WATER USERS MEET

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Eastern Idaho Water
company was held at the City hall,
Saturday afternoon, April 1. The
old board of directors, consisting OF
Messrs. G.. A. Powell, H. G. Taylor,
Sam Lloyd, L. w. Johnson and John
Wasley, was reelected by acclama-
ton. President G.. A. Powell resided.
The financial report read by Secre-
tary c. F. Sims was accepted by the
meeting, and the matter of waste
water belonging to other companies
and running thru bitches belonging
to the Eastern Idaho company, the
government and others, was taken up
and a combined effort to stop the
practice was decided upon, but nc
definite conclusions reached. Hon.
p. G.. Johnston was present and gave
the meeting some information con-
cerning the wishes of certain stock
holders as to transferring the water
to the Little Butte ditch.

PAPER SHORTAGE

A conference of paper manufactur'
ers recently issued an appeal to the
public to save old paper, rags and
other raw material Of paper. They
call attention to the great amount oi
such material wasted, and describe
feelingly the scramble of the paper
makers for the stock needed to fill
orders.
Comparatively few people save
paper as they once did. Formerly
householders had thrifty little ac-
count with the junk man, and the
dickering with him was a part OF
the household routine. Many grown
ups recall how on rainy days as
children, they would be set to sort
ing out white rags from the colored
one class bringing better price than
the other. II mixed, they all went
in at the low price, which the thrifty
housewife could not stand for. The
few coins gained would look trifiine
now. But material was conserved
and prices kept down.
During recent years the collecting
of old newspapers has been under
taken as money raising scheme in
behalf of churches and other So
cleties. Many people can be interest
ed to save paper for this purpose
who would not do it for their own
profit. 1t is popular in the country
where ready money is often scarce,
and church funds come slow.
1t is a very simple matter to file
away old papers in the attic and save
them for the Ladies' Aid society
The amount of paper and paper stock
that goes through the average home
is very considerable in these days,
when so many newspapers, maga-
zines, circulars and packages come
in. The proceeds may not be large
But to organize such collections for
a public cause does not require any
great amount of labor.
The net result is conservation OF
resources and the removal of lot
of dust collecting rubbish from the
homes. It is economically profitable
to the community. This cannot be
said of all the suppers and enter
tainments conducted for public
causes .-Pocatello Tribune.

HAMER FAMILY CATCH TROUT

Mrs. w. H. Harmon writes as fol.
lows from Hamer.
"Blackfoot was represented by
fishermen on the thirtieth and thirty
first of March and also the state and
county game wardens were on hand
to weigh the trout and examine the
licenses.
I'VE went fishing, three of us, and
we got 35 pounds of the finest rain
bow trout ever seen. The little girl
six years old, named Magdalene,
caught her share, one weighing six
and a half pounds, being too large
for her to land so her papa did 1t
for her. We caught one weighing
12 pounds, and from that down to
four pounds. Magdalene objected to
her six-pounder being eaten. but she
finally consented.
"Hamer has good accommodations
for fishermen, there being plenty OF
nice rigs to drive out to where fish
ing is good"
