MAKE PROGRESS
On CANYON DAM
Black Canyon Work is
Moving Forward at
Great Rate

Emmett-"We expect to be pour.
ing cement in the bed OF the river
early in October" is the statemen,
made by Walter Ward. engineer in
charge of construction OF the Black
Canyon dam. to an Index representa-
tive Tuesday morning. This is a
little ahead OF schedule. but | am
confident we shall make it," he stated
further.
One of the powerful draglines is
excavating the fault" in the bed OF
the river. and another will be put on
the job as soon as room is made for
it. This fault is one of the reasons
for the increased cost of the works.
One has to see it to gain an idea of
the immense amount OF gravel and
rocks necessary to be moved in order
to reach bedrock and the enormous
quantity of cement that will be needed
to fill the cavity. The excavation is
now down 7S feet below the bed OF the
river and there still remains SO more
feet to bedrock The job may be
even greater than that as it is possible
that the gravel bed extends under the
huge rocks that are exposed on the
south side. This will not be dehin-
itely determined until lower depth is
reached in the excavation. The gravel
that is being removed is being washed
and used in mixing cement
The site of the power house on the
north side. just below the cement
mixing plant, has been cleared and
the forms are being made for the
cement walls OF the building The
machinery has all been contracted for
and is beginning to arrive.
The massive wings of the dam on
both sides of the river are about a
fourth completed. The section on
each end is yet to be built and the
upper part of the sections on each
side of the dam proper are to be
finished. Just now the big pipe
through which water is to be pumped
into the canal is b eing formed in the
section of the north wing on the SOU
thern extremity. The top of the wings
are 10 feet wide. with coping foot
wide on each side, making IL feet in
all.
The dam is busy place. Three
shifts are being worked, and the work
never stops, night or day. One is
impressed by the lack of confusion.
Everybody seems to know what he
has to do and how to do il, and it is

COLLEGE CLUB
LO0KSbETTER
Team Shows Promise;
Coach Cornell Now
Believes

Bunlding a football team from
nothing with an aggregation of mater
ial who never saw each other before
they reported for practice this fall
means nothing in the life OF Anse
Cornell, College OF Idaho athletic men,
tor. Monday he brushed away the
cobwebs of uncertainty that have been
Thovering around all year and declared
that he was "going to have a pretty
nifty outfit" He even went farther
than that to remark that from pres
ent indications, the college eleven. far
from being trampled in the dust, could
reasonably be expected to give the
University OF Idaho team good game
at Moscow October 6.
Games and more of them is the
chief source off college worry right
now. When Gooding college at the
last minute decided against athletic
participation this year, it left the local
club with five game schedule. More
than that Pacific wires asking that the
game scheduled for Forest Grove be
transferred to Caldwell at a price the
college cannot meet. However. nego-
tiations are under way and it is belicv-
ed that this game may be brought here
to replace the one lost to local fans
when Cooding dropped ~it OF the foot
ball conference contest this fall
Other games are hard to find.
Teams IN a class with Cornclls out
fit are prohibited by distance from
coming here or taking the College OF
Idaho eleven to their own stamping
ground.

WILL
HELP ROUNDUP
Local Citizens off Thurs
day for Big Fall
Show

More than 100 Caldwell citizens will
"move in" on Weiser and the Weiser
Roundup Thursday, according to the
local Eiks Committee in charge of ar
rangements. In addition, many are
going from Nampa, Parma and other
towns of this section. Altogether
Thursday promises to be a real Can
yon county day at the Roundup, but
Boise, also with a strong delegation
is said to threaten local honors at the
Washington County fall show and
rodeo.
More than so grandstand ticket:
have already been sold by the loca
Elks committee in charge of arrange.
ments. 1t is believed that more thar
twice that number of Caldwell citizens
will finally be on deck when the local
delegation leaves. While Elks are in
charge of Caldwell arrangements, the
party is open for everybody who wants
to see the Roundup in action.
Wciser, hesitating at first about the
advisability of putting on a show a
fall. today is certain OF the best pro
gram OF all its experience in staging
these combined fairs and wild wes
exhibitions. Enthusiasm is at higi
pitch and the cooperation of othe
ncighboring towns insures new rec
ord attendance.

SAM To
HELP To MAKE
WORKS SUCCESS
Reclamation Burea a U
Pledged to Aid in Solv-
ing Problems; Policy
Outlined.

Federal cooperation in helping to
make existing reclamation projects a
success is pledged in the tentative out
line of the policy OF the reclamation
bureau as published in the latest issue
of the Reclamation Record. This out
line, as given by Hubert Work, secre-
tary of the Interior, follows;
Existing Projects
Reduce overhead costs.
Deal with projects and water us
crs as an engineering and business
problem.
Encourage subdivision Of large
holdings into small farms, when bet
ter farming will follow.
Encourage and assist farmers to
diversity and rotate their crops.
aid in securing crcameries. sugar
factories, and other industries within
or near the project limits to the end
that a ready and profitable market for
the products ofsthe farms may at all
times exist and be available.
Cooperate with the farmers in the
packing. handling. shipping, and mar
eting OF their products to the end al
ways that the maximum OF return with
the minimum OF expense may come to
the farmers.
Impress on water users the idea
that the Government money advanced
for the construction of these projects
was temporarily for ther benefit in
the nature of loan without interest.
New Projects
The West demands and should
have additional reclamation projects
where and when feasible.
Recommend against any new pro-
jcct where the cost is so high that
there is no reasonable probability OF
farmers being able to repay construc-
ton costs. Such action will advance
and not rctard mcritorious reclamation
projects.
Recommend against any new pro-
ject where the probable cost of opera
tion and maintenance. through pump
ing or otherwise, will be too heavy a
burden for the water users to carry
annually.
make not only engineering studies
of proposed projects, but studies OF
soil. climate. and markets, including
kinds OF fruits. grains, or other crops
which the soil and climate will permit
to be grown pvohtably.
"In brief. establish real, actual, and
helpful working cooperation with the
farmer to aid him in every phase and
shpect of production and marketing
9f crops.
MAKE careful study of probable an
nual cost OF operating and maintaining
= project when built. including cost OF
drainage systems.

mo successful big business institu-
ton is conducted without a careful
budget" stated Governor c. c. Moore
recently. "The state of Idaho with
valuations of nearly half billion dol
lars with expenditures for government,
education, roads and other necessities
amounting to approximately four mil
lion dollers per biennium must in my
opinion budget its funds receivable
and not take on great burdens to the
taxpayers which the valuation of the
state cannot support.
History tells us that the great revo-
lutions of the world have been caused
primarily by excessive burdens of tax
alton to support top-heavy govern
ments in luxury. Excessive taxation
soon becomes conhscation and the
expense of government should be held
down in proportion to the citizens
ability to pay. The budget bureau
will aid US immensely in this respect
in conducting the largest business in
the state"

CARE[ESSNESS
IS BIC CAUSE
Of LOST LIVES
President Gray Urges
Caution for Motorists
When Using Railroad
Crossings

| Omaha.-"He who hesi,atcs at
grade crossings is safe. says Presi-
dent Carl X. Gray of the Union Pa
cific System. in his monthly talk. To
hesitate means to pause before act
ing. Failure TO do so has caused the
deaths OF o.i0l persons in the last
five years. which Mr.. Grey reminds
us is almost twice the number killed
in the Battle OF Gettysburg.
Railroading in America has been so
highly developed that serious COLI
sions and derailments are now rare.
as compared with thirty or foursy
years ago. Large railroad systems
sometimes go for years without 1
single mishap to a passenger on their
trains. The face value OF some ac-
cident insurance policies automatic
ally doubles in case OF injury in
steam train accident. One is safer.
therefore. on a train than at home.
On the other hand why is travel by
automobile unsafe? Mr.. Grey gives
two reasons. Except in few states
automobile drivers are not examined
before being licensed aud in not more
than one case out of five does the dri-
yer stop and look in either direction
at grade crossing.
Something must be done at once
to stop this awful sacrifice of human
life. Eliminating all grade crossings
is not the remedy. according to Mr..
Gray. who points out that there are
$4,000 such crossings in the United
States and at an average OF S50,OOO
it would cost Sl2, SOC. 100000 to remove
them, and al least thirty years would
be required to do the work. Aside
| from the fact that neither the rail-
roads nor the municipalities have the
money. and that the railroads could
raise the money only by raising the
rates. the remedy must be applied
here and now. The Stop. Look and
Listen rule can be made effective at
once without any cost except the
price of few seconds wait at the
crossing to let pass the train which
by law and common sense has the
right OF way.
Two features Of the grade crossing
accident question need emphasizing
When a motorist races with i train
and scoots over the crossing just IN
| front of it, or il he stops. but gives
the engineer no evidence that he in
tends to do so, the engineer suffers
severe nervous shock which fire.
quently unnerves him.
Nor are the occupants OF the auto
mobiles the only ones whose lives are
imperied by grade crossing accidents.
Recently several trains on eastern
roads have been derailed by colliding
with motor vehicles and enginemen
and passengers have been killed.
The railroads carry on nationwide

| lists should do their part by stopping
to look in both directions and listen
before attempting to cross. II every
motorist would take the pledge to do
that, crossing accidents and not hui
man lives, would be wiped out.

STAR LAB0Rs TWO DAYS
As SODA CLERK TO GET
EXPERIENCE FOR COMEDY

A search for practical experience
for use before a motion picture
camera led Walter Hers, star in Par
amount pictures. into some new and
unexplored fields of excitement.
In his new comedy, sixty Cents
an Hour which will be the feature
at the Rialto theater today. Mr..
Hers performs the duties of a soda
fountain clerk. But he had no knowi-
edge OF how to mix drinks. which
was necessary to the success of the
role. At Director Joseph Henabery's
suggestion. Mr.. Hers decided to work
behind a real fountain for a few days
and acquire Q little technical expert
ence.
He managed to persuade the owner
Of a soda fountain near his home to
give him a job" He was fitted out
in a suit of white linen and shown
the receptacle in which each flavor
ing extract was to be found.
Mr.. Hers first attempts to "Jerk
sodas" were ludicrous. Some of his
fancy sundaes resembled Chinese
chop suey In appearance. and almost
in taste. Economy with his flavor
ing extracts caused his first few
drinks to taste exactly like carbon
water.
But the real climax of the day
came when Mrs. Hers, Walters new
ly wed wife. returning from town,
decided to stop off at the corner drug
store and nave a soda. since she had
been through a busy shopping after
noon. Walter had failed to explain
to her that he was to seek a little
experience. so she was surprised and
shocked to find her husband. a mo-
ton picture star. working as a soda
clerk. In his confusion, Mr.. Hers
accidentally pressed too hard on the
water faucet and thoroughly wet
everybody and everything in that end
of the store.
