IMPROVEMENTS ON THE
CANYON CANAL
Twin Fumes at Black Canyon
to be Replaced by
Cement Work.

Superintendent Sissler of the En-
NETT Irrigation district is taking ad-
vantage of the good weather and is
pushing the improvement work on
the canal.
One of the largest pieces of work
is the removal of the twin steel
fumes at Black canyon, where the
same is to be replaced by cement
fiume built back into the earth sew
eral feet and to extend a distance of
so feet into the cut The twin fumes
will be rebuilt across Haw creek,
where the old wooden fume has al
ready been torn down and the mater
ial sold for about s160. The fume
on the south side near the R. C. Jones
ranch has also been removed and the
ditch is being built into the earth.
A force of men are at work repair
ing the aprons to the dam, and the
wooden headgate on lateral number
two has been removed and is being re-
placed by a cement one. The wood
was found to be in much better con-
dition than was expected from out
ward appearance and President Shane
states that if the other lateral head
gates are equally as good they will
not be disturbed at this time.

RANCHER LOSES EYE
Hay Fork Detroys Sight of One of
Tom Dayison's Eyes

As result of being struck in the
left eye by hay fork, Tom Dawson,
a mesa rancher near Hanna, will lose
the sight of that eye 1t is believed
his eye ball can be saved.
The unfortunate accident occurred
Monday morning on the Dave Sim
mons ranch, which Mr.. Dawson has
had leased during this season. He
was engaged in putting up hay and
was on top of a stack, when the der
rick fork tripped sooner than expect
ed and struck him in the face. One
tine pierced his eye.
After an examination by DR.. Rey-
nolds, the injury was considered so
serious that he was sent to Boise for
treatment. The physician there says
that while the sight of that eye is
destroyed, he thinks it will be posi-
BILE to save the eye ball.

Cemetery Road Improved

A much needed improvement has
just been made on the road leading
from the mesa grade to the grave
yard, which for long time has been
in very dangerous condition. The
Grand Army boys, headed by H. L.
Wilbur, had the work in charge, which
was all done by donations OF labor by
citizens and of money by the local
business men. 1t is a mighty good
piece of road work and reflects credit
on those in charge of same.

plurality statements from various in
complete counties.
The result on supreme court justice
is in doubt, not only because Judge
Walters is behind NJ Morgan in the
totals presented, but because he is ap-
parently not holding his own in south
eastern Idaho.
There is q question whether Lieu
tenant Governor Taylor is elected. He
is behind on the totals of the actual

he has pluralities in several counties

These include Oneida, Franklin, Bear
mont, where his supporters say he
will receive more than enough to over
come the difference shown in the.
totals.A
Attorney General Peterson has a
close margin and some fears are still
entertained that he will fall behind.
He has enough pluralities, however,
it is believed, coming from various
counties reporting only part of their
vote, and not included in the totals
given here, to overcome the 805 dis
advantage shown in the totals.
In any event the official count may
be required to decide the positions of
Justice of the supreme court, lieuten-
ant governor and attorney general.
There is no doubt as to the other po-
sitions.

AS the two men talked l noticed
the injured arm moving in the ban
dage. It seemed to me that the sling
hung loosely from the neck instead
OF being weighted down with the
wounded arm.
The French soldier was worriedly
keeping his eye on the open doorway,
waiting for the officer he had been
sent to ask for. My Swiss friend,
unnoticing, talked on, trying to as
sure the young German giant that no
harm would come to him.

Then I saw a thing that made me
give a half-yell.
"Iook out!" / think l shouted. "His
arm is out Of the bandage." I thought
the German was reaching for a re-

American banks. German banks have
shown particular aptitude in national
izing German overseas trade. The
shareholders Of German foreign trade
banks are composed Of manufacturers,
exporters, importers, steamship, rail-
road and insurance interests; all OF
which are financially interested in the
development Of foreign trade. Such
banks make loans to foreign govern
ments and municipalities for public
improvements and thus become a mart
of the business life of these countries,
and that trade follows finance is shown
by the enormous and rapid develop
ment of Germany's foreign trade. Wal
has brought this trade to a %standstill.
There are no German ships on the
seas and therefore the Latin Americas
particularly must look to the United
States to consume their raw material
and to supply them with manufactured
articles.

selected one. Numbers are not de-
sired, but experience and ability are,
for the problems to be discussed ara

gulf gateway is the natural outlet for
this trade, just as the north Atlantic
is for Europe and the Pacific coast for
the orient. Therefore the territory is
confined to that which has a direct
and selfish interest in the develop
ment of foreign trade via the southern

WORKING OF BRIDGE
EXPLAINED TO BOYS
Lincoln School Scout Patrol Arc
Shown How This Structure
is Operated.

The boy scouts of the Lincoln dis
trict, under the leadership of Miss
Helwig, principal Of the Lincoln
building, were guests one day this
week of the engineers on the bridge
who explained to them the working Of
the draw, the turn table, and all re-
lating to the operation of the bridge.
John H. Cole, superintendent Of
the bridge, Charles Harmon and z.
S. Cushman all took an interest in
their visit, much to the pleasure and
profit of the boys. For four years Miss
Helwig has had a squad of boy
scouts in her school. They have
learned the scout oath, the scout laws
and have fulfilled many of Che re-
for full fledged scouts.
Many problems OF discipline solve
themselves in a school where a feel
ing Of fellowship exists between the
principal and the older pupils.
