other, instead of doing what we are
doing and what we shall do in fu-
ture years, but we lack the vision
we do not know the possibilities OF
the future The signs are here but
people do not study sufficiently the
sign language, and couple it's signifi-
cance with science and mechanics
and movement and increase of peo-
pies, and estimate what it is pos
sible and practical to do with our
resources.
We need more men of vision to
look unerringly into the future and
point out what can be done and give
analysis of the how and the why so
that others who read the signs less
plainly may also couple up the out
standing facts and signs and get the
vision and the faith on which to
base our plans and our works. One
danger point is that men have
planned big things without correctly
analyzing conditions, and allowing
the lust for gain to modify their
plans till disaster~has overcome peo-
pie who went into projects that did
not succeed.
There will be some eminent men
at the Pocatello convention. There
should be some men of vision, who
can speak and point out the signs
of the times and analyze the future

On the thirteenth of June there
will be notable assemblage at Po-
catello to decide whether or not
Idahoans shall go on working in the
organization known as the Idaho
Reclamation association or disband
and let the work fall.
Reclamation is too big an under
taking to be accomplished by in
dividuals working Independently,
and if the work is to be kept up,
there must be an organization that
has support in dollars and cents as
we'll as individual workers devoting
part or all of their time to the tasks.
Had it not been for organized effort
carried on thruout the years in the
face of disbursement as well as
when things looked hopeful, there
would have been no Twin Falls
tracts, no Minfdoka project, no
American Falls canal, none of the
other little empires built ION irriga-
tion of great bodies of land under
one central management, no Arrow
Rock dam and no American Falls
reservoir in prospect.
Ten, twenty and fifty years from
now, men looking back over this
period, witnessing the trend OF
events and the course of material
development, will wonder why we
did not do this and that and the

what human endeavor ought to bring
if banded together in cooperation
and persistent effort. The early part
of the convention will probably be
warming up of mems powers OF
analysis as broad field of facts and
prospects are laid before them, and
in the light of many minds and much
counsel will come pictures of the
future as it must be If left to drift,
and pictures of the future as 1t can

the coming years and determine to
mold events as they should be.
The interests of the whole Snake
river valley are bound together in
reclamation, and of all the communl-
ties that are vitally interested, those
in Bingham county cannot afford to

larger sense, we shall prosper as
great undertakings are carried tc

CARRIERS DEFEND
RATE STRUCTURE
New Charges Have Not
Hindered the :
Operations

WASHINGTON, D. Shipment
of fruit and vegetables from Cali
fornia and Florida have increased
since the new freight rates went into
effect last August, the senate investi-
eating committee was told Friday by
Edward Chambers, vice president OF
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad.
Official figures compiled by the
federal bureau Of markets showed,
Mr.. Chambers said, that during the
six months ended with last March,
shipments from California increased
approximately 400 cars over the total
for the corresponding period the year
before, while from Florida there was
an increase Of about 5000 cars. From
Texas, he said, shipments of vege-
tables increased about 200 cars.
The freight rate does not show
any unreasonable relation to the de-
livered price of goods and it cannot
be shown that in any of the territor-
les it is preventing the resumption of
industrial operations or otherwise
prohibiting movement, Edward
Chambers, vice president Of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, de-
clared before the senate interstate
commerce committee in it's investiga-
tion in the railroad situation.
