important features is the dairy pro-
ducts exhibit, under charge of j. E.
Dorman, connected with the dairy
extension of the federal department
Of agriculture. The display and
competition in butter, cheese and
other dairy products this year will
be better and keener than ever be-
fore.
The horse show is always thrilling
and attractive, and more horses and
a livelier time is anticipated this
fall than ever.
The Pacific International Live
Stock Exposition is the largest live
stock and dairy show in America
today. When eastern breeders came
out last year they were inclined to
be little patronizing, until they
saw what we had. Then they were
amazed, not only at the number of
entries, but at the remarkable quail
ity of the stock. AS matter of fact
the west coast has as fine examples
as can be found of the three great
beef breeds, the sheep of all classes,
the five commonly recognized Ameri-
can breeds of swine and the four
heavy horse breeds.
Last year there were over 5000
individual animals, each the pick Of
the west, at the show. This year in
dications are that there will be
many more. Everybody in this sec
tion is interested in livestock. This
is an opportunity to see and study
your favorite breed, and wonder
full chance there will be to compare
dozens of the best with each other.

AMERICAN FALLS PROJECT

Pocatello, Sept. 29.-The follow
ing statement was issued by Guy
Flenner, managing director of the
Idaho Reclamation Association.
This office has made some inves-
LEGATIONS as to certain phases of the
American Falls project and desires
to lay before that portion of the
public directly interested, some facts
that it has collected.
"The American Falls project is
set up, as matter of financing, on
the basis of the work being paid for
for the most part, through the joint
financial assistance of irrigation
companies in the Snake River valley
and the federal government thru
the Reclamation service.
I'm line with this plan, these irri-
CATION companies have been re-
quested to pay in certain sums on
the basis of an acreage assessment of
their members into the Reclamation
fund, and we find there have been
some objections to this plan, which,
coupled with conditions that have
made payments difficult at this time
on the part of those who favored it,
has resulted in the payments being
deferred until next year, as We are
informed.
"The information we have from
official sources warrants the state
ment that unless this joint payment
plan can be carried out, the con-
struction of the American Falls dam
will be greatly delayed, if not alb
andonment caused for an indefinite
period.
"The demands upon the Reclama-
ton fund are pressing, and the am
cunt available is below the estimat
ed receipts. Moreover, considerable
sums of money have been received
by the Reclamation Srevice to assist
in the investigation of projects, In
many cases without contribution by
the U. S. government. II these in
vestigations should develop feasible
projects, the parties interested, will,
in some cases actually advance the
funds for construction under the
same plan as was promised by the
canal systems on the Snake river
AS the Service must give preference
in cases of the latter kind, any un-
reasonable delay as to the American
Falls project will further delay the
construction of the dam.
"It is hoped that the McNarry-
Smith appropriation bill can be pass
ed at the next regular session OF
Congress, but, II that should be
done, the total amount would not be
available at once, and probably not
over $30,00O,000 the first year,
which apparently is absorbed In ad-
vance. The American Falls project,
il participating in that fund, would
be considerably delayed, contrasted
with the advancement that is pos
sible under the present plan.
"In view of the conditions, we
suggest that the most serious con-
sideration be given on the part OF
the members of the canal companies
to the pressing needs of the Recla-
nation Service as bearing upon this
great Idaho development, to the end
that assistance be forthcoming
promptly when the deferred pay
ment period referred to in the fore
going has lapsed.

WITH THE WOMEN or TODAY
By EDITH

Only one woman is entitled to wear
the world wa medal Of the New York
police department. She is Mrs. Rose
Taylor, attached to the station house
in the White Light district. Mrs. Tay-
slorl did war work in France for twen-
ty-two months with the postgraduate
base hospttal unit.
Eligibility to wear the war medal is
only one OF Mrs. Taylor's distinctions.
She Is said to know more secrets about
the night life along the great white
way than any other woman in the
world. Life as she has seen it for the
past ten years Is not all bright and

ged girl look alike to Mrs. Taylor. and

soul is the wiser.

such strenuous work hat Mrs. Taylor
welcomed a Iayoff from the regular
job to give her time to win that war
medal in France. Wherever she goes
