The work on the upper emDankment
of the Deer Flat reservoir that
has been going on for the past sew
eral months to make the dam more
perfect in its service to keep back
seepage has been completed.
1t was found that there was quite
a heavy seepage under the reservoir
last spring after the water began to
fill into the reservoir and the work
was begun to remedy the matter. It
has been prosecuted vigorously aud
the force of men who will be relieved
there in few days are to be sent to
the dam above Boise where about 400
men will be employed. They will be
there to do the repair work on the
dam that was damaged by the high
water last spring and to work on the
New York canal where about a mile
Of cement lining is to be put in along
and near where the break occurred
this year. The work is to be prose-
cuted with vigor and it is planned to
have 1t finished so that after the irri-
cation season is over a full head can
be turned into the big reservoir
through that canal.
John Bailey was here Saturday from
the government dam and he thinks
that the work at the dam has been
splendidly done. He says there will
be a lot doing up along the feeder
canal as soon as the force is sent over
there from the works at the dam

LINCOLN AvERSE
TO |NTOX|CANTS
DECLARE PRoHl5ITloNlsTs AND
WOULD DEBAR WINE FROM
CENTENNIAL BANQUET.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-The national
prohibition party at its headquarters
last night issued a protest against
what it call the "boose banquet" to be
held in Springfield, ILL.,, on Feb II, in
celebration of the centennial of Pres
ident Lincoln. 1t says the decision of
the committee to use wine at the ban
quet is in defiance of the martyred
presidents principles. AS showing
Lincoln't antipathy to the use of
wines or liquors, the prohibitionists'
protest quotes an extract of Lincoln
speech made at his home at Spring
field, June 10, 1860, in the presence of
the committee which returned from
the convention which named him for
president. The extract follows:
Gentlemen. we must pledge our
mutual health in the most healthy
beverage which God has given to man.
1t is the only beverage l have ever
used or allowed in my family, and |
cannot conscientiously depart from 1t
on the present occasion. 1t is pure
Adam ale from the spring" All
present then stood and drank from
cups of cold water It is then stated
Lincoln afterwards frequently voiced
his dislike for liquor and once said,
1.-The next question after reconstruc-
ton will be the overthrow of the
liquor traffic.

signee and consignor are the people
who pay for the extra work. This
added expense does not fall on the
small shipper or receiver of freight
since the railroads are still Obliged to
load and unload less than carload
lots.
1t is claimed that the principal OBJ
ject for this change was to stop dis
elimination practiced by the rail
roads In the case of big concerns.
They would favor the one concern
and slight the other. Those who nan
die the greater bulk of the freight

Springfield say that it is simply an
other case of the power of the rail
roads in controlling legislation. and
that the only way to remedy the evil
is to do it through the same channels.
