FORMED WITH SEVEN SUBEXECUTIVES
Idaho Reclamation
to Hold Meeting
In Boise Soon

BOISE, Idaho.-What is expected
to be the largest reclamation gather
ing in the northwest up to date, the
most representative and the mos
productive Of direct results Il
scheduled for Pocatello the latter
part of May to be held under the
auspices of the Idaho Reclamation
association, the child of the late
Major Fred r. Reed.
President S. E. Brady, of the asso.
citation, was in Boise from Pocatello
the other day and held conference
with directors in this part Of the
state. In view of the pendency of
national reclamation legislation of
vital Importance it was decided that
1t was necessary to adopt some plan
to secure the views of the people of
irrigable Idaho, supplemented as it
would be by individual official ex-
preston.
"We want to know what the peo-
pie want" That is the message COM
ing from Washington. This does
not imply that information carried

not in the main represent the general
arid west conditions, but that there
is growing desire for more popu-
lar expression.
It is felt that it is only thru state
reclamation organizations that such
expressions can be secured and
voiced effectively. At the Pocatello
meeting the message will be direct to
those in charge of reclamation mat
ters. Efforts are being made to in
duce Secretary Of Interior Fall to be
present and it is known that others
high in departments bearing on
reclamation will be there.
Broad Representation
1t is planned to have every section
of the southern part Of the state
represented at the Pocatello gather
ing, the date Of which will be fixed
rs soon as harmonizing arrange
nents can be made as to attendance
rom Washington, d. G..
Chambers of Commerce, county
commissioners, irrigation organiza-
lions and others will be invited to
send delegates.

lie interest by being unsanitary, un.
slightly or menace of any kind, re-
port as follows:
We believe the town was never in
better condition than it is now, and
never in greater need of a cleanup
to satisfy the public need and the
public demand as measured by cur
rent standards of order and cleanli-
ness.
The First Cleanup
When the first cleanup was ord
cred by proclamation of Mayor
Younie in 1908, the town was in a
horrible condition as compared with
the present time, but there was no
public demand for anything better,
and it was not until weeks clean
up had been made that general ap-
probation began to be manifested,
and thereafter there was constantly
increasing public demand for order
and sanitary conditions.
The public tolerated conditions in
1908 which they would not permit at
all in 1918. People who have made
thoro cleanup once, become accus-
toned to that better condition and
seldom il ever lapse to the old COM
dition. Some become self-satisfied,
and without realizing it they let a
bad condition grow upon them gradu-
ally. Some regard the rest of the
town as their natural enemy instead
of their friend, and they resist every
effort to get them to better their own
condition.
The Present Condition
The spring Of 1921 witnessed con-
siderable effort to clean the town,
but storms interrupted 1t. The health
officer, DR.. Patrie, published warn
ing notice and gave a time limit for
completion, and two snow storms
came during the period named and
made 1t impossible to obey the order,
for the reason that trash was too wet
to burn and the road repair work be-
tween town and the city dump made
it next to impossible to haul away
the trash. The mayor issued pro-
clamation for cleanup week, and
more storms nullified the effort. The
road work Is now completed and it is
now practical to burn or haul trash,
excepting from certain blocks that
the hemmed in temporarily by street
construction work.
Your committee took up it's work
of inspection intending to make de-
tailed report that would classify each
mans premises, and point out the
extreme conditions or those that
were found to be worse than the

1t is reported from Washington

president, secretary of the treasury
and Republican leaders of the house,

recover certain movables consisting
of furniture and household goods
valued at about $40, has found it's

fore the justice of the peace, judg-
ment was rendered in favor Of plain
tiff, awarding her the custody of the
goods in controversy. Defendant an

tribunal, after hearing, reversed the
award of the justice of the peace and
rendered judgment in favor Of de-
PENDANT, which judgment was sub

grieved at the district courts decision

ton and mandamus, which writs were

trict Judge, Hon. Sam A. Leblanc,
to transmit the record in the case to
the higher court, in order that the
validity of the proceedings may be
ascertained and in the meantime to
take no further action until further
orders of the supreme tribunal.

whose behalf application was made
