The telephone gang which went
through here recently left number of
dead and down poles in citizens back
yards. The people consider them a
nuisance and they certainly are. The
poles should be sent to Post
master General Burleson, who, from
all indications, will need them as
props. At any rate the people Of
Princeton object to the discard junk
of the telephone crew being left in
their yards.

THE FINANCIAL RELATION
BETWEEN WHEAT AND FLOUR
One Reason for the n. c. of L. as In

of September y, an analysis of the

on page four It is a very interesting
bit of information after one has atud-
led it for a few moments.
When the orga nization of the Food
Administration was disbanded, n new
proposition known as the United States
Grain Corporation was authorized By
President Wilson to handle the grain
and insure a fair price to the farmer
as well as to the consumer. A man Dy
the name Of Houser, a large holder in
mill and elevator interests on the I3tc-

WATER SHORTAGE PREDIC-
TED FOR NEXT SEASON
STATE COMMISSIONER OF REC
LAMATION ISSUES WARNING
BASED ON RECORDS OF
PREVIOUS YEARS

Whether the history OF water will
repeat itself is not known but in
order that everyone may take meas
ures to protect themselves the state
Commissioner of Reclamation. w. G..
Swendson, has issued a warning which
indicates a possibility Of another water
shortage next year.
After carefully studying the avail
able reports on the water situation III
the Snake River Valley extending back
over a period of thirteen years, all the
dope points to the probability of an
other short year to follow our present
season.
Although the coming winter may
bring the normal amount of snow
and moisture, the records show that
excessively dry years are followed by
a water shortage, even tho the noun
tains may hold plenty Of snow 1t
may be possible that the two years
OF dry conditions experienced by this
particularly locality have robbed the
soil of such q great quantity of mois-
ture that q normal snow fall will dt
very little more than restore to tht
soil its proper moisture content
To offset the anticipated shOrtag,
Of water Commissioner Swendsen is
urging the farmers under the Snake
river valley projects to make the
earliest possible start with their work
next spring. Investigating the present
season, experienced farmers and engin-
GERS over the country have reported
that one reason for decreased produc-
ton was the late start made by the
farmers. Early water will do twice
as much to improve the crop as water
delivered during the hot season. II an
early planting is secured, the individ-
ual plants can fairly well establish
themselves with the normal soil moist
ure before the first days Of hot wealth
er. If a good watering can be made
during the last cool days OF spring, the
or ps will be fairly well established
when the really hot weather arrives
Agricultural experts of the country
are agreed that in the year of short
water, the farmer who gets the. earif-
est possible start is the one who Sc
cures the good crop with the minimum
of water trouble.

this would not be advisable. A large
number of residences have deep cess
pools which drain into cracks in the
lava. For all we know, there may be
a single pool rnder the town In that
event deep well would be the worst
possible solution of our water ques-
ton"
NJ. L. Webb, Superintendent of the
city Waterworks Department in
speaking of the mechnicaI handling OF
the water made the following state
ment:
Since May the settling basin Of the
city water system has been thoroughly
cleaned twice. Before that date and
since under city ownership, it was
cleaned but once a year. The filters
have been cleaned from three to five
times daily all summer. For the past
several weeks they hive been cleaned at
five o'clock in the morning, twelve
O'Clock, noon, and nine o'clock in the
evening. The city mains have been
blown off every two weeks during the
summer. where previously they were
flushed only in the fall and the spring
There is one chlorine apparatus and it
has been working at all times except
when undergoing repairs and clean
ing"
To date, there has been no state an
lysis of the water, and so far as the To-
cal officers know, it my be free from
contamination. DIR. Dill reports that
there have been no cases of illness in
Shosho1e that are traceable to the city
water.

CITY OFFICIALS MAKE
STATEMENT ON
CONDITIONS
Report the Mechanical Handling of the CITY
Water System Better than
Ever Before

Following the statement published
last week by the Deputy State Sani-
tary nd Health Inspector, the city Of
ficials have given the following re-
ports to the Journal in order to clear
up &the apparant misunderstanding
concerning the local water situation.
we are, and always have been. more
than willing to make any installations,
or corrections recommended by the
State Department. The statement of
the Inspector is hardly fair to Sho-
shone." said E. A. Bowler. a member
of the Board of Trustees.
Dr. Dill, County Health Officer, gave
the following statements:
while the water conditions in
Shoshone are not all that we would like
they are better than those found in the
average community. There is no SAN
itary engineer or water expert resid-
ing in the county and we look to the
State Health Officer to give the nece-
ssary instructions and suggestions for
our water supply If they will tell US
how to remedy the situation, / am
sure that every citizen of Shoshone
will be glad to do his part to secure
a better condition. Owing to the eN-
tremely low water in the river, our
source Of supply has been less whole-
some than usual and have warned
everyone to boil the water before us
ing Since the ice is made from the city
water it should not be pl:iced il the
water but around the containers.
There has been much talk about in
installing deep wells In Shoshone
