WASHBURN & WILSON SHIP
MUCH CERTIFIED seed

The Washburn & Wilson Seed
company of this city has shipped 80
cars OF certified seed potatoes, the
greater part of which were produced,
in Latah county, to the growers in
the Yakima valley. F. l.. Kinnard of
the local company, has just returned
from the Yakima valley, where he
was looking after the distribution of
the final shipments.
The potatoes were grown by far
mers in this district under contract,
and potato growers in the irrigated
districts are coming to realize that
no choicer seed can be obtained than
that produced in the Palouse country.
1t is expected that the shipments
from here next season will be in ex-
cess of this season.
Mr. Kinnard states that conditions
in the Yakima valley are improving,
the growers finding fair market now
for their commercial potatoes. Thou
sands of tons are held in cold stor-
age for the late market, which pro-
misses to be better this season than
ordinary, owing to the fact that the
acreage of early potatoes is small and
the prospects poor. Last years po-
tatoes can be kept perfectly in cold
storage until we'll along in July

tra1 Idaho and eastern Washington
section.
Not only was Mr.. Jordan splen-
did type of citizen, but he was a man
devoted very much to home life, and
he and Mrs. Jordan enjoyed very
very much to have gatherings at their

Big IRRIGATION
PROJECT ASSURED
TWIN FALLS LAND OWNERS PASS
BONDS ASSURING $10,OO0,0O0
GOVERNMENT UNDERTAKING

Southern Idaho was jubilant Sat-
urday night and Sunday over the sue
cessful passage by land owners Of
the Snake river valley of the Ameri-
can Falls irrigation districts $2,750,-
900 bond issue for the purchase of
storage water rights at an election
Saturday, which made certain the con-
struction by the United States re-
clamation service of the American
Falls reservoir at American Falls, to
be built at an estimated cost of $10,-
10000, and to impound 100000 acre
feet of Snake river waters.
The bond issue, authorized by the
land owners, provides for the par
chase of supplemental water rights
in the reservoir, which will impound
much greater quantity to provide
supplemental rights for establishing
government reclamation projects and
for reclamation of arid lands in SOU
thern Idaho.
One of Worlds Largest
Completion of the American Falls
project, which will be one of the
largest in the world, and which will
necessitate the entire removal of the
city of American Falls to higher
ground, has been held in allegiance by
the reclamation service for almost
three years, pending working out OF a
plan by which the irrigation projects
might meet their payments for i'm
pounded water. $1,000,000 is avail
able for immediate work, and addi-
tional appropriations have been made
by congress for the undertaking,
which will inundate $4,000 acres of
land.
Only three comparable reservoirs
exist in the world to the proposed
project, which will have capacity
of 3,000,0 900 acre feet, one being on
the Euphrates, one on the Nile, and
the one created by the Gatun dam at
Panama.
Hold Celebration
The passage of the bond issue
which assures the government of the
support of the land owners of the
district, was celebrated throughout
southern Idaho, large caravan of
Boise people going to Twin Falls,
where the election was held, early in
the day to join in the celebration
The Twin Falls section of the
country is soon to be given direct
railway connection with the Pacific
coast through the construction by
the Union Pacific railway company
of a branch line from Rogerson to
Wells, Nevada, making connection
with the Southern Pacific and Wes-
tern Pacific railways there.

FORMER MOSCOW SCHOOL
MAN is HONORED

After making careful survey of
the United States for a man especi-
ally qualified for the position of field
secretary and member of the exc
cutive staff of the American Child
association, one of the most literally
financed organizations of like ma
ture in the United States, T. B. Shank,
superintendent of Coeur d'Alene
schools, was selected.
Mr.. Shank possesses the qualifica-
tions necessary for this important
position. He will place his heart and
soul in the work the same as he has
in the school work in this and other
cities. He possesses personality
which will enable him to do effective
work in his new line.
Coeur d'Alene was fortunate in Sc
curing man of Mr.. Shank's qualifica-
tions at such critical time in school
history, and it would be selfish to
hold him here when he has the op-
portunity to engage in such enlarged
activities in elevating the standard the
of the country.-Coeur

PRESIDENT WILL REAFFIRM
WORLD COURT VIEWS IN
OPENING ADDRESS

shlngton-Having virtually de-
*cided on the itinerary of his western
"trip, President Harding has begun to
give considerable thought to the ad-
dresses he will make enrOute to the
Pacific coast and in the coast cities.
The itinerary as arranged provides
for speeches in about IL cities, the
first in ST, Louis and the last prob
ably in San Diego, Cal.
World Court Reaffirmed
The initial address in St. Louis, it
lis understood, will be of a general
nature, somewhat of preface to the
Others to come, but devoted in the
smain to presentation of the presi-
dents view, on the proposal of Ameri-
can membership in the permanent
court of international justice. Pass
ing on to Kansas City the president,
according to some of his advisers,
will speak upon the transportation
problem. In this address it is con-
sidered likely Mr.. Harding will OUT
line, at least in a preliminary way,
the recommendations he will make to
congress next December
The president also will discuss
water transportation, phase of the
transportation question which was
discussed by him with Representative
Newton of Missouri, republican
member of the house.
The next address will be made at
Hutchinson, Kan, and from present
indications will be devoted to the gen.
eral agricultural question, the presi-
dent outlined what his administra-
tfOn has done for the farmers with
particular mention of credits legisla-
tfon and the FOrdney- -McCumber tar
if.
Talk to Interest Localities
Addresses to be made at Denver,
Salt Lake, Boise, Idaho, and Helena,
Mont, likewise will be upon subjects
OF particular interest to those COM
munities AS for Seattle, some of
those who have talked recently with
the president understand he desires
to announce in that city his new policy
for Alaska as based on observations
made during the more than two
weeks He will spend there. This is
contingent, however, on whether he
returns to that city after his Alaskan
trip or lands at Portland, Ore. In
the latter case, the Alaskan address
will be made at Portland
One of the addresses contemplated
by the executive will deal with the
results of the arms conference, and
he is@said to feel that the logical
place for such speech would be a

ing deeply interested in the four power
