Talks to Secretary Lane.
The governor said he discussed with
Secretary Lane when in Washington
several months ago the feasibility OF
allowing a Carey act company to re-
claim the land in the Bruneau project
and that he has talked the matter
over since then with officials in the
department of the interior and the re-
clamation service at Washington.
w. G. %Swendsen, commissioner Of
reclamation, reported to the governor
three days ago on the feasibility of
diverting the waters of the Yellow
stone lake into the Snake river for
irrigation purposes. The governor adj
mitted Saturday that it vas with a
view OF using the waters of the yell
lowstone on the Bruneau project that
he asked Mr.. Swendsen to conduct an
investigation.
No Financial Interest.
Governor Davis denied emphatical-
ly that he was interested financially
in the Owyhee county lands.
/. b. Perrine of Twin Falls, who
promoted the Twin Falls South Side
project some years ago, is interested
in the Bruneau project. He filed on
1 800, 900 acre feet of water in the
American Falls reservoir three weeks
ago. At that time he filed maps with
the state department of reclamation
showing contours on the Bruneau
| project and the surveys for canals and
laterals. II is presumed that he acted
with the knowledge and consent of
Mr.. Meredith.
The 0wyhee county land which It
Is proposed to water stretches from
the Snake river on the east to Little
Valley creek. a few miles west of the
Bruneau river, and south from the
Snake for a distance OF 80 miles. They
embrace one OF the largest irrigation
projects in the world, and when re-
claimed and watered will contain more
irrigated lands than are nov watered
in Ada. Canyon and Payette coun-
ties.

DiSGRACEFUL.

The record OF attendance in the
schools Of Power county last year was
a disgrace TO any self respecting COM
munity. Fifty per cent Of the pupils
attending school in the county last
year lost a grade due TO irregular at
tendance. Compared to good roads
reclamation and stock husbandry the
schooling of our children Is para
mount. The arm Of the law should
drop heavily on any parent who Is
lax concerning the education Of his
children.

favor the bond issue. Many of the
votes were cast against the bonds on
the basis of misinformation to the eff

Hot Fight in Falls.
A heated election was held in Am

were solidly for the bonds, the count

BOY SCOUTS SAVE cRAcoW.

The thrilling story of how the boy
scouts of Cracow saved their city,
Poland's most ancient and noblest CEN
ter, was made public in Washington
by Polish agents.
Although the famous boy scout
movement brought invaluable aid to
the allies, particularly in England, the
records of the international organiza-
ton bear no brighter or more courage
Gus example of heroism than that of
the Polish boys who shouldered rifles
and guarded the ancient hearths of
their fathers.
When the Austrian empire fell, the
Austrian officials and soldiers in era
COW vanished at once. The city was
left without leadership.
1t was then that two scoutmasters,
trained as officers, rallied the boy
scouts. They were assigned to fixed
posts and within a few hours were po-
licing the city with a military preci
sion and dash that soon checked all
efforts at looting and lawlessness.
The boys guarded the public build
ings, military depots and other points
including stores Of high explosives
which were sufficient to have wrecked
the city should they have fallen into
the hands of the reds.

SCOUTS
CALL FOR SOLDIER LEADERS

Recognizing in tho program of the
Boy Scouts of America n of the
greatest movements toward the max"
ing of good citizens. and training SOL
diers In their fundamental require
ments, the war department of the
United States has issued an official
circular designed to assist in the pres
ent nationwide campaign to ecure a
large number of new scout leaders.
The circular is signed by Gen. Pey-
ton c. March, chief of staff, by order
of Secretary of Wal Baker, and car
ries the official stamp cf Ad1T. Gen
p. G. Harris.
This lis the highest official honor
paid the Boy Scouts since congress
granted the organization a federal
charter on June 10, 1916, and in the
same month, under section 125 of the
army reorganization law, the Boy
Scouts of America were given permits
sion to wear uniforms similar to those
worn by the men of the United States
army.
The circular reads as follows:
"SCOUTMASTERS FOR THE
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA:
"a request has been received by the
war department from the chief of the
Boy Scouts of America for assistance
in the matter of obtaining the serv-
Ices of officers and enlisted men re-
turning from overseas as scoutmas-
tiers.
'rThe attention of returning army
officers and enlisted men who have
the necessary qualifications is direct
ed TO the opportunity which the boy
scouts affords for them to further
serve their country after discharge.
'TThe war department is in full ac-
cord with the purposes of this move
ment and desires to assist. 1t is felt
that the cooperation of a large num-
Der of officers and enlisted men who
have seen service In France will in
spire the boys with patriotism and a
spirit of devotion to their country as
nothing else can do.
'"This circular will be brought to the
attention of officers and men at de
mobilization camps"

trict Nos. &c and 10 because Of il
legal votes cast at the election. The
election carried by a vote of four
teen to thirteen. Two of the voters
were found by Judge Good, to have
voted without authority. They claim
ed the right to vote because they had
personal property in the district on
Apsil l. although it had not been
assessed The law provides that
person must have been assessed at
the last annual assessment in order
to vote at school election accord

RAILROADS SHOW
BIG INCREASE IN
TOTAL OF DEFICIT
Hines Declares Conditions Toe
Unsettled to Consider
Advance in Rates.

Washington, June 6.-Director
General Hines estimated that the
railroad administration incurred a
deficit of approximately $5S,000,009
in April, making a total deficit of
$3.50, 100000 for the first four months
Of this year.
The director general reiterated
his previously expressed Judgment
that present economic conditions
were too unsettled to afford a safe
basis for decision as to the neces-
sity for increased rates to offset TIE
difference between income and oper-
ating cost.
The net operating income for
April was about $26,000,000, as COM
pared with 81 100000 for April Of
last year, and an average of $67,
l02,o8l for April during the three
years test period, on which the
compensation to the roads is based
