able damage. The damage from back
water on Horsepasture river is also
reported as being the worst in the
history OF the stream. Here 1t is
that it is feared that Perry Hinkle
and wife and Little Silas Iinkle and
wife lost their lives. At last reports
they had not been heard from. They
were away from home at the time
Of the food and it Is feared they
were caught in the torrent and
swept away.
Very serious conditions prevailed
all along the line, growing less dis
astrOns, however, as the waters had
chance of spreading over territory
and lesscning the fury Of the descent
through the main course,
Lake ToXaway was a large body
of water, the lake having a shore
line Of some 8 or miles and cover
ing in all, including that territory
not navigable by pleasure boats. but
over which there was constantly
heavily backed water, something
more than 1,700 acres Of land, The
dam was about 60 feet in height, and
of such thickness as to permit Of the
maintenance Of a driveway on the
earth and small rock, and was not,
as supposed by many, of concrete,
The power house belonging to the
Toxaway Company, located Just be-
low the dam, was completely de-
stroyed, entailing loss Of about
$4,000. General estimates of the
cost of constructing the dam are
around $4,000, thus showing a di
rect loss to the company Of upwards
OF 100000
The original cost Of the Toxaway
properties was about 100000. The
company failed to make a success of
the undertaking. and a few years
ago the property was sold by re-
ceiver. 1t went begging at $780,
600, and was bid IN by Col. Jen-
nigs, Standard Oil magnate Of New
York. The day rate at the hotel was
$40. and was patronized principally
by New England and Eastern people.
The breaking of the dam at Tox-
away has been reported dozens of
times during the past ten years-so
often that it had become a standing
joke. Many we're 10th to believe the
report Tunday evening, especially in
view OF the fact that weather condi-
tions had been less trying for some
days past than in the weeks previ-
Gus, through which the dam had
held. 1t Is reported that a leak or
spring at the base Of the dam caused
the break. This spring had been
there since the erection OF the dam,
and many visitors to the lake have
drank water from it.
Great damage to lands all along
the line OF the waters descent is re-
ported, in much Of the territory the
soil being completely washed away
down to hard clay. Other sections
are covered with mud and sand and
rendered useless for agricultural
purposes, for the present at least
The waters of the affected streams
of this section are once more nor
NAL. Oconee can again count her
self peculiarly fortunate in coming
out Of bad situation so compara-
lively little hurt. The constant
menace OF flood when the great
Toxaway dam should break has kept
the people along certain streams in
Oconee always fearful OF disaster
that might happen at any time.

Two Horses Die from Heat.

Florence, Aug. 12.-It is reported
here that NJ. S. Haynsworth, n we'll
to-do and prosperous farmer three
miles from town, had lost two fine
horses Thursday from heat and over
work. 1t is stated that Mr.. Hayns-
worth had given two hands a task
for the day, and in order to get
through with 1t at an early hour to
get off from work, they pushed the
animals too hard in the terrible heat
of the afternoon with the result that
both died that night.

Mr. J. l.. Davis,
Editor, The Tribune,
Caldwell, Idaho.
Dear Sir: 1t is the duty Of every
American citizen to make and sup
port openly his choice among the cam
didatcs for the presidency. That duty
is especially solemn this year because
great events and great decisions are
certain to confront us during the next
administration. | am writing to give
YOU my reasons for my own choice
If you care to lay them before your
readers, please do SO, but not before
Monday morning, September II.

there being no Progressive nominee,

for either Wilson or Hughes.
For many months after his inaugur-

change my view.
In the end came to see that Presi-
dent Wilson has greater power than
any other man in public life to say
one thing but do another, and get
away with it.
The facts which justify this state
ment are common knowledge
We have all heard him tell Ger
many publicly that she would be held
to strict accountability; and have
learned afterward that he had actually
let her know secretly at the time, by
the mouth of his Secretary of State
through the Austrian Ambassador,
that what he said he did not mean.
We have all seen him prove that he
did not mean it by his total failure
to exact reparation, apology, or even
disavowal for the murder Of Ameri-
cans on the Lusitania.
| do not say that Wilson should
have thrust us into war. There was
no need Of war But there was need
OF courage to give us peace with self
respect. If Wilson had shown
courage this country would not have
skidded from one crisis to the next,
again and again narrowly escaping
disaster
We have all heard him declare
against Intervention in Mexico, while
actually intervening to dictate who
should and who should not hold Of
flee there; and denounce war against
Mexico while actually engaged in war.
With war on every side of us, we all
heard him, in his second annual mes
sage, solemnly assure the country
that we had not been negligent in ma
tional defense. 1t was not true; and
later on he himself proved that it was
not true by proclaiming aloud the
need for what he had solemnly as
sured us we already had.
For more than a year after the
world-war began, Wilson did not
raise finger to put us in condition
of defense. Only the proverbial good
luck of America has kept us from
paying the bitterest price for his un-
forgivable neglect.
We have all heard him ridicule the
idea of greater navy, then declare
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1916-09-15

for incomparably the greatest navy in
the world, and then go back on that
We have all heard him declare for
cxempting out coast-wise trade from
tolls in the Penama canal; and have
seen him show our own people and
the English that he did not mean it.
We have seen him elected on a
platform which pledged him to sin
gle term as president, and then be-
come candidate for another term.
We have all heard him declare for
the conservation of our natural re-
sources and have seen him neglect
that policy, and refuse his help to
defeat the Shields waterpower bill, the
most dangerous attack on conserva-
ton since Ballinger's effort to turn
Alaska, over to the Guggenheims.
We have all heard him declare for
efficiency in government, and have
seen him set the pork-barrel first and
throw efficiency away. l have known
official Washington from the inside
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1916-09-15

for six administrations. In that time
the government business has never
been so badly done and so extrava-
gantly as it is now done under Wilson.
We have all heard him announce
himself as the champion of Civil Ser
vice reform; and have seen him turn
the spoilsmen as no other president
has done in twenty years.
We have all heard him declare for
pitiless publicity; and have seen him
conduct the most secret admnistra-
ton of our time.
We have heard him announce him
self as president of all the people, and
have seen him, as the most partisan
president OF his generation, flout and
oppose the Progressives. whom now,
because he needs them, he seeks to
conciliate and enlist.
Worst of all is this: When every
principle of freedom and equality for
which our fathers fought was at stake
IN the great war, when our whole
country eagerly awaited the leader
ship of the president, Wilson lodged
| He refused to take sides on the great
est moral issue of our time. He ad-
vised our people to be neutral even
in thought" undecided between right
and wrong. While our friends abroad
were fighting for the principles we
held equally with them, he taught us
| that profits and ease were better thar
sclf-respcct. President Wilson ha.
done our nation the most serious III
jury that any leader can do to an,
people by making us finch with hin
from a great moral decision. There
by he weakened our hold as a nation
on the principles which alone cal
make any people self-respecting, SAT-
and strong.
Having led us wrong on the groun,
that we must be neutral in the fac
of the deliberate breaking Of til
worlds peace, he has just reverse
himself again, and in his speech a
lShadow Lawn now assures us tina
l"No nation can any longer renal
neutral as against any wilful dis
turbance of the peace of the world.
1t is bad enough that Wilson's for
eign policy has left us, is the wa
draws to its end, without frien
lamong the great nations of the work.
and without the respect of any c
them. What is worse is that he ha
kept us from standing up for that W
know to be right.
The ignoble standard of profit, owe
principle which Mr.. Wilson force
upon the country in our foreign rels
tons, he has applied to himself a
president. In what he has said, dom

therefore, it is important that steps
should be taken in this direction
without delay with view to receiv-
ing legislative aid, if required, prior
to the coming session of the legisla-
lures of the states in the arid sec
ton.
The members of the reclamation
commission, and members of the legal
division of the reclamation service,
have unanimously decided in favor of
the irrigation district plan, and l have
placed in the general field service one
of the district counsel e. W. Burr
of North Yakima, Wash) for the
purpose of assisting district counsel
on the various projects in the organ
ization of irrigation districts.
