WATER SHORTAGE AND FIRES

The most talked of subject since the
stirring days of prohibition agitation
has been the continued water shortage
and mountina fires resulting from the
prolonged dry spell of the elements.
There has been the fullest cO-Opera-
tion between the farmers using water
from pumping plants and the Idaho
Power company and between city COM
mercial users OF electric power and the
farmers, but that did not fully meet
the requirements.
1t remained for the exertion of her
culean -and costly efforts at the Lower
Salmon Falls plant of the power COM
pany to put the finishing touches on
relief

A oRoUTH RESISTANT CROP

In spite OF the fact that crops of the
neighborhood are suffering from lack
of water, the weed crop along the
main thorofares of Shoshone seems to
be coming along in excellent shape.
1t would be matter of only a few
hours to cut the weeds in the parkings
and along the curbs, thus destroying
the seed crop which will cause a repi-
tition Of the pest next year.

DADDY LONG LEGS" NEWEST
PICkFORD FILM, PROVES HER
OPINION OF SCREEN
ARTISTRY
Motion Picture Version of Famous Jean
Webster Story Is Example of Great
Stars Conception of Film Values.
is T r.

The daily life of scores of orphans
unfortunate enough to be living in an
institution, the founder of which OBJ
tanned his ideas of discipline at a pen
itentiary where he made his money
through convict labor, is shown in de-
tail in Daddy Long Legs" screen ver-
sion of the famous story by Jean Web
sire, in which Mary Pickford win be
seen at THE BAUGH.
This super feature is the first to be
made by Mary PicIford's own COM
pany after Miss Pickford obtained the
screen rights from KIaw and Erlanger
to whom she gave her personal check
for $4,000. Miss Pickford has the part
Of Judy Abbott the little asylum girl
who got her chance to go to college
through the generosity of a man who
later fell in love with her.
Directed by Marshall NeiIan
The picture was directed by Mar
shall Neilan, "The Mark Twain of the
Screen" who became one of the fore-
most directors of the day through his
ability TO put appealing humor into
screen action. Miss Pickford is sup
ported in Daddy Long Legs" by Mr..
Neilan, who has the part of a young
college man in love with Judy; by
Mahlon Hamilton, who has the part of
Jarvis Pendleton, Judys benefactOr;
by Milla Davenport. as the tyrannical
head matron of the asylum; by Fay
Lemport as Angelica Wyckoff, an ill
hammered nttlegirl reared in luxury;
and by one of the most charming |
groups of child actors ever seen on the |
screen, as well as half a dozen other /
adult actors.
The first half of the picture is laid in |
the John Grier Orphan Asylum. Mr.. |
Neilan has filled it with a surprising
succession of humorous and pathetic
incidents. The millions of admirers of
Miss Pickford will agree when they
have seen this picture that the favor
ite star never had a better or more ap-
pealing role than that of the orphan,
Judy Abbott. who, as an infant. is
picked out of an ash can by a police
man. Given a name from a telephone
book by a hard hearted matron; whip
ped, starved. and cruelty treated until
she reaches the age of twelve, when
she begins to spread among the stripe
dressed little motherless babes sun
shine which is later the means of
helping them all to better things.
Portrays Many Emotions
AS a madcap child whose resistless
overcomes even the most
sordid surroundings - girl tasting
eagerly the good things for which she
90 longed in her childhood captivity; q
md at last as a lover, coquettish and
,aprieious, Miss Pickford's character 1
zation is a masterpiece.

NEW REGIME HIGHLY EFFICIENT
State Department of Public Invest
ments is Success

Boise.-'The work of the last six
months in connection with the hand
! ling of the various endowment funds
I their investment and cOIlection-has
1 furnished indubitable evidence of the
wisdom of Governor Dayis's plan of
state government at least in so far as
the Department of Public Investments
is concerned" was the statement of
Commissioner Elmer. Although the
Department has been in existence but
short time. the excess earnings and
collections in connection with endow-
fund investments during the six
month ending June 80, 1919. has been
nearly a quarter of a million dollars
greater than during any six months
period since statehood Stated more
succinctly. If the present rating Of in
crea sed receipts and income shall con-
tinue through the years 1919 and 1920,
this department. through excess in
come over all other biennium periods,
viii he able to pay half the expense Of
the state government during that pc
riod.
The receipts as shown must not be
taken as all income Some of these
funds represent naturalization of the
state landed investment, by reason OF
land sales. The remainder of the re-
ceipts of principal are the repayment
of investments previously made. The
actual earnings of the department are /
represented by the interest collected on
farm loan investments United States, (
State and School bonds, on deferred /
sums still unpaid of the pur-
chase price for state lands sold .
and of the rental moneys received for (
state lands leased. These constitute
what may be termed the income Great
ed by the Department of Public In
vestme1ts.
The income from these sources dur
ngthe two contrasting years, January
to June 80, 1918. and 1919, may be
aiken as fairly indicative of the ad-
received through the state
rom the changed form of state gov
,rnment inaugurated at Governor
Oavis's insisteIce. In this instance
should prove interesting.

CONTINUED INTERFERENCE

The completion of the unit at the
Lower Salmon plant in Hagerman VAL
ley has been repeatedly interfered
with, first by the war and then by
peace labor and material shortage.
There having been no anticipated
water shortage early in the season the
work was continued along normal
lines, but when the shortage for pump
ing systems became apparent. every
consideration of cost and effort was
shelved in the interest of meeting

RUSHED TO COMPLETION

Without regard to expense or labor
the officials of the company devoted
their time almost to the exclusion of
everything else to the completion of
the Lower Salmon unit, and last Fri
day night the juice was turned on
there, furnishing approximately 1000
horse power additional. This, it is stat
ed, will be sufficient to meet this year
all the pumping demands in territory
served directly by the Idaho Power
company.

1t is unofficially announced that a

however. it is learned that plans are
practically completed for this install
lation. which win supply power to
meet all requirements.
