HORSE ISLAND r

ID. S. Mcqueen of Horse Island has
made a proposition to the county
commissioner for Bingham county to
build and furnish a complete equip
ment for the proposed ferry boat
across Snake river near the head oil
that island. 1t is expected the ex-
pense OF the boat and cable viii not
exceed the $500 appropriation recent
ly made by the board. Mr.. Mcqueen
lives on Horse Island and has been
one Of the most earnest advocates of a
bridge or ferry across the river at this
point. Some changes will be neces-
sary in the roads leading to the ferry
from the Bingham county side OF the
river and the contract will not D.
awarded until this matter has been
adjusted-Aberdeen Times.

valley on which AZ acre feet Of water
was used this year. The water goes
through the land like a sieve and
flows underground, raising the water
plane under surrounding territory
with results that prove disastrous.
Land Of that character, he maintains,
should not be irrigated. The water
should be used on ground that is more
susceptible of irrigation. There is no
economy, MI. Mcclellan. contends, in
irrigating land that requires an ex-
cessive amount Of water to make 1t
productive. Water is scarce and land
is plentiful. Most farmers irrigate
too much. On thousands of acres ir-
rigated from Snake river between five
and IL acre feet Of water was used
this year.
The average annual precipitation in
Boise for the past 80 years was 1927
inches, Of which $50 inches fell dur
ing the growing season. For the same
period the precipitation at Bismark,
North Dakota averaged 1850 inches,
9.S5 inches of which fell during the
growing season. Making due allow
ance for the difference in distribution
and atmospheric conditions, Mr.. Nc
Clellan is of the belief that the Boise
valley, as we'll as all other irrigated
districts in Idaho, uses to much water.
1t has been demonstrated that crops
can be grown on dry land farms in
Idaho with a precipitation of Is to
16 inches. AS the land is reclaimed
and foliage is grown, the precipitation
will increase. This has been amply
proven in many states.
Comparisons.
In Nevada Mr.. Mcclellan produced
crops with nine inches of precipita-
ton for eight years. The average e
cipitation in the Mississippi valley for
80 years was 35 inches. Olympia.
Wash, gets 54.96 inches annually, and
Jacksonville, Fla, 52.53 inches. The
dryest place on record is Riverside,
California, with 1856 inches of an
average for 80 years. Next comes
Tucson, Arizona, with 11.5S and Win
nemucca, Nevada, with 1922. Boise
is fourth In the averages with 1927.
Winnemucca's annual average for 80
years during the growing eason was
only O.60 inches.

LOSS OF LIVES LEssENED
BY SAFETY FIRST


The Union Pacific railroad system
will be given an absolutely clean bill
on Passengers Killed" during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1915, in the
report of the Interstate Commerce
commission which will soon be issued.
And the number of passengers injured,
for the same period, will show almost
negligible in the COMMISSIONS report.
Two years ago the Union Paficic
system adopted a motto of Safety
First" Every employee, regardless of
his position, was enlisted in the work
of making the Union Pacific not only
as safe as any other system IN the
country, but Absolutely safe for the
travelling public as we'll as for the en-
ploye.
The clean bill which the Interstate
Commerce commissions report will
show is the result of that safety
campaign"
Not one passenger was killed on the
entire Union Pacific system, from end
10 end, the main line and branch line,
during the last fiscal year. In that
period 1851 1854 passengers entrusted
themselves on the thousands of miles
of branch roads of Union Pacific, and
upon the main line trains from Omaha
to Portland, Seattle and Spokane, from
Salt Lake to Butte and from Kansas
City to Denver and Cheyenne, and not
one single passenger lost his life,
although, together, these 1851 1854 pas
sengers Travelled nearly n billion
miles during that year. Not only does
this apply to those passengers actually
on board the trains, but 1t includes
those who were preparing to go aboard
or who were leaving the trains Of the
company. Regardless of whether the
blame lay with the railroad, or was due
TO the grossest. most fragrant careless
ness on the part of the passenger, the
fact remains that during the fiscal
year ending June Both, 1915, not ono
single Union Pacific passenger var
killed.
One Of the points insisted upon By
the Interstate Commerce commission
is that, should any passenger die as
the result of an accident while on
I board a train, or while either board
ing or leaving a train. that death shall
be charged to train accidents" So,
when the Commission gave Union
Pacific system a clean bill for last
year., 1t meant that not only was NO
passengers killed instantly, but thar
not one died from the effect Of al
accident during the year.
And speaking Of accidents, the num-
Der of passengers injured on the Union
Pacific system for the entire year, ac-
cording to the Commissions report
was.just 399 and the total number OF
passengers carried for the year was
s.s51,364. These s.s51,364 passengers
travelled s47,93s.544 miles. None were
killed and but 3s9 injured
But Union Pacific's Safety First
campaign is not benefitting passenger
alone. Employees are reaping hand

DAHO'S FIRST PEOPLE
WERE DRY FARMERS
Lived in Snake RiUer Valley Thousands Of Years Ago and
Worked Farms, i: Bs!st Of E. c. Mcclellan, irriga-
fion Engineer. ~

e. c. Mcclellan, who is nov located
In Salt Lake, and who for the
past 80 years has been engaged I'm ir-
rigation engineering in southern ida
no, Nevada and California, is con-
vinced that years ago there lived and
labored in southern Idaho a race of
dry farmers who succeeded in sup
porting themselves under much the
same climatic conditions as those of
the present day. He has found what
he believes to be innumerable ruins of
their homes in the Snake river VAL
ley and its upper reaches. Around
Oakley, for instance. Mr.. Mcclellan
pointed out quite recently the remains
of more than 100 houses of prehis-
toric date. says the Statesman.
The Work Of Man.
These ruins, said Mr.. Mcclellan. are
much alike in character. For the
earth around them was evidently
brought from a distance as 1t Is diff
ferent In formation from the sur
roundings. For years Mr.. Mcclellan
was Of the impression that the ruins
were the work Of badgers. Examina-
ton and study convinced him that
they were the result of human energy.
The similarity of character, the COM
position of the soil, the plainness with
which the foundations could be
traced on all sides and the location
OF the ruins satisfied him that they
must have been the work of man.
Mr.. Mcclellan has observed the
ruins in Provo valley, Utah, Humboldt
valley, Nevada, and all along the
Snake river valley in Idaho. To him
they indicate that the country in
which they obtain was cnce densely
populated by an agricultural people.
They were dry farmers, ne believes,
because there are no traces Of irriga-
ton works.
Surprising, as he does, that climatic
conditions were the same then as now,
there was sufficient precipitation to
produce crops wherever farming was
conducted.
Water Is Wasted.
Mr.. Mcclellan believes that irriga-
ton water is being unnecessarily
wasted in Idaho. There are areas un-
der irrigation he said, that are too
thirsty to be watered. He called at
tention to one area in the Snake river

Half an hour after Miss Muller
stepped into the store. word OF her ar

Il. and In . little while the numper
OF women who were seeking consul

Miss Muller comes from the Butter

Miss Muller devoted her first three
