Big Airship viii
Tour North Pole
L. S. Ship VIII Start
Next Spring From
New Jersey

The present official plan for the trip
OF the United States giant airship
Shenandoah to the North Pole next
spring, is to have the ship start from
Lakewood. New Jersey. sailing South
TO Fort Worth. Texas. a distance OF
ll9l miles. where the FIRST stop will
be made. The second stop will be at
San Diego. zoos miles: the third stop
will be at Seattle. 1900 miles. Then
will come Nome, Alaska. 1914 miles
From Nome the great dirigible will
sail TO Point Barrow. OPS miles. From
Point Barrow the immense ship will
go straight for the pole. lil7 miles.
but as the terminal facilities are not
good at the latter point the ship will
have to keep going until il reaches
Spitzenberg. 640 miles further on.
where a landing will be made 1t will
be seen that the final fight is l757
as far as from Seattle to
Nome From Spitzenberg the Shcn-
andoah is likely to return by way OF
the Pole in a longer route that bears
farther north. and which will be 2200
miles to Nome OF course there are
a great many difficulties to overcome.

FOR BIC SHOW
IN CALDWELL
Preparations Complete
For Annual Poultry
Exhibit Next Week;
Watch Weather

With two or three days to go be-
fore the show formally opens. every
thing is in readiness for the third an.
nual Gem State Poultry association
exhibit All coops were in position
Thursday with room enough for every
bird that will be brought in. AS was
true last year, the turkey exhibit pro-
misses to be feature OF this years S
show New steel coops will house
these birds.
Directors of the show are casting
anxious eyes on weather forecasts for
next week. Cold weather will keep
many birds away, it is feared, and
certainly will cut down the attendance
at the show. Reports Thursday from
the coast indicated a general break up
of the storm and warmer weather was
predicted.
Feeling that perhaps some local ex-
hibitors might be scared away from
the show because some exhibitors
from distant points are coming in this
year, R. T. Hurtt, association secre-
tary, Thursday declared that local
producers need feel no apprehension
on that score.
Even il every exhibitor from Wash
ington. Oregon. Utah and Montana
who have indicated that they will be
here, come with birds the entry list
will not be large. Not one of them
will send more than a few birds and
most of them will be represented with
only one or two fowls. In the aggre-
gate, the showing will be negligible
Prizes that they will take will be small,
even should every outside bird win.
This is a Boise Valley show. for
nome producers. And we want home
producers to bring their birds.
The show opens next Monday and
continues through Friday. Features
IF the week include a free luncheon

BOARD
APPROVES PLAN
Contract with City water
Distribution Effective
January 10

Wednesday evening, just one week
before the city is to formally take it
over the board OF directors of the
Pioneer Irrigation district ratified the
contract with the city OF Caldwell for
distribution OF Pioneer water within
the city limits by the Caldwell munich
paity. City operation begins next
Thursday but actual operation will.
of course, not start until the irrigation
season of 1924.
Ratification of the contract by the
Pioneer board was merely a routine
matter Not more than 10 minutes
was taken for consideration by the
board, individual members having al
ready studied and committed them
selves to the plan.
Councilman l. A. Harmon has been
largely instrumental in negotiating the
contract with the Pioneer district and
at a special council meeting held De-
cember 2l, he was authorized to con-
tinue work on the city irrigation water
distribution problem. Accordingly,
Lawrence Porter, assistant city engin-
eer. is already working out detailed
plans for ultimately putting the irri-
CATION water system under ground.
Maps for the work. together with
estimates as to its cost. will be pre-
pared by Mr.. Porter at once and sub
mitted to the city.
This plan does not contemplate a
new bond issue 1t is the belief OF
Mr.. Harmon that savings from the
operation of the water system by the
city through the street and water de-
partments and cooperation in every
respect. will aggregate a neat sum.
Added to this, if the underground plan
is feasible at all, will be slight special
assessment over a period of years to
pay for the construction OF an un-
pressure distribution sys-
tenn. Mr.. Harmon is of the opinion
that sufficient funds can be accumu-
lated in FIVE years to begin construc-
ton.

Canyon county. Idaho. doubled its
hog production in 1928 over 1922 and
there is every reasin to expect 1924

cashier OF the Western National bank
OF Caldwell. Caldwell is in an irri-
gated district and its farmers are
mainly engaged in growing hay. live
stock and dairying.
'Dairying is a thriving activity"
said Mr.. Mccarthy. I'VE have two
creameries in Caldwell and shipments
last month from only one OF them
reached 100000 pounds of buttcrfa,.
worth 40 to As cents a pound. This
goes mainly to California markets,
although one car has been shipped to
Chicago and proved profitable
"The more people they get in Cal
ifornia, the bigger market we in the
Pacific northwest will have for our
form products. 1t is a market close
at home and steadily taking more
stuff"
Mr.. Mccarthy states that farmers
on irrigated tracts are expecting re-
lief from the government in extend
ing their payments.

MAIL DELAY IS

Caught somewhere in the pre-
Christmas mail jam. the proposed new
contract between Boise project set
tiers and the department OF the in
terror, negotiated recently by Miles
Cannon and the Payette-Boise Water
Users association board or directors,
but last week reached Washington.
This fact is taken as sufficient ex-
PLANTATION for The delay in action by the
department OF the interior on this set
tlement which Mr.. Cannon and repre-
sentatives Of the project settlers ap-
proved and recommended to the bu-
reau OF reclamation and department
OF the interior as fair and equitable
settlement OF local project problems.
The precious contract arrived a,
on December 2S. despite
the fact that it had been mailed by
Mr.. Cannon from Fallon. Nevada,
December 2. The contract was put in
final from following Mr.. Cannon's de-
parture from the Boise project. for
warded TO him at Fallon. Nevada, and
from there sent to Washington with
MS signature OF approval.
Mr.. Cannon. in writing l.. J. Ma
gee. secretary of the water users asso-
,iation, OF these facts, added that his

red only the most sympathetic re-
lction toward reclamation project
problems in the west and felt that
here should be no anxiety here as to
he proper adjustment OF the Payette-
Boise project problem.

Wages Good; Little
Unemployment; In
dustry Breaks Record

Washington-In 1923 the United
States has witnessed the highest total
productivity and movement of COM
modities since the war, according to
Secretary OF Commerce Herbert Hoo
yer. He says there has been full
employment, high real wages. greatly
increased savings, large additions to
home building. and the largest in
crease in railway equipment since the
war" Mr. Hoover also asserts that
'the whole has been accompanied by
a remarkable absence of speculation,
consequent over-accumulation of con-
sumable goods, or dangerous expan-
sion OF credit As we are not in
boom we can expect freedom from
a slump"
Farming in l923-lo24
A review of the past year by the
Department of Agriculture says that
considering money return we find
that the value OF most crops are great
er than in 1922. The total values OF
all crops is II per cent greater. The
values OF the wheat, rye. rice. clover
seed, cranberry. peach and pear crops
are below 1922: in the case of wheat
ii per cent below The values OF all
other important crops arc greater.
