OWYHEE HANGS
IN BALANCE At
WASHINGTON
Oregon Will Get Recla-
nation Project; One
of Four to Be Named
Soon

That an Oregon project" with an
appropriation OF SS50.0OO to start con-
struction has been recommended by
the interior and may find its way
past the watchful eyes OF the budget
bureau upon the ground that this
sum represents an unexpended balance
due Oregon from this fund is one
of the notable features OF recent recla-
nation developments in Washington,
d. c.
What project will be selected has
not been determined as yet. AT least
four projects, the Owyhee, the Des-
chutes, the Baker and the Warm
Springs, have lobbies in Washington
at present pressing their caims for
recognition Tied up as it is with
permanent relief for the Gem dis
trict and for several other pumping
projects in eastern Oregon. the Owy-
hee is favored by Idaho representa-
tives as the logical project for ap-
proval. Cost per acre. productivity.
together with other features make
this the logical project. it is believed.
Blu, the situation is complicated by an
unexpended balance already appro-
priated for the Baker project and
political situation in Oregon where
senator and congressman, McNary
and Sinnot, dare not commit them
selves for any project
]. II. Lowell, Gem district secre-
,ary. upon his return from Washing
ton. said that he has hopes for the
approval of the Owyhee project in
preference to the others. Additional
facts on construction costs and other
features of this project have been
submitted to the department by j.
B. Bond, Boise project manager. De-
cision upon which project will be
favored will be learned in few days,
il is believed.
In addition to providing water Tor
about $1,000 acres of land already
brought under cultivation, the Owy-
hee project will reclaim about 100000
acres of virgin soil However. THIS
project has one possible criticism
from the department standpoint III
that il is a big undertaking, and VIII
necessitate the investment OF much
money and will take years to complete
With the fate of federal reclamation
in doubt as a policy, it is considered
within possibility that the department
OF the interior will hesitate to approve
such a big project at present.

City Quiet After
Christmas Holiday
Wednesday and Thurs
dav Devoid of News
and Business

Caldwell Wednesday and Thursday
was a typically quiet town following
the hurry and hustle OF prc-Christmas
shopping. Crowds focked into Cald-
well stores Monday and early Monday
evening. the night before Christmas.
But by nine O'Clock, the down town
district was practically emptied save
for a few stragglers who were hastily
trying to find something or somebody.
Most OF the late shoppers were men
who had put off until the last gasp
a duty to friends and family. But a
few women, receiving unexpected
presents from some forgotten relative
or friend, hasten at the last minute to
make things right.
But Wednesday it was all over.
And perhaps because people didn't
care to further shopping experiences,
the stores were sadly lacking custom
ers.
News, too, the editor found, was
scarce. Things weren't happening
Hurry up calls to nearby towns for
a "live" story disclosed the fact that
there too, everybody was quietly re-
covering from Christmas.

Mediocre defensive work and IN
ability of the team to use to advantage
the spacious Boise Y. NJ. {. A. floor
cost the College OF Idaho basket ball
team its first game OF the season
against the United Presbyterian church
team of the Y. NJ. c. A. league at
Boise Wednesday evening. The score
was 1924.
Only in flashes did the college qu;n-
tet show stuff it is capdble OF using.
Rallies were short lived, however, and
a succession OF long shots in the sec
ond half with Coach Kahn OF the
Boise high quintet and Theron Robin
son on the shooting end piled up
enough markers to win the game.
Practice will be held regularly
throughout the Christmas vacation.
Several additional games will probably
be scheduled to be played on the
Boise y. NJ. c. A. floor to acquaint
the Coyotes with the larger playing
court. Conference games VIII start

Little Rag Dolls

Savannah News: In a hospital the
other day, according to the cold-blood-
ed reports of the practical record of
the place, little rag doll-baby nursed
a tiny life back from the edge of the
outer world. Doctors said so-aEd
doctors are eminently men of cool deal
ing with actual facts rather than
fancies and fairy tales. Nurses said
so-and nurses must not jump at con-
illusions and take things for granted.
But the doctors and nurses, who must
know what they are talking about,
said that the little girl patient was in
just such condition in which the state
of mind had much to do with the poise
of the physical condition.
1t isn't children only to whom a rag
doll of one sort or another-with all
that is wrapped up in rag doll-may
mean life or death. What that rag
doll meant to the tiny patient hover
ing mid-world between here and here
after, little commonplace, original,
sincere expression of thoughtfulness
and interest and love may mean to a
big, strong man who is in the balance
of circumstances, to a young woman
in position where feathers weight
might tip the scales one way or that
other terrible way.
The world doesn't diagnose indivi-
dual lives-it cannot. 1t doesn't know
when there is crisis. 1t doesn't stop
to take temperatures and count pulse
beats and so it doesn't know when
there is an emergency when, in addi-
tion to all the mathematical and prac-
teal things, there is needed just bit
of human kindness to decide fate.
But it is such a possible and easy
thing to make of the scraps and rem
nants and seemingly useless things at
hand-a rag doll that could mean life
to child. 1t is such a simple thing
to remember that gray hairs and child
hood are not SO far apart after all and
that rag dolls may be of many kinds.

In a determined effort to carry to

Minnesota Editorial Association to
provide industrial training for the
crippled children of Minnesota as a
memorial to Michael J. Bowling, an
ncuncement is made by j. r. Landy,

that has not thus far raised its share
of 100000 sought.
Serving with Mr.. Landy as officers
Of the committee are E. K. Whiting,
vice chairman, Hattie S. ,Bordewich,
treasurer, H. C. Hotaling, secretary
and Harry Wilbern. associate secre-
tary Headquarters have been estab-
lisbed at 529 Second avenue So, Min
neapolis.
Already there has been raised
$4,000 of which members of the
Minnesota Bankers Association have
given $4,000 and $4,000 by the
editors. While no specific quota will
be set for any county, it is recognized
that, aside from the contribution of
the bankers, 3 cents per capita will
raise the balance. with the appeal
OF little children with crippled bodies
who seek an opportunity to live out
their lives in self respect, there is no
doubt" said Mr.. Landy, "but that
every county in the entire state will
give its full share"
Every dollar contributed to the
Bowling Memorial Fund will be used
fof building a hospital for crippled
children and for no other purposes
1t will help many little children,
crippled and unfortunate, awaiting
their chance to get treatment at the
State School for Crippled Children.
1t is to care for some of these that
the Memorial dormitory is planned.
