to support the creation of the reser-
voir district. This organization will
probably remain intact and be
strengthened by the experience
gained during the past three weeks.
In charge of the planning are
group Of experts fully qualified to
steer a safe course in the legal
phases and technical sides of the
proposition. The vote of Tuesday
must be canvassed. The board or
directors must organize. A contract
must be drawn and signed by the
board of directors of the reservoir
district and the U. S. reclamation
service. A date must then be set
for the voting of bond election ana
on the day of election every resident
land owner will have an opportunity
to vote for the bonds and in favor OF
the contract. When the bond issue
carries it will be necessary to adver-
tise the bonds for sale and the bids
will have to be properly handled and
considered. men, and not until
then, will the money be available.
1t is thus apparent that, at most,
we are OtlC-IIAl u vi lilC way Low Oh u
our goal. The same thought and
application will be necessary to
carry the bond election as was
necessary to vote the district Clear
and accurate thinking will have to
be done by every land owner. The
benefits that will accrue, the cost,
the assessment of benefits, the cost,
the assessment of benefits, the status
of the canal companies, etc, will
again be the same important sub
iects that they were during the re-
cent election.
The same cooperative effort, the
same unity of action and the same
sacrifice of time, money and effort
will be needed for many weeks, dur
ing which time we can well afford
to forget a great many things about
American Falls as city and our
selves as individuals

Stockman Makes Suggestion
John Hutchinson, farmer and
stockman, who lives at the edge of
the proposed reservoir at Sterling,
says he thinks the presence of a
large body of water during the
spring months will moisten and
temper the atmosphere and keep off
much of the late spring frost that
damages tender crops.
Mr.. Hutchinson cites the influence
of the lakes on the Michigan peaches
and the influence of prevailing
winds in the country about Brigham
City, where peaches and other fruits
flourish so well, and he expresses
the hope that district adjoining the
new reservoir will enjoy some
climatic advantages.

wanted to take it away from her and
divide it among them, giving the
officer $1,000 of it for his share. He
declined the offer, the woman was
cleared and set free and was sent on
her way rejoicing.
The railroad was wide gauge thru
Pocatello east and west, but narrow
gauge north and south, so they in
stalled machinery to lift car and
hold it while different trucks were
placed under it, and then it could

In the present hard times it is in
teresting to everybody to note who
fails and who does not. Especially
is it interesting to note what are
our own individual chances to sue
coed and how the prospect varies at
different stages of the game.
In some communities banks fail
and it throws a blight over all the
others In other communities the
only failures are firms or places do
ing nonessential things such as
cleaning and pressing parlors, and
vendors of things that people can
get along without. When the nom
essential places close up and stay
closed, the community does not feel
the jolt, tho the individual does.
Every day we hear how or why
somebody failed, and the reasons
are given as money shortage, dull
times, lack of capital and various
others. Brandstreet's system analyses
the causes of failure by a set of cold
calculation based on close scrutiny
of each case and for 1922 the causes
of business failures are recorded as
follows:

Alexandria.

There are few cities that can look
back to past like that of Alexandria,
and fewer still with such past that
can contrive to keep up with the times
and look forward to the future. The
relics Of % dead centuries of Alex
anArian history have to be looked for
in the guide books. In the city itself
they are covered up by the latest mod
ern improvements. A few erudite
Alexandrians may argue about the real
nationality of Cleopatra, but most Of
them are talking about the price Of
cotton and the latest project for dredg-
ing the harbor.

The first five are branded as need
less failures that we'll rounded
training or preparation would pre-
vent. Men should not go into any
training in some form for the VEN
ture. They should not hazard their
own interests or the interests of
others by going in blindly. Reason
able training would prevent them
from going into business with too
little capital, and none but fool
launches into fraud and calls it
business. 1t destroys him sooner or
later.
