LITTLE Loss RESULTS.
Breaking of Temporary Dam at Jack
son Lake Is Not Serious.

That the loss of water from the gov
ernment's jackson Lake storage res
ervoir, due to the breaking of the tenn
porary dam there on the morning Of
July and the consequent damage to
crops In the irrigated sections OF
southern Idaho which were dependent
upon this stored water, will be merely
nominal Is the good news brought to
Pocatello today by e. G. LaRue. dis
tr1ct engineer in Idaho, Utah and Ne
vada for the water resources branch
OF the United States geological survey.
Mr.! LaRue is in the Gate City from
his headquarters in Salt Lake.
To Tribune man he said this after
noon that published reports of the
breaking of the Jackson Lake dam
were greatly exaggerated, and that
number of people have gained the inn
preston that as result of the acct
dent, the crops of the irrigated sec
ton OF southern Idaho are doomed.
Nothing, says Mr.. LaRue could be fur
ther from the truth. Roughly esti-
mated, the loss of water as a result
OF the breaking of the temporary dam.
which impounded two hundred thou
sand acre feet of water, will not
amount to more than 10000 acre feet.
When the dam broke, heavy volume
OF the stored water, estimated at TO-
000 second feet, was liberated. This
round Its way Into Snake river and to
the Mln1doka reservoir. Officials in
charge down there took prompt stems
to save the flood water and turned a
big volume into the Miner reservoir.
Here it was handled as best it could
by turning an extra volume into the
north and south side canals, but even
at that about 10000 acre feet escaped
over the Miner dam and was lost for
good and all.
One good result of the breaking of
the temporary dam will be a fastening
OF construction by the reclamation
service OF a mammoth permanent
structure there, to ultimately impound
400,o0O acre feet. In preparation for
this work the reclamation service is
now building a fine wagon road from
Ashton to Jackson lake, which will
cut down the haul from the nearest
railroad point by 60 miles. The old
road from st. Anthony along the Teton
river is now 100 miles long and the
new road will be so miles long. A
telephone line will be strung along
the route.
The breaking of the temporary dam
will have the result of proving to the
reclamation service that storage is
necessary for the successful reclama-
ton of the immense segregated area
In southern Idaho, and attention will
be forcibly directed either to the Jack
son lake scheme or to the American
Fails reservoir proposition.
Engineer LaRue recently establish
ca gauging stations at Blackfoot and
Neeley, where accurate records will
be kept of the Snake river flow, Sim
liar stations are already established at
the Minidoka and Miner dams.-Poca-

START MOVEMENT
FOR GOOD ROADS
Commercial GLIB and A1lD 01
Appeal to County.
ONE NILE OF MACADAM WILL BIZ
PUT IN AS EXPERIMENT.
Ranchers Asked to Give Aid by TAX
ing Contract to Finish Road Com.
petltive Bids.

During the present session OF the
county commissioners, committee Of
men from the Commercial club and
the Automobile club waited upon them
with proposition to put in one milo
OF rounded and graded road with a
macadam surface anywhere in the
county where the ranchers along such
road would offer the best inducement
in the way of contributing labor and
money to help in the building. The
county commissioners showed a will
ingness to consider the proposition
and the plan devised Is for the county
to open to competitive bids the con-
tract for finishing one mile OF maca-
dam road anywhere in the county
where the ranchers will make the best
and cheapest bid for completing the
work.
The object of the movement is to
increase the desire for good roads and
it is thought that If one mile of such
road is put in others will speedily fall
into line. 1t is expected that some OF
the money for the first mile will be
raised by popular subscription among
the auto owners of the city and tract.

According to the story of Lineman
Owen, who was working on the same
shift with Whitehead, the two were
employed on private telephone line
of the company with higher voltage
than that of the Bell system yet not
strong enough to electrocute anyone.
Owens was startled to hear cries from
his companion who was on the pole
among the wires and looked to see
Whitehead with q line clutched in
each hand unable to let go because of
the current running through him.
Owen started to relieve his compan-
ion and believing him to be capable
of getting down all right neglected to
put a safety belt around Whitehead
who, when his hands were released
plunged to the pavement.
Mr.. Whitehead after two days of
Inconsistencies, passed away early

Gregory's struggles but being unable
to swim was only able to throw rope
to the victim in the water and Gre
CORY was too agitated to note the rope
when thrown to him and sank before
the eyes of his would-be rescuer.
Friends and neighbors of the dead
man were summoned and search be-
gun for the body, about hundred men
joining the searching party. The water
was shut out of the canal also in order
to facilitate the finding of the body
which had evidently been carried down
stream by the swift currant The body
was finally located Wednesday after
noon as it was going through the
headgates.
According to the story of Mrs. Gre
CORY, her husband left home, which is
very near the canal, saying that he
was going to swim across the canal
and get cooled off. The young man at
the canal stated that Gregory did not
get clear across but began to sing

A Former Slave Dies Rich.

Margaret Pryor, the richest negro
woman in Kentucky by virtue of the
will of Maj. B. G. Thomas, whose slave
and housekeeper she was for years, died
recently in the mansion left to her by the
master of Hiravila stud. The money
that was accumulated by Maj. Thomas
during his lifetime will not be divided
among the colored relatives of the aged
negress. The will of Maj. Thomas
caused storm of protests from his rela-
tives and friends, as, in addition to be-
queathing the bulk of his fortune to the
negress, he inserted a clause that at her
death she should be buried by his side
IN the Lexington cemetery.

Saved Old Lady's Hair.

MY mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it l had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and tie doctors did it no good
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scaling of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
Of seventy-four.
My own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then l thought l would fee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cutlcura Ointment. I did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun
