cinity and in surrounding towns in
the coming of Ida NJ Tarbell to this
CITY, March 6 for lecture under the
auspices of the Business Girls club.
The following words of appreciation
for the noted woman by well known
worker are taken as correctly des-
cribing her character and ability:
ida NJ. Tarbell has frequently been
called Americas foremost journalist,
in her publicity, both from the pen
and the rOstrum, has given the trans
parency of light to social and indus
trial problems-nOt only of America,
but the world. Miss Tarbell has been
aptly called the worlds torch bearer
of industrial freedom. Miss Tarbell
is not, like so many brilliant investi-
gators, a mere doctrinarie, seeking
facts to substantiate a pet hobby. On
the contrary, whether in reading her
books or hearing her from the plat
form. one is forcibly struck, not only
with her mastery of all facts involved,
but equally by the sterling truth and
absolute fairness of her conclusions.
Miss Tarbell is primarily a construc-
ZIONIST, rather than an iconoclast. AS
positive force to prevent war
through remedial measures adequate
to meet the industrial problems which
precipiate war, Ida M. Tarbell is a
most eloquent and most practical pa

unique There is the same electricity
and trenchment power in her speech
that characterizes her Life of Lincoln

Times; The Business of Being a Won

Simultaneously struck and then sus-
tanned that one realizes the orator in
the brilliantly talking journalist in
such eloquent passages as the fol-
lowing:
owe must organize men and women
for labor as for war Watch the per-
lection of the training and movement
of the masses that at this moment are
meeting in unspeakable, internal
slaughter in Europe. See how the
humblest is fitted to his task. With
what ease great bodies wheel, turn,

ter standing men in line that they may
be knocked to pieces, they promptly

to health. If this can be done for war,
should we do less for peace?'
Ida NJ. Tarbell is not only a chief
ornament of the Lyceum and Chau-
tauqua platform, but as a prime work
er in the movement, has utilized its
unlimited possibilities for unlimited
and effective publicity. She was as
sociate editor of the Chautauqua from
1883 until 1891. From 1894 to 1906
she was associate editor of McClure's
Magazine, when she made an increas-
ed circulation of 100000 copies in her
series on the Standard Oil company.
Miss Tarbell is now associate editor
of the American Magazine"

THE GREAT QUESTION OF WATER

So far as the matured conclusions
of the consulting engineer are con-
cerned, the questions as to place,
method and cost of new waterworks,
and presumably, better water, for
Twin Falls, are placed before the pub
lie in another column herewith.
AS to the source of water, the engi-
neer recommends taking the summer
supply from the high line canal at
a point in Section 20, T. II S, r. IS E.
This is eight miles south and eight
miles east of Twin Falls and only
about a mile and a half from the point
where winter water is to be taken
from Rock Creek, in Section 1, T. 25
r. IS E.
The water obtained at each of these
points, after settling, is to be convey
ed by gravity to the site of the pres
ent works, where modern and sani-
tary filtration and storage are to be
provided.
The estimated cost of getting the
water from Rock Creek and the high
line to the new reservoir at the pres
ent site is $176,151OO; cost of bring
ing to the city and distribution there
in, $421 APO. Total cost of proposed
system (wood and from, $597 ,571.0O-
with annual upkeep expense of SAP,
$1,000.
The mayor urges that the people
of Twin Falls give to this very impor
tant matter the most careful consid
Grafton; and that the city administra
ton be given the benefit of all posi-
Bile pertinent criticism and sugges

GOVERNORS OFFICE IS
VERY CONSPICUOUS COG
Practically Impossible to Pass Bill
Over Veto of the Chief Executive
This Session.
(Editorial Correspondencel

BOISE-The governors office is
daily becoming a more conspicuous
cog in the legislative machine, by
reason of the amount of legislative
grist that is being turned out each
day by the house and senate.
AS soon as the legislature gets
through with any measure, interest
centers on the executive office, as it
is well known that the present incum-
bent has no reluctance at all to ex-
press his disapprOval of the legisla-
tors efforts by means of an exercise
of his veto power Up to the present
time the axe has not fallen upon any
measure, but a few are being delayed
in the governors office, and their
friends feel that the additional atten-
ton they are receiving bespeaks no
good.
The governor has signed two county
division bills creating the counties of
Camas and Butte out of Blaine. Both
bills passed the two houses of the
legislature without opposition. the
Blaine county delegation sponsoring
the measures for the division of that
county. Considerable opposition has
developed to the division of Bannocl1
county. and third house members have

it will require "A votes in the house
to pass a bill over the governors We
to, the united action of % of the 36
Democrats would prevent such action.
Appropriations for legislative ex-
penses, totalling $4,000 have been APP
proved by the governor. and he has
already signed the King Hill bill
carrying an appropriation of S26,332.
This latter appropriation is for the re-
pair and maintenance of the King Hill
project during the next biennium The
King Hill project is the property of
the state and is generally character
lied as a white elephant The state
was forced TO purchase 1t at re-
ownership sale two years ago, in or
der to protect the interests of the set
tiers on that project it has since
been negotiating with the federal gov
eminent with the view of turning it
over to the reclamation bureau for
completion The negotiations, while
for several months futile, are now
said to be working out quite satisfac-
tOrily, and it is understood that a fed
eral appropriation will be available
this year and the work viii be PROSE
cuted as rapidly as possible. In the
meantime an irrigation district is be-
ing formed by the settlers for the pur-
pose of bonding the district. These
bonds are to be turned over to the
government as security for the return
of the sums it expends on the irriga-
tion works 1t is impossible for the
settlers who have remained there
throughout the troublous years which
the project has undergone to raise
enough money to make the necessary
repairs on the system year after year
without state aid The appropriation
of s26.332 makes up this deficiency,
and enables the settlers to "hang on"
until the tract can be placed squarely
on its own feet
Other appropriation bills signed by
the governor were the appropriation
for the payment due the members OF
/ the state militia. and the supreme
court appropriation totalling SS1.46O
