CONSIDERING COMMUNITY TREE

At a meeting on Monday evening
by representatives of a dozen Organi-
cations, the matter of a community
evergreen tree for use at Christmas
time was discussed The suggestion
has been made that during the pres
ent summer, suitable tree shall be
selected in the mountains, and dur
ing the fall it shall be made ready
for removal when properly frozen in,
saturated with water, so it can be
set in the court house yard without
having the roots disturbed or any
of the native soil removed from
them.
The tree would then be electrically
wired for permanent use at Christ
mas time SO the Riddles of all the
community could celebrate with can
dy and nuts and short outdoor
program.
The cost of the tree would be the
cost of the labor to dig around it,
keep it saturated while freezing, the
hauling to town in early winter and
placing it in the pit the size of a
ball of earth that would come with
the roots. Added to that would be
the cost of wiring for lighting it.
A committee consisting Of Leroy
Jones, Mrs. Neil Boyle and Dryden
Reay was delegated to get an esti-
mate of the probable cost.

sacres which took place there. The
marker was made by the Sheehan
Welding Works of Idaho Falls. Mem

the Indian writing and the history
of the tribe which are still to be
found there, and also opened up and

wealthy Polish family, that these

LONG LOST SISTER UNITED

Mrs. Frank Just leaves for Florida
on Saturday, May 31st, to visit a
long lost sister from whom she has
been separated ever since Mrs. Just
was six months old.
There were two sisters and half
brother in the family when the home
was broken up forty years ago and
the three were separated and raised
in different homes where the know

forgotten.
Ten years ago Mrs. Just under

half brother and he came west to

AS indicated by information pre-
viously given out by this office and
various other government and state
officials and agencies, the water sup
ply for this season will be deficient
and it is the paramount problem
of every official engaged in the dis
tribution of water-from the project
engineer to the ditch rider and of
every farmer or water user, to secure
the NAHUM possible service from the
limited supply of water available.
Present conditions indicate that on
the Fort Hall project the available
water supply for the season will be
approximately so per cent of normal.
In view of this deficiency in the sup
ply, and as previously indicated by
information already given out, the
quantity of water to be served for
the season is tentatively restricted
to acre-feet per acre cultivated.
If more water develOpes, or Is found
to be available, it will of course be
distributed, but present conditions
indicate 3 acre-feet as approximately
the maximum supply that will be
available for the season. After the
delivery to any water user reaches
a total of acre-feet, delivery Of
water to him will be discontinued.
1t is therefore to the interest of
each water user to exercise the great
est possible care and diligence in the
economical use of the water. 1t is
being successfully demonstrated In
many irrigation districts that good
crops can be grown by the use of
