Strong Picture at Liberty.

All wool and a yard wide is "Be-
ware of Strangers" There has been
no cheating in this sensation, every
phase Of "gold coast" swindling has
been given a whirl. The actors take
the part of the recently exposed In
ternational Crime Syndicate. Walter

daily news. The yarn is good. 1t
concerns a weak son Of wealth and a
strong revengeful daughter of the
working class. The former embezzles
bank funds, the latter suffers in con-
sequence of the crash. Both eventual
ly fall into the crime web, the girl to
wreak vengeance, the man the victim
of his original peculation. Popular
interest attaches to the film. Crook
ed pool room and blackmail are fea-
tured; their delineation makes clear
many news story, that otherwise
would be vague to lay readers sAn all

Foreign Food Checks

The national food administration
for relief in Europe have devised a
novel plan by which checks for food
are issued to those in this country who
desire to assist relatives in European
countries. Heretofore, cash has
been sent, and the recipients were un-
able to buy food with the money.
Now food drafts may be sent in any
amount, and when presented at one of
the American food supply depots may
be exchanged for provisions in the
amount called for by the draft. The
First National bank of this city has
been authorized to issue these drafts.

Narrow Escape.

Will Rynearson had a narrow es-
cape from being electrocuted while
moving hay derrick from the Fisher
place to the Lindgren farm on Mon
day. The derrick's cable caught ON
the power wires, and Mr. Rynearson,
who held one end of the cable, was
burned on the palms of his hands and
his face turned blue from the current
that entered his body. The contact of
the wires quickly burned the cable in
two, released Mr.. Rynearson from his
perious position and undoubtedly
saved his life.

CANYON CANAL DAM IS
DAMAGED
Ice Tears Off Covering-Meet-
ing of Land Owners to
Consider Situation.

All water users and land owners
of the Emmett Irrigation District arr
requested to meet at the Commercial
Club rooms on Saturday, February
2, at 2 p. m, to consider ways ane
means to finance the repairs neces'
sary to put the Canyon canal diver
sion dam in shape to deliver water this
season. The directors have a plar
they wish to submit to the land own
ers.
The run Of ice and high water last
week stripped the dam of its covering
and tore out the cribbing on the down
stream side that was placed to pro-
tect the structure from the back
wash of the stream. Unless this crib
bing is replaced it is only question
of q few weeks until the whole struc-
ture will be undermined and collapse.
Any repairs made must be accomplish
ed at once before the spring freshets
arrive. It is the opinion Of those who
have examined the structure that the
dam cannot stand through another
high water period without replacing
the cribbing washed out and recover
ing the structure.
The engineer estimates the cost of
these repairs at $4,000, and since the
board of directors are powerless un-
der the law to make this emergency
levy, it will be necessary to call a
special election. The delay incident
to such a procedure will be fatal to
completing the repairs in time to
save the structure from the spring
floods and the board of directors of
the district and water users have
worked out plan to finance the work
so that repairs can begin at once, but
desire the cooperation and assistance
of the land owners before putting it
into effect.
This question is vital to every water
user In the district, so be sure and be
at the meeting. If the dam breaks
during the spring floods there is no
possible way to repair it or secure a !
water supply in time to save this
years crops on the land served by the
bitches it supplies.
By order of the Board of Directors +
and request of Water Users Associa-
tion.

EMMETT OUTCLASSED
BY BOISE
Better Teamwork, Stronger In
reference, Surer Basket
Throwing Bring Victory

Emmett went down to defeat Mon
day night in a hotly contested bas-
ketball game with Boise. Superior
teamwork, stronger interference and
greater skill in basket throwing were
deciding factors in Boise's victory.
The score was 43 to 80.
The playing was clean and spirit
ed. At no time was Boise in danger,
and with their machine-like team work
their strong interference and their
skill in throwing baskets, the wonder
is their score did not run higher.
Their group formations were new to
Emmett followers of the sport and
got results. Emmett had difficulty
in breaking up these formations and
once Boise had the ball, it was al
most a certainty that another brace
Of points would be added to their
score. x
Emmett was slow, and their style
of open play was broken up almost
at will by the strong interference of
the Boise guards. In the last half,
the team was weakened by Harry Full
Ter being injured in collision with
another player, and he was forced to
quit, his nose having been fractured.
The score:

Goals-Brown 2, Cochran 9, Par
