EMERGENCY
ORDERS ISSUED
Industries Face Suspen-
sion Because of Lack
of Coal

The interstate commerce commits
sion has declared the existence of q
national emergency, holding that
the miners and shopmen's strikes
have rendered the railroads unable
to meet the public needs.
The commission issued two
orders, one dealing with the common
carriers of the entire country and
the other applying only to those east
of the Mississippi river, including
west bank crossings.
Under the first order all roads are
directed ito forward traffic to
destination by routes most available
to expedite its movement and pre-
vent congestion, without regard to
the routing thereof made by ship
pers or by carriers from which the
traffic is received, or to the owner
ship of the cars..., All rules, regula-
tions and practices relating to car
service conflicting with the order
were suspended and superseded.
Under the second order, all the
roads east Of the Mississippi were
further directed to give priority to
food, feed, livestock, perishable
products. coal, coke and fuel oil. In
order to meet the prospective coal
famine in the places where 1t is
likely to be felt first, the commits
sion divided consumption into Ave
classes. Cars will be supplied to the
mines in the manner in which they
can most suitably serve the needs of
these five classes in the order
named.
Coal cars must be unloaded in
twenty-four hours by consignees or
they won't get more cars.
Glass one covers special purposes
which the commission or its agents
may designate. Glass two applies to
fuel for railroads and vessels, public
utilities, ice plants, hospitals and
public institutions. The third class
includes coal destined to the north
west, consigned to Lake Erie ports
for transhipment by water to Lake
Superior ports. Class four relates
to coal for domestic uses and class
five to all other purposes.
The two strikes together have
caused such coal shortage that
many industries have had to close,
and many more have announced
that unless a speedy settlement was
reached they would have to Close
also. The big steel plants in the east
will shut down on wholesale basis
If present conditions continue to
August, according to the head Of a
large steel corporation.
The only solution for the problem
seems to be with the railroad labor
board and the government is work
ing thru it,
Governor D. WI. Davis of Boise, in
answer to the petitions sent in to
have guards removed declared that
members of the state constabulary
would not be withdrawn from strike
centers. He said that the guards
were there in the interest of the
strikers as we'll as citizens and work.
men and that II the constabulary
was removed the state troops would
be placed on guard.

New Slogan, "Salt
Lake to Yellow
stone in a Day.

The recent run from Salt Lake to
West Yellowstone, Mont, the west
entrance of the park, distance OF
3S3 miles, in 8 hours and 80 min
utes has done a great deal towards
attracting attention to that highway
and interest in the organization has
been revived. There is move on
fot to make the highway known the
country over with the slogan and
publicity, "Salt Lake to Yellowstone
in a, Day." which is possible condi-
ton now, and with the paving all
laid it will be possible to make the
trip in the days time with ease.
The matter is being taken up by
the towns on the highway from Salt
Lake to Yellowstone to secure state
and federal aid in making the high
way paved complete from Salt Lake
to the park. Arrangements are be-
ing made for highway convention
of the two states to be held in Idaho
Falls in October.

BIG POSSIBILITIES
IN SNAKE RIVER
Survey Shows Possible
Development of Mil
lion Horsepower

The United States Geological sur
vey has recently issued a report OF
survey of the power possibilities
of the Snake. river. It says that in
the states of Idaho, Washington and
Oregon one million horse power may
be developed at low water.
With the development of this
power the mighty Snake" would be
brought into wonderful prominence
in these three states, but particu-
larly in Idaho.
Thousands of acres of now arid
land may be irrigated and great in
dustrial plants economically oper-
ated, not to speak of the conven-
fences made possible on the farms
by the use of electricity. In addi-
tion to reclamation by irrigation and
the latent power the scenery on the
river is described as equal to that of
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.

BRONCS LOSE
TO UTAH OILERS
The Last Game i
Best of
Season

The Utah Oilers from Salt Lake
City went home Monday night
crowned with victory, having won
two games out of three from the
Blackfot Broncs.
The Sunday game was won by the
Blackfoot nine by a close margin and
the game was one of the most excit-
ing of the season. Philips pitched
the game and held the Oilers to a
score Of 5 to 6. Blackfoot scored five
runs in the seventh inning and was
tied by the Oilers in the eighth. The
Broncs won the game by one run in

the season, lasting twelve innings
and ending in score of 3 to 2 in
favor of the Oilers. The game was
won by an overthrow to first, allow
ing the visitors to score. In this
game Salt Lake got eight hits with
four errors and Blackfoot secured

HENRY'S LAKE
BEING ENLARGED
Dam Contract Let to
Tanner of Idaho
Falls

Construction WOrk Is DolH6
started and will be rapidly pushed
during the coming months on the
concrete dam being built near the
outlet of Henry's Lake for the pur-
pose of creating reservoir OF the
lake according to Dan G. Martin,
engineer in charge of the project.
The contract for the construction OF
the dam was let on the tenth of the
month to B. M. Tanner OF Idaho
Falls. The cost of erecting the dam
will be $4,000.
This project is being undertaken
by the North Fork Reservoir COM
pany in which number of canal
companies of the st. Anthony Sec
ton are interested. 1t is planned to
raise the level of the lake fifteen
feet by means of the dam, thus In
creasing the acreage Of the lake
under water to about twice its
present size. The lake will cover
an area when the water is raised to
the new level of approximately
1000 acres, according to Mr.. Martin
and thus provide r2uch greater
amount of water than can be pro-
cured from the lake at the present
time.
The water thus impounded by the
dam is to be used for irrigating pur-
poses in the St. Anthony and Egin
Bench section, and supplementng
the rights already had by the canal
companies interested in the project
The section it will serve is already
under irrigation with the canals
built and everything ready to handle
the water secured by the reservoir
1t is estimated that with this pro.
ject 100000 acres can be brough,
under cultivation.
: The dam will be approximately
400 feet long at the top, $50 feet
long on the bottom and will have ar
approximate heighth of thirty feet
1t is being erected about two miles
from the outlet on down the rivel
and about mile from where the
present Yellowstone highway crosses
the river. Besides the cost, it II
necessary to purchase the right-of
way which the additional water will
cover. This cost will approximate
$4,000. 1t is expected that thu
dam will be finished some time dur
ing the fall and the impounding o1
the water will begin next spring.

Nation Loses
Millions Yearly
Through Strikes

Statistics issued by the depart
ment Of labor show that strikes in
this country average more than
$500 per year. Altho 1t is not con-
tended by the department that its
figures are accurate, since they de-
pend upon newspaper and trade
paper reports for the most part, they
are under, rather than overstate-
ments.
Since the strikes vary so in dura-
tion, number of workmen affected
and economic loss thru whatever in
dustry is wholly or partially shut
down, 1t is impossible to truthfulIy
estimate the average cost of strike,
but If the most conservative possible
estimate be adopted and 1t is con-
sidered that the average strike az
fects 100 workmen and that the
average strike lasts ten days, the
total arrived at is 100000 work.
ing days lost per year. II the aver
age cost to each working man is IS
per day and the average loss to each
industry does not exceed three times
the loss to the workman, then
strikes cost this country some $780,
100000 year.

FALSE CHlNCH BUG
VERY INJURIOUS
E IF e ct Strawberries,
Raspberries and
Potatoes Most

BY Claude Wakeland, Experiment
Station Entomologist, University Of
Idaho.
Numerous reports are being re-
ceived from all parts of Idaho con-
cerning the great abundance Of false
chinch bugs and the injury they are
doing. Reports indicate that they
are most injurious to strawberries,
raspberries and potatoes althO they
are found on practically all green
cultivated plants and on weeds. They
are sucking insects and extract the
sap from plants by inserting their
beaks. Injured plants are checked
in growth or wilt or Gull. 1t Is sup
posed that the insects insert q poison
with their beaks which occasions the
severe injury they are capable OF
doing.
At times they cluster in large
numbers on raspberry or strawberry
fruits and berries so attacked re-
main small and mishapen. Affected
potato leaves curl and wilt and the
vitality of the entire plant is soon
effected.
The adult false chinch bug has a
gray body which is darker beneath
and the rear portion of which is COW
cred by the light gray wings. 1t is
about one-twentieth of an inch in
length and half as broad as long.
The young are wingless, more robust
and are characterized by the more
reddish color, especially on the
front part of the body.
These insects feed naturally on
such common weeds as pepper grass,
Russian thistle and sage brush,
especially in the young forms. They
occur generally thruout Idaho, but
become numerous only on certain
years. The most important preven-
tive steps are to destroy all weeds
and to parctice thoro, clean cultivat-
ing.
Both adults and nymphs Of the
false chinch bug can be killed by
spraying them with solution Of one
pound of soap in ten gallons OF
water to which is added nicotine sui
phate at the rate of one part to 1000
parts water or twelve and One-half
teaspoons full to ten gallons water.
The spray must come contact with
the insects to kill them and the need
of thoroness cannot be over-empha-
sized. Best results are obtained by
making spray applications in the
early morning while the insects are
less active or during cool damp days.
A very fine, mist spray with
abundant pressure is best and
should be directed sdewise as we'll as
downward in the rows. When in
jury is extremely severe and relief
is expected at once the use OF
nicotine sulphate spray alone.
| Where this combination is used, add
twelve and a half teaspoonfuls OF
nicotine sulphate to each ten gallon
of 4-5-50 Bordeau mixture. This
combination both Kills the insects ii
touches and serves to repel them so
they will not remain on the plants.
Upon request, the Bingham county
agricultural agent will furnish nee
essary instructions for preparing
Bordeau mixture. 1t is not expen-
sive and is easy to make. When
nicotine sulphate and Bordeau
mixture are used in combination the
soap must not be added.

CANCER DEATH RATE
in Conn. IS HIGH
Shows Big Increase Since 1917.
1,4O0 Deaths In Year
BY GEORGE H. MANNING.
washington Correspondent OF New
Britain Herald.

Britain Herald).
Washington. D. c.. Dec. 13.-The
death rate from cancer In Connect
cut has greatly increased since 1917
and Is now considerably above the
general average for the whole United
States.
About 1900 persons died from can
Ger in Connecticut last year. or $50
for every 100000 Of population. the
u. 8. Census Bureau. finds. NS
The increase was gradually upward
during 1917, 1913 and 1919: took a
big jump upward IN 1920, and drop
ped back somewhat In 1921.
The proportion of deaths from can
Ger in Connecticut in 1917 was 92.3
to every 100000 population; 90 in
1913; 94.4 In 1913: l0o.6 IN 1920. and
96.9 in 1921.
In each of these five years It WA
considerably above the general aver
age for the United States which has
gradually increased from $40 in 1917
to 500 last year.
Not the Highest.
Connecticut's death rate from can
Ger while high during this period Is
much lower than the surrounding
states of Massachusetts,, Vermont, New
York, Maine and New Hampshire
which had the highest percentage OF
any Of the states.
The Census Bureau states that thu
total number Of deaths in the regis
tration area of the United States last
year was 1924, and estimates from
this that the cancer deaths in the
entire country last year were oveI
| $4,000, an increase over 1920 Mher
it was $4,000.
/ The rate Of death from cancer Il
considerably higher in the northern
states than in the southern states, tht
study made by the Census Bureau
shows. AS illustrative of this thu
rate per 100000 of population in 1921
| in New Hampshire was 1873; II
Maine 1853; in Massachusetts, 11S; II
New York 1851; in Rhode Island
1904, and in Vermont, 113.b; COM
pared with South Carolina S4.4; NORTH
Carolina 42.9; Florida 51.3; Louisiana
$3.50; Mississippi Ais, and Tennessee
All.
No Racial Differences.
There seems to be practically nc
difference in the susceptibility of thu
white and colored population IN khe
same states, the death rate from can
Ger among the colored being about az
low as among the whites IN the
south, and as high as among the
whites in the north.
New Hampshire has the highes
death rate from cancer In 1921, witt
119.S to every 100000 of population
| Massachusetts was next with 1850
Maine follows with 1855, and Yer
mont is close up with 1875.
South Carolina, North Carolina ano
Florida has the lowest rates In 1921
and for the past four or five years
the death rate from cancer having
actually decreased in those states
each year since 1917, while 1t has
gone steadily upward in the other
states.
