Interesting Items Gathered
from Over the State.

During 1908 total. Of e39, 29O,
600 will be expended by the federal
government upon irrigation pro.
jects that are practically combleted.
Idaho will get the largest amount
expended in any state. It's share
will be SO, 800, 600. Of which el.-
800, 600 is TO be expended on the
Minidoka project by the end Of
June, in order that water may be
available for irrigation there this
year. Upon the Payette- Boise pro-
ject 81. $40, 900 will be expended.
AS the original outlay for water is
to be repaid to the government
and the amount thus repaid is to be
reinvested IN other schemes, it is
evident that in a decade or two
every acre of land in the arid rd-
gion that can be irrigated will be
under cultivation.

and is causing her widowed mothel
no end of anxiety.
The following appeared in an

A few weeks ago President Hill
of the normal received letters from
Mrs. Rhoda Love of Award Okla,
telling him that her daughter, Miss
Laura Love, had mysteriously dis
appeared and asking if he knew
anything concerning her where
abouts. Miss Love is a Normal
graduate of the class of 1900. and
taught in Emmett, Idaho. She
left that place about the first of
June to attend the National
Educational association meeting
in Los Angeles, and probably
arrived at her destination safely.
but did not register as member
of the association, and was not
seen by any of her friends. Some
time in July she appeared at the
Office of the city superintendent of
schools in Los Angeles but dis
appeared again. She had contracted
to teach in the city schools, but
did not take her place, and did
not send any word concerning her
violation of the contract.
President Hill put a notice of
her disappearance in the Normal
for December, and he re-
ceived a card from Miss Nettie
Byarts, a graduate of 1902, who
is teaching in Gardena, Cal. The
card' stated that Miss Byarts had
met Miss Love on the street in
Los Angeles, December IA, and
had asked her if she expected to
attend the teachers institute to be
held there next week. Miss Love
replied that she did. and left the
impression with Miss Byarts that
she was teaching. Miss Byarts did
lot see Miss Love at the institute.
Aside from the time she came
to the city meeting with Miss
Byarts, none of her friends have

officials in Los Angeles and hopes
hat Miss Byart's meeting with her
will be a clue which will lead to

A METEORIc DISPLAY
Shooting Star Give. Pyro-
technic Exhibition.

i About 8 O'Clock Sunday morning.
while a party of Emmett young
people were returning from a party
at the Foster home on the bench,
they were startled by meteor
leaving the starry heavens and
scooting towards the earth at ter
rife rate, leaving trail of fire in
its wake and lighting up the entire
country. Miss Bertha Scott, who
was member of the party, says il
was the grandest sight she ever
saw and the light was so bright
rs to almost dazzle every beholder.
She describes it as a comet, but,
while we are not posted to any con-
siderable extent on astronomy, our
idea is that comets don't go cavort-
ing round over the country, but
content themselves with frisking
their tails thwart the heavens.
Meteors, however, are the Weary
Willies of the sky. When they
take notion to move, nothing
can stop them.
The course of this heavenly
tramp was from north to south,
and Miss Scott saws it struck the
earth, as near as she could tell,
between the Butte and the Last
Chance dam. When it landed,
there was no report, but the ground
shook as if it were in the convul-
sions of an earthquake.
