Petitions in Preparation Seeking
Consideration for Dubois Pro-

TEN THOUSAND SOLDIERS SIGN

X. w. katerndahl of The Dubois
Enterprise came to Blackfoot Friday
with petitions to be signed by ex-
soldiers, sailors and marines asking
secretary Lane for support for the
DUBOIS project. These petitions are
to have the signatures of 1000 ex-
service men if possible, and are to
be used only after the Mondell bill
mas been passed by congress appro-
priating reclamation funds for all
projects feasible.
The Mondell bill has good chances
OF gaining the vote of congress.
When it is passed the money will
be appropriated for various projects.
1t is the purpose of these petitions
to show that service men of the west
recognize the Dubois project as a
great benefit to settlement.
The following is copy of the petit
ton to which the signatures of TO-
00O ex service men are sougth:
To the Honorable Franklin X. Lane,
Secretary of Interior.

Your petitioners,-the under.

Instances
\ LOCAL STORY

People who are inquiring about
Miss Tarbell, who she is, what she
is and what is her work are informed
that she is Journalist and that she
writes for the American Magazine
She was born in 1857 and has written
about dozen notable books. She
can always be relied upon to tell the
absolute truth about any subject
that she writes on. She is one OF
those writer's who gets her informa-
ton at first hand. She has farm
in Connecticut, but she lives at 1872
East 18th street.
Her address, Saturday night, on
the work Of the peace conference was
one of the very valuable things of
the chautauqua.
Lieutenant Sam Forter Home
Lieutenant Samuel Forter, son-in-
law of H. G. Tavey Of Blackfoot, is
back from overseas. Mrs. FOrter,
who has been for some time at the
Tavey home at Blackfoot, went to
New York to meet him and they ar
rived home Saturday.
Ida Tarbell mentions Mr.. Forter
as one of the men whose work at
tracted her attention in France. She
was personally acquainted with him
and says many good things about his
work of building barracks especially
at Lille. Hundreds of sufferers, es-
pecially old people and children bless
the name Of Lieutenant Forter be-
cause he took them out of the cold
cellars where they were existing and
put them in comfortable barracks
and gave them protection.
Miss Tarbell relates among other
things that the mayor Of Lille ran
away from conditions too terrible to
face and that his secretary, a woman,
the city government in
his absence. This woman talked to
Miss Tarbell about the work done by
Lieutenant Forter to help her and
her people and broke down and
cried as she related some of the
things he had done.
When the writer mentioned this
matter to Lieutenant Forter he said,
ooh well, / didn't do anything ex-
cepting what anyone else would have

f. In our club championship match
last year on the military range, two
competitors used the same two rifles.
a Springfield for slow fire and a Krag
for rapid. When we got to the rapid
fire, at 200 yards, after firing at 500
and 800 slow fire, they of course had
no sighting shots and had to calcu-
late their windage for the Krag.
Well, they didn't take enough and
the first one to fire punched his hits
ESQ as to get nothing but As and 3's.
The other fellow, watching where his
friend got his hits, then set the wind
gauge farther over, with the result
that his alignment was good and he
scored As. Now what | would like
to know is if it was fair for them
to team up in that way. Certainly
the fellow who shot second in the
rapid fire had big advantage.
w. c. F., Chicago, Ill.
The man who shot last in rapid
fire unquestionably benefited from
watching the result of the shooting
done by his companion who used the
same rifle he was to use. It may or
may not have been that it was de-
liberately planned that the better
shoot was to shoot first and the other
was to profit by watching where his
hits were disked and then making
any necessary windage adjustment.
Hardly fair in the strictest sense of
the word. In our opinion, in a club
match for the individual champion
ship every fellow should go it alone.

Yes, the policy of admitting civil
ian teams-one or more from each
state-inaugurated in 1916, will pre-
vail in the 1919 matches. Particu-
lars can be obtained by addressing

distinctly understood that he is not
in politics, he is not a candidate for
any office and does not want political
preferment of any kind, and that the
thing that is nearest and dearest to
his heart at the present time is the
reclamation of the state along clean,
wholesome lines for Idaho and its
people.
He also states that he has seen the
fiood-waters of the Snake river pass
the arid acres of the state of the
Columbia and which are forever lost
to the acres of Idaho, and now what
he is trying to do is to get the gov
eminent to build reservoirs in the
Snake river and it's tributaries and
hold this water that is wasted every
year. He believes that If the govern

If the government would do this,
the decreed water rights would be
forever protected, and the surplus

This method is tffe only way of
settling the hundreds of controver-
sizes regarding water, its ownership
and distribution. He further states
that the association is not butting on
anybody's business, and is not boost

The situation in southern Idaho
today is one of conflict, turmoil and
unrest regarding the water situation.

the return and flood-waters could be
used in Idaho and for Idaho, and not
allowed to run to the sea.
The problem is a big one. 1t can
not be settled with neighborhood
squabbles and six-shooters. It is a
problem in which the agricultural
life of our valleys depends. 1t is
not a One-man problem, and it will
never be settled until the people get
together under cOmmon-sense

ton that is strong and powerful
enough to unite all factions, weld all

STOCK CAR SHORTAGE TO BE
INVESTIGATED

A telephone message was received

which prevails at certain shipping
points in the county. This informa-
ton is to be used by the state farm
