CAVALRY IN NEED
OF new QUARTERS
Inspection Shows Poor
Housing For Most
Troops
Idaho national guard organiza-
tiOns are without adequate places to

Idaho national guard organiza.
tions are without adequate places tc
drill.
This is the unanimous conclusion
reached by the officers who inspected
the various units constituting the
First Idaho cavalry and is embodied
in their report of the annual inspec-
ton which was carried on from
March 13 to 20.
The inspection was conducted by
Major John F. Wall, U. s. cavalry,
representing the war department,
and Col. l.. V. Patch, adjutant gen.
eral; Lieut.. Col. R. E. Fisher, in
spector-instructor and Maj. J. B.
Burns, United States property and
disbursing officer, representing the
state adjutant generals office.
The troops at Boise, American
Falls, Aberdeen, Blackfoot, Grace
and Pocatello were inspected and the
officers have the following to say
in their report regarding the condi-
tiors found:
Need Drill Quarters
"The inspection developed gen.
orally satisfactory condition as far
as the personnel of the troops are
concerned, especially with enlisted
men. 1t is sometimes difficult to OBJ
tan officers who are qualified and
eligible and who are willing to en-
ter the national guard. Another
difficulty, within the power of the
state to remedy, is the fact that no
armories are owned by the state, and
only mikeshifts are generally avail
able. Each troop should have COM
bined drill and riding hall, to be used
in rainy weather and in the winter
months. Such building would be
a considerable asset to any commun-
ity, and should contain an indoor
gymnasium and indoor target range.
"Neighboring states have fur
nished many fine armories for the
training Of their national guard units
and it is hardly likely, if the matter
were brought before our own legis-
lature, in the proper manner, they
would fail to provide adequate arm
ory facilities. Idaho Statesman.

TREES DO NOT lNJURE ROADS
Instead Of Taking All Out Il Would
Be Better to Thin Out to
so or rs Feet. !,

Why cut down all trees along the
highway being graded? We recently
saw two or three dozen large naples
along road taken out entirely. 1t
would look much better and be as
usable If the row had been thinned
to 30 or even rs feet. If the road
were well made the trees would not
iHjure it at all. Let's have some shade
on our new roads.---LeRoy Cady, as
sociate horticulturist, University Farm,

Extensive Activity
In Reclamation

Support of far reaching reclama.
ton program, was Monday promised
to Governor D. w. Davis and Repre-
sentative Addison T. Smith by Presi.
dent Harding, according to Associ.
ated Press dispatches. Following the
conference the Idaho men said the
president realized that the govern.
ment must cooperate in the develop
ment of non-productive tracts.
Governor Davis and Congressman
Smith emphasized the need for a Wig.
orous federal reclamation policy for

Upwards Of forty bond sellers and
contractors for construction work
were in Blackfoot the first days Of
this week in conference among them
selves and with the mayor and coun-
Gil and the city engineers.
Monday and Tuesday were the
days for opening the bids for con-
struction work on the new city water
works and for the sale of the bonds
for the project,
The bids were opened for con-
struction work on Monday evening,
there being thirty-two bidders. It
took the clerks and engineers all day
Tuesday and part Of Wednesday to
finish tabulation of the bids so COM
parisons could be made intelligently.
The bids covered a wide range of
work including the drilling of two
wells at the new site for the water
works, furnishing pumps, engines
and motors for hosting the water,
the building of a pump house and
tanks, laying seventeen miles of new
water main, supplying the materials
for the main, including the pipes,
hydrants, valves, auxiliary valves
and cut-offs and then there were all
the minor problems as to what kind
of pipes they should use, what kind
and make of valves and other ma
terials, so that the problem of the
water works resolved itself into a
whole flock of problems. Several
local men were bidding on different
parts of the work and ndfepresentatives
of firms, living in other towns in
Idaho and places in other states.
Each bid was accompanied by cur
rency or certified check for 10 per
cent of the amount involved in the
bid and when the bids were all
opened and lay on the council table,
100000 in certified checks and cur
rency, together with the accompany
ing documents made an armful of
materials which the city clerk
stacked up on the desk and kept his
hand on. Local people will remem-
Der that only few weeks ago the
city clerk, ]. J. Quillan was held up
and robbed of a couple of hundred
dollars at closing time one night,
and he was deposited in the vault.
Someone spoke up at the meeting
and warned him against a recurrence
of that incident and Quillan retorted
