Washington's contributions to tile
ingenues and leading men of the Su-
ture are probably mostly to be found
among the children OF the Dancing
Festival"
Lavish costumes, numerous balletr
and dancing exhibitions that would
do credit to professionals caused one
to marvel on an increasing scale to
the close of the performance. AT
times IL was only with effort that one
realized this was not an exception

from Broadway.
Part one, or the Magic Mirror"
was nearest to mediocre, and part
two, containing the dance numbers,
balanced 1t by performance that is
very, very rare in juvenile produc-
tions.
Especially good were the Oriental
Ballet and the dances of the seasons.
More than once, during these, the
stage was held by tots OF six years
and under, whose grace and perform.

to use on land now dry farmed. This land will not be available for
five or ten years. The North Side Minidoka project will also be opened
II water 10 made available from the American Falls dana This is not
less than five years distant
what VAL be done with III the stored water?,---h will be used by
irrigation and Canal Companies already operating and which desire
more water than is now available. There are thirty four of these COM
panies in the Snake River Valley now.
When will the reservoir be constructed? .-Itm may be several
years but present indications are that the Reclamation Service will be
in a position to begin construction about the spring of 1928.
Is the reservoir a sure thng?----No Before it is a sure thing,
an irrigation district must be formed from among all the companies
trct a bond election must be voted. Then bonds must be adver-
tsed and sold in an amount to pay the instalments on the cost of the
dam and reservoir as they fall due.
How much is that?-. Between five and ten million dollars.
What has been done to date?---~The petitions for the calling of
a n election for the formation of a irrigation district have been circu-
lated and will be presented to Boards of County Commissioners June
fifteenth.
How much land is included in the petition? Approximately $780,
900 acres.
What is the nature of this irrigation dstrict?-~-It can be formed
for the exclusive purpose of voting bonds for the purchase of water
according to the opinion Of Attorney General Black, of the State of
Idaho. No invested rights will be nterfered with.
When will the town of American Falls be moved2-..That depends
upon when money is available for the building of the dam. At the
earliest it will not be moved before the Fall of 1923.
Where will it be moved to2-.--About half a mile east of it's pre-
sent location.
Who will pay for the moving?.-..The Reclamation Service. The
government will buy up the city property, move it to and establish it
on the new model townsite and then sell it to the public. In this way
it will recover the major portion that it expends for city property.
Has any moving or improvement of the new townsie taken place?
No.
Would you advise m to come to American Falls for work? Yes if
you want ranch work. There is no construction work at the present
time.
Who should 1 write to for a job on the project?.--.There are no
jobs, but If you must know who to write to, address your letter to

Utterly cast down by the futility of

he had been tempted to marry her

over the sky above, like tiOcks of birds

With a groan he threw off these
