THE IDAHO REPUBLICAN
WEEVIL SERIOUS
in % IDAHO COUNTIES

Alfalfa weevil is known to occur
in % counties of Idaho, but it has
become serious in only 10 of the
counties, where it has become
abundant enough to affect the pro-
duction of the crop. The farmers are
more concerned at present upon
what effect the weevil will have on
the market value Of their hay.
Idaho hay is being excluded from
several of the western states due to
this infection. 1t is generally felt,
however, that guarantees will not
effect the spreading of the disease,
it is said.
The states of Arizona, California,
Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Oregon,
and Washington maintain quaran-
tines against Idaho hay. All exist
ing guarantees, except those of
California and Washington, forbid
the importation of Idaho hay in any
form, it is said.

INTERESTING DESCRIPTION PROPOSED
new RESERVOIR AT AMERICAN FALLS

which indicated no natural drainage.
1t was also found that from $500 to
5000 springs were running the year
around in this area which indicated
that there was a natural tendency
to fill a reservoir rather than to
drain it.
1T was further explained that on
account OF this vast area being
swamp land, it would be impossible,
practically speaking, to drain and
place this land under cultivation, the
cost would exceed any possible hoped
for crop.
Largest Artificial Body
"Mr. Banks explained that it
would probably take five or six years
to properly construct this dam, and
that If it were constructed on basis
of impounding 100000 acre feet Of
water, it would be the largest arti-
fetal body of water in existence. In
connection with his explanation of
the amount of work required to build
this dam, he stated that there would
be $500 real estate deals alone, and
that If ten per day were made, It
would take in the neighborhood of
one year to complete this transaction,
which is a very small part Of the
work" ~

CLOSE BIG CONTRACT TO
TRANSPORT OIL IN MEXICO

(By International News Service)
MEXICO CITY, Mexico. - AL
though the pipe line of the Mexican
Seaboard Oil Company, Mexican
subsidiary of the Sinclaid Console
dated Oil Company, from the light
oil fields to the seashore will not
be completed until about February,
1921, the company has already
made a contract with the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey for the
delivery Of $4,000 barrels of oil
daily for a period of two and half
years. This is more than half of the
capacity Of the pipe line, which will
be $4,000 barrels daily.
The company is building steel
tanks at the seaboard terminal of
the pipe line which will have a
storage capacity of 100000 bar
rels.

ALCOHOL NOT PERMITTED
UNDER STRICT IDAHO LAW

So stringent are the Idaho laws
that no alcohol can be shipped into
the state for hospital use, accord
ing to Lewis Williams, collector of
internal revenue for Idaho. cal
cohol is necessary in hospitals" he
said, "as physicians declare that
during the flu epidemic and for
body baths it's use is essential"
1t is said that pharmacists can
not be induced to part with even
a drop of the liquid, not even ON
a prescription.
The government will not permit
of any irregularity and refuses to
supply hospitals in Idaho owing to
the state law which forbids its
shipment, it is said.
Hospitals will be supplied with
alcohol by the government tax free,
according to the revenue collector,
if arrangements could be made with
the state to issue permits for hos
pital use.

LILLIAN RUSSELL WANTS
LEAGUE OF 4S STATES

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. = Lillian
Russell, famous stage star, in an
address at Indianapolis delivered
an attack on the league of nations.
In her discussion of the league Of
nations she alluded to the state
ments of the Democratic speakers
that the approval of Congress must
be obtained before the country
could enter war, even though the
United States did become one of
the signatories of the pact.
"If you can find a single mention
of Congress in the whole darned
document" she said, SHOW 1t to

sell said, "but it is a league with 4S
members, and they are all right
here on this side Of the Atlantic.

ing isolated from the world, but
they don't tell you what grand
isolation it is"

WHY SUGAR WENT TO Is CENTS
(From Boise Statesman)

New Orleans sugar exchange held
a meeting, decided they wanted
seventeen cents a pound for their
product, and wired Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer, President Wilson s
agent in this matter, for permits
sion. Here is the Palmer reply:
Hereby concur in maximum
fixed price of seventeen cents
for Louisiana plantation clari-
feds, eighteen cents for Louis
lana clear granulated.,
AS soon as this became public,
the Cubans took the cue and boost
ed their price. Beet sugar men
either went up voluntarily or were
forced up.
A statistician has figured that,
with sugar at Is cents, the Amer
lean people were robbed of one
billion eighty million dollars.
Mr.. Zabriskie called the seven
teen cent price ridiculous and
said publicly that ''had the sugar
equalization board been permitted

to exercise its own judgment, in
stead of the country facing a fam
inc, we would have had
the largest crop Of sugar in his
tory at six and cne-half cents a
pound"
A United States district attorney,
Mooney by name, who was the Will
son-Palmer go-between in the
Louisiana transaction, told con-
gressional committee, which took up
this matter, this about the reason
ing of the attorney generals de-
partment:
The Louisiana sugar crop
this last year was only about
half crop, $50 they thought
1t fair to permit the sugar
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1920-10-25

This is the story which tells why
sugar went to Is cents.
In 1919, first in August and again
several weeks later, Mr.. George Ia
briskie, acting as head of the sugar
equalization board, warned Presi-
dent Wilson that purchase of the
next Cuban crop by the board would
be advisable.
The Cuban government, anxious
to dispose of its sugar in this way,
sent mission to the United States
to negotiate the sale. The gentle
men of this commission offered the
entire crop for six and one-half
cents a pound. -
Mr.. Wilson turned down the Of
fer and refused to permit Mr.. Ia
briskie and the board to make a
deal, although, if he had, sugar
would have sold for II or IL cents
pound instead of Is.
Several weeks more elapsed. Then

lama and representatives of the

The following is a report on the
new American Falls reservoir by
Secretary Fields of the Pocatello
Commercial club from report by
Mr.. Banks of the U. s. reclamation
service:
THE dam will be about 80 feet
high, running in southeasterly d.
rection from the north side of the
Snake river at location just above
the present railroad bridge over the
Snake river and 5000 feet across the
valley just below the town OF Ameri-
can Falls, to the edge Of a bench
southeast OF American Falls. A dam
Of this size will impound 100000
acre feet of water, enough water to
irrigate about 100000 acres Of
ground. The present plans are for
a dam which will impound one and
a half million acre feet of water,
which will irrigate about 100000
acres Of land. Land to be irrigated
by this reservoir will run as far west
as the Bruneau project.
Power Plant Useless
1.-THE present railroad bridge will
be raised about fourteen feet; the
present power plant of the Idaho
Power company, situated just below
the railroad bridge will be practically
destroyed as far as its uses for COM
mercial purposes. The railroad will
be required to move about two and
a half miles of their trackage from
one to three miles south of its pres
emit site, and part OF the present
American Falls townsite will be de-
stroyed. There is, however, very
good locations on the southeast side
Of this dam or on the north side of
the dam, but the exact location Of the
town has not yet been determined.
'The exact size of the proposed
reservoir has not yet been deter
mined. 1t has been suggested that
its size be held to storage of
100000 acre feet, but Mr.. Banks
pointed out that the construction
cost of reservoir large enough to
impound three million acre feet
would be practically the same as the
cost of reservoir of 100000 acre
feet; however, that they would work
on plans to store 100000 acre feet.
Long Shore Line
There will be approximately LA
miles of shore line around this
reservoir. It will run from Ameri-
can Falls to the Portneuf river near
Batise Springs, following course of
a natural basin or edge of a bench
all the way.
From Batise Springs to Fort Hall
and from Fort Hall to Springfield
near the present school house site;
from Springfield to about a mile
south of Sterling, and following this
bench line from there back to Ameri-
can Falls.
"Mr. Banks then went into the
condition of the reservoir site itself
as found by the reclamation en-
gineers. 1t was found that the bot
tom of the proposed reservoir would
be most ideal. This was explained,
because ordinarily in a reservoir site
water tends to seep thru, and in
many cases forms small streams thru
the stratum; thus in time, tending to
drain the reservoir. In this case,
however, it was found that Is per
cent of the area was swamp land, |

growers to charge double
price.
There you have it. TO give the
sugar man of the Democratic solid
south double price," the whole
nation contributed more than a bill
lion dollars and, even at that, went
without sugar at times.
Yet we are asked to return the
Democrats to power"
