SEEKS INFORMATION

Editor Shoshone Journal,-I am one
our city schools who wishes Informal
ton which will enable me to more full
ly understand the financial report OF
District IL, as published in the Journal
last week. AS read this report I
learn that June 30, 1921 there were
outstanding variants totaling the sum
of 2S,35927 against the current ex-
pense fund; that during the year from
June 30, 1921, to June 30, 1922 the cur
rent expense amounted TO s32,760-47.
Had there been no cash received dur
ing the year the current expense fund
would owe the sum of these two
amounts or s61,11eS4 To Offset this,
however, the district received during
the year ss7 .s7s.O1. Applying these re-
ceipts against the cancellation of the
indebtedness leaves an Indebtedness Of
s2s,441.ss, But the hoard Of educa-
ton reports a cash balance on hands
Of s4.s17.54 instead of what appears to
me to be an Indebtedness of s2S,441.S5
AS read the report it seems that the
board deducted the current expense OF
the year from the cash receipts and
reported the difference as a cash ball
ance on hands. ignoring the outstand-
ing Indebtedness of s2s,35s.S7 which
existed at the beginning of the year.
Myself and many other tax payers
wish to know if the true financial con-
dition of district u shows a cash ball
ance on hands June 80, 1922. ready to
be used for schools this fall. or does
the district in reality owe s2s.441-S5
in outstanding warrants?. With apol-
ogies to Hashimura Togo, we ask to
know.

A MILLION NEW CARS

Considerable more thar a million
new automobiles were licensed in the
United States last year. No wonder we
see shoals of new cars on the streets
every day.
The serious problem, in connection
with the operation of automobiles IS
the chance taking at railroad crossings.
In spite of the frightful mishaps re-
ported each day, there is only slight
checking of the evil. The only known
remedy is to ever-lastingly keep on
urging drivers to observe the follow
ing precautions:
When you drive near the railway
tracks that are to be crossed, think of
trains of cars; right there on the tracks
is the only place you will find them.
With such thoughts in your mind,
you will be prepared for any emergency
Most times, there will be no trains
near enough to hinder you, but DON'T
trust to LUCK. LOOK and LISTEN
every time.
If you trust to luck, you are not Civ
ing yourself and your passengers q
fair deal. A professional gambler will
bet almost anything, but he never wa
gers his life He might lose a lot Of
money once and then recoup his losses
in another venture. But everyone of
us know that when he loses his life,
he is going to stay dead.
The man was who killed at a cross
ing yesterday had not desired to die.
There was no end to things to make
life worth while. The man simply fol-
lowed in the steps of thousands who
made the mistake of yielding to a
quick implse of trying to beat train
over a crossing.
Sober second thought would have
saved him; so we close this little ap-
peal with a solumn warning that now
is the time to call halt. and CROSS
CAUTIOUSLY.

this reason public sentiment and full

Subsequently the Labor Board has
declared that the rules and working
conditions under which the mechanical
forces were working before the strike
are still in full force and effect. They
cannot be changed except by an agree

management of this system, or in event
of failure to reach mutual agreement
by our employees (not former employes)
and the management, ex-parte or
jointly referring the disagreement TO
the L. S. R. r. Labor Board for de-
cfsiehy therefore, since our former en-
ployes left our service of their own
free win and accord hereby eeasing
to be employees of this system, the pub
lie, and those who have remained loyal
w WI oRA tNC c4-0 tistSC WHO nave
entered our employ daily may rest as
surred that the management Of this
system will use every resource at it's
command to keep faith with them and
unqualifiedly pledges it's self to make
no settlement Of the strike which will
in any manner whatsoever deter them
of their rights of jobs which they have
gained in accordance with shop crafts
agreement and the declaration Of the
Labor Board.
The only way that any one OF our
former employees may enter our service
as a new employe and the opportunity
to even thus enter the service is grow
ing less day by day owing to the fact
that our forces are rapidly increasing.
The public will keep in mind the
fact that this strike is not against this
railroad system but that it is against
the decision of an agency OF our gov
ernment, therefore the strike simply
resolves it's self into the question
whether the orderly processes of law
and order shall prevail. The manage
ment of this system has religiously at
all times kept faith with it's employees

and it always viii.

The j. c. Penney chain store organ
ization is more than making good on
it's claim of being the largest chain
department store organization in the
world by recently opening SO new
stores, making a total of 81 now in
the organization. The success of this
great corporation lies in its compact
system by which every employee and
every one connected with it in any
manner becomes a most enthusiastic

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE
TROUBLE AT THE MAGIC
DAM

The outlet for water from the Magic
reservoir is through a concrete tunnel
passing under the dam This tunnel
has it's intake inside the great concrete
tower some three or four hundred
feet out in the reservoir from the base
of the dam. The control works at the
tower consists of two gates which are
regulated by machinery near the top,
of the tower. In the early spring these
gates were examined and found to be
apparently in first class working con-
dition. When the stage of the water
made it necessary to begin using the
gates it was necessary only to use one
of them. Later, June 7th., when it
was desired to use the second gate it
was found to be stuck and could not
be opened by the machinery designed
for that purpose.
In order to reach the stuck gate with
any sort OF tools to force it open it
would be necessary to shut down the
one gate now open for an indefinite
time, with the possibility Of its also
getting stuck and thus shutting Off
the water entirely. 1t must be remem-
bered that the water outside the tower
stands at 10 feet and these gates are
at the bottom of the tower. The ter
rife suction of a foot column of
water under a 10 foot pressure thru
the open gate shows the futility of at
tempting to work on the broken gate
until such time as the water can be
entirely shut off for. an indefinitely
long period This makes it necessary
to wait until the rush of the irrigating
season is over to avoid a serious short
age of water being delivered.
Every effort possible has been put
forth by the board of directors and by
John Bailey, manager, to open the
gate but to no avail. Every engineer
within reach has been consulted but
all agree that the job can only be done
by first closing the other gate for an
indefinite period.
The Water Situation.
Last week, and up to the present,
Wednesday, this week, there is being
delivered through the one good gate
more than was delivered last year
during the corresponding period. There |
is 1000 acres less in cultivation under |
the system this year than last. 1t is
apparent from these facts that so long |
as these conditions exist there is no
danger of serious shortage of water |
If the available supply is used wisely |
and conservatively. ;s-
During the past week or ten days |
many water users have been hysteric-
ally using every available inch of water /
even irrigating fields already too wet. |
for fear the water supply will stop en-
tirely. II every one faces the situa-
-ion calmly and judiciously il is evil
dent that no serious damage need re-
suit so long as the one open gate de-
ivers more water than was delivered
ast season, and with ? 1000 acres less
and to irrigate. Don't get excited and
above all don't permit yourself to be
ed into rash actions through any Of
he innumerable rumors as TO the sit
Iation and the responsibility for the
conditions as they really are, not as
umors paint them.

DOES SHOSHONE WANT A FIRST
CLASS HOSPITAL
Contributed.

During the last two weeks there has
been started a movement among the
Residents of Lincoln county for the pur-
pose of having Shoshone recognized as
a. central location for the care of the
sick and injured in this county and the
surrounding territory.
For many years, in fact ever since
there has been settlement here at
Shoshone, it has been necessary to
either send the sick and injured out OF
town for service, or have some sur
geon or consulting physician come here
and avail themselves of the efficient
but limited facilities we have here.
oreihavtheaofethR
The time has arrived when Shoshone
has an opportunity to interest a Nurs-
ing Order in a hospital here at Sho-
shone and the question arises, can we
meet the necessary terms that will be
REQUIRED to have this order establish
first class hospital fully equipped here
for our use?
This same order was invited to sur
vey the plant in an adjacent town and
were entertained in fitting manner,
with banquet and speeches. and more
than all this, they were offered the un-
divided support of that enterprising
community. Needless to say, the gen.
tlemen who were there in the interests
Of the Nursing order were very much
impressed with the outlook and prom
ised TO give their offer the considera-
tion it merited.
This town where the banquet ana
reception was held lies between Sho-
shone and the Snake River and we

II had suffered from indigestion
and poor circulation for a year or
more and when my father started
me on Tanlac I scarcely had
strength to put one foot in front of

the folks at home were all uneasy
about my health and, to tell the
truth, I was scared nearly out OF
my wits, for I thought I would
never get we'll.

nerves are normal, my stomach in

Two factors are likely to. focus
interest in the next adoption of
textbook for Kentucky schools in
1924. Adoption is held every five
years. One factor is the objection
recently voiced by the Sons of the
American Revolution against a GER
tain American history used in the
schools of this State which it is
speaks disparagingly of figures in
the Revolutionary War.
An organization of the character
of the Sons of the Revolution
backed by allied organizations like
the Daughters of the Revolution
and the Colonial Danes may be ex-
pected to make such protest felt
and arouse considerable sentiment.
The next School Textbook Com
mission is destined to encounter an
other element in opposition to some
books now being used. Defeated in
the last Legislature after a long
and bitter fight, opponents of the
theory of evolution, which they
charge was being taught in schools,
announced that they would carry
the fight before the State Textbook
Commission in the effort to prevent
the selection of textbooks alleged
to promote this theory.
With two societies going after
histories and anti-monkey origin
advocates seeking to suppress the
theory of evolution, men charged
with the selection of school books
will be relieved of monotony in
proceedings.

When life is a gloom, and your

To suddenly hear ringing out loud
and CHEEKY:
Good Morning, Old Pal"

you are doing
Will BUST and the dream that your
heart is pursuing
Will break; but you suddenly stop
all your rueing
At Hello, Old Pal"
Life would be futile and barren
and broken,
If out of the kingdom of loves
ne'er were spoken
The word that is friendships best
symbol and token:
"GOd Bless You, Old Pal"
Thang God for the pals who are
never forgetting,
Who just at the moment our sad
hearts are fretting,
Put an end to our gloom and our
dreary regretting
With Cheer Up, Old PAL
Some day when the heart turns for
ever to dreaming,
And over our eyes Heavens glory
is streaming,
How good it will be mid the stars
deathless cleaning
To hear Welcome. Old Pal"
