Arrange Water Use
by Amicable Exchange

At the meeting of irrigation COM
panies at Idaho Falls Wednesday,
Engineer D. H. Blossom was .ap-
pointed committeeman of one to ar
range rotation between the local
companies. Two canals were dry
Thursday, the Blackfoot Irrigation
company and the Trego Ditch COM
pany. The latter has been loaned
1000 inches by the Riverside COM
pany. The Blackfoot canal is short
1900 inches and loan of nearly
that amount is expected from the
Danskin, Watson Slough Ditch COM
pany and the Watson Slough Irriga-
ton company and the Parsons Ditch
company. Reservoired water was
turned into the American Falls canal
Wednesday for ten day run. Later
five more days will be had which will
exhaust the 100000 acre feet bought
by that company. In connection
with the loaning or giving Of water
by one company to another, no COM
plications can later follow. A tele-
gram received from special deputy
commission of reclamation Baldwin
of Idaho Falls, states that trans
fers of water authorized as emer-
gency measure account of extreme
drouth will in no way affect rights
in this or other years."

Winner of D. S. G..
Among Home Friends

George Anthony, son of William
Anthony of Kimball returned to his
home this week, after serving his
country so faithfully that General
Pershing put a Distinguished Service
Cross on his tunic to bring home for
keepsake OF the two million men
of : the A. E. F. there were few
enough to receive the D. s. c. to
make it very high honor. To re-
ceive it from the commander in
chief was an added honor. 1t was
presented at divisional review at
COLOMBIA la Belle, south of Toul.
George Anthony was doughboy
runner in the 56th infantry Co. G..
located along the Moselle river on
the St. Mihiel front. He was in
France for over year. He won the
coveted cross by his conspicuous
valor in bearing messages between
his battalion headquarters and the
front line trench systems.
1.-THE general gave us great lit
tie talk when he pinned these things
on u.s. said George Thursday when
he was in Blackfoot with Frank Just.
HE just made us feel good; said
he was in command of an army of
men that didn't need commanding.
He thanked us for what we'd done.
1t made a fellow feel good"
Young Anthony will work with
his father on the farm for the pres
ent, where he feels that his help is
needed.

with his brother Elias Koury and
always contributed to the support of
the family of four children. He
worked in the railroad shops at
Cheyenne, and in the coal mines at
Kemerer. He came to BlackfoOt in
1915 and lived on a farm till May
20, 1918 when he enlisted in the
service of his adopted country.
He applied to the draft board to
take him, long before his draft
number was drawn, and his applica-
tion was granted. He went to
France and was member of COM
pany X 1T infantry; was in the
battle of the Meuse and the Argonne
forest in 1918 and the army of occu-
patton. He was honorably dis
charged from the service on May FL,
1919 and arrived in Blackfoot about
the first of June.
Mr.. KOury was young man OF
peaceable and happy disposition. His
discharge papers from the army show
his character excellent and remark
his honest and faithful service.
A large delegation of Syrians from
different parts of this state, Wyom-
ing and Utah, some of whom were
soldiers, comrades of the deceased
came to attend the funeral.
The Syrians claim, and are justly
proud of the fact that they furnished
a larger percentage of soldiers to
the United States army than any
other nationality, according to popu-
.lation ins this country.

VOTE OF CONFIDENCE GIVEN
AT BLACKFOOT ROAD MEETING
Complaints Made and Answered. Shelley Men
Will Have Meeting Wednesday Evening.
Discord in North End of County
A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE WAS GIVEN

Saturdays road meeting was
marked by small numbers at the be-
ginning, there being only three pres
ent, but they increased in numbers
till there were about forty at the
close.
The meeting was called by Marion
Ginger of Aberdeen, president of the
good roads committee of the Bing-
ham county farm bureau. He indi-
Gated that there were many points
0 fdanger or dissatisfaction about
the way the road work was being
done, and there was talk of asking
the court to issue an injunction to
stop the work.
At the time set for Saturdays
meeting, Mr.. Ginger was not present
nor was there anyone else represent
ing his department. Only three or
four men who had been at the water
meeting that called the road meeting
were present. j. D. Jensen was one
of them, but he had not spoken on
the subject. He was made chairman
o fthe road meeting Saturday, and
presided with ability.
F. A. Seeger made inquiries as to
who was dissatisfied and what was
the matter with road matters. Lee
Meyer of Moreland had heard good
many things and did not know any
thing in particular, but was repeat
ing the hearsay. James Duckworth
suggested putting the commissioners
and superintendent Stone on the
carpet and asking them to explain
what was being done.
Accordingly these four men took
seats in front of the audience and
were informed that there was dis
satisfaction and anxiety, and that
they were being criticised for i'm
porting men to manage the work,
and men and teams to do the work,
and that there were rumors ofAtheiT
buying too much machinery.
Col. Fugate Talks
Col. Fugate said he was the. COM
missioner for the south end of the
county, by choice of the people. He
did not want the job, and tried to
get Marion Ginger to take it.
Ginger was willing, and he, Fugate
filed Clinger's nomination, but
people insisted on having Fugate and
Ginger withdrew.
When this road business came up
Fugate wanted to have foreman tC
look after construction work in each
commissioners district, and he made

choice of M. H.. Christensen, a civil
engineer, the son Of E. C.. Christen-
sen of Shelley, and nephew OF
Commissioner James Christensen,
for his own district, the south end
fthe county. But after they had
made their tour to study roads and
methods of building, the board de-
cided to have a superintendent of
construction fer the whole county,
with foremen in charge of the diff
ferent gangs, and Mr.. Stone of Port
land was recommended as man of
much experience in such work, and
Chairman Bills sent for him to come
to look over the situation with the
board and see if an engagement
could >be made. That resulted in
their hiring Mr.. Stone, and engaging
Milton Christensen as surveyor
Down in the south end of the
county they could scarcely find any
one to furnish teams to start work
on the roads, and Adolph Claassen of
American Falls, former resident
of Aberdeen, applied for work, bid
on a contract, convinced them of his
ability to handle the work, and was
given a contract. He has been push
ing the work diligently, and out of
twenty-one teams working on the
job, seven of them belong in this
county and fourteen in Power
county.
Charlie Stone, a man from Salt
Lake City, wanted a contract, and
got it. He is working three teams;
Stone was a resident of Salt Lake;
he is now resident of this county.
He is doing the work he contracted
to do, and doing it in. the time he
agreed to. AS to buying too much
machinery, they did not think they
had, but they are only human, and
may yet find they had made such a
mistake.
At Springfield the old road wind
ing around the hill and across and
around the lake, is being made

two necks, and the bridge replaced
with a grade. When asked as to the
cost of the work there Col. Fugate
asked Mr.. Stone to explain, and he

Last Reports on the
Water Question

Snake river reaches it's lowest
stage in the natural flow on the
fifteenth of August each year. Then
it remains at about that stage for a
while and begins to increase as the
weather cools or if there is rain in
the mountains coupled with cooler
weather.
The river was unusually low on
the eighth Of August. 1905 and was
dry for few days at Blackfoot. 1t
reached its lowest stage in actual
flow on the eighth that year because
the canals took it ali cut. In the
year 1915 it reached the lowest stage
on the fifteenth of August under
strict regulation of canals.
In the present year it was as low,
on the ninth of July as it was at the
lowest stage of the natural flow in
1915 or 1905, but owing to the
stored water passing down the
channel it did not present the same
appearance. In actual shortage it
reached the same stage of famine
more than a month earlier this year.
