INSP[CTS LOST RIVER PROJECT.
Governor Haines Looks Over All But
Deserted Project.

! The all but deserted Big Lost river
| irrigation project under which there is
$4,000 acres of rich agricultural lands
in three bodies and the failure of
which caused those who settled upon
the land to move off, was inspected by
Governor John M. Haines OF this state
this week while the chief executive
was in the southeast, having gone to
Idaho Falls to open the War Bonnet
Roundup and the Bonneville county
fair. Governor Haines went over the
project from one end to the other, Sc
curing first hand information as to
the actual condition and TO learn
everything possible that he could from
the few actual settlers left, of whom
he met over half. He held out no
promises, but it was gathered from an
interview with him today that he in
spected the project to secure informa-
ton with a view of later submitting
his views to the land board on a pos
sible solution which might mean the
reclamation of the land.
Il propose to go over all of our ir-
rigation projects, inspecting them per-
sonally, because l want to see the ac-
tual conditions and to talk first hand
with the settlers on them" stated Gov
ernor Haines today. 81 had never
been over the Big Lost river project,
although | had been at Arco before
and had seen parts of the project. On
my trip this week to Idaho Falls I
took advantage of the opportunity to
make a complete trip from one end
of the project to another I talked
with a majority of the settlers on the
project and asked them what their
ideas of remedy of the condition on
the project might be. I visited with
some of them on their farms. One Of
these located on the Powell tract has
had a successful dry farming year,
| raising dry farm crops of wheat and
oats, the latter running 60 to 70 BUSH
els to the acre.
"The project is made up of three
tracts, making in all total of $4,000
| acres. The Powell tract is the largest

Schnaps.

Berlin. - Some revelations about
beer drinking by German children
have been made recently at the first
German congress for the non alcoholic
upbringing of children.
According to Doctor Won Strauss,
president of the first administrative
court. Babies are given schnaps and
children not yet ready for school take
bottles of beer with them to the play
ground. The majority of German
school children, girls and boys, III all
classes receive alcoholic drinks, ana
when past their twelfth year they par
take. as a matter of course, in the
habits of their parents-'mornings
after are nowise uncommon among
children, and there is a deep-rooted
theory that beer. wine and schnaps do
children no harm"
The congress demonstrated by sci
entific descriptions. by tabular proofs
and by the weight of the authority of
the foremost scientists in Germany
the disastrous results of his supersti-
ton.

cape with their lives of four firemen
in the falling of a burning roof and
damage to the extent of $4,000 were
the result of a fire which occurred in
the one-story brick stable in the rear
OF McGowan's Pass Tavern in Central
Park yesterday afternoon. The city
lost a lot of gardening tools which
were stored in the building.
The remote location of the tavern
caused considerable delay in the ar
rival of the fire apparatus, which was
summoned by Miss Helen Benin, the
young daughter of the proprietor.
Capt. John Tierney of Hook and
Ladder No. 13, with Probation Fire
man Arthur Norton of the same com
pany and Firemen James Roche and
Frank Dane of Hook and Ladder No.

roof when it gave way and sank into
the flaming building. The men leaped
wildly to ave themselves from being
carried with it and succeeded.
On the limb of a tree near the
stable sat a Japanese rooster, with
smoke and sparks all about him.
! When Miss Benin saw that she seized
her fathers coat. which he had toss
ed off on the turf. and, covered her
head to keep her hair from catching
fire, she pulled the rooster down and
flung him to safety. When he raised
Ia great cutlery Miss Benin realized it
was because his wife was on the
nest in the stable.
Before the firemen or her father
could stop her she had rushed into
the burning stable and came OUT
with a hen which cackled its graft
tude loudly, albeit in the English OF
the pigeons which were burned.
Many motoring parties were at the
tavern and a big group of men and
women watched the fire, the m
screaming when the firemen came so
near being caught in the blaze and
joining Miss Benin in her tears over
the loss of her pet pigeons and kit
tens.
