them that if they did not like the
situation they had better move out;
that Sand creek was there before
they came and it would probably be
| there after they had left. That
| doesn't make the fellows feel very
good even tho it is true, but the old
! settlers who were on their farms be-
fore Sand creek was ever heard of,
and especially the fellows living
down in the Blackfoot country who
have very valuable farms and FIND
them every year little more sub
merged and for longer period, mel
who had land worth $500 an acre
before the water got to them and
find it growing more and more
worthless every year, these fellows
don't like to be told that if they don't
like the situation they had better
move out.
Some Sub Irrigation
& Out in the Wicks district there is
considerable sub-irrigation arising
from irrigation only and not due
originally to the waters of Sand
creek. Several hundred acres of
land in that locality have become too
saturated to farm. Now the waters
of Sand creek have arrived and this
year in greater quantity. For the
past few weeks the Sand creek water
has been flooding all the lowlands to
the extent of some hundreds of acres.
These folks can get rid of wafer all
right, but it would start fire works
in another direction. They can turn
the water down the Old channel it
was originally following and let it
come into Blackfoot, but they are
members of the farm bureau and it
has Offices at Blackfoot. They don't
want to swamp the farm bureau Of
flee and then they are more or less
acquainted with the citizens of the
town in general and they do not want
to flood them out. The trouble all
dates back to that summer when the
wind blew; it dates back to the To-.
cality of that sand hill; it dates back
to the time when the government |
ceased to conduct the waste waters
Of Sand creek thru into the Black
foot river, for there is trouble aris-
ing in that direction.
BlackfOOt Reservoir Disturbance
When the Blackfoot reservoir was
built and water was conducted down
thru the Blackfoot river to the head |
of the reservation canal the river
was large enough to carry all the
water the canals would carry, but it
is not so now. The sediment settl-
ing in the water above the dam that
turned the water into the canal has
kept filling the channel of the
stream. Something like a million
tons of silt have been deposited in
the channeI of the Blackfoot river.
Some of it has been deposited
squarely on the bottom and some of
it on the side where it was soddy and
where willows were growing and that

made the sod and the willows -four

is narrower and shalloWer. The
government back in Washington did
not care anything about that. The
water masters let the usual amount
of water come down the channel and
if it could not get thru the main
channel It could read out and come

snces to Make Payments Of

Rochester. y. VA large business
house having headquarters in this city
has undertaken to conduct its affairs
entirely without the use of money.
Instead of currency, it intends to use

concern deals with more than 100000
individual customers. the result of the
experiment will be watched with inter-
est.
The company's reason for adopting
this method is given as an effort TO
demonstrate n means of ending the
epidemic of payroll robberies and ito
show that modern business may be
conducted most efficiently without the
use of small change thus leaving the
nations money where 1t belongs, in
the banks, to serve as the basis OF
credit
The announcement says even car
fares, hotel bills and railroad fares
for the company's force Of several hun
dred statesmen and other sundries are
TO be paid by check.
All petty items, even the one-cent
postage stamp, will be paid ~henceforth
by check, and mo currency of any
amount or denomination is to be car

To meet the pay roll of its factory,
the company has offered to employees
