AGAINST CHANGE
IN THE DIRECTORS
Boise Man Makes Inspection
of Canyon Canal and Is
Satisfied.

That the settlers under the Emmett
irrigation district cannot afford to
change horses in the middle of the
stream, and therefore should not swan
directors of the district, turning down
an old and experienced director for a
new and inexperienced one, is the opin-
ion of w. II. Gilberd of this city, who
has just returned from an inspection of
the district canal made at the request
Of the directors reporting to them He
declares that the directors have done
all that men could do in handling the
important work on the old Canyon
canal and that if all three are left in
charge they may not be able to COM
plete repairs on the canal this winter
but they will have it in such good con-
dition that plenty of water will be de-
livered next spring.
Il went over to inspect the Canyon
canal at the request of the directors,
said Mr.. Gilberd. Il found that they
had accomplished a great deal-as
much as could be expected under the
circumstances, and ] believe that If all
of them remain in charge they will be
able to finish their work to the salts
faction of ALL
"R. v. Wilson is the director whose
term expires this month and the
settlers will be called upon to fill the
vacancy. To my mind they can do
nothing better than retain Mr.. Wilson
In office for another term. He is ex-
perienced and knows the work. To
change him would mean placing in the
dictatorship a man inexperienced and
who would have to take some time
before he could become familiar with
the conditions there. l feel satisfied
after an inspection that if Mr.. Wilson
is retained in office the settlers will
have no need to complain.
"The main canal in the district Is the
old Canyon canal. Bonds to the amount
Of $111.00O were authorized sold to
carry on the work. Part Of the bonds
were disposed Of and with this money
after the district was formed the d.
rectors were empowered to improve the
canal 1t was in bad shape and 1t was
necessary to remove from three to four
miles of pine fumes. In their place
steel fumes are being installed. The

strengthened and concrete is used in
some parts of 1t. If the work at pres
ent being carried on is allowed to con-
tinue the canal will. under the super
vision of the directors, be placed in
excellent condition. The directors, to
my mind. cannot do any better than
they are doing now. The banks are
helping out financially and progress is
being made. 1t Is for this reason I
believe 1t would be unwise on the part
of those who live in the district to

BOAT DRILLS NECESSARY ON
 OCEAN LINERS

London. July 1.-The necessity for more efficient boat drills on ocean liners and systematic organization of the crews was one of the most pow erful lessons drawn from the Titanic disaster, according to Sir Rufus Isaacs, attorney general who, today, concluded his argument in the Titanic inquiry. He said it was inexplicable, from the evidence, why the 1ifeboat, ! that took off Sir Cosmo and Lady Duff Gordon, contained only I persons instead of 40, its capacity, and why no effort was made by the boats oc- cupants to rescue from drowning those who, it was testified, were struggling in the water

This remarkable tale, in Which
each character is sketched from
life by a master hand, goes be-
meath the surface of modern So
ciety and lays bare the canker at
the root. Like all Mr.. Dixon's
work, it is a tale of American
life, essentially true in MePicture
it draws and done With a swing
ing power which brings its dra-
matte scenes home to us. The
splendid strength of the tale lies
in the conflict between James
Stuart and Nan, in which love
and greed of wealth struggle for
mastery.

The women wore curious light robes
of cotton fiber which were drawn over

The strange figures began to move

Suddenly the music stopped with a

silvery note of a trumpet called from

death heads in the ceiling and on the
walls faded slowly. The trumpet
pealed a second signal-the darkness
