CONFERENCE WILL
CONSIDER MLX-UP
ON BIG Dam BIDS
Idaho Officials Anxious for Com
pleuon OF American Falls Dam,
Says Reclamation Commission.

IDAHO STATESdAN-Difficul-
ties encountered when the first set
OF bids for the construction OF the
American Falls reservoir dam were
opened October 20. viii be adjusted
at a conference in Denver, December
J.. when DIR. Elwood Mead. commits
sioner OF reclamation. his engineers.
w. G. Swendsen, Idaho commission
er OF reclamation and X. f. Shep-
herd OF Jerome. meet and arrange
for new call for bids.
Announcement OF the conference
was made Monday by Mr.. Swendson
upon a receipt OF a telegram from
Doctor Mead.
Idaho officials and officers of the
American Falls reservoir district
represented by Mr. Shepherd, are ex-
tremely anxious to get work started
on the dam in the hope that some
storage water may be caught for the
1925 irrigation season and the re-
lection of all bids by the government
on the advice of the reclamation en-
gineers has not met with approval.
Reclamation Proposal Disapproyed
Nor has the proposal of the recla-
nation engineers that a contract be
let for the base of the dam alone and
then another contract for the super
structure. met with any more APP
proval from Idaho.
In fact, ever since the proposal of
the reclamation engineers was made
the wires between Idaho. Washing
ton and Denver have been kept hot
with protests on such a program.
In an interview Monday. Mr.
Swendsen said concerning the Den
yer conference:
What the state needs is a reser-
voir at the earliest possible date and |
at the least cost consistent with good |
workmanship. 1t is hoped therefore, |
that we can at this conference devise |
a means of cutting red tape and get
ting down to work"
Idaho officials believe that the
new call for bids should provide for
dam. base and saperstfucture. and |
hat the question Of whether the full |
sized dam or a smaller one should be /
erected on the base should be left to
the discretion of the government.
CONCERNING such an arrangement,
Mr.. Swendsen says:
Enough Money on Hand.
There is sufficient money from
government appropriations and con-
tributions from subscribing districts
TO build the base sufficiently large
to accommodate the high structure
and 10 erect thereon the low dam
providing 100000 acre feet stor-
age capacity. This quantity will
meet the Immediate needs of the
state and 1t is hoped, therefore. that
the new proposal or request for bids
will meet this condition.
The commencement OF work at
this time is highly important in or
der that earliest benefits from the
reservoir may be obtained. Interest
on funds which subscribing districts
have already raised. IS $500 a day.
IL is important. therefore. that some
benefit be derived from this invest
ment as quickly as possible. The
commencement OF work at this time
would also afford much needed re-
lief to citizens OF Idaho who are
seeking employment and would go
a long way toward relieving the ex-
listing distressed financial condition

oMy Home Town,'

In the concert hall of the Seamen's
Church institute of New York city a
motley crowd of Scandinavians, Eng
lishmen, Slays, Italians and Americans,
white and negro, were singing at the
top of their lungs.
They had sung with some fervor be-
fore, when the words Of familiar songs
were flashed on the screen, bit this
was the song that really stirred them
to enthusiasm:
Not here, not there. It's fifty miles
from nowhere. but it's my home
town.
Not here. not there. but I'm all set to
go there,
So TIL make a break and take look
in the mirror.
Where's my hat? Where's my coat?
Where's my leather bag?
Send my trunk to the place written
the tag.
Not here, not there. It's fifty miles
from nowhere. but it's my home
town.
"As you see" says the lookout Of
the institute, this Is pretty bad poetry
and the music was hardly better; but
as these men from the far corners OF
the earth sang about their home town
with that curious ring In their voices
1t almost brought tears to the eyes.
A universal note had been struck

HOW ABOUT YOU?

When Abraham Lincoln was young
man he ran for the legislature of Illi-
nois and was badly swamped. He
next entered business failed and
spent II years Of mis- life paying up
the debts of worthless partner.
He was in love with a beautiful
woman to whom he became engaged
and then she died.
Entering politics again he ran for
Congress and was badly defeated. He
then tried for an appointment in the
United States Land Office, but failed
After this he became a candidate for
the United States Senate and was de-
feated.
In 1856 hebecame a candidate for
the vice presidency, but lost the
race. In 1858 he was once more de-
feated, this time by Douglas.
In the face of all this, he eventually
became one of the cCuntry's greatest
men, if not The Greatest.
How would you stand in face of
such setbacks? Think it over

Tragedy in Lumber ToWn

There is no more pathetic story In
the history of northern Michigan than
that Of the deserted village of Jen-
nings, IL miles northeast of Cadillac,
i'm Missaukee county, says Cadillac
correspondent.
Jennings was founded some 80 or
40 years ago by Mitchell Bros COM
pany, a sawmill, flooring and chemical
plant established there, also large
general store. Hundreds of persons
came direct from Sweden to the VII
lage, where they were employed in
the mills of the company. But when
the last giant maple was cut and the
hills and valleys in the vicinity were
bare of raw material for the saws
and planners the company tore down
the big mills and moved the machinery
to Cadillac, where larger and more
modern factories were erected. The
100 or more residences owned by the
company were moved intact to Cad
illac, also most Of the privately owned
houses. Today there are only hand
full of former inhabitants left in the
once prosperous and happy village.
The chief occupation is EARNING of the
early days
These old men and women will tell
the inquiring stranger that Jennings
was the best town in the world" ex-
cepting possibly in some cases the old
home town in Sweden. Sons and
daughters would gladly bring them to
Cadillac or to other cities to which
they moved in the march Of progress,
but Jennings is their world, they pre-
fer to live and die there.-Beloit News.
