Some small idea OF the immensity
of ,his new country may be gained
from the statement that IL is ninety
five miles long and varies in width
from TWO 20 twelve miles. Not an
acre of this vast territory but what
can be and is being readily brought
under irrigation. This great region
is watercd by the For, Lyons. Amity
and Holbrook canals. which possess
the greatest storage system to be
found IN the western country. These
great reservoirs lie several miles
north OF Lamar and contain suih-
cicnt water to meet the demands OF
the farmers for at least two years
should they be unable to secure any
water from the river. This reservoir
system is being further enlarged and
extended by the construction OF two
forage basins which will make the

The conference held this week at Colo
RADIO Springs between Chairman of the Nat
ional Republican Committee, Hitchcock,
and the charmen of the western states and
territorial committees should result in "a
much closer alliance, and should bring
forth more effective work than has ever
been secured.
A successful campaign should be a.cam.
paign of education. 1t is the province of
each party to try and educate the voters up
to the issues of the day and their sgnif-
canoe. The republican party has but to
make the people understand its doctrines
and policies of government and the expert
ence of the past which have proven their
soundness to be sure of a sweeping victory
Mr., Hitchcock, in calling this conference,
will get plan of work started whereby the
campaign of education can be carried di-
rect to the voter through the series of
state, county and precinct committeeman
and if the people upon whom the RESPONSE
bility rests, are faithful in the performance
of their duties the work should be produc.

were to be raised. then their action should
be on the side of the people whose interests
they represent As guardians of the peo-
pies rights they should keep themselves
entirely on the safe side. They should not
for moment consider an action which
might put their citizens in the position Of
paying an unjust proportion of the taxes.
The cards sent out informed each proper
ty owner that if he did not make personal
application to the commissioners his taxes
could not be reduced. If the commissions
ers in this matter adhere to such ruling
an injustice will DE done te every man who
has not personally taken up the matter with
them. The raise in this years assessment
has been in accord with general policy.
II the commissioners condemn the policy
every property owner should be treated the
same. If they decide to not recognize the
increased rate the entire assessment of the
county should be reduced in proportion.

Bear Lake County's popular summer re-
sort is busy place these days and the
shores of grand old Bear Lake are lined
with people. They are mostly home people,
however.
All of southern Idaho should be repre-
sented during the summer months ut re-
sort as perfect in every respect as this
grand resort. The trouble is that our
neighbors do not realize the granduer of
this body of water. They do not know of
the delightful summer climate along It's
shores, or of the fine bathing, or of the
many other attractions that make it nearer
ideal as summer resort than any other
spot within the limits of T,daho's bound
aries.
The press club will meet here in August
1t is up to the'people of the county to make
their visit one of constant pleasure comfort
and delight. Through their papers every
section of southeastern Idaho will learn
their impressions of what they see here. It
is up to US to show them our resort in the
best light possible.

Starting with the hole-diggng incident

They had gone into the tug of war as
an after thought more than anything

when they got up against team of

were pulled over the mark like lot of

nainful operation the physicians decided
that it was necessary to use an anesthetic.
The usual precautions were taken, the
nurse and physician stated before the
cbolorform was administered, and as the
natfent had been under it's influence q
few DAVIS before and had stood it WE'LL no
trouble was anticipated.
A few minutes after the girl had been
nlaced under the influence of the drug,
her heart action stopped and though
three physicians and two nurses worked
necessarily for two hours. the patient
died.
The jury after hearing the statement
of the physician and others relieved them
from all responsibility for the death OF
Miss Murphy the verdict stating that her
death was unavoidable.
Death Of Thomas Tole.
The same jury decided that Thomas
Tole came to his death through his own
carelessness.
The evidence showed that on the even
ing of July Is Tole attempted to board
west In doing SO he slipped and fell
under the front wheels Of the car which
passed over his right leg, crushing it.
The man was taken to the Emergency
Hospital where he died yesterday morn
