The school directors meeting held
last Monday evening at the high
school was attended by number of
Interested taxpayers and patrons of

Jiclnity.
rhe board disposed of the regular

Of bills and school regulations, after
sh.ch the important subject was ia.
zen up, namely, whether or not it
oald be feasible to hire vans or
otherwise convey the children living
n the rural districts to school In
his city.
After some discussion 1t was de-
,ided to call for bids and have the
)utes mapped out and gone over by
he respective bidders and members
I the school board.
he apparent difficulty TO be en-
,oun' erred seems to be In getting to

However. with covered motor buses
this would not be serious as 1t would

Ipon the days studies. The time
onsumed on the road with motor
gus would not be as long as with
horse and buggy over the shortest
route.
The more feasible plan however.
would seem to be to hire some school
patron living at the extreme points
4 the different routes, to pick up all
children along the route and In this
way do away with any necessary out

lriven by some of the larger school
boys or for that matter by the girls
Who can handle horse. This plan was
Mentioned at the meeting and taking
everything into consideration the most

school patron an opportunity OF max

horse and buggy.

inspection OF the dam. This part O
the program Is under the direction Of

feet or eighty billion gallons. The
whole project has cost the govern
ment $12.000,000, the cost of an or
dinary battleship. The dam alone
has cost approximately SIS, SOC, 900. The
fact that it was ready to impound
water this year, the dryest on record
saved the crors on 100000 acres in
the Boise Valley and i'm this ay prac.
tically paid for itself.
IhlS project stands as a monu-
ment to the efficiency of the United
States Reclamation Service and the
faith and industry of the settlers on
the Boise Irrigation Project. Special
credit Is due f. e. Weymouth, the
supervising engineer, Charles H. Paul
the construction engineer, and James
Munil, the superintendent of construc-
tion.

bottom and anchored to the granite
at each side of The canyon this dam is
expeced to stand for all time. 1t
will stand when every building now in
Idaho has crumbled back to dust. 1t
will measure centuries by the score
as the pyramids in Egypt have already
done. 1t is indestructable and is ex-
pected to stand for all time.
This fact added to the fact that Ii
makes 1t possible for thousands in
the community to be prosperous and
happy is the motive back of the cele-
bration of next week. All Idaho Is in

ASKS FOR INJUNCTION.
Publisher of Last Years Directory
Claims infringement of Rights.

The II. A. Manning company ana w.
Harold Waite between whom there seems
to be a difference as to which has the
right to publish the city directory, are
the subject of proceedings brought in the
Chittenden county court of chancery.
The Manning company, which printed the
city directory last year also the one
for Gens Falls. n. Y, claims that L. =.
Waite ~ Co.. who formerly published the
city directory in Burlington and Glens
Falls transferred their entire rights to
the Manning company, II further claims
that the Manning company is now getting
out a directory of the city of Burling-
ton and that ". Harold Waite, a son of
l., z. Waite, is doing the same thing.
in view of tho fact that Mr.. Waite is
we'll acquainted with the people of Bur
lington, having worked in the same bust
ness in this city for some time. the
Manning company claims that he is doiN .
them damage and is misrepresenting b?
stating he is doing the work of l.. l..
Waite & Co.
The petition of the Manning company
sets up that the merchants of the city
who have advertising space in the
directory and the purchasers of the direc-
tories do not want two publications and
that the Waite publication is an in
fringement of its rights. 1t therefore
asks that w. Harold Waite be enjoined
from publishing his directory and dis
tributing the same.

VALUE OF MISTAKES.

The people who makes mistakes lead
the world. The perfect people work for
them, running errands and counting
columns of figures. Every great and
serious truth has an diverse side which
is also true. Professor William Jones
was the greatest psychologist of our
time, but the best he could do in defin-
ing truth was this THE truth Is simply
what will work" Whatever is may not
necessarily be right, but whatever 1t is.
That is the main point. And 1t is every
mans job to accept the is-ness and get
down to business.
Most men have the wrong location, In We
taken up the wrong profession. have fall
ed to improve the opportunities for edu-
cation they had in youth, have not mar.
ried the women ideally suited to thom,
have not the money, Influence and posi-
ton they need to show what's In them.
And they are of two classes. One class
sits around the loafing places and tells
its woes, and whites, and pities itself
The other plucks up. forgets it, takes the
situation as II Is and makes the best OF
things.
The genius is not the man who never
made mistakes, who had his chance
thrust on him, who was endowed and all
that; he IL the man who had no chance
and was not gifted. but who took the
raw material Of life and fate as he found
1t and made something fine out of It,
The only perfect person / will ever meet
is the perfect fool. The faultless-they
