Roosevelt Coin
New Movement

New York, Nov. 20.-As a nation
ar%ribute to the memory of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, the reissue of q
cent coin bearing his likeness will be
urged upon congress by the Woman's
Roosevelt Memorial association.
The following resolution, adopted
at a public meeting addressed by
Major-G General Leonard Wood, was
forwarded today from the national
headquarters, East Fifty-seventh
street, New York City, to all state
chairmen for immediate indorse-
ment:
"Wheseas, it has been the GUS
tom from time immemorial among
all races of men to issue coins and
medallions to commemorate the
greatest events and the greatest men
in their history, in recognition of the
fact that they have become part
of the common heritage of the race,
and in token of their imperishable
renown; and
Whereas, the memory of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, like that of Abraham
Lincoln, is enshrined forever in the
hearts alike of the greatest and the
humblest in this land; therefore, be
it
Resolved, That this meeting re-
quest the congress of the United
States to authorize the issue Of a
2-cent coin bearing the medallion of
Theodore Roosevelt and the dates of
his birth and DEATH"
Mrs. John Henry Hammond, presi-
dent of the Woman's Roosevelt Me-
mortal association, has appointed a
special committee to effect national
consideration of this resolution, in
cooperation with those firms and
corporations which, it is believed,
feel the need for a 2-cent coin to
provide for postwar taxes on petty
luxuries and household commodities.
Congress will be informed that the
new coin is in demand to meet the
unusual situation created by the
present grade Of prices.
The Women's Roosevelt Memorial
association was organized few days
after Colonel Roosevelt died, to raise
81, 100000 for the restoration and
perpetuation of his birthplace at 28
East Twentieth street, New York
City, and the adjoining property; un-
der the name of Roosevelt house.
It is proposed to make this build
ing a living memorial to the prin-
ciples of Americanism for which
Theodore Roosevelt stood. Both
the birthplace site and the adjoin-
ing property have been acquired by
the association and work will be
started shortly on restoring the
birthplace exactly as It looked in
1858, when Colonel Roosevelt was
born.

Mrs. Dubois
Guest of Royalty

Mrs. Fred T. Dubois, who has
been spending few days in Black
foot visiting friends, was guest
at a reception given recently at
Washington, D. C. by the king and
queen of the Belgians to honor
American women, who had helped
in various ways the allies win the
war.
Mrs. Herbert Hoover, of Cali
fornia, was the only other western
woman to be included in the recep-
ton list. Invitations were signed
by the king and queet.
Mrs. Dubois recognition came
thru her work in helping the gov
ernment to organize the food ad-
ministration. During the years 1917
and 1918 when the campaign for in
creased production was being started
Mrs. Dubois was asked by the secre-
tary of agriculture to make an ap-
peal to western farmers and their
wives for greater production OF
pork. She was the only woman in
the field speaking on the same sub
ject.
The splendid energy which Mrs.
Dubois put into her war work while
the outcome was in balance she has
since the armistice devoted to help
ing solve reconstruction problems,
working especially among the
several hundred wounded and sick
soldiers at the Walter Reed hospital
at Washington, D. G.
Mrs. Dubois has gone to Twin
Falls to spend two weeks visiting at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles A.
Hart.

Mill Grain Storage
Elevator Collapsed
Thousands of Bushels of Wheat
Poured Out. Adjacent Buildings
Damaged by Bricks and Grain
NO LOSS OF LIFE SUSTAINED

At about 12:4O Tuesday the CEN
trail part of town was rocked by a
heavy concussion when the brick
wheat bin at the rear of the Black
foot Farmers Milling company col
lapsed and spilled it's contents over
the ground. 1t is estimated that the
bin held about $500 bushels of wheat
at the time, and more wheat was
being shoveled in from another bin
to make room for hard wheat COM
ing in.
Men were working in the bin be-
fore noon but had left at twelve
O'Clock for dinner, probably saving
loss of life.
The weight Of the falling wheat
and bricks cayed in the rear end of
the Blackfoot meat market and the
Blackfoot plumbing company. A
small tin shack at the rear of the
ElkhOrn creamery station used for
housing poultry was also damaged.
At the Blackfoot market probably
the most serious harm was done next
to that at the mill. The ice box
" 40 oihooliCu anu q OIL CuAl VI AOuI
had penetrated nearly to the middle
of the front room. Quite a bit of
meat was in the ice box at the time
and about 80 geese, 40 turkeys, and
200 chickens are buried under the
pile of debris, and they are total
loss. At the plumbing company it
was at first thought that one of the
men was trapped Under the pile,
which completely filled the rear Of
the store, but he later appeared.
This is the second time this struc-
ture has given way, the other time
being about two years ago when the
rear end fell out but caused very
little damage at that time outside
of the bin. The structure was later
built up stronger but, it now appears.
not quite strong enough yet.
A total estimate as to the damage
cannot as yet be figured but it will
run up rather high as good part
of the grain is loss.

PROFITABLE WATER MEETING AT IDAHO
FALLS FOLLOWING SALT LAKE MEETING
Distinguished Men Spoke ON Storage and
Irrigation. Explained Plans for the
Vast Snake River Valley
BIG CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM OUTLINED

, men chiefly from the Snake river
valley and practically all interested
in irrigation. They were all i'm
mensely interested in the subject and
the session lasted from 10 O'Clock
until little after 2, without inter
mission. Because some, of the speak
ers had to leave on the 3 O'Clock
train the meeting was continued so
all subjects might be finished.
Judge J. H. Richards, one of the
eminent constitutional lawyers of the
northwest, a man who has drafted
the legal documents for many of the
large business organizations of
Idaho, was one of the speakers, and
he explained the moves that have al
ready been made looking to the .or-
ganiZation of forces for the storage
of all the waste waters of the Snake
river drainage basin and making it
possible to reclaim all the waste
lands that are susceptible of irriga-
tion. The particular subjects he
dealt with are entirely local to Idaho
and a small territory in Wyoming
lying south of the Yellowstone park.
The men interested in this organ
lzation, which we shall describe, and
which as yet has not been named,
have undertaken to combine the diff
ferent projects in Idaho and to har-
ness their energies and resources SO
all of them shall have all the water
they need and so they shall not be
working in conflict with one another.
This committee shall be spoken Of
for the present as the Idaho Recla-
nation Committee It's member
ship is made up of Judge ]. H. Rich
ards, of Boise; e. T. Meredith, Des
Moipes, Iowa; vice president; G. c..
loore of St. Anthony, Secretary; e.
H. Dewey of Nampa; L. B. Perrine
of. Twin Falls, general manager;
Clellan Mckenzie of Chicago, general
COUNSEL; H. l.. Hollister Of Chicago
member of the board and H. R. s..
Bicknell of Boise, chief engineer.
These men are acting as trustees
for public good and their work is to
assemble information afforded by
surveyors, and statistics, to find cap
ital to pay the cost of construction
of the storage facilities and canals
for distribution of the water and to
get the United States government to
AXE charge of construction and
handle the sale of lands, to settlers
This organization is not corpora
tion, not company, but merely
trustees in trust for the public. The
service of the storage facilities and
the chief means of distribution have
already been made by different in
terests and the government thru the
reclamation department and these
plans have all been presented to
eastern capitalists who have pledged
enough of their fortunes to guaran-
tee the construction work for the
American Falls reservoir, and some
other construction connected with
the chief reservoir sites and canals
constituting the main links in the
system.

Nations Crops
Are Only Fair
Below Average Of Last Ten Years
Reduction in Food Price Is
Not to be Expected
SUMMERS DROUTH INTERFERED

There is little in the crop situation
this year to indicate that any sharp
reduction in the price of food is to
be expected. According to the U. s..
bureau of crop estimates, the yield
per acre of all crops of the country
combined is below the average of the
last ten years by fraction Of one
per cent. In New York and other
northeastern states down to, south
ern Pennsylvania and Ohio crops
yielded a little better than usual.
The same was true in the group of
states west of the Mississippi, from
northern Iowa and Nebraska south
to Texas and Arizona. Oklahoma
has been particularly fortunate for
good rains there caused crops to be
40 per cent better than usual.
The northwestern states have not
Jared so well this season. Except
ing Wisconsin, practically all the
north central and northwestern
states west of Ohio have suffered
more or less severely, and in Mon
tana where the drouth was extreme
the yields were only 40 per cent of
the average. In Louisiana and in
the cotton states east of the Mississ-
ippi river yields have been lower
than usual by from 4 o18 per cent,
but as the farmers are receiving SEC
per pound for cotton instead of 12c
the average price before the war,
they have little reason to complain.
The yields per acre of hay, corn,
buckwheat, beans, rice and sweet
potatoes have been from Z to IA per
cent above usual expectations, and
wheat, oats, barley, rvs, white po-
tatoes, cotton and tobacco were from
9 to 20 per cent below par.

Grand Total ,625
While the above applications are
entirely informal and subject to
change after further Investigations
and studies, they represent fairly
closely the immediate demand for
storage for present projects.
In addition to the above, informal
requests were made in behalf of the
Blackfoot East Bench for $4,000
acre-feet, the Idaho Falls West
Bench for 25O,000 arce-feet or more,
and the Hillsdale Irrigation District
for $4,000 acre-feet.
Medium for Handling Work
Applicants for over 80 per cent
of the storage expressed a. prefer
ence for having the work handled by
the U. S. Reclamation Service, it be-
ing the plan that each organization
should raise its own funds and enter
into a contract with the Reclama-
tion Service for whatever storage it
should need.
Ultimate 4-lan for Storage
In the opinion of the committee,
the following reservoirs should be
ultimately constructed to take cake
Of the irrigation requirements of the
entire Snake River Valley:
Jockson Lake Reservoir.
Henry Lake Reservoir.
Fall River Meadows Reservoir.
island Park Reservoir.
American Falls Reservoir.
The Jackson Lake reservoir Is at
present constructed to a capacity of
SAT 900 acre-feet of which 100000
acre-feet have been acquired by or
ganizations in the Upper Valley. II
the present storage requirements OF
the Upper Valley, amounting to
345,O00 acre-feet, were obtained in
Jackson Lake, there would still re-
main 100000 acre-feet that could
eventually be applied to new lands
supplied from the Snake River or its
South Fork.
