BORAH OPPOSED TO
WATER POWER BILL

Copies of the Congressional Record
received here show that Senator Borah
continued his position to the Ferris
Water Power bill to the last. In a
brief speech on the day the senate
passed the bill he said:
Mr.. President, j presume that the
bill Is about to pass, and have no de-
sire to delay it. because nothing is to
be gained by it's delay. The bill has
heretofore been before the senate and
discussed at great length, and most
of us have expressed our views upon
the bill heretofore. After weeks of de-
bate it passed by vote of two to one,
30 we could not hope to change re-
suits.
IN view of the fact, however, that
apparently there is to be no roll call
upon the bill 1 simply want to say.
without repeating what / have here
tofore said. that 1 am opposed to the
bill l realize that some legislation
Is important that we deal with the
matter At the same time there are
some provisions of the bill which
make it impossible for me to vote for
1t. Much as l want development, l
can not vote for this measure. 1t Is
unwise legislation in fundamental par
uculars.
II would undertake to discuss the
matter, Mr.. President, if it were not
for the fact that. as said, it has been
heretofore discussed and the vote has
been had, and know that the opinion
of the majority of the senate is in ia
vor of the passage of the bill. I see
nothing to be gained. therefore. by de-
laying it and repeating the discussion.
If felt any possible change could be
brought about in it's passage l should
be glad to enter the discussion, but it
is apparent any effort would be wholly
Ruthless"

GOOD PROGRESS IN
CONSTRUCTION Of
4OOO-ACRE PROJECT.
Little Willow Irrigation Dis
trict Will Have Good Wa
ter s VS. t e m w h e n the
Works Are Completed.

Payette, Dec 21.-Very satisfactory
progress is being made on the build
ing of the dam, ditches ETC., for the
1000 acre project OF the Little Willow
Irrigation district located % miles
northeast of Payette. Nancy Bros &
Co., who have the contract for. the
dam and bitches, state the project will
be completed before the first of
March, which will be amply early to
get water for the first irrigation next
season.
The dam for this project will be 80
feet high from bedrock 1t will be
800 feet long on top and Is of arch
type, making 1t absolutely safe. The
reservoir back Of the dam will store
10000 acre-feet of water which is
much more than Is needed for irrigat-
ing the 1000 acres In the district.
What was old Paddock valley forms
the reservoir back of the dam. 1t Is
an ideal reservoir site.
Mr.. Wells Of Nancy Bros. & Co.,
speaks highly Of this project. He said
the district Is bonded for $4,000 to
build the project, or s45 per acre. He
said 1t is all decided land and that
practically every acre in the district
will be in cultivation In the spring. He
said the project is in the form of n
long shoe string and will be ideal for
stockmen as a winter feeding ground.
Alfalfa grows there to perfection and
there is running water for stock the
year round,

{ Has 128 Members.

Payette, Dec. 21.-During the past
three years the Idaho Oregon Honey
Producers association shipped out a
total of $160,700 worth of honey. The
present year was ths most successful
one financially in the history of the

extracted honey was shipped to Seat
tle one car to New York, and 10 cars

London for the English government. All
the extracted honey was put in five
gallon cans.
OF the eight cars of comb honey, the
= minimum car contained 1850 cases, the
maximum 1900 cases. each case weigh
ing % pounds. So that each of these
cars had from 1890 to 1880 pounds Of
honey.
128 ACTIVE MEMBERS.
This association has 12S active men,
bers in the territory between Weiser
and Mountain Home, and 1t controls
e5 per cent of the honey in this ter
ritory. Crowther & West, of Parma,
were the biggest producers of honey in
the association this year, their ship
ments amounting to three carloads this
season.

MEXICO TOLD
BY FLETCHER

Mexico City, April 25-United States
Ambassador Fletcher issued a state
ment to the Mexican press last night
in which he declared that the rela-
lions between Mexico and the United
States were increasingly cordial and
that any misunderstanding would be
due to the activities of enemies OF
both countries. The statement fol-
lows:
81 do not believe that any difficulty
may be expected between the United
States and Mexico as the result of
the entrance of the United States to
the war; My government is perfect
ly satisfied with the declaration Of
neutrality Of Mexico, made by the
president on April ID, and Is confident
that Mexico, as a sovereign people,
will respect the same, taking meas
ures for it's strict observance.
mo pressure has been exercised
by the United States on Mexico or
on any other neutral country to force
its entrance to the war on the side
Of the United States The relations
between the United States and Mexi-
co each day grow more cordial and
friendly, and I sincerely hope there

tween the two great democracies of

ROCKY" FARRELL'S
FLAG DESIGNATED

John T. Farrell, better known to a
host of baseball fans in this city as
ROCKY Farrell, said yesterday that
an American flag hung over his home
at 554 Atlantic street had been torn
from the halliards during the night
and trodden in the ground. It was
discovered when the family awakened
this morning.
Police investigation is being made
but as in the previous cases, sc
craftily is the work of desecrators
done, there is little hope Of the cul-
prits being brought to justice.

involving in differences the two ma
tons it will be the result Of the eff
forts Of enemies Of one or other of the
countries or both.
THE government of the United
States desires nothing except prosper
ity for this country and wishes moth
ing that disturbs the establishment
of free, constitutional and orderly
government, pacification Of the coun-
try and promotion Of prosperity. The
United States, in spite Of vehement
desires and sincere efforts to remain
aloof from the great conflict, has been
forced to take up arms and sin
cerely hope that Mexico will be more
fortunate than us in this respect.
Americans in Mexico, conscious Of
the hospitality of this country both in
their official acts and private life will
abstain from any act that might COM
promise the neutrality Of Mexico or
place this government in an embar-
RAISING position
The statement will be printed in all
Mexico City papers today. 1t was is
sued as result of newspaper re-
ports from the United States that gave
alarming reports Of the suspicious
there in regard to Mexico's position.
Ambassador Fletcher will make the
same statement to Gen. Carranza to-
morrow, If he has the opportunity.
Rafael Martinez, editor of Ell Demo-
crata,' strongly pro-German organ,
was confirmed as member Of con-
gress after long discussion in the
chamber yesterday. He was opposed
by DR.. Att, leader Of the Mexican
labor party. 1t has been openly charg-
ed in Ell Naciona1 that Ell Democratic

German legation and was paid an in
creased rate for advertisements by

Another One Cries That America De
cIares War On Austria to Offset Rus
sia's Collapse That America May Keep
World In Blood and Reap Gold.

Amsterdam, Dec. 10. - Monday. -
Commenting on Americas declaration
Of war against Austria-Hungary, the
Nues weiner Tageblatt, Of Vienna, says:
president Wilson's sudden idea that
war must be declared against Austria
Hungary on the ground that she is Ger
many's vassal, is the craZiest of his
career as a war inciter. We are not
frightened by his declaration of war.
That Mr.. Wilson must think he knows
us better than we know ourselves,
makes us laugh"
The Fremdenblatt Of Vienna refers
to the fact that Americas war declara-
ton was almost simultaneous with the
armistice negotiations with Russia. and
says it is a natural presumption that
President Wilson sees in the turn of
events in Russia the danger of a pos
sible peace. and desires by his move to
prevent the old world from finding re-
pose and to head off stoppage of gar
nering of the enormous advantages OBJ
tained by America from the devastation
of European states by war.

has caused Robert II. Gardiner, of Gar
diner, Maine, to resign as state chair
man of the Maine branch of the organi-
zation, il was announced here today.
In a letter accepting Mr.. Gardeners
resignation William f. Short, secretary
of the league, wrote:
The league has so often both de-
clared and demonstrated that it is not
a pacifist organization, that we are
somewhat surprised that one of our
state chairmen should only now have
discovered the fact"
Mr.. Gardiner in his letter charged
that the league seems to have now no
policy except to join officially in the
effort to crush Germany. 1t may be
that it is necessary that Germany
should be crushed, but I cannot see in
that any reason why the league should
abandon its original object.
THE recent appeal of Lord Lans-
downe. whether il succeeds or fails, is
one example of what the league might
have done in an effort to remain true to
its original principles"
Secretary Short in his letter said the
league does not share with Lord Lans-
downe's views. We feel bound. on the
contrary" he wrote, ITO use our entire
influence against the German scheme
for premature peace, believing that a
peace with an unrepentant Germany
would be permanently fatal to the
worlds liberties and tranquility.
