Crops at Rexburg
Damaged by Drouth

r. ]. Cumstock of Rexburg was at
Blackfoot recently and said that
crops in the Rexburg country are
very seriously damaged by the
drouth. The owners of the large dry
farms on the bench record failure
for the first time in the history Of
dry farming, and. all vegetation de-
pending on rain is parched.
Mr.. Comstock said the people OF
the upper valley had made q mistake
last spring that added to the effec-
tiveness of the drouth. They left
their ditch repairing until after seed
ing was done, then did the ditch
work when they ought to have been
watering, and when water came into
the canals the whole sub-reservoir
was empty and drank the contents
of the canals and bitches before ef-
fective irrigation began. Then the
shortage Of water canght them with
thirsty fields. '.H7@6 as9.
For years Mr.. Comstock has been
advising farmers to have the water
in the canals early in the spring, and
turning it into any and all places
where it could be left to sink into the
sub-reservoir instead Of letting 1t run
to the sea all spring. The water
stored in the lands in this way finds
its way to the streams to swell what
is called the return flow, and can be
used more than once on its way to
the sea. The return flow this year
was less than usual, and it seems
that everything combined to increase
the force of the drouth. (,

ASKS RELIEF FROM
HIGH LIVING COST
MEMORANDUM PRESENTED TO
THE PRESIDENT BY DELEGA-
TON OF CALLERS. @
Profiteers Are Charged With Rsspon-
sibiity for Conditions Breeding
Unrest, by the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers.

Washington.-The high cost of liv-
ing and growing unrest among wage
earners of America were put directly
up to the president in a remarkable
way Wednesday by the advisory board
of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers.
They told him that if the government
could not take steps to reduce the cost
oil life's necessities, to make it square
with the income of the people, they
would demand another increase in
crease in wages.
President Wilson, who characterized
a memorandum left by the engineers
as an impressive document" had just
finished conference with Homer S.
Cummings, chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee, who told
him the high cost of living was the
burning subject, of the hour.
julius Barnes, chairman of the gov
eminent grain corporation, told the
president of grain problems and griev-
ances of the farmers over recent rul-
ings on wheat.
Warren S. Stone, president Of the
brotherhood, presented the memoran-
dunn. He was accompanied by six
teen members of the executive board.
The president, it was reported, lis
tened with profound interest, and as
sured them that their appeal would be
given consideration. No comment was
made by the railroad men after they
left the White house.

Clifford Crooks came home last
Sunday afternoon, after having re-
ceived his discharge from the regular
U. 8. army. He is in the best of
health, and said he liked the service
first-rate, but is glad to be back in
the old town and home once more.
He saw several months of service in
France, and has not been many
weeks in this country. His many
friends are sure glad to see him back
again.
A good rain fell here the first part
of last week. A number of persons
in town didn't know what to make
of it, they thought the water coming
from sky was some sort of a novelty.
The First National Bank will open
on or about September 1, that is, this
is the intention of those interested
in the organization at this time.
Glen Foster, after having had a
weeks visit with his parents Mr.. and
Mrs. c. S. Foster, left for his home

Boise Payette Lumber company, be-
longing to the Shelley Mercantile Co.
The Pocatello Elks played the
Shelley baseball team last Wednes-
day on the home grounds. In the
first two or three innings the game
looked pretty blue for the home boys
until our boys found the pill and
sailed it thru the air in great fashion.
The game ended in score of four.
teen to ten in favor of Shelley. Not
q very large number attended the
game as many went to Rexburg to
see the game between Rexburg and
Idaho Falls.

derstood to have asked the British en-
bassy in Washington to request an in
quiry into the arrest of Walter Scott,
former premier of Saskatchewan, at
Pembina, N. D., last Monday by a

the ground that he was travelling with
out passports. Mr.. Scott has protested
to the premier against the treatment
he received, asserting he was ordered
to leave a Northern Pacific train and
after being arrested, was kept locked
up for nearly three hours before escap-
ing by breaking through the plastered

FACE LOSS OF MILLIONS
investments Threatened by New Az
rarian Law Enacted in Mexico.

rarIan Law Enacted in Mexico.
Washington-Moret than a thousand
Americans are threatened with loss of
millions of dollars in investments by
a new agrarian law enacted by the
congress Of Sonora, Mexico, at the di-
rect instructions of Governor Gales.
Several American companies already
nave filed complaints with the state
department against the operation of
his law, and other complaints are in
preparation. The department is pre-
pairing representations to the Carranza
government against putting the law
into operation because of iHjustices
his government contends it works up
On United States citizens who have in
vested many millions in agricultural
ands in Sonora.
BY the terms of the law 1t is pro-
vided that the state will pay for lands
appropriated with agrarian bonds is
sued by the state, redeemable at
time and manner to be stipulated later.
The new constitution of Mexico pro-
vides that the states shall issue agrar-
ian bonds under authority of law
that has not yet been enacted by the
federal congress. The American point
out in their complaints to the state de-
partment that these bonds are of no
value and, inasmuch as the national
government of Mexico has not paid the
interest on it's bonds since 1913, there
8 no indication that the agrarian bonds
will be of any value.
