NEW MACKAY DAM.

The Utah Construction company
owners Of the Big Lost River irriga-
ton project, has decided to replace the
famous Mackay dam with a new
structure to be erected nearby, and
thereby has solved one of the knotty
problems in connection with the re-
instatement of this project which has
played So important a part in the his
tory of this state. Engineers Of the
company have made careful estimates
of the engineering problems in con-
nection with the construction of the
new dam. The decision is said to have
been transmitted by the company to the
irrigation commission which met at
Arco Tuesday of this week to confer
with Big Lost river settlers, and Tues
day inspected part of the project; Chase
A. Clark, presided over the commits
sion s session as chairman.
A copy of the intended contract be-
tween the company and the settlers
was discussed at the commission s SEES
sion.
The question to be decided was whe-
ther the settlers would agree to take
half an inch of water instead of five
eights of an inch. The original con-
tracts with the defunct irrigation CON-
pany called for the latter amount. Ac-
cording to the memorandum, this
amount the Utah people are unable to
furnish. What most of the settlers
objected to was the statement that
Ifive-eights of an inch could not be fur
nished, still the Utah people reserved
the right to sell any water left over
after the settlers had been furnished
all the contracts called for.
The objection raised by the settlers
was that if there was water left over
it should be stored for the succeeding
years or more water furnished the set
tiers. Several men were called upon to
testify as to whether half an inch
would be sufficient and it developed
that there was difference of opinion
as to whether this could be done. It
was explained that on account of the
gravelly formation of some of the soil
under the project, some stretches re-
quired more water than others. The
views Of over dozen men were heard
on this particular point; the majority
being of the opinion that y inch was
not sufficient.
The statements of each man was ia
ken down in shorthand by a stenogra-
pher and later this commission will go
over these statements again and make
their recommendations to the land
board. The meeting was adjourned and
Immediately afterwards the associa-
ton, or Carey Act water users, or ac-
tual settlers under the project held
and appointed committee to
negotiate with the commission should
the occasion arise.

STATE Be AnD OF HEALTH
OF PREVENTIVE
VACCINE FOR TYPHOID FEVER.

The people of Idaho are hereby notified
that the State Board of Health is pre-
pared to furnish free bacterin for the
prevention of typhoid fever. The eff
ficacy of this method in preventing ty-
phoid fever has now been proven and
it is hoped that the people will avail
themselves of the opportunity of tax
ing this treatnl ent in order to lessen the
prevalence of typhoid fever.
Typhoid Fever.
About this time of year typhoid
fever begins to appear in many Of the
counties of Idaho. Some people are
beginning to believe that typhoid fever
is catching Well, You do not catch
| typhoid fever like YOU do smallpox; you
swallow it. Typhoid fever is caused by
filth which g cts into the mouth from
the fingers, or from something we eat
or drink. We swallow it; the germs
multiply and grow and cause the d.
sease we call typhoid fever.
To prevent typhoid fever the great
est care must be taken to see that
the well or the cistern or the spring,
whichever is used as source of
water supply, is protected from every
possible source of pollution. A good
well must have sound, tight top,
with a watertight easing or curbing.
A we'll with leaky top, or with holes
around the sides, or with bucket
which is touched with dirty hands, is
likely to give rise to dangerous pollu-
ton.
| Then, too, the outside toilet must
be looked after, to see that there is
no danger of pollution from it. The
discharges from human beings con
stitute the most dangerous material
| on the farm or in the town in sum-
mer time. 1t should be cared for as
carefully as if it We're deadly poison.
Flies carry typhoid-fever germs on
their feet. and if the toilet is open
so that chic kens or other domestic
animals can get at it, they too will
carry this dangerous material on their
feet about the yard, onto the well top,
which, in turn, may be washed into
the well, or be carried on the feet of
people into the kitchen, to there be-
come dangerous source of pollution
for food or drink
To avoid typhoid fever:
First-Wash the hands before eat
ing anything and do not put the
| fingers into the mouth.
Second-Do not drink water that
you do not know comes from good
well, cistern, or spring, or from a
good, safe city supply unless it has
been thoroughly boiled.
Third-DO not drink milk unless you
know where it comes from and have
reason to believe that it is safe and
wholesome.
Fourth-Before taking your summer
vacation have your physician immunize
you against typhoid fever by giving
you the typhoid bacterIns.
The State Board of Health will sup
Iply you with typhoid bacterin with
out charge.

IRE You Going to Take a Vavation?
Many Necessary Precautions
to be Made.


Vacation Is the talk of the season
Every nine out of ten people are
planning to take a vacation trip
sometime, 50 somewhere during the sum,
mer. Where to go is the question
Be this understood: The most pie
turesque and otherwise attractive re-
sorts are not always the safest Your
first consideration should be: Where
can / find rest and recreation with
out jeopardiAing my health? On max
ing your choice look well to these facts
lst That the supply Of drinking water
comes not from shallow wells or from
other sources likely to be polluted. End
That flies and mosquitoes are well
screened against. 3rd That there are
sanitary arrangements for the disposal
of sewerage. Know these things and
your chances for having typhoid, and
many other diseases will be greatly di-
unfinished.
The vacationist by all means should
nc Naeclhated against typhoid. This
preventive measure is so simple and
yet so effective that no man or woman
should consider himself ready till he
has taken this treatment. You can get
the typhoid preventive by applying to
your own physician. In either case al
low yourself plenty of time. Three
weeks at least are necessary in which
to get the vaccine and take the treat
ment. If further information regarding
this treatment is desired, write the
State Board Of Health, at Boise.
