|FOR RECLAMATION
OF WESTERN LANDS
HI. w. CANFIELD, REPRESENTA-
TIVE-ELECT, GIVES INTER
VIEW AT PALOUSE

Hon. H. W. Garfield of Harvard
representative from Latah coun-
ty, was in Palouse Wednesday on his
way home from Moscow, where he
had attended a gathering of the Latah
county members of the legislature
and of the newly elected county Of
ficers, all of whom are republicans.
The Idaho legislature will be strongly
republican and the session promises
to be a busy one, many matters of
importance to the young western state
being on the tapis. Chief among
these, in Mr.. Canfield's mind, is ac-
ton looking to the reclamation of the
vast area of land in south Idaho which
only awaits the coming of water to
make it blossom like the rose, and
WELD bountifully of the necessities of
life. land of thousands of acres in
north Idaho which can only be made
productive by darinage. By reclaim
ing these lands, Mr.. Garfield believes,
thousands of people will be induced to
come to Idaho to build up homes, and
these people and the entire state Will
benefit.
Mr.. Garfield is nothing if not patrl-
otic. and is in favor of the state gong
the limit in the matter Of erecting,
monument to the memory OF the Idaho
bows who gave their lives for the
cause of liberty in the fight against
Hun domination Of the world.
Idaho has found that her direct prl-
mary law fails to function just ac-
cording to her liking, and there IS
probability that there may be some
tinkering with that piece of former
legislation, which has proven to be
SO easily available for the, purpose
Of the non-partisan league, which took
over the democratic organization and
name this year, nominating league
candidates on the democratic ticket.
Mr.. Garfield did not suggest what
he thought would happen to the direct
primary lay, but he expressed salts
faction at what had happened to the
non-partisan league in Idaho at the
general election, and expressed the
hope that it was through in Idaho
without having to be shown again

GENESEE HARD HIT
BY THE INFLUENZA
FIVE DEATHS IN ONE WEEK
AND 200 CASES-DOCTORS
AND NURSES NEEDED

The influenza situation has become
critical and new cases are being re-
ported daily. 1t has been estimated
that there is probably as high as 200
cases in the community. Dr.. c. F..
Tuomy is the only available doctor in
the community as DR.. w. H. Ehlen
still remains too i'll to make any calls.
Dr. Gritman of Moscow and DR..
White Of Lewiston have been in the
territory several times and have visit
ed some of the more serious cases.
Up to Wednesday Of this week there
have been four deaths Of pneumonia,
following influenza, Raymond Roster,
Carl Baumgartner and Mr.. and Mrs.
George Johann, having succumbed.
The new cases reported since last
week include Mrs. C. P. Whalen and
little daughter, Marie. The latter is
critically i'll and Dr. White of Lewis
ton has been here to see her but her
condition remained grave up until
Wednesday noon, when it was thought
there was some improvement.
George Ebel is critically i'll of pneu-
monia.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Blume are
both still very i'll and Mr.. Blume
especially shows little improvement.
Mrs. Fred Bershaw has about re-
covered. Mr.. Bershaw is improving
again after having a severe relapse
the latter part of last week.
All of the Genesee teachers, except
Miss Black and Miss Brown, are down
with the disease. They are acting as
nurses for the others as well as rem
dering valuable help to other stricken
families. Miss Davis, whose sister is
here caring for her, is improving
slowly. Misses Henkins, Burke,
Bracken and Walker are recovering
nicely. Prof. G. E. Sunderlin is able
to be about the house again, but Mrs.
Sunderlin has been very i'll and her
improvement is slow.
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Arthur and
children have all been stricken but
are doing nicely.-Genesee News.
Since the News was published
George Ebel has died and it is thought
there are several others who cannot
recover. The situation there is re-
garded as critical. Genesee raised
the quarantine, opened schools, had
big party and dance and the second
wave Of influenza resulted

FORMER COMMANDANT
CITED FOR BRAVERY
COLONEL CUMMINGS, WHO PRE-
CEDED CAPTAIN FELKER
HERE, is HONORED

The distinguished service cross has
been awarded to Colonel A. D. Cum
mings, formerly commandant at the
University of Idaho, who went from
here to Vancouver barracks and has
been serving with the American army
in Europe. The Army and Navy
Journal contains the following account
of the honor conferred on Colonel
Cummings, who was major when
he left Moscow but has been pro-
NOTED since leaving here. The Army
& Navy Journal report follows:
"For extraordinary heroism in ac-
ton near Gesnes, France, September
20, 1918. During the attacks on Ges-
mes Col. Cummings, then lieutenant
colonel, in addition to performing his
regular duties as brigade adjutant,
181st brigade, went forward with the
front line of attack, directing the or
ganization and outposting of the front
line. After Gesnes and the army OBJ
jective beyond it had been captured,
all of the senior officers of the as
saulting regiment having been killed
or wounded in the attacks on Gesnes,
Col Cummings unhesitatingly organiz-
ed the scattered elements of the regi-
ment and pushed the attack home to
final success.
"The commander in chief, in the
name of the president, has awarded
the distinguished service cross to Col.
Cummings"

PALOUSE PROJECT
IS BEING REVIVED
PLAN TO TAKE WATER FROM
PALOUSE RIVER TO IRRIGATE
LAND IN WASHINGTON

1t seems now that the Palouse pro-
iect, for which hard fight was made
some six years ago by Whitman and
Franklin county people, while people
living along the upper Palouse river,
from this place east, were just as
strongly opposed, will not down, and
is likely to break out again in an
aggravated form 1t is understood
that congress will be asked to put
the project through according to the
plans of the government engineers,
which call for series of dams on
the Palouse river, beginning, if we
remember right, we'll up toward the
'headwaters of the stream. The sur
vey for reservoir sites was made in
1912 by government engineers, and
the report made, after which the mat
ter was dropped.
1t is understood, according to Colfax
papers, that meeting will be held at
Co1fax shortly for the purpose of
boosting the Palouse project. If the
original plans are carried out, while
it will result in reclaiming some arid
land in the Pasco district, it will also,
if many persons have not sized the
situation up wrongly, result in thous-
ands of acres of up-river bottom land
being covered with water, and other
thousands of acres rendered worthless
because of being isolated. Palouse

CHRISTMAS SERVICES IN
4 LOCAL CHURCHES TOMORROW

All of the churches Of Moscow will
have special Christmas features in
their services tomorrow Sunday
and the services should have good
attendance. The quarantine regula-
tions forbidding children to attend
public meetings makes the Christmas
trees in Moscow out of place this
Christmas and there will be no trees.
These features are for the children
and without their presence there
would not be much of the Christmas
spirit in the entertainments, so they
will be abandoned. Every church in
Moscow is preparing a special Christ
mas program with fine music for the
services tomorrow. The announce
ments will be found in the column
devoted to churches in this issue.

Latah county. If it is put into effect
it will mean a series of dams and
reservoirs in the Palouse river in the
northern part of this county, where
the waters of the winter and spring
will be stored to be taken as needed
in the dry season to irrigate lands IN
Whitman and Franklin counties,
Washington. The survey as made
several years ago by the government
reclamation service and was pro
nounced feasible, but expensive. 1t
provides for large reservoirs formed
by damming the Palouse river at sew
eral points where the canyon is nar>
row. This plan would convert several
large lakes and overflow quite large
areas of Latah county land that IS
fine for meadow and would require
the building of new roads further
back from the river to reach the
country near the headwaters of the
Palouse and the Hoodoo mining dis
trict.
The plan provides for the building
of these dams and construction of
these reservoirs in Latah county and
at least two large reservoirs or lakes
in Washington, one in Whitman coun-
ty, in the vicinity Of Winona and the
other in the Washtucna region. This
would necessitate the moving of the
tracks of the O.-W. R. & N. railroad
which runs through this proposed res
ervoir site for several miles. The
plan, if carried out successfully,
might be highly beneficial to Whit
man and Franklin counties, in Wash
ington, but it would take quite a large
area of valuable meadow land off the
tax rolls of Latah county.
If the plan proposed by Governor
Lister, of Washington, to take water
from Lake Pend d'Oreille and irrigate
100000 acres in Washington is ad-
opted and put into execution, it would |
furnish water to irrigate much of the |
