HARDING PRAISES
DELEGATES WORK
IN CONFERENCE
SAYS RESULTS ARE EXAMPLE TO
IMBUE WITH NEW HOPE ALL
THAT DWELL IN APPREHRN-
SION.
TREATIES ARE SIGNED
President Once Believed In Armed
Preparedness But Now Has Faith IN
A Public Mind Ready to Grant and
Exact Justice.

Washington, Feb 6.--Its covenants
finally signed and sealed, the Wash
ington conference was passed on to
history today by President Harding as
IAN example to Undue with new hope
all that dwelt in apprehension"
Speaking before plenary session
which brought to a close the negotia-
tions begun twelve weeks ago at his in
vitation, he declared that the record of
achievement voiced in courageous tone
the first deliberate and effective ex-
preston of great powers Sin the CON
sciousness of peace, of wars utter fu-
tility."
In the order of their signature, the
instruments to which the plenipoten-
tiaries affixed their names were the
four-power Pacific treaty supplement,
including the principal Japanese is
lands from the scope of the pact; the
fiye-power naval limitation treaty; the
five-power submarine and poison gas
treaty; the nine power general far
eastern treaty, and the nine-power
Chinese tariff treaty.
OF the three other treaties resulting
from the negotiations, that relating to
Shantung was signed Saturday and
those dealing with cable rights in Yap,
and ALLEGATION of the former German
Pacific cables are yet to be put into
final form by direct exchanges between
the interested governments. The four
power Pacific treaty was signed De-
cember 13.
Justifies Conference.
Brief paragraphs from President
Harding's address to the last session
of the delegates follow:
"It little matters what we appraise
as the outstanding accomplishments
Any one of them alone would nave
justified the conference. But the whole
achievement has so cleared the atmos-
,phere that it will seem like breathing
the refreshing air of new morn of
promise
'You have written the first deliber-
ate and effective expression of great
powers in the consciousness of peace,
of wars utter futility, and challenged
the sanctity of competitive prepara-
ton for each others destruction. You
have halted folly and lifted burdens and
revealed to the world that the one sure
way of recover from the sorrow and
ruin and staggering obligations of a
world war is to end the strife in pre-
paration for more of it, and turn hui
man energies to the constructiveness
of peace.

but here is the example, to Undue with

In 1922 Taxes
Auditors Statement Published i'm This
Issue of Press-VauatiOns Decreased
ON Dry Farm Lands-TOtaI VaIua-
tons Decreased.

The county auditors annual finan-
cial report for 1920 appears complete
in this issue of the Press and covers
every detail of county business for the
year ending January Sth, 1921. There
is total decrease in valuation over 1919
amounting to $427 7542.23. This de-
crease is absorbed principally blythe
reduced valuation of dry farm lands
and the loss in livestock. The asses
sed valuation of live stock being re-
duced approximately S155,000
The loss in valuation on dry farm
lands however was more than offset
by the increased valuation placed on
irrigated lands. A loss was sustained
in the valuations placed on power lines
telephones and town improvements.
The abstract of expenses shows that
it cost approximately $1,000 more to
operate in 1920 than in 1919. A large
part of this expense was due to the
cost of the national and state election
of 1920 compared to no election in
1912. And an amount almost equiva-
lent to the balance was the greatly in
creased court cost which in 1920 was
nearly $2500 more than in 1919.
The following offices cost less to

LAST RITES PAID
G|SH BY FRIENDS
Crowded Church Testifies to Esteem
Held for Departed Citizen Services
At L. d. s. Church Monday After
noon.

Every seat was filled and the lobby
of the L. d. s. Church was crowded
with those standing, at the impressive
fueneral of ], F, Gish Monday after
noon in American Falls. Splendid tri-
butes were paid the deceased by speak
ers of the L. d. S. Church, brother
Eagles and friends. The principal ad-
dress of the afternoon was made by
Will Howard who dwelt at length on
the l.. d. S. plan of salvation and ap-
piled it to the departed friend of those
present.
There are only a few of the old
timers left he said "And words are
inadequate to express our sorrow over
this loss"
The service was opened with a song
by quartette consisting of Mrs. John
Ceilings, Miss Alice Howard, George
w. Morris and @. Lee French. Bishop
Beckstead offered an appropriate pray
er followed by ]. A. Hogan of the
Eagles Lodge of Pocatello who read
passages from the ritual of Mr. Gish's
Lodge and stated that it was his belief
that Mr.. Gish had in every way lived
life that measured up to the precepts
of his fraternity. Then followed a sell
ection by the choir. J. l.. Tyler of
Butte, a member of the Eagles then
made a short and fitting address re-
garding the life and good deeds of the
deceased and was followed by solo
by Mrs. John Ceilings. Will Howard
followed with the address of the day
Among those present from out of the
city, besides the ones mentioned were:

APPROPRIATION OF LAST YEAR
SLICED HALF MILLION-NO UN-
DUE OPTIMISM FELT DUE TO
EXPERIENCE OF PAST YEARS.
$354,OOO USED in 1921
Only Twenty Percent of Last Years
Appropriation Became Available Due
To Lack of Money Same Amount
This Year Would Only Take Care Of
Maintenance.

While qualification is expressed To-
cally over the liberal allowance of ST.
100000 made the Minidoka Propect in
the Interior Department appropriation
bill reported to the House Wednesday,
no assurance is felt that this entire
amount or any major portion thereof
will be available for any part of this
project during the next fiscal year.
1t is remembered that the cores
ponding appropriation bill last year
carried $1,750,000 for the Minidoka pro-
ject and also stipulated, as does the
present bill that large portion might
be used in procuring new townsite,
the purchase of righ-of-ways, etc. Fig
ures released by engineers of the Rec
lamation Service yesterday are to the
effect that $354,000 of last years ST.
100000 have been and are available for
the fiscal year that ends in June 1922.
In other words 20 percent of the ap-
propriated amount was made available.
: With on sound reason to expect bet
ter condition in 1922 1t can be estimat-
ed that the actual funds that will be
available this year will approximate
$240,OO0, barley enough to pay main
tenance charges ON the Minidoka pro-
ject and perhaps keep small office
force busy at American Falls.
Maintenance COcts Money.
Maintenance Of the Minidoka project
last year, together with minor con-
struction bills, amounted to approx
mately $175,000. The balance was ex-
pended for development at American
Falls and what remains in the fund is
about the necessary sum to maintain the
,smerican Falls project at its present
Status until the end of the fiscal year.
During the past two years approx
mately $500,000 has been expended at
American Falls or $250,000 a year.
While every favorable consideration
! is given the appropriations bill, the
realization is expressed here that un-
due optomism can be felt regarding the
measure.
The dispatch referred to and carried
by the Statesman yesterday is fol-
lows:
Washington-the Interior depart
ment appropriation bill reported to the
house Wednesday carries most of the
appropriations to be be made this ses-
sion for expenditures in the west.
The bill makes liberal provision for
irrigation in Idaho especially for the
American Falls project and for the
rehabilitation of Fort Hall project.
The total appropriations provided for
American Falls is one million two hun
dred thousand dollars which is accredi-
ted primarily to the Minidoka project.
This proviso commits the govern
ment TO carrying though the American
Falls project.

WHEAT MARKET
GOES SKYWARD
Turkey Red Now Commanding s1.65 o
Hundred in American FallsE Report
Indicates Even Better Figure-Few
Sales.

Wheat in American Falls took five
cent jump Thursday bringing the price
for hard wheat up to $1.65 hundred
with the market apparently strong in
both Chicago and Coast markets. Com
paratively little wheat remains unsold
though there are several farmers who
have large quantities still for SALE
The difference in the price they could
have had in the latter part of Septem-
ber and October is approximately As
cents bushel in favor of the present
market.
Light rains are reported to have
fallen in Oklahoma, Kansas and Ne
braska with little improvement in the
condition of the wheat. More rain is
needed. Minnesota, Montana and the
Dakotas are belived in good condition.
Ideal crop conditions are reported in
France, the United Kingdom and Ger
many. The weather is reported as too
mild in Austria and in Sweden the con-
stant freezing and thawing is damag-
ing the seed to some extent
The visible. supply of wheat in the
United States is reported to have
shown a slight increase during the
week. Movement of wheat has been
better due to lowered freight rates and
better prices. The conclusion of the
daily report of the Portland office of
the Wheatgrowers Association says,
"All foreign markets show improve
ment for the week. From Minneapolis
comes reports of active bidding for
cash wheat with cash prices jumping
far above futures. A situation like this
developing five months before a new
harvest can oily mean still more fav-
orable developments.

COLUMBIA HARRIERS
OUTFOOT RIVALS
Lead Cornell, Dartmouth and
Pennsylvania Over Hill
and Dale.

Harriers OF Columbia University car
ried off the team and two. OF the prin-
cipal Individual, prizes in a six; mile
cross7cnuptry race with representatives
OF Cornell, Dartmouth and, Pennsyl-
,vania decided over the Van Cortlandt
Park trail yesterday. The wearers of
the blue and white of the Morningside
Heights institution of learning were led
to the tape by Walter Higgins. who took
first prize from Elmer McLane OF Penn
sylvanla. the second man, by ten yards.
The time of the winner was sem. 56s.
Columbia's low winning total OF points
was 80; Cornell, 81. second Dartmouth,
5S, third Pennsylvania. 50, fourth.
Higgins's performance was the best
shown by the Columbia flyer since he
won the intercollegiate two mile cham
pionship run six months ago. If he
maintains his present form he will be
hard to beat for individual honors In the
intercollegiate championship cross
country race over the same course No
vember 81. The chances OF success OF
the Columbia team in the title event are
also very bright. The Morningside
Heights collegians feel very much en-
COuraged over tnelf line WORK. lney
raced far beyond their own expectations.
McLane. who won the Junior national
cross-country title last year. turned in
an exceptionally fine performance. He
did most of the pacemaking and only
weakened In the final 200 yards.
Tho Pennsylvania harrier had a BIT OF
bad luck. and II may have had bear
ing on the result considering the close
ress of the finish and the ground he
lost by going a bit outside the course.
This was due to displacement OF one OF
the flags marking off the trail. The
mistake caused McLane TO race twenty
yards further than any other contest
ant. But 1t Is doubtful II he could have
defeated Higgins. who was at his best.
The Columbia runner easily cleared all
obstacles during the race and had plenty
OF speed at all times. Not 80 with Nc
Lane. The obstacles seemed 10 bother
the Pennsylvania barrier very much
and they checked his speed TO a con-
siderable degree. Still he may not have
been in the best Of condition. lie may
show vast Improvement In the coming
championship test.
