RESERVATION NEWS

The water supply in the Blackfoot
reservoir at this time of the year has
usually been about 100000 acre-feet,
but the reservoir was drained for re-
pairs last fall and there is now
stored only $4,000 acre-feet. There
has usually been large surplus after
the seasons irrigating was done, and
the reclamation feels secure for
watering this year, tho they will have
to practice rather rigid economy.
Last year they allowed the water to
flow out of the reservoir all summer
to the full capacity Of the gates; this
spring they will only allow enough
to pass to keep the fish alive until the
spring freshets have passed and then
will draw only what they can use.
The snowfall at the reservoir the
past winter was fifty inches, and
there is now thirteen inches Of snow
on the level. The snowstorm OF this
week was spotted, and there was a
lighter fall at the reservoir than at
Blackfoot, there being six inches at
the dam. When it was showing
hardest in the Snake river valley, the
sun was shining at the dam.
C. A. Engle, supervising engineer,
is in other parts of the district and

RAIL MEN IN TOWN

C. c. Gigneau, the agricultural
helper for the farmer employed by
the Union Pacific system. and A. v.
Kipp, assistant general freight agent
for the same lines, were in Blackfoot
Wednesday Afternoon to see what was
being done by the Cow Corporation
to get more dairy cows into this
community and to see what they
could do to help the good work
along.
They say that Idaho is coming
back, and that the localities that
have the COW, the pig and the hen to
help them, are coming back the
earliest and the best. Mr.. Gigneau
said that in the fact of all our
troubles southern Idaho has paid on
something like three-quarters Of it's
bank debts in the past three years OF
hard times, and that it is a pretty
good country that can do that. In
1921 this state shipped out thirteen
cars of eggs and in 1928 it shipped
1873 cars. The first carload that
went out this season did not sell well
because they were not graded acs
cording to what the consumers de-
mand. The second car was properly
graded and brought $500 more than
the first one. When white and
brown eggs are shipped into mar
ket that demands white eggs, they
do not sell well, but when graded
and white ones shipped where they
want white ones and brown ones
where they demand brown eggs, all
customers are pleased and pay the
price.
Mr.. Kipp said that in 1928, the
Short Line hauled 273 carloads of
emigrant freight out of Idaho and
hauled $50 carloads into the state.
Also there were 231 carloads moved
from one part of the state to some
other place in the state, so the net
loss of population by rail was not
great They have no record of those
that went out by the jitney route.

On further consulting the Of
ficers and the magistrate from whom
we received our information, we find
that it is true that he was arrested
and is charged with illegal posses
sion of liquor, and is under bond to
appear in court, but it is not charged
in the complaint that he sold liquor
to students. Complaints made to Of
ficers before Mr. Drew's arerst gave
rise to putting two sets of circum-

COAL USERS MEETING MONDAY

At the Chamber of Commerce on
Monday evening will be a meeting to
receive information as to why we are
not getting the Idaho coal from the
briggs mine, and to take action look
ing to an order from the public util-
tiles commission to have it mined
and marketed.
This is high quality coal, can be
supplied to Idaho people at con-
siderable lower price than we are
now paying, and it is thought that
united action on the part of the citi-
zens of the valley can secure action.
H. F. Samuels, the president of
the company that now owns it, will
be- present to address the meeting,
and citizens are urged to be present.

THE CITY BUSINESS

At the council meeting on Tues
day evening the council had a con-
ference with Manager Brown of the
Idaho Power company of Pocatello
regarding the new schedule Of prices
recently fixed by the public utilities
commission. Mr.. Brown went over
the conditions to show what It would
cost the city on the three different
plans that are open to them to
choose from. They can buy or lease
certain local equipment for distribu-
ton of electrical energy or they can
take the fve year contract and got S
per cent discount on their bills or
they can take the ten year contract
and get 10 per cent discount on the
bills. The council listened and
asked 4 good many questions and
thanked Mr.. Brown for coming.
The council has q committee In
vestigating the subject of installing
a Diesel engine to take the place Of
electricity for pumping, and accord
ing to information given them by a
salesman the city should be able to
make saving of upwards of $780,
900 in a ten-year period by buying
the engine. The committee Is still
studying the question and have not
made any recommendations.
The council are studying the mat
ter of installing meters to record
water consumption. They are con-
fronted with the unwelcome fact that
1t takes as much water for domestic
purposes for the winter season as
1t does for domestic purposes and
irrigation combined for the summer
season, and a study of the subject re-
veals the fact that many customers
whose water pipes at their houses
are not properly protected from frost
simply open their faucets and let the
water waste to keep 1t from freezing,
and it runs into thousands of gallons
a week at each place. In summer
the pumps operate steadily during
the hours for irrigation and then lie
still for hours at time during the
other period. In winter they operate
until the tank is full and then snap
OF and stand a short time till the
water runs to waste enough to auto
matically snap on again to fill the
tank. The starting of such large
motors and pumps consumes as
much power as to keep them going
for quite a while, so the
power bills for the little water actu-
ally needed for the winter are enor-
nous. Study of the subjects leads
the council to believe that rs per
cent of the water users waste more
Or less water and there are large
number of homes where they open
the taps and let 1t run. The now
INTO the sewer from many homes
'uns like a waterfall all night, and
his nullifies the efforts of the city
government in keeping down the ex-
,enses and the taxes. They ec0no-
nize in everything they can control,
equire people to get down to bed
ock prices in furnishing materials
or the city, and then see it thrown
way at the taps. They have con-
luded they can never make the
vater system pay its way and pay on
he bonds unless they have the CO.
peration OF the citizens in water
economy. Since they have found
Vhat a large percentage of them
waste the water they feel more dis
osed to take the bull by the horns
nd install meters and let the con-
umers and MASTERS pay the bill.

CAR BROKE A WINDOW

On Saturday evening at about $3.50
a car banged into the front window
of J. H. Early's office on Bridge
street and caused about 5000 of dam
age. and narrowly missed hurting
some bystanders.
The car belonged to 8. A. Judd, Of
Rose, and he attempted to start II
when tho engine stuck. He cranked
Il and seemingly the clutch was en-
gagged, for It bumped him and he
= jumped out Of the way. =. MRS. c. F.
Smith, Mrs. John Nothdurf and Ed
Donnelly were passing or standing In
the path Of the car and they lodged
It. Some man was drinking At the
fountain and he jumped Just in time
to save himself, but 1t swept the
fountain piping away like q pipestem.
The car went just far enough to
break the large plate glass and pan
nels under 1t that admit light to the
basement. The damage totaled about
5000 and was not covered by insur-
ance.
Mr.. Early was at Salt Lake at the
time and when he got home and saw
his office frented with a wagon
cover he thought he had been the
victim of fire, but when he found
1t was only collision he breathed
easier and was satisfied. Mr.. Early
says that a few dollars invested In in
surance on car binds the company
to pay any damage the car does to
itself or to other cars or property,
and relieves the owner of the risk
even tho he makes a mistake or
somebody else slips the clutch into
nosition and puts the car into action.
IN this instance, H. w. Curtis owns
the building and it was not insured
against auto accidents; Mr.. Judd
owned the car he was driving and 1t
was not insured against collision or
other accident, so the responsibility
for the damage lay with the owner
of the car.
A good many windows are broken
by auto tires fiipipng pebbles against
them from the pavement. Some
windows break in sunny weather
when nothing is touching them, and
it has been found that where black
paint Is used in lettering signs on the
glass, 1t concentrates the heat of the
sun and expands the glass unevenly
and cracks, 1t, so the rate of insur-
ance Is q little higher on window
that has black paint on.
When a person has an accident |
such as Mr.. Judd did, the way to do
is to report to the police officer or
the police judge or the city clerk and
make satisfactory arrangements for !
settling the loss after an estimate Is
made OF what 1t will be. If such a
thing happens in a town where one
is a stranger 1t is important that an
official release be secured, as leaving !,
town without doing 1t might be con-
sidered an attempt to evade respon-
sIbility, and thereby incur the danger
or suffering a criminal charge in adj
dition to paying the damage.
Much of the glass in the Blackfoot
business houses is insured by the
owners of the buildings against &C

RoTARIANs RETURNED SMILING

The delegates to the district con-
vention of Rotarians returned from
Ogden the FIRST of the week with
glowing reports Of how Ogden and
Rotary entertained them. About
twenty people went from Blackfoot,
and some of them came home whom
1.-The convention :, was over, while
others went to Salt Lake for q day or
two.
| w. HI Stufhebeam issthe president
of the Blackfoot club, and he said he
had very busy and very enjoyable
time. Besides the sessions of the
convention proper, there were meet
ings Of Rotary presidents, to talk
over work belonging to that rank Of
leadership. meetings OF secretaries
and Of chairmen of various commit
tees, and those things filled In much
Of the time between sessions Of the
whole.
The meetings were held in the
Elks Building, and the social affairs
at Berthan's Hall, where 500 people
were seated for entertainment or at
the banquet tables. Besides some
eminent speakers, they had reports
from various clubs on their activ-
tiles, the work for helping boys be-
ing one of the most interesting per-
haps fraught with greatest possibil-
tiles for good. A delegate from
Idaho Falls reported on the exper-
fence of nine boys, who had been go
ing out at nights and getting into
trouble for which they were ordered
to the reformatory. but in each Of
these cases, where Rotarians stepped

havior Some individual Rotarian
was assigned to become the pal and
sponsor for each boy, with the re-
suit that they settled down to a pro-
gram of study and recreation that
was free from pitfalls, they took a
keener interest, stood we'll in their

on the road to definite detectives.
Such reports inspired the convention
to recommend more intensive work
in behalf of the boys. who have the
of no place to go and not
much to do with and. too. easily get
out on the street and into pranks.
The ladies were treated to drives

THE FOOT AND
MOUTH QUARANTINE

There Is now an embargo against
shipping anything out of California
! into Idaho that might carry foot and
mouth disease, unless the goods and
wrapping shall first have been fumt-
gated under federal inspection, and
permitted by the inspectors to be so
shipped.
Persons or firms receiving any
kind of goods from California should
burn the packing promptly on arrival
and take every known precaution to
prevent the spread of the disease. 1t
might be carried in the mails, it may
be carried by migratory birds, but
everybody is requested to take such
measures as they can to safety.
The foot and mouth disease is one
of the deadly maladies that Is not
vet understood. No remedy or cure
for 1t has yet been discovered, and
we are informed that whatever the
germ or means of spreading 1t Is,
nobody has yet found 1t and learned
its nature. The one fact remains well
known-that it is deadly and spreads
easily: Whenever it Is found to exist
in herd or flock, every animal IN
the herd is killed and buried. II
one animal in a packing house were
found infected, the whole plant
would be shut up. all the products
in it destroyed and the whole place
fumigated.
Last week there was an alarm in
the Denver stock yards over some
calves that had something the matter
with them, and Denver was quaran-
tined until 1t was found that 1t was
not foot and mouth disease that the
calves had.
On the first of this week the num-
Der of animals already destroyed In
California had passed the fifty-thou-
sand mark, and the momentary losses
had run into the millions. Other
states are taking drastic steps to
keep it out, acting on the theory that
they have already suffered enough
from the panic and If this new
scourge should get in, it would be
like a final blow to reconstruction
programs.
