INDIANS OPPOSE
NEW RESERVOIR
Cattle Business Endanp.
cred By New Recla-
nation Project. Il.

While much has been said abou
the proposed American Falls reser
voir and the important part II viii
play in the development of southern
Idaho little thought seems to have
been given to the fact that If the
reservoir is built it will rob the Fort
Hall Indians Of some very valuable
lands and practically kill the cattle
industry. which is the principal bust.
nes of the Indians. The proposed
reservoir will put under water nearly
all the lands which are now valuable
to the Indians in their cattle in
dustry.
R. w. Dixey one of the largest
cattlemen of the reservation was
seen by Republican representative
Saturday and he confirmed the report
that the Indians are opposed to the
reservoir "The cattle industry" he
said, is our biggest business, and we
depend to a great extent on the pas
ture and hay from the river bottom
lands. When this is gone our in
dustry Is gone. People can realize
what the business amounts to when
they know that each year we winter
some 5000 head of cattle, not to
mention horses. Horses can winter
on the bottoms with no care; they
are left to rustic for themselves. An
other thing the Indians from the
reservation spend with the mer-
chants of Blackfoot every year some
thing like 100000. Pocatello and
other places are patronized by the
Indians, too. If our cattle industry
is killed these towns are going to lose
a valuable trade"
Prefer Lands to Money
1t is understood that the Indians
have had several meetings over the
matter and have presented their side
Of the question to the government.
They realize, according to Mr.. Dixey,
that the government will pay them
for the lands, but the land is home to
them and they would rather have it
than the money.
Reclamation officials, it is said,
are surprised at the attitude Of the
indians, tho the justice of their
claims is recognized. That the gov
srnment will settle with the Indians
IN satisfactory basis is the belief.
However, it is realized that the only
settlement desired by the Indians is
he retention Of their property.
Treaty agreements between the gov
and the Indians provide that
'uch disputes shall be settled by
referendum. In the case Of the Fort |
Hall Indians the government would |
lave to obtain the signatures of some
80 or 800 property owners before
could settle the matter according |
o treaty. The other alternative
would be condemnation suits aimed
t the property in question.

CAMP PAICN STARTS
AT SUGAR FACTORY
Utah-Idaho Commences
Operations at Local
Factory Next
Week.

The local factory of the Utah
Idaho Sugar company starts the fal
campaign Monday and expects to be
In full operation by the following
Wednesday. according to statement
from the factory Saturday. This IL
somewhat earlier than last year. The
factory at Sugar City is expected to
start at the same time, while the
factories at Idaho Falls and Shelley
will not start until October 1.
The crew at the local factory Is
nearly all recruited, tho the fact that
many of them are inexperienced will
be a handicap at the start. hs
A big run is in sight, the local crop
being large one. The company has
hung up large bonus to be distri-
buted among the employees Of the
factory making the largest run, fig
ured on pro ratio basis, and the
local crew is going after this sum In
earnest.
'Workmen have been busily en-
gagged in making preparations for the
fall run, which are now practically
complete, and things are in good
shape to start operations early next
week.
The Utah-Idaho company reports
that the crop outlook thruout its en-
tire district as favorable, and experts
to harvest approximately a million
tons of beets in the states Of Idaho,
Utah and Washington, which will
mean a distribution of something
like $15,000,000. The company re-
ports the labor situation easier and
they expect to experience no Diff
iculty in securing sufficient help to
operate their factories.

1t is estimated that the average
man loses three days time each year

be avoided by treating every cold as

disease appear. Chamberlain's Cough

be pleased with it's pleasant taste

RAW SILK PRICES
STILL ADVANCING
Far East Markets Firm, with Stocks
Low-Thrown Silk Here Up
25 Gents.

The Yokohama market in raw silk con-
tinues upward and latest cables report
an advance OF 100 yen in one day. Some
business is reported despite the high
prices, and anything that may be called a
bargain is being taken. Stocks in hand
total only $500 bales and none to well as
sorted.
The Shanghai market continues firm,
with strong tendencies and steady buy
ing. Stocks are low, with the finer grades
hard to locate. Even the coarser grades
are not plentiful. The Canton raw silk
market is firm. with contracts being made
for new season silk. Old style raws are
not being quoted any more. but there is a
steadily increasing favor for new style
grades.
European cables report the Milan mar
ket as quiet but firm, with the best grades
of Italian raw silk being quoted around
500 Ira. The Lyons market at present is
in the hands of spectators, and some
business is reported with the German
manufacturers based on franc prices.
The advances in the Yokohama market
continue to force up prices in the local
market here. There is some inquiry, but
buyers are standing aside hoping that the
market will settle to what they consider
a solid basis. Mills are said to be fairly
well supplied with stocks of raw.
Thrown silk is quiet. with prices ad-
vanced about twenty-five cents as a re-
suit of the higher quotations in the raw
market. Throwsters are not urging their
customers to buy at present Tram stocks
are not being quoted nor are spot prices
being quoted by those who are still in the
market on organzine grades.

DYE LEGISLATION
BELIEVED HOPELESS
lrenee du Pont Opposes Wood
Amendment-Textile Men Against
License Provision.

The dye trade is becoming convinced
that neither the Longworth bill nor any
OF the substitutes will be passed by Con-
gress. Many dealers seem to think that
the entire mass of legislation will be
thrown out. Opposition to the proposed
Wood amendment to the Longworth bill
was brought out by Irenee du Pont. of the
Du Pont Dye Company, at hearing
Wednesday He said the Wood amendment.
which merely authorizes customs officials
TO shut out imports of dyes when there
are evidences of unfair trade practices,
would not meet the situation and provided
nothing which is not already covered by
the Clayton act.
Our problem is not unfair competition"
said Mr.. du Pont. There is no use trying
to swim up Niagara Falls. and we will
not try II. think the so-called Chaote
amendment to this bill will meet the situa-
ton about as adequately as anything else
we know of.
THE Germans do not need to resort
to unfair trade practices in order to ruin
us. They can undersell us and put us
out of business by resorting only to the
ordinary commercial competition which
is not regarded as unfair by any law.
That is why we need what may be
called an embargo. That is why we ask
that this first wall be erected for our
protection and behind that q second wall
of a high protective tariff"
The license provision does not meet
with approval among the rank and file.
The dye industry favors it, but the
large consumers. mainly the entire tex
tile trade. are lined UP solidy against 1t.
The country being still at war with
Germany the War Trade Board has ex-
tended the time for filing applications for
the ALLEGATION certificates allowing inn
portations of German dyes until February
15.
