.D|PHTHER|A CASES
FOUND IN COUNTY
American Falls Free From COntagion
Thus Far--Mothers Warned Are to
Watch for symptoms of the Dread
Disease.

-Four cases of diptheria were report
ed to the Press yesterday morning, the
first recent indication that the disease
was in existence in the county, with
the exception of isolated cases. An
nouncement of the cases are regarded
as warning of the contagious quail
ties of the disease and the quickness
with which it spreads.
All doubt as to the identy of the dis
ease is dissipated by returns from
laboratory tests, according to DR.. V
G. Logan, one of the county doctors
Cases thus far developed are those OF
Marion Ogden, small daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Ernest Ogden. the small soT
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Weber, the small
son of MIR. and Mrs. James Holloway
north of Rockland, and another cas-,
reported in the Tolman family a
Rockland.
Protection against the disease il
said to be obtained by watching th'
throat carefully, gargling frequentl!
and keeping the body in a good stat,
of health. Anti-toxin as prophalactit
is regarded also as a more or less GER
tain preventative.

MRS. BlCHERD NOT CONNECTED
WITH BURGLARIES AS IMPLIED
First Reports Husbands Confession
Wrongfully Stated-Wiie Ignor-
ant of Husbands Activities.

Reports from Ogden and Salt Lake
to the effect that Mrs. Bacherd, by ur-
guarded questions, disclosed former
burglaries by her husband, We're un-
founded according to verified facts that
have developed following the publica-
ton of the first accounts of the Bach
erd arrest
The corrected statement says that
the police officers at Ogden, telephon-
ed Mrs. Bacherd in the middle of the
night telling her that her husband was
in jail charged with burglary and that
other burglary charges were being in
yestigated. Mrs. Bacherd then asked
If all charges would be filed and in
vestigated together or whether only
the first specific one would be inves-
tigated. The report says that she did
not in any way aid the police in de-
termining the further guilt Of her hus-
band, or know anything regarding his
criminal activities, prior TO the time
the Arrest was made.

LEADER FACTORY
IS j. Of IDAHO
DIR. A. II. Upham, President, Gives In
formal Address and Is rendered
Reception at Methodist Church
Has Faith In Young America.

Enthusiasm for the University of
Idaho'is the only thing ! amt got any
thing else but" said DR.. A. H. Upham,
president of Idaho's State University,
by way of Introduction OF his subject
Tuesday evening at the Methodist
church. And Mr.. Upham didn't leave
slangy taste with any one, even
though he called upon it freely in ex-
preston. His remark was only one of
the many story comparisons he drew
that evoked mirth from his audience
and proved his affabiity.
That the University is a leader fec
tory where raw educational material
from every county in the state is as
sembled into a saleable product of SER
vice to the state, was in effect the
meat OF Mr.. Upham's short address. He
regarded the state university as our
local melting pot and gave three rea-
sons why IL should be supported iH
preference to schols outside the state
The first reason was that Idaho peo-
pei paid the taxes that kept the school
in operation. Secondly, neighborine
states do not want Idaho students OF
they would not raise nonresident
tuition fees TO keep them out. Thirdly
the associations one makes in college
remain with one through life and arc
in valuable in business, and success
full service.
DR.. Upham expressed unfalterinl
faith in the growing generation anC
said in effect that all that was needed
was to stear the youth into the proper
channel, keep him from drifting anC
the results would take care Of them
selves.
A reception was rendered the Uni
versity President in the basemnt d
the church following the address.

NEW OASIS FOUND
IN WEST DESERT
Four Years of Relentless Drilling
Through Lave Rock and Cement
Basalt Rewarded with Ample Flow
of Well Water.

Time, the elements, and near bank
ruptsy did not daunt Griff Yarnell,
who battled four hard years against
the desert out west to obtain the God
given water that means life or death
in the lavas.
Out west, now, is an oasis, where
before no living thing dwelt in the
blistering summer months, and few
animals dared face the winter Only
relentless drilling of Mr.. Yarnell and
the abundant faith and resources of
Walter Sparks brought about the
transformation. For there were many
who said water could never be found
and others who called it fruitless
venture that nature would not reward.
Unlimited Supply.
The well was brought in two weeks
ago after the steel drills had eaten
their way through nearly 700 feet of
hard lava rock and cement basalt
not excelled in hardness. Time and
again the tools were believed lost,
only to be recovered and urged on into
the depths of the earth that border on
the lavas.
Water seems to be available now in
unlimited quantities though its actual
volume has not been learned. Pump
ing equipment has recently been in
stalled at a cost of 81 500 bringing the
cost of the well to an approximate
$4,000.
In Enyiable Position.
The water will be used to care for
the stock of w. S. Sparks and Griff
Yarnell through the hot summer sea-
son. Mr.. Sparks has his cattle in the
desert now and will be the only stock
man who will be able to keep his
stock on the desert all summer Or
dinarilly the pot holes dry up about
the first of May forcing migration tC
| better sources of water. Mr.. Sparks
has four claims fenced against intru.
sion and is belived to occupy an en-
viable position as a stockman. The
well offers the only source of water
for thirty miles, the nearest source
being at Minidoka. 1t is a four hours
ride by automobile from American
Falls.
