Government WIN Not Build Dam I'm
less Companies Comply With Con-
tract and Pay Assessments Now
Past Due Says FIenner.

Pocatello, Idaho, March 14.-The
headquarters of the Idaho Reclama-
tion Association makes the statement
that there seem to be some people in
the Snake River Valley who believe
the American Falls, project will be
built by the government whether wa
ter users participate in the cost or not.
By way of dispelling any further
doubts on this subject, the Associa-
ton gives out letter from A. P.
Davis, Director General of the Recla-
nation Service, Washington, d. c.,
who is also speaking for Secretary
Fall, in which again the official state
ment is made that the American Falls
project will not be constructed unless
the contracting companies and dis
tricts meet their obligations. The
letter follows:

Mr.. Guy Flenner, Managing Director,
Idaho Reclamation Association,
Pocatello, Idaho.
My dear Mr.. Flenner:
Your letter of February % to Hon.
AlUSKL ID. II all O0CTeLdTy OI pu6 IuL6T-
Tor, enclosing brief which you have is
sued concerning the American Falls
project, has been received and refer
red to this office.
I note that you sometime encounter
belief that the Government will go
ahead with this project whether the
companies meet their obligations or
not.
On this subject am glad to see that
the brief you have enclosed states the
position correctly so that There is no
room for doubt that the Government
will abandon the American Falls pro-
ject unless the companies and dis
tricts contracting for storage water in
the reservoir make their. payments. ~
see this idea reiterated in other
parts of the document and l wish to
confirm the correctness of same. This
condition is necessitated by the in
exorable situation, financial, and 9TH
erwise, and should be thoroughly un-
derstood.
Yours truly,
((Signed) A. p. DAVIS,
Director.

Banks said today that two of the indi-
viduals who voted in opposition to the
district plan explained that they had
done so because they preferred to pay
cash for water from the American
Falls reservoir for which the canal
company has contralted 1t was point
ed out that the same purpose could be
served by their purchase of bonds is
sued by the district for the purpose of

which previously had dropped seven
out of nine games, took bracer and

To top it off, the Press team which had
been running poor fourth, won three
straight from the Officials team
Thursday evening-while the latter
was tied for the league leadership. Tie
Press now tops the list with Oliver Nc
Kown and the Officials team tied for
second place.
The Press team rolled one of the
highest series of the winter when it
averaged 164 pins per man last night
