vice. 1t follows:
December Is, 1916.
The Secretary, Boise Water Users
Association, Boise, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
|. For some time it has been evil
dent that there is sufficient water
available in the Boise river to irrigate
more land than there is under the
present canals of the project.
2. The present Boise project con-
tains approximately $4,000 acres
divided as follows:
Acres
Upper division ...,....,......-...------.9 W lO4
Deerflat $751;
1926
Studies of the project water supply
have recently been brought up to date
which show that $4,000 additional
acres could have been given a COM
plete water supply without producing
any material shortage in more thar
two out of the twenty-five years OF thu
past river flow record.
3. In view Of this situation, survey
and estimates have been made Tor var
Iious areas in and adjacent to the Bois'
project in order to obtain sufticien
data to determine which, of any, o
these additional areas can be brough
into the Boise project. The results o
the surveys, field examination and OF

WORK STARTED ON ADDITION
To the Farmers and Merchants
National Bank of Lake City.

Active work has been commenced
on the addition to the Farmers and
Merchants National Bank, of Lake
City, to be built by Hoggson Broth
ers, of Atlanta and New York. The
present building is baking and
office building, we'll designed along
simple architectural lines adapted
from the English Renaissance.
The design is to be carried out in
light grey brick; the plain brickwork
of the upper portion contrasting
successfully with the rusticated first
story and the whole design being
brought out by the panelled parapet
and stone cornices and trim. 1t has
been the aim in the new portion to
produce complete building. which
while adequate for the enlarged
banking requirements, will still pre-
serve the simple architectural lines
of the present building.
On the interior, the banking facil-
tiles have been greatly enlarged and
bettered by the additional working
space and new counterscreen, pro-
viding two additional wickets; to-
gether with the new officers space,
consultation room, ladies retiring
room on the first floor, and the d.
rectors' room on the second floor.
One important Improvement is
the new heating system, which is a
combination of hot water and forced
fresh heated air, insuring proper
ventilation for the banking space at
all times.
The original bank building was
built in 1906. The officers of the
bank are: President. ] S McClam;
vice president. T ] Cottingham;
cashier. B Wallace Jones. Jr; assist.
ant cashier. w Wesley Singletary.

of Greece. With the mobilization O!
our army from other parts Of Greece
where the climate is like that
of Rome, numbers of men have
been thrown into Macedonia who are
not at all accustomed to the snow and
the Vardar wind. In great part they are
small farmers who get on with very
little in the way of clothing. Where
they are ordinarily living they do not
need any underwear and the uniforms
they take with them into Macedonia
are also comparatively light. The av-

NO MYSTERY ABOUT
DEATH OF HOK.INSON

FRANK Wiley, superintendent of the
county infirmary, denies that there is
any mystery concerning the time and
place of the death of Nels Hokinson,
as was reported yesterday when a
woman interested in settlement of an
estate in Sweden told Moline police
she had been unable to obtain proof
OF the mans death. Superintendent
Wiley says he does not understand
how the impression was gained that
the poor farm records did not show
that Hokinson died there or was ever
an inmate there, as the police were
told. He says that on Tuesday he in
formed one person who inquired about
Hokinson's death OF facts shown by
the records.
According to the infrmary books,
Robinson died Nov. II, 1909, at the
age of SO years. There will be no
dlfhculty in obtaining proof of his
death, the infirmary head states.
1t was stated that inability to OBJ
tam formal proof had tied up a large
estate in Sweden Report is that the
