INVESTIGATING CHOLERA

Dr. w. E. Dood, federal veterinar-
ian from Boise, spent three days in
the Moreland country recently, in
vestigating what was thought to be
hog cholera, but did not find any. He
made tests in the herds of Ed Kerwin
and X. Reay, where some hogs had
died, but decided that the loss was
due to some other cause.
If symptoms appear the informa-
ton should be sent to the state or
federal bureau of animal industry at
Boise and somebody will be detailed
to investigate and combat the
trouble.

MRS. HARDING GOES
BACK TO CAPITAL

On the train that bore her hus-
bands body across the continent
from San Francisco and then to
Marion for burial Friday, Mrs. Hard
ing returned to Washington the fol-
lowing day to pack up her personal
belongings at the White House and
to arrange for, her final departure
from the capitol.
AS the train which will have a
place in history by virtue of the
momentous journey it had travelled
approached Washington to be broken
up finally for other uses, the widow
of the president called to her state
room every member Of the party
which had made the pilgrimage to
Alaska and back, and thanked each
one individually for remaining with
her until the end" She appeared
still to be bearing up. courageously
after the previous days ordeal in
Marion.
She was driven directly to the
White House, where it was said that
only few days would be required
for her to finally close out her at
fairs there and take leave of the
mansion.
At the White House waiting to re-
ceive her when she arrived was Mrs
Coolidge, who had reached Washing
ton short time before from Marion.
The new first lady of the land in
sisted that Mrs. Harding remain as
long as she desired. After a short
visit, Mrs. Coolidge returned to her
hotel suite in the New Willard, and
Mrs. Harding made known her in
tention to receive no other callers
during the day, but to spend much
of the time resting

FIRE LOSS AvERTED

On Sunday evening an employee
of the Van Orden Garage discovered
a dense smoke in the office of the
Bingham County News, and promptly
found entrance and hunted for the
seat of fire. He found mop stood
in corner Of the room giving on
curl of smoke and when he had
chucked 1t into bucket of water
the trouble was over.
The fire company responded to the
alarm, but they did not throw any
water.

SUGAR BEET NEWS

Long Island, State of New York
has us all beaten for raising sugar
beets. The woody west Is no longer
the champion for tonnage or fol
sugar content since Long Island has
gone into the game. They have the
world beaten, according to the ne
ports now given out by experts, who
have been testing their beets for
several years.
For ten years they have been try
ing to see what they could do, and
they planted their beets about as we
did in Idaho twenty years ago and
raise an average of twenty-eight
tons per acre, with sugar content
of 20.3 per cent and juice purity of
90.5 per cent in the year 1920, with
maximum yield of thirty-five tons
per acre and maximum purity of
91.7 per cent.
In the year 1921 somebody offered
a prize of $50 for the best sugar
yield on an acre and the winner
turned out 1867 pounds of refined
sugar.
There is no sugar factory on the
island, and they are using their beets
to feed the chickens and other fowls.
there being quite a poultry industry
on the island to supply little old New
York, the value of beets for this pur-
pose ranging from $40 to SIG a ton.
Contrary to the general belief,
Long Island has great deal of land
that is not under cultivation, and
that has only recently
been subdued. 1t is only slightly
above sea level, and the sea breeze
tempers the climate SO that whether
It rains or not, the humid atmosphere
keeps the crops growing steadily and
they do not have the checks in /
growth that we do here, for there are
hot days when for few hours there
Is not enough moisture to carry on
proper chemical action and growth is
checked. The Long Island farmers
have been looking upon the beet
situation in the spirit of sport as
we'll as business, and have had their
,wn fun over the spectacle of the :
Scott caravan leaving Brooklyn and
coming to Idaho to raise beets and
other truck by irrigation where our
lverage yield is only about dozen
ons and the price IS or Sc ton.
1t would seem more logical for
Scott to organize colony in Idaho
o go to Long Island to drain some
# their swamp lands to raise beets
It that big yield, high percentage
md high market price.

DUBOIS PROJECT REVIVED

The Idaho Reclamation associa'
ton, thru Its managing director
Guy F1enner, has issued the follow
ing bulletin relative to the Dubois
project:
"This association has continued
to the best of its ability, its investi-
CATION of the Dubois project and the
possibilities OF securing water there
for. The importance of the project,
not only to the upper Snake river
valley, but to Idaho, is so manifest
and so large as to justify every eff
fort to bring 1t to a successful
contamination.
1.-THE project embraces a wonder
full body of land, roughly 100000
acres susceptible to irrigation in two
units, one from Island Park and the
other from Jackson Lake thru a
trade of storage water rights from
the American Falls reservoir to
Jackson lake. These units are about
equal as to erea.
"Our investigation leaves some
doubt as to immediate results re-
speeding the Island Park storage be-
ing applied to one of the 100000
acre units. The difficulty about
Island Park storage is that 1t may
be delayed as a new project until ap-
proved projects, such as the Amerf-
can Falls, are completed.
ut is our belief that the Dubois
project can be, as it should be, made
part of the American Falls develop
ment to the extent, at least, of one
of these units. The existing con-
tract calls for q 100000 acre foot
reservoir at American Falls, with
with estimates of additions to ap-l
proximate the 100000 acre foot
unit. The Dubois project was con-
templated as part OF that absorption
of American Falls storage above the
100000 acre feet.
ut is our opinion, and our hope,
that every effort will be put forth to
secure enough water from American
Falls for one unit of the Dubois pro-
ject; and we believe it can be done
with proper cooperation.
1--WE believe both the Dubois units
feasible, but the existing conditions
argue strongly for concentrating ef-
fort at this time on the unit that can
be served from Jackson Lake.
while we do not desire to I'M
July raise popular hopes, we do not
lesitate to state that the outlook
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1923-08-23

for at least one unit OF the Dubois
project is very good.
III the Dubois project can be tied
into the American Falls reservoir, 1t
should mean participation by it in
American Falls allotments.
1.-THE people of the entire upper
Snake river valley should get behind
this important development. Unity
on the part of those people will have
distinct bearing at this time. And
1t should be exhibited at once"

RABBIT SKINS
CLASSED AS
TEXTILES
Commerce Report Shows That
Australian Shipments Are
Falling Off

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court, made a few years
ago, that cloth is not clothing
seems to have been overlooked by
the United States Department of
Commerce which, in a report just
made, classifies rabbit skins as
textiles.
The report. which deals with
hemp, silk. cotton, piassava fiber
and other textiles, says that
Australia's exports of rabbit skins
amounted to $3,82S,848 in 1922, as
compared with $4,742,927 in 1921,
and q maximum Of $17.847 1856 in
1920, of which the United States
and the United Kingdom are the
principal buyers.
The report does not indicate just
why the decrease in exports has
taken place; whether the rabbits
have learned to keep out Of the
way Of the dogs and gunners, or
whether the dogs have become lazy
or lost zest in the sport of running
four or five miles to catch a measly
rabbit, or whether the gunners have
run short of ammunition, or what
not.
However that may be, the report
seems to indicate that henceforth
rabbit skins is textiles"

PURITY BUMPER
HEE HAWED
At BEACH
Even Mothers Laugh at New
Device to Reform
Dancing.

After all of the railing against
the indecency of the modern dance'
the purity bumper"-device en-
abling couples to dance without
utterly losing their souls-arrives in
the pose of terpsichorean savior
only to get the loud and boisterous
horse laugh.
The purity bumper, which orlgl'
mated in Paris, made its American
debut yesterday at Chesapeake
Beach. 1t received a torrent OF
ridicule and it's sponsors, blushing
under the wave of guffaWlng, mace
n hasty exit without so much as
divulging their names. Gray-halred
mothers, who doubtless have been
most solicitious about publication OF
the dance. were most boisterous in
hee-hawing the purity bumper.
Unlike the Partisan creation,
which consisted of three padded
prongs that poked the male dancer
in the ribs whenever he got too
close to his partner, the contrap-
ton introduced at the Beach rather
reSembled an automobile bumper.
1t consisted of two padded barrel
hoops, covered with lavender color
cd silk.
One hoop fits around the girls
waist tight, and is fastened at the
back with a filigreed metal buckle.
The second hoop is attached to the
girdle hoop and protrudes Nat the
front four inches in ellipticaf
fashion.
