LEGISLATURE fAVORS
BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT
Passes Memorial to Congress Asking
for Construction OF Big Project IN
sdaho.-Big Men Interested.

The Snake river valley is receiving
a great deal Of publicity just now In
connection with its resources OF the
larger kind. The proposed reclama-
tion of twice as much land In new
projects as has already been put un-
der irrigation In the state, and the
fact that as much water Is likely to
flow In the stream while irrigation
of the new territory is in process as
now flows in il. is lending new in
terest to the land of mysteries, the
Snake River Valley
! The Idaho Legislature by unani-
nous vote memorialized congress to
appropriate funds to start construc-
tion work, and so great Is the inter-
est OF thinking men everywhere ef-
fecteS by these prospects, that her
resources are taking on, new values
by sympathy. For example, owners
of large deposits Of rock suitable for
making cement, are considering tho
immense value to themselves and to
the state, of establishing cement
mills TO supply native rock in cement
sacks close to the project that they
may be the greatest cement con-
suiaers In the history of the world.

Panama canal. Pocatello, Arco and
other burRs are taking the measure

One of the hopeful things about the
possibilities of the new project Is
that II is possible 10 start work with
modern equipment just as soon as

horses, mules, motor trucks, trench
machines, cement mixers and grad
Ing machinery scattered all over the
United States at the various training
camps and arsenals, and they are for
the most part Just through with all

RETURNED SAILOR SAYS
AMERICA SUITS HIN
Ben Sehwarz, Second Class Engineer.
Made Eleven Trips Across and Vis-
tied Many Foreign Countries.

After visiting all the leading ma
tions in Central and South America,
and later visiting England, Ireland
and France, Ben Schwarz is at home
thoroughly convinced that the United
States is the one great country of the
world, and that every American,
should be proud of it and satisfied
with it. 81 used to think l would
like to live in foreign countries" he
said, but after / visited them / de-
cided that the United States is good

Ben entered the navy at the begin
ming of the war as a fireman on the
Marblehead, and emerged second
class engineer engaged in the trans
port service. The Marblehead was
small vessel assigned to duty on the
west coast, and he visited all the
Central and South American nations
and went through the Panama canal
on that vessel En- route from Pana-
ma to Key West the Marblehead sank
a German sub near the coast of Cuba
by gunfire, and dropped depth bombs
where the sub went down.
On his eleven trips across the At
lantic he saw but one sub and that
were more subs on this side, he said,
on the Atlantic coast and near the
Panama canal route, than there were
in European waters during the clos
ing months of the war The subs
evidently figured, he said, that their
best chance was over here.
Mr. Schwarz made two trips on
the submarine chaser Shaw, a small
Of fupntW-
five men. The little vessel could
make so miles an hour. but her usual
speed while he was on her, was from
So to So miles an hour. Rough
weather was encountered while he
was on the Shaw, and the men had
to be strapped to their posts to keep
from being thrown all over the YES
sci or into the ocean.
He made one trip on a mammoth
transport, formerly the German linel
Deutchland. The vessel carried 25,
600 soldiers across, and there were
fifteen vessels in the convoy. Uncle
Sam was taking no chances with sc
many soldiers aboard.

Another tender-$14.05-was made

Woman Bitten By Dog Afflict-
ed With Rabies.


About two weeks ago Mrs.
Willie Abercrombie of Ameri-
can Falls, was bitten by a dog
belonging to the family. By
order of DIR. Moth the dog was
killed and the head sent to the
state laboratory at Boise. On
Sunday DIR. Moth received a
letter from the state board of
health stating that there was
no doubt that the dog had been
afflicted with rabies. The
Pasteur treatment for Mrs.
Abercrombie was ordered by
wire, and when it arrives she
will be taken to Bethany Dea-
coness Hospital for treatment.
II takes from a month to
several months for rabies to
develop in a human being. In
animals the time is much
shorter.
Orders have been issued by
DIR. Moth to have every dog in
American Falls tied up at
home, under penalty of having
the animals running at large
shot. Until the danger per-
iod is past it would be well
for farmers to keep their dogs
tied up, or at least at home.
II is not known how the Aber-
crombie dog acquired the ra-
; bies. Coyotes have been
} charged with responsibility
for the rabies epidemic that
has prevailed in many sections
) of Idaho at times during the
past two years, and they may
be responsible for the case
! here.
Inasmuch as it is not pos
sible to know how many dogs
have been bitten, and may la
ter develop rabies, it is advis-
able as a precautionary meas
ure to take no chances. Or
ders have been issued by DIR.
Moth, city and county health
; officer. that all dogs in Ameri-
; can Falls must be tied up at
home. Otherwise they will
: be shot upon his orders.

Government Must Make Good
ON Grain Guaranty.

Grain dealers, exporters
and millers Tuesday presented
to the house agricultural com
mittee varied suggestions for
methods of carrying out the
governments guarantee TO pro-
ducers OF 1926 bushel for
the 1919 wheat crop. All
agreed that the true market
price. as determined by world
conditions, would drop below
the guaranteed rate, and that
the government should make
good the difference directly
rather than by maintaining ar
tlficially the higher price.
The witnesses also agreed
ihst the existing United States
grain corporation, or some
similar body, should be main
tained as the governments
agency for supporting the
price TO growers. They diff
fered as to methods 10 be pre-
scribed by legislation, which

Tbs grain dealers proposed
that the corporation actually
buy the grain at 1925, sell It
to lnillers or other consumers
, as price dictated by world
markets. and acquire the coun-
try's surplus for export. The
, exporters suggested that the
y corporation's functions be linn
; tied TO paying farmers the
difference between the gov

WORKERS IN JAPAN
ASSERTING RIGHTS

TOXIC, July 16.-The increasing
tendency of the Japanese workers to
assert their rights and to interest
themselves in socialism is causing
leading Japanese to study the means
of meeting this labor problem. 1t is
pointed out that strikes are increas-
ing and that as Japanese labor has
no organized voice, the strikes are
liable to lead to dangerous violence,
as in the case of the rice riots last
year.
The Herald of Asia says that there
is a considerable element affected by
socialist heories, but that owing to
the severe repression imposed by the
authorities there is no can of
knowing how far socialism has
spread. The journal adds: THAT the
bacteria exists here, there is no
doubt. 1t is kept under so far, but
it only shoulders, ready to break
out on occasion. If socialism cannot
legitimately raise it's head, then it
will try to do so illicitly, and the re-
suit is Bolshevism and anarchy"
The journal recommends immedi-
ate and effective improvement of la
Dor conditions in line with the sug-
gestions of the league of nations,
political and educational reform, the
elimination of Bureaucratic methods
and a true restoration of the ideal
of democracy.
