PLAN PROPOSED TO
REMEDY PROJECT
Reclaim Much Land by
Enlargement Of Pres
ent System

Members OF the POcatellO Water
Users association held a meeting
Saturday evening in the Chamber OF
Commerce hall to hear former U. s.
Senator Fred T. Dubois explain all
legislation which has been obtained
on the Fort Hall irrigation project.
Senator Dubois explained the pro-
posed plans for enlarging the pro-
ject SO that additional acreage could
be irrigated. He pointed out that
the government now owns 100000
acre feet Of water, 100000 acre feet
in the Dubois or Blackfoot reservoir
and 10000 acre feet in the Brady
canal and they have available more
than 100000 acre feet Of additional
water. With this total of about AGO.
900 acre feet they are irrigating 40,-
900 acres OF land-28, 900 acres OF
Indian and $4,000 acres Of cedar
lands. Under the present system
there are only 10000 additional
acres of land to be watered.
Senator Dubois also pointed out
that unless the government made
beneficial use of this water they
would lose it after next year. He
showed in detail that there were 82,-
900 acres Of land lying directly un-
der the present system, controlled by
the government, which could be ade-
quately irrigated were the present
system enlarged.
To effect this necessary enlarge
ment Senator Dubois emphasized the
necessity of a thoro survey and a
complete report made by competent
and sympathetic. engineers. He
pointed out $4,000 acres lying be-
tween Pocatello and American Falls,
$4,000 acres of Indian land and 20,-
900 acres Of land between Ross Fork
and Pocatello, owned by white peo-
pie and about 1000 acres of what is
called the Presto bench, that should
be furnished water from the Fort
Hall system.
Senator Dubois stated that at the
meeting of the Idaho Reclamation
association two weeks ago, it was
that II all available ir-
rigation water in the state was
utilized it would irrigate 100000
acres Of new land. "There is almost
one-fourth of this entire acreage ly-
Ing at your door steps," Senator
Dubois told the members Of the asso-
,iation (which can be irrigated by
simply enlarging the present COM
pleted system and the cost will be
mere pittance as compared with any
other contemplated project anywhere
IN the west.
The present system is inadequate
and defective.
, "The reservoir leaks and is a men

and damages private property be-
,ause sufficient water cannot be held
back in the present system to prevent
such an overflow. The present syphon

DISCUSS
WAGES AT CONCLAVE
(By Associated Press)

TOLEDO, O., May 1o-The second
session of the Switchmen's Union Of
North America, now in triennial con-
vention here, opened today with a
discussion of the wage issue. Many
of the delegates were firm against &C
cepting any wage reduction, while the
leaders claimed to be willing to abide
by the decision of the railway labor
board
One of the more conserva tive of the
latter group was S. E. Heberling, of
Buffalo, international president of the
union, who reiterated his statement of
yesterday, that the labor board should
give it's decision before any action is
taken against an imminent reduction
in pay.
The delegates listened to an ad-
dress by John J. Quinlivan, of the
Central Labor union, of Toledo, who
declared that those who prated loud
est in war times about the nobility of
the laboring man now are trying to
put labor conditions back to where
they were 25 years ago.
Mr.. Quinlivan urged the switchmen
to oppose any general wage cut as "a
fight against a return to peonage and
slavery for workers."

PEORIA, ILL.,. May 10 Charges
against the nations grain exchanges
are in the main baseless and have re-
suited from a prejudiced condition
which has been created among the
farmers through dissemination of
false doctrines, according to an ad-
dress by Joseph p. Griffin, president
Of the Chicago board of trade, before
the Illinois grain dealers association.
Mr.. Griffin declared that some farm
ers' organizations had become SO pre-
3"diced that they sought to paralyze
the entire marketing system Of the
~ uLtIy Without providing any substi-
tute.
He asserted that the exchanges were
controlled entirely by the law Of sup
ply and demand. Touching on the
futures market, Mr.. Griffin said the
economic value Of hedging. or price in
surance, was undisputed and that the
necessity of futures market in which
to hedge the farmers grain was recog
nized.
mo conservative bank will make
an unsecured loan to a small grain
dealer who does not hedge his hold
ings because a slump might otherwise
bring ruin" he said The banker
loans his money to business men, not
spectators. Unprotected grain is a
speculation.
elimination of the futures market
means destruction of the economic
functions of the grain exchanges; il
means larger margin between pro-
Queer and consumer and it involves
the danger of price control"
