It Ia stated on good authority

It Ia stated on good authority
that the United States reclamation
service will send a committee To
this part Of Idaho during the sum
mer to investigate irrigation con-
ditions and to plan for the handling
of the work to be done on the King
Hill project. When this commits
sion Ia on the grounds there should
be the opportunity OF life time for
the commercial bodies OF this part
of Idaho, from Bliss to kuna to
work for q comprehensive system OF
government irrigation on the vast
plain ON the north OF the Snake
river. There are more than 100000
acres OF irrigable lands in the
territory and the Twin Falls north
side canal at Bliss could be extend
cd to the west and take in all the
land now lying waste and include
the various small projects In the
territory, administering and water
ing them at cost far less than 1t
is now done.
Local commercial bodies should
get together, get the endorsement
and active help of the state govern
ment, send committee OF well In
formed men back to Washington to
present the matter to the Interior
department and get busy on the
plans and specifications that could
be submitted to the commission to
investigate the matter. 1t Is the
chance of lifetime, with the pros
poets that all crops will be short
this season and probably for sever
al seasons to come, for we believe
that nowhere In the west is there
similar body of land of equal
acreage and equal climatic worth
that can be irrigated for the same
money. The land now waste or used
for grazing tributary to the towns
near US could be made to support
a population of 100000 people
and add UNNECESSARILY to the pros
perity of the west, besides helping
to make living easier, by increas-
ed production, for the entire nation.

Blessed ssulles.

The good-natured man Is not only
blessing to himself, but to all with
whom he comes in contact. He makes
life seem possible when the surround
lngs are thick with gloom and disap-
continents. He causes sunshine and
cheer to enter into the dreary drudgery
of everyday trials and difficulties. Ii
he is the head of the firm he gets more
from his men with smile than he
would with crouch. He knows that
keeping go0d-natured keeps him on the
high pedestal.

Energy OF Tides.

The net electric energy to be dc.
rived from the British tides Ia placed
by Prof. David Robertson at about
10000 kilowatts per square mile for
q double tide of 31.5 feet and 600 hlo-
watts for a tide Of Z feet Places
offering a large inclosed area with
comparatively short dam are the
promising ones for tidal utilization and
the British channel seems by far the
most advantageous situation In the
British isles, with the Firth Of Clyde

After an early weakness, but with
out much liquidation. stocks rallied
moderately yesterday with most OF the
trading confined to professionals. The
feature of the morning was the lack
OF pressure such as we saw the day
previous, but at midday Studebaker

trmed reports that the market was
temporarily at standstill. Other mo-
tor stocks lost a little ground and it
looked very much as II the selling OF
Studebaker may have been due to bear
attack. II was "A holiday market.
Considering the Washington plan to
control many products and the war tax

Lokal Anzeiger Holly At

Berlin. Germany, March 6.-(Nia
London. March THE Lokal Anzei-
ger. in 4 lengthy editorial, today Sc
verely criticises president Wilson's in
augural address
'On the self same day that James

Presidency says the newspaper. his
successor. president Wilson. at the
capitol in Washington, tore up the
document known as the Monroe Doc

cardinal feature Of Americas foreign
politics.
The entire address is plainly IN ar
2ument in support Of the necessity,
which president Wilson thinks has been
shown by The world war. that there
should be enforced on the old world
the laws which he has evolved IN his
own mind for regulating the lnterreia-
tions of the nations OF the earth IN
future. In this ambition, which Dor
ders on megaiomania- is revealed a
measure of presumption which, thank
God, is in inverse ratio 10 the physical
assets at his command
Would be Mediator.
That, however. is not the most re-
voting feature Of his address. IN eacn
OF its sentences the intention is plainly
revealed through persistent misstate-
ments. distortion and cOncealment OF
unbeatable facts, 10 proclaim himself
10 the world at large as peace me-
diatOr al the very moment that he IS
threatening without cause to take up
arms and enter the war; and this
though he is responsible for its pro-
longation by virtue Of his pro-Engiish
attitude. his socalled neutrality and his
numerous sins of omission.
Answers With Threat
Never has the capitol at Washington
been more profanely desecrated by
speech than on this occasion In each
OF its sentences. its author sets up the
claim To be counted among the most
righteous and honorable of mortaIs.
while in each word he reveals himself
the most unrighteOus and dishOnorabls
man who has yet stood at the head OF
great state. And when he states
that there is nothing that can alter
his thoughts or his intention I.0OO.0Og

to the shipping and federal reserve

Urge Aiming Ships
Some administration officials today
were urging on president Wilson their
view that he may legally arm mer-
chant ships now without awaiting ex-
press authority which congress might
give if called in special session
They argued that the old law passed
in 1919 forbidding a merchantmen 10
fire on a public armed vessel of a
nation in amity with the United
States" would not apply TO the present
situation The president heard these
views with keen interest and indicated
that he is seeking some legal means OF
acting promptly but would prefer con-
gressional approval
