fill known as the dixie have been
changed somewhat since the visit of
the North Side editors, and Mr.. Shep-
herd states that since this has been
done he is willing to go on record
with the statement, that barring an
earthquake or some other cause not
now forseen which it would be i'm
possible to circumvent, this tract will
have 100000 acre feet of its own
storage water available at the lake
for the season of 1916.
En- route to the lake Mr.. Shepherd
observed closely the water conditions
of the agricultural sections of the
North Fork of the Snake river above
Idaho Falls and he confirms the opin-
ion of the North Side editors that
there is a wanton, needless and in
fact damaging waste of water by the
users in that country. He stopped and
talked with some of them along the
way going in and in many places
found the users quite arrogant and
concerning the needs of
anyone else. But he is going after
the situation vigorously and believes
these users can be shown that such a
needless waste of valuable water can
not be practiced. AS result there
will be a very important meeting at
Idaho Falls today between represen-
tatives of the North Side company, of
the government users on reclamation
projects below Idaho Falls and the
users complained against and it is
likely that vigorous and effective
steps will be taken to convince the
water hogs Of the upper country that
there is someone else on the river
entitled to consideration.
A great number of the people on
the upper reaches of the river appear
to be still laboring under the long
exploded theory that they own GER
tain amount of water and can do
what they want with it--waste 1t or
dissipate 1t or withhold it-regard-
less of anyone else. The rule now is
that ones right to water is determin-
ed absolutely by beneficial use, and
unless such use is made of 1t water
may be denied such claimant. 1t is
very likely that the various interests
which could and would make benefi-
,ial use Of this water will be able to
stop this waste and put this valuable
natural element to beneficial use.

HAD A DELIGHTFUL TOUR

The Misses Clara ami Oral Rich
arrived in Blackfoot. Monday morn
ing from tour of six or seven weeks
ON the coast. They went first to
Portland, where they were met by
an uncle who insisted on taking them
to his home, and showing them the
whole country roundabout, which
uncle and auntie proceeded to do in
a royal manner. Every day was
day of delight, and every evening was
"a period of genuine pleasure. They
went everywhere, and then visited
all the interesting places beyond, and
uncle wouldn't let them spend cent
Eof their own money. His home, his
car, his purse, his friends, all were
the special hosts of the Misses Rich,
and nothing else seemed important,
lit was just side issue for their bene-
I,it whatever it was.
Finally the day came for them to
embark for San Francisco, and uncle
saw them aboard the steamer. Then
what should he do but write to rela-
tive at Frisco, telling what boat they
would arrive on, and the hour as
nearly as he could, and when the
girls walked the gang plank at the
Golden Gate they were met by rela-
Ltives and fine car. The Portland
fexperience was repeated, and when
they left for southern California they
were handed letter of introduction
Ito others who tried to out-do Frisco.
The last stop they made was at
J Beaver, Utah, where they were again
entertained delightfully."-. They wrote
home frequently and expressed their
gratitude to papa and mamma for
having such splendid friends and rel
Eatives, and papa Rich would read
each letter and declare that he was,
going to tog up and take the same
trail. OF course Heber C. hasn't
done it yet. He has some beets and
spuds to look after and some hay to
|cut and stack and that will hold him
for a while.

OH, YOU FORD!

Jacob Gushwa just returned from
a Ford trip to Portland and Seattle
via Montana and says he had no
trouble until within eight miles of
home when a tire blew out.
When asked how he liked his 1914
Ford he replied, 81 wouldn't have
anything else.
Fords are popular with wise farm
ers, as we'll as others.

SHORT CLASS SESSIONS
ORDERED IN SCHOOLS
Five Buildings Overflow When $500
Extra Pupils Enroll Officials
Embarrassed.

With the enrolment of nearly $500 new
students since the opening of public
schools Monday, school officials are be-
ing put to some embarrassment because
of inadequate buildings. Practically all
school buildings In the District have re-
ceived pupils up to their capacity. while
structures In the northwest are over
crowded to such an extent that shorter
class sessions have been ordered.
At the close Of school yesterday, 50.I6s
students had been enrolled, an increase
of 3,4o4 students over Mondays records.
The influx Of new students was notice
able particularly in the schools of Column
bia Heights. Mt. Pleasant and Petworth.
Two additional first grades were opened
In Columbia Heights and shorter class
sessions were ordered in the johnson,
Powell, Hubbard, Monroe and Petworth
buildings in Mt. Pleasant and Petworth.
With the completion Of a sixteen-room
building at Park View, congestion In the
Monroe and Petworth schools will be re-
lieved, and with the opening Of an eight
room addition to the Powell building.
overcrowded conditions at the Powell,
johnson and Hubbard schools will be
bettered. Neither the new building nor
addition will be completed for some
months, however.
IAN inspection of the schools was made
yesterday by Superintendent e. l..
Thurston and H. p. Blair, president OF
the Board Of Education.

Talk Of Indictment Does Not

Grand Jury-Bankers Say They Acted for Clients
in Dealings with Brokers.

An effort to procure the Indictment

were the witnesses called.
May Charge Speculation.
hammond is the maker Of an affi-
davit purporting to show that the
Riggs Bank had speculated in stock
through the brokerage firm Nof Lewis
Johnson & Co. This affidavit was of
fered in the court proceedings before
Justice Mccoy by Samuel Untermeyer.
Of counsel for the government in the
suit Of the Riggs Bank, as refuta-
Glover. Father. and Flather. that the
Riggs Bank had never engaged in the
practice of speculating in stock with
bank funds. The young woman who
testified yesterday Is the notary who
acknowledged the affidavit of Messrs.
Glover, Flather, and Flather. Other
witnesses were National Bank Ex-
aminers Trimble. Donaghue. and W.
Sheriff. Smith.
In the proceedings before Justice Nc
Coy. Mr.. Untermeyer, presenting the
hammond affidavit as refutation of that
offered by officers Of the bank, declared
that the bank affidavit was "a gross
abuse of the processes of this court" and
clearly intimated his belief that 1t con-
stituted perjury.
The fact that everyone called yester-
day had some connection with the pre-
paration of the controversy which swung
around the affidavit, and that the only
bank officers who did not appear are
those who swore to the affidavit, points
clearly to the conclusion that this par
ticular phase of the controversy between
the bank and the Treasury Department
was brought to the attention Of the grand
Jury. Messrs. Allies and Evans both re-
fused to comment on the proceeding be-
