There were only minor exterior ndi-
cations OF the blow that he had re-

minor conclusions had occurred which
might prove more serious than they
threatened Monday.

BUREAU DID NOT
ASK FOR FUNDS
Appropriation A Is Sought
Solely for County
Club Work

Newspaper publicity indicating that
committee OF business men and far
mers asked the county commission
ers for an appropriation of $1,000 to
help finance the Canyon county farm
bureau is not strictly accurate. accord
ing to A. /. O'Reilly. county agent.
In correcting this viewpoint. Mr.. O
Reilly pointed out that the committee
which appeared before the commits
sioners was not a farm bureau COM
mittee nor the board OF directors but
a committee of Caldwell. Nampa and
Wilder business men. together with
few farmers.
And instead OF asking an appropria-
ton for the farm bureau, Mr.. O'Reilly
said the committee asked this money
to carry on boys and girls club work
in the county to employ director for
this work.
THE farm bureau is not asking for
anything. "Mr. O'Reilly declared
Monday" We have no wisf, to sponge
off the taxpayers. And while the club
work is sponsored by the farm bureau.
the bureau is not in position to carry
it on successfully. having no appro-
priation or funds for the work.
Last Friday a committee OF citizens
headed by /. NJ. Mccarthy asked the
commissioners to make an appropi-
tation OF $1,000 to carry on this work.
The request was taken under advise
ment by the board.

WATER SUPPLY
LOOKS BETTER
Deer Flat Closely Ap-
proaches 1921 Figure;
Grows Fast.

Deer Flat reservoir Monday morn
ing was short only 1907 acre feet OF
carrying as much water as was stored
there in 1921. And 1921. according to
L. ]. Magee, secretary of the Payette-
Boise Water Users association. was
a banner year for project settlers from
the water supply standpoint. That
year, Deer Flat held $4,000 acre feet
on October 81.
This is the way the dope looked
Monday:
June IL, l6l,42S acre feet
june IL, lo22....l20,S7o acre feet
June II, lo2l-lo4s495 acre feet
That means 40,552 acre feet more
water than was stored in Deer flat
last year on the same date. Arrow
Rock is full and running over, having
its capacity of 100000 acre feet in
storage.
Recent rains that have cut deliveries
of water to minimum have made
possible the tremendous gains regis
tered a, the reservoir in recent weeks.
Some districts report only 10 per
cent capacity delivery of water and
New York canal is pouring water into
the reservoir almost at capacity rate
Unless farmers become extrava-
giant in the use of water simply be-
cause they think they have lots OF II.
the season will be a good one, MI
Magee said Monday. "Of course, IN
comparing today with 1921 figures, the
fact should be remembered that there
is mosc land under cultivation and
more land intensely cultivated than
was true then. This will make some
difference but cannot say just how
much"

FREE PARK BIC
PROBLEM THAT
FACES COUNCIL
Question Must Be De-
cided Today If Budget
Is to Include Appro-
priation.

Whether or not Caldwell will have a
first class tourist park. asking for its
use a nominal fee. viii probably be de-
cided today and this evening. For at
noon the matter will probably once
more be brought before the Retail
Merchants association. The Commer-
cial club tonight will hash the matter
over thoroughly and the city coun,il
meets this evening to draft the city
budget for the coming year.
Unless L. A. Harmon, chairman OF
the park committee. makes recon-
mendations. no provision will be in
cluded in this years budget for tour
ist park As the situation now exists.
no attempt will be made. it is believed,
to do anything with the local tourist
park problem. In that event the pres
ent park will be operated as it is now
without alienation or improvement. 1t
is believed.
A careful canvass of the tourists
who have used Caldwell's park the last
week indicates clearly tina; there is no
objection to fee park providing ade-
quate accommodations are provided.
Most tourists would be glad to pay
the charge" A. 0. Nelson. OF Idaho
Falls, said last Friday in an opinion
that seems to sound the keynote for
almost every tourist addressed on the
subject. I'VE have been over most OF
the west" continued Mr.. Nelson, and
the only resentment | have ever found
to a pay park existed where they
charged for nothing or where discour-
,esy and dirt were the chief recon-
mendations for the parks in question.
Salt Lake is a good example.
Il believe that the aveage tourist
would not only be willing but glad to
pay a small fee for the added comforts
ne received, and the protection accord
ed his person and property by having
an attendant always on the Job. There
are some tourists who will object but
| am convinced they are OF a class
that you would not care to have re-
main to become citizens of your COM
munity."

I0AHO FUTURE
LOOMS BRIGHT
IN YEAR AHEAD
State Today Undergoing
Greatest Development
in Decade; Farmers
Outlook Good.

Ro;se- Idaho is coming into its
own and especially in southern Idaho
where this year there is more indus
trial development than has been known
IN the past ten years. The agricuitur-
., sections we're hard hit by the de-
o,ess;on that followed the war but the
farmers BY retrenchment and by diff
ierent methods of farming including
intensified and diversified farming
aloug with the stabilizing OF the mar
kets and prices are on their sure way
to prosperity.
Reside number OF small reclama-
,;ou systems being developed in the
state there are two which stand out as
major projects which mean thousands
OF new homes and better living con-
ditions for many who are now work
ing dry farms. These two greateh rec
lamation projects are the American
Falls and the Greater Fort Hall sys-
TENS. In the Greater Fort Hall sys-
TEN S350,0O0 will be spent in raising
the dam level and running canals on
a higher level, bringing more than
$4,000 acres under water.
Water Is Factor.
The American Falls reclamation
project will place a small empire un-
der cultivation for the first time, over
10000 acres in the first unit. How
ever. more than one million acres OF
land will be affected in securing better
and greater water service under the
American Falls dam. This great dis
trict will be insured sufficient water
and commensurate prosperity until the
end OF time.
The Oregon Short Line railroad is
spending several millions in the state,
first in double tracking large section
OF its road out of Glenns Ferry and in
extensions. The main line road TO be
built through Boise and the line now
authorized from the Twin Falls coun-
try to Wells, Nevada, mean much to
the development of the state. The out
let through Nevada will give another
short cut for the produce OF southern
Idaho to the markets of California and
to the Orient and all of the construc-

Assessor Aspelun5 Writes
First State Hail Insurance

County Assessor Aspelund reports
that he has received the first applica-
ton for a state hail insurance policy
this season. this week. A. M. Hagan,
prominent RedstOne farmer made that
application, which was accepted and
a policy issued. This is the start of
what Assessor Aspelund thinks will
be a record breaking season for state
hail insurance in Sheridan county.
Sheridan county is probably the ban
ner county for state ;hail insurance
and those who have Insured with the
state in the past repeat each year and
induce a number of their friends to
avail themselves of the insurance fur
nished by the state, thus each year
increasing the amount of this protec-
tion used. This insuI ance is easy to
get, is cheap and does not require the
same exactions that isl required by the
private insurance companies. 1t is
well that every farmer should pro.
tect himself as early as possible.

THE- GREAT TELESCOPE

The 1O0-inch tedescope recently IN
stalled at Pasadena, Cal. is by far the
largest nthe world, the great glass
works at Paris. experimental for three
wears in casting this great piece of
glass, three years before they succeed
ed in producing this one piece that was
to be placed in this mighty telescope.
1t was then taken by boat to Pas
adena, and there ground, and polished
for years, by the greatest experts IN
the world. 1t was then packed In par
afne, and placed upon trucks timed to
run only two miles per hour, and
taken to the top Of Mt. Wilson, twelve
miles away. This ore piece of glass
weighs nine thousand pounds.
It was then fitted in this telescope,
that hangs in carriage weighing
one hundred tons, covered with a can
opy, weighing another hundred tons,
all supported by framework weigh
ing five hundred tons.
The canopy and the telescope are
moved by electrical power, and when
the telescope is adjusted to the point
of the heavens desired, the clock time
ing apparatus is set working, to hold it
at that position against the rotation
of the earth upon It's axis, as long as
they choose.
This telescope is mainly for techni-
cal work, to penetrate the ether, be-
yond the reach of all other instIu
ments, and bring into view thousands
of stars, (suns) never seen before by
man, upon this planet.
