SCHOOL BOARD MET

The school board had call meet
ing at the directors room Of the
Standrod bank, Wednesday evening.
They reviewed their list of teachers
and decided upon engaging applicants
for filling in certain vacancies that
have been made by designations
Professor Vincent said they have
$50 left in the entertainment fund,
and the pupils want to buy apparatus
to add to the play grounds at the
Irving school. They have selected a
bill of goods that total $61.75, and
asked the board to loan them enough
money to get that and install it, and
out of the first money they make on
entertainments they will repay it.
There will be the freight and cost Of
some pipes, making perhaps $40 in
the loan, and the board approved it.
The board decided to have some
cement work done at the man holes
near the high school, and authorized
the purchase of a large rug for the
stage and strip of battleship cork
six feet wide to lay in the large hall
to take up the noise of the constant
tramping up and down.
Some of the old swings have parts
missing, and the boys in the manual
training department will undertake
to complete them. There are eight
homemade work benches in the car
penter shop that have never been
very satisfactory, and the board de-
cided to discard them and replace
them with new ones that cost about
seven dollars each. They had been
wanting to buy lathe and circular
saw, but the eight benches take the
money intended for that, and the
lathe and saw will be left out for the
present
They decided to advertise for bids
for driving the five school wagons
for the coming yea.

OBITUARY

William H. Kleinschmidt was born
in sCulbertson, Nebraska in 1889, at
which place he lived with his parents
until he was about II years old, when
they moved to Sutton, Nebraska from
which place he moved to Blackfoot,
Idaho, about four years ago. He was
drownded in the Snake river near
Blackfoot, July 81, 1915.
In 1910 he was married to Miss
Mildred Johnson. To this union were
born two children, Harold William
and Viola Mildred.
At the time OF his death Mr..
Kleinschmidt, with others, was work
ling on the head gate Of the Lava
Side canal The boat on which they
we're hauling rock, seemingly too
heavily loaded was partly submerged
and the men on board leaped into
the water.
AS Mr. Kleinschmidt Jumped he
said, "My God, boys, | cannot SWIM"
He arose twice but all efforts to
save him from drowning were, 1t
seemed, in vain. 1t seemed Gods
will and nothing could be done.
Efforts were at once begun in every
conceivable way to recover the body,
thinking that even after three or four
hours they might yet be able to save
him, but it was about 81 hours before
the body was recovered.
At times there were as many as
so men working in the river bending
every muscle, sparing neither time
nor expense to recover one who had
indeed been friend and neighbor.
The funeral services were held
from the home, five miles west of
Blackfoot, Sunday, the Rev. Austin
having charge in the absence of his
own pastor, Rev. Barnstable.
The remains were shipped to SUIT
ton, Nebraska, the same day for
burial.
Mrs. Sack, mother of the deceased,
and Mr.. Johnson, father Of Mrs.
Kleinschimdt, we're present, arriving
the same night that the body was re-
covered and returning home Sunday
with the remains.
Mr., Kleinschmidt was most en-
ergetic and ambitious man, honest
to the extreme. His word being as
good as the deed completed.
He was especially fond of his home
and family, being always on the
watch to add some little pleasure or
comfort to his loved ones. He had
just recently cared most tenderly for
Mrs. Kleinschmidt through an opera
tion which has left her in a very
weakened condition.
He leaves to mourn him a wife,
two children, an aged mother, one
brother and four sisters, together
with numberless host of friends.

FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS

The most important part of the
year at Blackfoot and in the whole
valley will be the next few days; and
the most important acts for all con-
cerned and for the country at large
will be the matter Of using the water
on those crops that need it worst and
which when matured hold the great
est values.
There should be no water wasted;
there should be no Withholding Of 1t
from those who need it worst; this
is one of the famine years that come
about every ten years and the famine
should be met with intelligence and
generosity that looks to saving the
greatest losses for the greatest num-
Der. Priority Of water rights should
not be emphasized too much. Alter
mating the water is better subject
to be thinking about than which right
dates back farthest. Don't be water
ing lands before they need it just to
meet the possibility ofsneed. few
days more and the worst pinch will
be over. The greatest need for water
will have passed, and II your loss is
small, you are in big luck. for there
are many who face the danger of
losing enough to bankrupt them.
Have an anxiety for them, and let
1t be said afterward that this valley
is full of big hearted generous friends
how stand by their neighbors in the
days Of greatest need. People who
are true sports to the extent of look
ing on with smile while they suffer
some loss in order that neighbors
may be saved from greater losses.

The water has been shut OF of the

day. Thursday, working on plan to-
secure through the secretary of the
interior, an order authorizing the ex-
change of water in the Blackfoot res
ervoir for an equal amount in the
jackson lake reservoir, which If ac-
complished will relieve the famine
so that everybody in the valley will
be safe. There is said to be enough
water stored in the Blackfot reservoir
to irrigate $4,000 acres, less 10000
acres needed on the reservation. This
would leave approximately $4,000
acres that could be watered from that
source through the exchange, and
without loss to anybody. In order
to get the matter under consideration
during the day it was necessary to
get the Idaho delegation in congress
and the y. S. senate, the state engin-
eer, the superintendent of Indian af-
fairs on the reservation and the sec
rotary OF the interior by wire and lay
the whole question before them and
interchange kilograms and phone

clined It. The matter was still on
the wires at the time of going to

HAD A JOLLY VISIT

Tuesday evening bunch of Kan
lsas fellows blew into town. in a
Ford car and hunted for Professor
Vincent, formerly from Washington,
Kansas. They camped by his baili-
wick and snapped yarns obout the
ISunfiower state to the delight of all.
They had been IL days from home
and travelled 1900 miles. They laid
over one day to do their washing,
and the rest of the time they were
running and visiting. Their car bore
a Kansas pennant, and they said they
never stopped in town five minutes
that somebody did not come up and
say, I'm from Kansas" and begin
Ito make medicine with them. While
they were at Professtr Uincents some
elderly gentleman, soldier who has
just come to town, stopped and chat
ted with them, and showed a famil-
iarity with Kansas history that
charmed them. They were all from
the Kansas State Agricultural college
and he felt very much at home with
them for, as he said, he had been a
member of the board of regents for
the institution in the early days. He
warmed up and told them more Kan
sas history than they ever knew, and
1t was so perfectly fascinating they
got all of it they could while 1t was
to be had. He lives up on Shilling
or University somewhere, and you
will know him by his having lost a
limb. We don't know his name yet.
We forgot to tell you who the visit
ors are. Listen: Charles Otto and
John Gwin from Washington county;
Edgar Goldsmith, of Abilene: and
Frank Bird, OF Great Bend. Some
body mentioned that the Boyd
family of Blackfoot came from abb
lene. and then there was greeting
over the phone and Robert called for
them in his big car and took them
to their picture show and the even
ing wasn't long enough for all of
them to have their say; 1t was just
one round of fun.
The visitors went on with their
tour Of the coast Wednesday, and are
jollying with other Kansas people at
other places now. They say they are
quite proud Of Kansas and the
places where Kansas people are liy-
ing.

The accompanying illustration tells
how to feed the hogs without going

secured to the ground by means Of
strong stakes and is held at one end

four boards extends from the end OF
the trough to the outside and is firm

The feed is poured through the
spout and 1t gives such force to the
flow that the far end of the trough
is usually reached before it is stopped
by the hogs. A paddle is kept by the
fence to force down the solid matter
that tends to accumulate in the spout
and to empty the water that stands
in the trough after a rain.

IRRIGATION WATER
FOR EVERYBODY

Continued from page,one
ing a foot and a half in depth to the
water in their canal.
Many farmers report having cul-
tivated more than usual and kept
their beets and potatoes growing Wig
orously when conditions were such
that they would ordinarily have
watered them again. Much Of the
spirit of liberation is shown among
the farmers, taking turns with the
streams, and doing whatever they can
to economic the water and make it
do greater duty.
In the early experience of irriga-
ton here, the settlers suffered hard
ships fighting the floods that destroy
ed their headgates In June, and then
built dams to raise the water in
August. The former condition can
be absolutely controlled now, and the
latter is less severe than before.
Senator Dubois in speaking of the
water conditions Tuesday stated that
unless the act authorizing the Jack
son Lake reservoir specifically set it
aside for the benefit of the Minidoka
settlers 1t gave the use of the water
Jointly to the Minidokans and the
settlers in the upper valley to sup
plement their river rights. He said
that the original agreement made in
1904 between himself as the repre-
sentative of Idaho. Senator Mondell
representing Wyoming and F. HI.
Newell, chief engineer of the recla-
nation service with Senator Walcott
present, on the site of the reservoir
before any action was taken, WAS that
1t was the natural property of Wyom-
ing, but that owing to the formation
of the country the state of Wyoming
could never use it, and Mondell con-
sented to let it go to Idaho to sup
plement the waters of Snake river
and for the Minidoka project.
Mr. Dubois stated further that the
government reservoir on upper
Blackfoot supplies more water than
they know what to do with under
that project, and that but for the
harsh terms of the leasing, the lands
on the reservation would be put
under cultivation. He said that just
before leaving Washington the pres
ent summer he had called on Secre-
tary Lane and talked for an hour and
a half, explaining the whole situation
to him, and asking that the terms
of the leases be revise and made
more liberal SO the farmer could
farm 1t and make something for him
self and not simply make improve
ments for the government.
1t has been suggested that as the
Blackfoot reservoir has more water
than they know what to do with, it
might be turned down into Snake
river via the Blackfoot. and a cor
responding amount OF water in Jack

son lake given to users above that
point on Snake river This might be
