WHEN THE SHORT STORY
WRITER r1rRNs NOVEL K

We are beginning to think that the
short story writer should stick to his
first love and keep away from the
novel. Fannie Hurst. several of whose
short stories we admire, made mess
Of her first novel "Star Dust" (Which
really ought to be called "Saw DUSTY.
And now comes Charles Caldwell
Dobie, also an able short story writer,
with Broken to the Plow."
Dobie's new book is really not n
novel. This tale Of an insurance clerk
who comes to the conclusion that he
has been mediocrity too lorg and
decides to do something about il, is
really short story, with philosophi-
cal interludes and lessons in psy-
chology for the benefit OF those who
don't happen to understand why the
characters do what they do.
There is a scene In Broken to the
Plow" that slaves of their servants
are sure to like. Starratt. the lowly
insurance clerk, is ordering an OBJ
streperous kitchen problem TO leave
his house "will you be good enough
to leave!" he commands. In reply the

Two INJURED WHEN
CAR LEAVES GRADE
Boise Men in Hospital as Result
Of Accident East
of Town.

Peter GIononaff and James Fly
iamas, shoemakers Of Boise, are in
st. Luke's hospital suffering from in
juries received Sunday morning when
the automobile in which they were
ascending the new grade east Of
Frozen Dog ranch, left the road and
turned over and over down the em-
bankment. The other occupants Of
the car, Mr.. Sherman and two wo-
men Of Boise, and D. n John Of En-
nett, sustained only minor bruises
and scratches. Fast driving Is said
by spectators to have been respon-
sible for the accident.
The party were on their way to in
spect ranch east of Pickett Corral
hill, for which they were bargaining
with D. N. John. The trip from
Roise was made in ore hour, and the
pace was not slackencd in the jour-
ney from Emmett to where the acci-s
dent occurred. The car rolled over
four times and was Lady wrecked.
The occupants were spilled out as the
machine rolled down the hill, except
one of the women who clung to the
seats.
Glononaff, the driver, was the most
seriously hurt, his injuries consisting
of three fractured ribs and a badly
wrenched shoulder. Filiamas sustain
ed severe cuts on face and scalp. D.
M. John received scalp wound. The
Boise people wer taken to that city
as soon as their injuries had been
dressed by local physicians.

RECOMMENDS LOAN TO
RECLAMATION FUND
Committee on Unemployment
Includes Black Canyon Pro-
ject in Appropriation.

With q view Of giving employment
to approximately 10000 men during
the approaching winter, the committee
on reclamation works of the confer
ence on unemployment has recon-
mended that congress make q loan Of
20 million dollars to the reclamation
fund for the purpose Of constructing
irrigation projects now under way.
Idaho would receive three million
two hundred thousand dollars under
the committee plan, two million for
speeding up work on the American
Falls project which already has been
started, and one million two hundred
thousand dollars to hasten work on
the Black Canyon and Hillcrest units
Of the Boise project. The government
is committed to carry through both
these sub-projects, and the special
allotment would permit much work to
be done on both during the winter.
While the reclamation committee
can only recommend, considerable
weight is likely to be given to its con-
clusions, and this recommendation,
ignoring as it does, the clamor for
widespread undertaking Of new pro-
jects, is likely seriously to interfere
with the passage of the Smith Nc
Nary bill, which looks to the approp-
ration of two hundred fifty million
dollars government money.
This loan, if sanctioned by congress,
would mean immediate construction
work on the Black Canyon dam, be-
cause the object of the recommend
alton is to give employment this win
ter, and you'd hasten the completion
of the dam by at least six months.
However, such desired result is con-
tingent upon the action of congress.

day from hunt on the Salmon, with

he never saw so many deer in his life.
They also saw few COW elk, but they
were small and were not molested. DR..

First Crop--Nuts Are
Large and Meaty.

English walnuts trees, planted on
tia slopes in various places quite .
number of years ago are reaching
bearing age. and this year, for the
first time, have produced crop that
d not only of marketing proportions,
but gives promise Of profitable re-

The quality of the fruit is demon

IRRIGATION DISTRICT
IN CITY
Would Take Over All Irrigation
bitches and Ultimately
Pipe Them.

After spending three years in en-
deavoring to solve the vexing irrigA.
ton problems Of the city, A. P. Pet.
erson and supporters who have suf.
fered from overflowing bitches and
have seen the streets almost, ruined
by flooding, have hit upon what is BE-
lieved TO be feasible plan to CONTROL
the situation. 1t + proposed to or
ganise the city into An irrigation dis
tiict, with the ultimate object of do
ing away with AL ditches by piping
the wsteE.
The proposition was submitted ..
a meeting held Monday evening, over
which J. A. Creswell presided. The
procedure required in the organixa-
ton of an irrigation district was ex-
planned in detail by Attorney R. B.
Ayers. He said the first step was to
present petition, signed by not less
than so resident property owners, to
the board of county commissioners,
praying for the organization of dis
trict. Thirty days notice of hear
ing for protestants follow. Then, if
the petition is granted, an election is
called. An affirmative vote of two
thirds is necessary to carry the pro-
position.
Before the matter can be present.
ed to the county board, plat of the
district showing the boundaries must
be prepared. A committee consisting
of N. B. Barnes, C. L. Gamage, Burt
Mays, with A. p Peterson as ex-of-
ficio member, was appointed to Sc
cure an engineer to make such plat
and an approximate estimate of the
expense of organizing the district
and converting the open bitches into
pipe lines.
1t is believed six or seven months
will be required to carry through the
proceedings.
