BODY OF JOHNSON
 BROUGHT 10 TOWN

Deputy Marshal Wood returned to Fairbanks late yesterday after noon from Salcha with the body of Axel Johnson, truck driver, who met death on the trail south of Fairbanks on Thursday afternoon.
 Wood reports that the truck over- turned in such manner as to make lit impossible for Johnson to jump from his seat, and when the heavy machine came to a sudden halt at the foot of the embankment, the driver was thrown to the ground, where he was pinned beneath the lower front wheel, the weight rest ing upon his hip and groin. Other bruises found on the body indicate that death was almost if not quite instantaneous. The truck landed on its side.
 No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral.

Popular Mary Pickford, that de- light of the silent drama, will make her appearance at the Coliseum to- morrow night in her newest Art craft picture, "The Little Ameri- can," which is said to be the strong est production in which she was ever starred.
 The story deals with the late war and offers various surprises that, when seen on the screen, will dis close remarkable effects. As the little American girl marooned in a French chateau while the battle surges around her, Little Mary" is given an opportunity to display the wonderful dramatic ability with which she is gifted.
 Although the story deals with the war. IL IS HOL O1 SIlS SdfHG type as the ordinary war drama, as it deals more with the intimate than the general.
 An exceptionally capable support ing cast appears in the production with Mary, the list including such well-known players as Herbert Bos- worth, Jack Holt, James Neill, Ray mond Hatton, Guy Oliver, Edythe Chapman, Lillian Leighton. Walter Long, Dewitt Jennings, and little Ben Alexander.

CIVILIANS ATTACK PROFTEERS WITH
 HAND GRENADES

COBLENZ.-Hand grenades left over from the war were used ef- Actively recently by enraged civ ilians in Zoppot, West Prussia, who attacked food stores on the ground that the shop-keepers were profteer- ing. According to information reaching American army headquar- ters, a mob, armed with grenades, revolvers and other weapons, at tackled in numbers the stores which were known to have charged high prices.
 In the interior of Germany mar garine has been quoted recently at 6 marks per pound, whereas it for merly cost 2.sO marks per pound. This is attributed to the fact that large quantities have lately been bought abroad at higher prices than formerly, owing to the low rate of German exchange The official rate of exchange at army headquarters is marks P pfennigs for one franc, giving the mark value in American money of a fraction more than 6 cents.

DRAINAGE is
SUCCESS
Swampy and Boggy Land Being Com
pletely Reclaimed.

The dredge working on the drain.
age ditch below town is doing good
work. Any doubt that the ditch would
drain the land has been removed by
actual results already obtained. Land
that few months ago was swampy
and so boggy that neither horses nor
men could travel over it, is now as dry
as bone. So called springs that had
been bubbling out of the ground for
20 years, and which many prophesied
would not be affected, have dried up.
1t is an object lesson in drainage that
cannot fail to convince the most skep-
teal.
Predictions are now being made that
this land that has been almost value
less for upwards of 20 years will be
growing bountiful crops of all kinds
within the next two years and will be
worth from 500 to $500 per acre.

SCHOOL BOND ELECTION
FRIDAY
Question of Issuing SCI, 900 of
Bonds for Buildings to be
Voted On.

The election to vote upon an issue
of 1000 of bonds by the Emmett
Independent school district will be
held tomorrow friday. The polls
will be open from o'clock to 5 o'clock
In the afternoon and the polling place
Will be the Wardwell school building.
The absolute inadequacy of the pres
ent building is so obvious and the nee
essity for increased school facilities
is so patent as to make it unnecessary
to urge the sanction of the bonds.
Plans for a new building have been
prepared by an architect and adopted
by the board. The new building will
be sensible structure, modelled along
most approved lines for school houses,
and constructed on the unit system, a
wise provision. By so doing, if the
district outgrows the new building,
another unit can be added at any time.
Each unit will be complete in itself.
The district already owns ground, at
the corner south of the Presbyterian
church.
The bonds should receive a unani-
mouse vote. The best investment a
can make is for schools.

boat from Coblenz to Cologne and tn,
ride down the Rhine is a trip I shall
never forget. 1t is beautiful stream
with valleys and hills interspersed
On nearly all of the high hills were
the ruins of some old castle which
poked its nose up into the horizon
and all of these old castles hav.. sorle
legend which has become a 81 lssie
in German literature and are believed
to be true by the simple credulous
German folk who live along the Rhine
today. At Cologne | visited the old
cathedral-one of the finest in Europe.
1t was begun in the 18th century and
not completed until late in the 18th
century. Believe me, Solomon's tenn
pie had nothing on this. There are
two spires, each five hundred and ten
feet high. The original plans drawn
by Mr.. Gerard, the architect, are still
on exhibition in the church; and he
certainly must have been a dreamer,
for a man who could conceive of a
structure such as this must have look
ed far into the future and dreamed the
dreams which are only given to few
men. 1t is beautiful beyond descrip-
ton. The stained glass windows were
placed in during different epochs of
it's construction. One set of windows
will be exactly the same model and
the next set entirely different, yet
equally as beautiful although set in
perhaps a hundred years later than
the one before. l spent over an hour
in here just absorbing the beauty of
the place. Our train met US at Co
logne and came home by way of Paris.

ectly to st. Afghan. On arriving here
found orders had been issued for our
breakup, so that beginning on the 18th

IN France, but l do not expect to get |
It, for they are sending US home as

Doc Had Nothing on Him.

The story of DR.. Woods thrilling
experiences while fishing in Payette
Lakes, as told in The Index last week,
amused Ralph and Howard Munday,
Vern Munday's two sons. The boys
went to Wilburus Sunday to visit their
aunt, Mrs. Blackler. They didn't wait
long to get to fishing. In few min
utes, Ralph had nice trout on his
hook. In his excitement he fell into
the creek, up to his chin, but he held
onto the trout, and emulating DR..
Wood, dove and grabbing the fish in
his arms carried it safely to shore, re-

Some PUPS"

f. L. Holverson and E. X. Hayes
on Monday received two Irish Spaniel
pups from kennel in California. The
first thing the pups did after being
released from the shipping crate was
to eat a package of tacks, several pop
bottles, few 10-penny nails, mop,
pick handle and crow bar. 1t is be-
lieved the pups are second cousins of
Joe Helfert's billy goat that Emil
Mech wanted to borrow to furnish
milk for the baby.

A Remarkable Institution.

One of the big assets of the Squaw
creek country is the Farmers and
Stockgrowers Bank located at Sweet.
Last week The Index printed the
financial statement of the bank, as re-
quired by law, and the showing is
really remarkable, especially when one
considers that Sweet is a town of less
than 200 population. The footings are
near the quarter million mark, and the
deposits total $112,271. The writer
can remember when the First Nation
al of Emmett made smaller showing,
and Emmett then claimed a popula-
tion of 1900. To accomplish such re-
suits means that the Sweet bank has
been well managed. A. D. Stanton
was the power behind the cashiers
desk in the early days, and l. w.
Stoddard, the present cashier, is
worthy and capable successor. The
is public spirited and the
Institution is a staunch friend of the
farmers and stock raisers of the
Squaw creek valley. 1t enjoys their
confidence and their enthusiastic sup
,ort. I

and Ed says he was more interested
in said trout than in the booze, or he
could give more definite details. He
! is positive, however, the stuff was
buried about two feet deep, and that
red ant hill was just on the edge of
the excavation. The sun was just
peeking over the hills, the moon was
near the western horizon and frost
was on the vegetation. Bear tracks
were in the trail about 80 feet away
and deer tracks led to the river. Smoke
was issuing from a settlers cabin not
far away, and the air was blue in the
vicinity of where Ralph Cowden was
making the excavation for the cache.
Off in the distance could be heard the
tinkle of a COW bell, denoting where
the party's pack horses were grazing.
Cowden's bear dog was scratching his
off ear, and the New Yorker who
brought the liquor was putting some
salve on blister on the heel of his
right foot. Ed Hayes was Hiciously
chewing his cud while he watched thu |
trout jumping around in the river,
and the New Yorker was smoking q
Missouri meerschaum.
Mr.. Hayes says that there probably
were other details, but that 80 years
5 long time to remember everything.
Then scratching his head as if In deep
thought, he added: "Come t. thiIik

'ooth' Ralph Cowden's feelings by tell
ng him the story of the old maid"

Another meeting will be held to-
night to effect permanent organiza-
ton of water users association, and
it is hoped that out of the conference
and discussions some plan will be
agreed upon that will insure more
stable conditions under this irrigation
system. One speaker, recent arrival
from Buhl who is an enthusiastic
booster for the Emmett country, hit
the keynote of the situation when he
declared that what is of paramount
Importance is water in sufficient
quantity and a sure and steady flow
during the entire season, no matter at
what cost.
An encouraging feature of the situa-
tion is the disposition to forget the
past and its factional controversies
and feeling and all work together as
unit to secure the greatest possible
service and efficiency in the manage
ment of the district and the delivery
of irrigation water.

WHERE "IT" WAS
CASHED
Description of Location of Two Gal
Ions of Good Old Bourbon

Many inquiries have come to The
Index concerning the location of the
two gallons of good old Bourbon, the
burial of which 80 years ago was
noted in last weeks issue. Of course,
the Snake Bite reporter of this Great
Family Guide is desirous of relieving
the gloom in these days of drouth,
dependency and despair, and if he
could put his finger on the spot where
those two demijohns were cached
well, he himself would have been
Johnny on the Spot long ago with
spade and pick, instead of fishing
tackle. But he is confident it is there
all right, all right. Ed Hayes, who is
a teetotaller, but was a member of
the party that cached this store of
convivial and exuberant elixir, also
has kind heart and would point out
the exact spot if he could. He has
no use for the stuff, except along
about Thanksgiving time when mince
pies are ripe, but he is willing to des-
cribe the location to the best of his
knowledge after lapse of 80 years.
He says: "The liquor was in two
one-gallon glass jars with wicker
covering. They were buried at the foot
of yellow pine tree near the old
trail one mile east of Lowman on the
north side of the South Fork of the
Payette. The tree was probably sew
enty-five feet tall, with a knotty pro-
truberance on the south side, about a
quarter way up the trunk. A pine
squirrel was sitting on his launches
on a limb about half way up, eating a
pine seed. He was bob-tailed and one
ear was clipped. On the topmost
branch a black crow sat, scolding a
bald eagle which was perched on an
other tree close by. The crow stood
On one leg and his feathers were ruff
lied as if angry about something. Just

FOREST fire DAMAGE
GREAT
Flames Sweeping Through Yel-
low Pine District on Ten
Mile Front.

The forest fire which has been rag
ing for three weeks in the yellow
Pine district of the Thunder Mountain
section in central Idaho threatens tt
equal in destruction the great fires
which swept western Montana and
northern Idaho in 1910 when a great
loss of life resulted, according to mem
bers of the local forestry service and
officials from the general land office
at Salt Lake.
The fire has wiped out six square
miles of timber and has done serious
damage over an equal area. One hund-
red twenty-five million feet of lumber
is considered a low estimate of the
loss. In its present state the timber
lost is valued at between so cents and
81 a 1000 feet.
Timber in which the fire is burning
is on the public domain.
Less than 100 men are fighting the
flames. The timber is drier than in
years and the fire is spreading with
great rapidity. Communication with
the men who are directing the fight
on the fires have been cut off and the
only information available comes in
the form of kilograms from fighters
who have returned to towns on the
railroads from the scene of the con-
flagratien.

Times Have Changed

How times and mode of travel
have changed in the last 80 years.
reminiscently remarked Ed Hayes as
he whirled into town at a speed of
about 40 miles an hour on a return
trip from Deadwood. Mr.. Hayes had
logging contracts on Clear creek for
the Emmett sawmill in those days.
Driving "bull team" from seven to
10 days were required to make the
trip from Emmett to Clear creek. The
other day, the round trip was made in
less than two days, which included
whole day spent in fishing.

A Correction

G. B. Mains says he made an error
in announcing that the Boise Payette
Lumber Company had offered the city
99-year lease on the Hanthorn is
land for park purposes. He says the
island intended is the White Pine is
land, just back Of the ice house. Mr..
Mains thinks this will make an ideal
place for \ tourists auto park, and
could be fixed up at small expense.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1919-07-17

The situation in the forest generally
is serious, owing to the unprecedent-
ed dry weather. Supervisor c. B.
Mains went up country yesterday
morning to personally superintend the
defensive measures being taken to pre-
vent the spread of small fires as well
as to organize fighters for larger con-
flagrations The Cascade News says
that in the past fifteen days twelve
forest fires within radius of 25 mics
from Cascade have been reported.
Three-fourths of them are said to
have been traced to human agencies.
In most every case to camp-fires. 1t
would seem that in consideration of
the conditions existing as a result of
the longest dry spell that has been
witnessed for many years, greater
precaution would be exercised to pre-
vent the starting of forest fires. The
vigilance of the forest rangers and
others in the service is all that has
prevented the spreading of these fires,
with attendant loss of timber of great
value.

CANYON CANAL WATER
USERS CONFER
Discuss Methods of Improving
Water Service for Next
Season.

That water users under the Canyon
water problems that have been assum-
ing larger proportions each succeed
ing year for some time, was manifest
ed at the mass meeting held in this
city Tuesday evening. The original
intention was to hold the meeting in
Commercial Club rooms, but so large
was the crowd that an adjournment to
Liberty theater, which was generously
donated by C. d. Bucknum, was neces-
sary. Several hundred were present
and from appearances but few if any,
water users were absent.
The meeting was called to order by
" T. Craig, who stated the object of
the meeting was to devise ways and
means to not only increase the water
supply, but also insure steady supply
during the entire irrigation season.
A temporary organization was effect
ed by electing v. T. Craig as chair
man and Ed Skinner as secretary.
D. H. VanDeusen led off in the dis
cussions. He favored the organiza-
ton of water users association hav-
ing a board of directors composed of
seven, these directors to constitute an
advisory board to the board of direc-
tors of the Emmett Irrigation District.
j. R. Field contended that the need
NOT for mora boardS ~, 10
boards, out for centralized manage
ment and he urged the appointment of
a manager who should be thorough
business man as we'll as an irrigation
expert.
w. H. Sissler and Fred Baisch both
favored the water users idea with an
advisory board. Mr.. Field moved,
That it is the expressed sense of this
meeting that the directors of the EN-
NETT Irrigation District, present or
future, be requested to appoint man
who shall have charge of this irriga- |
tion system. Upon motion of E. F.
Wells, the motion was laid on the
table
G. K. McProud's motion, That a
water users association be formed,
carried.
A motion prevailed that a COM
mittee of five on organization of
water users association be appointed
by the chair to report Thursday even
Ing, and Mr., Chapman, D. H. Van
Deusen, P NJ Spratt, j. l. Guthrie and
E. F. Wells were appointed as such
committee.
