of his office.
Joe Reilly, upon learning Of the ac-
ton of the commissioners told them
he could not work for that salary and
would quit that night and for them
to secure someone in his place by
morning The board thought he was
bluffing and did not get a janitor.

no heat at the courthouse, the officials
and attaches sitting around in their

A delegation of officers of the
citation, which includes the users pos
sessing river rights, appeared before
the February meeting of the Big Wood
Canal company board here Thursday
with the request that the canal COM
pany not decree its river rights, be-
cause of detrimental effect on the wa
ter rights of the members of the as
sociation. In the delegation were
w. J. Calkins, T. E. Painter and A.
w. Daubner.
After hearing the men, the canal
board decided to not grant the re-
quest and also instructed their at
torney, w. G. Bissell, to go ahead
with the summart proceedings neces-
sary to decreeing the company's rights,
the notice of which appears in the
Journal this week.
The board also heard two delega-
tions from Dietrich. on the action the
board had previously taken placing
Dietrich and Richfield tracts under
one superintendent this season. Last
season each of these tracts had a SUI
perintendent, but in the interests of
economy, the board deemed it best
for the two tracts to get along with
one superintendent.
One Dietrich delegation was present
to approve the action already taken
by the board and the other to protest
such action and to ask for separate
superintendent for Dietrich. Follow
ing the discussion, the directors an
nounced that they would stand by the
action already taken for the present
season at least and have just the one
superintendent for both tracts.
Secretary S. T. Baer gave to the
board his annual report, showing that
the company is financially $4,000 bet
ter off than it was a year ago. The
directors were greatly pleased with
his report. Contract for auditing the
books was again let to Howard Smell
of Boise for the amount of s135.O0.
Watermaster S. H. Chapman ap-
peared before the board with a re-
quest for run of water in the amount
of 1000 acre feet for domestic puposes
for the river rights The request was
granted providing Manager ]. E. Bad
ley found it safe to use the gates at
this time.

Go To Church Next Sunday

Going to church may be habit. Even so, we
must admit that it is very good habit. Many
men and women go to church who are not church
members, and who never even expect to become
members of any religious body but simply because
they appreciate thee refining influence of the
service.
We have excellent churches here in this town.
We have eloquent ministers in the pulpts of all
denominations. Our churches have ell-traned
choirs. The music in churches is exceedingly
attractive to those who have adequate notion of
the good things of life
Suppose you decide to go to church next Sunday
1t will do you good. You will be fully rewarded
in going. Perhaps you have not been in years.
Perhaps you may think that when you take your
seat in the pew you will feel like stranger. But
do not let that disturb you. Go! Forget your
self. Think of what the minister says Consider
well and carefully his message. Enjoy the music
Regardless of what your religious views may
be- and it is certainly true that in our America of
freedom of thought every citizen has the right to
worship his Creator according to the dictation of
his own conscience, you must admit, if you think
at all, that the church has very important place
in the social scheme of our world. Think about
this Think about your welfare! Go to church
next Sunday!

Excursion Dates
Are Finally Set
Time of Davis Visit Will
Be Utilized

Information from V. T. Craig. pre-
sident of the Emmett Chamber OF
Commerce. indicates that some date
between May and May 10 will be
set for the long contemplated excur-
sion to the Black Canyon dam. 1t
is only within the past few days the
actual construction work has been un-
dertaken to the point where a visit
to the dam would provide something
worth seeing.
The fact that d. w. Davis. former
Idaho governor, and now an assistant
to the secretary OF the interior. is to
visit the Black Canyon project early
in May led to selecting this date for
the excursion. The exact date of his
visit has not yet been determined
According to present plans. excur-
sionists will be asked to take lunches
their being no facilities at the Black
Canyon dam site for supplying re-
freshments to the large crowd that is
to visit the dam on excur-
sion day. Coffee alone will be provid-
ed

LIKELY TODAY
Registration Total Is
2203; Interest at a
High Point

Total registration for the mbunici-
pal election to be held today was an
nounced Monday by City Clerk. ;
Earle Boyes to total 21O3. This is
l7o less than the aggregate registra-
ton OF two years ago when the max
imum Caldwell registration for mum
icipal election was obtained. Registra-
ton was divided as follows by wards
first ward, 4S5; second ward, ll42.
and the third ward. $40.
Polls will be open from Q a. m
until 7 p. m. Complete machinery has
been perfected for handling the cleo
ton. Counting will begin as soon as
so ballots have been cast in each ward
il is believed that the outcome OF the
election will be learned early this
evening. Arrangements have been made
TO report progress of the count and
complete returns at the American
theatre this evening where THE Man
Without a Country" is to be shown
under auspices of the American
Legion.
Voters in the first ward will cast
their ballots at the court house. those
in the second ward at the sales yard.
Ninth and Blaine streets. while the
city hall will be used in the third
ward. Predictions are made that a
heavy vote will be registered today
Complete machinery to get out the
vote will be on the job this afternoon
with the result that probably every
body who can be induced to go to
the polls will get there. Not onlyhas
the city campaign been warm enough
to insure a good vote but the Sunday
picture show issue is also expected to
swell the total Both the anti and
pro-Sunday picture show forces will
have vote getting organizations in the

CALDWELL USES
TELEPHONES TO
CRAB BUSINESS
Long Distance Calls here
Are Third in State and
Closely Push Boise for
Honors.

Caldwell citizens believe in using the
,elephone as the quickest means oi
conducting business and social affairs
In March, according to information
rsce;ved here Monday by III. w
croesbeck. local telephone manager
Caldwell long distance calls exceeded
those Of every city and town in Idaho
with but two exceptions, Boise and
Twin Falls. Pocatello, Nampa, Idaho
Falls Burley; all these cities tagged
Caldwell in the number OF toll calls
offered.
Caldwell has but 1920 telephones on
the local exchange. Boise has 6O00.
But despite this fact, Boise only Of
fered 400 more long distance calls
than we're credited TO the local ex-
change That this is the narrowest OF
margins can be gathered from the fact
that every month between 1000 and
5000 long distance calls are offered the
Caldwell exchange. This has no re-
latiouship to the ordinary local calls,
these totalling about 1000 in Caldwell
daily.
Nampa has always tagged Caldwell
IN the number of long distance calls.
In fact. the Junction City, in spite OF
a slightly larger number of telephone
users. places about 1000 less long dis
lance calls every month than do Cald-
well telephone patrons. That the To-
cal toll record is not inflated may be
gathered from the fact that % per cent
OF those placed in March were COM
pleted. And this is the normal aver
age for cities of Caldwell's size, the
running more than "a per cent.
Telephone company officials are at
a loss to explain this quite remarkable
use of the telephone by Caldwell citi-
zens. There seems no plausible reas-
on why the number of toll calls placed
here should exceed those OF cities OF
greater populatio and so closely
approach those placed at BOISE where
all state business is conducted.
