wages they want The problem of the farmer is the lost of labor rather than shortage, they declare. Woods men who have been working in the logging camps during the winter are expected to go on the farms in the summer. Besides, say state officials, the annual back to the land" migra- ton from the cities should help to relieve the labor situation. Men who have been lured from the rural dis tricts and towns by the higher wages offered in shop and factory begin to long for outdoor life when the warm day come, they say, and little coax 'ng i- needed to make them exchange their work on their bench or machine for open spaces of field and meadow.

MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO
CONSERVE WINTER WATER

Murray BroOkman, Vice President
of the Idaho Irrigation Company. was
in Shoshone the first of the week con-
fering with Fred W. Gooding. as presi-
dent of the Big Wood River Reservoir
& Canal Co, and others. in regard to
business affairs concerning the water
situation.
Mr.. Murray is bending all his ener-
gies at present to provide means for
storing all the flow Of the Big Wood
river during the season in the reser-
voir and not allow a large percent of
the food water to be wasted as has
been the case often in the past. His
first step is to assist the holders or
old water rights on the Big Wood
river who are depending on the river
flow for domestic water during the
winter months to have wells drilled
this summer and fall so they viii not
need the river water except for irri-
cation purposes. Heretofore the Idaho
Irrigation Company has allowed enough
water through the Magic dam all winter
to supply these claims, but with wells
to furnish domestic water there viii
be no need for the river water out of
the irrigation season and all the river
flow will be held for the next irrigating
season. 1t is estimated that $4,000 acre
feet or more of water will be saved in
this way.
Under Mr.. Brookman's plan the Irri-
cation Company will engage the drills
and assist in financing the settlers who
so desire, so that the wells will be put
down at cost this season and the gates
at the magic dam will be closed tight
the first of September and stay closed
until the irrigation season of 1921.
The new management of the Idaho !
Irrigation Co. has put the affairs on a !
strictly economical business basis.
spending money to conserve water and
doing away with all superfluous loads.
For instance it is an open question :
whether the old river rights /,
on the Big Wood could force
winter delivery of water or not
but should the Irrigation Company
close the gates of the dam without
previous arrangements with the old
settlers the settlers could obtain an
injunction and throw the matter into
court Pending final settlement the
would be obliged to allow
the winter run and the Carey Act
settlers would loose this water two or
three years and the Irrigation Co. spend
a lot of money. BY making arrange
ments for the wells. everybody will be
and costly litigation saved.
Surveys are being run and estimates
made to acertain the cost and advisa-
bility Of running canal from the Mil
ner dam on Snake river to furnish
food water from the Snake River for
1 part Of this project. Data is being ;
TO show how much food D.,
water has been available for the past :,
s years.
The men now in charge Of the Idaho :
irrigation Company. and the present
,fficials of the Big Wood River Reser
-oir G Canal Company. are alive to the :,
leeds and interests OF this project :,
nd as efficient as they make 'em. :
together to give this part Of :
irrigated Idaho as perfect water !,
light as there is to be had. and 1t is r
ot at all unlikely that the present
Tater shortage viii prove blessing -

gree that the possible blessing Is In

that Mr.. A. F. Dickens had a
freak Of nature in a PIG On his

two perfectly good feet on each Of
MS front legs and the typo made a
mistake and made it read that the
pig had six feet on each front leg
and the proofreader overlooked
1t and allowed it to get into print.
