BLACK CANYON DIRECTORS
TO HEAR PROPOSITION

At the meeting the Black Canyon
directors on April 9th or 9TH, there
will be presented a proposition for
the building of system of irriga-
ton.
1t has been the attitude of the di-
rectors in the past to discourage any
outside" propositions, believing that
the government would make good
its implied promises to the settlers on
the lands, While they have good
reason to believe that Uncle Sam will
build the works at some future time,
they have decided to at least hear
what is offered.
According to a Washington special
which appeared in the Statesman of
March p, now that the $20,OOOOOO
has been appropriated, only the re-
ceipts from land sales and moneys re-
turned to the. reclamation fund by the
settlers will be available to cover the
cost of future work, and this will
mean an annual outlay of from S.
100000 to 100000 only. All talk of
getting further loan to the recla-
nation fund, in order to complete ex-
listing projects within a year or two,
seems idle, in view of the 49,, 100000
dehcit in the treasury. Therefore, it
is to be assumed that the work must
be carried forward under the normal
receipts, and this, in view of the adop-
ted policy, means no new projects
before 1921 or even later.

A Dangerous Contour.

The contour of Gem county is pecu.
liar, On the east, Squaw creek forms
a long narrow strip that runs to the
Adams county line During the confer.
ence of Andy Little and Governor
Alexander, before the bill was signed
the advantages of the new county
were reviewed by Mr.. Little in his
inimitable way. These advantages
were admitted by the governor, but
stated that it also had at least one
drawback. What is that?" inquired
Mr. Little, Well" replied the COVER
nor, If a man in the northeastern
end of Gem county were to over-in-
dulge in liquor he would be in danger
OF falling out of the county" Quick

did fall he would roll right into the

SAYS CAMPBELL BUNCOED
HIM WHILE OUT OF JAIL

Through the filing of a complaint
Tuesday morning, the fact became
public that Oliver Campbell is accus-
ed of having passed a bad check while
at liberty, following his escape from
the county Jail. Rumor of Campbells
resumption of the trick which landed
him in Jail was seemingly confirmed
when f. M. Small storekeeper at
Wilder, swore out a complaint charg-
ing the young man with having given
him check for $3.50 similar to the
spurious checks passed by Campbell
here at Caldwell.
Small Tells of Trick.
According to SmalPs story, Camp
bell and Gossett, just a few days be-
fore their recapture, appeared at his
store and picked out a pair of shoes
and a pair of gloves. When it came
to paying for the purchase Campbell
asked if they would accept his per-
sonal check. The clerk who was sell
ing the goods asked Mr.. Small's ad-
vice, and he said to accept the check
only when properly verified. 1t was
here the check artist got in his fine
work He gave the name of "W. A.
ION anu thC SiClk tClCpHOHCu TO the
First National bank at Caldwell, re-
ceiving the answer that the check
would be honored. Though not dis
covered at the time, it was later
found that the check turned over by
the young man was signed wv. H.
Hall" w. A. Hall being a wealthy
man of this vicinity, and there being
no w. H. Hall, this ruse was evident
ly worked to avoid actual forgery.
Mr. Small states that the young
men tried to secure some extra cash
by charging the check, on the plea
that one of them wished to buy hat
also at the Wilder store. All desire
for new hat seemed gone, however,
when Small told his patrons to go
and buy the hat and then come with
the money to pay for it.

1t Costs Money to "Yank. !"

Comic opera presents nothing bet
ter than Governor Alexander's s. fran
tic efforts to "yank" DR.. Ralph Falk
from his position of secretary of the
state board of health. Vaudeville is
tame and fiat in comparison.
Failing in every other way to
''yank," the governor undertook to
accomplish his purpose by cutting
from the appropriation bill every dol
lar intended for DR.. Falk's Office.
This included $1,000 for salary and
$4,000 for all other expenses.
Here is where the real fun begins.
BY vetoing the salary of $3.50 for
DR.. Falk fixed by the legislature, Gov
ernor Alexander simply reinstated a
continuing Nhlary established when
the office was created This gives Dr.
Falk $3.50 month as secretary of
the state board of health and $50 adj
ditional as registrar of vital Stats
tics.
So the sum total of the governors
"yanking" to date has been to increase
DR.. Falk's salary 5000 a year,
Now the only recourse open to the
governor is to remove one member of
the state board of health and by thus
getting control of that organization,
be able to "yank" DR.. Falk in that
way. OF the FIVE members of the
board DR.. w, R. Hamilton of Weiser
and State Engineer Smith are with
the governor. Attorney General
Peterson, DR.. Falk and DR.. Oscar B.
Steely of Pocatello are against the
governor in this "yanking" business
of his.
There is speculation as to whether
the governor will now undertake to
"yank" member of this state board
OF health in order to get at DR.. Falk.
Up to date the laugh is on the gov
enor.-Idaho Review.
