ARROWROCK RESERVOIR
WILL ACT AS CHECK
ON BOISE RIVER

Arrowrock reservoir contained 49,
$50 acre feet of water on Saturday,
March 4, or approximately one-hfth
of its storage capacity. More than
that amount the Boise project officials
do not care to store until the weather
moderates and there can be no danger
of frozen gates or damage by ice.
The ice on the reservoir is 70 inches
deep and will probably remain on the
surface until we'll into the summer,
The presence of the ice and the pos
sibility of the gates freezing in should
the water be raised higher in the res
ervoir led to the decision on the part
of the officials not to attempt greater
storage until warm weather.
Heavy Runoff Anticipated.
Another feature that has been TAX
en- into consideration is the probabili-
ty of an abnormal run-off in the
Boise river this year. There is more
snow on the watershed than there has
been in any year since records were
kept. Should this snow melt rapidly,
it would cause an unusually heavy
food. To take care of this food,
the project officials are purposely
holding down the Arrowrock storage
so that the dam will be able to keep
the river within bounds. The water
level is being held at the middle gate
Deer Flat Storage.
Deer Flat reservoir is receiving
storage water at the rate of 600 acre
feet every "a hours 1t now contains
45,o67 acre feet, of which $500 are
available, or above the outlet level
The total storage capacity of the res
ervoir is 10000 acre feet and it i:
being gradually filled, leeway being
left for spring floods or freshets which
are expected this year. The storags
flow will probably be increased as the
season advances until the reservoir i:
filled, but enough margin will be lief
to provide against contingencies II
the way of flood waters.
Had there been the slightest posi-
bility Of small run-off in the Bois'
river this year, more water woult
have been stored by this time, Blu
with the certainty of an abundance
and the almost certainty of having t.
care for an exceptially heavy run
of. there was no necessity for earl
storage. When the snow begins t
melt the reservoir can speedily be fill
ed and the flow of the river held il
check at the same time.

ANURIC!
The Newest Discovery I'm Chemistry.

This is recent discovery of Docto
Pierce, who is head of the lnvalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo
N. Y. Experiments at DR.. Pierce's
Hospital tor several years proved that
there is no other eliruinator of uric
acid that can be compared to it, For
those easily recognized SYMPTOMS of
inhammation-as baclacne, scalding
urine and frequent urinatlon, as well as
sediment in the urine, or if uric acid
in the blood has caused rheumatism, it
is simply wonderful how surely "An-
uric" acts. The best Of results are a..
ways obtained in cases Of acute rheu-
matism in the joints, in gravel and
govt, and invariably the pains and
stiffness which so frequently and per
sistently accompany the disease rapid
ly disappear.

Note: "Anuric" is thirty-seven
times more active than lithia in elimi-
mating uric acid, and is harmless but
reliable chemical compound that may
be safely given to children, but should
be used only by grown-ups who actu-
ally wish to restore their kidneys to
perfect health, by conscientiously US

Elder Hears a Noise.
(Pocatello Chronicle

1t is reported from Boise that Rob-
ert H. Elder, the present democ. attic
national committeeman, has written to
friends in that city saying that he is
in favor of direct primaries for the
selection of a national committeeman
and to choose delegates to the demo-
cratic national convention at St. Louis.
If this report is true, it proves that
Mr.. Elder has been out among the
democratic voters and that he has
ter And even if the report proves to
be true, it is unfortunate that Mr.. FL
der did not make the discovery until
forced to do so by the open announce
ment of Jerome J. Day, his competi-
tor, who weeks ago, came out positive
ly in favor of the primary.
| Mr.. Elders announcement in favor
of the primary at this late day will
leave the impression that he was fore
ed to this action by the drift of public
sentiment.
1t is rather unfortunate, too, that
Mr.. Elder does not have it in his
power to provide for direct party
primary That power is in the hands
of ]. T. Pence, the state chairman
and his committee. and Mr.. Pence is
understood to be positively against
the primary Mr.. Elder might make
loud professions in favor of the pri.
mary, and after it was defeated by
Pence and his committee, the present
national committeeman might say:
81 favored the primary, but Pence
and his committee refused to yield;
used all my influence with them, bu
they would not listen to me-"
This will not satisfy the rank ane
file of the party. There is wei
grounded conviction that Elder ant
Pence are together as one man in par
ty matters; that the present stat
committee was built up with the ide;
ON their part of carrying out thei
wishes. For this reason it will be i'm
possible for Elder to slough the re
sponsibility to Pence, or for Pence t.
: slough the responsibility to his com
mittee. The party members under
stand the situation exactly, and the.
are ready to act accordingly.
What democrats are asking for jus
!. now is the opportunity to express thei
wishes openly. They expect thei
leaders to give them this opportunity

CANN()y IN CAVES
 ()N ITALIAN FRONT
Both Sides Making Use Of Safe
 Hiding for Guns

(Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 Headquarters of the italian Army in Austria, June 30.-The use of caves as hiding places for cannon is one of the curious aids to artillery work in these mountains. Both Aus trian and Italian artillery officers have exercised the greatest ingenuity in finding the proper caves for their can non, since once well located the pieces are comparativ ely safe from discov- cry. The damage done on both sides by such hidden pieces has been se- were.
 On one occasion the correspondent of the Associated Press while near the 1sOnzO river witnessed an artillery duel between an Italian battery so hidden and three Austrian batteries which were seeking to protect the mouth of a cavern until an Austrian piece could be dragged into it. Sev- eral of the Italian regiments and those of the Austrians as well knocked off their daily business for time to watch the duel.
 The Austrians had for some days been attempting to plant a cannon in @ cavern the mouth of which was plainly visible from the Italian lines,

but the Italian battery from its cav ern on the opposite side of the IsOnZo kept up such a hot fire day and night that the Austrians had not yet suc- Cecded in their attempt On this par ucUlar morning they had kept up a steady fire from several heavy guns on the Italian battery and, under cov- CT of this fire, had almost dragged their piece, apparently one of 149 mill ]imeter calibre, inside the cavern's mouth, a line of trenches having been thrown up to the mouth of the cavern to protect the soldiers dragging it.
 As the piece was slowly turning in- side the mouth of the cavern, the Aus trian troops set up a mighty roar, mO2king the Italians throwing their caps high into tho air. The Austrian cannon also threw shell after shell across the intervening valley of the IsOnzO, each shell exploding seeming ly at the mouth of the cavern used by the Italian battery or else inside it. One series of shell shots from an Aus trian 305 exploded almost every two minutes about the Italians hiding place, WTeathing it in a dense smoke.
 Just as the Austrian piece seemed at last to approach safety within the cavern a shell from the Italian gun fell plumb upon it, knocked it over and scattered the soldiers pulling on' it's ropes and showing on it's blocks.

 Another story dealt with the ex- citing life of two small boys, who lived in a packing box and subsisted on the earnings of one of them, a EeWsbOy. How I envied those boys! How gladly would I have exchanged my own comfortable little room and lny certain-sure three meals 8 day for their precarious but exciting existence! Perhaps I shouldn't be so anxious to exchange now, yet I would like to meet them again, but, alas! I do not know where to look for them.

 The third was also a boy story. (Why are boy stories so much more Interesting than girl stories? Prob Hbly because the small boy himself has so much better a time.) This tale was about two or three boys who were travelling around the world alone. The particular passage that I want to read again was one in which they escaped in a small boat from the hold of a Chicago vessel where they had heen stowaways, and where a fire had broken out. There was a picture which showed them escaping. There were other details, but somehow this was the only one which I remember.

 A Morbid But Exciting Story
 A great many years ago I read a story about two sisters who had to spend a night alone in big, lonely house. They went into a closet to get something and the older and stronger minded of the two saw a the far end of it. She knew that if she betrayed her knowledge of his presence, they were lost, so she man. aged to control herself, and tried to prevent her younger sister from seeing the man by making some quick move nent which would extinguish the light. She was not quick enough how ever; the younger sister saw the man and shrieked. The man knew he was discovered, pursued the girls down the stairs and murdered them.
 Not a cheerful story? No, but partly because of this very morbid ness, it made a. deep impression on my youthful mind. Also because we had a very big, deep closet in the house, and I used to mentally stage the story in that closet, thus giving it greater yividness.

Charlie Chaplin week is drawing to a close at Keeney's and admirers Of the famous comedian, who have not attended any of the performances dur ing the past five days, will have but tonight and tomorrow to see him shuf- fle his way through "The Vaga gabOnd," the latest Mutual release in which he is featured.
 The picture has entertained large audiences every day since it was first shown and movie" lovers who are seeking surcease from gloom or who would get rid of that tired feeling should take advantage of the chances to laugh which the production pro- vides.
 Chaplin never seems to get mon OtOnous and he is even funnier now than ever. The Keeney audiences thls week start to laugh from the moment his shoes of ancient vintage and enor- nous size peek from beneath the bar room door until lis final bow, before starting towards the land of promise with his sweetheart.
 The theater will offer tonight and tomorrow several additional screen ieaSUres including some of the krazy Kat cartoon comedies.
 The spectacular acrObatic achieve ments of the Colonial MOntrose troupe have caused a sensation during the week. This act Is alone we'll worth the admission price charged for the entire show. Jones, comedy juggler, also does some clever work and con- tributes considera ble towards the suc- cess of the program.
