Dear Mrs. Ellsbury: / see that you
have in your valuable paper a ques-
ton column. VIII you please answer
the following questions and oblige a
subscriber who lives in an eastern
state?
Where does the land lay that will
be watered by the American Falls dam?
How are the said lands acquired from
the U. s. r. s.? Where will the new
townsite be from the present town of
American Falls? At about what time
are you expecting actual construction
work to begin? Has the government
purchased the old or present townsite
and the land hat will be covered with
water by reason of the dam?
THANK YOU.
A. Most of the land that will be
watered through the storage at Ameri-
can Falls is owned by thirty four irri-
cation companies now operating in tht
Snake River Valley. This is not new
land. The government plans to water
new land to the mount of 500,0 900
acres on the Minidoka Project
thirty miles southwest of American
Falls. Other new land may later be
watered but is too far in the future to
describe at this time.
A. We're the land opened now SOL
diers would be given a preference
right of sixty to ninety days. The bal
ance of the land then would probably
be issued through drawings. In the
circumstances however it will be five
to ten years before the land will be
available during which time the law
might radically change.
A. The new townsite will be south
and east of the present townsite and
will embrace that portion of the old
town known as Knob Hill.
A. Actual construction may begin
within six months but probably not be-
fore eighteen months.
A. The government has purchased
only a small percent of the old town
property and right-of-way for the dam.

SOME SURPRISES THAT MAY
MOTT SURPRISE Won.

We were making q zone map of the
United States a few days ago, to facili-
tate mailing papers. The Things we
learned were surprising. We knew
them back in the seventh grade but
since then we had gained an entirely
different idea Of places, relative dis
tances and directions.
This led I o a more extensive exami-
nation of the maps and the said editor
learned some things that rather sur
prised him. For instance, he found
that the Panama Canal was exactly
south of Buffalo. The western point
OF Alaska is farther west than the
Hawaiian Islands. Travelling from one
corner of Texas to the fartheBt cor
ner Is as far as from the northeast cor
ner of Texas 20 Duluth, way up there
on Lake Superior. The greatest length
of California Is the same distance as
from New York City TO the Mississippi
river.i The easternmost point of Mex
leo is directly south of the state of
Indiana, and you can almost jump from
IL over on TO the island of Cuba. Some
country of itself, that same Mexico.
We usually thing OF the Gulf of Cal
ifornia as an arm of the Pacific ocean
and therefore "farthest west" yet part
of It's mouth is about south Of Denver.
Mild British Columbia is as far north
as Labrador, which eastern folks look
upon as the last word In zero weather,
South Alaska Is In the same latitude
as south Greenland. You grow wheat,
vegetables and wear Palm Beach pants
In the first; the ice and snow never
belts In the latter. Lake Winnipeg,
which you rarely hear about, Is as big
as Lake Erie.
When a mar has left school 10 or 20
or 30 years and has spent his time do
Ing anything else but teaching 1t Is
amazing how much learning he has
lost. The foregoing geographic facts
about our own continent lies before us
wherever w look at n map and yet
the majority of us are greatly sur
prlsed when we come across them. But
the fact Is we were all taught them
once; they have simply slipped from
us.
Next time you meet a geography
get acquainted with II and you'll pick
up a lot of surprises.

GO GET A HRILL,


W. wonder how many OF you grown
up men have been down to the old
swimmin' hole yet this spring-not TO
swim, for our new natatorium AT In
dian Springs is getting our attention
now-but to take a long, lingering look
while the recollection of months and
years, almost ages ago, come crowd
ing back TO you, a thousand In a few
brief minutes.
The editor has been down TO hls'n-

swlmmin' holes that tho gang used to
frequent alternately. He had almost
forgotten the old shady sand bar up
the river. Well II vas always to safe
and sane and shallow to give any real
boy a thrill anyway. Something like
the modern natatorium whore there Is
no chance TO drown, no undertow to
take n away, no cold water to give
a boy the cramps and no cold ereaky
spring board that Is hazardous to use.
We fingered longest at the old
quarry" hole whore the Power house
o Is located. You bet-that was the
place-oh boyl That a the hole, for
swimmin' purposes, OF all holes be-
cause the folks were always warning
us against II. There was lots of real
cold water In the quarry. Seemed
like II was partially fed by cold
springs, almost as cold aa ice, and what
boy liz 1t that does not know the dellc-
lous danger of a sudden current of cold
water curling about his war; legs.
Then there was the deep hole to the
one side OF the quarry" that had been
blasted down fifteen feet deeper until
II hit a spring as thick as your wrist.
You remember; Harry T
stepped into that hole one night To
swim across II and he never came UP

And you will never forget the even

same spot and Bill Jenkins stuck q
pole over to you and pulled you out
And do you remember that baby faced

you been down TO your swimmin' hole

years. The same equipment has car
ried the same water from its present
source throughout the last decade. The
city has never been visited with a ty-
phoid epidemic and sofar as is known
the health of the city has not been
damaged. The water company cannot
be criticised in any way for what has
happened in the past.
However It would seem that some
steps should be taken TO make the
water system safer in the future. The
state department Of health says that II
is a possible source of serious epidem-
les and warns the Company Of it's re-
sponsibility. II will be better for the
city and better for the water company
If the warning is needed on the basis
that II Is far better to be safe than
sorry.

THE FARMER HIS OWN
WORST ENEMY.

Now ome John Jones and says that
he is "agin" the Wheat Growers Asso-
citation because he never yet knew a
bunch of farmers to stick to gether.'
Sound logic for the opposition.
Such comment nowadays is rele-
gated to the trash can. Few uptodate
farmers are there today that do not
realize that the farmer must adopt
tried and proven methods, IL he is to
successfully weather the economic
crises that loom ahead.
Cooperative endeavor has long been
the keynote of success in financing,
selling, marketing, manufacturing and
commerce. Why not in agriculture?
Many there are who have eyes but
see not.
A sign OF normalcy-Two men hired
out in American Falls Monday for
$1.be a day and walked sixteen miles to
go to work.
Hard times, socalled, is a dear teach
er. but a thorough one. American Falls
is now profiting where others are go
ing broke.

talking, wearing carelessly hung
