PRAISE GRAT|F|ES
W|N-THE-WARA AIDS
Presidents Words Taken as
Deserved Tribute to Un-
tiring Efforts.


Thousands of war workers from all
sections of the country who for the
last eighteen months have been in
Washington helping win the war, -
some Of them serving the government
for dollar a year, found particular
qualification in the reference by the
President in his address yesterday to
Congress to the part played by the
civilian war agencies toward mobiliz-
ing the nation for war.
Never BEFORE" the President said,
have there been agencies in exist
ence in this country which knew so
much of the field of supply. of la abor
and of industry as the War Industries
Board, the War Trade Board, the La
Dor Department, the food administra-
ton and the fuel administration have
known since their labors became thor
oughly systema tized: and they have
not been isolated agencies; they have
been directed by men who represented
the permanent department of the gov
ernment and so have been the centers
of unified ana cooperative action
This was taken by the heads of
those agencies, not alone as recogni-
tion of their work, but also as de-
and sacrifices of the working force.
Many of the Presidents advisers,
including Chairman Baruch of the
War Industries Board, who have had
to do with Harvesting the Industries
Of the country to the war machine,
are understood to believe the indus
tries will be back on normal basis,
through efforts of the Industrial lead
ers, long before Congress could agree
on a definite reconstruction plan The
Presidents attitude as expressed yes
terday was considered by the heads
of the war agencies as an acceptance
of their view and an implied disap-
proval of congressional action.

Says Needs Undetermined.

'"rhe District engineer (Col. W. l..
Fisk, L. S. a., retired1 points out. says
Gen. Black, ''the impossibility of deter
mining in advance the needs of the Dis
trict without records as to the consump-
tion of water in federal buildings, and
also the difficulty of fixing the responsi-
bility for the waste Of water where large
consumers have wholly unmeasured
pletely metering all government services
Is $4,000, and the District engineer
earnestly recommends the appropriation
of this entire amount at one time to be
available till expended. In this recon-
rnendation the chief Of engineers con-
curs.''
The report shows that the govern
ment printing Office uses an average
of 2,572. 100 gallons of filtered water
suggests various ways for remedying
that condition. One Of these sugges-
tions is that the big printing estab-
lishment be furnished with power from
the central power plant south Of the
Capitol, which will use river water
for condensing.
ANY one Of thsse measures" says
Gen. Black, would apparently reduce
the consumption to a maximum Of
about $4,000 gallons per day. The
cost of the water saved at SIS cents
per 1000 gallons would be s108.69 per
day. or s39,672 per year, and in addi-
tion the District Of Columbia would
be saved it's present heavy expense for
pumping condensing water through
the sewers
OF the total expenditures on the
entire system to June 80, 1918, amount
ing to $14,O4s,72O, the chief of engi-
neers says the United States paid
IS, 750.420. the District OF Columbia
s4,940,115 and the water department
of the District $253,185.
Estimates are made for the fiscal
years 1919 and 1920. These include
for operation for 1919, $2O5,OOO, in
cluding $4,000 for guards, and for
1920, s223,000; for ordinary repairs,
$4,000 for each year; for emergencies,
$4,000 for each year, and for improve
ments at Mcmillan Park. $4,000 for
each year
In making these estimates Gen.
Black adds the somewhat significant
remark that nothing herein shall be
construed as affecting the .superin-
tendence and control Of the Secretary
Of War over the Washington Aqueduct,
Its rights, appurtenances, and fixtures
connected with the same. and over ap-
preparations and expenditures therefor
as now provided by law"

CONSERVE WATER,
GEN. BLACK URGES
Chief of Engineers Makes No
Reference to Extension of
System Here.

Although Gen. Black. chief of engi-
neers. in his annual report to Congress.
urges conservation of the water supply
of the District, he makes no references
to the apparent necessity for extending
the system to meet increased demands.
The safe daily capacity of the system
is considered to be 65,000.000 gallons.
The maximum capacity Of the conduit is
estimated at 75,0O0,00O gallons and OF
the filtration plant at 80. O.oo0, 900 gallons.
Gen. Black says the average daily con-
sumption last year was 62.67O.O00 gal
Ions, making the average per capita con-
sumption 1873 gallons per day. The puri-
fication of the water, he says, was very
satisfactory, the average turbidity was
reduced from 291 to 0 and the bacterial
content from 4,450 to IL per cent cubic

rnn RnruRlloAN CANDIDATE.

At the state platform convention
held at Boise discussion OF available
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for governor naturally arose.
There we're present at the convention
leading men from every section Of
the state The gathering was prob
ably as representative as any held in
recent years. It was noticeable that
there was O unanimity OF sentiment
In respect OF the man who should
head the Republican state ticket.
Hon. ID. w. Davis Of American Falls
was the only man seriously mention
I'd BIZ any one. Other favorite sons
naturally had their admirers and
supporters but even these conceded
the fact that Mr.. Davis was the one
logical candidate.
IN the face Of tremendous odds Mr..
Davis made d great fight two years
ago. There are those today who
think that he was really elected. He
came 30 close that his strength was
demonstrated beyond doubt. When
d man can cut majority for presi-
dent Of 5000 down to majority OF
500 for the candidate for governor
he has developed strength.
During the past year Mr.. Davis has
grown In the good opinion Of the peo-
pie OF Idaho. VIZ believe That he has
grown mentally snd morally too. a
growing man Is NE kind of q man
to tie 10. During the year past he
has conducted three great Liberty
Loan drives. Every campaign was 9
great success. In conducting the
Liberty Loan campaigns Mr.. Davis
was brought into close touch with ev-
cry section of the state. He grew to
know the people OF Idaho and they
grew to know him. The people found
man placed under a heavy respons-
Utility and In q position demanding
the utmost tact and ability. He ae-
complished IL with apparent ease. He
showed that, II called upon, he could
do greater things. He demonstrated
great leadership and executive abiI-
ity.
In view Of the record made as a
campaigner, and the altogether diff
fersnt record made In position de-
manding executive ability: Mr.. Davis
Immediately becomes available AZ the
4 one commanding figure In Idaho for
the governorship, AS a Republican
he stands pre-eminent. This fact was
recognized by Republicans from ali
parts OF the state at the state plat
form convention. Caldwell Tribune
