ASK WAR GUARD AT
IRRIGATION WORKS
Suspicion of German Sympathizers
Impels Farmers to Seek
Protection

POCATELLO, July because o1
the fear that German sympathizers
may attempt to injure or destroy ir.
rigation works, the Farmers Protec-
tive Irrigation association has called
upon Governor Alexander and Attor-
ney General Walters to issue an Of
fetal warning to all persons to keep
away from dams and headgates of
irrigation projects.
In the communication to the attor-
ney general it is stated that the canal
companies are now having their dams
and headgates guarded by those who
have been sworn in as deputy sheriffs
but that some trouble has been ex-
perienced with fishermen, who ques-
tion the authorities of the guards to
keep them away from dams and
headgates in the public streams of
the state.
Considerable damage was done to
crops and baled wool stored on
some of the farms lying below the
Portneuf-Marsh Valley irrigation
ditch by a break in the main canal
Saturday last. The cause Of the break
has not been ascertained, but owing
to the fact that the bank has given
way at several other places recently
and that the trouble has always oc-
cured at night, it is suspected that
deliberate attempts are being made
by unknown agencies cause SER
ious flood. The advisability of pat
rolling the entire canal and head
works is now being considered.

camp. They expect to be competant
to take the field by the first of the

RUSSIANS OPEN TWO
TRIUMPHANT OFFENSIVES
Strongholds About Lemberg Being
Reduced i'm Operations Along
@ Wide Front

The Russian troops were turned
loose in Galicia on the first of July
and made tremendous start in their
new campaign. Koniuchy, a strong.
hold near Lemberg, was captured,
with 1874 officers and 8,400 men. The
total number Of men made prisoner
on Sunday is more than 10000. Many
trench systems were taken in the
engagement, which covered very ex-
tended territory.
General Brussiloff, who is in COM
mand of the Russian forces, has a
record of success behind him. It
was he we heard so much about in
connection with Russian successes
against Austria a year ago, which
were partly responsible for the OPP
portunity Of the Somme drive on the
western front.

Vests Greatest Orator
Wins Blackfoot Audience

Brigham H. Roberts, who deliver.
ed the Independence day address tc
an assembly of between three and
four hundred people before the Court
House, Wednesday, made good his
name as one of the finest orators
in the west. His patriotic fevor
was so impelling, and he was so
sincere and eloquent, that his audi
ence applauded vigorously at every
pause, and IL there were eyes that
remained dry thru the stirring per-
iods of his closing message nobody
looked to see them.
Again and again Mr.. Roberts car
ried away his hearers in the zeal
of patriotic interest, as when, after
recounting our nations earnest ef-
forts to avoid war and even to re-
main neutral in judgment, and how
we had finally followed our excellent
president into the conflict heart and
soul, he said:
"Thank God this American spirit
was found at last to defend the true
principles of liberty against destruc-
ton
Should anything go wrong with
the allied arms in Europe, said the
orator, it would be up to America
to champion the Anglo Saxon free
civilization against the world. He
believes that with such cause
America could hold out against the
world and win. But he felt glad
that we have our allies, and do not
have to fight alone for democracy
He went over our national his
tory, our first declaration of inde-
|pendence, our wars and growth. He
described the splendid symbolism of
the stars and stripes with ring of
triumphant patriotism that made all
eyes shine.
Eternal vigilance is the price OF
liberty" was a message he drove
home with all his power. He eulog-
lied the mothers of the young men
of the nation, and said theirs Is al
ways the supreme sacrifice OF war,
and the most glorious.
"If our freedom and liberty are
from God, then they should also be
enjoyed by the people of Europe"
said the speaker In Just1rylng our ue-
fense Of those principles in foreign
country.
The program was filed out with
some pleasing quartet music, a mixed
quartet, consisting Of Mrs. G. G.
Hayes, Mrs. H. G.. Williams, Max
Smith and H. G.. Williams; and a
ladies' quartet, Mrs. s. L. Reece,
Mrs. Craig, Mrs. Thorsten and Mrs.
H. G.. Williams. Mrs. G. G. Hayes
sang solo, a moving, patriotic song.
Rev. Colver, of the Baptist church,
opened the exercises with prayer, and
closed them with benediction. Mrs.
C. A. Duke and Miss Wright served
as pianists for the singing. The
meeting closed with singing by
the congregation of America"
