the assembly, spoke as follows: 1T

English for ten years l find myself
wearing a hat made by the white
man, and shoes made by the white

to be easier to dress like the whites
than in what we make ourselves.
Most of our food is of the white
mans make. Our bread, our fruits
and nearly everything is the civilized
food. But there is one thing where
we are on a level. I cultivate an
acre of land in crops, the white man
cultivates his acre; the Great Spirit
fails to send enough snow in winter
to feed the streams in summer, and
my water for irrigating fails me and
my crop fails too. The white mans
water fails at the same time and
his crops fail him. approve of what

Water Shortage
Is Very Serious

POCATELLO, Idaho, June 30
That the water situation in Idaho Is
acute is the substance of report
made by the commissioner of re-
clamation of this state, w. G.. Swend-
son, upon his return to the state
capital after an inspection trip thru
southeastern Idaho and the upper
Snake river region. A light snowfall
last winter in the mountains above
Jackson Lake reservoir, in Wyoming,
las brought the farmers of the Twin
Fails section and the upper Snake
river ALLEY face to face with the
digest season in thirty years, says
the commissioner. The shortage of
water also threatens crop losses on
all the irrigation projects in south
eastern Idaho. Just how serious the
loss will be lisa matter that cannot
yet be determined, according to the
irrigation expert.
Investigations carried on by the
reclamation department of the state
also show that the water shortage is
general and the shortage described
as acute on the Big Lost river, Bear
river, Salmon river, Wood river, as
well as Snake river and other big
streams.
Snake River is Low
Perhaps the best idea of the situa-
ton confronting Idaho farmers this
season can be gained by the following
statement of the reclamation COM
missioner:
while the Snake river should be
in flood stage now, it is actually
son of the year. In the thirty years
record kept of the flow of that
stream, there has not occurred such
a shortage of water
According to report, no water has
passed over the Miner dam in the
past sixty days, and campaign for
conservative use Of water in the
Twin Falls tract is now being under
taken by the reclamation department.
The Minidoka project will probably
suffer less than some of the other
projects in the Twin Falls section,
inasmuch as it has priority right to
storage waters in the Jackson Lake
reservoir, which will enable farmers
Ou tuC MluluOhd PlOJCSI W GU Wo1OA
after the shortage is felt on the
balance of the Twin Falls district,
known as the Carey act project.
Lack Irrigation Water
While the Twin Falls section is
threatened with a great decrease in
available water, portions of the upper
Snake river valley are actually
threatened with a complete shutoff
of irrigation water, due to the situa-
ton, because the lower projects have
priority rights, and according to the
reclamation commissioner, already
a large number of water rights have
been shut off in the Idaho Falls dis
trict. 1t is stated that 1900 water
rights have been shut off, which
means that those farmers will not
be able to get any more water this
season, and as consequence, sugar
cts will greatly suffer and the hay
harvest will also be crippled.
The conditions confronting the
farmers of Idaho this season in re-
gard to the water shortage will
probably be one of the best boosters
for government aid in reclamation
in the west. The plan in Idaho is
to build huge storage reservoirs, hold
back the flood waters of early spring
and use them for irrigating purposes
during the summer, instead of al
lowing the water to flow into the
Pacific.

CAREFUL CONSIDERATION IS
URGED.

If the mothers and fathers Of
Grand Forks could choose the gift Of
all gifts that we would ask, nine out
of ten of us would petition for health
and strength for our children.
The hardest thing in all the world
IS to look at the suffering babe and
to know that death must come to the
helpless little one and that nothing
can stay it. Then when it is too late,
we realize what we would give to
have practiced that "ounce of pre-
%vention."
Mortality statistics show that near
ly 20 per cent Of the deaths are of
children under one year Of age, and
that by far the greater number of
these deaths are from stomach and
bowel trouble. and impure milk is one
of the greatest causes of this needless
slaughter. of little children.
We in Grand Forks realized this
fact some years ago., and Dur women.
Through the Civic league, worked
hard and long until finally our city
government was induced to inspect
the milk that is sold to Jul people
and that our children must use, as
we'll as to inspect all other foods Of
fered for sale. the rerult of which
has been a ~leseening in the death
rate of small children and a whole

While only two weeks of argument

The South Dakota suit resulted
from state supreme court DEGREES en-

"Tanlac," Says Popular
Conductor.

Most everybody who has ridden the

the travelling public won for him q
host of friends.
In a recent interview Captain Ellie
beck made a statement regarding his
experience with Talnac that will be of
interest to everyone. especially those
suffering from the same. or similar,
troubles. He said:
II have eve been much Of a be-
liever in medicines, especially the ad-
vertised kinds, but since Tanlac has
done me such a vast amount of good
I am glad to recommend it. Before !.
took Talnac I had been suffering for
three years from stomach trouble and
indigestion. I could not eat even the
smallest quantity of anything without
Just sufferig agony from indigestion.
I seldom felt hungry and when I did
I could not eat but a few bites until
my stomach would rebel and I would
have to leave the table. Ny food
would invariably sour. causing gas
which was always followed by bloat-
ing, nausea and dizziness. and at night
vas in such pain and distress that
I could hardly sleep. I also had Sc
we're pains in my back, shoulders and
hips and such fearful headaches that
I could hardly endure them.
-"As a result of this condition I lost
considerably in weight and while I
was under treatment from I. time to
time, I could get only a little passing
relief. I finally decided to try Tanlac,
seeing it so highly recommended, and
in a short time my appetite picked up.
my digestion improved and then my
troubles gradually disappeared. So I
kept taking Tanlac. and when I had
used six bottles I could eat Just any
thing and every bad symptom was
gone. I also found I had gained ten
pounds. which put me back up to my
normal weight and. while this was
around two years ago. I have been
feeling strong and we'll ever since I'M
til this spring. A short time ago I
began to feel a little rundown and
my first thoughts were of Tanlac. I
believe people suffering from stomach
trouble n a Rundown condition can
absolutely depend on Tanlac to set

up when everything else failed and I
don't hesitate to recommend it,"

Washington, April 21.-Dr. Haniel
Won Haimhausen, who, according to
Paris advices, has been named as one
OF Germany's delegates to the peace
conference, formerly was chancellor
of the German embassy in Washing
ton. AS such he was the chief aide OF
Count Won Bernstorn and was in
charge Of tho embassy when the am
bassador was away from the capital.
Won Haimhausen was credited with
being the chief propaganda Of the
German embassy and it was generally
known that a great part Of h pre-
pared propaganda which the en-
bassy sought to have circulated passed
through his hands.
The former chancellor also was on
intimate terms with the former mem
bers of the Austro-Hungarian m
bassy and was used frequently by
Count Won Bernstorff when the latter
desired to communicate unof1cially
his desires or the desires of the Ger
man government to the represents
tives in this country of the old Vienna
government.
Won Bernstorf is said to have
placed the greatest faith in the discre-
tion and efficiency Of his aide and
frequently acted upon his advice. Won
