Drainage Big Problem.

"This drainage problem is one OF
the most important that the recla-
nation service now has to solve,
says Mr.. Newell at is a vital one
Wherever irrigation has been prac-
ticed for any length of time from
one-quarter to one-third of the lands
has been ruined from the lack OF
proper drainage facilities and from
the application of too much water.
"What is needed most is cam
paign of education, and that is what
we intend to inaugurate. Through
the application of too much water the
farmers have been running their lands
by washing out the fertility of them.
Then, too, they must be taught to use
a large head of water for irrigation,
putting the water on quickly in large
quantities instead of keeping small
stream running for an extended peri
cd of time. This campaign of educa-
ton must be carried on while drain
age systems are being built"

Thousands of people suffer heavy
loss in the aggregate every year by
allowing small quantities of fruit and
vegetables to go to waste for want Of
nearby market, and it is to prevent
this loss that the Santa Fe will start
movement which traffic officials of
that company believe will be far
reaching The details of the new SER
vice have been worked out, but the
general plan was decided upon several
days ago. Special refrigerator cars
will be sent over the line on stated
days to pick up small shipments of
fruit and vegetables. At terminal
points these small shipments will be
transferred, and each kind of shipment
go forward in carload lots to available
markets. This is in addition to the
present regular refrigerator train SER
vice.

Avoid sedative Cough Medicines.

If you wish to contribute directly to
the occurrence of Capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines
that contain codeine, morphine, heroin
and other sedatives when you have a
cough or cold. An expectorant like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what
is needed. That cleans out the Gull
ture beds or breeding places for the
germs of pneumonia and other germ
diseases. That is why pneumonia
never results from.a cold when Cham
berlain's Cough. Remedy is used. It
has world wide reputation for its
cures. 1t contains no morphine or
other sedatives. For sale by all
dealers.

That state wide prohibition will be
the leading issue of the campaign of
1914 and that the political parties will
do well to recognize it is the belief of
Emmett D. Nichols of Boise, prohibit
ton nominee for governor in the last
campaign, and author of a book rec
emily published entitled, "The Second
Declaration of Independence" in
which he attacks the liquor license
laws as being contrary to the state
and federal constitutions. No man in
the state, perhaps, is more conversant
with the strength of the temperance
people in Idaho than Mr.. Nichols in
view of the fact that he has campaign
ed almost every section of the state
numerous times in behalf of the tenn
perance cause.

URGES PARTNERSHIP
WITH UNCLE SAM
State Should Join Hands With
Government in Reclama-
ton Work.

Idaho is urged to join hands with
the reclamation service and redeem
her impaired irrigation securities by
F. H. Newell, director of the service.
He takes the position that the state
should assume the responsibility for
Carey act projects that have not been
successful and take steps to appro-
pirate money to make them good.
"If the people of Idaho will show
that they appreciate their response
bility in this matter, for every dollar
the state will put up for use in COM
pleting these projects the reclamation
service can readily be induced to put
up dollar" said Mr.. Newell. "The
service has the funds and will meet
the state half way.
with the exception of the Twin
Falls South Side tract, every big Car
ey act project in Idaho has been I'M
successful. The state gave out the
impression that it stood behind these
projects and people who have invested
their money in these irrigation securi-
ties, only to see the investment wiped
out, are expecting Idaho to make good.
81 do not make this statement in a
spirit of criticism, but in desire to
help. The reclamation service stands
ready to help, but the state must make
the first move. Oregon found her
self in the same position that Idaho
stands today. She joined hands with
the reclamation service and her pro-
jects are now in fair way to be COM
pleted. Oregon put up s450,000 and
the reclamation service like amount.
"Until these projects are made good
only the government will be able to
finance irrigation enterprises of any
kind. AS it is now, you can't sell an
irrigation bond, and that condition is
direct result of the failure of these
Carey act projects.
"With that condition existing, and
there being at the same time demand
for the completion of more irrigation
projects, it is imperative that the
government have funds with which to
carry on the work. Secretary Lane
of the interior department is asking
for 100 million dollars as loan for
reclamation work. A few years ago
that would have sounded like ire
mendous sum, but it does not seem
to be causing a great deal of stir now,
and 1 would not be at all surprised if
it were forthcoming.

How much does bird eat? Take
a robin as an example. 1t eats at GER
tain seasons of the year about double
its weight of insects and worms every
day. Scientific men tell US that man
in order to satisfy an equally well-de-
veloped appetite would have to eat
about 300 pounds of food all told at
his three daily meals. To do this he
would need to be 80 feet tall, ten feet
thick from front to back and about five

Blomquist, representing the public

New Meadows a short time ago to
determine the question of whether or
not another electric light company
be allowed to establish plant and
sell electricity there. 1t is given out
that the new concern will be refused
the certificate allowing it to do bust
ness. If the certificate is not granted
an explanation of the reason will be
in order. Why should not any COM
pany be permitted to establish plant
at any time or place and thus protect
the people against the extortions of
