shows signs of weakness, the tunnels
can be opened and the water line low
cred to a perfectly safe level rather
than risk washout. If the dam will
stand one good saturation and settle
without cracking the core, the danger
point will have passed, and the cost
OF making some extra tunnels and
headgates would be justified for pur-
poses of safety to the people below.
These changes can easily be made,
and we believe all parties would
agree upon this as safe course to
pursue. The settlers could then
have the water ready for next sea-
sons crops, and the canals already
built and tested, absolutely putting
to route the claims of those who said
they would never hold water On ac-
count of the peculiar gravely forma-
ton of the Lost River country, would
carry the life giving streams to the
new farms on the tract SO that at this
time next year they can be reaping a
bounteous harvest.
Lost river has had enough big fail
ures, and this project should be car
rled through to big success.
A further discussion of this ques-
lion is printed on the editorial page.

EGBERs ANNOUNCES

Robert c. Egbers of Occur d'Alene,
Idaho, who is candidate for nominal
ton on the republican ticket for
State Superintendent of Public In
struction, was born near Carthage,
Hancock County, ILL.,, forty-four years
ago, where he received his early
training and education, and where he
taught his first two terms of school.
In March, 1886, he decided to "go
west" Settling at Ritzville, Wash
ington, he continued in the profession
OF teaching, and passing the examina-
ton tests with almost perfect grades
his ability was at once recognized by
his appointment as examiner of teach
erS.
= In 1888, at the age of twenty-five
years, he cast his first ballot, voting
for Benjamin Harrison for president,
and ever since has been a consistent
republican. During this same cam
paign he was nominated by unani-
nous vote of the republican conven-
ton of Adams County, Wash, for
County Superintendent of Schools.
and elected by more than his par
ty vote. To this Office he was unani-
mously re-nominated, and by more
than his party vote, reelected for
the next two successive terms.
In 1897 he removed with his fam
lily to Kootenai county, Idaho, where
he has since resided and where he is |
best known. He has served Kootenai |
county as county superintendent of
schools for three successive terms,
and one term as Probate Judge, al
ways being elected by popular major
tiles. A very remarkable fact show
ing his popularity as superintendent
OF schools is, that he never had an
opposing vote in convention for
nomination to that position.
He has been constantly in school
work for the past twenty-five years
except two years service as Judge.
His experience in school work has
extended to the various lines and de-
but his widest experience
covering twelve years has been as
uperintendent of schools. He has
'assed all the examinations for teach
RS in the State of Idaho, and holds
life diploma with an average grade {
# 95 per cent, issued on a regular I
tate examination four years ago.
He is a popular official, honest and
ompetent, and splendid vote-get- I
or. If he is nominated he will prove I
strength to the republican state G
cket. n
He is forty-four years of age and v
the prime of life. Speaking of his 9
wn candidacy, he says. eff nominal II

IN gravel by itself and dry cement by
itself, the trench being full of water,
and in the end he said it would all
be in there together. The construct
ing engineer said the dry cement
would from the lrst shovel full, diff
fuse itself through the whole mass
OF water like SO much ink, and the
gravel would all go to the bottom,
making trench full of washed gray
ell, and the water would gradually
flow out as the trench was filed, leav-
ing only clean gravel. The way to
get the concrete in place was to
chute it down through a pipe or cylin-
der, placing it exactly where it was
wanted, and that it would harden
without moving.

the view of Mr.. Chandler who saw
the Professor in shafts as he went

are inclined to remark that the irri-

had occasion to build

since that time, the wonderful agri-
cultural development of the rich and
now famous golden valley has not only
made it the greatest primary grain
shipping point in the United States,
but also one Of the best and most
talked about business towns in the

The present population is about L.
500, and The town is growing so rap
idly that it is almost impossible to
keep track of the advancement.
The golden valley is singularly for
