the government reclama-
ton service. will have charge Of the
engineering work of the dam He
earned a most fattering reputation
both for ability and for honesty he
designed and built the Minidoka dam
and is conceded to be at the very top OF
constructing engineers.

Violin;st Ramona gave recital at the
opera house last Friday night, assisted
by Lynne LaMunyon, that was some
thing extra in the way of fine music.
The audience was not so large as 1t un-
doubtedly would have been had the ad-
vance advertising been more extensive,
but those fortunate enough to be there
enjoyed a musical treat. Ramona plays
with deep expression and his execution
is rarely equaled. Lynne LaMunyon
also is entitled to credit for his part in
the recital. Ramona expects to make
this territory again with troupe, and
if so none of the people present Friday
night will be content to miss it.
