NOT THE WAY TO SUCCEED.

The Caldwell Tribune is not doing
the Republican party in Canyon coun-
ty any good by belittling the Progress
sive party. The last evidence on the
subject, which was the vote of 1914,
showed the trump" to be the same
size as the Republican party. To
treat these two thousand voters with
ridicule and sarcasm is not an invi-
tation 10 return to the party that they
will appreciate.
Fortunately there are board-minded
men in both parties who recognize
the importance of waving minor diff
ferences and uniting against the COM
mon enemy. The Leader-H Herald be-
iieves this union will be brought
about. 1t believes conditions warrant
it, but it regrets that any Republican
paper should 60 out of its way to be-
little movement, which if not con-
summated, means beyond any ques-
ton of doubt Democratic victory.
-Nampa Leader-Herald.
Amt it awful? However the broad
minded men of both parties will prob
ably pull us through the crisis.

The Caldwell Tribune has informa-
ton which it seems disposed to credit
that Governor Moses Alexander will
not be a candidate for second term,
and that statement will soon be
issued giving the reasons which impel
him to retire to private life. Governor
Alexander has discovered to his dis
appointment. that a promise to per-
form is one thing and performance is
another. He made his campaign on
a promise to save million a year to
the people of the state and to clean
out the state house from cellar to gar
ret, and he has failed ANONYMOUSLY in
both. True. he has devoted most of
his time to skipping from place to
place both within the state and out
side, thereby neglecting the real dut-
les of his Office, and haranguing the
people with self-praise on his achieve
ments, while his daily organ in the
capital has devoted columns to figures
to show that he has made good his
promise to save million a year. But
the governor has not been able to fool
the people on his record and he there
fore knows that he can not again fool
them into supporting him for reelec-
ton. This explains why he will not
be candidate to succeed himself. re-
CARELESS of what his explanation may
be.
The Tribune learns that John F.
Nugent is being groomed for the
Democratic nomination. a selection
that seems to meet approval of the
party, but for different reasons. Some

might be elected and will support him
for that reason, while others want to
bury him so deep that he will never
again show sign Of political life and
they believe that his nomination for
governor would give them their OPP
portunity, Between these two con-
hicting elements in the Idaho Demo
crazy, Nugent would certainly be
doomed to defeat. but he has shown,
wonderful recuperative powers in the
past and he would probably be able
to again come back to plague those
who were responsible for his down
fall.

BOISE RIVER IS NOT
CARRYING MUCH WATER
Cold Weather is Holding Back the
Flow but Rise Daily Expected.

Winter is slow in relaxing its grip
on the Boise river watershed. On
Saturday the stream was carrying
5000 second feet of water above Ar
rowrock and 5000 below the mouth
of Mores creek. In anticipation of
rise, the gates in Arrowrock dam
were opened sufficiently at 10 a. m.
on Sunday to permit the flow of an
additional thousand second feet down
stream. This was done to prevent
the water rising in the reservoir fas-
ter than it is intended that it shall.
The surface of the reservoir was 3112
feet above sea level on Saturday, or
seven feet above the center line of the
spillway gate, and within SO feet of the
spillway crest. The highest level of
the reservoir last year was $3.50 feet
above sea level.
Storage.
On Saturday Arrowrock reservoir
contained seventy thousand acre feet
of water. and Deer Flat reservoir
about the same amount, available for
irrigation. The main canal is now
carrying l240 second feet into Deer
Flat reservoir.
The ice on the surface of Arrow
rock reservoir is shifting about con-
siderably. 1t is now possible to go
along the shores in a rowboat. The
ice is melting slowly and gradually
breaking up. A stiff wind would aid
in its disintegration. 1t does not
threaten to cause any trouble and
the reclamation officials do not in
tend that it shall. Their object is to
save as much storage room as pos
sible for the big run-off in June so
as to keep the flow below the dam
down to point where no damage can
result. The Arrowrock and Deer
Flat reservoirs can easily be filled
when the spring freshet starts.

fifteen of them. and every time she
