 Discussion or School Question. Editor of the New Britain Herald:---
 Dear Sir:
 This letter comes in the interest of fair play, and not in the interest of any individual.
 The undersigned wonder where the writer of a previous letter on the school question in Berlin got her in- formation. We have during the year talked with almost all the teachers in the Kensington Grammar school building at various times. We are soool Cu eIlC dtoi pdl ent has not been in the building dur ing school hours this school year. We wonder just how reliable information brought home by children really is.
 We wonder why the school board has never thought it wise to ask the former New York school teacher to act as substitute teacher this winter when substitute teachers were in de- mand.
 Here are some questions for consid- eration:
 the town signed the petition mention ed?
 How many of the signers are par ents?
 How many of them would be glad to have their names published in this connection?
 How many of them are sure this whole affair is one of public spirit rather than of personal grievance?

ENGINEER PENSIONED

James G. Dram of Blackfoot was
put on a pension by the Oregon Short
Line on the 9Th of April, that be-
ing the day after he reached the
age of seventy years. He had SER
we'd the railroad company fifty years,
and seventy is the age limit for
their employees.
Mr. Dram was born in England
and came to America when he was
fifteen years old. His people tray
eled west by rail to North Platte,
Nebraska, and drove from there to
Salt Lake. He went to work for
the railroad company as fireman in
1873 and has been an engineer most
of his time since 1880.
Mr.. Dram has been so busy all
his life and his runs have been so
steady, seven days in the week in
recent years, that he finds time hang
ing rather heavy on his hands now.
He is making garden and doing other
work around home, and trying to
get the habit Of reading more than
he has had time for while he was
working.

LAST OF SCOTT CARAVAN

TWIN FALLS-Ed Dunn and his
wife have left the Roseworth tract,
that piece of land in Idaho made
famous by the Scott caravan, the
members of which "trecked" across
the continent in automobiles to To-
cate in Idaho and which venture has
had such a disastrous ending thru
no fault of the land and no fault Of
the people other than they were not
suited and fitted to take the life re-
quired and owing to the fact that
the land is located too far from the
railroad and markets. 1t is not
question of the land being made to
pay, but it was a question Of those
people not being able to adapt them
selves to the conditions and they
were deceived by the stories told
them, not that the stories were I'M
true, for Idaho can, will and does
do all that was promised, for men
are doing it but the people in ques-
tion right from the heart Of the city
of New York were not able and will
ing to take up the work necessary
to make success.
The last settler has left the tract.
Many have returned to New York;
some are remaining in Twin Falls
and others in other sections of the
state. The arrival of the caravan in
Idaho was made an event brought
on by the wide publicity given.

FORMER GOVERNOR DOING 1T

Former Governor D. w. Davis
leaves Washington Saturday to in
spect thirteen of the largest recla-
nation projects in the country, in
Guiding three in Idaho, and Idaho is
not likely to lose anything by his get
ting in close touch with all of these
undertakings. The following is a
Washington dispatch of April g.:
Survey Of reclamation projects in
the west, with special attention to
charges of excessive overhead ex-
penditures, has ordered by Secretary
Work at the first of series of in
vestigation tours will be made this
month by Special Assistant Secre-
tary D. w. Davis and Director A. P.
Davis of the reclamation service,
who will leave Washington April IA.
Assistant Secretary Davis, who as
governor of Idaho, acted as president
of the Western States Reclamation
association is said to be familiar al
ready with the status Of the work
now being done in the west. His
itinerary will include the projects:
Carlsbad, Rio Grande, Salt River,
Yuma, New Lands, Yakima, Una
tilla, Boise, Minidoka, American
Falls, Strawberry Valley, Uncom-
pagre and North Platte.

FIRST NATIONAL
ELECTS OFFICERS

The First National Bank recently
elected as it's officers, Alex Younie,
president; Joseph Coumerilh, vice
president; L. C Collins, Cashier;
L. J. Chapman, assistant cashier.
The directors are Alex Younie,
Joseph Coumerilh, Neil F. Boyle, l..
C. Collins and Forrest Kennedy, the
latter being elected to take the
place left vacant by the death Of
his father, E. M. Kennedy, last
month.
The financial statement of this
bank is published in this issue of
the Republican, and we call atten-
ton to the large amount of deposits
and proportional amount of their
loans, while yet keeping reserve
considerable larger than is required
by law to protect the depositors. 1t
shows that they are carrying people
and enterprises in proportion to their
ability, an dthat the people of this
part of the county are joining with
the bank in pooling their capital to
make it do full duty thru the instru-
ment Of banking.

ORPHEUM THEATRE CLOSED

Mr.. and Mrs. Manders who have
been operating the Orpheum theatre
recently, and the Isis before that,
have failed to appear and open the
show for about a week, and the in
ference is that they became finan-
cially involved and gave up the I'M
dertaking.
The town has been overdOne in
the theatre business during the hard
times, and with what transient en-
tertainments and home talents that
have been offered to the public, two
picture shows found it difficult I'M
dertaking to keep going. If the
patronage of the public were now
concentrated on one show it would
probably make it profitable and it
would have a chance to give better
pictures. Good pictures cost more
than poor ones, and it has been a
discouraging matter for either show
to purchase the high priced ones and
offer them in competition with
cheaper ones running at the same
time. The public has a large mea-
sure Of control of picture shows if
they will but use it, showing their
appreciation of wholesome pictures
and patronizing those that furnish
them.

MASONIC CLUB ROOMS COMING

At Wednesday evenings meeting
of the Masons, the building commit.
tee reported program disposing Of
the subject of the new building fol
three or four years.
They have an offer of a lease for
five years, of the second floor of the
Brown Eldredge Furniture Com
pany's building and at very reason
able cost, and they advised having
it fitted out new for a lodge room,
with kitchen, dining room, lounging
rooms. and Hobbies. 1t was estimat-
ed that an investment of three thou
sand dollars in furniture and fittings
would be needed, and these for the
most part would be suitable for the
new building when it is erected.
They have lots at the corner of
Broadway and Judicial, and in the
next four or five years they will have
the paving paid for and will probably
be ready to erect building.
The lodge authorized the commit
tee to go ahead with the lease and
the refitting of the building.

STATE APPROVES RESERVOIR

Boise, Idaho, April 10.-Warren
G. Swendsen, state commissioner of
reclamation, has placed the seal of
state approval upon the plan of pro-
cedure of the American Falls reser-
voir district, the estimated cost and
it's participation in the construction
of the American Falls reservoir pro-
ject The commissioner report
states that the purpose of the dis
trict is to provide supplemental
water supply for lands already in
cultivation and having irrigation sys-
TENS, the feasibility off employing
which to carry the supplemental, or
insurance, water had been fully dem
onstrated.
Referring to the reservoir site at
American Falls, the report states:
Studies have been made of this
site by many eminent authorities at
various times during the past 10
years. A large part of the data re-
sulting from such studies has been,
from time to time, available to the
writer, from which it is concluded
that the site is favorable to the con-
struction of an impounding reser-
voir, which will ultimately serve to
regulate the flow of Snake river in
the interests of irrigation"
The report disclosed that, without
a single exception. the authorities
have approved the site, and it is APP
proved by the commissioner.
1t is related in the report that the
plan is to build a reservoir unit at
the beginning of 100000 acre feet
to be used by various sec
tons, aside from the district in ques-
ton and the U. S. government, to
be paid for pro-rata, and that the
estimated cost is $9,000,000.
Insofar as 1 have been able to de-
termine from an examination of all
the available data and information
submitted to me-" says Commission
or Swendson's report, 81 believe the
cost estimate is conservative and re-
presents fairly the probable ultimate
cost of the contemplated work.
I'M familiar with the detailed cost
If storage in other reservoirs here
.ofore constructed in Idaho and else
where, and by comparing such cost
With the estimate herein, it is my
conclusion that the estimate you pre-
ent is conservative and safe and
will in all probability be found some
What in excess of the actual cost"

CLASS TRACK MEET AT
FAIR GROUNDS FRIDAY

The annual high school class track
meet will be held at the Fair
Grounds this Friday. A large num-
Der of new students are taking an
interest in this sport this spring and
are working hard to get a team
which will compete favorably with
other schools in the district track
meet which will be held at Poca-
tello on or about April %.
This class meet will be different
than the one last year and we hope
a better one. The Senior class, in
order to increase the spirit of compe-
tition, has challenged the Freshmen,
Sophomore and Junior classes COM
bined. Most of the school seem to
think that the Seniors have bitten off
too big chunk but they remain Sc
cure in their belief that they can car
ry off the honors. The challenge was
issued on Monday morning and af-
ter school of the same day the boys
assembled in two different rooms
where they elected their captains and
lined their men up for the different
contests. Ernest Johnson is cap
tain of the Senior tract team and
Herbert Cone of the opposing team.
Altho Blackfoot lost few of her
best track men last year she still
has lot of good material and will
be we'll prepared to meet the other
schools of the district at Pocatello.
Coach Holder has had a great deal
of experience in this line and it get
ting good results from boys who
were not in the lead last year The
meet Friday will show the results of
his work and those who are inter-
ested in athletics will be we'll repaid
if they attend.

Here are some of the thought
that are featured in the Information
al Harvester book as the most i'm
portant:
Feed ourselves. Sell something
every week.
A farm is more than a business.
A farm is business and home
combined.
Raise a variety of crops but not
too many varieties.
Raise a garden and have 1t big
enough to feed the family in season
and some to store for winter.
Have cows, and remember that
the family must be fed, and dairy
products are among the best and the
cheapest of foods.
Raise poultry. How can you have
eggs and friend chicken unless you
raise them or buy them? Who can
raise them cheaper or better than
the farmer who has much of the nee
essary feed going to waste, for fowls
live largely on bugs, worms, bulbs,
plants and things that would go to
waste but for the fowls.
Raise hogs. How can you have
pork and beans and hams and Shout
ders unless you raise them or buy
them. And why pay other people
to raise them for you? If it is
profitable to others to raise them to
sell to you, it ought to profit you to
sell them to yourself, for there is
no expense of packing and shipping
selling and delivering them to your
self-You save all that.
If a family can raise enough of
all these things to feed themselves,
it does not matter to them about the
high freight on those articles since
there is no freight for you to pay
we'll, yes, the higher the freight rate
IS, the better chance the family has
% make profit by raising some ex-
.ra of each to sell to their neighbors
who buy. 1t is easy to raise some
extra to sell, since you are raising
some anyway. The family that has
to sell every week gets
along the best
Don't sell all of these things that
