importation of the drug is prohibited.
The first realization of the serious
ness of the opium traffic so far as the
United States is concerned came when
the government started to put the
Philippines in order. An attempt to
regulate the unlimited traffic there
called for the appointment of a COM
mission. The commission In tracing
the many Americans engaged in the
opium trade found that the United
States. with some 100000 American
users Of smoking opium. to say moth
ing of the Chinese users here, pre-
sented almost as serious a question
as the insular possessions. Since that
time the United States has led the
fight among the powers against the
drug.
About n year ago a law absolutely
prohibiting the importation into this
country of opium FOR any except medi.
cinal purposes was passed. But there
are now about 10000 Americans using
the drug, and I'm spite of the prohibit
tory statute about GS,000 pounds Of
smoking opium is smuggled into this
country annually.

Tattoo Suggested for Army Horses

II is Captain Conrads idea that
more enduring designation could be
accomplished by applying a mark to

horse. lie has devised an instrument
for this purpose. and suggests the use
Of India ink. with the result that the
mineral adopted will be indeible.

system Of marking so that there may

Boise on the first Of the week from a
trip to Slat Lake, made in the inter-
est of the Idaho Consolidated Power
company, of which he is the head,
announces that final arrangements
have been completed for Increasing
the capacity of the company's hydro
electric plant at American Falls from
5000 to 10000 horse power, Work
will commence as early in the spring
as weather conditions will permit.
The plant of the company now pro-
vides power and light to the towns of
Pocatello, Blackfoot, Rcckland and
American Falls. as well as to one or
two minor points throughout southern
Idaho. With the completion of the
work decided upon the capacity Of tn
plant will be increased to point
whereby power and light from this
plant will be available over greatly
increased area, not only in Idaho, but
in Utah as well.
In discussing his plans upon his re.
turn, Governor Brady said: with
the added capacity of the plant it
will be possible for the company to
provide all the power that Is needed
for years to come in southern Idaho
and we could very readily contract
for its transmission clear to Salt LAX
City, but it is not likely that this
will be done, as I desire that the
plant being an Idaho industry, Ida
ho shall reap the benefit.
work ON the plant was begun In
1910, and It has been steadily added
to ever since. The great dam Is now
built one-third Of the way across the
river and this will be completed at
once. Because Of the demands upon
the proposed new plant the plant and
dam will have to be practically a
part of each other and this will neces
state a large amount of construction.
with the three thousand horse
power being developed we are en-
abled to provide light and power to
many Of the towns of southernlda'
ho, but nothing like the number 1t
will be possible to serve when the
capacity shall have been increased to
30 900. for which the plans provide.
