Cold as low as 17 Fahrenheit above zero or as high as 100 Farhenheit above, if continued for two or three days, will destroy them. The cold might be applied in the north, for instance in country houses whose owners leave them unoccupied during the winter, or in houses that can be evacu- ated for few days. The service offers no suggestion as to the heat end of the problem, but a roaring furnace for two or three August days might serve-if the owners could camp out for the inter val.

ANOTHER RURAL ROUTE
NEEDED
Petitions Being Circulated for
Additional Mail Facilities
in Valley.

The Commercial club is backing a
movement to establish another rural
mail route out of Emmett. Mr.. Bal
lard, former postoffice inspector.
has been employed to circulate petit
tons, prepare maps and other neces-
sary data to present to the postoffice
department to show the necessity for
increasing the mail facilities to rural
residents in this section.
The proposed new route will be
composed of portions taken from the
two present routes and territory COW
ering the bench and East Slope. An
investigation discloses that both of
the present routes are overloaded.
Route No. serves 3l1 families and
Route No. 287 families.
Mr.. Ballard is now actively at work
on the proposition and it is hoped to
have the new route in operation be-
fore fall.

Will Not Abandon Canal

In an opinion as to whether, when
the irrigation district takes water
from the Black Canyon dam, it for
feits claim to the old ditch, Attorney
for the District J. NJ. Thompson says:
"The right Of way acquired by deed
without reservation belongs absolute
ly to the district and no principle of
abandonment would apply to the ditch
whether used or not. l understand
that a portion Of the ditch and right
of way is held by deed. The district
is public corporation. The title
purchased vests in the district which
holds the property in trust for the
uses and purposes for which the dis
trict was organized, and as remem-
Der, the resolutions passed calling the
election to vote upon the contract be-
tween the United States and the Dis
trict provide that that portion of the
ditch between the Black Canyon dam
and the present dam would be used
as an auxiliary and that it was not
the intention to abandon that portion
Of the ditch. Mr.. Stoutemyer, attor-
ney for the government, stated that
he thought the easement might lapse
IN five years if it were not used. |
But use of it certainly can be made
'ometime during each five years"

The effect was spotted, as usual.
On the bench, some orchards of

others have from a quarter to half
of normal crop. Charlie Kester re-
ports full crop. Jack Soran reports
a full half crop of both prunes and ap-
pies on the Happy Hollow ranch, and
Mr.. Aston reports the Gaeblef or

The Black Canyon District is to
share in the cost of the construction
of the dam on $3.50 basis, whenev-
er the dam is made use Of by hat
district. When that will be no one
knows now. But it should be borne
in mind that the government would
never build the dam for the Emmett
district alone. 1t is in duty bound TO
provide water for the Black Canyon
district land owners. That the gov
ernment is anxious to start con-
struction of the Black Canyon dam
is indicative of its intention to take
up the irrigation Of Black Canyon
lands as soon as the dam is completed.
1t is freely predicted that this will be
undertaken in 1923, thus relieving
the Emmet district Of one-half of the
debt before a single payment will be
required.

So the situation is promising. The
future looks bright if the contract is
ratified at Saturdays election. 1t
win change doubt to certainty. It
will enable every land owner and wat
er user to get the full producing abil-
ity Of their lands every season. In
stead of the district being pointed to
with doubt and its securities going
begging, it will be pointed to with
pride and its securities rated among
the topnotchers. The defeat of the
contract means that another such
opportunity will never be presented,
because the government has many
other projects beseeching with out
stretched arms for the funds it is
ready to place at the disposal of the
Emmett district. So make the vote
Saturday unanimous.

The new dam will stabilize land
vslues and make them ample securi-
ty for federal or private loans. 1t
will enable the district to qualify as
to security for the bond issues, as re-
quired by the new state law. The
passage of this act requires that all
future issues of bonds will have to
be certified by a state commission,
and any boEd issue not certified will
have hard shedding among bond buy
ers. Without such certifcation the

bonds of the district, which begin to
