opEEDiNo UP RECLAMATION.

IF the national government desires to
be considerable of the west In provid-
lag ways and means for launching
greater land reclamation program. it
will heed the urgent request Of the
states represented at the recent irri-
cation convention held at Salt Lake.
These states are not asking for individ-
ual consideration. nor do they want the
program of land reclamation confined
to the west. Wisely they adopted the
policy of working collectively for them
selves and generally for every other
state in the union. They want some
thing done and are willing to back the
United States reclamation service in
the doing of 1t. Idaho is among these
states. While from the standpoint of
vacant, arid lands this state leads
them all, it is asking for nothing more
than are the other states and expects
NO greater consideration.
The resolutions passed by this con-
vention forcefully point out that it Is
an obligation of the federal govern
ment to reclaim the arid lands of the
vest and that 1t was sound national
policy to acquire these lands in the
first instance, the government cannot
afford to longer sit upon its rights but
, must join the procession Of progress
and be more liberal in its policy of
assisting in developing the western
country. All that is asked is loan Of
the national credit at home. 1t has
been freely pledged abroad and with
the same freedom it should be used to
bring about the reclamation of lands
that will furnish future homes for
thousands of people. The resolutions
further set forth that as the army and
navy constitute the first line of de-
Tense, SO the resources of the country
form the second. and being dependent
one upon the other, both should be en-
couraged.
Idaho was represented at this con-
gress by one of the strongest delega-
tions that has ever met with other
states to consider ways and means by
which reclamation and irrigation of
lands could be speeded up. The dele
cation was headed by Governor Davis
and delegates were named by him from
many sections of the state. They rep
resented no particular project or tract
of land They appeared for the state
as a whole and Joined heartily with
the other states Observation-Disclosures,
Oregon, Washington, Nebraska, wyo-
ming, Colorado. Utah, Nevada, Califor-
MIA, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas
in petitioning congress to act.
Having thoroughly demonstrated the
possibilities of Irrigation. Idaho finds
itself at a loss to understand why con-
gress Is so backward in getting behind
a more elaborate program of internal
construction and reclamation. Part of
the opposition is due to eastern preju-
dice, part TO false economy and part
to ignorance of conditions in the west.
IL these can be overcome-if Idaho and
other western states can convince con-
gress that every dollar loaned from the
national treasury will be repaid, that
the investment Of this money is the
safest and best investment that the
government can make, that conditions
in the west are such that financial aid
Is imperative-the constructive pro-
gram launched at the Salt Lake con-
ference will be successful!

ANGRY SAILORS

Norfolk, Va, Feb 5.--Only the
timely appeal of petty officer to
night prevented angry ENLISTED men
of the navy from electrocuting a ne
gro man whom they believe dslashed
comrade, E. J. Hahn, with razor.
The cutting occurred during a free

that resulted when Hahn attempted
to enforce the "Jim Crow law. Hahn
tried to eject a negro from front
seat when he refused to go to the rear.
The negro used the razor and in a
few minutes dozen fights were in
progress and passengers in panic
Sailors seized a negro, suspected of
being the weilder of the rabor, tied
him to the trolley pole and the car
and were endeavoring to lift him up
to the trolley wire when the petty
officer interferred and by appealing
persuaded the men to let the police
handle the situation.

PLANS FOR BOYS
WORKING RESERVE

! The announcement that the United
States Employment Service, Depart
ment of Labor, has decided to continue
and expand the United States Bows
Working Reserve as one of the chief
factors in agricultural production in
! this country establishes this organiza.
ton as an essential part of the recon
struction machine. 1t is today, in the
opinion of many food experts, one of
the most important sources of reliable,
well-trained and physically fit farm
help in America. In 1918 it produced
enough foodstuffs to feed a million
people for a year It's production for
1919 is counted on to far exceed for
mer records in all the States of the
Union.
| Through means of the largely in
creased enrolment anticipated as the
result of the intensive drive to be in
augurated during the week of JAN
uary POPS, it is expected that the
production for the coming year will
far exceed the former record in all
the States
In a booklet of information recently
sent out by the Reserve, the accom-
plishments of the organization for the
year 1917 and 1918, as we'll as its
plans for 1919 is set forth as follows
In the year 1917, the Boys Work
ing Reserve carried its organization
into forty-odd States; brought it's
program to the attention of the State
Councils of Defense in every State
in the Union secured the indorse-
ment of the Governors and State
Councils of Defense in al 1.-The States
of the Union; modified about 100,-
600 boys and placed them upon the
farms of America.
! By October /, 1918, the United
States Boys Working Reserve had
completed its organization in every
State of the United States, in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and in the Terri
tory of Hawaii; had enrolled and
placed upon the farms of the United
States about 210. 900 boys; had train
ed intensively, through its Farm
Craft Series and its Central Farm
Training Camps, about 10000 high
school boys and had been indirectly
the means of sending thousands of
younger boys into food production I'M
der State auspices.
For the coming years, these are the
aims of the Boys Working Reserve:
1. To enroll and place on Ameri-
can farms 100000 boys.
2. To afford all these boys train
ing in farm practice before they go
to the farms, by means of the Central
Farm Training Camps or Training
Farms, and the Farm Craft Lessons.
3. To help raise enough foodstuffs
to feed Europe in 1919.
/ a. To maintain the education and
welfare of all American boys Of high
school age
! 5. BY completing the organization
of the Boys Working Reserve Indus
trial Unit, to maintain the vocational
training of all American boys from
16 to 20 who are engaged in industry.

HOW ENGLAND AIDS
CRIPPLED TOMMIES

Superintendent A. C. Baker, of
Queen Mary's workshops, relates an
interesting account of his experience
in ''retraining crippled ex-service men,
in the December issue of the Monthly
Labor Review published by the De-
partment Of Labor.
/ Queen Mary's workshops are OPP
Grated in connection with the Pavilion
Military Hospital at Brighton, Eng
land.
| The patients at the Pavilion Mill
tary Hospital are soldiers who have
undergone amputation of one or more
limbs. They come to this hospital
as soon as they are able to leave the
base hospital, but while they are still
in need of merical treatment. BY the
joint operation of workshops and
hospital the men receive the curative
effects of industrial work at the same
time they are being given medical
treatment.
The workshops classes afford in
struction in such trade subjects az
motor mechanics, metal fitting and
turning, electrical engineering, COM
mercial subjects, motion-picture ma
chine operating. cabinetmaking, turn
cry and joinery, boot and shoe maxi
ing and repairing, tailoring, mechan-
ical drafting, carving and letter cut
ting ,stained-glass work, and design
ing.
The superintendent is Of the opinion
that instructors in this retraining
1nusa be specially fitted for their du-
ties, since he does not think that the
usual methods of vocational instruct
ion are satisfactory.

MASCOTTE STUCK FAST.

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 5.-The Peninsu-

efforts made by the tug Neptune to
pull her off at high tide today. The

The Mascotte was inbound from
Havana via Keywest. Captain Myers
and the crew remained on board but
the passengers were taken off this
morning and brought here. Unless the
weather changes the Mascotte will
mot be in any danger.
