No persons except a few French sem
tries can be seen outside the cities and
villages.
In connection with the stories told by
these Americans, an official report on
the coal situation made by the German
foreign office is interesting. 1t reads,
in part:
Before the French invasion Ger
many and Belgium or one train averag-
ing 40 heavily loaded freight cars every
2S minutes. Since the occupation, how
ever. only three short coal trains have
left the Ruhr district for France, or one
train every third day"
WOrkmen Skeptical OF Reward.
Among the working people in the
Ruhr district, especially the miners. the
point has been raised in the last day or
two whether it is really worth while to
k D up their present resistance. What
are we, the Ruhr miners and other
workers, going to get out OF all thisF'
is the question asked by Albert Eaiken-
beg, secretary of the Miners Fedora
ton. "All of us who did our duty in
the war every day despite the blockade
and the gnawing hunger are still IN
training to go through the same expert
ence again. W nat We want " NM" 10
whether we will get the reward that is
coming to us or whether the only thing
" will get out of this is patting on the
back? The present government may
mean well enough but soon another gov
ernment will have replaced it and then
very likely our present heroic attitude
will be forgotten
Herman Pachnicke, former vice pres
ident of the Reichstag, also takes a
pessimistic view when he writes in the
Berlin National Zeitung that Germany
must be prepared for a long and emolt'
tered war of passive, resistance, against
France. He declares that the Ruhr oc-
cupation will last well into next year
because Premier POincare. is basing his
campaign for reelection on its sue
cess.
IF Germany is able to get enough
money and credits abroad she is sure to
win out long before Christmas and then

Berlin Schools Close

Berlin, Feb. 1O.-Thrce hundred
and thirty-five public schools were
closed in Berlin today, but last
night more than six thousand
saloons, bars, gambling dens and
public amusement places in the Ger
man capital were still going strong.
In other words while there is not
coal enough for thousands of school
children, there is more than enough
for the nOn-essential night places.
This comparison throws a signifi-
capt light on present day Germany.

RESERVATION NEWS

Work of the dredges continues on
the government projects, one being
at work on the enlargement of
laterals on the reservation, one
finishing the enlarging of the Idaho
canal, and one is at work cutting the
trench in the Blackfoot dam in which
the concrete core Is to be built to
make the dam stronger and higher.
On account of the difficulty of get
ting and keeping laborers, the gov
eminent is making use of the
dredges for all the work that is suit
able for them. The work of build
ing the big dykes to shut out the
water from the leaks near the head
of the storage reservoir, will be done
with the dredge, scoOping up earth
by the side of the dyke-to-be.
The Blackfoot dam as first con-
structed was forty-two feet high, and
made of loose lava rock with a mass
of mud sluiced in on the upper side
to hold the water. The soil so used
contained three-Quarters of l per
cent alkali and some magnesia, and
as the water was drawn off of the
reservoir in summer, it left this mass
of mud exposed to the sun and it
dried out and baked and shrunk. The
alkali and magnesia have the effect
of swelling it, and as it dried, the
shrinkage resulted in large cracks
that followed down as the water
level sunk. These cracks did not
fill up again as the water line rose in
the fall and winter, but the water
ran thru the cracks to the loose
rocks and washed the cracks larger,
carrying the mud right thru the
loose lava rocks into the bed of the
river below the dam. In this way
the mud bank became defective and
the dam itself was in danger of be-
ing washed away. Rock and earth
were dumped in, but owing to the
small outlet provided for drawing off
the water, it could not be drained
quickly to relieve the pressure. The
leak was at its worst in the summer
Of 1913 and 1t has never been con-
sidered very safe since that time.
The present work is to cut a

rock work. blast the trench two feet

ROUNDUP FOR BLACKFooT

Messrs. F. e. Seeger, Ralph Dixie
and Ezra Fjelsted have engaged with
the county commissioners for the
use of the fair grounds for roundup
and sport program next month, and
we understand the farm bureau has
under consideration, the matter of
exhibiting some products of the boys
and girls clubs and perhaps other
things.
1t Is likely that quite a delegation
will go from Blackfoot, possibly a
body from the Commercial club, to
visit the upper valleys and take in
the roundup and stockmen's conven-
ton at Henry on August 16 as a re-
turn call to those people and to be-
come better acquainted with the
country and the sites of the reclama-
ton work now under construction
and in prospect. A trip thru
Wolverine, Willow Creek, Grays'
Lake, to Henry, around by the Leaks
and the dam and home via the site
of the diversion dam on the Black
foot, the great siphon on the head
waters of the Portneuf, the two-mile
tunnel at Danilson's pass, and the
power site in the Ross Fork canyon
are all physical features that should
be studied by men living and doing
business in the town that is head
quarters for the local reclamation
projects.

ROUNDUP AT HENRY

Programs are out announcing the
events of the Henry Stampede and
Stockmen's reunion that will be held
at Henry August 16-17-18. This will
be the third annual wild west show
to be held at Henry, Idaho and many
thrilling stunts have been added to
the program. The purses for the
bucking, roping and racing total
more than $500.
More than forty famous bucking
horses from western Idaho and
Wyoming are being entered and
these with the many local horses will
give the riders plenty of material to
work on. This remuda includes
Grave Digger, Man Killer, Hell-to-
Ride, Undertaker's Pet, Dry-Farm-
Annie, Red Wing, Lava Bell, Sevena
and many others. Some of the most
notable riders in the country have
entered already and it is evident that
there will be the greatest collection
of American, Spanish and Indian
brQncho busters ever assembled in
this part of the country.
The racing card offers many fast
horse and novelty races and also
features Roman and chariot races In
each days program. Entries of race
horses have been received from
Utah, Idaho and Wyoming.
Bannock and Shoshone Indians
many of which worked In the great
Paramount picture "The Covered
Wagon" will enter all contests and
add special features to the program.
This makes the hundredth ami
versary of the coming of the men
of the mountains as the trappers
were called who came into that
region in 1823-Jim Bridger
Walker, John Day and the rest of
that first big installment of explor-
ers. 1t is the one hundred fifth an
niversary of the coming of the Nc
Kenzie party that named the Indians
the Blackfeet, and 112 years since
the Astor-Hunt party passed that
way on their way back to the states.

THE ASYLUM FARM

Two years ago the asylum board
decided to get scientific farmer tt
take charge of production on thu
asylum farm and garden, and as thu
president of the university and the
others active in the agricultural ex
tension work were telling the people
of the state what wonderful lot Of
aguricult6rists they were turning
out under the new system of educa-
ton, the board decided to put 1t W
to that department to find scienti-
fic farmer to come to Blackfoot and
furnish the headwork for the state
institution.
After due consideration of all the
available men they selected a young
man and gave him their stamp OF
approval. He looked over the situa-
ton and decided to accept the call
and was put in charge for 1922
under the direction of DR.. Hoover,
the medical superintendent.
The 1922 crop was very good but
the board criticised the doctor for
being out around the farm too much,
when in their judgment, he should
have been inside. At the close of
the 1922 operations they made a
division Of the duties and directed
that all things pertaining to the farm
and garden should be under the
management of the farmer, and that
the medical superintendent should
have nothing to do with it excepting
to inherit the produce for use in the
institution, or something to that eff
feet. That put the entire RESPONSE
bility upon the farmer, and this Of
flee is looking forward to the report
of the 1928 crops to see how much
money Is being expended for labor
and how much is the production.
The editor of The Republican has
looked over the farm and garden,
and finds the meadows in apparently
good condition, with the second crop
Of hay showing thoro watering and
good growth. The grain crop is
fairly good, most of the corn is in
good condition, and the potato field
Is spotted, there being a poor stand
and some of it badly irrigated, and
promise of low production.
The garden is both good and poor,
to where one looks. The
stand of some of the vegetables is
spotted, some of 1t is kept in good
condition as to cultivation and
weeds, and some blocks of 1t seem
abandoned to a mass crop of weeds,
sufficient to swamp the whole area
text year If allowed to mature.
Our knowledge of the cost and eff
iciency Of the field operations is too
neager to be of any value, but we
commend 1t to the consideration of
he board of directors when they
um up the years operations and
ee what they have parted with in
Expense money and what they have
q returns. If the garden is being
andled with less expense than
sual we suggest that it may be
retty expensive economy when they
ct the mass of weeds start to travel
1g from the central area where they
re starting to ripen. If the expense
Or help Is about normal, then we
hould like to remark that it would
e exceedingly humiliating to DR..
pham, the president of the univer-
ty and his advisers to see in what
rection the management is drifting
nee it is left entirely to the scienti-
C farmer.

GRASSHOPPERS HAVE WORMS

j. L. Jones, who lives west of
Moreland, reports the grasshoppers
suffering from troubles of their own
and a great epidemic retiring them
from active careers by the millions.
He says they lie dead in masses at
some distance from the areas where
tehy have been poisoned, and his
first conclusion was that they had
eaten poison and travelled on to their
death, but on making examination
of their bodies he finds each one
storing a tiny white worm or mag
got big enough to Justify the death

hoppers, leaving an egg that matches
quickly into a worm, and he hopes
these flies are coming into their own.

BACK FROM THE COAST

The Misses Lucille Park, Mary
Leatherwood and Mabel Bartlett are
back from two months visit at Port
land, Tacoma and Seattle and have
gone to Yellowstone park, in COM
pany with Miss Parks parents and
some Idaho Falls parties.
They report having had most
enjoyable summer, and witnessed
the parade of the $50 floats st the
Rose carnival. One which especially
challenged their admiration was a
Pullman palace coach entirely
covered with roses in color, and all
lettering and numbers on the car
done in white roses. They were at
Seattle and Tacoma when the big
supper pageants were put on, and
enjoyed them exceedingly.
The Park family are visiting at
Anaconda before going thru the
park, and were slated to meet at the
entrance.
