was wasted. In many parts Of the

line their main canals. AS result
many channels which formerly lost
from 20 to 80 per cent of their to-

tight. In many case ssuch improve

the attention of the managers had not
been called by our engineers to the
large losses sustained and the best
means of preventing this waste.
In other cases farmers used
large amounts of water without re-
alizing how excessive was the use

wooLGRowERs MEET IN BOISE
state Association VIII Wrestle With
Important Questions.

The Idaho State Wool Growers as
eociation will meet in Boise January
. and 3. 1911. This was the decis-
ion reached by the members Of the
executive committee in session in
Boise. Failure on the part Of COM
mittee members to arrive in the city
recently caused the postponement OF
the meeting until later. The early
dates were selected owing to the
fact the National Wool Growers as
sociation convenes in Portland Janu-
ary to Z conclusive and many of
the Idaho members are anxious to at
tend the Portland conclave.
The following members of the ex-
ecutive committee were present at
the meeting: President Thomas
Stanford of Carey; Vice President Fl.
S. Belts of Boise, Secretary Sam
BaIlantyne of Boise; E. A. Van Sick
lin of Weiser and Worth Lee of
Mountain Home.
1t was stated at the committee
meeting last night by one of the
members that in all probability be-
ween 200 and 300 sheepmen from
various parts of Idaho will attend the
annual association meeting to be held
in this city on the dates set in jan
uary. There is considerable impor-
tant business. to come before the as
ISOLATION, including the election of
officers, discussion of the winter
range questions relating to the forest
service supervision of the range, etc.
The sheepmen and forestry officials
are working in more harmony now
than ever before and these relations
the sheepmen declare they are anX-
ious to keep up. although they still
believe there are a number of inn
portant questions to be decided re-
garding the range and on which they
are willing to meet the forestry Of
ficials half way.
Diseased sheep imported and plac-
ed on the ranges as wen as the treat
mtul u olttp Qlotdotuf are lWo lAi~
portant subjects the sheepmen will
deal with at length believing they
are Of more than unusual Importance
to the salvation Of the industry.
Aside from settling the date of the
annual convention the members Of
the executive committee transacted
only routine business, although they
discussed a number of questions.
That there will be a determined
effort on the part of Idaho sheepmen
TO secure the 1912 convention of the
National Wool Growers association
now seems certain and several of the
members of the committee expressed
themselves as being satisfied that
Boise could have the convention if
the proper presentation is made by
Idaho delegates to the association
and it is decided to have but one
Idaho city in the race for it. Two
might jeopardize the chances of both.
With the solid Idaho delegation and
It is believed it will be 100 strong,
behind Boise it is believed the cap
ital city has a fair chance to secure
the big meeting.
