WORK ON BLACK
CANYON PROJECT
Reclamation Service Is
Busy While First Unit
Progresses Rapidly To-
ward Early Completion

Things are looking up for the Black
canyon. Surveying crews of the
reclamation service are at present at
work on the. Payette river making
surveys looking to the irrigation OF
lands within the Black canyon irriga-
ton district on the Payette river and
Boise river slopes. It is stated by
competent engineers that over $4,000
acres of land on the Boise slope car
be irrigated by gravity ditch from the
Black canyon dam, together with a
large body of land on the Payette
slope.
With the arrival recently of several
cars of cement, work is now going
ahead full blast on the construction
of the Notus canal. No doubt exists,
it is said, but that farmers will re-
ceive water early enough next year
to crop whatever land they may have
ready in the 5000 acres of the first
unit of the. Black canyon.
For time, the inability to get
large shipments Of cement which were
enroute for several weeks from San
Francisco, held up operations on the
Notus canal. Almost every sack Of
cement in Caldwell was drafted for
that use and the town has something
closely approximating cement fam
inc for short time. With the arrival
of several cars of the precious dust
however, work is gorging ahead al
a rapid pace and it is expected that
no further Interruptions will occur.
Sufficient cement is also available
to continue work on the Pickle Butte
bridge and it is reported here that
favorable progress is being made or

 BY BISHOP SHAW
New Orleans Prelate Flaws the Brazen Dress of
 Day

New Orleans, April 16.-Character- lzlng modern "evening or society weddings" as approaching "to the ab0mination of desolation" and con fessing that he "is at a loss to de- scribe the brazen immodesty of dress With which the modern bridal party and their friends offend the ma- jesty of "Him in whose presence the very angels" Rev. John w. Shaw, archbishop of New Orlaens, tonight made public the text of a pastoral lettf which will read Sunday in all 1hurches in this archdiocese. Discussing society weddings which he asserted have supplanted the nuptial mass to great degree, the archbishop said:
 'To offset extravagant church dec oration which serves merely to flat ter the vanity of the bridal party and their relatives, the choir must be lowered to the level of an ordinary theatre orchestra, to discard suggest i've operatic airs and a medley of trivial, sensuOus music"
 He concluded with severe denun- citation of church marriage rehear- sals.
 The archbishop about month ago issued a pastoral letter severely de- ncuncing extreme styles in womens clothing, particularly when worn at church.

Ryan. The suspen- sion of dealings also afforded an op- portunity to the parties to existing contracts to reach an adjustment MT. Ryans' allegations that 10 members of the governing committee belong to firms "shorts" of the stock were refuted with the assertion that not one of the 10 was interested in it in any way flor their own ac- counts, except three firms who trade
 in odd lots and each of these three were Hong" of Stutz.
 "'The members of the governing committee of the exchange" it con- cluded, "are firmly convinced that in all actions taken in respect to Stutz motor stock they have been guided solely by sense of their duty to the best interests of the eX- change and of the public"
