TO REDUCE
THE PAYROLL
Senator Davis introduces Bill to Cut
Down Salary of Clerks In
The Senate.

Senator Davis started something
when he told of his plan to introduce
a bill in the senate to reduce the sal
aries of employees of the legislature.
That was Monday. Yesterday morn
ing the bill was presented and it only
served to widen the breach between
the Elmore county agriculturist and
the senate stenographer clerks. The
Republicans are not expected to pass
it.
My, but the stenographer clerks are
angry. yes real angry 1t is with
difficulty that they speak to Davis
when he enters committee rooms and

LARGE AMOUNT OF
WATER IN THE HILLS
All Three Reservoirs Nearly Full and Every
PreCdutiOn taken to Conserve
Water for irrigation.

With reservoirs full and some Of
them overfowing. the prospects for
irrigation in this district were never
brighter. While the snowfall has
not been above normal in the lower
hills, the rains of the past two weeks
have had the effect of rapidly melt
ing the snow, and the mountain
streams have made quick work of
filling the three storage reservoirs of
the Mountain Home system. Fhe
Shortage f-last-year. whichiwas con-
fined to the reservoirs on this side of
the first divide. was che of the few
that has occurred in many years.
This occasional shortage which has
its cause in the lighter snow fall in
cident to hills which have southern
slope cannot happen again for the
reason that the Camas canal and tun-
nels. which form the artery fol
bringing the water from the other
side of the divide, were tested last
season and found efficient.
AS usual, in a season of norma
snowfall there will be snow enough
to fill Camas reservoir several times
and now that the upper has been con
nected with the lower reservoirs. th'
latter can always be filled with th'
surplus from the regions where tn
snow fall is more certain. The res
ervoirs have filled earlier than usua
this year and as the snow is but part
ly melted there is certain to be a larg
runoff through the creeks and owe

the spillway of the reservoirs. Prep
arations for the protection of both the
dams and the canals of the system
have been made. and men have been
stationed where necessary to be in
readiness to prevent damage from an
excess of water
The precipitation so far this year
has been excessive considering the
short time during which it fell, and
the soil is in excellent condition.
The moisture will be sufficient to
germinate any of the crops that may
be sown and irrigation will not be
required until late.
To properly distribute the water Of
this section almost all the canals and
laterals need enlarging and this work
can all be done in early spring be-
fore water is required to be dis
tributed. The news that the settlers
have decided to accept the proposition
of the Seattle capitalists for enlarg-
ing and completing the system will
mean also that the work of improve
ment will begin as soon as reasonably
possible.
There will be water for everyone
who puts in a crop this spring and
if the settlers act in their own inter
ests as to the disposition of the pres.
ent momentous question there will be
water for every settler every year af-
terward. and under that system Of
control for which the law provides IL

The following communication from

is very interesting and throws new
light on the subject of signing up the
proposals.
Mr.. Sawyer is the man who was
instrumental in organizing the Water
Users Association and made the very
convincing and brilliant talk before
that body the day of its organiza-
tion. He is interested in Mountain
Home and has expressed his conf
dence in our future in very substan-

of the new company and was so well

John Winklebach, one of the oldest
settlers in Elmore county, is spending
a few weeks in town and made this
office a pleasant call--Monday. Mr.
Winkiebach came to Rocky Bar in
1868, long before the mines were
holding the attention of this section
of the United States and has been
living there ever since. He is the
last survivor of the first settlers that
came to the Bar and is filled with
"reminiscences of the early history of
that once flourishing gold mining
camp He is going to return in the
spring, after the roads open up, and
remain there for the summer. The
hills, the streams, the old familiar
scenes hold an attraction for him
that calls him back where he loves to
live and dream the dreams of early
days when the busy hum of life filed
the air and Rocky Bar had bright and
happy prospects of future greatness

Death in School Drinking Cups.

The greatest achievement of science
in the opening decade of the twentieth
century is the awakening Of the peo-
pie 10 the fact that most human dis
eases are preventable and a large pro-
portion Of early deaths avoidable. At
least 100000 of the million and half
deaths occurring annually in the In
tied States result from the minute
parasitic plants and animals gaining
access TO the body. These invisible
foes wage continual warfare against
both strong and weak, rich and poor.
Civic duty as we'll as self preservation
demands that these hfe-destroyers
of the human system.
The evidence condemning the use
of the common drinking vessel upon
any occasion whether at school.
church or home is derived from three
sources: the frequent presence of
dtsease-p producing bacteria in the
mouth; 2-the detection of pathogenic
germs on the public cups; and 3-the
discovery that where a number of per-
sons drank from a. cup previously used
! by the sick, some of them became i'll.
A cup which had been in use nine
/ days in a school was a clear thin glass.
/ 1t was broken into a number Of pieces
and properly stained for examination
with microscope magnifying 1000
/ diameters. The human cells scraped
from the lips of the drinkers We're so
numerous on the upper third of the
glass that the head Of a pin could not
be placed anywhere without touching
several of these bits of skin. The saliva
by running down on the inside OF the
glass has carried cells and bacteria to
the bottom. Here, however, they were
less than one-third as abundant as al
the brim.
BY counting the cells present on fifty
different areas on the glass as seen
under the microscope, it was estimated
that the cup contained over 10000 hui
man cells or bits of dead skin. AS
many as $50 germs were seen clinging
to single cell, and very few cells
showed less than ten germs. Between
the cells were thousands of germs left
there by the smears of saliva depos-
lifted by the drinkers. Not less than a
hundred thousand bacteria were pres
ent on every square inch OF the glass
