of peaches, first for grapes and first
and second for prunes. In grain and
seed, 2 first prizes, second and 8
third prizes were captured. All told

auspices of the County Farm Bureau
and the Commercial Club with Coun-
ty Agent F. L. Williams in charge,

BLACK CANYON Dam
IS FUTURE CERTAINTY
Congressman French
Will Be One of First Projects to
Be Constructed When
Funds Available.

Il cannot tell you people de-
finitely when the Black Canyon
dam will be built, because ! do
not desire to promise something
that / am not sure can be fulfill
ed. But l can say this with cer-
tainty: That this important pro-
ject is looked upon with very
great favor by the reclamation
department and il to be one Of
the first projects to be undertak-
en- when funds are available. l
believe, in my own mind, that the
work will be started next year."

The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1921-09-29

The above statement, made by Con-
gressman Burton L. French at an in
formal meeting in the Commercial
Club rooms at Caldwell yesterday
while en- route for trip through the
Black Canyon District lands and the
Emmett Irrigation District, may be
considered as the situation of the
Black Canyon dam project. This
statement was reiterated at meeting
held in Parma at noon and at the
meeting in Liberty theater in En-
NETT last evening, except the last SEN
tence. Perhaps Mr.. French's words
would like, but when taken in connec-
tion with his personal optimistic feel
irg and belief tnat it is only matter
of short time until construction
work will be in progress, there is
much of cheer in his statement.
Yesterdays personal inspection of
the project from one end to the other
is another strong link welded into the
chain of events that have been in
process of making during the past
year-a chain that when the last link
has been forged will link the govern
ment with one of the great reclama-
tion projects in Idaho. That link, The
Index confidently believes, will be
forged early next year. The Index is
of the opinion that deep down in his
heart Mr.. French is of the same be-
lief.
Congressman French was met in
Boise Wednesday morning by party
of Emmett men, composed of D. H.
Van Deusen, V. T. Craig, Charles E.
MacLean, DR.. E. G. Keith and an In
dex representative. With Mr.. French
aboard the party left Boise in Mr..
Van Deusen's car at o'clock for
Caldwell. There, after a short meet
ing in Commercial Club rooms, which |
was largely attended, the company
was augmented by three more auto
loads, and the journey was continued
TO Parma. There another big meeting
attended by earnest business men who
realize the Importance of this great
An appetizing lunch
was served in Parma's fine commun-
ty church, and then, with another
suto load of Parma men in the cara
van, the party was off to New Ply
mouth. A short stop there, another
luto load added, and then the train
ped on its way, over the Falk bridge

Hospital Name Changed. Will
Probably Build in Spring

A meeting of the members of the
Newport Hospital. association Inc,
was held at the Goodrich Library
Wednesday evening. Although the
attendance was small, it was offset by
enthusiasm. The principal business
to come before the meeting was to see
if the members would vote to change
the name of the hospital association.
When the hospital project was first
launched, the name decided upon was
Newport Hospital association, Inc.
AS time went on and funds began to
accumulate, the officers Of the asso-
citation were satisfied that q hospital
for Newport was assured in the near
future. It was then that it was de.
cided to conduct drive for funds for
drive is well known around the coun-
ty.
The response from all the towns in
the county exceeded expectations, and
out of the generous gifts the officers
and members of the association sought
to have change in the name, which
was unanimously voted at this meet
ing, and the association from now on
will be known as the Orleans County
Memorial Hospital Association, Inc.
| Mrs. Walter Human presented a
formulated plan of a building which
she thought, would be suitable for a
hospital building, the dimensions to
/ be 40 by sc feet, three stories with a
rear extension of 24x24 feet On this
proposed plan estimates as to the cost
! of such were secured from Contractor
1 H. O. Smith, which was about SAT 900.
!. The building is to be of colonial
style and brick veneer.
The building will be divided into sew
eral rooms and apartments, wards
offices, sun parlors, operating room
and maternity ward. Nothing was
overlooked by Mrs. Human that would
give Newport an up-to-date hos
pital building in every respect. Mrs
Human recommended building of
20 private wards, each to be IL by Is
feet, of sufficient size if circumstances
demanded that two cots could occupy
each room. Then there was the kitch
en-, superintendent office, reception
room, rest room, linen closet, public
baths, maternity department and nur-
sery, women's ward, mems ward, sit
ting room for nurses, ETC.. Some dis
!, cussion took place on various matters
and it was thought best for commit
tee to visit other established hospital
/ buildings, which might give them
valuable information. The committee
will continue to work along the lines
of plans and specifications with the
idea that in the early spring building
operations will begin.
