 They came, they telephoned, they telegraphed. and they sent for election news. The Age-Her- aid had many visitors Tuesday night, as results began to elSe in, and later pour in, from the coun- ty and outside.
 With the democratic ticket as- sured of ratification in Alabama, inquiries regarding the state elec- tion were confined principally to the two proposed amendments. Visitors from New York, New Jer- sey, Ohio, Tennessee, and other states. however, called at The Age Herald office, and went away with varying shades of pleasure and displeasure.
 The Age-Herald was glad to be able to render service to such large number of inquirers. It well comed all of them, and enjoyed serving each of them.

What is thought to be the poison OF
the fifteenth-century Borgias has
been transmitted to a curio collector
here with serious effect. The col
| lector recently bought ring IN
Turin. Italy, made in the form OF q
serpent and guaranteed to be of the
Borgia period. The buyer wore the
ring, and, returning here. found that
his ring finger and forearm had be-
come swollen.
A doctor was called and declared
that poisoning was due to the ring.
Investigation found that there was a
small hole under the serpent's head
and from this the poison was emitted
but time had weakened it's strength.

others. on a charge of using the mails
to defraud The grand jurors heard
further testimony and caused the
books of the concern to be brought

tract were approved and COLLECTIONS

aside from the false interpreta-
tions that have been placed upon
these petitions, the fact remains
that IL blanket relief were extended,
the reclamation fund would be de-
prived of its source of income to that
extent, and that is the situation the
friends of reclamation are undertake
ing to compose.
I'VE have every reason to believe
that the American Fails project will
be tied down within a short time so
that its ultimate completion will be
assured, but there are many other
problems confronting this state and
the arid West that must be solved,
and the executive officers of this As
ISOLATION trust that all proposed ac-
lions of individually and communi-
ties will be given most careful con-
sideration, to the end that We be
mot defeated in our aims by COM
munity division or sectional selfiLh-
ness.
This Association is undertaking,
while promoting the interests of re-
clamation generally in our state, to
secure any possible relief for set
tiers. but would deplore amy action
that would not only defeat the
granting in some manner of legiti
mate relief, but would impair and
possibly defest the general reclama-
ton program, which Is bound up in

RECLAMATION ASSOCIATION

Pocatello, January 28.-The fol-
lowing statement has been given out
by the Idaho Reclamation Associa-
don:
There seems to- be some misun-
derstanding of the situation in re-
gard to reclamation matters in Ida
no. especially in the southeastern
part OF the State.
I'm order tn make it plain, the
public is asked Ito visualize two an
giles of the situation:
First, the American Falls Stor-
age Reservoir project;
Second, the Government, or Min
idoha project, as having relation ITO
applications therefrom by settlers in
regard to making extensions of time
On payments.
AS to the American Falls, the
problem has been to tie the project
down and avoid possible Temporary
or other abandonment by THE Recla-
nation Service until such time as
the contracting companies and dis
tr1cts under the proposed project
could handle their securities so AZ to
make payments as agreed upon.
These districts are practically all de-
linquent owing to general financial
conditions.
The work that has been done for
some time has been directed to con-
v1ncing Director Davis and other
leading Officials of the Reclamation
Service that the people who are par
ties to these contracts through their
districts and companies, have al
ways intended to meet their obliga-
lions, have exhausted their resources
to do SO, and intend to liquidate so
soon as it is humanity possible, and
merely ask time ITO negotiate their
or to make other provision
for payment. Director Davis has
been convinced of the good faith of
the contracting parties.
"On the Minidoka project there is
an entirely different matter, and, al
though ut has bearing upon the AM
erican Falls, it bears principal re-
lattonship to the McNary-Smith bill,
insofar as new or unapproved and
collections projects are concerned.
Settlers on the Minidoka project
asked for extensions, and their op-
were Interpreted in Wash
ingtOn Thy enemies of reclamation in
such a way as to seriously menace
the passage OF the McNary-Smith
bill.
"When this Association laid tho
matter before representa- ives OF
these settlers, 1t was found that
they had no purpose in mind except
ing to secure RELIEF in manner that
would not interfere with the general
program. There was es-
no desire to interfere with
the tAnerosn Faiis, which, irrssvec-
