Disabled Veterans
are Warned Against
Private Agencies

POCATELLO, Idaho.-Disabled
war veterans of this city should be.
ware of private agencies claiming to
be able to secure immediate favor
able action on pending compensation
claims against the government, &C.
cording to DR.. G. H. Sprague, man.
ager of the u. s. Veterans Bureau in
Pocatello. No such agency has any
influence or pull" with the vet.
erans' bureau and retainer fees
ranging from $40 to $50 paid such
agencies by war veterans are lost to
the former service men, he stated.
'The thing to do to secure favor
able action on war compensation
claim is to build 1t up to come within
the law, If this is possible" said DR..
Sprague. "The personnel of the vet
erans' bureau and officials of ex-
service mems organizations and the
Red Cross are in far better position
to assist in building up claims and
thereby securing favorable action
than any private. agency because
they are more familiar with the
kind of affidavits needed. The
claimant should think twice before
paying out those retainer fees"
There are scores of pending
claims for compensation and voca-
tional training filed by veterans Of
tbs city. In most instances these
claimants have been unable to con-
meet their disabilities with the SER
vice. In the east, agencies seeking
retainer fees from veterans on the
pretense Of being in a position to
secure immediate action on claims
are numerous, it is reported An
effort will be made to limit activities
of such organizations or individuals
in the northwest by advising the vet
erans of the futility of retaining
their services.

Former Blackfoot
Man Inventor of Steer
ing Gear for Ships

Peter A. Johnson, who grew up at
Blackfoot and was in the ship build
ing work during the war, has in
vented steering gear for ships. More
than a year ago we published some
Information about it, and stated that
it had been approved by United
States engineers, who recommended
it for use on government ships, and
one was put on a Columbia river
steamer, where it has been operating
very satisfactorily ever since.
Mr.. Johnson and his associates
have organized a company for its
manufacture and sale, and it repre-
sented in the Oregon press as a very
valuable invention likely to be
adopted by the worlds shipping.

Idaho's Congressional
Delegation Accom-
plished Much for
This Locality

During the past year a new enter
prise known as the Greater Fort
Hall Project, has been placed upon
the calendar at the national capital,
and is no wan acknowledged entity
entitled to federal money and with
the opening Of spring construction
work can begin upon 1t.
Launching of this new enterprise
means the expenditure Of 100000
this year in construction work in the
vicinity of Fort Hall, and the success
of the task Of launching it is due to
q few individuals and commercial
clubs in Bingham, Bannock and
Power counties chiefly, and to the
good work of our delegation in con-
gress, including former Senator Du-
bois, who concentrated his attention
upon 1t nearly all last summer and
fall when things that were vital to 1t
had to be done or 1t would fail.
History Of the Project
The work of constructing irriga-
tion works for the Fort Hall country
began about thirty years ago with
the building Of the Idaho canal to
convey water from Snake river
across the Blackfoot river and from
this stream across the reservation
south and west towards Fort Hall,
Pocatello and Fort Hall bottoms.
About the year 1905 the Black
foot reservoir was constructed on
the headwaters of the river Black
foot to impound water for use in
the system just described, the water
being allowed to flow down the
Blackfoot river as it was needed dur
ing the irrigation season, and
thereby enabling the government to
get water more easily than thru the
Idaho canal. The project was
fathered by Hon. Fred T. Dubois,
who at that time was the United
States senator from Idaho, and when
the time came for its enlargement
it was Mr.. Dubois who kept supply
ing information to official Washing
ton as to the condition of the pro-
ject and the needs of the agricul-
tural lands depending upon the sys-
tenn for water.
For several years Mr.. Dubois has
been telling Washington that the
needs of the irrigators had outgrown
the capacity of the system intended
to carry the water to the lands, and
that the part of the Blackfoot river
channel extending for several miles
above the diversion dam opposite
the town of Blackfoot was filling up
with silt and growth of willows so
that while there was need for more
water each year the system capacity
was steadily growing smaller. The
shortage of water in the fields had
become so marked that loss of crops
was forcing farmers to give up their
undertakings, and that suits against
the government for failure to supply
water were inevitable unless the

District Attorney
Gives Warning to
All Bootleggers

l desire, thru the medium Of your
paper to convey the following infor-
nation to all persons who may here
after convey intoxicating liquor into
thru or upon the Fort Hall Indian
reservation near this city.
The federal statute applicable to
this matter provides that all auto
mobiles or other means of convey
ance used in the transportation OF
intoxicating liquor into, thru or up
on an Indian reservation may be
seized and absolutely forfeited to the
United States. Prior to the present
term of court two automobiles were
seized for violation of this statute,
but due to a misunderstanding as to
the law applicable thereto, and be-
cause of the fact that the grand jury
filed to indict the parties in charge
of the same, they were released. Not
withstanding this fact, the automo-
biles were, in my opinion, subject
to forfeiture.
In vew of this situation, / deem it
only fair to advise all parties who
may be interested in the matter that
hereafter all automobiles or other
means of transportation caught in
the act of transporting intoxicating
liquor into, thru or upon this Indian
reservation, will be seized and
libeled, with view to forfeiture, re-
gardless of any excuse or defense
which may be interposed.
Very respectfully,
E. G.. DAVIS,
District Attorney.

Railways Wage Fight
Delegates representing 100000
railway workers gather In Cincin-
natl to fight reductions in their
wages. Their leaders say a strike
vote probably will be taken.
What are the railway workers
complaining about?
Just this: That the Interstate
Commerce Commission, a depart
ment of the federal government
which has authority to tell the rail-
ways how much they may charge
for carrying freight and passengers.
. recently ordered the railways to re-
9duce freight rates.
: The railways, OF course, have 70
obey. But they say they ran make
the reductions only IL they are al
lowed also to reduce the pay of the
men who work for them.
So the railways have asked the
United States Railroad Labor Board,
another government department
that has charge OF fixing the wages
of railway employees, to allow reduc-
lions in pay. Already some cuts
nave been made.
The railway workers object TO
this. They say if their wages are
cut they cannot support their FAM
lilies and live in comfort. And they
promise a finish fight against all
further wage cuts.
European Royal Marriage
Princess Marie of Rumania has
Just become a queen through her
marriage at Belgrade to King Alex
ander of Serbia.
Royal marriages always have be-
hind them a political meaning-that
is, they always are arranged with a
view to f%urtherirg the ambitions or
strengthening the position of the
nations whose royalty marries.
The marriage OF King Alexander
and Princess Marie is a step in the
formation of an alliance among the
Balkan States.
Some say there's a deeper mean
Ing behind this marriage. These say
King Alexander wishes some day to
become car of Russia. Alexander
could march an army into Russia
most easily by crossing Rumania
and hence, some say, he Is eager tn
gain Rumania's friendship and sup
port.
