per cent and that the warrants which
they are expected to take up bear
per cent interest. The whole ques-

vote the bonds and pay over a long
period OF time at a low rate of inter
est. or pay off this indebtedness with
in the next two years by means of a
high tax levy' There is no other al

FLAT Shy
ON WATER, MAY
BE FULL soon
Tallman Believes B G
Reservoir will Quick
ly Reach Capacity.

While Deer Flat reservoir, accord
ing to readings OF Tuesday, April 5.
had less water than has been stored
there on that date since 1918, a. V.
Tallman. Boise project water master,
in a letter to l.. ]. Magee, secretary
of the Payette-Boise water users as
sociation. confidently predicts that be-
fore the end of April. the big storage
reservoir will be full About 10000
acre feet remains to be run into the
reservoir before it will reach its ca
pacity.
When the New York canal and 9TH
er feeders are pouring water into Deer
Flat. the supply accumulates at the
rate of about 1000 acre feet per day.
That means 10 days at capacity How
without taking any water out to hll
the reservoir.
Canals this week are slowly being
filled with water. Gopher holes are
said to be bad but the early part OF
next week is expected to find them
in shape for capacity flows In this
event the water that can be turned IN
10 Deer Flat will not reach the 4OOO
acre feet capacity per day even ex-
cluding the out-take for lands below
the reservoir.
Whether the Deer Flat reservoir IS
filled to capacity in short order de-
pcnds. Mr.. Magce believes, on the
type of spring weather Continued
drouth which will necessitate heavy
applications OF irrigation water may
make it impossible to fill the reservoir
to capacity. Mr.. Tallman, however
is more optimistic. believing that the
end of April will find the reservoir
full 1t can be done in that time, he
points out, by adding only 400 acre
feet daily to the amount already stored
there. With irrigation using the max
imum amount of water on land above
the reservoir. about 500 acre feet can
be delivered daily to the reservoir.
OF the situation at Arrow Rock. Mr..
Magee knows nothing Only a short
run-off period is normally required
however, to fill that big reservoir.
Prospects are bright. according to
information reaching Mr.. Magce's Of
fee. for a long run-off season. Snow
fall last winter was generally heavy
over the Boise river water shed. In
addition it is wet, heavy and well
packed.

MINING FUTURE
Of IDAHO SAID
To BE GLOWING
Dean Thompson of Uni
versity and D. D. JOS
lyn Outline Possibili-
ties of This State.

That southwestern Idaho has po-
tentialities as a producer of gas and
oil, was the declaration OF Dean Fran
els Thompson. head of the University
OF Idaho department of mining and
one OF the states best authorities on
Idaho geology. This section of Idaho
can confidently be expected to yield
considerable quantities of gas and it
may develop oil producing wells, Dean
Thompson declared at the Kiwanis
club luncheon Thursday.
In a brief non-technical discussion
OF mining as a major industry in Ida
no, the speaker pointed out that in
southeastern Idaho alone there are es-
timatcd to be five and half billion
tons of phosphate rock, the largest
and best deposit of this fertilizer in
the United States. Its development.
Dean, Thompson believes. is only a
matter of time.
In that section OF the state, too, the
speaker said, are formation identical
to those Of Wyoming where oil wells
are flowing. While without prospect
ing for oil. the speaker said that it
was impossible 10 definitely state that
oil could be discovered there, he cx-
pressed a belief that development will
prove the value of that territory for
oil production.
ID. d. Joslyn. of Jordan Valley, in
speaking on a similar subject, empha-
sized Dean Thompson's declaration
that this section might prove an oil
producer with the statement that the
old theory that lava flows prevented
the possibility of oil accumulations
had been exploded and that certain
sections of this territory give every
promise OF producing oil. Coal OF
low grade exists in Owyhee county in
large quantities. he pointed out. Its
development. Mr.. Joslyn believes. is
a duty Upon its development, Mr.. JOS
lyn thinks. depends the future of this
section from an industrial standpoint.
Jordan Valley is still looking to Ida
no for the completion OF good high
way out. Mr.. Joslyn said. The Ore
gon end of the road is now in excel
lent shape.

CITY POLITICAL
POT ST|RS AND
TICKET NAMED
John Smeed Heads First
Slate in Field with a
Strong Council on His
Ticket.

CITY politics blossomed out in full
v;por Tuesday morning. when COM
olete Citizens" ticket. nominated by
neti,ion. was filed shortly before noon
with :. Earle Boyes, city clerk.
John Smeed heads the ticket as a
candidate for mayor Drafted for the
Mace by friends who insisted upon his
Incoming candidate, Mr.. Smeed gave
his approval Monday evening with the
result that a complete ticket was
shortly afterward selected and mach
;nery set in motion to obtain requisite
signatures TO give the ticket legal
standing.
Competent men grace the ticket for
every position. Both Mr.. Boyes and
w. c. Dyer, city clerk and city treas
urer. respectively. whose work has
done so much to give the city the
sound and economical administration
that has featured the past two years,
are both candidates for reelection on
this ticket. Neither is expected to
have any opposition not even If many
more tickets are placed in the field.
For councilmen the Citizens ticket
names Frank Mumford and Z. J.
Robb from the first ward; F. G. Pick
c, and A. L. Harmon from the second
ward and f. I. Feuling and w. I.
Kimbrough from the third ward. OF
these six men. Kimbrough and Mr..
Mumford. are members of the present
council while Mr.. Feuling served as a
councilman during the administration
OF Grant Ward whose term expired
two years ago.
No one OF the candidates is tied by
any strings, has made any pledges.
is the representative of any clique or
faction. II is believed generally that
the men who comprise the Citizens
ticket can and will give Caldwell a
good municipal government il they are
elected
Ed Perry. so far as known, is the
only potential opposition that Mr..
Smeed will have for mayor. 1t is un-
derstood that he is to file his nomin-
alton papers this week, if it has not
already been done. Just how COM
plete Mr.. Perry's ticket is to be will
not be known until it becomes a mat
ter OF record.
Jack Terry said Tuesday that still
a third ticket was under consideration.
Whether this idea has reached some
thing more than a nebulous stage
could not be learned.

College Track Men
Will Build Team
Well Rounded Squad Is
Working Out With
Good Prospects

For the first time in many years
College of Idaho students are turning
seriously to track work as a major
spring activity. Under the direction
OF Coach Jim Jackson, a fair sized
squad is reporting regularly for prac-
tice on Cleaver field.
Advance dope indicates that the
Coyote team won't burn up the con-
ference but that the local collegians
will be able to present fairly well
balanced and rounded squad for the
first time in many years is foregone
conclusion.
'Red" Sanford, diminutive Nampa
sprinter, is out for these events with
Tolles giving the Coyotes two good
entries in the dashes. Huett is work
ing in the sprints and with the discus,
Preston, a Freshman. shows promise
with the javelin, while Welch. a Cald-
well high man. seems the best bet in
the vault. Jackson, himself, is tack
ling the high hurdles and Lamb is
off a second or so every
week on his performances in the quar-
ter and half mile events.
II is practically certain now that
the conference meet will be staged on
the Coyote field, according to Coach
Jackson. This event will probably be
held the middle of May, either May Il
Or 10 being the preferred date.

OUTLOOK
At HIGH SCHOOL
LOOMS BRIGHTLY
Coach Paints Rosy Pic
ture of Spring Pros
poets with Veterans to
Bolster Squad.

Prospects are brigh; for a winning
track team at the Caldwell high school
this spring. according to Coach James
Jackson. Not only does the high
school track mentor believe that his
cohorts will stack up well in the meets
that are to be staged on the local
field this spring, but he also is opti-
mistic enough to think that the cinder
PAGERS have a chance to cop signal
honors at both the southern idaho
elimination meet in Caldwell May 5
for the cream of southern Idaho high
school track men at the University OF
Idaho all state classic some time later
in May.
Coach Jackson bases this conclusion
on the fact that in Hoshaw and Clca-
yer he has two men who should not
only duplicate their last years record
but should be good enough to take
three firsts at the university meet. Ho-
shaw, in addition to being the premier
quarter miller of the state, is being
groomed for the half. Cleaver is con-
fidently expected to repeat in the mile
although in Campbell. new conner,
Jackson has uncovered a miller who
promises to make Cleaver extend him
self this spring.
y If these two athletes come through
the way they should, it will be only
necessary to pick up four or FIVE more
points to take the state meet, in the
opinion of Coach Jackson. To do
that, Jackson is pinning his faith IN
Gaines who shows remarkable inn
in getting over the hurdles,
and Z. Lowell. who should connect
with a few points in the broad jump
if his baseball will give him time
enough to get in shape for that event.
lowell at present is kicking out about
10 feet. a good early season perform
ince.
Other high school men who are re-
porting regularly and who show pro-
mise of developing into point getters
Tor the high school are Stevens in the
shot. Rankin in the shot and discus
events, Pratt, a high jumper, and Pit
tenger. also a high jumper. Vaulting
practice was started this week.
About the only dark cloud on the
horizon is the announcement made on
Thursday by Coach Jackson that he
would not be able to continue as coach
Tor the high school team. Shortage
of finances has neccssitated that he
ind more lucrative employment that
,e might continue his school work the
-cmainder of the semester Just who
will succeed him is a problem that
,igh school students are cogitating |
seriously. Coach r. NJ. Berry is di- /
-ecting his attention to baseball ex-
.lusively and there seems TO be no
,ne else in sight,
This years meets include triangu-
ar battle with Boise and Nampa at
Boise April 81. the district meet here
April 2S and the all-southern Idaho
elimination meet also at Caldwell on
Nay 5.

Gompers and Coolidge
Talk on Child Labor

Observation-Disclosures of child
labor through Hesitation that will not
be declared unconstitutional by the
U. S. supreme court is being urged
upon President Coolidge by Samuel
Gompers, president, American Feder-
talon of Labor Gompers has called
the attention of the president to the
fact that there has been an increase
of Sc per cent in the number of chill
dren employed industrially in the
United States.
He has also informed the president
that at recent conference in which
were represented Is national women's
organizations and the A. F. of L.. it
was decided to make a drive for the
adoption of federal constitutional
amendment forbidding the employ
ment of children. An amendment to
the constitution, he declared, seemed
to be the only way that the supreme
courts objections could be overcome.
Gompers says that the president
seems sympathetic and willing to CO.
operate to secure the restriction of
child labor. Coolidge pointed to the
efforts made by his own state-Mass-
achusetts-to limit child labor and
was proud of the record it had made
in that respect.

Would Repeal the
VoIstead Dry Law

Washington-The report which At
torney General Daugherty made to
President Coolidge the other day on
national prohibition, revealing wide
spread and fragrant lawlessness by vi
olators of the Volstead act, is to be
made the basis for drive to secure
either repeal or modification of the
national prohibition law at the coming
session of congress.
A number of bills having that OBJ
ject in view will be introduced in both
the senate and house. Some of these
bills will provide for the direct re-
peal of the Volstead act Others will
seek to amend the Volstead act by
permitting a greater alcoholic con-
tent in beer and wine than the one
half of one per cent which is now
permissible under law.
The wet leaders expect to use the
attorney generals reports as Exhibit
A" to show the failure of national
prohibition. 1t probably will be en-
bodied in full in the minority COM
mittee report that will be made to
congress to back up the bill to modify
the Volstead act.
