BIG DITCH BREAK
MEANS NO WATER
Riverside Canal Washes Away rs
Feet OF Bank-Leaves 10000 Acres
Without Water Until Repaired
parma Review

A hurriedly called meeting of the
directors of the Farmers Corpora
tive Ditch company held Monday
morning determined upon the best
means for repairing break in the
Riverside canal which occurred Sat
urdav morning. The break was caus-
ed by the water wearing through the
clay bed into the gravel and washing
out the whole side bank. Gravel was
swept all over nearby grain field.
The break occurred in Sand Hollow.
VIII Build With Concrete
The directors decided to blast out
the upper bank which is 20 feet high
to furnish dirt to bank the other side
and put in 500 lineal feet of cement
to hold the water where the break
washed away the bank. Work was
started at once as soon as the direc-
tors were informed of the catastrophe
Monday morning. An engineer was
secured within an hour, teams and
workers in excess of the need were
offered and by Monday noon the men
/ were hard at work.
This canal supplies over 160O(
acres of farm and orchard lands, and
the loss of water, if long continued
will jeopardize million dollars worth
of crops. The land furnished by thi:
|canal lies on the north. northeast anc
northwest sides of Parma. While a
first estimated as three weeks. the
time required for the repairs may pos
| sibly be only a week. Fred McCon'
nell was secured from Caldwell tc
have charge of the engineering worl
in connection with the break. Work i:
progressing rapidly with men ant
teams working in three shifts, twelve
teams on a shift.

|NTERURbAN WOULD
TAP RICH COUNTRY
Crops of This Year Will Total Over
5000 Car Loads of Produce
(Nampa Leader-Herald)

According to previous arrangement,
a number of farmers came in Tuesday
evening for further discussion of the
possibility of securing an electric line
into the Deer Flat, Sunny Slope, Riv-
erside, Lakeview and other rural sec
tons, south and west of Nampa.
The farmers brought along quite a
batch of statistics showing the pos
sible tonnage in the territory of the
proposed road. Louis Yoder, chair
man of the committee, read the data
gathered. From the report it was
shown that with normal crops, this
territory will have over 5000 cars OF
farm products to ship out this fall.
This does not include wool, hay, grain
and other products, which would
come from the Gem District and the
Jordan Valley country. Neither does
it count freight into the country, such
as coal, farm machinery, merchandise
and the like. Neither did it take into
consideration the fact that car OF
milk would come out every dav II
there were any way OF getting 1t mere.
All estimates wene scaled down
from what the farmers telt sure would
be the actual tonnage.
The facts and tigureS will be re-
checked and verified, put into shape
and presented to the Traction COM
pany. 1t is hoped that they will ap-
peal to the company as sufficient IN
ducement to build into that country:
1t is hoped, too, that the officials VIII
go over the territory and from their
own observation learn that there mas
been no exaggeration in the report
that will be submitted to them.
There were from twenty to twenty
five people at the meeting and all took
a lively interest in the proceedings.
If the united effort OF the business
men of Nampa and the farmers OF
that section can be of any avail there
will be a road.

Would Shoot British General

In declining to speak on the same
platform with a British general who
had declared during the war that con-
ditions at the front had been misrep-
resented to the British people, Ad-
miral Sims is quoted as saying,
What we military men can't under
stand is why he wasn't shot when he
wrote that letter affecting the NOR
ale OF the allied forces and civilians"
We do not recall just what the Brit
ish general said in his letter about
Misrepresentation of conditions. If,
however, representations from Brit
ish official sources were as inaccu-
rate as from American sources. the
general was probably justified in
what he wrote. In view of Amer
lean experience in that regard, the re-
mark of Admiral Sims that what we
military men can't understand is why
he wasn't shot,. is likely to intensity
the determination of the American
people not to give military men dom
nation over the republic We
wouldn't like to have man shot for
telling the truth.

Out For a Scoop

1t has been suggested as one reason
for President Wilson's sinister Sc
crecy with respect to what has been
going on at the peace conference
that he takes it for granted he will be
returned to private life after 1920
when he will buckle down perma-
nently to his favorite weapon, the
typewriter, to write book on what
happened in Versailles. This book
he will have copyrighted, and the
story of secret covenants secretly ar
rived at will then make its first APP
pearance. Naturally the author wants

About Rheumatism

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most common
of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that there is a
remedy that will afford relief, and
make rest and sleep possible. 1t is
called Chamberlain's Liniment.

shortage of hay and other foods in
