National Guard Must Change
War Game Program to Get
Joint Maneuyers

The regulars of the third battalion
Second Infantry, stationed at For
Shafter, will not be turned out either
on Sunday or on legal holiday to play
the war game with the National
Guard. This is the definite decision
OF the department commander, and as
the result the Guardsmen will either
have to put the cart before the horse
by having their big problem with the
regulars the first two days in camp,
or give up the idea altogether; and
fight" each other.
AS originally planned the militia
was to go into camp at MoanaIua the
25th of, this month. and General Ma
comb and Major Wholley had made
plans to turn out the Fort Shafter
battalion for the last two days of the
fVe-day camp, for joint problem.
Yesterday change in the dates was
announced, the camp being set at
from August 20 to September 2, so

The finding of $500 upon the body
OF John Howell at the inquest yester-
day evening together with the identi-
fication of the mans handwriting on

than that of suicide. r..
From the testimony of a Japanese
neighbor, several shots were fired in
Howelrs house shortly before the
body was discovered by Fritschi and
this evidence coupled with the fact
that there were two empty shells In
Their evolver clutched Inv Howell's

final PROOF NOW
|. EASIER TO Obtain
New Form for Affidavit Re
ceived at the Boise Land
Office.

The filing of new affidavit, the form
for which has just been received at the
Boise land office, will give the settler
on reclamation projects the right to a
final certificate even before the COM
pletion of the. works on his project
The instructions that have been re-
ceived here by the land officers carry
out the provisions of an act of con-
gress of Aug. ., 1912, enabling the set
tier to get his final certificate without
waiting for the finishing Of all of the
works Of the project This will apply
to all settlers on lands where water is
being delivered in part and where
enough of the water is being delivered
by the project to raise satisfactory
crops.
The showing that all of the require
ments of the law have been met and its
provisions complied with viii enable
the settler to get his certificate and
later his patent, He will now not have
to wait for the finishing OF that project
If he has paid all Of the assessments
against his property and has made the
water payments that have become dug
and has in every other way met the
provisions of the statutes. the register
and receiver are instructed to grant hin,
his final certificate and to give him the
title to the land without waiting, pos
sibly for years, before the completion
of every part Of the project itself
The new law is of material interest
to every settleg on reclamation prof
ects in the state. 1t means that they
get the certificates and patents pos
sibly years sooner than they would
otherwise and that the title to the land
Is obtained before 1t would have beer
under the old laws governing such
projects.

5,..lA1 DRAINAGE
SYSTEM FOR THE
IRRIGATED LAND
Government at Work Re-
claiming Over watered
Land Drainage an I'M
portant Factor.

Twice within the last few years Ito
acres of land near Nampa have been
reclaimed by the efforts of engineers
of the United States.
Years ago, When tile land lay within
q he vast arid desert Of the state, water
was brought 10 il and 1t was converted
into fertile garden and a valuable
orchard.
Today, after the water has soaked
and saturated the soil, and after the
water table under the earth has risen
to height that ruins the orchards and
kills off vegetation, the engineers have
installed Il drainage system that lowers
that water table at the rate of an acre
foot a day.
Strange as it seems, drainage is rap
idly becoming an important factor
even in the arid countries Of the great
west Wherever irrigation flourishes,
the drainage engineers are at work. a
few years Of constant soaking Of the
soil and seasons of irriagtion, unseien
tific and unnecessary, bring the
ground water closer and closer to the
surface attracts the aliali to the top
of the soil and kills off the vegeta-
ton that has been growing there.
Soaked SOL Reclaimed.
This was the case at Nampa. Now
a drainage system has been installed
On the land at cost of not more than
vS23 an acre and the soaked soil is be-
ing drained of it's superabundance of
water the water table is being rap
idly lowered, and the soil made once
again to produce the valuable crops of
apples and prunes that it did few
years ago.
The government engineers superin-
tend the work of installing the system,
the first Of its kind in Idaho. The
tile pipes We're laid seven and eight
feet into the ground and right in the
bed of the water table that was run
Ming the crops. For 1900 feet, the tile
piping carries the water away from the
land and out into a slough and part ~
that distance the line had to be tun-
nelled through a hill in order to reach
its outlet.
Construction Difficult.
Though this was the first drainage
system that has been installed in
southern Idaho. 1t is probably the most
expensive that viii be used The
ground through which the engineers
worked was hard nan while the tun-
mel that had to be put in was through
{ -olid rock. All Of this cost money.
,ther systems that are now planne
kill probably not cost as much and the
Frate can be lowered by the engineers
materially.
On the ground where this system
was installed, the water had killed off
1000 trees that had been planted last
wear The alkaH had been creeping
toward the surface. Now, the fov-
eminent is taking away the water Of
the rate of an acre foot a day and Its
pipes are carrying a constant stream

the ways in the Democratic party.
Wilson is big man, but il hardly seems
possible for him to reconcile the differ
emit ideas of Murphy and Bryan Under
wood and Burke. the Democracy of the
south and east is generally recognized
as ultra conservative OF the west rad
ically progressive. Whichever faction
controls the other will be dissatisfied
and with party lines sitting as lightly
as they do now 4 split seems inevitable.
4 WAS naturally greatly grattied at
the esteem in which | found Senator
Borah held everywhere on the trains
and in the hotels the first remark in

than once ] heard the remark that he
was of presidential caliber In fact the
general impression concerning him was
that he would land in the presidents
chair If he succeeded in steering a true
course through the troubled political
waters for the next four years.
There was never any question in my
mind as to the ultimate future of the
Progressive party, but had | been the
rankest skeptic the Chicago conference
would have convinced me. The univer-
sal sentiment there was that the new
party had been founded on certain
great political principles and economic
truths which demanded a national po-
litical party to advance and support
The party must live and win because
It Is the product OF twentieth century
