Small Town VS.. Big City.

For years it has been a favorite
amusement of the large city dailies
to refer to the local news contained
in the country. press as small town
stuff" 1t pleases the city dweller
to read it at his breakfast table, 1t
emphasizes the superiority of "met-
ropolitan wisdom And we Of the
country ress are content to let 1T
60 at that with a passing word or
two of comment,
The small town stuff which fur
nishes so much amusement to our
city friends may be homely In Its
phraseology, 1t may be unimportant
as compared to the vital affairs OF
the world, but 1t possesses the merit
of being the truth.
The average country publisher
does not resort to Misrepresentation
and sensationalism in the columns
of his paper. His news articles and
items are composed Of facts as he
finds them, and they are not
doctored or colored for the purpose
of pleasing any class of faction, or
for the building up off a huge sub
scription list.
When he takes a stand editorially
on any public question, be it local,
state, or national, he has in view
the welfare of the people as whole,
and not the interests of some poll
teal faction or machine. His col
umns may not contain any over
plus of news, but such as there is
may be read with perfect safety by
the growing children of the COM
nunity without parental fear of
instilling questionable thoughts and
desires in their building minds.

The Disgrace of Walking.

1t appears that the perfect exist
ence is one in which nobody is re-
quired to walk. Many persons like
to look into the future and prepare
our minds for the wonders that we
shall see If we live long enough. We
have never observed prophecy OF
that kind that did not describe the
happy circumstance of movable side
walks to relieve t. e human legs OF
virtually all exertion. The seer Of
the moment Is the fire chief OF New
York city. He forsees city in
which streets will be free from
vehicular traffic, such streets as
there are being devoted exclusively
to the use of pedestrians" who
will be passengers on moving side
walks extending from curb to curb.
1t is a perfect picture of the lazy
mans heaven. He will arrive in
his airplane, land on top of his Of
fee building and descend in an ele-
yator. Whether there will be a
means of saving him the exertion OF
toddling from the elevator to his Of
fee door is not yet clear. But II
he has an errand elsewhere 1t will
only be a matter of riding to the
ground and alighting on the swiftly
moving sidewalk.
1t is already almost disgrace to
be seen walking One should al
ways get into his automobile If he
Is going more than four blocks. An
old-fashioned stroll is a series of en-
barrassing reflections Of invitations
to ride from hnd-hearted and pity
ing motorists. Every self-respect-
ing citizen waits for the elevator
rather than walk down one fight oil
steps.
It>is encouraging to learn that the
best inventive minds are going to
solve the few remaining elements.
of the problem of how to get around
without the use of legs. What our
grandchildren are going to do with
their legs we are not sure. Certain
ly they will be an encumbrance, and
II will take more than two genera
tions of evolution for nature to dis
pense with them. Perhaps they will
all cover them up and pretend they
have none, as women used to do.

Larger Crops Than Last Year For
cast,

Large crops due principally to
splendid growing conditions thus far
this season, promise more abundant
production this year than harvested
in 1921, despite small acreage, Cd"
peeially in wheat and oats.
Apples, peaches and pears are
more abundant this year, last years
crop having been curtailed by frosts.
The apple crop is almost double
what it was last year, but not 90
large as the 1920 crop.

" A 7 { CRISIS
F ACES FARMERS
Of DEER Fl A 7
Storage Figures Indicate
Inadequate Supply for
Late Summer Use I'm
der Reservoir.

Will Boise project farmers, those
who rely on Deer Flat storage, be
without sufficient water the latter part
of this season?
That is the question which is begin
ming to worry farmers under the big
reservoir as result of storage figures
OF this week. Saturday Deer Flat
held ll7,252 acre feet of water. Last
year on the same date the reservoir
held 1920 acre feet.
According to reliable information,
the present storage water in Deer Flat
will be exhausted about August 10 un-
less extraordinary favorable condi-
tions set in to dimish the normal
consumption of this storage water.
While this water supply will be suffi
Gent for most crops, it will work a
hardship on late head lettuce produc-
ers, fruit men and others whose crops
mature late in the season if present
predictions are borne out.
This difference in the stored water
supply in Deer Flat reservoir, accord
ing to officials of the Payette- Boise
Water Users association, is not due to
shortage of water in the mountains
but to the deposit of silt and sand in
the intake of the New York canal.
About IS inches of this wash mater
ial has been deposited in the canal, ac-
cording to information received here.
This deposit has cut the capacity of
the canal from a normal 2800 second
feet to ZOO second feet.
In 1917, while d. w. Cole was pro
ject manager, similar situation arose.
which occasioned no little loss to pro-
ject farmers. Shortage of funds for
operation is understood to have caus-
ed the failure to properly clean the
canal mouth, it being understood that
this has been the cause of the decreas-
ed supply of storage water in Deer
Flat.
Last week, as result of the neavy
rain Tuesday and decreased demand
for water, the supply in Deer Flat was
increased about 5000 acre feet. Right
now, with haying operations in full
blast, it is expected that no great
inroads will be made on the wat r
available But an acute shortage is pre-
dicted for later in the season.

Garage.

Perry La Vaghn and Owen Love-
Joy of Nampa and Robert Benton of
Boise are under arrest at the county
jail charged with having stolen an au-
tomobile from the King meat market
OF Nampa Sunday evering. They
were arrested at Parma after breaking
into garage, stealing gasoline and
oil and various tools.
According to county officers, the
men broke into the Mccoy garage at
Parma. The noise awakened the own

to interrupt them as they returned for
wrenches and other small looks after
stealing gas and OIL o. ]. Boyd,
chief of police. was notified and he
stationed himself in the vicinity of the
truck which the young men had de-
serted near the scene of the robbery.
All three men returned shortly to get
the machine and were promptly plac-
ed under arrest Sam Webb, deputy
sheriff, was called and he took the
men and property into custody.

paid charges for construction, main
tenance, or drainage must be definitely
determined, together with the terms
and periods thru which such charges
are repayable to the government. 1t
must also be ascertained if the INSTALL
ment payments have been promptly
met or whether deferred by congress

the reasons therefor. 1t must be de-
termined, also, what the actual cost is
for operation and maintenance, in addi-
ton to the annual amounts that have
to be paid on the construction charges.
Due consideration, of course, will be
given to the fact that monies due the

is repayable over a period of years
without interest.

William Olson Seriously
Injured When Car
Hits Truck.

lowering between life and death,
William Olson, an old resident of
Caldwell and the Dixie country, is at
the Caldwell Sanatarium with little
chance for his life as the result of an
accident Monday about noon when a
truck which he was driving was struck
by an inbound Caldwell Traction COM

well on the Tenth street crossing over
the Caldwell Traction company tracks.
The noon Traction company passen-
ger car was inbound as was Mr.. o.
son.
According to Harry Meek, motor
man on the Traction company car,
Mr.. Olson evidently did not see the
approaching car until he was close
upon the tracks. He might have
stopped his truck but determined to
beat the electric car across the tracks.
The collision caught the truck square
ly in the middle and hurled it so feet
down the track before the Traction
company car could be stopped. The
truck was completely destroyed.
Mr.. Olson suffered a severe fracture
at the base of his skull and other va
rious injuries. DR.. F. M. Cole was
called. At noon DR.. Cole said that
Mr.. Olson had only remote chance
for his life. Olson is an elderly man
For some time he has been employed
as truck driver for thee Hardwood
Creamery company. Prior to CON-
ing to Caldwell he was farmer in tn
Dixie country.
Late Monday afternoon Mr..
Olson was reported to be resting
quite easily by attendants at the
Sanatarium.

FARM LOAN ACT
NOWAPP[|CAbLE
TO BOISE LANDS
Letter Authorizing loans
On Project Property
Received Monday; No
Blanks.

Details of the recent congressional
action authorizing federal farm loans
on federal project lands were received
here Monday by E. L. Shaw, local
agent Of the Spokane branch of the
Federal Land bank. Under what is
locally Familiarity known as the Borah
amendment, federal farm loans can
now be made on project lands, the
lien on these lands having taken in the
past prior claim and forbiddirg fur.
Their financial investments in this class
of farm property.
Mr.. Shaw thus far has not received
applications and has no knowledge at
present as to when they will be avail
able that formal applications for this
class of loans may be made. An
nouncement of their receipt will be
made thru The Tribune, however.
The letter authorizing such loans
and pointing out the features to be
given consideration follows:
Under the provisions of H. B. 1882,
an act of congress recently adopted
and approved. the Federal Land bank
is authorized to consider applications
for loans on lands under government
reclamation projects. even where a
lien exists, or has been created, for
unpaid water charges, and the term
FIRST mortgage" as used in the Farm
Loan Act, may be construed to in
clude mortgages on such lands. 1t is
provided, however, that the amount
and date of maturity of any such lien
for unpaid water or drainage charges
shall be given due consideration in
fixing the value of such lands for loan
purposes.
The Federal Land bank, therefore, is
authorized to consider applications for
loans as aforesaid when, in the discre-
ton of the officers of the bank, sup
ported by favorable reports of its en-
gineers and appraisers, the water sup
ply may be deemed adequate, condi-
tons favorable, maintenance and other
charges reasonable, applicants other
wise qualified and security acceptable.
In such case the amount of the un-
