MEETING OF GOVERNORS
viii Take Up With IdahO's Congress
siOnal Delegation the Irrigation and
Other Development Problems.

GovernOr-elect D. W Davis has re-
ceived an invitation TO attend the
meeting Of governors and governors
elect 10 be held at or near Washing
ton. D. c.. December 16-1S The in
vitatiOn came by wire from VI. c. Riley
secretary Of the governors confer
ence. Members OF the cabinet will
discuss national problems and the
! governors and governors-elect state
problems of development and recon
struction.
Mr. Davis wired his acceptance Of
/ the invitation and plans 10 leave about
tie 10th Of December. which will give
/ him a couple OF days 10 discuss with
/ Idahos congressional delegation ir-
rigation problems in which Idaho is
! interested.
Two irrigation problems which
promise to come TO the front in the
/ coming months are the big Bruneau
project and the Fort Hall project. The
people Of Power county are vitality in
terested in both Of these.
The Bruneau project is coming TO
life as one OF the proposed means Of
supplying our returning soldiers with
labor, and later with homes This
project contemplates the irrigation
of about 500 900 acres in Owyhee
county. west OF Twin Falls. and using
the Twin Falls canal system. after
enlargement, 10 carry the water TO the
\ land. The storage reservoir for this
project is to be at American Falls.
In connection with il a mammoth
power development is among the pos
sible features. One of the plans for
q. t.
sidered is the driving of a tunnel
from American Falls 10 the City Of
Rocks. about twelve miles down the
river, the tunnel TO be large enough
70 carry the normal flow of the river.
The advantage of this plan is said
10 be that twice the power can be de-
velOped that would be possible with
/, plants located here II this is done
/, there Will be ample power TO pump
water TO the dry farm lands near
. American Falls.
. The Fort Hall project contemplates
the extension OF the Fort Hall canal
. across the Portneuf watering the
. lands between POcatello and Ameri-
) can Falls. and south of town as far
; as Neeley Practically all the data
; for these projects has been secured
; and the coming congress is expected
. tO give close consideration TO them.
Another irrigation project which i:
attracting considerable attention is
the long contemplated pumping pro
L ject in connection with the presen

President Wilson has accepted his
resignation. Mr. McAdoo Will give up
the treasuary portfolio as soon as a
successor has been selected He wish
ed 10 lay down his work as director
general Of railroads by January l. but
will remain if the president has not
then chosen a successor.
Upon the new secretary Of the treas

the task Of financing the nation
through the transition period of war
70 peace. which probably will include
a. least two more liberty loans and
possibly also a further revision Of the
system OF war taxation.
Letters between President Wilson
and Mr. McAdOo. made public Satur-
day with the announcement Of the
resi- ignatiOn give Mr. McAdOo's rea-
sons for leaving the cabinet solely as
a necessity for replenishing his per-
s0nal fortune and express the presi-
dents deep regret at losing his SON

Politicians profess 10 see in the IN
expected resignation a desire 10 avoid

BAD FLU CASES

AS a rule the bad flu cases
develop from mild ones, from
lack of precautions. There
have been many relapses fol-
lowing a too-early getting out
of bed. The victims of an
apparently mild form of the
disease feel fine. and do not
realize the risk they take by
getting up and attempting to
attend to business too soon.
Look out for people who get
up on the third day" said one
of the local physicians. They
may need an undertaken soon
afterward."
Other severe cases result
from the victims not giving up
soon enough. They're not sick,
of course not; just have lit
tie cold, which will soon pass
away. Result, a severe case
nearly always, and not infre-
quently ending in death.
The safe way is to go to bed
when the first symptoms ap-
pear, and send for a doctor.
1t may be only a cold, but it
is too serious a matter to take
: chances. Once in bed, stay
: there until the doctor says to
; get up. This is usually two
; days or more after the victim
: feels fit. Better to go to bed
, on a suspicion of being sick
; than to have a funeral. Most
people who have the flu don't
think they have it until they
are too sick to think at all
Safety first is the correct prin-
ciple.

STILL UNSOLVED

The body of the man thou mt to
be Robert Burns had not been iden-
titled at l o'clock oday although the
wires in the entire southwest have
been flooded with messages in an
attempt to identify the man.
That the man is Robert Burns and
is from Nara, Vista, New Mexico,
near Tecucara, is the belief of Ho-
sea Halye, deputy sheriff, who knew
a Burns family in New Mexico Al
though it has been many years since
Mr.. Haley has seen Robert Burns,
of that city, he believes he is the
man killed in the Frisco mishap,

pleted, Mr.. Schow, proprieor of the
