were required by law.

were required by law.
Papers filed with the petition give
the estimated cost of the dam and
reservoir at $12, OO0, 900, Of which the
government will pay about half.
The petition was filed with c. G.
Siggins, auditor and recorder and
clerk of the Twin Falls board. Pres
ent with Mr.. Fenner at the filing
were Ivan G. Lincoln, president of the
Twin Falls Canal company, Col. L.
l.. Evans of American Falls and Frank
A. Banks, engineer of the United
States reclamation service, American
Falls. The filing formality required
about half an hour.
COPIES of the gigantic petition and
of the maps will be filed with Warren
G. Swendsen, head of the state recla-
nation department, Boise.
THE petition as TO the Twin Falls
south side tract represents 61,535
acres.
1--WE feel very much encouraged
said Manager F1enner, who filed the
petition at Twin Falls. The American
Falls project means so much to the
Snake river valley and to all south
Idaho it would be a serious setback
for that territory if it should fail. In
order to put it across there must be
participation with the government.
with the American Falls project
completed and the wonderful storage
provided, a great portion Of south Ida
no will be placed IN an equality with
sections already having ample water
insurance, such as lands under the
Arrowrock reservoir.
THE process has been slow, at
times discouragingly so, but progress
has been made right along and every
step avoided, even at the cost of time
that might jeopardize the undertaking..
File $4,000 Bond.
Along with the petition there was
placed on file a $4,000 bond as in
demnity, in case of the failure Of the
district at the election. The bond was
signed by Colonel Evans, R, E. Shep-
ard of Jerome, and will be signed
Monday by the directors of the Twin
Falls Canal company"

the farmer why you come here and lay
poison for the grasshoppers, squir-
rels and jack rabbits, too.
We are ten years in Idaho and had
$4,000 in dept in the bank and had
only once the wheat insured.
We are nearly broke and we need
more than thousand dollars for the
Trust Loan Co. Not that we can in
sure the wheat and it wont hail out
enhow and then pay you double for
nothing, if it wont give a crop why
we are going to quit farming and sell
everything and pay you then and if
you don't like that you may save the
two hundred dollars, what we have
to get from the loan, then we will
pay the hundred dollars that we
got already, after harvest then we
will be done with that stuff if that
don't suit you yet why you may come
and cut the wheat when 1t Is rip also
thrash the wheat too.
You should not insure the wheat
you wont get, the money eny how
for it, we will only pay the three
hundred dollars what we loaned
from you that is all, we have nothing
to do with the insurance at all and
we don't want our wheat insured, we
only loaned money from you that is
all. not so you can insure our wheat
that's not what We wanted at all,
You may have the paper you sent,
we don't want them, those l sent
back.

WHEN THE FIRE
WHISTLE BLOWS

All water users are warned, in a
recent police order to turn off all
hydrants and faucets when the fire
whistle is sounded. The city water
systems are taxed to the limit during
the hot days to provide water for
gardens, trees and lawns. The result
is that the water available for fire
purposes is very limited. By turning
off the hydrants all water is made
available for fire fighting. Action in
the Wennstrom fire of last week
was greatly delayed on account of so
many hydrants running water.

WATER SUPPLY THREATENED

The water supply of Riverside addi-
ton is improved this week following
several days of strenuous work re-
quired to repair a leak that was adj
hitting stagnant water into the main
reservoir near the pump house. r. B.
Greenwood of the Philbrook-Green-
wood corporation states that the
water should be considerably better
from now on.
The same trouble occurred last year
when the springs that bubble up un-
der the cement reservoir, ate their
way into the outside water permitting
it to enter the reservoir. Sacks Of
sand and rock were used to mend the
leak.

WAGES OF DOMESTICS
I DUE FOR GENERAL CUT
Averages Sho,O Home SERVANTS Receiue More Than
Factory Employees, but Greater Freedom Is
IA attraction for Many Girls

It would appear that even Mt their
highest point, wages in industry as a
whole Jagged far behind those which
were paid and in many cases arc still
paid FOR domestic service.
This condition has not affected the
preference OF the servant girl for work
in these lines. In spite of the higher
ray which she may receive in domestic
service. the increased freedom, with
Saturday afternoons and Sundays off.
the superior social status, all combine
to make these trades more attractive.
IL is not unknown for these girls to
exist as long as they can on the re-
duccd wages which they receive when
they leave domestic service for indus
try, find that they can no longer hold
out, go back to- domestic service and
save enough to tide them over another
Icriod ia the factories.
These circumstances and the belief
that nll wages must seek more or
less uniform level sooner or later have
led observers to predict a material re-
duction in the wages Of domestic scrv-

IT'S A NICE LAKE ALL RIGHT,

Now Prospect Park Council Hires
Enalneers to Fix IL Up

The citizens Of Prospect Park turued

When they were through 1t was
beautiful lake, an exquisite laLe. a lake
such rs any swan would be proud to
call home. The only trouble with It
was That the water simply would not
stay IN It.
The root Of the difficulty was found
to be tho dem. Although this feature
of the enterprise had been constructed
along lines Of delicate beauty and arch.
itectural symmetry, it lacked certain
water tight properties.
10 relieve this embarrassing situation
and with nm eye TO getting some water
into the lake Borough Council has
passed an ordinance authorizing the
purchase ami rciuvenation of the whole
lake and its surrounding terrain.
1t will be put In condition by firm
