DIGGING NEW WELL
School Board Making New Well
For Irrigating Lawn

The board of school trustees have
let contract to Geo, Smith to dig
and wall up well in the northwest
corner of the school grounds near the
old well, which is now being used to
irrigate the school grounds, the court
house lawn and Mrs. Pence's proper
just across the street from the
school grounds.
The present well is furnishing full
stream of water but the lumber curb
ing is rotting out and the we'll cav
ing in, and it was found to be as
cheap, owing to its cavedin condi-
ton, to dig a new well and wall 1t
up as to wall up the old one. Be-
sides, the present well being off the
school grounds proper lin the street
next to the s!dewalk) necessitated the
piping of the water across the side
walk, and prevented the erection of a
permanent protection for the motor
and pump.
The old well, like the court house,
has done it's work well, but lumber
will decay and has to be replaced
by more up to date material.
We hope the Board will continue
the good work started and put in a
cement sidewalk, at least down one
side of the block from the court
house to the Baptist church.
The new well has already reached
the stage where work has to be sus-
pended on account of water until the
return of Mr. Smith from his sheep
camp on South Boise river, to make
arrangements for pumping out the
water to- allow the work of sinking
deeper to continue.
In another column will be found a
call for bids for cementing the floor
in one of the basement rooms of
the school.

URGES ACTION TO
RESTORE ORDER
Threatened Famine and Inability of
Leaders to Restore Peace Given
as Reasons Why United States
Should Intervene.

Washington. - Urgent suggestions
that the United States wait no longer
than another month before taking
some decisive action to restore law
and order in Mexico, have been for
warded to the state department by
several consular officers in the north
ern part of the republic
All these reports, it was learned
Thursday, have been forwarded to
President Wilson at Cornish, N. H.,
after being carefully studied by state
department officials.
Threatened famine and inability Of
the contending military factions to re-
store peace and establish a govern
ment that could be recognized by the
United States, are dwelt upon by the
consular officers. Conditions more
serious than even troubled Mexico
has seen before are predicted unless
the United States lends hand quick
ly. Recognition of some element
which may set up strong govern
ment with the moral support of the
United States is the solution usually
urged.
Meager dispatches that reached the
state department Thursday from Vera
Cruz said Carranza's army, estimated
at $4,000 men, had pressed its fight
for possession of Mexico City within
ten miles of the capital. Apparently
the investing forces had advanced
eleven miles against the Zapata de-
tenders in two days, practically reach
ing the city's suburbs.
Reports of food shortage continued
to reach the state department and the
Red Cross from various parts of Mex
ico One dispatch from northeastern
Mexico stated that with the railway
cut again, supplies in that section
would last only few days.
