Miss kelley wants the young folks
to raise more flowers around home,
and IL the pigs and chickens have
been troubling them, she wants the
woven wire fencing to stop them,
even If it is only patch rod
square, where the best soil and the
best care can be applied until they
see what marvellous beauty can be
grown, and then they can decide
whether they want the same kind of
beauty on larger scale.
Miss Kelley did not get to see
much of country homes around
Blackfoot, but she saw one that Inn
pressed, her from the money-sav'ng
standpoint. It was the James G..
Johnston home at Rose, equipped to
give the housekeeper the chance to
do the greatest amount of work pos
sible with the time and strength one
woman possesses. A pumping plant
and tank, with water pipes leading
into the house, connections with the
stove and hot water tank in he
house, fauces for hot and cold water,
lavatories and bath tub equipped the
same way, drains to carry off the
water after using; all these things
together costing only a few hundred
dollars and saving the Juggling of tons
and tons of water both into and out
of the house, increasing the comfort
and the health of the family and in
creasing the working capacity of the
housekeeper so that it is not to be
classed as luxury but as a good in
yestment for anyone who wants to
make money or save money; as good
la start towards success as it Is to get
pure bred or highly bred stock when
you start raising stock for profits.
,Mr. Johnston had studied the matter
said it appealed to him as a profit
liable thing to do even If he set aside
considerations of comfort and just
considered it from the money stand
point.
Another chance for increased sue
cess is to be found In getting clean
seed. She had studied the potato
exhibit here and observed that disease
is prevalent, and the man. who wants
to make money on potatoes should be
selecting good seed and planting II
where it will reach its full develop

in every community, and wants the
parents to consider it one of the i'm
portant things of the year and to
open the way for it by selecting the
ground now and planning ahead

COMMENTS ON WEEDS

Mr.. Soren Jensen. who travels for
the C. w. & M. company and sees all
the towns and villages, was in Black
foot last week for the fair, and re-
marked to the writer that he had
been looking over our town, and the
thing that impressed him most was
the abundance of weeds everywhere.
Then he added, "Trego, your town
needs cleaning up"
Seems to us we've heard something
like that mentioned before!

pit the excavation was gradually sunk
down, the grouting took place and
the foundation for the towering dam
laid 240 feet wide at the pase and
100 feet long. Each day thereafter
saw the structure 1000 cubic yards
nearer completion. A line of open
holes to catch possible seepage bored
Just below the holes for routing to-
gether with grouting holes was car
ried up through the dam and con-
nected with galleries built inside of
it for which the outlet are operated
partly by water pressure and partly
by electricity. In these galleries ad-
ditional grouting can be carried on
deep below the base of the dam If
necessary. The thickness of the
structure was gradually reduced until
at the crest 1t stands but 16 feet
wide, forming a roadway, guarded
on either side by a parapet wall four
feet high. Mounted at intervals on
| this are rows of perestals crowded
with arc lights, power for which is
furnished by the electric plant
/ To the one side of the dam has
been cut gigantic spillway through
! a. cliff of solid granite It is 400
fleet long following the contour of the
ground in direction at right angles
with the dam. In flood season water
from the reservoir will enter the
spillway over the lip mounted on
which are specially constructed gates.
It will be carried off around the dam
and allowed to cascade down the
mountain side back into the river,
In an extreme flood year, should the
| spillway be unable to handle the
water, the dam is so constructed as
to permit it to plunge over its crest
dropping over ESQ feet to the river
] below. A total of 10000 second feet
of water can rush through this spill
way at its normal capacity and could
LIT be harnessed it would develop a
vast amount of electrical energy.
To the opposite side of the dam, a
concrete log chute has been built
to permit the passage of logs from
the reservoir to the river below. The
estimated stand of timber tributary
to the reservoir is three billion feet
valued at thirty-six million dollars.
1t will take SO years to pass it over
the dam On the same side, should
it be deemed advisable to build an
additional hydro-electric plant, tun-
/ mel can be bored through the noun
tain side TO tap the reservoir and
provide the water to generate as high
as $4,000 horsepower
4 The reservoir is 1SNmiles long with
a maximum depth of 200 feet. It's
capacity is 244,30O acre-feet which IL
spread one foot deep would cover
$50 square miles. or 1t would cover
the city of New York including Man
haitian Island, Bronx, Brooklyn,
Queens and Richmond to the same
depth; cover Chicago with two feet
of water; Boston with eight feet;
the District of Columbia with five feet
and the state of Rhode Island with
four inches.
The dam itself weights over mil
lion tons. If loaded ton to each
20-foot wagon, the wagons would
reach from San Francisco to New
York and double back to Cleveland
The project is located tributary to
Boise from 40 to so miles from the
dam Every acre with the exception
of about 1000 has been filed on by
settlers. @

LACK OF WORK TO CUT
PLATE PRINTERS FORCE

At least twenty-five plate printers
employed in the bureau of engraving
md printing will be laid off July |. In
srder to provide work for the greater
part of 100 plate printers whose serv-
ices have been made unnecessary by
the falling off of work. the Secretary
of the Treasury, using his discretion.
has decided to postpone for the present
an increase in the number of power
presses for printing backs of paper
money. This will keep about fifty men
employed. Director Joseph E. Ralph
hopes to find something to do for some
of the others.
He also hopes that the work will
soon increase to give occupation to
some Of those who must be laid off.
But. at present, he sees nothing else
for it than to dispense with the serv-
ices of at least twenty five plate print
ers with the beginning of the new fis-
cal year.
THE work of the bureau of printing
and engraving has in the past year OF
Two been somewhat above normal,
says a statement issued from the office
of Secretary McAdoo, 'necessitatinS an
increase in its force of plate printers,
and the volume of work has been suf-
ficient to keep all of them employed

mand for postage and internal revenue
stamps and paper money, and also be-
cause of the termination of the Aldricn-
Vreeland act on June 80, which will
release for use S5O0,OO0,0OO of national
bank notes and make unnecessary the
printing of the usual quantity of that
class of work, there is an excess of
about one hundred printers, and re-
duction of the force will be necessary"
