TO WATER 5000 ACRES
At new P.
Plan to Pump Water from Farm
ers Coop. Canal at
Patterns Point.

Settlers on land in the Black Can
yon Irrigation District south of New
Plymouth have become tired Of wait
ing for the government to bring water
to them and are planning to organize
a district of their own for the irriea-
tion of between 5000 and 5000 acres.
The tentative plan is to install
pumping plant on the Farmers Co
operative canal at Patterns Point. The
lift will be about so feet. This will
necessitate enlarging the Cooperative
ditch to carry enough additional water
for the proposed district.
Geo. W. Knowles has been EMPLOYED
to make survey of the district and
work out the engineering problems.
When the Emmett Irrigation Dis
trict constructs the proposed dam at
Black Canyon, it is expected that a
change to gravity system will be
made, using the dam to divert water
through the South Side Canyon canal
OF course, if this arrangement is
made, the enlargement and extension
of the canal will be necessary,
andn the new district will
share in the cost of construction of
the dam and the maintenance of the
South Side canal, or else contribute
through rental proposition.
The hackers of the proposed project
hope to have the works completed by
next spring.

An Usual Experience.

To Round Valley by auto, speeder
and sleigh was the unusual experience
of DR.. B. o. Clark, who was called
there Wednesday by the serious illness
of Cliff Clifford, who is suffering with
pneumonia. DR.. Clark left Emmett
with his car, going as far as Sweet,
where he left it in bottomless mud
hole. At Sweet he got a car to take
him to Gardena, where he took the
speeder to Smiths Ferry, and con-
tinued the remainder of the trip by
sleigh.

BY D. M. STOKESBERY, Clerk.

! The above proclamation was auth
orized and agreed upon last night at
meeting of the city council, and it
will be generally observed. Pledges
of work have been made by very
large number of Emmett people, and
there will be a great gathering to set
in motion the initial improvement of
Emmett's splendid park That this
is true is evidenced by the fact that
every other man walking down Main
street today has carried an ak, which
he was taking to be ground to razor
edge. Sam Mcmillan says his shop
has done nothing all day but sharpen
axes, and he promises the women folks
will have their work of cutting kindl-
ing made much lighter in the future.
Work on uprooting the prune trees
started this morning under the direc-
tion of Anthony Peterson. The Al
White and Joe Kersey tractors, and
a goodly number of volunteer workers,
are on the ground to get ready for the
volunteer army tomorrow morning.
It is confidently believed that all the
trees will have been pulled by that
time and will be ready for the axe
wielders and brush burners.
The wives are notified to have a I
slashing good dinner ready at home
tomorrow noon, for the old man and
she boys will be as hungry as bears.
And don't forget to lay in supply of
'alve, ointment and porous plasters,
'or there will be lame backs and sore
muscles and blistered hands a-plenty.

EXPERTS EXAMINE DAM
SITE
Pronounce Black Canyon Ideal
Location Old Dam
Being Repaired

After an inspection of the Black
Canyon dam site on Tuesday, A. J.
Wiley, noted irrigation engineer, and
j. B. Bond, in charge of the govern
ment reclamation service in southern
Idaho, pronounced the site ideal, the
construction possessing no engineer
ing obstacles, and the plan entirely
feasible. They were, ini fact, enthus-
iastic over the proposition.
Mr.. Wiley and Mr.. Bond were ac-
companied by three auto loads of En-
NETT men, including j. l. Guthrie,
chairman of the Emmett Irrigation
District board, Superintendent Mac
Lean, and G. B. Mains, of the commit
tee on the Black Canyon proposition,
John McNish, " T. Craig, E. F. Reed,
St. Clair Guthrie, A. L. Berry, E. M.
Reilly, Herbert Haylor and The In
dex representative. The trip extend
ed to the Canyon canal dam.
The first stop was made at Black
Canyon. Blue prints previously made
by government engineers were
brought by Mr.. Wiley and compared
with the actual conditions. They were
pronounced ample from which to make
preliminary estimates. No data has
yet been found as to whether the gov
ernment has made borings to ascer-
tain what is the character of the bed
OF the river. Mr.. Wiley, however, is
positive that bed rock will be found
within depth of two feet. He rough |
ly outlined the plan to be followed in
construction, which would be simple |
and Inexpensive Briefly stated, the
plan would be to divert the flow of
water by means of short tunnel and
buildings two Golfer dams, one above
and the bther below the site of the
dam. The dam would have a wing
extending north almost to the Can
yon canal.
When asked as to the time neces-
sary to complete the job, Mr.. Wiley
stated that if work were started this
summer during low water, it could
be completed in time for the irriga-
ton season next spring. Several
other statements of most promising
which it is deemed not ad-
visable to publish at this time, were ,
made, and corroborate the conssrva-
tiveness of the estimates presented
to the meeting of the water users by
Mr.. MacLean. II

TINE FOR SPRAYING
IS NEAR
Orchardists Are Cautioned to
Secure Materials Early by
Director Wicks.

! The time is fast approaching whe1
all fruit growers should begin to con
slider the essential work of thorough
and proper spraying. 1t is impossible
to successfully combat insect enemie.
unless all orchards are thoroughly
sprayed, and neglected orchards
be reported to the Bureau of Plant
Industry, Department of Agriculture
for compulsory spraying or eradica-
tion.
The proper time and thoroughness
Of all spraying operations are absol-
utely necessary for success. Spray
! ing for San Jose scale control can be
given from now until buds open. Do
not depend on summer spraying for
this pest. Advantage should be taken
!of bright spring days without wind
when the temperature il above freez-
ing and trees are dormant and not
wet. a
Last year much difficulty was ex-
perienced by many growers who were
unable to secure spray material, par
ticularly lime sulphur, or who secured
it too late for proper use. Arsenate of
lead and lime sulphur will be used in
large quantities this year and the wise
fruit grower will lay in his supply
early. Delaying your order makes it
for the spray manufac-
turing companies to deliver the ma
terial to all parties in sufficient time
for thorough work.
All the standard recognized COM
mercial brands of arsenate of lead are
good either in the powdered or paste
form. The liquid lime sulphur can be
purchased or made at home Those
who desire to use dry lime sulphur for
San Jose scale control should use it
Is pounds to so gallons of water,
Which is stronger than recommended
It present by the manufacturer.
Miscihle oil has been used success
ully for San Jose scale control but
We do not recommend this in prefer
nee to lime sulphur. When a spray
s applied only for Brown Mite and
Aphis eggs, when trees are dormant,
Sc miscible oil according to directions
n container in preference to lime sui
hur.
Good spraying can not be done with
oor equipment. A steady pressure of
80 to 300 pounds is essential for best
asults and the grower should see
nat his outfit will maintain this con- 7
santly. lit is better to have surplus
ressure than insufficient, and a safe .
ressure range is from $50 to 300 !
ounds for successful work.
The spray rod and spray gun are !
9TH used successfully. The man be- !
nd the instrument is the determining
!ctor. The clipper nozzle, or a nozzle
hich will give a similar effect, is
esirable for use on the rod. Outfits c
lould be equipped with tower or t
ep ladder in order to spray most eff t.

Lenroot Willing
 to Join Third
 Party, He Says

Superior, Wis.,, June 16.-Express ng regret at the nomination of Sem ,tor Harding by the republican con rention Senator Lenroot of Wiscon- in, in a statement here today, de- Jared he would be "among the first 70 join new presidential party" if. when elected president, Harding hould adopt reactionary policies and be controlled by the old guard.
 q frankly regret the choice of the republican convention as believe man who had been allied with the iberal wing of the party should have ,een selected" Senator Lenroot said.
 "There is dissatisfaction on the part of progressives but they must choose between supporting the re- publican ticket and having another our years of democratic rule and all hat implies. In this situation there can be but one choice, it seems to ne, and that is to heartily support he republican ticket.
 .'There is much talk of a third party. This, if supported by pro- ,ressives, would only insure demo- ,rstic victory. If when elected presi lent, Harding shall adopt reaction ,ry policies and be controlled by the ,ld guard I shall be among the first 70 join a new presidential party with policies that are constructively lib- eral and not destructively radical"

Says Increased Rates Won't Solve
 Railway Problem

Washington, June 16.-While urg- ing substantial freight rate increases
 for the railroads, R. c. Fulbright of
 Houston, Tex, representing the
 southwestern industrial traffic
 league, told the interstate commerce
 commission today that rate increase
 alone would not solve the nations
 transportation problems and the full
 31 per cent increase asked by the
 western roads was not necessary. The
 railroads face three major problems,
 MT. Fulbright declared. First, the
 labor problem, second the revenue
 problem and third the tax problem.
 Increased rates will not solve the
 labor question under existing condi- tions, he said, declaring that the con ditions themselves must be changed The rest of the revenue problem Flies in the market for railroad securi-
 ties, MT. Fulbright said, and in
 creased rates will not create a mar xet for securities.
 Discussing the tax MT. Fulbright said investors in railroad securities were burdened with heavy surtax md normal tax which reduced the return on the investment to only two 5r three per cent while municipal securities and liberty bonds largely were tax free and thus gave q great 1T return to the investors,
 Besides the "tax discrimination" Mr. Fulbright said the dumping of 'creign owned securities on the American market contributed to the itagnation in the railroad securities market. He urged that the railroads ,se the same diligence in having the tax discrimination" removed by leg station as they do in seeking in. creased rates.
 Uniform rates throughout the west l we're urged by MT. Fulbright who declared that the southwestern terri tory should not be singled out for higher rates,

But that does not compensate for the lack of achievement, for the colorlessness of the candidate for first place, or for the manner in which his nomination was brought about.

BLACK-DRAUGHT
 AS A PRESENT|vE
When You Begin Feeling Bad With Feverishness, Head ache, Cold, or Constipa- tion, Give Your Liver a T0nic--Take Black
 Draught

Candler, N. C-"I don't believe is better medicine made than Black-Draught; I have used it and my mothers folks used it for colds, feverishness, headache and deranged liver" This statement recently was made by MT. c. B. Trull, a well-known farmer on Route 3, this place.
 '''I have, before now, begun feeling dull, headache would come on, and 1 would feel all full of cold, and take rev doses of Black Draught and get all right" adds MT. Trull.
 "Last year my brother had measles flu and pneumonia. They wired us; went to Camp Jackson to look him up. Down there different ones were using preventatives. I stayed with him. The only thing I used was Black -Draught. It kept my system cleansed and I kept we'll and strong"
 By keeping your liver and stomach in good order, you stand in little dan ger of catching serious ills that oc- casionally spread through town and country.
 Get a package of Black -Draught and have it ready for the first symp- tom of disordered liver.

Don't Spoil Your Hair
 By Washing It

When you wash your hair. be care, rul what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkili, which is very injurious, as 1t dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. ,e., cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with wat CT and rub it in, about teaspoon full IS all thatais required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lath- CT, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh look ing. bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
