HOLDING IN
THE BALANCE

The Dubois Project, designed to
reclaim a vast acreage of fertile
lands in the region northwest of
Idaho Falls, is in need of small
fund to complete the report of the
government survey. The federal gov
eminent sent a crew over the pro-
ject last summer to survey it and re-
port as to it's feasibility. Around
$4,000 was spent for this work, the
government matching the money
raised by he various communities.
Now there is need of 81, 900 more to
complete the drawings and issue the
report SO that basis will be had for
actually going ahead and getting
some real work done on the project.
The government has its share of the
money ready, but the communities
will be called upon for little more
help.
Available information indicates
that the project is feasible and will
be included by the government in
its big general scheme in connection
with the American Falls dam. Those
who have been following the Dubois
projects progress say that it was
this project that finally put the Am
erican Falls dam over. They say
that when the American Falls pro-
ject was hanging in the balance and
there was question of financing and
water exchanges the Dubois project
came forward and agreed to take the
Jackson Lake water that is owned
by interests in the lower country so
that those interests could get into
the American Falls plan and help
put it over. Now the Dubois pro-
ject is hanging in similar balance
and they are wondering if their eff
forts have been forgotten or if they
can get the small sum so vitality
needed at this time-Idaho Falls

Lady Erythea contemplated Billy's
tall figure and serenely handsome face
with a certain regret.

leaving Jervaulx."
Billy smiled.

Aimee sighed The hour was nearly
noon On the day following the Odyssey
of the crag pits. No news had been
heard of Calamity Kate, who appeared
to have drifted out of history on the
Sphinx A brief interval Of peace had
settled upon JervaulX.
"There'll be a vacancy for a parlor-
maid an chauffeur" announced Billy
with decision. He was standing on the
gravel just outside the window. Gail

the slate. It's only a fool that backs
his luck too far And it's time to quit
the game and turn the lights out"
"That means Aunt has got to know

and all the rest of it."
