II. B. FARRIS WRITES ABOUT
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE

r. B. Farris who went from here
to southern California a few weeks
ago, writes home about the foot and
mouth disease, and sent ten photos
of the animals in the trenches dead
or waiting for the executioner. His
letter, written from Los Angeles, r.
F. D. IL, Box 452, follows:
| Dear Mr.. Trego:
! l am writing an article about the
foot and mouth disease which is true
to the best of my knowledge. In
southern California, at the little
town of Hines, ten miles south Of
Los Angeles, l began working for
the state one month ago today, and
have been with 1t every day, in
Guiding Sundays. l am writing this
to you and to my many friends In
Blackfoot, as l have heard so often
and / was also under the impression
that it was graft, but l want to
say Mr.. Trego and dear readers, that
both the state and government vet
erinarians are doing all in their pow
er to stamp out this disease, and
there is not the least bit of doubt
in my mind or in the minds of those
who are in a position to know.
To give you an IDEAS soon as
they find one that has this disease,
they call the nearest office and
guards are sent out at once to guard
the entire premises, and guards are
plenty and waiting. Then comes
the appraiser and the grave diggers.
They dig grave seven feet deep,
IA to 6 feet with one foot in length
for each COW; fifty COWS, fifty feet
and so on as the case may be. Then
they are all driven into the pit and
are shot. Max being the executor
he is furnished with four 25-4O rifles
and a man to load the guns for him. |
He was timed few nights ago while |
shooting at midnight by electric |
light, and IA cows were killed in |
ten minutes, shooting 80 shots. He |
has killed around 5000 cows, hogs |
and goats and has 444 cows and |
hogs to shoot today for the county
farm which took the horrible dis
ease yesterday evening.
The county farm COWS, as I un-
derstand, hold all records west of
the Missouri river, but they all go,
good and bad. The owners have been
paid from $50 up to $3.50 SO far by
the state and government, half and
half.
After the animals are killed theyj
are cut open and lined very heavily,
then covered over this work Is be-
Ing done from discovery to finish
In twelve hours, so you can see how
rapidly they get them under
the ground. This is done to prevent
the spread of disease as much as
possible. The veterinarians disinfect
thoroughly before going on and OF
! dairy, and are clad with rubber
hats, coats, gloves and hip boots. All
people on diaries are quarantined
and If 1t is necessary for one to
cave the premises he is fumigated
,hree minutes, this being my job,
lice work and pay satisfactory. II

COMPLETING BLACKFOOT DAM.

The work of completing the dan
at the BlackfoOt reservoir is under
way with plenty of help. The reser-
voir was drained last fall of $4,000
acre feet of water and the dam was
repaired from bedrock up to a safe
! height for the winter storage The
leaks were repaired to stop the loss
of about so second feet, or $500
inches of water that flowed out
through underground passages in the
mountain when the lake was we'll
filled. The dam is now being raised
to greatly increase the capacity OF
the reservoir.
Grays lake has been connected
with the reservoir by a cut through
the watershed, and controlling
works put In at what is known as
the Outlet, at the northern end of
the lake, thus holding back 1926 Sec
ond feet or 1920 inches of water
that has been flowing away to VIII
low creek. Enough is allowed to go
down the old channel to supply the
decreed rights and the rest turned
into the Blackfoot reservoir. This
nearly solves the problem of waste
water that was doing SO much dam
age along the lower reaches of Will
low creek and on Sand creek when
the water was not needed for irri-
cation.
The waters of Tin Cup creek,
stream about twice the size of the
Blackfoot river, will later be turned
into the reservoir instead of flowing
to Salt river as at present.
Last year the government paid 81
a day for men at the dam and had
to maintain employment offices in
three different cities to keep enough
help, besides furnishing transporta-
tion from the railroad to the work
There was a constant turnover of
help and low production This year
they pay 1920 day, have a steady
force and production Is more
than fifty per cent better than last
year.
Two steam shovels are working on
the High Line canal east of Gibson,
and about mile of 1t is completed |
forty feet wide on the bottom, twelve |
feet deep and So feet wide at the |
top of the water which is to be eight
ieet in depth. This canal is to be
and kept on as high level

SAVE THE SIGNS.

Road signs were a joke in the
days when the automobile was such
a rarity that Barnum exhibited one
of the strange contraptions in his
sideshows. Cautionary and warning
signals were unheard of. They were
unnecessary then, for the horse had
more sense than some drivers. He
positively declined to speed up un-
less he could see what lay ahead OF
him.
Directory signs usually pointed in
the right direction, unless some boys
had turned the arrow around, a prac-
tical joke which was considered ex-
tremely funny in those days. Dis
tances were estimated, with weird
results, and "countryman's miles"
became famous. But 1t made little
Inference, after all. No one travel
ed very far, and everyone knew the
local highways.
The automobile changed these
conditions. District, county and
state lines meant nothing to the tour
list, for few hours would take the
slowest driver into unfamiliar terri
tory. Without proper guide signs he
was lost, and his remarks about I'M
progressive communities that failed
to provide proper direction to travel
ers were disparaging, to say the
least.
1t takes time to mark the high
ways of state as sparsely settled
as Idaho, but county commissioners
and state officials are cooperating in
an effort to guide and protect the
tourist
These signs, both directory and
warning, are expensive, and every
one recognizes that they are abso-
1utely essential to the safety and con-
venience of the travelling public. Yet
no sooner are they in place than all
the vandals in the country get into
action.
Small boys, and some who are no
longer small, strive to perfect their
Workmanship by throwing stones
at these high class targets until the |
enamel surfacing is so broken and |
as to be illegible. Others
shoot holes through the signs, though |
where the sport comes in is a mys-
terry. 1t is just about as exciting |
as wasting ammunition on a toma-
to can.
Still others, drivers this time, gain
extreme satisfaction by running SO
far over into the ditch that they
knock over the whole sign, post and
all. These undesirable citizens
achieve results much quicker than
the marksman of rock and rifle, for.
while denied or punctured sign
may still be Of some service, one that
Is lying upon its side Is no value
whatever.
1t is impossible, with limited po-
lice protection, to save the signs I'M
less the travelling public, those who
ire the most vitality interested, lend
heir cooperation. If motorists will
report every case Of damaged signs,
Or of posts knocked over or bent
askew, the work of both county and
state officials will be made much
sasier. It might even result in the
capture and punishment of some OF
.hese vandals, with most excellent
effect on the others. California has
adopted this system, with the result !

GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHES
NEW AIR MAIL SERVICE

The United States government
started a daily air mail service be-
tween New York and San Francisco
on the first of July. The schedule
calls for the trip west to be made
in "a hours and As minutes, and the
trip east in 80 hours and 5 minutes
The planes will travel day and
night and carry six hundred pounds
OF mail as the maximum load. II
there is more than that amount
ready to be forwarded another plane
will take it. Planes will leave Salt
Lake City every day at 1920 a. M,
going west and at 2:15 going east.
The route followed will be New
York City, Bellefontaine, Pa, Cleve-
land and Bryan, Ohio, Chicago, Iowa
City, Omaha, North Platte, Cheyenne,
Rawlins, Rock Springs, Salt Lake,
Elko and Reno, Nevada, and San
Francisco.
1t is the plan to have each plane
go back and forth over it's own To-
cal section, and mail carried by plane
will require extra postage as does
the special delivery letter originally
eight-cent stamp with the picture
of bike on it. In case of the air
service, an eight cent stamp carries
the letter across one zone, and there
are three zones, the lines running
north and south through Cheyenne
and Chicago. A piece of mail car
ried from Idaho to New York will
require "a cents for each ounce or
fraction thereof. A letter to Chica-
go will take sixteen cents, to Chey-
enne, eight cents.
A letter sent from Idaho to Dem
yer, for example, will go as quickly
by rail for two cents as by air for
eight, perhaps quicker, because there
will be some delay in transferring it
from rail to plane at Salt Lake, and
another delay transferring from
plane to rail at Cheyenne.
A letter sent from Idaho to De-
troit would go to Sal. Lake by train
and to Chicago by plane and from |
there to Detroit by train. Under the
present air service it would be carried !
one shift or section by plane and
then carried by train, the idea being
to speed up the mail and overtake
train that left the starting point sew
eral hours ahead of the plane To
receive this speeding up, letters did
not require a special postage, but
under the new arrangement nothing
will go aboard the plane excepting
mail that has the special postage and
bears the mark, Special air mail
service" and it is put into special
packet at point of origin SO it gets
quick transfer. Any postage stamp
is good for this service. so long as
it bears the right amount of them.
The government is preparing a spe-
cial air mail stamp, and when post
offices are supplied with them it will
not be necessary to write the line on
the envelope. The picture on the
stamp will identify 1t to the routing
clerks in the post offices. |

The social phase of the problem of
punishment Is more complex. Judges
and juries have the interest Of society
at stake. The nature Of the punish
ment must be such as to lessen crime
rather than aggravate it. There is
much debate as to whether capital
punishment deters crime. Quite
probably it does not, if history is any
criterion to go by.
At one time in the history of Eng
land a criminal might have suffered
capital punishment if he committed
any one of 200 or more offenses.
Civilized nations have used the most
barbarous forms of punishment to-
engender fear in the minds Of the
lawless, but never with any marked
degree Of success, probably for the
reason that one intent upon commit

punishment, but of how he will escape

Higher justice treats in terms OF
the individual. Human justice strives
to satisfy the injured, the one who
has wrought the injury, and the So
ciety who will be affected one way on
another by the court decision, all in
the same verdict
The opinions we have heard ex-
pressed convey one or the other of
these three phases of justice as adj
ministered by the state Frequently
they aim at a compromise where a
degree of justice will be awarded to
the criminal, the injured and the So
ciety at large. We are troubled a
great deal in striving to arrive at a
fair judgment which will incorporate
these three phases of justice, and
more often than otherwise fail to
satisfy all parties concerned, and as
often fail to satisfy any.
