No Decision Was
Reached at Water ~.
Meeting Wednesday

At a reservoir meeting held at
Idaho Falls Wednesday evening to
try to reach a decision as to whether
or not the upper valley would favor
the American Falls reservoir or
turn their attention to the storage
of water above them.
No decision was reached, but it
was shown that the jackson Lake
would not store enough for the
available lands in the upper valley
even If we acquired all Of it, and
that 1t might be better to store
water above us and try to get
enough to develop the whole area
that is ready for water. The Idaho
Falls Chamber of Commerce is anxi-
GUS to get the cooperation of all
towns OF. the upper valley to work on
this idea and will probably call a
meeting Of such representatives
soon.

BLACKF00T WINS
FIRST in MEET
Eleven Men Out of the
Thirteen Entered Win
Medals or Points

Blackfoot high school again DEM
onstrated her superiority over the
various high schools Of southeastern
Idaho by capturing first place in the
biz invitation track and field meet
held in Blackfoot Friday Of last
week.
Blackfoot's runners and field men
easily ilista,ced their rivals by TAX
ing q total Of 75h points out of q
possible total Of 143, winning eleven
gold medals, Nix silver medals, two
bronze and tying for third. The
records made, while not state
records, will compare favorably with
those Of the average district meet.
Pocoatello, Idaho Falls and
Downey, who came doped to win q
large number of points had to be
satisfied with what they could get.
Pocatello won second place with
seventeen points; Idaho Falls third
with sixteen; Downey fourth with
fifteen. The Blackfoot boys showed
their real mettle as well as their
heels to the other teams from the
start OF the pistol in the first event
when Hickenlooper and Packham
won first and second places respect
lively in the fifty yard dash. This
feat was duplicated by Anderson and
Johnson in the high hurdles while
Taylor and Halverson almost duph-
Gated it in the half mile run winning
first and third respectively. One OF
the prettiest races of the day was
that of the half mile in which Taylor
Of Blackfoot ran fitth for the first
three-eighths OF mile and then by
fine exhibition of sprinting stepped
out and passed every man and led
to the tape by a margin OF ten yards
In the fast time Of two minutes
eleven seconds. This is all the more
remarkable In the fact that 1t is
Taylor's first year in track. He will
make an excellent man in this event
as we'll as the 44O in any college
that he may attend.
The most spectacular finish dur
ing the day was in the mile run
when Pierce of Idaho Falls barely
nosed out, Halverson Of Blackfoot
at the tape and had not the Idaho
Falls runner fallen in front Of Hal
verson at the finish it would have
been a dead race.
Blackfoot showed it's well-bal-
anced team by the fact that eleven
men of thirteen entered in the meet
succeeded in winning points and
medals in the meet.
BY winning the two relays, Black
foot succeeded in keeping in their
possession all the cups offered for
the meet, thereby having three addi-
tional cups to place in their trophy

mine Cause of Waves.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
What causes a ''tarred" road TO de-
velop that peculiar scrubbing-bOard
surface is a question that has been
worrying the highway engineers quite
as much as the .lOng-suffering public.
AS often as not the symptoms appear
in a macadam road that has been
treated with asphalt. But the trouble
Is largely confined to roads built with
tar or asphalt. Concrete and brick
roads never develop such a surface,
and ordinary dirt roads seldom do.
The bureau of public roads of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture is building at the Arlington
Va.) experimental farm an expert
mental roadway 10 feet wide in an at
tempt TO discover the cause of the
trouble. The road is laid out in the
form Of circle with a 9O-fOOt radius,
and its circumference. $50 feet in
length, is TO be divided into sections,
each of which will be surfaced with
a different kind of asphalt or tarred
surface.
The experimental sections will he

and when completed they will carry
traffic" rs much like actual traffic
as 1t is possible to devise. The "traf-
fic" will be supplied by a driverless
mOtOrtrucS which will be held 10 the
circular path by means of a long arm
extending from the center. The course
Of the truck will be altered from time
TO time So that the entire width ef the
roadway will be travelled.
1t has not been possible TO determine
the cause by observation of actual
roads because there are too many un-
known quantities. The defect may be
due to distortion of the earth under
the road surface or TO defects in the
surface itself Ii is probably caused

OILED ROADS ARE APPROVED
Operation Must Be Performed lntelIi-
gently or 1t Will Make Con-
ditions Worse.

The American Highway Bulletin,
which approves of oiled roads, OBJ
serves that oiling must be performed
intelligently or it will make conditions
worse instead of better. According to
this authority it is useless to oil dirt
road which is not thoroughly drained
and properly graded. 1t is waste of
money to oil Il road which does not
have a smooth hard surface free from
dust. If the surface is uneven, oil
collects in shallow depressions and
softens the surface so that after the
first heavy rain the travel tends to
make mudholes at these places. II
there is dust on the road, the oil COM
bines with the dust to form a sort of
mat, which the travel over it quickly
breaks up into large flakes or scales
But If the road is in proper condition
TO receive the oil and the right kind
OF oil is used, the oil percOlates into
the pores of the earth for a depth Of
several inches sealing them with an
asphaltic binding material which
unites the surface into tougher mass
than the original surface. The oil
cannot make the road any harder, for
only stone or gravel will accomplish
that, but 1t will prevent the, displace-
ment of the earth particles under any
loads which an earth road is adapted
to carry. If the oiled surface is i'm
mediately covered with a thin layer OF
clean, hard sand, the travel will not
disturb the oil and the travellers will
suffer less inconvenience.
