Splendid Record

The continuous and abundant sup
ply of water in the Canyon canal this
season has resulted in record breaking
crops on the bench and Slope and an
unparalleled degree of satisfaction to
the water users. This condition is
undoubtedly due to the vigilance and
untiring devotion to duty of Super
intendent Mclean and his assistants,
coupled with the earnest cooperation
of the directors and water users of
the district. Outside of few inti-
mate friends, probably few know of
the strain that Mr. Mclean has been
under the last few months in provid-
ing an adequate water supply. Night
and day he has kept in close touch
with every section of the canal and
his watchfulness and faithfulness has
been rewarded. 1t is record to be
proud of.

SEPTEMBER 20 SET FOR
OPENING SCHOOLS
First Grade Must Wait for Com.
pletion of New Building to
Take Up Studies.

The school board Monday night def
initely decided upon Monday, Septem-
Der 20, as the opening day of the city
schools. Because Of the delay in COM
pleting the new High school building
there will not be room for the First
grade classes, and these must wait
until the new building is completed,
which will be in the early part of Oc-
tober.
The non-completion Of the new
building presents a difficult prob
lem to the school board. The best So
luton seems to be the one adopted
and noted above. The "old" buildings
will accommodate all grades except
the two First grade classes. The 9TH
er alternative was to admit the First
graders and eliminate the High school
classes until the new building is COM
pleted. The latter would necessitate
'laying off" of eight teachers on full
pay, while by eliminating the First
grade only two teachers will be idle.
The new building will be ready for
use within three weeks after the open
ing day, and then all grades will be
taken care of. The High school class
IS will occupy their old quarters in the
building until the new build
ng is finished.

ANOTHER FIRE
FROM SLACK
Early Discovery of Blaze in Laundry
Coal House Stops Damage.

An alarm of fire late Saturday night
called the fire department to the EN-
NETT laundry, where fine coal in the
coal house was ablaze. It's early dis
covery and the prompt response of the
fire fighters undoubtedly prevented
serious conf1agration.
When the fire department arrived,
the heap Of, slack coal was burning
briskly and the corrugated iron wall
next to the coal was red with heat.
The cause is believed to have been
spontaneous combustion. The dam
age was small. The fire in the coal
shed of the Farmers Cooperative Ex-

lieved to have originated from the

WATER IS Low AT THE
LAKES
Emmett Men Investigate Condi-
tions in Effort to Increase
Supply.

Superintendent MacLean of the
Canyon canal and Herb Haylor, sec
retary, went to Payette Lakes Tues
day to endeavor to increase the water
supply in the river so as to relieve the
situation in the lower end of the val
ley.
The two gentlemen returned yester-
day and report that the water in the
lake is unusually low and that the in
crease is limited to another inch. This
increase was obtained by opening up
section of the dam built there last
season to impound the water.
While all of the irrigation canals
IN the valley are running at low
stage, no suffering is reported from
this end of the valley. Further down,
however, the shortage is being serious
ly felt. The additional inch secured
will relieve conditions to some extent.

During the fire at the coal sheds on

day, two automobiles ran over the
fire hose. One young man living in
town was fined $25, and the other, an
employe of the VanDeusen Brothers,
is known and will be assessed a like
amount when apprehended. This
should be lesson to drivers of all

when being used for fire purposes is
liable to break it and cause serious
