just one way that I can do it and
that is by rubbing myself every night

CANAL MEETING CALLED
BY STATE ENGINEER

State Engineer w. G. Swendse1
has addressed a letter to the cana
companies of the upper Snake rivel
valley calling them to meet at Idaho
Falls on Tuesday, Jan. 80, the let
ter reading as follows:
Gentlemen:
In the interest of securing a har
monious cooperation of water users
in the Snake river valley and in
Water District No. SO during the
coming year, it seems necessary that
consideration be given to the mat.
ter of formulating plans for the
guidance of the watermaster and
other administrative officers charged
with the responsibility of policing
streams and distribution of water
among users.
Among other things, it is essen
tial that the rights of respective
parties to the use of water, be
definitely defined and known, in
order that satisfaction may be given
by persons charged with the re-
sponsibility for distribution. The
Snake river DEGREES serve this pur-
pose except as regards deliverable
storage rights.
The rights to the use of the
waters of Jackson Lake are refined
and described at the lake in terms
of acre feet. The DEGREES or defini
lions of these rights do not cover the
questions as to what loss shall be
charged in transmitting stored
water thru the natural channel of
Snake river from the reservoir to
the points Of diversion of the re-
spective owners of such stored
water. Likewise, the DEGREES and
definitions of rights fail to indicate
to what extent, if any, Jackson Lake
operated as an equalizing reservoir
prior to the construction of the
dam; neither does this decree or
definition of rights indicate what, if
any, loss should be charged to own
ers of stored water by reason of
evaporation on the lake surface
growing out of increased area due
to dam construction. There is
nothing in the decree or definition
what is commonly referred to as
bank storage" in the said Jackson
Lake reservoir. The topographic
map which indicates the capacity of
this reservoir at various levels OBJ
viously takes into consideration |
reservoir capacity above the original
reservoir bed only. The question as
to the existence of bank storage and
the amount thereof are therefore
mooted questions.
Recently some dissatisfaction has
been expressed with respect to GER
tain phases of present distribution
methods in which these more or less
doubtful points are involved. In
order that an equitable, satisfactory
and proper distribution Of water
nay be had during the coming year
recourse to expensive and
ong drawn out litigation, 1t is
Necessary to arrive at some conclu-
,ion and formulate some basis of
operation covering these questions,

turn of a switch, and everybody in

like his neighbor. A Delco system
was operating in the basement.
In a village of a hundred people,
a thousand turned out to the dedica-
ton. The youngsters from the vari-
Gus sub-districts put on their shows,
and the maidens in the domestic
science rooms fed their elders dainty
hot things from the urns and tea
cups-convincing evidence that the
school could turn out" something.

Greetings:
1T is great disappointment to

only medium thru which we will be
able to solve our problems. 1t is
true the farm bureau has had crit
icism and perhaps justly so at times,
but no one in touch with the work
can justly say that we severed from
the plum line of rectitude. Our aim
has always been to build up, to
educate and to endeavor to solve the
farmers problems.
II trust that each Of you will re-
solve to do everything possible for
the advancement of this great work,

not continue to function as a farm

RESERVOIR NOTICE

On account of the exceptional ir
regularities in the boundary line
of the American Falls Irrigation
District it is quite probable tina
some land owners on the Aberdeen
Springfield system do not know as 6
certainty whether their lands are
within or without the district. Some
errors have necessarily crept into
the descriptions and caused the ex
clusiOn of lands whose owners
wanted to be included. On the
other hand errors may have caused
| the inclusion of lands that should
have been left out. Thsi office has
reliable information as to the exact
lands included and excluded and we
would suggest that anyone not
knowing positively that their lands
are in the desired status either call
at the office or communicate with
information.
Any changes that are to be made
should be taken care of Immediately
as it will be much more difficult to
either get lands included or ex-
Guided after the bond issue is voted
than it will prior to that time.
Probably there will be some who
have changed their minds and will
now desire to be included in the
district. This will not be impossible
before the bond issue, but even then
will entail some difficulties. We
have looked into the matter and find
the following procedure necessary
to get other lands into the district:
ho p{1 hx,
the owners of majority of the
acreage proposed to be annexed.
2. This petition must be presented
to the directors of the district. The
petitioners must advance sufficient
money to pay the estimated cost of
the proceedings necessary to allow
the annexation.
8. A notice of the petition must
be published for three weeks and
the directors must set a date for
hearing on the petition. At this
hearing any interested party may
make objection.
4. The directors may require the
petitioners to pay their proportion
of the cost of prior proceedings in
the formation Of the district.
5. After the hearing the directors
may or may not grant the petition.
If there is not single objection by
any interested party they may grant
the petition and annex the lands.
II there is a single director who
does not withdraw his objection the
director cannot annex the lands
calling an election.
e IF there are ObiectOrs the d.
rectors may decide to call an cleo
lion of the whole district and 1t re-
luires a majority of the votes cast
At the election in order to annex the
ands.
If here are those who wish to be
included in the district they can

might be made to hold

SOME IDAHO EDITORS MET

Last Friday and Saturday was the
date for meeting of southern
Idaho editors at Boise, 1t being a
custom to meet there about as often
as the legislature does. 1t affords
an unusual opportunity to get to
know each other and the leading
men of the state. We have no re-
port as to who attended the 1928
meeting or what they did, but it is
safe to say they met and visited and
talked shop and took the last trains
out when they had stayed away
from the printing Offices as long as
they could be spared.
Boise, Twin Falls, Nampa, Sho-
shone, Meridian, Pocatello and sew
eral other towns have editors who
stand out because Of their work or
the character of their writings.
Milo Thompson is the editor of
The Idaho Statesman, and to read
his writings is to receive a liberal
education in civil government and
many other things. He lays things
down according to high clean prin-
ciples, and points out safe and sane
paths to follow.
H. A. Lawson is editor of The
Capital News, and is putting the
best years of his life into the work.
He has a faculty that enables him
to go to a political gathering and
while mixing with the throng, to be
all the time well informed as to
what is doing and what is likely to
happen next. He seems able to take
the measure Of what is in mems
minds, and can dictate a dispatch of |
a paragraph or a column and chal-
lenge anybody to change it to make !
