Miss Jessie Hoover of the Univer-
sity has completed her survey OF the
farms Of Canyon county Miss Hoover
has been at work just six weeks. She
visited 400 homes.
Miss Hoover expresses herself as
we'll pleased with her reception by the
farmers and their wives. In every
instance she was greeted kindly and
helped in every manner possible.
The chief regret expressed both by
Miss Hoover and the housewives
among whom she was working arises
because of the shortness of the time
allotted for the survey. The work
was done at the expense Of the gov
eminent and under its direction. Be
cause of limitations of funds it was
found impossible to continue the sur
vey work longer than to July |.
Report in Preparation
Except for two or three visits nee
essary in order to attend to unfinished
details. Miss Hoovers work in the
field is ended. She is devoting the re-
mainder of June to preparing the re-
port to be submitted by her She was
unable to state just the number OF
public meetings held.
Had it not been for the co-opera-
ton ofrGounty Superintendent z. Fay
Fowler and County agent w. I. Nc,
call, the field of the survey would
have been less extensive. The made
quate fund for transportation fud'
nished by the government, was
through the aid of Mr.. Mccall, made
to serve through the six weeks cam,
paign. By furnishing the farm bu'
reau automobile and devoting much
time conveying Miss Hoover over the
county, he generously assisted in
stretching the slender appropriation
to the limit.
Farmers Laundries Urged
One feature Miss Hoover yet plans
to emphasize in connection with Ell
forts to tighten the work of women
on the farms is that of interesting
cooperative creamery companies II
the plan of installing a "wet-wash
laundry as a part of their equipment
The farmers creameries in eastern
states have tried this side-line and
proven it a big success.
By the installation of but little adj
ditional machinery it is possible fol
creamery plant to do for the wives
of its patrons the drudgery part OF
wash-day wark. The family wash is
delivered to the creamery-laundry to-
gether with the cream consignment
and few hours later can be returned
to the housewife ready for drying
ironing. Either by public meetings
or by means of circulars. Miss HooVe,
vet plans to accomplish something
tangible along this line in the country

The meeting of the Progressive
Chicago Monday. At that time Col.
clined to become the Progressive
candidate for President In a letter to
the COMMITTEE. Colonel Roosevelt
vigorously attacked the administra-
ton of President Wilson and as Wig
orously endorsed the Republican
nominees.
After receiving the letter from
Colonel Roosevelt the Progressive
National committee endorsed the
nominees of the Republican conven-
ton. The action of the Progressive
committee means in effect the dis
Republican party is reunited and will
so enter the approaching campaign.
Roosevelt to Stump Country
After the meeting of the National
| committee of the Progressive party
Mr.. Hughes and Colonel Roosevelt
held a conference in New York At
ter their meeting both men express
ed themselves as being in harmony
on the issues before the country. Col
onel Roosevelt stated that he was
satisfied with Mr.. Hughes and in
harmony with him. and if asked, will
stump the country for the Repubii'
can nominees.
Tuesday ex-President William H.
Taft stated that he was pleased with
the Republican nominees and was
ready to go on the stump. Mr.. Taft
stated that he would speak from the
same platform as Colonel Roosevelt
| if that was desirable
He is a private in the ranks ready
to obey orders.
The New York Independent in its
last issue stated that, while ndepen-
dent in politics it would support the
Republican nominees in the coming
election. In fact Mr.. Hughes has re-
ceived word from the independent
voters in all parts of the country ex-
pressing confidence in him and pledg-
ing him their support Governor Hiram
| Johnson of California is one of the
| prominent Progressive who has pledg
ed his support to Hughes.
Wilcox Made Chairman
William R. Wilcox of New York
will manage the Republican campaign.
Mr.. Wilcox was appointed chairman
of at national committee of the Repub-
lican party Tuesday after the confer
ence between Mr.. Hughes and Colonel
Roosevelt.
VIM. Wilcox, lawyer, former post
master of New York and until 1918
chairman of the public service COM
mission of New York, is a personal
and political friend of the nominee.
His selection results from Mr. Hughes
desire to have as chairman resident
of New York, known to him person
ally, man somewhat removed from
recent political DEVELOPMENTS, not al
lied with an faction of the party and
acceptable to Republicans and Prog
ressives alike.

Juvenile Cases.
During the year of 1915 the police
department had nine juvenile cases
and about 20 boys were brought in
to court for petty crimes, but no
fines were imposed. However, the
boys received reprimands and this
had the desired effect.
During the year 1915 the police in
vestigated the living conditions of
about 80 of the city's poor and saw
that they were taken care of.
During the year 1915 the police
department. received and answered
between 700 and 800 letters and re-
quests which were duly disposed of
in the proper manner. This gentle
men, is no small matter as it con-
sists of inquiries about crooks, lost
friends, brothers, fathers, sisters, al
so as to conditions of the country,
what kind of land, people, business
houses. If this had not been prop
erly handled and each case given due
consideration it would have had
bad impression on outside people. I
beg to report that it has been given
good attention.
$50 Lodgers.
During the year 1915 the police
department received and lodged 800
tranisents who came into the city

The fines could have been more |
but it is due to the court not impos-
ing them - ~ =,
Hoping, gentlemen, that this re-
port will meet with your approval
and satisfy you as to work being done
by the police department, I beg to
submit the same. Yours respectfully, |

HUNDRED PEOPLE
DROWN IN FLOOD
ON CABIN CREEK
Waters of Cloudburst Sweep
Down the Valley, Carrying
Away Town Of Acme in
West Virginia.
PROPERTY DAMAGE IS BIG
Telegraph Communication With
Flooded District Almost
Wholly Paralyzed.
RAILROAD TRACKS GONE

f.. Huntington, w. Va, Aug. g.
Property loss exceeding million dol
lars was caused by cloud-burst that
swept down Cabin Creek valley this
morning, according to report re-
ceived here, and rumors were persist
ent that at least hundred persons
had been drowned at Acme, w. Va.
These rumors were denied Ly officials
Of the Acme Coal company.
Six bridges on the Chesapeake &
Ohio railway are reported to have
been washed out and in a number OF
places the tracks are said to have
been swept from the right-of-way.
The Kanawha & Michigan and other
roads in the valley also suffered heav-
lily. Wire communication with the
Cabin Creek valley district is prac-
tically paralyzed.
Efforts to get into communication
with the stricken district were una
vailing. Just as connection was
made 1.ith the telephone operator at
Eskdale she shouted into the tele-
phone, II can't stay here to talk to
you; I've got to leave right away!
Reports were received at Montgom-
cry that at least 100 persons had lost
their lives, but confirmation was
lacking there, as it was in Huntington
and Charleston, where the same re-
port was persistent.
Chesapeake & Ohio division Offices
here were unable to learn the fate OF
their trains in this district when the
last wire went down at 2:3O o'clock
th;s afternoon
