ANNUAL SESSION STATE
GRANGE CLOSED THURSDAY

The twelfth annual session of the
Idaho State Grange passed into his
tory late Thursday night. The con-
Guiding session was given over en-
tirely to the consideration OF resolu-
tons dealing with important prob
lens confronting the nation and state.
Twelve resolutions in all were passed
One OF these resolutions dealing
with reclamation in Idaho, recon-
mends that the state land board re-
woke all rights granted for the irri-
cation of the Big Bruneau project
and that the irrigation development
OF the state be done through the U.
S. government. The resolution is in
part as follows:
Whereas, Plans are under way
for impounding the water of Snake
river for the reclamation OF extern
sive tracts of land in Idaho and GER
tain rights have already been grant
ed the Twin Falls Bruneau Land &
Water company for the segregation
and reclamation of large tracts of
land under the Carey act
And, Whereas, Experience hes
shown by numerous examples In the
state, that such development by pri-
vate capital under the Carey act is
inefficient, unreliable and accompan-
led by grave danger of fraud without
sufficient guarantees either OF an ad-
equate water right or completion OF
the work undertaken.
And, Whereas, We have full con-
hdence in the integrity, ability and
efficiency of the federal reclamation
service. based on their past work
that we favor the development of al
lands in this state by the federal rec
lamation service and urge upon the
state board of land commissioner
that all rights granted the Twin Falls
Bruneau Land & Water company be
revoked"

COAST OVER COBBLE STONES
Sport in Madeira Has Many AdVan.
taGes Over That to Which North
erners Are Accustomed

Cobble stones may not appeal TO the
uninitiated as ideal for cOastlng pur-
poses. but they admirably serve the
purpose. Ii all depends on how steep
Is the hill the cobbles pave. In other
words. 1t isn't the material that makes
the slide" but the pitch of the slope.
Those Of US who are accustomed TO
sliding down snOw-clad hills, or tiny
ascents made slippery by Ice know lit
tie Of the thrill a slide may possess.
For some measure OF the delight In the
sport Is frequently minlmlzed by the
frigid air that rushes past our tingllng
ears and some measure OF the enjoy
ment is entirely lost by the chllls that
grip our shivering bodies.
Imagine-if you can-the thrill OF
coasting down hill so steep that your
sled" files over the cobbles much as
Is would speed over crusted snow or an
Ice glare. Instead of Icy air that al
most chills you to the marrow at the
thought, picture yourself in sprlngtme
garments and famed by summer
breezes.
If you can imagine such a picture
you will have enjoyed at least some
part Of the sport Of coasting In an
island where there Is no snow or Ice
Down the cobble-paved road the sled
flies. For ten minutes you flash along
In breath-taking rush, then you begin
TO grow accustomed to the speed and
the novelty OF the sport and you take
time to look about you. But-like most
other enjoyments-just as you're begin
ming really to enjoy 1t to the utmost
your coasting ends.
Where is this extraordinary slide

longs to Portugal, and lies In the At
lantic ocean, OF the coast OF Morocco

The shell plowed up the earth and
stretched on the ground several men
who were just getting to their feet

Leahy was leaning and snapped It OF
like a stalk OF asparagus. A piece OF
shell struck him in the back and tore
Its way through his chest.
"Good-by, boysl" he said. and his
head sagged forward.
Then It was as II. somewhere In the
universe, an invisible commander had
called. Attention. Captain Leahy
raised his head. With clearing voice
he called the name Of the officer next

A dramatic incident In which a he

He was Francis NJ. Leahy Of Law
renee, Massachusetts. and he had
served In the ranks before he won his
commission. He used to tell OF the
