The Southeastern Idaho Fair as
sociation, formed in 1902 passes int
history in 1920 by the formation of 6
new organization known as the Bing
ham County Farm Bureau Incor
porated.
When the association was formed
In 1902 it was considered a good
thing to show the products of the
country so that people living here
could see what was being raised or
other farms than their own and tC
show visitors from other places what
could be grown. For the first few
years the exhibits were a revelation
to the local people themselves, but
this gradually wore off and they lost
the interest whic hthe exhibits al
first aroused.
The, Objects of the Fair
It was generally considered by all
that the annual exhibits would have
direct effect in making a demand
for farming lands, and that the
owner Of lands would profit by find
ing his market improved if he wished
to sell, and it would stimulate busi-
ness and improve the market for his
produce if he wanted to farm his
land. lin either case it was con-
sidered benefit to the land owner
to operate the fair.
A WOman's Mistake
But peoples ideas change so by a
gradual fading away or by different
stating of them, that different under
standings arise. The young lady who
has stomach trouble and was advised
not to drink tea or coffee at all, but
to drink a glass of hot water half an
hour before each meal, started out
all right, but soon forgot that the
doctor had forbid her to drink any,
thing with her meal, and she got to
taking. the hot water just before eat
ing, and then changed over to the
regular cup of tea or coffee with her
meal and finally condemned the
doctor because following his advice
was not improving her condition. In

PLAN IRRIGATION
ON PRESTO BENCH
Petition Filed For Crea-
ton of New
Project
CANAL TAPS SNAKE

The Presto Bench irrigation dis
trict is a new project that has filed a
petition for it's creation. Cotton &
Wilson of Idaho Falls are it's en-
gineers, and Otto McCutcheon is the
attorney. 1t contemplates the use OF
1000 acres on the bench, to be ir-
rigated from a canal tapping Snake
river near Idaho Falls.
Three Ways to Supply Water
A survey and estimates made
several years ago indicated that
there were three means of supplying
water for the project. One was to
secure an exchange with the recla-
nation department and send their
own water on down Snake river, and
take an equal amount in the Black
foot reservoir, bring it down Black
foot river to the locality Of Cedar
creek and then carry it by canal and
siphon across the river at Rattle
snake. Another means was to build
a power dam at Blackfoot hollow,
about seven miles above Wolverine,
and take out water at the power dam
IOf CHlS project.
Former Estimate $29,519
An estimate was made for the
pumping plant to water 1900 acres
lying in wedge-shaped tract to the
eastward from the Tolmie ranch two
miles long. The lift of water was to
be made with electric pumps, a
height Of 1S1 " feet thru pipes lying
on slant 1880 feet up the hill. A
800 horse power motor would drive
the water thru a wood pipeline thirty
inches in diameter. The pipe was
to be made of staves, put together
on the ground and buried below the
frost line. The water right was to
consist of four acre-feet for use on
each acre per season, estimated at
that time to cost $29,519 installed
ready for pumping. This sum was

changes in estimates have been made

Gives Interesting
Address on Game

In an interesting address at the
high school auditorium Monday
evening, A. B. Hulit, manager Of the
Idaho Game Breeders association,
spoke on the preservation of wild
game, fowls and beasts. A large
audience heard the address which
was enthusiastically received.
Mr.. Hulit spoke of the fast dis
appearance of wild life from this
country and stated that something
would have to be done to preserve
the few remaining species. He told
of the plan of the game breeders
association to form units thruout the
state where game would be bred, not
only to preserve it for posterity but
for the financial rewards which
would result.
1t is expected that the breeding Of
wild game will take an added i'm
petus as a result of Mr.. Hulit's ad-
dress.

to which the child answered.: II don't
know" and we all started to talk,
Mr.. Jaffe, the child's parents and I,
about the child's future, when all of
a sudden we notice that Samuel gets
up from the sofa and goes over to
the window ledge singing pensively
and quietly a Jewish ditty. Seeing
that and after hearing what was told
to me, I have construed in my mind
the great drama whose seat is the
little body of Samuel.
Samuel is little, thin and young.
But his brain and mind are large.
Samuel has already studied a great
deal of Talmud, and many other
Jewish works, and he remembers
them literally by heart. He is above
everything else, person gifted with
an enormous memory and strong
powers of logic. His new creations
of chess combinations and his manner
of playing show it very clearly, and
have noticed another instance, when
his parents changed an earlier reso-
luton and little Samuel hearing of
it simply remarked: 81 said so yester-
day." Nothing else did the little
child say, and yet one could see very
clearly the great pains of his soul
which understands better, knows bet
ter and feels deeper than his environ
ment. But being young in years
and small in stature he is considered
as a child.
It is almost the tragedy Of many a
great man, who has suffered so much
because the surrounding world was
too foolish to understand. :. =
P11&
they were struggling for power and
recognition, while our Samuel is lit
tie and weak, and understands his
position and is wise enough to under
stand that people who are older have
more experience and deserve more
respect.
Such is our little Samuel. He loves
his parents, he obeys them. But with
strangers he is nervous and impa-
tient. He answers questions prompt
ly, and politely, but not fully. To
obtain clear statement from him
is at times even harder than from the
most inveterate diplomat.
Little Samuel's life is a tragedy,
almost the tragedy of his own race
and people. And it is real tragedy
for both the little genius and the race
to which he belongs that so much
ability and real inspiration which
this worlds wonder possesses, be
wasted in game.
Is there really no danger that our
little Samuel will play out his gen.
JUS?
We have so many philanthropists
in America, who support with an
open hand every musical wonder
child, albeit it is not always so that
musical wonder children become
great musicians. Is there no Jewish
philanthropists who should take a
kindly interest in this greatest Won
der of human history?
