BRIGHT FUTURE FOR JEROME
AND THE NORTH SIDE TRACT

Some time ago The Times made Il
list OF all the houses which were
under way of construction in Je-
rome at that time. and found that
there were twenty-five houses going
up, or few OF them had just been
hnished. We do not know Tor IL Ger
tainty just how many houses are be-
ing built at this time, but it is evil
dent that building operations ard not
letting up at all. 1t is safe to say
that at least twenty-five houses are.
and will be at all times this season.
under way OF construction. Suppos-
ing that it requires six weeks to
build the average house. during the
eight months OF the building season
approximately 1870 houses will be
built this season in Jerome There
are no vacant houses in jerome now
ing season closes. because there are
always a number vi families on the
waiting list, ready to move into these
houses that become vacant by rea-
son OF new houses being built Then
supposing that the average family
moving In is composed OF five mem
bers, 5x13O equals $50 people to be
added 10 the population OF Jerome
this season.
II Is a reasonable, conservative es
innate that ate sleast that number Will
be added to the population. because
building operations viii continue
more or less all Slnter. and will not
be confined entirely to the eight
months as stated above.
BY looking at map and estimat-
ing the territory that is tributary TO
Jerome. and always will be tributary
to Jerome, and considering the gen
eral character of the farmers occupy
ing that territory. as to industry

as compared TO other localities the

TO WATER USERS ON SNAKE
RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES


Idaho Falls. Idaho. June ), 1913.
To The Water Users in Water Dis
trict No 80:
The present situation regarding
the water supply available in Snake
River and its upper tributaries is
serious. AS result Ol the recent
cold weather the flow has decreased
very rapidly Jackson Lake reser-
yoir still lacks more than 100000
acre feet OF being filled to capacity
Yet, in order TO partially supply the
deficiency, it has been necessary TO
stop storing the inflow by opening
the gates sufficiently TO allow the
entire natural flow OF the stream TO
pass the dam. All water rights III
the District have been cut to their
DEGREES and unless the natural flow
OF the stream increases within a few
days. it may be necessary both to
draw upon the storage already ac-
cumulated in Jackson Lake and to
cut out some of the more recent nat
ural flow rights entirely.
We are still hopeful that the rise
in temperature normally to be eX-
pected at this season Of the year may
result in d material increase in the
flow, but with the deficiency in SNOW
reserves which is believed to exist
III the high mountains. this is by no
means certain.
In view oi this condition, We de
sire TO urge upon each water master
ditch rider and individual water user
the utmost possible care and conser-
walton in the use OF water. All the
available supply is being used, ID
fact for nearly three weeks there
has been very little water pass the

Put yourself in the place OF the un-
der dog and consider how you would
feel if while you were deprived o.

crops because Of water right OF

MORE FRIGHTFULNESS

German diplomacy is down and out
maybe. German intrigue in this coun-
try is at an end-perhaps. There is,
however, considerable significance in
the fact that campaign of wholesale
terrorism should have been begun her
Just at a time which the mind Of the
German intriguer would regard the
psychological moment to bring pres
sure to bear upon the American peo-
pie in the interest of milder terms for
Germany, and that the method adopt
ed should be that of the "frightful-
ness" with whose ways the world has
become familiar.
By resort to all of the spacious
methods which characterized the
workings of it's old diplomacy Ger
many is endeavoring to induce the
peacemakers at Paris to modify the
terms of the treaty. Germans have
never been able to get out of their
minds the idea that Mr.. Wilson and
the American government can be
bluffed and bulldozed, and they look

Montpelier Woman Robbed

Miss Frances Morse, who has a
millinery store in Burlington was held
up by and robbed Saturday night Of
about $500 in money as we'll as sew
eral PARTICLES of jewelry, which the
woman had in her purse. Thus far
the police have found nothing of her
assailant. Miss Morse left her store
about 1 1o'clock and was walking to
her home in Emmons street. The
man caught her and grabbed her
handbag in which she carried her
money and jewelry. A short struggle
occurred, after which the yeggman
was able to overcome the woman and
ran away, crossing the road and go
ing into another portion of the city.
This is the first hold-up that has oc-
Cured in the city in seven years,
aside from the affair of few Sun
days ago near Montpelier Junction.

BARRE ON THE JOB

The city of Barre, as live and ener-
getic as usual, has voted to issue
bonds up to 100000 to provide for a
suitable memorial for the soldiers of
that city who fought in the recent
war. This amount is in addition to
a $4,000 gift from the quarry owns
ers. We have had considerable talk
of a Liberty building in Burling-
ton, large enough to provide among
other things an excellent convention
hall, but we seem not to have made
much progress in the matter.
Certainly, we congratulate Barre
upon it's prompt action in the mat
ter and we sincerely trust a large
number of Vermont cities and towns,
including Burlington, will follow
suit.-Burlington News.

German People Unconvinced

Count Won Brockdorff Rantzau is
reported to be insisting that his re-
signation from the peace delegation be
accepted because he can not endure
the humiliation of signing the allied
terms. The poor Germans! They
never seem to think there was any
humiliation to starting a war that
caused the deaths of millions.-Troy
Record.
Few people realize the attitude of
the entire German people concern
ing the outcome of the war. 1t seems
ridiculous to us that there are any
Germans who will not now admit de-
feat, but such is the case. The great
est concession that any German will
make is that the Allies beat the civil
ian population by their influence up
on the economic conditions of Ger
many, but no Hun citizen would
think of admitting that our armies
inflicted any serious punishment upon
the German terms. Humiliation is an
unknown state of mind in Wilhelm's
former domain, and, even though its
representatives eventually sign the
Peace Treaty, no one can ever con-
vince the German people that their
leaders are even remotely responsible
for the war or that they deserve the
stringent terms that they must submit
to. The Hun war lords may have faile
ed in making any great affect with
their propaganda in foreign countries,
but the minds of it's own citizens were
paralyzed beyond recovery.-Benning-
ton Banner.

upon Mr.. Wilson as head and front
of the peacemakers. What is more
natural, then, with the old machinery
in this country practically intact, the
powers directing German policy-as
much now as when they plunged their
country into war-should put that ma
chinery to working, in the hope that
visitation of "frightfulness" at this
time would influence the United
States to take action in Germany's be-
half?
the.
Of course, it may be that there is no
direct connection between this latest
wave of crime and the German or
ganization which directed earlier
waves of crime, but there, is an UNI
questioned coincidence and an I'M
questioned similarity of method suf-
ficient to arouse suspicion. 1t is GER
tain tat these bomb crimes are COM
mitted by elements in this country
that from the first have shown them
selves in complete sympathy with the
German effort to destroy liberty, the
while they were prating loudly of
their love for liberty.
The crimes have been committed
actually by individuals, and every in
strument of government-federal,
State and municipal-must be CEN
tired upon finding and Furnishing those
guilty. It will not do for police aut-
horities, here or elsewhere, to jump
at the easy conclusion that the crimi-
nails were themselves destroyed just
because some circumstantial evidence
points in that direction.
1t must be conceded taht the char
acter of the attacks and the number
of them, committed at practically the
same time, indicates a nationwide
