CROP IS
READY To MOVE
July 20 Will See Big
Movement Under
Way

Potatoes will begin moving out OF
aldwell and the tributary producing
districts about July 20, according to
'uyers who are beginning to arrive for
he big annual movement. Few scat
ering cars are already beginning to
nd their way to market. But in gen.
raj, the crop is yet too green Tor

lays will find it in excellant condi-

With prospects bright Tor marketing

ng the crop movement by a rcpres-
.ntative of the United States bureau
If markets. The Office will be opened
.,bout July 20 at the Commercial club
rooms.
Cars are plentiful this year, il is
said. This is fortunate because the
.rop gives every indication OF being
moved in full within 80 days OF the
tart OF the movement. Al this un-
'sual rapidiiy CT movement will be
luc TO the water shortage and the
act that producers will find it advis-
,blc to get the tubers out OF the
round and rolling just as quickly as
hey can
In ordinary years. farmers are IN
lined to hold their potatoes for bigger

Enactment OF the reclamation fac;

the first order OF business at the Dec

hn hour OF convening. according 4
l.. J. Magee. secretary OF the Pay
eite-Bose Water Users association
who returned this week from Wash
ington.
With the measure already passed by

in the senate in the closing minutes
OF the session. it is only necessary
to bring il up Immediately the con
gress convenes. This step will bc
taken in the senate by Senator Borah
Mr.. Magee says. while Speaker Gi'
let,e OF the house has promised 4
sidetrack any effort to recall the mea-
sure to the house for reconsideration
until the senate can act. Sentimen,
in the senate is clearly favorable to
the bill. Mr.. Magee says and there
should be no difficulty in railroadins

Hectic scenes marked the closing
hours of congress. according to MIR
Magec. 1t was not until the hour o.
adjournment as close ai hand that
congress go, down to work but thing'
happened in a hurry then. With
President Coolidge's support. the re
clamation measure managed to squeeze
through the house when Mr.. MageC
says there is much opposition to it.
As the measure stands. a sizable
appropriation is included for work OF
he Owyhee project. Passage OF the
bill also insures this project.

LAKE CITIZENS
HAVE GOOD CASE
Westcott S avs Mccall
Right in Fighting
Storage

That Mccall citizens arc justified
in fighting the proposal to use Pay
cite Lake as IN irrigation storage
site. is the opinion OF {. ]. Wes.co;'
Who spent last week at the popular
summer resort.
The Lake is four feet above the
normal summer water line" Mr.
Westcoit said. There is not beach
on the lake for use by summer tour
SITS. And water surrounds many fine
pine trees until he is certain that
many OF them will die.
This Is foot cut in the water line
loes not mean that the water will
-ecede that far. it means a perpend;-
'ular drop il the plans as now out
ined are followed. That reduction III
he lakes water supply will leave the
lock at Mccall 800 feet form the
water line. Not one sandy beach will
-emain for late summer tourists. Mud
lone will line the lake.
II believe that Payette Lake is an
asset 10 Idaho greater tnan any irri-
CATION district. In FIVE years. with its
popularity increasing, that summer re-
'ort will be OF tremendous value to
IDAHO. Any policy which contem-
'laies harming its scenic value is a
'hort sighted one.
There are other water storage sites
in the Mccall territory which can
e readily used for that purpose. Git
zens there are willing and anxious
assist in locating those storage
'i,es and providing full engineering
Information relative to them.

Southwest a o-Scatte
thundershowers occurred in a few To-
calities, but for the most part the
drought continues unbroken. The
warmest weather of the season was
experienced during the irsi half OF
the week. The closing days were
pleasant. Intense sunshine and occ-
casional hot drying winds affected
most vegetation adversely, particularly
in the dry farm sections and those
irrigated districts where the water
supply is short, but corn and potatoes.
where well watered, grew rapidly.
The cereals, which were filling and
ripening, were shriveled by the heat
in many localities. The low range
has dried so rapidly that livestock
are being forced into the high range
much earlier than is usual. Apples
md prunes are developing rapidly. II
the Twin Falls section beans were
damaged by heat in some fields and
sugar beets were injured by cut worms

years the Chinese have contributed

which forced them into special dis.

authorities OF Sonora would refuse to

Of six different layers OF bosses, one

The large majority or workers in the
plant, those who receive the least
wages, and who do the meanest, most

The girls work at long benches,

Several hundred girls, in the small

some Of the girls in this department
how much they make. They answered
! $40 per one hundred.
1t was the lunch hour when went
thru the coil department, and yet al
most half of the girls were working
at top speed. One girl, who was work
ing during her lunch hour, said she
could make 106 coils a day. Her pay
for a ten-hour day, with only five or
ten minutes for bite to eat at lunch
time. was thus 1928 and her average
weekly wage, provided she worked
every lunch hour aud on Saturday
afternoon, was $19.14.
Smell Of Burning Rubber.
Other departments which carefully
inspected were places where girls
worked at hard rubber parts Of the
telephones. The smell of burning hard
rubber here was enough to knock a
strong man down. The effect on young
girls who work in the plant eight and
nine hours day, must be permanent.
