GREAT EMPIRE NEAR THE
GOVERNMENT RESERVOIR

The Times editor took weekend
trip TO the Deer Flat section Satur-
day, and can now appreciate the inn
portance of that new empire that has
been opened up south OF Nampa and
Caldwell, and extending to the Snake
river A visit was made to the camp
tent home of MIR and Mrs. r. r.
McNeai, at Richards Point. on the
suoth side of the reservoir, 3 miles
in southwestefly direction from
Nampa
The big reservoir is full to over
flowing, or was a few weeks ago
when the irrigation season started.
and has gone down but little. This
means plenty of water for the farm
ers in the big section west OF Cald-
we'll. The reservoir is a mammoth
lake. . miles wide and ten miles long
and there is a depth of 80 feet OF
water out i'll the middle OF the lake.
Mr., McNeal is competent and
trusted employee of the government
reclamation service, and makes a trip
of 25 miles each day along ditch
that serves about rs farmers with
irrigation water. He is at the end Of
the Mora lateral and the waste water
here goes inro the reservoir, after
making the journey from the New
York canal by Kuna and Mora. which
had before originated from tae Boise
river, miles above Boise city al the
diversion dam.
In this section southwest of Nampa
are thousands OF acres of good farm
lands, which have been under culti-
yation for four years Above this
land is much more that is still above
the ditch. and which Mr.. MeNeal
says, will some day be irrigated from
the Arrow Rock dam On the cul-
tivated land the wheat is looking fine
and will be ready to cut in three
weeks, Much hay L. down and the
showers the past week has kept the
hay out OF the stack where il should

fered, with but few takers.
Mr.. McNeal says there are more
Jack rabbits there nov than for years
past. Literally thousands are in the
sage brush. and driving along the
road, they Scamper from the newly
cultivated fields and are lost to sight
in the sage brush. IN one place il
was noticed that they had completely
eaten an acre OF wheat. cutting the
stems of near the ground.
One interesting feature OF a trip
with Mr,Neal. was view OF the two
mile road ending ON the Morris farm.
There is a volcanic deposit of red
ashes, in an immense quarry on the
Morris farm. and some of this has
been spread on the roadway thar was
formerly regular mud hole. Ii beats

WILFRED ALLISON is
HOME ON A FCRLOI'GH

Wired Allison, son OF Mr.. and Mrs
o. E. Allison, the Meridian boy
aboard the summarized President
Lincoln arrived home Tuesday night
and told of his experiences. He was
ships cook on the transport AZ the
time it was sunk, 500 miles off the
European coast, by a German si.h-
marine. Allison and his shipmafes
were Is hours in the water before
they were picked M BY United States
destroyers.
In speaking of his experience ALI
son said that the transport was
struck about 3 o'clock in the morn
ing. The first thing | knew about
it was when the alarm sounded" he
said Il was down below, and too
my life preseryer and beat it upon
deck. We were coming back to Am
erica. The submarine hit us twice
toward and once aft
We mustered npon the open deck.
where we were checked off. Ever
thing went off like drill. There was
no excitement and the discipline was
perfect. The captain had perfect
control Of everything. He apparently
thought that the ship was not sink
ing as fast as she was, and raised his
hand. He could not be heard above
the noise of the water rushing in
When he arised his hand all work
of lowering the lifeboats and RATS
ceased and when he lowered his
hand the work went on calmly as be-
fore.
I'VE were bringing back 40 army
men. most OF whom were i'll with
consumption. The hospital corps got
every one in his rubber life suit and
into the lifeboats WITHOUT losing
single man. Twenty-three men and
three officers were lost They were
fouled by wreckage in getting away
from the ship as she went down. or
they didn't get off at all"
Allison said the Abraham Lincoln
went down in Is minutes. The sub
marine did not come to the surface
until the ship went down. The SUB
marine skipper spoke English. Fict-
ures were taken and a lieutenant vas
taken prisoner. The transport gun
crew fired number of shots. althc
they couldn't see the submarine, to-
hearten up and put spirit into the
men.
The crew was assigned TO the
RATS, said Allison All the RATS were
tied to the lifeboats. We drifted Is
miles before being picked up. l my
self was only in the water for 1f
hours"
Allison praised the destroyer crews
They are certainly a fine bunch of
fellows. They brought us coffee and
sandwiches, dry clothes. cigarettes
and tobacco. Everything they had
was ours" They took the crew to
New York where they were given
warm reception. as half OF the crew
was made up of New York men.
There were $40 sailors i'll the crew
of the President Lincoln. 40 officers
and the 40 army men being taken
back. The transport was large one
and was formerly Hamburg-Amer-
lean liner.

CONSCRIPTION LOAFERS.

McAlester News-Capital: Any
body who imagines that the anti
loafing legislation enacted by some
OF the states applies only to no
boes, village idlers and others OF
humble rank will be disillusioned
by a Baltimore instance. In Mary
land, at least, the loafer is held to
be loafer regardless OF his social
status.
A young Baltimore man described
as well known in the social circles
of that aristocratic city has been
fined $50 for failure to keep busy
at some sort OF useful and lawful
work His offense was aggravat-
ed by the fact that he had left a
job provided for him by the state
board which administers the com
pulsory work law. The court was
unmoyed by his plea that the job
was too hard.
The prospect is certainly dismal
for work-shirkers in general. Other
states may soon be following the
example of Maryland, West Virgin
ia and New Jersey. And though the
law is designed primarily as a war
measure, there is no assurance that
any community, once having tast-
ed the satisfaction of driving its
drones to work, will let them quit
their jobs when peace comes. We
may have permanent conscription
of loaferS.

PUZZLING QUESTIONNAIRE.
Uninformed Youth Found 1t Hard
Matter to Follow Directions,
Even When Came to Last.

Washington Star; There is a
great big well OF human interest in
connection with the selective serv-
ice law and its fulfillment which
has, as yet, hardly been tapped.
Consider those 100000 question
naires filled out by the registrants
of the land. What stories of pa
thos, humor and fact are contain
ed in those documents.
1t is only now and then that one
is able to make a slight indenta-
ton and extract a little story from
the great mass OF material.
These things are sacred.
But here is something that hap
pened at local board recently,
when registrants were filling out
their questionnaires.
He was a poor country fellow.
How he got into the city and reg
istered and filled out his question
naire is one matter. What he said
is another.
Yes, just seal it and put in the
mail. The QUESTIONABLE was puz-
zlcr. 1t puzzled many lawyer,
sometimes, if the truth be known
and this country boy did not un-
derstand all Of it, but he did his best
with it, and was anxious that he
should do everything just as Uncle
Sam wanted him to.
After he had answered all the
questions, he turned to the lawyer
who had assisted him and said:
Now is that all | have to do?"
The lawyer said: Yes, that is all
you have to do. Just put it in the
mail box He explained about the
government frank on the return en-
yelope, and how the registrant did
not have to put stamp on it.
The country fellow kept sitting,
and finally said:
"Well, now, is that all | have to
do?"
"Yes, just seal it and put it in
the mail box" the lawyer explained
again.
The registrant still sat.
you say that is all | have to
do?" he said, hesitatingly, at last.
Yes" replied the lawyer, good
humoredly, Lick it, seal up, and
drop it in the mail box. That is
all you have to do"
But the country boy still sat.
After a bit he shifted in his seat,
and said:
well, now, you say all I have
to do is lick it and seal it and put
il in the box"
1t is to the eternal credit of that
lawyer that he never cracked a smile
but encouraged the earnest fellow
who finally went through the door
licking the flap Of the envelope as
he went
