ROAD CONSTRUCTION NEWS

Construction work on the road
between Blackfoot and Shelley will
not be finished until about August,
according to the contractors, and the
public is requested to observe the
detour signs and not be breaking
thru into the unfinished sections.
Construction work in its prelimin-
airy phases is in progress in the pave
ment between Blackfoot and Glib
son, the detours are being prepared,
the tests for the gravel pits made,
and everything put in shape to push
construction when once the road is
broken up. 1t will take all summer
and fall to complete this section. :
The graded roads throughout the
county that were built several years
ago have become well packed and
there has been but very little to do
on them this year. Now that they
are in good form and hard, the spring
thaw does not soften them much,
and there is not the rutting there
was before.

NEW KIND OF STREET LIGHTING

William Miller started street
lighting on new plan last Friday
as he enered town in his car. The
feed pipe broke off and allowed the
gasoline to spill on the hot engine
and stream of flame ran back thru
the car This happned at about one
hundred south Broadway and Mr..
Miller began looking for place to
park it. There was a row of cars
on each side of the street but he
coasted nearly a block and landed
it in an opening near D. P. Brill's
office with only a Ford car near
enough to be in danger, and this Mr..
Miller and bystander removed.
Mrs. Miller and the children got
out and retired some distance and
the f1remen arrived with chemicals
and saved the car, with only slight
damage to it. 1t was a Maxwell car
and the gas tank was at the front
of the body where the flames played
against it, but there was no explo-
sion.

| the basis for the wealth OF southern
Idaho for a thousand years. Fol
lowing this acquisition of undisputed
title to the waters of Snake river
there followed the development OF
the Twin Falls tract, the Twin Falls
northside tract and the Minidoka
tract, together with the general de-
yelopment of the rest of the valley
based on the water service of sixty
or seventy canals. Then followed
the development of the first or bot
tom Jackson Lake Reservoir by the
construction of a small dam, and
that in turn was replaced by the
great concrete structure which now
forms Jackson Lake. The waters of
the first or bottom layer of the lake
have repeatedly sold for enough each
year to pay the original cost of con-
struction, and the second and third
layers of the lake have been very
profitable Men who declined to
take stock in the original construc-
ton enterprise by which they could
pay a dollar an acre for perpetual
water rights in the reservoir have
since paid a dollar year rental for
the water or purchased 1t at prices
ranging from six to eight dollars per
acre. e,.f

Eastern Idaho Reclamation Projects
A BUSINESS OPENING

. At the formal opening of the new
office of the Idaho Power company
last Saturday, about twelve hundred
people responded and visited over the
features Of the new stock of electrical
goods. A supply of 500 beautiful
roses was given to the ladies and
they ran out of them before the day
was over. 4-
Toy balloons were given to the
children and biscuits and coffee were
served to all adults. The local office
force were assisted by Manager D. c.
Brown of the Pocatello office, Mrs
Brown, Mr.. and Mrs. A. l.. Morgan,
Mrs. E. c. Terry and Mrs L. w.
Brainard, all Of the Pocatello office.
A part of the work of the day was
to show the electrical goods, espec-
tally the washers and ironers, and
the electric ranges, and to gather in
formation from them as to their.
needs and interest in such goods.
Each lady filled out a short question
aire on a card, checking the cleo
trical articles she was interested in,
and this enables the salespeople to
go to each one with more complete
information concerning the articles
of special interest.
Prizes were awarded to two of the
visitors, Mrs. Grover Nygard receiv-
ing beautiful electric percolator
and Mrs. L. E. Winchell an electric
toaster.
The office was arranged with an
attractive display of things electri-
cal and new lamp shade and re-
Hector for diffusing the light in equal
subdued brilliancy thruout a large
room was one of the attractive fea-
lures of those who study thoro light
ing. There are three of these new
creations in use for lighting the large
office, and SO far as they have been
tested, they seem to fill all the re-
quirements for delivering the light
equally well all over the room from
ceiling to floor, and to be more nearly
dust proof than any other kind of
reflector yet devised. In this climate
where dust falling into a reflector
and cutting of the light is such
large factor, one that automatically
keeps 1t out appeals to the people
who are interested in getting hun
dred per cent efficiency out of their
all the time.
When electric cooking was intro
duced by this company few years ,
ago there was q timidity about using
1t on account Of the danger supposed ,
to be connected with 1t, tho at that
time people used kerosene and gaso- ,
line burners with little fear, each {
now to be quite danger-tt |
GUS as compared with electricity. s
The average woman whose house is
wired for range, water heater, ironer {
and waffle irons, goes about her work 3
with feeling of security that was t
not present when explosives were c
relied on for heat, and when a dem, a
onstration of these things of progress t
s put on, it deservedly meets with a a
hearty response. Y

Three Reclamation Projects
The projects we shall deal will
In this article are the American
Falls Reservoir and the districts af
fected by. it, the Fort Hall Projec
and the Greater Fort Hall Project
The American Falls Reservoir is
to be made to furnish water rights
or supplemental water rights both
above and below the reservoir as fal
up the valley as Idaho Falls and as
far down the valley as Bull and
Mountain Home and possibly in
Owyhee county. The means by
which the American Falls Reservoir
can furnish water to farms on the
river higher up the valley and in
other valleys higher than the reser-
voir is by an exchange of water
rights thru the other two projects
dealt with in this article
Exchange Stored Water
People living in the lower valley,
the Twin Falls country, own stored
water in the Jackson Lake Reservoir
south of Yellowstone Park in Wy
oming and will exchange it for stored
water in the American Falls reser-
voir; will trade with people who
want to use water above the reser-
voir.
People living in the Empire Irri-
cation District in the Bancroft coun-
try in the Portneuf valley and Bear
River Valley will help build the Am
srican Falls Reservoir and will be-
come the owners of. water in it and
will exchange that for water In the
BlackfoOt reservoir. This latter
trade will be made with farmers
living on the reservation and other
.Mcts on the lower part of what is,
Known as the Fort Hall Project and
he Greater Fort Hall Project. These
people own water in the BaIckfootI
eservoir but are willing to receive
he water from Jackson Lake in lieu
Il the water in the Blackfoot reser-
DIR, the reason for exchange being |
he fact that only the water in the
3lackfoot reservoir can be used for
irrigation in the Empire Irrigation
District near Bancroft.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2.-Trading in cotton today was attended by the widest advances in months, all positions rising the full limit of 200 points, or S1O bale from the lowest, this being the first time this season that the cotton exchange has been obliged to invoke it's ruls limiting fluctuations in any one session to ? cents pound. The governments indicated crop figures of 10,24S, 900 bales were all together smaller than expected and com pletely controlled the market after 10 o'clock, the time of their issuance
 immediately following the bureau re- port there were gains of aoout 65 points then breathing spell followed further gains of about 60 points and then the market settled down into a steady up- ward movement which continued to the close. In the last half hour of the session limits commenced to be reached and ali months traded we'll above S1c a pound and at new high record prices for the season. December rose to 31.S0c and July the most distant active month, to 31.10c All months closed at the top. the official tone on the close being strong at maxi mum bids. The net change for the day was gain of 175 to 1So points

COTTON SCARS ON
 FEDERAL REPORT

NEW YORK, Nov. Zone, of the most rapid and excited advances m the annals of the cotton market fol- lowed the publication of the govern ment's crop report this morning. It was checked only by the application of the maximum fluctuations rule, which took effect at the price of 31.60c for January contracts, com pared with 29.60c. the low point touched before the report was issued. This, of course, made the full per- mitted advance of 200 points and yesterdays closing quotation on that position. There was large busi- ness at the maximum figures, and the market closed at the best levels of the day with the tone strong at a net advance of 162 to 1S4 points.
 There was considerable liquidation before the report was issued. The market opened steady at a decline of points on August. but generally unchanged tc IS points higher in relatively firm cables and reports of continued wet weather in the south west The buying on these features was quickly supplied by prereport liquidation, and there may have been some scattered selling on belief that bullish crop figures had been discounted. At any rate the market weakened and shortly before the re- port showed net losses of about 20 to 3S points with December selling at S0.2Sc and March at 29.65c.
 The crop indication of 10,24S, 900 bales was not far out of line with the average of recent private re- ports, but 1t was evidently under general trade expectations and at any rate was regarded as confirm ing bullish ideas of the yield. Prices immediately shot upward and before there was any halt in the advance showed net gains of about 140 to 150 points. There was enough realizing to cause reactions of Is or 20 points during the middle of the day, but heavy offerings were absorbed by a steady broadening demand as the crop figures gained wider circula- tion. This dominated the mark ct during the entire afternoon and for fully an hour the market held right up to the price limits with many con- tracts changing hands at 322Sc for December and 31.65c for March. Port receipts today, 35,92S. United States port stocks, 733,793. Exports, 5,S99, making 1,S10,S04 so far this season
