TRICKY RIVER
ADDS ANOTHER
To LONG LIST
Howard Evans, Gem
District Farmer, Backs
Car Off Ferry to Death
Monday Evening at
Homedale.

Snake river added another to its lon.
list of victims Monday evening abou,
9 o'clock when Edward Eveans, a
prosperous farmer of the Gem Distric,
backed his Chalmers roadster off the
ferry into the middle of the river.
According to eye witness of the
tragedy, Mr.. Evans had evidently been
asked to back his machine toward the
rear of the boat in order that the trip
might be expedited and better land
ing be made. Because of the low
water in the river, the practive of hav-
ing cars fairly we'll back ON the boat
seems to be general. In some way,
Mr.. Evans speeded up his engine and
the machine, under considerable head
way. broke over the blocks and
through the chain on the boat into
the river. That the car was going at
a speed approaching its maximum in
reverse gear when it left the ferry
boat is evidenced by the fact that it
went into the river in an upright po-
sition and stood on the river bed with
the auto top just above the water sur
face.
According to information available
here, the accident occurred we'll OUT
in the river. No row boat was avail.
able on the ferry and the trip had to
be completed before any attempt could
be made to rescue Mr.. Evans. When
the row boat finally reached the scene
of the accident, the top was torn from
the car but no trace could be found
of the body of Mr.. Evans. Mr.. Evans
was not seen after the car went into
the water. 1t is not known here
whether Mr.. Evans was able to swim.
One of the peculiar circumstances
noted in connection with the drown
ing was the fact that the automobile
light continued to burn for some time
after the car went into the water, thus
making its investigation easy.
Mr.. Evans had, during the afternoon,
been in Caldwell on buying trip.
He was enroute home when the &C
cident occurred. He is the son of R.
M. Evans of Weiser, the latter having
a wide circle of acquaintance here.
He was for many years a farmer in
the Fargo district. He returned to
his Weiser home only a few days
prior to the Monday accident after
having visited his son in the Gem dis
trict for several days.
The drowned man, who was about
~ years of age, is survived by a wife
and one son.

Sufficient Water
for Only 30 Days
DEER FLAT SUPPLY BEING
RAPIDLY USED, RESERVE
EXCEEDS LAST YEARS

Water supply in both Deer Flat and
Arrow Rock will last only another
so days according to the present rate
of consumption and the amount now
available in the two big storage plants
of the Boise-Payette project. Figures
Monday show that Deer Flat had 49,
435 acre feet of water of which some.
what less than 10000 feet cannot be
drained from the reservoir and hence
is not available. While this is ap-
proximately $4,000 acre feet more
than was stored in Deer Flat reservoir
on the corresponding day of yea,
ago, the present rate of consumption
is 200 acre feet per day, thus indicat-
ing that at the ordinary rate of con.
sumption, the reservoir has just
enough to last 80 days beginning with
last Monday.
Arrow Rock, Monday, contained
sos feet, about $1,000 acre feet more
than was stored there year ago on
the same date. Consumption from
Arrow Rock is not definitely known
but 5000 acre feet are being delivered
daily to Boise project users and in ad-
dition, the reclamation service is oil
course, supplying additional water for
supplemental water rights. The water
stored in Arrow Rock will probably
last somewhat longer than 30 days.
No water is being run into the Deer
Flat reservoir at present except over
flow by farmers in the immediate vi.
cinity of the reservoir, an amour,
which probably will not exceed the
natural normal losses from the big
pond.
This is regarded as an unusually
favorable water year No losses OF
consequence are considered likely tc
occur because water will not be avail.

Cops Gather Many
in Boulevard Haul
TRAFFIC ORDINANCE v1oLAr.
ORS DRAW LECTURE FROM

Smith" and doe" were popular
names on the police record at the city
hall Monday morning when Police
Judge w. S. Maxey was confronted
with number Of automobile enthu-
siasts who had been reached by the
long arm of the city traffic ordinance
and asked to appear before Mr.. Max
ey's court at 10 a. m. Monday morn
ing. The autoists were arrested Sum-
day evening on Cleveland boulevard
for neglecting to heed the warning of
red lanterns hung out by employts Of
the Warren Construction company to
keep off the newly graded streets.
Several complaints were made by
the paving concern. asserting that the
auto traffic was interfering with the
progress Of paving since the cars tore
up the freshly graded street before
the paving could be put down, thus
necessitating a lot of extra work.
Two fine were collected on the spit
from out. of town tourists and num-
Der of residents and bystanders had a
lot of fun watching each succeeding
motorist fall into the net But po-
lice Judge Maxey exercised one of the
preogatives of his court and. after
lecturing the victims, turned them
loose. Fines collected from outsiders
were refunded.
Two speedsters, who were enjoy
ing race on the new boulevard pave.
ment were pinched and fines assessed
against them. 1t is understood that
further infringements will be prose-
cuted to the limit.

Water Users Vote
Both Drainage and
Development Work

Instead of the original plan of as
sessment of 50 cents per. acre of the
Boise-Payette project lands for drain
age purposes 500 members of the Pay
ette- Water Users association
last week at a Nampa meeting decided
to asses all project land 81 pc acre,
hal fto be devoted to drainage and the
other half of the resulting funds to
go for enlargement of the upper pro-
ject canals.
This decision was virtually a COM
promise. Drainage is required in GER
tain sections of the lower project
while farmers above Deer Flat were
not particularly interested in this plan.
About 100000 will be available
through the assessment for work on
the project. Verbally, reclamation
officials have assured representatives
of the water users association that
the reclamation service would co.
operate with the association in the COL
lection of the assessment. This means,
if the plan is finally agreed upon and
worked out as agreed upon, that water
users will have water shut off until the
assessment Is paid.
Arrangements have already been
made to use reclamation drainage ma
chinery. now employed in the River
side district at nominal cost to the
association. Tentative plans for the
enlargement work on the upper project
canals call for the expenditure of the
$4,000 available for this purpose on
the Mora canal, now not large enough
to carry sufficient volume of water.
1t is freely recognized that the $4,000
available for this purpose will not be
sufficient to more than begin the work
of charging canals but the work will
be undertaken with a view of perman-
ent improvements.

fact that the present sheriff there held
the same office in 1918 when Barthol-

SALT HAS EDGE
ON OTHER FOES
Of PLANT: LIFE
Experiments at Univer-.
sity Farm Indicate
Sodium Chloride Most
Destructive of Alkalies
in Boise Valley.

Sodium Chloride, plain, ordinary
everyday salt, is the most destruc-
tive Of Boise valley alkalies, accord
ing to E. B. Hitchcock, who has been
conducting experiments at the Uni
versity of Idaho experimental farm
near Caldwell to determine this point
and the greatest amount in the soil
which will permit plant growth. Thus
far, experiments have been confined
to apple and prune trees on soils
whose alkali concentration is definite
ly established.
While the experiments are not COM
.plete, results thus far indicate that
salt is the. greatest alkali enemy of
Boise valley fruit trees-and prob
ably other crops as we'll. No effort
is being made at this time to deter
mine treatments for soil to neutralize
this and other alkalies, including sod
ium arbonate-black alkali. This
work will be taken up after the pres
ent series of experiments is COM
pleted.
Mr.. Hitchcock, however, has been
doing, under farm bureau auspices,
considerable work with slick spots"
in various sections of the Boise val
ley. He has obtained some surpris-
ing results through the application
of sulphur, not only to these spots
but the ordinary alfalfa land. Farm
ers report an increased yield aggre-
eating four tons per acre of alfalfa
following the use of this fertilizer
whose value has only been known
during recent years. Land plaster
has also produced excellent results
Lauds Sweet Clover.
Mr.. Hitchcock is a sweet clover
enthusiast, asserting that this legume,
usually regarded as weed and
pest, is unquestionably the best plant
to reclaim slightly alkali soils where
grain crops and other plants will
not grow.
Many farmers are prejudiced
against this plant" Mr.. Hitchcock
said Saturday, "but l am convinced
that its good points far outweigh its
Objectionable ones. l cannot under
stand how men can see it growing
along canal banks year after year
when bordering fields are not pro-
ductfve without realizing that it can
be used to get that land in condition
for other crops. In northern Idaho,
where cut over lands are being put
under cultivation, farmers are now
frequently resorting to it to get things
started. And they are highly pleased
with results which they obtain.
The University of Idaho on the
Moscow farm is conducting a series
of sweet clover silage experiments
which should prove of inestimable
value to Idaho farmers. l am Ger
tain that sweet clover is destined to
become justly popular crop in all
sections of this state"
Mr.. Hitchcock has resigned his
position with the University of Idaho
extension department to enter bust
ness for himself. His work on the
experimental farm here will be car
ried on by Ray Neidig, an assistant
in the agricultural chemistry depart
ment of the University of Idaho.

Referring to the custer of the
socialist assemblymen. Speaker Sweet
said:
During all these years, with their

morning. April /, when we took part
in making legislative history.
81 cannot let the opportunity pass
in commenting on that momentous
occasion without referring to a re-

was, from which you must all take
great comfort, because you 1oresaw
the inevitable conflict between an
