HER HEATS WISH.

Six-year-old Margaret often played
with Nellie neighbours little girl.
One rainy day the two were just
starting across the clean kitchen floor
at Margaret's home when the latter's
mother seeing their muddy shoes,
headed them off and sent them out to
play on the porch. After a moment
Nellie remarked:
my mother don't care how much |
run over the kitchen floor"
There was quite a long interval of
silence. Then Margaret said:
81 wish had a nice dirty mother
like you'e got Nellie" Galveston

A THOROUGH TEST


The test OF time is the test that
counts.
Doans Kidney Pills have made their
reputation by effective action.
The following case is typical.
Maysville residents should be con-
WINGED.
The testimonys is CONFERENCE.-The
proof complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ig-
nored.
Mrs. John Burns. W. Second St.,
Maysville, says: 81 was subject to
severe spells of backache and other
kidney trouble. They would come on
every three or six months and there
were times when / was confined to
bed and rendered helpless. The quick
and decided benefit / received from
Doan's Kidney Pills was wonderful.
l have never had such severe attacks
since"
NO TROUBLE SINCE
Nearly thirteen years later. Mrs.
Burns said: II have the same good
words Of praise for Doan's Kidney
Pills today as ever. l haven't need
ed a kidney medicine since I took
them"
Price Coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Burns had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

AN EAGLE AND A
GOAT IN COMBAT.

THE writer once witnessed fight
between a golden eagle and a full
grown mountain goat. This fight
took place on high divide In the Bull
River country in British Columbia"
says Charles S. Smith in an article in
Boys Life for November entitled 1.-THE
Rocky Mountain Sheep at Home"
Il was stalking the goat at the time
for the purpose Of taking some photo
graphs as close up as could get, and
was working my may cautiously from
rock to rock keeping concealed from
the goat, who was feeding on a little
fiat space on the top Of the mountain.
AS | peered around the projecting
point of crag saw the goat sudden
ly wheel and look toward a small
point sticking up on top of the ridge
and There, coming over the top of the
point was very large golden eagle,
flying just agove the surface of the
ground and coming directly at the
goat. The goat stood with head low
cred and when the eagle came within
about ten feet of him, it suddenly
swooped into the air about fifteen or
twenty feet high, turned completely
over and, dropped like a plummet at
the goat. / wondered what the goat
would do, but evidently he had 1t all
figured out for as the eagle descended,
he reared on his hind feet, stood
tsraight up and slashed his head from
side to side. his horne describing
circle in the air, their sharp points
upward; the old eagle evidently knew
better than to try to drop on a thing
Of that sort or to try to seize It, SO he
caught himself In his swift descent
and volplaned over the side Of the
ridge; here over deep, dark canyon
no 'circled several times, the goat
standing watching until he disappear
ed over the shoulder OF of the noun
TAIN" a.

In many parts Of India the natives
depend for food upon the blossoms of
the bassia-tree. They do not cook the
flowers, but make good meal of them
raw. These blossoms are described as
sweet and sickly in odor and taste.

The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1920-02-06
Approval by Secretary Lane of Proposed New
Contract and Application of Canal Com
panies for Storage Water Makes
Building of Dam Almost Sure
L DISTRICTS FAVOR THE PROJECT
and Blackfoot Ditch
Companies Apply for 100000
Acre Feet of Water

With the approval of Secretary
Lane of the entative contract be-
tween the United States and the COM
panies interested in the storage and
utilization of the waters of the Snake
river and the application by the
several companies of the district for
storage waters the construction OF
the American Falls reservoir is prac-
tically assured.
Canal companies are meeting daily
and it is expected that very few OF
the seventy-five or eighty companies
who would benefit by the dam will
not approve of the project.
The proposed dam at American
Falls will be one OF the largest irri-
cation reservoirs in the United
States and it's construction will as
sure southern Idaho Of the largest
irrigation district inithe world.
The contract which is now being
ratified by the canal companies pro-
vides for the construction of dam
of capacity of from 100000 acre
feet to 100000 the cost of con-
struction decreasing with the in
crease in size. The contract pro-

Non Partisan Paper
Changes Editors

w. G. Scholtz, editor Of the non
partisan league paper, the Free
Press, at Nampa, has resigned, and
w. v. Wiegand, from the labor paper
The Herald, at Pocatello takes his
place.
Mr.. Scholtz is the man who a year
ago was carrying on notorously
successful scheme of high finance
with the other stockholders in The
Free Press, and unsuccessfully put it
over them in electing officers to
govern the corporation. His oppon-
ents kept up their fight to have the
control of the property in the hands
of those who put up the money to
equip and operate 1t, and we are not
informed whether the present change
Is due to the fight they made or to
Mr.. Scholtz' own choice in the mat
ter. He is accredited with giving
out an interview in which he stated
that it was at financial sacrifice
that he had remained on the editor
ial job. If this is true he has not
found newspaper work so profitable
as something else promises to be.
The change of editors took place at
Nampa on Tuesday morning.
