A Real Feminine smoker.

From the New York Tribune.
At a supper which took place after
the theater one evening last week AT a
home. which is known for its elaborate
hospitality, there was present a woman
from Southern Europe who had been in
this country only a few days. When
the cigarettes were passed she declined
to take one, and in answer TO her neigh
boris question said that she never smoked
cigarettes. II am surprised" said the

Only a Few Score Candidates.

There are only a few score men in
the state of Idaho who are convinced
that they are peculiarly qualified for
membership on the public utilities
commission created by the legislature.
1t is said that applications for ap-
pointment are coming in daily. The
great attraction is the salary. This
salary is 100000 per annum and ex-
penses. 1t is no wonder that there is
keen hankering in the bosom of
many a man. Four thousand dollars
and perquisites are not to be idlv
cast aside-not by long shot-suoh
sums do not come the way of all of
us every day in the year or even every
year in lifetime.
1t the results to the people are to
be commensurate with the cost and
expectations Governor Haines must
exercise the soundest judgment in
selecting the members of the COM
mission. As the work of the tax
commission has been placed upon
the shoulders of the public utilities
commission some of the members of
the latter body should be tax experts,
Some OF the members must have given
public service corporations, their
methods and their products, some
study. All of the members should be
big, able, broad-minded men Thew

rights of the public but with strict
regard to the rights of capital The

latives and friends of the contracting
parties. All the little gentlemen wore
dress suits and the ladies evening
gowns, with long trains. The father
of the bride, Tom Bailey, sang very
touchingly the old song "Silver
Threads Among the Gold" Both he
and his wife; little Mary Elizabeth
Haley, were quite gray and slightly
lame. Mrs. Cole played the wedding
march and just before the ceremony
Ora Wallace sang ooh, Promise Me-"
The bride and groom were preceded
by eight little flower girls and four
bridesmaids and groomsmen and the
ring-bearer. The brides maids were
dressed in light blue and pink, the
bride being gowned in white, wearing
a wolfe, which was held in place with
orange blossoms.
The ceremony was performed by
George Ackley. The brides vow be-
ing to keep all buttons sewed on and
to have hot biscuit for breakfast every
morning. After the guests had con-
graduated the bridal couple all were
seated and ice-cream was served to
the entire company. The scraping of
dishes and the licking of spoons were
greatly enjoyed bv the audience, as
well as by the children themselves,
who certainly did full justice to the
treat .l.
The bride was little Nellie Bailey
and the groom was Joe Roddy.

Drainage Experiment . Success.

w. G. Sloan, the government drain
age inspector, after an inspection of
the ground east of Nampa, where
drainage bitches of tile were put in
last fall, says that the experiment is a
success. According to the Nampa
Record the bitches are running two
thirds full and the water table has
been lowered 81 feet. Mr.. Sloan was
delighted with the result of his ex-
pertinent at Nampa as it proves con-
clusively that alkali troubles from
seepage Can be overcome. This DEM
onstration which Mr.. Sloan has had
charge of shows that big body of
fnel and lying between Nampa and
Caldwell can be reclaimed He said
that further work will be prosecuted
this spring and he expected to start
drainage work on another orchard in
the alkali section at an early date.
Sooner or later drainage problems
arise III every extensively irrigated
section. The entire section of the
country surrounding Caldwell, known
as the Pioneer Irrigation district, is to
be drained. Preparatory to the inau-
guration of the work the experiments
withtiling were made that there would
be no question of the success of the
system contemplated by the people. A
great amount of land will be reclaimed
both above and below Caldwell. With
a complete system the Dixie country
will again assume its former product
ivity.

fed. That progress was made will be
fully acknowledged by all. The d.
rect primary law was amended in the
following particulars: the date OF the
election is made the first Tuesday in
September; nomination papers for the
offices of district judges and justices
of the supreme court must not state
the political faith of the candidate;
second choice voting is not mandatory
although second choice may be ex-
pressed; and greatest and foremost
every person offering to vote at
primary must state his political affilia-
tons and if challenged must take oath
that he intends supporting the candi-
dates of his party at the next election;
and again no person who votes at a
primary will be allowed to join in
nominating independent candidates to
run against those regularly elected at
the primary election. The last cleo
ton showed the wisdom of the
amendments adopted at this session.
These amendments to the law were
suggested by Governor Haines in his
message to the legislature. The ad-
ootion of the amendments is highly
gratifying to the Governor and will
be appreciated by all good citizens
irrespective of party.
The changes made in the general |
election laws are mainly along the
line of economy. Repeated registra-
ton is done away with. So long as
the voter remains in the precinct he |
is entitled to vote at all elections. The !
elimination of registration year after i
year will save the taxpayers of the |
state hundreds of thousands of dol |
lars at every election. The same thing |
applies to irrigation districts and |
municipalities.
While it 10 alleged that the teeth
OF the Ryan public utilities commits
sion bill were drawn before passage
yet The Tnibnne is very glad the COM
mission was created. If experience
shows that the teeth were drawn the
next legislature will furnish a set of
false teeth that will be as good as the
natural in every way. The step has
been taken. We have a legally con-
stituted body to stand between the
people and the public service corpora
tons. We have made some advance.
BY the time the next legislature
meets the people will know whether
or not they have been handed lemon.
In case they have there can be no
mistake as to what will be done two
years hence. However, we believe that
the Ryan law will be found effective.
II will help reat deal. If nothing
else It has served notice on public
service corporations that the day of
piilage and plumber is over forever in
this state.

COUNTY DIRECTORY
IS A VALUABLE
WORK

R. L. Polk & Co., have Just issued
the 1918 Canyon County Directory,
which contains an alphabetical list of
the business firms and private citizens
OF Caldwell, Emmett, Fruitland, Mid
dleton, Nampa, New Plymouth, No
tus, Parma and Payette, and they
particularly call attention to the in
formation contained in this directory.
The advantages will be readily seen
by those. who, through constant use,
are. familiar with the general style
and makeup of the average county
directory. This arrangement, they
believe, will enable patrons, and the
novice as we'll, to readily find the in
formations desired.

The Scope of Work done.

In Idaho where THE government is

nations of arid lands having under
way at the present time two large and
important projects-the Payette-B Boise
and the Minidoka-a summary of the
work completed by the government
reclamation service throughout the
west will prove interesting. The
summary given below will furnish THE
reader with an idea of the great work
the government is doing in the recla-
nation of our arid land:
At the end of 1912, the area of all
projects under construction BY the
service was 3.020,689 acres Irrigation
works had been completed for 1,237, l73
acres, and there was irrigated during
1912 and area of 643,155 acres in H.
O58 farms. In the line of construction
work, there had been completed res
ervoirs of 4,o83,81O acre-feet aggre-
gate capacity; 1896 miles of irrigation
and drainage canals; 81 "a miles of
20 storage dams; Is diversion
dams; 81H miles of leveee; 1878
canal structures; 25,1O3
wooden canal structures; 3,1l1
oeridges; 3,lO6 culverts; l40 miles of
pipe lines; 1922 flues having total
ength of II miles; 822 buildings; 344
wells; GA miles of roads; 48 miles of
2,202 miles of telephone
inc; 345 miles of transmission line;
md IL power plants, having a total
of 25,ll6 horsepower. The
service has also mined 26,45l tons of
oal, and manufactured 338,4s8 barrels
# Portland cement and 28,6O8 barrels
# sand cement.
In accomplishing the foregoing
work., there have been excavated o.
03,0OO cubic yards of earth and there
ave been placed 408383 cubic yards
# riprap, 4o2,O6l cubic yards of con-
rete. In addition to this concerto
here has been placed considerable |
mount of concrete masonry. In this |
Masonry and the concrete there were
sed 1,479,08 barrels of cement.
