avides for an exchange of waters and
the building of the dam will supply
the lower valley with waters from
American Falls and, the upper val
ley from the Jackson Lake reservoir
The Jackson lake reservoir has a
capacity of $4,000 acre feet of
which 10000 acre feet have been
acquired by projects in the upper
valley above American Falls and the
remainder in the lower valley.
The size of the proposed dam will
vary in accordance with the amount
of water applied for by the several
companies and the exchange of
waters will not be made permanent
until after three years and it has
been found that the American Falls
dam is an efficient and successful
reservoir. Then permanent ex-
changes will be made.

largest canal companies in this dis

company and the Aberdeen-Spring-

Wool Growers Form
1920 Wool Pool

Bingham county wool growers an

1920 pool at their meeting Tuesday
afternoon and appointed commit
tee to organize and look after the
details. The wool growers voted to
pool their wool, setting the standard

association is determined, to create
high standard so that buyers would
be attracted by the uniform quality
and thus establish reputation for
the county for good wool.

Former City Clerk
Receives Pardon

w. P. Dave, formerly the city
clerk at Idaho Falls, was given an
unconditional pardon on February 2.
He had served more than the mini
mum sentence of one to eight years
and a long list of men from Idaho
Falls were in favor Of giving him his
liberty and restoring him to citizen
ship several months ago.
Dave was charged with embezzle-
ment of the city funds and on the
advice of friends he appealed his
case after conviction. When 1t went
to the supreme court it was decided
against him and he was notified by
wire that the had lost. He was at
the time keeping books for firm at
Salt Lake City and he went to Boise
and appeared for admission to the
state prison to begin his sentence,
and was locked in the iron cage with
a long line of others. When visited
a few weeks ago by the editor OF
The Republican he expressed the
greatest heart-hunger for liberty and
the chance to make good. ~

THE LESSON OF
THE BOND ROADS
Years Review of Mis-
takes, Disappoint-
ments, and Sur
prises Learned =
FACTS AND FIGURES
What People Said Year
Ago and How it
Looks Now

With this issue of The Republican
we are able to give the people Of
Bingham county some important
news regarding the cost of the bond
roads. One of the vital questions
asked over and over again last year
when bonding was being considered
was regarding the methods by which
the money would be expended and
the work done, and how much money
in every dollar expended would be
spent for engineering, superintend-
ence and office work. For the op-
erations of the year 1919 that ques-
tion has been determined, and 1t
reads
Three Cents and Eight Mills
For each dollar expended 3 cents
and 8 mills went for plans, super
intendence, engineering and account
ing, and So cents and 2 mills went
for construction, materials and ma
chinery.
For each dollar expended in 1919
from the bond money, 27 cents was
invested In road machinery, and we
have 1t yet. As we go on with road
construction for 1920, comparatively
little will be expended for machinery
and relatively more can be put into
construction. We predict that for
the year 1920 the expense of engine
ering will be slightly reduced, the
cost of accounting will not increase
and the cost of experimenting will
not be any higher.
We're All Scared
A year ago the people of this
county, including the officials, were
scared. Statements had been freely
made that there were cases of high
way construction in Idaho where go
per cent Of the money used had gone
for engineering, superintendent and
accounting and only 40 cents on the
dollar had been used for actual con-
struction. People in this county said
that IL any such program as that
was to be conducted in Bingham
county they were opposed to placing
any bond money at the disposal Of
the officers.
Some of the more or less reckless
loIIOWS, LdhlHS JHoSe Udu eAduuplcS
as basis for robbery, sometimes
said that If they could be sure that
no more than half of the money
would be spent for these unproduc-
tive things, and the other half could
go into actual construction, they
would vote for the bonds, but they
did not think people ought to have
to stand for such waste.
Acting on Faith
When this paper was agitating
for the bond election, we we're not
able to tell people what kind of con-
struction would be used nor what Il
methods of construction and superin-,
tendence would be adopted. We
could only say that we had q deep
conviction that roads must be built,
and that they would cost money. We
had faith in the integrity of officials

Accepts Recommends
tions of Committee
on the Formation
of New District
WORK STARTS SOON
Action on Municipal
Water System Laid
Over for Week

Paving of the streets Of Blackfoot
Is to be speeded ahead as result Of
the meeting Of council Tuesday
night. The report Of the improve
ment committee on the excluding OF
several portions of the city from the
improvement district In order to per-
NIT the bond issue covering the costs
was read and its recommendations
accepted. The report states that
bonds at this time cannot be issued
in excess Of $48,000 for drainage and
intersections and as the original
plans for the improvement district
include. $4,000 for the cost of
sewers 1t would leave only approxi-
nately $4,000 for paving Of street
intersections which would be en-
tirely inadequate.
Therefore the committee recon-
mended that the paving district be
cut down to include North Main
street from the end of the present
paving north to the city limits;
South Broadway from the end Of the
present paving south to the city lin
it's; West Bridge street from the end
of the present paving west to the
city limits; East Bridge street from
the end Of the present paving east
to Shilling; East Judicial from the
end Of the present paving to East
Shilling; South Shilling from East
Bridge street south to the Miners
ditch. A system of surface drainage
is to be provided for North Main,
West Bridge, South Broadway. and
South Shilling which will eliminate
the construction Of additional sew
erage to carry off the surplus drain
age.
The question of municipal water
works was laid over until the next
meeting when report OF the esti-
mated cost will be presented. y
The cost of flushing the city
streets came up for some discussion
when it was found that the water
company was planning on charging
80 cents thousand gallons for the
water Sprinkling wagons cost the
city only $40 a month and the coun-
Gil was under the opinion that bet
ter rate could be secured. The city
clerk was instructed to make in
quiries of the public utilities COM
mission concerning the charges.
A communication from the city
librarian was read in which it was
stated that salary of $75 month
was entirely too low and that raise
should be granted. After some argu-
ment and discussion council referred
the matter to the library board who
will be asked to confer with the
school board in an effort to have the
schools !, pay a part of librarians
salary.
Council instructed the chief of po-
lice to confer with the county physi-
clan and under his direction see that
all moving picture theaters, pool
halls and other places where the pub
lie congregates properly ventilate
their places of business.

CHURCHES JOIN
IN EVANGELISM
Denominations Emphasize This
Phase of lnterchurCh Pro.
gram In March.
SEEK NEW MEMBERS EASTER
With Only one-thlrd Of People En-
rolled. Yearly Increases Are Slight.
"Save America II We Get To-
gether," Says Eddy.

Evangelism Is the keynote for |
March in the plans of the 80 Protes-
tant denominations which are cooper
ating in the Interchurch World Move
ment. Through the weeks until Easter
ministers and church members will
make a special effort to win new con
verts.
The campaign will eliminate in q
united. nationwide effort to bring
new members into the church on
Easter Sunday, which has been desig-
mated as "Join-the-Church Sunday" by
the UNCONVENTIONAL leaders who
mapped out the evangelistic program
Findings in the interchurch sur
veys, showing shortcomings in the
evangelistic field, prove the need for
an increased evangelistic emphasis in
all denominations, according to lead
ers. In Ohio, it is estimated ON the
basis of early reports from the sur
vey, hardly one-third Of the people
are church members. In many com
munities the percentage, ascertained
by careful study Of church records,
falls far below this figure. One com
munity has been found in southern
! Ohio in which only two per cent of
| the 1000 people belong to any church
The countrywide situation has been
FOUND similar to that in Ohio. Mil
/ lions of people are not reached by the
church. Despite this wide field for
work. it has been found, in addition.
the churches are gaining but little in
membership from year to year. All
Protestant churches combined in
creased their membership only ESQ, 900
last year-one new member for each
81 old members.
Sherwood Eddy, widely regarded as
one Of the worlds leading evangelists
commented upon these conditions in a
stirring address on evangelism before
Ohio ministers at the recent interde-
nominational conference In Columbus
Il came back from work In the
Orient to find the United States not
evangelical" said Eddy. THE church
today is not winning the manhood of
the country. There is a desperate
need for evangelism in America
There never was more opportunity
than now. We can save America II
we get together for the task"

CHURCH SURVEY THAT
SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

rs q church survey worth while?
L Here are some facts from CO.
lumbus that speak for themselves:
A Methodist Episcopal minister
in populous residence district
of the Capital City checked over
the cards showing the religious
affiliations of the people of his
neighborhood as soon as the house
toulouse religious census was com.
pleted
He found 200 families members
of out-of-town Methodist churches
or expressing a preference for this
minister's church, although out-of-
town members Of other denomina-
tions On a Sunday three weeks
after the census was finished near
ly 100 persons from these families
joined the church by letter
The minister is now working
on 800 families which he found
without church affiliations and ex-
poets 200 more new members from
this group soon.
