5. S. ASSOCIATION
SURPASSED ALL
EXPECTATIONS

Hitherto the Sunday school work
in the state of Idaho has not met
with any great success, but the three
sectional state conventions just closed
at Weiser, Twin Falls and Blackfoot
have passed all expectations. The
combined enrolment of registered
delegates was over 800. The num-
ber at Blackfoot was slightly less
than either of the other two, but
there were fewer Sundays schools
to be represented. The general Sec
retary, Mr.. E. G. Knapp, of Spokane,
and all the general workers, who at
tended all the conventions pronounc-
ed the Blackfoot convention as sur
passing them all in general interest
and worth.
The prominent speakers from out
of the state we're: C. A. Phipps, of
Portland; John L. Alexander, OF
Chicago; and Mr.. and Mrs. e. g.
Knapp, of Spokane. These latter two
have given four months of their
time without charge during the last
year to the work of the Idaho S. S.
association. For the first time in
the history of the state we have the
Sunday school work on it's feet and
really accomplishing something. 1t
is hoped that at the meeting of the
general S. S. council, which meets in
Boise, Thursday evening this week,
some arrangements may be made
whereby they may become perman-
ept officers of the Idaho S. S. associa-
tion.
1t seems altogether probable now
that the coming IL months will be
the greatest year inthe history OF
the Sunday school work of Idaho.
If the various county organizations
realize their opportunities and rally
to the support of the state officials
this will unquestionably prove true

HIGH WATER BROKE DAM WITH
HEAVY DAMAGE TO
UTAH LAND

Waters of the Sewer River Seeped
Through Structure to Such Extent
That a Section Gave way and Flood
Destroyed All Crops in its Path.
Rfchfield Utah, May 29.-Under
the pressure of high water resulting
from rains, unusually high water and
fast melting snow in the mountain
canyons of the headwaters of the
Sewer river the Hatchtown dam,
seventy-two miles south of Marys-
vale, sixty miles south of the piute
dam and adjacent to the little settle
ment of Hatch, in Garfield county,
broke at about seven p. M, Monday,
releasing more than 1900 acre-feet
of water.
At midnight it was estimated that
the flood had caused damage aggre-
eating in the neighborhood of $780,
900. The dam cost about $50,
in it's construction. The diversion
dam, two miles above Panguitch,
which the flood is also believed to
have swept away, is added, while
it is known that water measuring de-
vices used by the government in mea-
|suring the flow of the Sewer, esti-
mated to be worth $4,000 have been
destroyed. Some residents of Rich
field seemed of the opinion tonight
that possible damage to canals and
other property and the resultant loss
of crops from lack of water may
raise the loss to several hundred
thousand dollars.
Heavy seepage in the down river
slope of the dam, which was sixty
five feet high, was discovered at 2
o'clock in the afternoon by a watch
man. Slight seepage was observed
Saturday, but it was not considered
dangerous then, the dam being an
earth fill $50 feet wide and spanning
gorge in Sewer river canyon. Mon
day the seepage developed into little
streams .trickling through the down
stream slope of the dam. Running to
Hatch the watchman spread the
alarm.
Gathering a crew of workmen, the
watchman returned to the dam. Plans
were being made to guard the dam
all night, but no sooner had work
men prepared for operations to stoT
the leaks than big slice of earth
undermined by the flood waters neal
a dam tunnel, fell

AROUND THE COURT HOUSE

The work in court is practically
completed for this term, but it has
not adjourned. Judge Stevens has
case to hear which was to be tried
before some other judge, and he is
keeping the term open for that pur-
pose.
A new section of cement walk has
been laid in front of the garage, and
some coping that was going to pieces
on the east side of the court yard
has been rebuilt. The defective work
is said to have been done by White
and Keith about two years ago.
The steel filing case that was in
the office of the county superinten-
dent of schools has been placed in
the assessors office and new one,
more suitable, has been bought for
the county superintendent of schools.
The tinting, painting and paper
ing some rooms, has been finished.
Some of the filing cases and shelves
were cleaned by wiping out the &C
cumulated dust, and things are bet
ter than they were.
County Clerk Carruth has complet-
ed the five sets of papers required
to complete the appeal of Jessie
Lloyd, in which the county commits
sioners appeal from the decision of
Judge Bulge indicating that she has
the right of appeal from the decision
of the commissioners cutting the
salary of Miss Lloyd from 500 to
$50 a month without notice or a
hearing. He has also completed a
similar set of papers for each of the
other deputies, Fackrel, Wray, Hull
and Fisher. The books indicate that
the charges for perfecting the ap-
peal are $125.SO and that they have
been paid to the county clerks Of
flee, but we are unable to say what
fund or whose pocket it came from.

THE MACKAY MINES

Joe Maddox, of Mackay, was visit
ing at Blackfoot part of the week,
and reports that business is quiet
in the copper city. A number of
leasers are working at the Empire
mine, and some ore is being hauled
down from Alder creek. Several
cars of coke are on the siding await
ing transportation to Clayton, but
have been delayed pending some set
lement of busines matters. A sale
of the Empire mine has been expect
ed for some time, but it is not yet
consumated and it is reported now
that the Lost Packer mill will
not operate this season. Taking it
all in all, business conditions are
about as usual at this time of the
year or little below the average.

COUNTY REPUBLICANS MEET

Tuesday the 9th of June at II
o'clock, noon is the time fixed by
county chairman r. N. West and sec
retary R. J. Dygert, for the meeting
ofthe republican county general COM
mittee at the court house in Black
foot to elect delegates to attend the
state platform convention at Boise,
on the ..... of June. All political
parties are required to hold their
conventions at the same time and
set forth the record of what they pro-
pose to stand for as to party prin-
ciples and policis.
Bingham county is entitled to six
delegates in the convention, and II
there is as little interest or as much
difficulty in getting delegates to make
the trip as there was two years ago
there will probably be fewer than
that in attendance at the capital.
The party is not wealthy, is not
strong on organization and "centrali-
zation of power" and allows each
delegate a tie pass and permission tc
pay his own expenses If he goes tc
help make the party platform.

REMEMBER DUMB ANIMALS


The Humane Association MAKE S
the following hot weather sugges-
tions which should be read with
care and then acted upon:
Dogs that have free access to
water able to stand hot weather
as well as people are. But they
need water even oftener than peo-
pie do because they perspire from
their tongue instead of from all
over their SKIN. All animals need
water where they can drink often
in su cnmer instead of once or twice
a day at their owners's convenience.
People who go off on vacation
trips leave their cats to stay at
home and take a vacation from
eating and drinking. The humane
societies receive many complaints
from neighbors who hear the cries
of deserted cats. bat who are I'M
able to adopt them.

ULIlMA[UM AUSTRIA
ISSUED TO SERVIA

|EH- LFt.~ "aH.#.H. aHN-.
Thursday night of last week the
Servian government received a
note from the Ausiro.H Hungarian
government bearing on the rela-
tions between the two countries
and dealing directly with the assas-
siuation at Sarajevo on June z8 of
.Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir
TO the Austrian throne.
The note reviews relations with
.SerVia since 1903 and complains
that although the Servian govern
ment promised loyalty to the Aus
tro-Hungarian government, it fail
ed to suppress subversive move
ments and agitations by the news
papers; that this tolerance has In
cited the Servian people to hatred
of the Austro-H Hungarian monarchy
and contempt for its institutions.
This, says the note, illuminated
in the Sarajevo assassinations.
which are proved by dispositions
and ronfessionssof the perpetrators
to have been Matched at Belgrade,
the arms and explosives having
been supplied by conniyance Of Ser
Wan officers and functionaries.
The Austro-HungaEian govern
mfnt,3' continues the note, "is uu-
able longer to pursue an attitude
of forbearance and sees the duty
pnt upon it to end the intrigues
which form a political menace to
the country's tranquility. 1t there
fore demands from the Sefvian gov.
eminent formal assurance that it
will condemn the subvereige pro-
.paganda, whose aim is to detach
from the monarchy o portion OF it's
territory and also that the Seryisn
government shall ho Hunger permit
the Vaccinations, and this crimi-
nal, peryerse propaganda"
The note then gives the terms Of
isng, formal declaration which
the Servian government ii required
to publish in its official journal on
the front page, condemning the
subyersiye propaganda, deploring
its fatal consequences, regrettiug
the participation of servian oficers,
|repudiating any further interfer-
|ence with Austro Hungarian inter
ests.
This declaration must be officially
proclaimed to the Servian army and
tho Servian courts must undertake
to suppress subversiye publications
