DRAINAGE FOR
BOISE PROJECT
IS UNDER WAY
Drainage Committee Is
Urging Prompt A s.
sessments that Work
May Be Completed.

4 committee OF the Water Users
from the Deer Flat section investi-
gated the feasibility OF raising money
for drainage by issuing ard selling
bonds OF the Water Users Associa-
ton. and after a careful investigation
the committee concluded il was I'M
practicable to depend for drainage up
on funds from this source. Therefore.
the committee has suggested that the
Water Users request the Secretary OF
the Interior to require assessments
for drainage be paid The Board Of
Directors OF the Water Users Associa-
ton. OF which commissioner Brown
is President and c. r. Kollenborn is
Secretary. appointed a committee to
make an investigation OF the same
matter. and the committee appointed
from the Board OF Directors reached
substantially the same conclusion.
The Board at its meeting on April
23rd. 1923 adopted the report OF tn"
committee and recommended that the
Secretary OF the Interior grant no
extension of time for the payment e
the 1921 drainage assessments. and
also recommended that the first hall
half OF the 1922 assessments can be
required to be paid july 18th. OF this
year. and the assessments for drain
age for the year 1924. if necessary. b.
increased sufficient to carry out the
program for drainage as arranged by
the Reclamation Engineers. II is
found that there is approximately
SO. 10000 in the drainage fund At the
present time. and that there is $780,
10000 of the 1921 drainage assess
ments which will be paid within the |
next few days. This. it is thought by |!
the Engineers. will be sufficient to
carry out the present program until |
about September lst.. and il the first
half OF the 1922 assessments can be
collected and made available for use
by that time the program can be car
ried on until 1924 and by that time
the Secretary OF the Interior will be
able TO estimate the amount of assess
ments to be made for the year 1924.
There are at the present time two
planned to have another large dredge
IT work on the construction OF drain
lge canals on the Project. and it is
planned to have aoiher large dredge at
II work by the first OF July. There is
till fifty machine which can be Sc
'ured for use on the Project in the
after part of this year or BY the
BEGINNING OF next ycad in case i, is
bought advisable =

suggest that II be recommended TO
the Secretary Of the Interior that the
first half OF the 1922 charge for drain

July IS. 1923.
Tn view OF the fact that Congress
has passed a measure TO relieve those
who are unable TO pay their constru-
ction and operation and maintenance.
other than drainage. we believe that
an urgent request should be made to
all watcrusers that they pay their
drainage charge al once II the fund
is not then adequate It is recommend
ed that the Secretary OF the Interior
be requested to exercise his power
under the settlement in the case Of the
Payetie Boise Water Users Associa-

the drainage charge sufficiently TO
raise the amount which in his Judge

the state, the Republican candidate
made no attack upon that issue. We,
he carried the county by 1903 votes
over his nearest opponent who ran on
primary platform
Shortly after the election the Chris
tan Science Monitor published a dis
patch from Washington in which Sem
ator Borah summarized the results OF
the Idaho voting. That dispatch said
in part: 1T is understood that when
the legislature convenes a new primary
law will be Immediately introduced.
and that it will be passed before any
other legislative matters are taken up.
Mr.. Borah says that the pro-primary
Republicans and the Democrats are
strong enough TO pass such law over
the governors veto. The strategy to
be used II is said, will be to pass the
law and send it to the governor. Until
he signs it OF vetoes il. no other legis-
lation will be considered. The govern
or has quite long legislative program
which formed part OF his campaign
pledges. 1t will not be touched until
he has acted on the primary law and
has given the legislature a chance to
pass it over his veto"
There were sixty-two Republicans in
the legislature When primary law
was voted upon 20 of them were in IA
for OF it and SO were opposed. By the
aid OF the Democrats and Progressives |
it was passed but promptly vetoed by
the governor. So insistent were de-
mands from the people of the state
that the legislature take up the gov
ernor's program of economy, which
had been delayed IS days by the pri-
mary issue, that no attempt was made
70 pass the bill over his veto.
Economy Real Issue.
Governor Moore insisted at all times
hat the primary issue was only sec
'ndary TO the real problem OF getting
elief for the producers. In all his
messages he stressed economy as the
esl necessity.
With the people OF the state not in
crested in the primary as an issue and {
he majority OF the Republicans in !
ne legislature voting against il, the
uesuon has been relegaied to the past b

Executing Difficult Shots

An event of interest to all golf
lovers will be the showing of film
entitled Golf AS Played by Gene
Sarazen," at the Rylander theater
on Wednesday, Manager Herbert
Kinney stated today.
Golf AS Played by Gene Sara
zen," shows the former champion
playing some of the most difficult
shots, the proper and correct way
of getting out Of traps, the drive
putting in the rough, the clubs to
be used for different positions and
drives, the approach and the proper
grips. He shows the exact positions
to stand to secure the proper
strokes and results from drives. he
does some very clever work in tee
ing off, such as teeing of a mans
head, the old William Tell style,
teeing off an egg without touching
it and several other marvellous
drives.
All shots Of the noted expert are
demonstrated in regular and slow
motion photography.
in addition to the golf film the
Rylander will show its regular fea-
ture attraction for Wednesday,

FAMOUS STORY ON
SCREEN AT RYLANDER
THEATER WEDNESDAY

One of Fannie Hurst's noted sto-
ries, "The Nth Commandment"
said to be similar in appeal and
dramatic strength to the same az
thtr's "humore. rue" has been
screened by Paramount pictures
and will be shown at the Rylan-
der on Wednesday.
The story deals wlth department
store girl who marries a fellow
clerk who later develops an incur
able Hines. Told that her husband
will die unless he goes to the coun-
try for long stay, the unhappy
wife, all but penniless, resorts to
desperate methods to obtain the
mo9ey required. This development
is the expansion of the theme of the
picture-that there are other than
the Ten Commandments which men
and women must not violate.
The leading roles of the picture
are portrayed by Colleen Moore,
James M9rrlson and Eddie Phil
lips. In addition to "The Nth
Commandment" the Rylander has
feature that will prove most in
teresting to Americas at the pres
ent time. 1t is titled Golf AS
Played by Gene Sarazen," and
shows this noted expert in all phas-
es of the golf game in both regu-
lar and slow motion photography.
Today's attraction at the Rylan-
der is Gloria Swanson's Blue
boards 9Th Wife," and no picture
shown in Americas for months has
created more enthusiasm than did
this on its first showing Monday.
