KIWANIs DOES GOOD ROAD WORE

The Platteville Kiwanis club with
the assistance of many farmers laid
tailings on the Potosi road from the
west Main street bridge to the city
limis Thursday. George Barden sup
ervised the work of about 100 men
with 20 teams and number of trucks,
and 400 loads of tailings, donated by
W. G. Hill, were placed in nine hours.
Dinner was served by club women at
the Normal school. The work done
by the club and its friends would have
cost the city nearly $1,000
1t seems to the Herald that COM

teal and useful purpose when it does
work of this kind and fully justifies

Dan Has A Nice Nay OF Com

Dan Altmyer spent a part of the

to the Idaho Agricultural Loan Com

most efficient organization he has
ever dealt with. Dams feelings are
expressed in his own words in the
following letter.
Why the hell don't you fellows do
something about my loan or answer
my letters? l have written you four
or five times, and my wife says /
might as well mailed them direct to
the Dead Letter Office for all the
good they do me. My neighbor Ros-
enkranz who has got an application
for loan with you, told me while
we was fighting grasshoppers the
other day, that President Young of
your concern is being prominently
mentioned for governor, and l will
say that you fellows had better get
busy or you can bet your life you
wont get vote out of this precinct
next election, and you and Adams
will be back working for someone
who can tell you where to. head in
at, instead of setting around them
tables, shooting golf, or making
speeches at all them commercial
clubs while the country is going to

as you.

IDAHO OUN|TES WITH
NORTHWEST Ass N.
All Wheat Sales In South Idaho To Be
Directed BY Walter j. Robinson
VIII Operate Through Ogden.

In the future all sales of wheat
pooled by members of the South Ida
no Wheat Growers Association will
be directed by the Northwest Wheat
Growers Associated instead of the
local office according to Walter j.
Robinson, president of the board of
trustees of the latter office, who was
in American Falls this week in con-
ference with the board of the South
Idaho organization. This is to be
done at the request of the local board
of directors.
The Northwest Wheat Growers AS
sociated is the central selling agency
for the state, associations in Wash
ington, Oregon, Northern Idaho, Mon
tana and North Dakota, 1t main
tains offices in London, MINNEAPOLIS
Spokane, Portland, Seattle and Lewis
| ton, Montana. During the last year
the associated offices have sold all
of the wheat pooled by the state asso-
Citations except that in South Idaho
Because of the different course OF
market taken by the grain grown
in this section the central organiza-
tion was not able to oversee its sales.
We are strongly considering the
establishment of sales office in Og-
den to care for South Idaho wheat, 1"
| said Mr.. Robinson, but whether or
not we put the new office under way
the Northwest Wheat Growers AS
sociated will direct the sales. Our
Minneapolis office will be at the dis
posal of the South Idaho association
as we'll as the Portland and Sea-
tile establishments which can keen
track of the sales made into Cali
foTnia, where a considerable part OF
| your wheat moves
Last year the Northwest Associ-
ated was able TO assist the South
Idaho office in providing funds for
advances to members, and In its au-
diting work, and this season the
growers in this part of the state will
! get the same sales service that is en-
! joyed by all of the other organiza-
f, tions."
Mr.. Robinson who is also manager
of the Washington and North Idaho
state associations with headquarters
| In Spokane was accompanied by II
j. Herman of Genessee, president OF
/ the Idaho organization. Together
| they made a trip through the country
where organizers for the South Idaho
branch are now in the field, address
/ ing meetings of growers at different
| points.
The addition of the state of North
Dakota to the Northwest Wheat
Growers Association will mean from
eight to II million bushels of pooled
wheat more than was handled last
year, according to Mr., Robinson, and
gains are also being made in Ore
gon, Washington and Montana
through membership campaigns now
under way 1t is estimated that the
total pool for the five states will be
between 80 and 40 million bushels
for the next selling season.

contract was entered into Mon
day between the state of Idaho and
the commissioners of highway dis
tricts one and two, by which the state
is to take over and maintain as a state
highway the 35 miles of surfaced road
that leads through the Rockland val
ley to the Oneida county line.
This agreement will end long nego-
tiations and disputes with the state
highway department over maintenance
and construction charges on roads in
Power county and will be a relief to
the highway districts which built the
roads with the original understanding
that they were to be accepted by the
state
Before the contract is really validat-
ed it will be necessary for the road in
question to be brought up to specifi-
cations in every way. This will re-
quire the expenditure of approximate
ly $4,000, so per cent of which will be
borne by the state of Idaho,

roads up to specifications. 1t ia the

MANAGER WHEAT
GROWERS RESIGNS
j. I. Fisher Asks TO Be Relieved Fol-
lowing Two Years of Successful
Organization Work In South Idaho

The resignation of ]. T. Fisher as
manager of the Idaho Wheatgrowers
Association is announced this week
by Mr.. Fisher. He officially rendered
his resignation in April but has not
been able to leave his duties as man
ager on account of the pressing busi-
ness of the Association.
In rendering his resignation to the
board Mr.. Fisher stated that his
ranch and bank at Rockland demand
ed more of his time and that he felt
that the Association now was in a
position to dispense with his SER
vices. He will still be a member of
the board of directors.
1t is probable that his place as
manager will not be filled as the AS
sociation is now directly connected
with the Northwest Association.
which will handle the marketing of
the wheat from a new office that is
Ito be established at Ogden to take
care of wheat that goes east from
Oregon, and Montana and the Da-
kotas.
Mr.. Fisher has been with the Idaho
Association since its organization and
in two years of untiring work has
brought to it unusual success as
cooperative marketing organiza-
tion. In his official capacity as man.
ager he has brought American Falls
and the county into unusual prom
inence as the center of cooperative
marketing in Che state. His close
study of legislation affecting the
farmer and intimate knowledge of fl
nance as it relates to marketing have
made him an authority on these sub
jects in the Intermountain Company
Mr.. Fishers resignation means that
he will not have lessened interest in
the success of the organization, but
that he will have more time for his
personal business.

RECLAMATION SERVICE APPOR-
TIONS ONLY ENOUGH MONEY TO
SAFEGUARD WORK ALREADY
ACCOMPLISHED NOTHIN
FOR DEVELOPMENT
AWAIT ACTION DISTRICT
Government Will Be Ready to Do Its
Part ii Irrigation District Votes and
Sells Bond Issue-Market Believed
Good.

The apportionment of funds in the
Reclamation Service allots $4,000 to
the American Falls project, according
to the announcement of Reclamation
officials yesterday. This amount will
provide for the bare necessities of
maintenance and protect the great
amount OF, preliminary work that has
been completed. No new work what
ever can be undertaken with this
small apportionment.
This first allotment covers a period
of six months after which it is anti
cipated that the big irrigation district
will have been formed, and the parti-
cipating companies will have financed
their part of the American Falls pro-
ject. In case the bond issue OF forma-
tion of the proposed district should
fail to receive the necessary vote OF
the water users further appropriations
would not be made.
OTHER PROJECTS FAVORED
Money that has been appropriated
for development at American Falls in
past years, has this year gone to other
projects, like the Boulder Canyon pro-
ject of the Colorado River and the Co
lumbia Basin project of eastern and
central Washington. The preliminary
work having been completed it now
remains for the water users of the
valley to validate their contracts. No
indication has been made that the
government will not be in position
to fully do its part in case the Irriga-
tion District, as proposed, should sue
cessfully market its bonds. The feel
ing exists among reclamation officials
and others close to development that
the government has done its last bit
until the irrigation districts validate
their contracts with~a substantial pay
men of money.
DEMAND FOR BONDS n
Present indications are that there
will be lively demand for the bonds,
should they be presented for sale.
| Several companies have manifested
keen interest, according to reclama-
tion men and it is believed that the
marketing process will be largely a
matter of determining the best bidder.
While there is some disappointment
at the shelving of the Smith-McNary
bill in congress, the feeling exists
among reclamation officials that the
i passage of the bill would merely have
facilitated the marketing of the bonds
of this district, and that at present is
not regarded as a difficult problem.
The passage of the bill of course would
be highly desirable from the stand
point of reclamation in general.
The force employed with the service
at American Falls will be reduced to
the minimum. The abstract plant will
be maintained and the office will keep
enough men and women to care for
the immense amount of detail involved
in handling project of these proper
tions,
