Near to Natures Heart On Magic Lake

Ten days ago, the Recorder editor
invitation Of Secretary Essley and
Manager Kays, of the Idaho Irriga-
rion Company to take trip out to the
Magic reservoir. The Big wood river
IS in flood, and the reservoir is full and
running over the spillway, so that ii
presents a sight worth seeing and
mentioning. Besides that, the com
pany officers desired to take a trip out
70 the reservoir, to see something OF
conditions up the Big Wood and Malad
rivers
Leaving Richfield a little before noon,
with Messrs. Kays and Essley, Dr.
Davies, Mr.. Baldwin of the U. S. geo.
logical survey force, and the writer
the party had a fine trip out to the
dam in Mr.. Essley's fine new Hup-
mobile. Almost everyone knows how
good are the roads of the Richfield
highway district, so that part of the
ride was one continual round of pleas
ure. The farther end of the road is
in need of some good working and il
is suggested that it would be good
business for the highway board as
men can be had from their spring
work, to set a force of men to repair
the road clear up to the boundaries of
the district at least
From the hill against which the dam
is built, there is a magnificent view
of the reservoir, stretching for miles
and miles up the valley; also the spill
way down which a cataract of water
is roaring, after it has filled the reser-
voir. The water is taken out about a
quarter of a mile below the dam, over
the solid docky ledge that has been |
there unchanged for a million years,
and no stretch of the imagination
could the widest freshet, cloud burst
or other flood of water affect the dam
itself There would be a spillway al
most half a mile long and IA feet deep
to carry away the flood before it
could run over the darn itself That's
a wide factor of safety-it would carry
two or three Mississippi rivers before
water could lap over the crest of the
dam itself. The cataract pouring over
the spillway now, about 190 feet of
fall into the precipitous canyon, is GER
tainly magnificent sight. 1t makes

LOCAL CONCERT
Fine Program For The Sunday
School Piano Fund

An interesting program was given al
the church, Friday night wnen Miss
Prudence Fowler's Sunday School class
took the initiative in getting up an en-
tertainment for paving its quota on the
piano fund.
The band was there and played sew
eral highly appreciated pieces. Mrs.
Kays sang a solo that was well re-
ceived, as also did Mrs. Taper, Mrs.
Schwaner, and Mrs. Pagan. Mr.. and
Mrs. Lisle gave a duet, and Mr.. Nc
Arthur a reading that was vociferous
ly applauded and encored. Mrs. Gar
lock also sang a beautiful solo, ano
Mrs. ]. B. Lem'mon a violin solo that
was encored. And the little children of
Mrs. Fowler's class put on a play en-
titled Mothers Writing Desk" that

(Along in January, The Country Gen
tleman, farm and home magazine OF
national reputation and circulation, pub
lished an article on "Grit and a Grub
Hoe" that attracted good deal of at
tention for its breezy vigor. 1t was
written by Farmer BilP' w. S. Park
hurst, farmer, man of the world, and
secretary of the Richfeld Community

not always farmed-you may judge for
yourself when you read his story of life
here on the Richfeld Tract. 1t has
seemed that this should be an especial
ly good argument to present to possi-
BILE or prospective immigrants who will
receive the Recorder for the next few
weeks; and so the article is here repro
duced in full:)

Richfeld has fine chance to be rep
sented on the democratic ticket this
fall, in the person of w. T. Dougherty
as candidate for secretary of state.
Mr.. Dougherty's friends have been
doing some clever and consistant work
over the state, and have come to the
conclusion that there is not likely to be
even an opposing candidate for the
nomination at the primaries. Mr.
Dougherty has been merely "a Demo-

last Monday to which all those inter-
ested in this road We're invited to tell
what the people really wanted -Four
autos, with nineteen people, went from
Richfield, five from Haley, two from
Arco; one came up from Gooding; two
people dropped in incidentally to tell
the commission what to do. They
looked over the congregation, heard
the list of organizations and the local
tiles represented, listened to the argu-
ment for an hour or so-and then the
Honorable Miles Cannon, of the Com
follows:
Gentlemen, it is hardly necessary
to take further time on this matter
This commission has no option in "A
matter as plain as this seems to be- The
law is mandatory on US to build these
roads where they will best serve the
gument for any other route. We have
no option in such a case, even If the
Zimmerman Hill route did cost great
deal less money-which is doubtful; or
save distance, which could not be a
great saving. The people to be served
live along the Richfield route, and it is
mandatory for us to serve them Gen
tlemen speaking for myself and for
the legal obligations of the Commits
sion, the road will be built through
Richfeld, and you can get ready for it
just as soon as you like"
He didn't exactly use these words
but this was the substance of his ad-
dress. Mr.. Cannon has long been
known as a clever and forceful speaker
but he outdd himself this time, in the
estimation of the people who went
down to hear him.
The commission is planning to build
the road from Twin Falls to the Saw
tooth mountains one of the most used
and most delightful roads in the state.
1t will be somewhat more than $50

have nearly 35 miles of the very finest
of roads already built in the route.
The Richfield district already has
about six miles of road completed

besides that between here and Sho-
shone. Work is now being done on a
two mile section to connect the present

reservoir is already FULL and we could
not possibly use any more than that.

About four miles up the Big Wood
