Governor Davis
Will Presid {

Pocatello, Enthusiastically Fred
R. Reed of the Idaho Reclamation
association, with headquarters in this
city, has learned from Boise that
Governor D. w. Davis will preside as
temporary chairman of the National
Irrigation congress to be held in Salt
Lake November 20 and 81.
Acting upon requests from various
western governors, the Idaho execu-
tive, one of the prime movers in the
big conference, will open the meet
ing of western reclamation enthus-
lasts, comprising ten delegates from
each of the thirteen western states.
While each state is allowed ten votes
in the conference, they are permitted
to send as many delegates as they
desire, and Idaho for one will more
than double in delegates the number
of votes apportioned the state.
Tentative plans for the conference
call for the meeting in Salt Lake at
least one day prior to the convention
of two committees, resolution COM
mittee and finance committee, in
order that resolutions may be pre-
pared in advance for presentation to
the conference. The finance COM
mittee will devise plans for the fl
nancing of the proposed Western
States Reclamation association"
which it is expected will be formed
at the conference.
1t is proposed that an expert be
employed at an appropriate salary
to devote his entire time to the asso-
citation, and hold the position of Sec
rotary. Utah delegates, it is stated,
will recommend the appointment of
an executive committee that will be
capable of meeting readily to discuss
individual problems. That the con-
gress will take action urging western
representatives in Washington to Sc
cure the passage of the $10,00O,000
appropriation bill asked by Secretary
Lane for the completion of western
irrigation projects now partly fin
ished, is the belief of Idaho officials.
1t is pointed out that, with the pass
age of this bill, two Idaho projects
will be benefited, the Fort Hall pro-
ject in this vicinity and the King
Hill project.
A statement coming from the Of
flee of Governor Davis says in part:
at is the governors hope that
this conference will result in up
lifting the entire west in adefinite
and satisfactory reclamation policy,
which all of the western states can
and will endorse, and in the creation
of a permanent organization to urge
this policy and put it into opera
tion."

since it got into operation. The old system did
not satisfy our patrons nor ourselves. We used
to spend about $35 a week for washing powders
to break the water. Now we need none and we
apply that $35, or $40 month on our pay
ments of $3.50 month ON the water-sOftener,
and we think it was a good stroke for us and
for our patrons.
We had a lot of trouble getting goods back to
the owners, after being washed and could
not help it. The only remedy was to buy a
marking machine at a cost Of over $500, and
we have just installed that. We are convinced
that it was a good stroke of business, for it
speeds up delivery saves our time and saves
wrong deliveries We believe people will get
their own goods back promptly now. We shall
pay less in wages and more on the marking
machine.
The next big machine we shall need is
$4,000 ironer. We have a good one now, but we
have just about reached the limit of it's capacity
and our future growth with it must be met with
more expert help in operating it Or by putting
on an extra shift and working it longer.
We are glad of this opportunity to tell you
how we are growing. We put all of our profits
back into the business and sign notes for what
we hope to make, and we are getting by with
that plan. We know our service has been inn
perfect and is yet, but we are doing our best
and we are, as we said at the beginning CRATE
full to the public for their generous patronage,
and out Of that gratitudeswe find courage and
pep to go on with our service and our enterprise.
