the alleged confession of Joseph

Many people unpustly criticize the
postoffice, explained Mr.. Ford Mon
day, for the failure of the packages to
reach their destination promptly when
the sender is at fault Packages ad-
dressed with pencils are fortunate if
they reach their destination, according
to Mr.. Ford, particularly during the
Christmas mail jam. Attention by ev-
cry person to every package they send
by wrapping them securely and @ad
dressing them plainly will do much to
prevent dissatisfaction with the post
office during Christmas holidays.

LOWER FREIGHT
! RATES ARE YET .
UNHEARD FROM
No Response Received
From Appeals to Rail-
road Company but Ex-
pect Relief Shortly.

No direct replies have been yeceiv-
ed from the numerous kilograms that
have been sent to Union Pacific Off
cials relative to the reduction in the
freight rates on Idaho baled hay to
middle western shipping points. How
ever it is believed that the appeal is
being given careful consideration by
railroad officials and local sentiment
favors the belief that lower rate will
be granted
Most of the hay in the valley remains
unsold. The mild fall has permitted
livestock men to go much farther into
the feeding season without a hay re-
serve than is ordinarily the case thus
diminishing the local demand for feed
and cutting materially in the normal
consumption in the state. Prices have
been weak in the face of so little de-
mand and most farmers have deter
mined to hold onto their hay at all
costs.
w. P. Bales, local distributor, has re-
ceived word indicating that lower
freight rate on hay will probably be
granted. He expressed the belief Mon
day that 50 per cent cut in the present
rate was not at all unlikely. This
would mean a $7o5 rate to middle
western points and would permit the
disposal of Idaho hay at fair profit
in Kansas City and Omaha markets.

ALMOST SURE
Appropriation Pending
and Likely to Pass for
Reclamation of Black
Canyon Project.

Reclamation prospects for the
Black Canyon never looked brighter
than they do today, according to
those who are familiar with the pro-
gress made in reclaiming the second
and third units of this big desert area
lying between the Boise and Payette
rivers. In congress now as a por-
ton of the appropriation bill is an
item which will provide for the con-
struction of a diversion dam on the
Payette river at cost somewhere
between $70O0OO and one million dol
lars. Funds for this work will come
from the oil land leasing bill passed
by the recent session of congress and,
it is understood, are now available
for that work.
The appropriation is recommended
and it is believed here that it will be
passed without great difficulty since
it is in no wise dependent upon the
greater amounts sought for the big
reclamation program fostered by the
Western States Reclamation associa-
ton. While the dam is for diversion
purposes only, the dam will be 90 fee,
in height and four miles Of concrete
ditch is essential to get the water
away from the Payette river.
