PRES|DENT ENDS
HIS LONG
VOYAGE
Back in ST. Augustine After
Most Remarkable Trip Ever
Taken by Executive.
BY GEORGE Il. HOLMES,
International News service.

ST. AUGUSTlNE,s Fla, March
24.President Harding today con.
cluded what is probably the most
remarkable trip ever taken by a
President Of the United States.
For nearly three weeks he has
roamed at will up and down 600
miles of rivers, bayous, and IN
lets that make up Florida's coast
line, following no program, hav-
ing no definite plans from one
day to the next, and guided only
by the impulses Af the hour.
Not . Single Speech.
The President has travelled by
houseboat, train, motor. speedboat
and flivver, played nearly 800 holes
of golf over a dozen courses strung
out from Ormond to Miami, fished
IN river and ocean, visited a score of
Florida resorts and towne-all with.

gaging in any Of the weighty CON

Washington to escape.

with him-veterang who followed
Wilson. Taft and even the strenuous
evelt-breathed signs of relief
when Mr.. Harding ended his cruise
on the l1ouseboat Pioneer here today.
They have made tentative programs
which Mr.. Harding good humoredly
broke ct the first opportunity, and
the usual carefully laid plans that
surround Presidential trip have
gone for naught.
The President considered he had
had a 'real vacation" when he ar
rived here today. He has been house
boating In Florida waters before as
chief executive, but in other years
he has had TO follow the general out
line Of schedule, with the result
numerous occasions by those who
wished to ret his ear, This year he
would have none Of It. The lack of
a program served to prevent crowds
collecting at points along the line and
made Il q risky venture for visitors
to try to get an audience at any par.

In Good Condition.
The President shows the effects
of his three weeks golfing and
fishing under the scorching sun Of
the subtropics. The sallow COM

The major part OF the Presiden'

days will elapse before he returns

awaited him, and II appeared prob.

NOT. A TRAVELLING GOVERNOR

Governor C. c. Moore has accept
ed the invitation of A. H. Upham,
president, to attend the commence
ment exercises OF the University of
Idaho at Moscow June II.
The graduating class this year will
be the largest in the history of the

degrees will be granted, and II of
these will be masters.
To Make Two Trips
The governor said recently that
he intends making two trips to the
northern part of the state during the
coming summer. The first of these
will be in June, at which time he
will inspect the Orofino insane asy-
lum and attend the commencement
exercises at Moscow.
During the following month. July,
he will spend from a week to ten
days in the forests of the north. He
will go in a camping party, for the
purpose of making a thorough inves-
tigation into the states white pine
timber resources.
The purpose of this EXPEDITION is
to determine what portions of the
states timber holdings can be sold
at the present time and also what
precautionary measures should be
taken to save the timber from fire.

IDAHO POTATO SHIPMENTS BIG

Government statistics indicate that
Idaho's potato crop shipments will
total more than those of last year,
according to ]. H. Jacobson of the
U. S. bureau of crop statistics. The
season on last years potato ship
ments, he holds, will continue we'll
into July this year. Already the
shipments this year are 1000 cars
above the shipments for the same
period last season, and are within
1000 cars of last years total ship
ment
Figures on the seasonal shipments
from Idaho show that for the week
ending April 81, GIT cars moved
out of Idaho. This is the largest
state total shipment in the United
States for that week, and is ap-
preached only by Wisconsin, with
791 cars shipped.
Total shipments from Idaho to
April 20 are 13,107 cars.
Total to the same date last year
is 1886 cars.

OUR NEXT
RUSH JOB

.. The next rush job to be attended
to by the Idaho Reclamation Asso-
citation and the commercial clubs OF
eastern Idaho is to get the arrange
ments made for the Greater Fort
Hall project and get 1t hooked up
with the American Falls reservoir
in the three-cornered> undertaking
with the Fort Hall project.
Men may be weary of working on
these things, but in all the time
since these jobs were conceived
there never has been SO much need
of keeping to the task as right now
when the success of each depends
so much upon being properly con-
nected with the other two. Failing
to accomplish this will mean the
Gripping of the main achievement,
and now that two of the projects
are promoted and anchored on the
right plain, we need to keep on in
united effort to put the other across
and get it anchored.

IDAHO'S GREATEST
RESERVOIR

The American Falls reservoir will
be built. The railroad from Win
nemucca to Twin Falls will be built.
The model town designed by Russell
V. Black will be built on the shores
of the new lake. The winter flow
and the great spring food of Snake
river will be arrested in its sweep
to the sea, and made to do duty
watering an empire. A million acres
that have thirsted thru all the cen
turtles of the Christian Era will be
made productive for thousand
years. A new valley of the Nile will
come into the worlds thoughts and
be written into its history, made pos
sible by new type of pyramid built
long and narrow across the channel
of the seventh largest river of the
world. The passages and Railways
within it's mass will be built, not for
the abode of the dead, but to govern
the storage and flow of the waters
for the living, and by its pressure
will generate a subtle force to enter
the homes of the living and light
and heat to fetch and carry and be
their servants without pay or thanks.
And on the other hand, the old
cataract will disappear. Passengers
looking out of car windows as they
cross above the gorge, will not be
wondering about freak of nature
and stream rolling over cliff, but
will view a work of science and art
that challenges the admiration of
them all. The old town that was
divided against itself will be replac-

In this connection an interesting
fact was brought. to Eight, and that
is, that one-third of the. babies of
Idaho are born in hospitals, which
insures the newcomers a good start
in life, as hospitals are so well equip

their mothers. There is growing
interest in these institutions, and
warmer appreciation of what they
stand for, and their value to the
community life.

Co-ordinated Service
AS a Transit Remedy

No problem confronting New Jersey municipalities to-
day is more important to more people than the problem
of local transportation.
In every community, every day a large proportion of the
residents must be carried to and from the factories, the
shops, the schools.
Thus transportation enters intimately into the indus
trial, the commercial, the professional, even the social
activities of every city and town. No community can
progress without it.
What every community needs therefore is a system Of
local transportation that is safe, comfortable, ADEQUATE
and efficient; one that will give the most service for the
least cost.
There is but one way to produce such service-by co-or-
dinating trolleys and buses under a single operating
management and using both types of vehicles to the
fullest capacity required to meet the demands of the
people.
