THOMAS ALGERS RETAKEN
WITH STOLEN CAR NEAR
HOMEDALE MONDAY

To Hugh Nichols, deputy sheriff of
Canyon county, must go the credit
for recaptu-ing Thomas Algers, an es
capped convict, after a rather sensa-
tional episode near the Homedale fer
re Monday evening about & p. m. 1t
was not specifically Algers that the
deputy sheriff expected to nab. Re-

the description of one stolen in Boist,
Immediately following Algers escape
but in no way associated with that
adventure in the minds of those
scratching for the escaped convict, led
Mr.. Nichols to go to the Homedale
district Monday afternoon to search
for it.
After driving through the district
Mr.. Nichols saw car approaching
which closely answered the descrip-
ton given him of the one missing in
Boise. Accordingly he kept the mid
die of the road and when the car
approached closely. he was able to

RESUME WORK
IN AUGUST ON
BLACK CANYON
First Unit Of Project Will Be
Completed for Farmers to
Plant Next Summers Crop;
Says Project Manager

Black Canyon, first unit, will be
ready for its settlers next summer to
put in crops. This is the good news
received this week from J. B. Bond,
project director for the Payette-Bois-
project. Actual construction work
will be resumed, according to Mr..
Bonds letter, about august | with
the expectation of having 1t completed
during the fall and early Winter
months.
A present, the work of construct
ing the irrigation system which is
to provide water for about 5000 acres
OF land, is approximately so per cent
completed, according to estimates
provided by local men in charge of
the work. From an engineering
standpoint, however, the work is much
nearer completion, practically all of
the difficult excavation having already
been done. The big siphon, designed
to carry the water across Boise river,
has long been finished.
Most of the work which remains
to be done lies north of the river.
Aside from some concrete canal lin
ing and short distance of excavation,
the work is virtually complete on the
Caldwell side Of the river.
Money Shortage Hats Work
Construction work was halted early
last fall when the funds used for the
development of this project were ex-
hausted. But for this fact, Black
Canyon residents in the first unit
would have been supplied with water
this spring, the work having progress
ed far enough last summer to have
insured its completion before spring.
had money been available to continue
the work.
From the cost standpoint something
more than half the money necessary
to complete the project has been ex-
pended. North of the river, little
more difficulty than simple excava-
ton is essential, the work consisting
primarily of digging the main canal
and providing an adequate lateral sys-
tenn. Money for continuing the work
will come from usual sources and
from oil leases as we'll, according to
local representatives of the reclama-
ton service.
Only about 100 acres in the first
unit remains unpatented and that is
desert claim upon which final proof
cannot be made until water is avail
able on the land. 1t is confidently
expected that major portion of the
project will be under cultivation, next
summer

erage disposal plant of this city. This
difficulty will be completely obviated
with the installation Of the combined
sewerage and drainage system.
Whether, at the present time the re
clamation service has funds available
for carrying out their share of the
work is matter upon which no de-
finite information is available at pres
ent. 1t is known that some difficulty
has been experienced by reclamation
officials in carrying out projects be-
cause of shortage of funds.

With reference to this subject, Dean

culture. at the State University says:

DRAINAGE PLAN
FOR CALDWELL
Activity .0nce More Evidended
In Proposal to Accomplish
Comprehensive Improvements
in Northern Part Of City

Active steps were taken this week
looking to the formulation of prelim-
mary steps necessary to furthering the
project of draining northern and east
ern Caldwell. Monday evening, this
important matter was given construc.
tive consideration by both the city
council and the civic Improvement
committee, representing The CONNER
cial club, Forward club and the city
of Caldwell.
A. E. Sutton father of a resolution
passed by the council at an adjourned
meeting Monday providing co-opera-
tive effort between the city, the Pion-
eer Irrigation district and the u. S.
reclamation service to further the or
ganization of drainage district to
undertake the work outlined. Mayor
Grant Ward, S. Ben Dunlap and Wal.
ter Griffiths. city attorney, were man,
ed committee to expediate matters
by taking the proposition up at once
with the reclamation service and the
Pioneer Irrigation district.
At the same time, the civic improve
ment committee went on record ad-
vocating the immediate attention to
this matter as the one big problem
before Caldwell at the present time.
DR.. J w. Cue, chairman of the COM
mittee, Wednesday asserted that it was
the unanimous opinion Of the commit
tee that this work is necessary and
fundamental to the future develop
ment of Caldwell and that no other
undertakings will be advocated until
its Is done.
Proposal Not New
The project is by no means new.
Some time ago, the reclamation SER
vice first preached the idea of CO.
operative effort designed to drain this
section of Caldwell and all prelimin-
airy work was done, including survey
ing, making plans and specifications.
An underground system of drainage
will be installed to drain into the
Boise river just above the D. S. L.
railroad bridge. According to the
city's proposal, Caldwell will pay for
such part of the system as may be
fused for sewer outlets.
Depth, one of the things essential
to a proper sewerage system, was
found by L. c. Kelsey, consulting en-:
gineer, to be woefully lacking in north
Caldwell. according to a report which
he filed some time ago with the city

LAUNCH EFFORT
To LAND FARM
FORCALDNELL
Many Agencies Invoked to
Obtain Establishment Of
Federal Dairy Station at
University Farm

Efforts are being made to have one
OF the two proposed federal dairy
farms established at the University Of
Idaho experimental farm near Cald-
we'll. Backed by the Idaho farmer,
as we'll as, the similar far mublica-
tons covering Oregon and Washing
ton and strongly supported by the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce, every
available agency in the northwest is
being brought into action to land the
project for the northwest and Cald-
we'll has been hit upon as most log,-
cal and available place in the three
northwestern states to establish the
farm.
F. 0. Baker, representing the three
farm publications for Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho, will meet F. T.
Meredith, secretary of agriculture, in
San Francisco, Tuesday to lay the
plan before him. At present there are
two such farms in the United States,
one in South Dakota and the other in
Montana. According to the present
plan, one of the two proposed farms
may be established in South Dakota
making two in that state and it is upon
this ground that efforts are being dir
ected to bring it to the three north
western states.
A. E. Gipson, representing the Ida
no Farmer, lai the plan before the
board of directors of the Caldwell
Commercial club at recent meeting
and local support was enthusiastically
pledged the venture. Speaking edi-
torially, the current issue of the Idaho
Farmer says Of the matter:
Dairy Experimental Farm
THE Idaho Farmer learns that the
dairy division of the United States
Department of Agriculture is consid-
ering the establishment of more dairy
farms. Among the several farms now
operated by the division are those at
IIuntley. Montana and Ardmore, S.
D. 1t is understood there is now
being considered the establishment of
two more stations, one in Texas and a
second in South Dakota.
1t would seem to The idaho Farmer
far more desirable that a new station
be established in Idaho as compared
with an additional station in South
Dakota. The adaptability of the Boise
valley region to the dairy industry
goes without question. One of the
irrigation projects that supplies a
large amount of water for the land of
the valley, particularly the lower val
ley, is the Boise project. There are
a large number of cheese factories,
creameries and large condensery, all
located at various points in the val
ley.

GEM DISTRICT HAS
SPLENDID SEASON
PLENTY OF WATER AND NEW
LAND MARKS PROJECT
GROWTH

Crops in the Homedale district were
never better, according to Statement,
made this week by J. H. Lowell, who
has made frequent trips over that dis
trict during the past spring. Far
mers are more amply provided with
water than they have ever been in
the past because of the installation
OF new unit in the pumping plant,
last winter, according to Mr.. Lowell.
Services from the plant has Been ex-
ceptionally good this summer and
thus far no Inconvenience or loss has
been suffered because OF a shortage
of water, said Mr.. Lowell.
Much of the new land sold last win
ter by I. H. Nash, state land COM
missioner, has been put under cultiva-
ton and the prospects are rosy fog
good crop from most of this land
according to Mr.. Lowell. Some few
farmers are experiencing difficulty as
is usually the case with raw land upon
its first cultivation but most of tho
new land gives promise Of yielding
bountiful crops.
Haying in the Gem district has
been under way for some time with
prospects for thoroughly satisfac-
tory yield. Other crops also promise
bumper yields.

FRENCH SAYS THAT

CLARES REPUBLICAN
NOMINEE CHOICE

University of idaho, Moscow, June
24-"Tsach your children to believe
in their government; don't talk parti-
san politics. said Representative Bur
on L. French of Idaho In an address
today before the teachers who are at
tending the summer session of the
University of Idaho. "You cannot
make good citizens of the boys and
girls of this country unless you in
culate in them high ideals of public
service, and teach them to believe in
the character, honesty, and public
spirit of the men who make and ad..
minister the laws"
Representative French described
wildly the workings of the recent
national Republican convention in
Chicago. He lauded the manner in
which the platform committee brought
together dissenting factions on an ac-
ceptable stand on the league of ma
tons.
Mr.. French denied emphaticaly
that Harding's nomination was secur-
ed by bosses" Harding was an ac-
ceptable candidate to all of the various
goups," he said. THE convention
was not in the hands of bosses. The
delegates who cast their votes for
Harding just as those who voted for
other candidates, honestly expressed
the sentiment of their own minds"

DRYs cHAGRINED WHEN TOLD
BRYAN REFUSES TO RUN

] Lincoln, Neb., July 22.-Delegates
to the prohibition national convention
were completely nonpulsed when in
fromed by the Associated Press to-
night that William Jennings Bryan
had fatty refused to accept the nomi-
nation rendered him yesterday by the
party. q
+: 1t had been believed generally that
he would accept, and the convention
+; through the day had made its plans
with that in view.
The convention was in recess when
the first dispatches from Bozeman,
Mont, were received, but the news
quickly spread and a funral could
not have given a more disconsolate
appearance around the prohibition
headquarters.
The text Of Mr.. Bryan's telegram in
part is as follows:
Il profoundly appreciate the honor
done me in rendering this nomination
and fully share in the conventions
intereste in prohibition as the perma- !
nent policy of our country and in the
strict enforcement of the volstead act
without any weakening of it's provi- |
sions. l also share the conventions |
disappointment at the failure of the
Democratic and Republican parties to
pledge their candidates to such a
policy, but I cannot in justice to the
prohibition party nor to myself ac-
cept the nomination.
My connection with other reforms
would make 1t impossible for me to
focus my attention upon the prohibi-
ton question alone and besides / am
not willing t osver my connection
with the Democratic party, which has
SO signally honored me in years past.
II have not decided yet how shall \
vote this fall but whatever / may feel
1t my duty to do in this campaign. /
expect to continue as a meber Of the
Democratic party.
