had very creditable Labor Day pa
rade today. The plans did not con-
template any demonstration of any
kind. but a quiet parade to show the
strength OF organized labor and to plan
for further organization. There was
la picnic east Of the city, and general
closing down of all business because of
that fact.
The laboring men report that in all
departments there is general satisfac-
ton over wage conditions in the state
and little probability Of strikes unless
due to purely local conditions.
Preparations will be made for an
active campaign before the legislature
for new legislation.

IDAHO FALLS, Ida, Feb. o.-Idaho
Falls is irrevocably committed to the
principle of municipal ownership of pub
lie utilities, Some years ago the city
voted to adopt thls system of civic re:
form, and in pursuance of the voice of
her citizens an open canal was construct
ed, headline in Snake river seven miles
above the city, and carrying body of
water to convenient fall provided by
nature, lust at the eastcrly border OF
the municipality.
The machinery located at this place
produced the power, for supplying the
city with water and with lights.
This system originally constructed at
an approximate cost of $4,000, stands
today as clean asset to the city for
through the revenues received for lght
and water the plant has paid for itself
But the canal was not adequate for
the Idaho Falls Of today. Its capahlli-
ties are insufficient TO meet existing
demands. Other and better methods
of furnishing light and water for these
1000 people is requisite.
The old system is by no means use
less adjunct. 1t can he used TO profit by
the city for surface irrigation, or 1t
can be sold 10 the farmers below who
can make il as convenient feeder for
the Goshen canal, which waters the
splendid farm land below the city.
Today the city is not possessed of the
character of light ii should have. The
open ditch freezes and breaks. and the
water is spilling. flooding the upper part
of the residential portion of the city;
besides power from the Idaho Power
and Transportation company is being
used to furnish electric energy for lights
throughout the entire business portion
of the city at rate which would repre-
sent approximately $4,000 annually.
The spirit of the citizens of advanced
thought, and they are in the great ma
iority here, is for an efficient water and
light system second TO mono in the cities
of the bright new west. This spirit
shines out resplendently here in streets,
lawns, hospitals, a CONNER

OF FARMERS

son Smith. Jr., the court commission
sr who has charge OF the division of the
waters OF Utah lake, held a meeting
with the board OF canal commissioners
md the farmers who own lands sur
rounding Utah lake, Wednesday, at Jor-
dan Narrows.
The farmers have been complaining
that the divertng dam at the narrows Is
responsible for water being backed up
Into the lake and flooding the lands of
farmers in that locality, and urged that
come action be taken to remedy the
matter. They were represented at the
meeting by Professor Hinckley of the
Brigham Young university al Provo.
The city engineer and the board OF
canal commissioners were OF the opinion
that the back water was not caused by
the present dam. but II was decided 10
have Mr.. Smith make surveys for plans
for a new diverting dam and intakes for
the various canals taking water out Of
the Jordan river.

are supposed to be collecting money for

editor OF one OF the strongest Christian
papers published In New York City that

Orientals with a letter from a bishop and
other people, who were working the
country Just as they are, and that the
whole thing is a fraud and that none of
the American Christian societies In the
Orient knows anything of these people
or their charitable works. with very

heavenward and said: My God-he
