Are Other Projects.
I'm addition to this there are num-
Der of other projects in the Upper
Snake River Valley and on this side of
the American Falls dam that are sus-
ceptible to irrigation and are feasible
| in possibilities. This situation also
has been given the profoundest
thought and the public good been con-
sidered. Any filing that have been
made on storage water in the Upper
Snake River Valley are completely
under the supervision of the state and
no water can be sold from these ex-
cept the price be set by the state and
its distribution supervised. This is
perhaps not clearly known, but the
Upper Snake River water users are
absolutely safe.
"Of the flood waters that go over
the Miner dam and are wasted and
with the addition of the waste waters
of the Payette, Boise and other tribu-
taries of the Snake, there is more than
three times as much water as Is
needed for the complete watering OF
the Bruneau.
"The building of the American Falls
dam also makes it possible to ex-
change the Jackson Lake storage and
release to the upper country all the
storage waters that now come past
that country for the lower irrigated
lands and there is far more than
| enough to take care of storage for
present projects in the upper country
and those that have been known to be
feasible and are yet unconstructed.
Summing up the situation, may
say that the present water users in all
sections of the state, and the future
water users or purchasers of land on
the suggested projects. as we'll as the
taxpayers of idaho may feel that their
Interests will be safeguarded legally

FAILS TO STOP AS
SPOUSE EXPECTED
Mr.. WILSON bitches WIFE
AND CONTINUES JOURNEY
TO OBLIVION.

Somewhat novel was the method
employed by Mr. Wilson of Boise to
leave his wife, according to a story re.
lated by John Baker, chief of police
as having taken place here Monda,
morning.
Having assured Mrs. Wilson that he
had secured lucrative, position III
Caldwell and that he had already ar
ranged to provide for her convenience
while here by renting housekeeping
rooms, it seems that Mr.. Wilson de-
liberately neglected to leave the train
when it arrived in Caldwell and, con,
trary to Mrs Wilson's expectations,
continued his journey to Huntington.
Inquiries made there's resulted in dis
covering that Mr.. Wilson had pur-
chased ticket on a branch line OUT
of Huntington. presumably into the
Homestead and Seven Devils district
Nothing further has been heard from
him.
Just how Mr.. Wilson happened. to
evade his spouse upon their arrival
here early Monday morning is moi
clear, Mrs. Wilson herself, does moi
seem certain whether Mr.. Wilson left
the train and then eluded her to board
It again or whether he never got off
II is presumed. however, that be
simply used mems perogative to enter
the smoker as means of eluding Mrs
Wilson.
Sometime later the calamity had be.
fallensher, Mr. Baker discovered her
sitting in the station crying He heard
her story, rented room for her at 4
local hotel and paid for a ticket back
to Boise.

that other commonwealth have
through their representatives in con

Of Idaho for getting all the money to
do the first big work of storing 5000

plated irrigation Of Vast
Areas. !,

Governor d. w. Davis this week au-
thowiEed the following statement rela-
tive to the significance of the proposed
Bruneau tract reclamation.
"A magnificent future growth looms
before Idaho. All Of us believe and
have believed for years that the waste
Of water each yesr. has been : serious
and inexcusabie one. but there has
been much speculation as to the best
means of utilizing this waste and re-

Our commissioners of reclamation
corroborates the statement Of others
in his report whca he gives us his
andings along engineering lines of the
possibility of storing water and the
public good that can be served by this
storage.
Much Idle Land.
"At the governors conference in
salt Lake the fact was brought out
that there are now more than 80 co.,
90 acres of govsrament land within
the states Of the country, from which
the states get no taxes and on which

We were all deeply impressed by
this speech OF the soldier. Not a sim

heart felt that the liberty we had re-

Another speaker SAID:
The comrade Is right. We have
been deceived and disgraced. We do
go hungry and no one cares. But
how can We get out of this shame
full situation? We would have to
overthrow the present leaders. and
reestablish the front. The Japanese
are already moving into Siberia. and
the Germans are occupying Russia,
all because we are divided. We will
be under some foreign yoke IL we
don't get together. We quarreled with
our officers. but how can We ever
hope to do anything without officers?
We might make peace with them.

For a moment the vast gathering
remained silent. II was a pathetic
