There are really two separate and
distinct basins. each draining through
a rugged canyon traversed by Long
Tom creek. In this basin the two
branches of the creek, one from the
east and the other from the west.

narrow gorge with sloping rock
walls. The lake formed by a dam

six miles long and over half mile

small compared to the faculties for
storing it, and the only availing sup

over one-third of this area is the al

a portion of the remaining watershed
must cross this plain before reaching
the creek channel. The depth Of
O.S75 feet has been adopted for the
purpose of this report as the average
drainage ratio of Little Camas, Cat

creeks drain nearly the same char

Lime creek is one of the most i'm
portant tributaries Of the South
Boise river and drains an area of
40 square miles, ranging in altitude
between 5000 and 10000 feet. There
is no record of discharge of this
stream, but from careful measure
ments made it was found to have
discharge Of AS cubic feet per second,
ter marks on the stream, it was COM
puted that the corresponding dis

of which it is a tributary. The
drainage area Of the Boise river

From all sources. therefore, it is seen
that the drainage covers 2O4 square

quantity is 1880 acre feet From
this total he substracts 1911 acre

2S.026 acre feet on account Of loss
of canal capacity. leaving a net total
of 1918 acre feet. Put in another
way Mr. Wiley found it inadvisable
to build canal large enough to car
ry off all this drainage. He would
ALLOW a lot of water to run off unused
There was plenty without It,. Refer
ring to the duty of this water Mr..
Wiley said:
placing the average evaporation
area of the reservoir 1900 acres
and the evaporation at three feet for
the season. we should deduct $500
acre feet from the total of 10000

ATTACKING GOVPATTERS0N
Nothing He Does Pleases the Op-
position Press-Another Mig
ger IN Hams" Woodpilee

A Nashville paper has uncovered an
other niger in Ham Patterson's wood
pile. 1t now finds that the governor
called the good roads convention
"merely to boost his political for
tunes.n
Nothing good can come from Ham
Patterson. He is the incarnation of
evil; his brain the DEVILS workshop;
though he builds an Appian Way
across every county in Tennessee, he
does it ITO boost his political fortunes;n
though he gives to the children of Ten
nessee the only substantial step toward
modern free school education the state
has ever taken, he does it "for political
effect" He went to the states coal
mines and turned loose back-broken
negroes whose physiques and health
the state had destroyed, and was ac-
cused of "bringing the negro back into
politics"-merely because the grateful
devils and their fellows saw fit to vote
for him; he went to the penitentiary
and turned friendless consumptives
and children out into the pure air of
Gods sunlight, and in one breath they
said, "any other governor would have
done the same thing and the next
breath they said he was "turning Grim
inals out faster than the courts could
convict them" he addressed a negro
farmers institute that met at the CAPT
toll and encouraged them with sound
advice to become law-abiding, thrifty
citizens, and they said he was "build-
ing up his machine
Now they charge him with double
faced hypocrisy on the road question.
| There were a lot of demagogue Romans
no doubt many of them oflicehunters
or ex-otficeholders- who sat around the
public places of the ancient city telling
the people what q bad man Caesar
was; he built good roads and great
parks and gave them to the people, but
the demagogues said he did it ito boost
his political fortunes" Finally, when
they succeeded in stirring the people
up to tolerating Caesars murder, his
will was read, showing all the great
estate had been left to the citizens of
Rome and that all the Caesar millions
were to be divided equally among every
Roman citizen. Then the people saw
where the demagogues had led them.

HIGH SCHOOLS Or Tenn.
Course Of Study Completed and
Submitted to the State Board
Of Education for Approval

Prof. p. l.. Harmed, who was recently
placed in charge Of the high schools of
the state, has completed the arrange
ment Of the high school course. Copies
of the curriculum have been prepared
and were mailed to the members of the
state board of education for their APP
proval or adverse action. 1t is thought
that the course of study outlined will
be approved by the board during the
present week.
The plan for the conduct of the high
schools Of Tennessee provides for three
classes of such schools, They will be
divided into first, second and third
class high schools, with four, three and
two-year courses, respectively. The
courses for each class will be so arrang-
ed as to provide for changing second
class schools TO the first-class and third
class schools the second-class as rapidly
as the schools of the lower classes meet
the requirements of the upper classes.
The course of study, too, has been so
arranged as to enable the pupils of the
schools of the lower classes to proceed
uninterruptedly with their work in the
event the schools they attend are ele-
waited to higher class, the work of the
lower class schools counting as the mi
tial work in schools of the higher class
es.
English, mathematics, history and
science will be included in all the
courses outlined. The other features of
the high school courses will be divided
into four classes, as follows:
English science course for pupils
who do not expect to attend college or
who do not expect To take a college
course which requires foreign Ian
guages.
The foreign language course for those
who expect to take certain college
courses.
The commercial course, including
stenography, typewriting, book-keep-
ing, commercial arithmetic, CONNER
cial geography and commercial law.
The manual training course.
The above are four-year courses and
apply to high schools of the first-class.
The details of the courses adopted will
be made public as soon as final action
is taken thereon by the state board Of
education. Nashville Banner.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION

That the state good roads convention,
to be held here in September, will be
worth while is shown by the lists of
delegates appointed by the various
county courts which we print today.
There has been an effort to select the
best men in each county, and we have
no doubt that convention so compos-
ed will evolve plans for road betterment
in every part of the state.
No one well informed expects this
first state convention to plaster the
state with better roads in year or 80,
but it is expected that it will arouse
increased sentiment for such improve
ment. Ways and means must be pro-
vided before roads can be constructed,
but when public sentiment is aroused
there will not be much difficulty about
raising the necessary money. We do
not believe any movement meaning
more to Tennessee has been inaugural
ed since the war-American

some animal from the prepared pulp,
was an interesting feature. The ami
