IDAHO RESERVOIR
TO Be BUILT SOON
UTAH COMPANY is RECOMMEND
ED BY DISTRICT BOARD AS
BUILDERS OF DAM
Preferred Bid Is 81 400, 900; II Present
Plans Carry Work viii Begin
During the Month of
November

American Falls, Idaho-The Amer
can Falls reservoir district boar'
has recommended to the secretary OF
the interior that the Utah Construc'
ton company bid of $1,400,0OO fol
the construction of storage dam OF
100000 acre-feet capacity be &C
cepted and approved. The boards
recommendation has been mailed tc
the Denver office of the reclamation
bureau.
It is estimated that the award may
be made by the secretary within ten
days and that work may begin with
in three weeks. 1t is agreed here be-
tween representatives of the construc-
ton company, the reclamation bureau
and the reservoir board that every
possible means will be employed to
obtain an appreciate amount Of
stored water in the American Falls
reservoir by June, 1925, to protect
water users of the valley against
recurrence of another shortage.
Recommendation as to the success
full bidder came after two days de-
liberation and study on the part Of
the reservoir board members. In the
final analysis it was found that the
bids were all reasonably close, the
Utah Construction company was the
successful bidder, because it was
found to have the equipment on hand
with which to do the work, had done
similar jobs before and could begin
work Immediately.
The recommendation of the reser
voir board chat the contract be award
ed for the low dam follows out the
decision of the secretary of the in
terror that authorization would not be
given for the construction of the high
er dam (1,700,O0O acrefeet capacity
until participating irrigation districts
shall have deposited $950,0O0 in cash
with the department of the interior.
This sum would be equivalent to
S1.25 per acre-foot for the additional
100000 acre-feet that would be stor-
ed by the high dam.
Engineers estimate that irrigation
districts could come in and partici- |
pate in the storage on the above cost
basis not later than the fall of 1925,
1t which time the dam would be well
IN toward completion. If this should
AXE place, and the dam be built to
he 100000 acre-feet capacity, the
ot of the stored water would be re-
luced to SIS per acre-foot as against
z per acre-foot, should the low dam
re completed. Several upper valley
istricts, as well as the Gooding dis
riot, are expected to participate in
he construction costs at a later date.
Should the award be made to the
Utah Construction company as rec
by the reservoir board, En-
iner Paddock, who superintendent
he construction of the Hetch Hetchcy
am in California, will come to Amer
an Falls to superintend actual rec
Imation service engineer and is re-
Ited to be among the best engineers
valuable for the kind of work that
ill be done at American Falls.

fault of the elders than the youth.
1t is pointed out that it was the old
err generation that threw the proven
bal monkey wrench into the machin-
cry of the worlds affairs and set it
awry, and not the younger genera
tiOn.
Even old Iowa, it would seem, has
been invaded by the modern trend
in things moral. We quote at length
an editorial published recently in
The Randolph Enterprise, when a
young woman was seen nonchalantly
smoking a cigaret on the streets of
that community. The editorial fol-
lows:
Social and moral evils and habits
which are regarded as improper are
known to exist and abound in the
cities and in public elsewhere, but
some of them seldom put in an APP
pearance in small towns. Monday. an
inclosed car carrying as a passenger
a young lady, stopped on Main street
and the young man proceeded to at
tend to business. His fair compan-
ion remained parked in the glass bug
gy and proceeded to while away her
time while compelled to stop in this
hck town by reading the, comic sec
ton Of newspaper and inhaling the
inspiration which seeps from the I'M
lighted end of cigaret. The per-
formance to her, seemed to come
quite naturally, and no doubt she was
not conscious of the fact that the
villagers made unnecessary trips past
her parking place to view the pro-
cedure. School children in passing
viewed the beautiful damsel with all
seeing eyes, and wondered if all the
bad things their mothers had told
them about cigarets were true. Land
knows, he-men of the town set enough
bad examples for our young folks,
without having ladies also posing as
models. At least the lady smokers of
this town do not appear in public

American woman" and not the col
lege woman or any section of the
country.
Even church magazines have come
back at DIR. Smith, declaring that
the picture he has painted of modern
youth is too pessimistic. The stand
ards have changed in this generation
as they have in the past, one publica-
tion declares. Yet the youth of to-
day is no worse than the youth of
yesteryear, it is said.
The Reformed Church Messenger,
for instance, writes:
Changed social customs have
brought about new forms of indul-
gence and so-called pleasure seeking
But it would require a great sdeal
more proof than we have so far seen
to persuade US that essentially the
college students of today are morally
inferior to those Of a generation
ago."
But it is left to The United Pres
byterian to refute DR.. Smiths asser
tions with statistics. They do not
look we'll for the past generation:
statistics from 80 state institu-
tions in 1921 show that out of total
enrolment OF 1)1,4Ol SIuuenIS, lou
1876 had religious affiliations. while
q, 975 made no statement regarding
their religious life. This is very en-
couraging when compared with our
early history, when even though the
colleges were church institutions,
practically all students were outside
the church. In Princeton from IT'S
to 1882 there was but one professor
of religion. At Bowdoin college in
1907 there was only one Christian.
At Yale for four years there was but
one, and but four or five in other
years about the beginning of the cen
fury. Many of the students assumed
the names of leading infidels and
atheists. Often every student was
professed infidel, or at least outside
the church. Bishop Meade, of Vir-
ginia, said in 1911 that William and
Mary college was hotbed of French
infdelity, and that for many years in
every educated young man whom he
met he expected to find an infidel"
The lack of Christian thought in
the colleges. the materialistic lean
ings of professors, and the getting
away from the old-fashioned religion,
are said to be contributing causes to
present-day moral conditions.
But these conditions are rather the

Chicago Khan Holds
Colortul Masquerade
Ball in City Armory

CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 25.-Klan-
dom's most colorful and enjoyable
Washington's birthday anniversary
celebration was staged at the Broad
way armory here last Friday night
when more than 5000 Klansmen,
Klanswomen and their friends parti-
cipated in a mask ball.
While the official regalia was not
worn, a costume presented to each
guest by U. S. Grant club, the organ
ization sponsoring the affair, includ-
ed peaked cap, with drop visors for
the men, and madi gras masks for
the ladies. These with the multi
hued costumes of the masqueraders
gave a weird and mysterious air to
the dancing thousands.
Among the guests of honor was the
Grand Dragon of the Realm of ILL
nois. Guests were present from all
sections of Illinois and from neigh
boring states.
While the mask ball had been Civ
en- the widest publicity no effort was
made to interfere with it's presenta-
ton, and no disorder occurred during
the affair. The police the sheriff,
the state constabulary, and the ma
tional guard all arranged to protect
the guests.
