Thousands of Acres
of Desert Land Com
pletely Submerged

A great food has descended on
the farms west of Moreland and down
thru the Rockford country as a. re-
suit Of melting SHOWS on the desert.
It passes under the American Falls
canal and the Peoples Canal near
Moreland, thru q big drain under
each canal about four feet by 10 feet
in size and these are running like a
mill race. The drainage box on the
Mackay branch was only about four
or five feet square and could not
stand the pressure and washed out
on Wednesday afternoon. The
trains succeeded in getting over it
coming into Blackfoot and a work
train was ordered out and they sue
ceeded in getting the track fixed to
such an extent that the train could
go out about noon Thursday. The
water backed up against the Ameri-
can Falls canal at Rockford and
formed a lake covering thousands Of
acres of land in that vicinity and
along the line of the swails leading
back thru the Moreland country. A
gap was cut in the right bank Of the
AuCFlCdu rdllS CdIldl III dH dtlCLupL "
drain off the water that was accumu-
lating on the west side Of it and keep
it from breaking over into the set
tlement eastward from Rockford.
On Thursday at noon the water on
the west side of the canal was still
rising and large force of men were
at work, blowing out additional Sec
tions Of the west bank Of the canal
to let the water into the canal and
drain off by that means, retaining
the left bank to keep it from getting
out on the other settlements. The
Furniss and Sjostrom families had to
be rescued with boats Thursday
morning. II the food breaks the
American Falls canal it will food a
good many homes on the east side.
This water comes from the melting
of the SHOWS the past few days when
it was warm and bright. It comes
from drainage basin Of perhaps half
million acres lying northward from
Rlackfoot and Moreland. Such a
flood comes only once in eight or
ten years when there is deep snow
subjected to an extreme change Of
temperature.

Eastern Cehters
Hold Brighter Pros
poets for Future

sF. q. seeger, who has just returned
Efrom trip to the eastern markets
says things are looking good in the
east. When he was back in October
things were very dull there and the
futher west he came, the better they
s*1S6ked. Now things are looking
better In the east and the further
s.west he came the more he get, into
the dull belt. He says conditions are
ssuuts SO good in Chicago as in, New
Fork and not so good at Omaha as
!. in Chicago. He thinks the wave CT
activities Of renewed business Is
travelling westward the same as the
dull period Is and that as the spring
opens up, business activity will re-
cover rapidly.
Mr.. Seeger thinks we're going to
have very good year, but that we
shall have to work for 1t.

BLACKF00T STAKE !.
HOLD CONFERENCE
Prominent Speakers OF
Utah Address Large
Meetings

The regular quarterly conference
of the Blackfoot stake was held in
the new stake tabernacle at Black
foot, February 26 and 27.
This was the first meeting held
in the new Building and everybody
was more or less anxious to know
whether they would be able to hear
the speakers in SO large a building.
The acoustics of the building proved
to be very good.
The meetings were largely at
tended in spite of the fact that the
roads were almost impossible. A
count Sunday afternoon showed
1433 present and there was consid-
erable room for more.
Both days luncheon was served in
the social hall for all who wished
to remain so that nobody was under
the necessity of going home thru
the mud unless they wished to do
so. The young ladies mutual i'm
provement association conducted the
luncheon on Saturday and the relief
socity was in charge of the Sunday
meal and both are to be highly COM
mended for the splendid manner in
which they fed the multitude.
During the noon hour the people
took occasion to renew old acquaint-
ance and to look thru the tabernacle.
Elders Melvin ]. Ballard, Levi
Edgar Young, and Professor George
H. Brimhall were the principal
speakers. President George s. Rom
ney, of the Kicks Normal college,
Bishops Hyrum J. Smith and Alvin
A. Beezley, Of Utah. The Blackfoot
stake presidency and members Of
the high council also addressed the
conference. All speakers praised
the new tabernacle and President
Nofear Davis made special mention
of the untiring and unselfish l6bors
and contributions of President James
Duckworth in helping to bring this
much needed building into existence.
I feel sure we all join with President
Davis in appreciation Of President
Duckworth's efforts.
Bishop Royal M. Jeppson and
counselors and q number of quorum
and stake auxiliary officers were
ordained or set apart as each case
required for the positions in which
they are called to labor.
A special and pleasing feature Of
the conference was q first class con-
cert under the direction Of the stake
M. I. A. board Saturday evening,
given without charge. The concert
was followed by brief dance for
exercise after the long day of meet
ings.
The stake choir furnished splendid
singing and this report would not
be complete il mention were not
made of the special and beautiful
numbers by the ladies chorus and
quartet under the direction Of Sis
ters Stephens and Wood respectively
and the violin solos by Sister Pack.
The conference was splendid sue
cess and will long be remembered
by all who attended.

Elementary Nurs-
ing Under Super
vision Red Cross

Mrs. Elizabeth Morton, represen.
tative of4the Red Cross, who Is here
to teach women and girls the rudi.
ments of nursing in the homes, be-
gan her work Wednesday at Rock.
ford and Thomas. She had twenty
in the class at each place, notwith-
standing the bad roads, and has en-
gagements for Moreland, Riverside
and Rose for the rest of this week.
Persons desiring to get the exact
dates can ring Chairman e. l.. And
erson at the Anderson lumber yard.
These lessons are open to all wo-
men and girls desiring to attend.
There is no charge to pay, the Red
Cross supplying the teacher as q
part of our share of returns from
money we have furnished in mem
berships. There will be sixteen les
sons in each community in the cir
cult, and about the first of May a
new circuit will be formed, prob
ably in the upper part of the county,
and sixteen lessons will be given
in each of those places.
Mrs. Morton teaches first aid, hy-
giene as applied to cooking and
housekeeping and care Of the sick !;
she teaches that important matter,
making up a bed for a sick person,
with the patient in the bed or out
of it. How to change the patient s
clothes or bedding without pain OF
fatigue or exposure to the patient,
and a multitude of other things that
mean much to the sick person and
much satisfaction to the one taking
care of the sick because there Is
little satisfaction in trying to do
something that one does not know
how to do. Most people dread TAX
ing care of the sick, because they
do not know how and they are con-
stantly doing something wrong and
causing pain or disappointment.
When you find a person who dislikes
caring for the sick you generally
find one who has never learned any
thing about how to do it.
These things should be- learned
early so you have all your life to
profit by the knowledge gained, but
1t is never too late to learn. Every
man should try to arrange for his
wife and daughters to take these
free lessons while they can. He is
going to be sick himself and It will
make a difference whether he has
skilled nurse or not. Granting
that he is going to recover anyhow,
which man generally does, all but
once, a skilled nurse will get him on
his feet sooner than one who is not
taught just what to do to reduce
a fever by natural means, or gain
any Of the other quick advantages
to be gained by doing the right thing
at the start.
