HUGE ICE GORGE ALARMS
CITIZENS NEAR DRAPER

Draper. S. d.. April 1o.-Ranchmen
and others along White river are
alarmed and ANXIOUS because of the
forming of an immense ice gorge in
the river nea Draper. The water in
the river has been rising for several
days and it is feared that unless the
gorge breaks, the lowlands along the
river will be flooded. Many ranchmen
and homesteaders have their homes ON
the bottoms and along that section Of
h liver. The ice gorge is said to
extend for Il distance of over 10 miles
along the river and for several days
has been assuming Il more ominous
character. Already some of the resi-
dents of the lower lands have been
compelled by back water to seek
safety on higher ground. 1t is feared
that great damage will result should
h gigantic ice gorge give way at once
and sweep down the river. If the
gorge gradually breaks up there will
be no serious trouble When the gorge
first commenced to form it was
planned to break it with dynamite, but
before arrangements could be made
the gorge had grow to such huge pro-
portions that dynamiting it would
have been useless.

The problem OF food distribution In
large cities Is now claiming the atten-
ton of practically every city which has
shown enough regard for the welfare of
its citizens to attempt some kind or
regulation that will tend to minimize
the effect of unrcgulated markets.
Among the cities that have taken the
problem seriously and carried expert
ments to a point where some real prog
rcss is to he noted. Washington has
been about the most active. The bet
te' market movement there has been
carried forward under the direction OF
John ID. sherman. superintendent of
weights. measures and markets. The
New York Sun notes some of the i'm
provements under the new system
which have attracted to Washington
persons from all over the country who
are interested In market question:.
MIR. Sherman began by inviting all
persons Interested in practical economy
in the purchase OF food supplies for the
home to come to n lecture given three
building. In these lectures he took up
mornings week in the municipal
the market situation as 1t stood and cX-
planned why the retail prices were so
much higher than the wholesale prices.
He pointed out that every time COM
modify is handled its price is raised,
and that since this handling IS done
by middiemen who must be paid for
their work, and who run r certain risk.
which must be paid for, the question
Of price reduction really amounts to
the elimination OF much of tho
handling between producer and con-
sumer as is possible Mr.. Sherman I'M
dcrtook to eliminate the middleman en-
tlrcly by forming buying clubs. This
has proved successful. When the out
break of tho war sent prices soaring
for few weeks. there was less in
crease in Washington than In any other
city
The largest buying club in Washing
ton is composed OF about COO members.
Another has about 200 members, and
there arc numerous others. some includ-
ing only three or four families. In
launching his plan, Mr. Sherman laid
down the following rules for wholesale
buying for family consumption:
ten families.
2. Make them business groups and
not friendship groups.
3. Conflne membership to an area OF
two or less blocks.
4. Elect one member to do all tho
purchasing.
8. Buy Wholesale.
G. Require deposits from members
before purchases are made, and then
pay cash.
Z. Order carefully and then stand by
your orders.
8. Buy early.
0. Buy only products that are in their
natural season.
TO- Purchase only after examining
wares of several dealers.
IL. Distribute shares to members tho
day Of delivery from wholesale market.
II. Don't expect plan like this to
work out without Inconvenience and
sacrifices; It Is the elimination OF these
that you pay for in retail prices.
A market called the Farmers Shelter
containing 40 stalls. which are rented
10 farmers for 10 cents Il day, has
helped to reduce tho price of farm
products. Employees of the Depart
mcnt Of the Interior have Il buying or
ganiaation which has kept statistics
that show n saving of from SIS TO SIS A
month for family. IT IS tho belief in
Washington that In ordor to derive tho
greatest benefit from markets, they
must be made easily accessible. Tho
