If the program of the reclamation
engineers is carried out, the rail
road TO the dam and the town would
be in Nevada and the power plant
they propose would be constructed
and operated by private capital and
would be in Nevada, adding greatly
TO Nevada's taxable wealth. The
Lees Ferry dam and power plant
would be entirely in Arizona. This
situation alone demands the atten-
ton of Arizona S taxpayers There
are, however, economic and engin-
eering considerations far more vital
to all.
A dam for either of the proposed
storage reservoirs would have no
value as q diversion dam for irriga
ton, as the cost of canal in the
canyon from either dam would be
entirely out of proportion to the
prospective value Of the land that
could be irrigated by it.
Owing to the wide variation in
the flow of the river from wear to
year, no storage reservoir can have
too great storage capacity either
for food control, for irrigation. or
for power-the more storage the
better for all these needs.
"The Lees Ferry site for flood
control has decided advantages ov-
er the Boulder Canyon site. While
it will not intercept the flood Of
several small streams below that
would be intercepted by a dam at
Boulder Canyon, it has feasible
storage capacity three times great

which is 175 miles long and lis feet

Il believe the feasibility of build

ed by the Reclamation engineers, is

ing standpoint under the adverse

waste of valuable time and manv

possible changes of time may con

providing "that cooperative associa-

The purpose of this amendment is to

Other important provisions Of the bill
prescribe that no member OF an asso-

how much stock he holds; nor can any
association pay dividends on stock in
excess Of 5 per cent q year.

CHISHOLM, March Especial to
the Rip-sav. Some time ago, over in
bibulous Bull, Chief McAlpine, Of the
fire department, was given two black
eyes, which ne wore home as a memento
Of his visit to the nearby burg. 1t is
alleged that Chief McAlpine got his
optical decorations in sar fight with
fsLeftie Louie. Buhl panderer, pre-.
sumably ina quarrel over q painted

It is assumed that Chief MeAlpine
was in Bull IN search of moonshine and
.Dago red, two drinks Of which he is
very fond. Long ago, the Rip-saw told
q story about Chief McAipine taking
the departmental ear TO Kinney for a
cargo of choice wine. 5
Chief McAlpine is charged with com
ing to the firehall late at night, more
than once, and waking up some Of the
firemen to come down and fix his tires
so that he can 60 on a cruise for a cargo
Of sDago red. ~.
If there is anything that Chief Nc
Alpine likes better than moonshiae

Many have wonders Why the local

heed to bindpigging. There was time
when he was active, jealous and sue.

Of lawlessness. In explanation Of this
change Of heart, attitude or policy, some
allege that Carlos Avery, head. of the
state game department, has given Mr..
Powers specific orders not to mix in the
enforcement of the liquor laws. If
true, that order is very interesting. !
Some time ago, some of the boys got
into trouble. One Of the bunch retained
Hon. Mr.. MePartlan to defend him,
The statesman7attorney looked into the
matter and advised his client to plead
guilty. He did so, was fined tightly,
but he was charged fee Of $500 by
McPartlan.
Other members or the gang retained
Judge Palmer. He not only eased them
out Of their trouble quite satisfactorily,
but charged them only SIS each for his
legal services. That light charge may
mean many blindpigger votes when
Judge Palmer again runs for office.
The blindpiggers who went to Jail
after their arrest by the federal agents
are loose again and rambling about ac-

GRASSHOPPERS TAKE A
LIKING FOR SILK HOSIERY

1t is a known fact that grasshoppers
have voracious appetites and have been
credited with eating off fence posts
and the spokes of wagons and the like,
but H. L. Gerber, proprietor of the
Gerber Cash store, and generally noted
for his veracity, who returned from
Rudyard last Sunday evening, brings
back the story that owe in that coun-
try the grasshoppers have just made
their appearance and in addition to
eating everything they come in con-
tact with, have a special appetite for
silk, eating the stockings right off the
women. He knows that this is true for
when he and his wife returned from a
long automobile trip out into the coun-
try, her stockings were full of holes.
They had driven through swarms of
the hoppers and hundreds of them got
in to the car.
He also tells of another instance of
a young lady where they were visiting.
She washed her white silk stockings
and hung them out on the line to dry.
When she went out to bring them in
a few hours later, they we're all in
shreds with a hundred or more hop
pers having the greatest feast of their
short lives.-Harlem News.

develop soon, killing the grasshoppers,
The flies have been observed near
Goldstone, in the mountains, and at
the Assinniboine station. Mr.. Camp
bell has not yet finished his work but
states that there is a possibility of
radiance from the grasshoppers in the
the parasite.
A small red mite which lives in the
ci%rculatory juice of the grasshopper
has also been studied. These are
found on the backs of the hoppers.
Large numbers of hoppers have been
killed by these mites already.
The blister beetle, another parasite,
has been found in large numbers in
the county this year, too. These beetles
are long and slender with shiny, black
or green heads and wings. The larvae
feed on the grasshopper egg masses.
All of the good that the beetle will do
towards the extinction of the grass
hopper has been done, as the breeding
season is over. The blister beetle does
almost as much damage to garden
crops and bushy trees as does the
grasshopper. However, they are easily
controlled by a~rsenate of lead or paris
green.

COUNTY CROP REPORTS

Helena, Aug. 4.-Heavy rains in
many eastern Montana counties will
insure we'll filled grain, and the crop
prospects in Montana continue favor
able on the whole, according to the
weekly crop report of the state de-
partment Of agriculture for the week
ending July 20, based upon reports of
county agents and others. There was
some damage by hail. Crops in the
triangle north of Great Falls are in
much better shape than they were two
weeks ago. A general scarcity of la
Dor is reported. Reports by counties:
Neutrality-suspicious. during the
week .35 inch. Weather hot and grain
ripening fast. There is sufficient
moisture and the grain is filling we'll.

rapid growth. Hay crops yielding a
heavy tonnage of good quality hay.
Shortage of from 200 to 300 harvest
hands.
Dawson.-Local showers and hail,
which damaged a strip three to five
miles wide. Shortage of labor in the
county.
Fallon.-Verv heavy local showers.
Excellent growing conditions. Rye be-
ing harvested and just beginning on
winter wheat; hav crop excellent. Most
of the corn is late but making rapid
growth. Shortage of labor in the
county. Will need 500 or 600 men in
