BY LOCAL TEAM
Fifty Six to Nothing Was Score
Every Man in Uniform Helped Run
Up Largest Score In Years.
WORLD WAR DEAD.

The entire American Falls football
squad assisted in running up the lar
gest football scored ever recorded
against an opposing team in Ameri-
can Falls when it downed the Paul
High School team 56 to 0 Saturday on
Franklin field. Four of the Ameri-
can Falls team regulars were out of
the game most of the time and the
others were shifted around to positions
they had not regularly played. Despite
this handicap the team won handily
never exerting itself or getting in SER
ious danger from the Paul aggregation
Matson scored the heaviest for the
American Falls team. His line smash
ing proved the real downfall of the
opposing team. The balance of the
scoring was done by Captain Stuart
Isaac and Earring who kicked five o.
the seven goals. A small crowd wit
messed the game from the sidelines.
Pocatello and American Falls pla.
this afternoon In what promises to b
the classic game of the season. Amer
ican Falls has lost one fame to TIL
Gate City lads and are determined t.
even the count today. The game pro
misses to be fast and furious and
large attendance is expected.

George c. Jewett, Manager of Wheat.
growers Pleased With attitude o.
Financial Interests In City Tues
day-Expects Handsome Average
Price From Pool.

The business like administration OF
the Northwest Wheatgrowers Associa-
ton is creating confidence among
banks and money sources that will
make financing next years wheat crop
a comparatively simple matter, ac-
cording to Geo. c. Jewett, general
manager of the Association who spent
Tuesday in American Falls surveying
local conditions related to the Idaho
branch of the Association.
Banks in nearly every section are
adopting more favorable attitude to-
ward us" said Mr.. Jewett. THE Spo-
kane Eastern Trust Company with
capital assets of $1,000.000 loaned us
$500, 900. l would say that was no.
table expression of confidence and
faith. The Spokane Banks loaned us
million dollars, the Portland banks
another million and from the east we
obtained money approximating a mil-
| lion dollars, with which to market this
years wheat crop. We are conduct
| ing the marketing in an orderly man
ner and will be able to carry our loans
over a period sufficiently long TO guar
antee what / believe Will DC hand
some average price for the season.
This attitude on the part of banks IL
very encouraging, and I believe Ii
brought about by the business-like way
that the business of the association
has been conducted"
Comment Among Exporters.
The export trade in Europe is com
menting more on the Northwest Pool
ing proposition than on any other on'
thing according to Mr.. Jewett. Mr.
Jewett's impression is that they vii
not entirely favor the Wheatgrower
! because of a possible realization tha
the Association may indirectly rails
the price of surplus wheat eor export
The Association is not boostin
. membership at the present time 70
the reason that new members Woul
= not share in this years activities an
for the further reason that the AS
sociation expects at the end OF tn
, pooling season to be able to show
{ statement that viii naturally attract
: large and increased membership {
itself, thus greatly reducing the cos
y OF organization work.
Q Mr. Jewett stated that the Associt
: ton this year would market approx
g mately 100000 bushels of wheat
o the Northwest Forty percent OF tn
+ wheat has been sold. The remaindf
"a is still In the pool. Mr.. Jewett wa
not worried over the present low pric
believing that the depression wou
not extend far beyond the first of Il
year,
Extension Needed.
The greatest need at present he b
lieves to be the extension of cooper
I ton throughout the middle west on q
plan similar to the Northwest orga
ization. With the coming of 1922, the
will be an enormously increased q
ganization west OF the Mlssippi W
Ia correspondingly large increase In [
nr amount of wheat handled.
n. Mr. Jewett is a large man, trim
built, a forceful talker and aboundi
in energy and enthusiasm He tai
IN straight to the point and carries
H. air of confidence that gives assuran
a that the results of his work viii met
"a ure up to his talk. He left Tuesd
evening for Montana we'll pleas

ENGINEERS ASKED
To AID DIRECTOR
Idaho's Greatest Asset, Water, Should
BE Further PrOteced Says Flenner
At Banquet Given Engineers in PO-
catellO-Swendsen 0yerwOrked.

Pocaello - The Idaho Reclamation
Association, through its managing di-
rector, has started a movement for a
further conserva on of the states
greatest asset, water.
At a banquet given in connection
with the meeting of the local chapter
of the American Association of Engi-
neers, including engineers from Idaho
Falls, Blackfoot, and American Falls
the Reclamation Association director
called attention of the engineers to a
great public service they could per-
form by uniting their efforts in aid Of
| this needed conservation.
| 1t was pointed out that under exist
! ing law the appropriation of water
was largely an individual matter with
the ever present danger of ulterior dis
/ tribution. The director stated that the
Reclamation Association was investi-
eating certain cases of that kind, and
already had some evidence OF gross
misapplication Of water that should
be used ON Idaho lands.
The engineers were deeply interested
in the directors statements. and II
was apparent that their aid will be
forthcoming TO secure correctives and
bring about a fuller measure Of pro-
lection for this vital asset which, as
was stated, is being so rapidly dissi-
pated.
States Irrigation Projects.
The director also besought assis-
tance of the engineers as unofficial ad-
visors of the state He suggested that
they designate board to act as con
sulting engineers for the state, vol
unteering its services insofar as con
sisent pending more efse"tive plar
of providing for the state leclama
tion department He paid a high tri
butte to the capabilities and the cnergl
and fairness Of Commissioner Warrer

could function properly in such q posi-
ton and be compelled to be IN the fielt

array of details, especially when thef,
was no adequate compensation sucl
as would flow from much less effort Il
