Drawing the hazardous fire of machine

tanks were disabled, Colonel Thomp-

Reclamation Commissioner Warren

spection of the system and the pro-
posal to secure cheaper power main
tenances rates by the construction of
a hydro-electric plant at the spill
way of the Arrow Rock dam.
Congressman Addison T. Smith,
chairman Of the reclamation COM
mittee OF the House investigated the
proposal few days ago and make
very favorable report. The dam
district comprises 10000 acres out of
Caldwell, 10000 acres of which are
under water. The water is now
secured by direct pumping from the
Snake river but the pumping charge
is entirely too burdensome and IL
cheaper maintenance is not obtained
the district must fail. 1t is proposed
that power plant be constructed at
the Arrow Rock dam at an approx
mate cost of $450,000 which would
develop approximately 10000 horse

Caldwell, is manager Of the district.

A little girl hes been deeply con-
cerned about the possibility Of ascer-
tanning the exact shape Of the earth
by means of synchronized wireless
messages. A few random experiments
seem to show that the term globe" is
not quite happy one, and that Mother
Earth may indeed be pear-shaped.
Mary has been duly impressed.

home from school, "our teacher said
today that the earth Is round"

negatively.
II didn't tell him he was wrong"
said Mary, loftily.
