GOOD PROSPECTS
This report is not official in any
sense, but it believed by the writer to
be a reasonably accurate statement of
the situation.
I have at hand numerous letters
asking the status of developments of
the black Canyun Project and take
this means of supplying the informa
tion as far as I am able at the pres
ent time. The status is briefly as fol
lows: Since August, 1914, the U. S
Reclamation Service has run several
fly lines, or grade surveys, apparent
ly as tests of position, formation and
grade, for proposed ditch lines for
carrying water from the Boise river
to and upon the project.
They have surveyed out some pros
pective storage reservoir sites in the
project a,nd have made a topographic
al survey of probably half of the pro
ject. These surveys have been or are
being compiled from which it is ex
pected reports are being prepared and
placed with the U. S. Reclamation
Service Commission at Washington,
D. C.
The surveys cannot at this time be
completed nor carried to other parts
of the project by reason of insufficient
funds available.
Bills have been introduced in Con
gress a.nd provision has been asked
for funds to complete the surveys and
contract the project over to the Recla
mation Service to be built, but the
military expediencies now confront
ing the nation have required the time
of Congress and such measures as
ours have been forced to await a place
on the calendar.
Reports recently completed of the
available water supply in the Boise
river show that if sufficient storage
caji be provided to save the winter
and spring flow, there will be suffi
cient water in the Boise river for all
lands which can be reached at rea
sonable cost on tthe south side in
cluding Mud Lake, Kuna and Mad
den Butte lands, and other lands
nearby and in addition thereto there
will be plenty of water to irrigate all
of the lands of the Black Canyon by
gravity from the Boise river.
It is reliably reported that there will
be from the Deer Flat reservoir a
surplus of water sufficient to irrigate
from seven thousand to twelve thous
and acres of Black Canyon lands and
this water can not be used elsewhere,
and by using this water on the Black
Canyon lands it will tend to greatly
reduce the total cost of water to the
Boise project.
Several meetings have recently
been held for the purpose of making
investigations on behalf of the settlers
and land holders, with a view of get
ting ■* clearer understanding of the
conditions with a view of co-opera
tion between the settlers and the di
rectors of the district, also to secure
co-operation between the district and
the Water Users' Association on the
south side and other water users of
the Boise Valley, relative to a con
sistant use of all of the water of the
Boise river.
The results seem to be most en

couraging where the people are in
possession of the real facts, and all
necessary now is to have all of the
people of the Boise Valley become
fullv informed as to the facts recently
given out officially when it will be an
easy matter to get what we want from
Congress and water for our own lands
as well as for our friends south of
Nampa and west of Boise.
It is not possible to predict what
Congress will do but it is hoped some
money will be available this year to
at least make use of the surplus wa
ters from Deer Flat for 1917. This
will cover the lands north of Notus
and Parma, then we can expect the
rest after the proposed investigations
have been completed.

CALDWELL PEOPLE ATTEND
BOISE PRESBYTERY MEET
The Spring meeting of the Boise
Presbytery was held in Parma, on
Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week, and was attended by Rev.
H. H. Hayman, of the College of Ida
ho, Rev. D. A. Clemens, L. S. Dille,
Chas. S. Hawkes, and Rev. Geo. A.
Wilber, Rev. L. F. Jones of Sunny
Slope, the inspiring leader, preached
the opening sermon on Monday even
ing and presided at the administration
of the sacrament o fthe Lord's Sup
per.
On new organization Rev. G. Wm.
Barnum of the 2nd church of Boise,
was chosen moderator and Rev. A. J.
Kammar of Notus. clerk.
On Tuesday evening, Men's Bible
Class work was discussed, at a popu
lar meeting, by Messrs. Russell, Wam
sley, Kerrick and Mitchell, members of
the Greenfield Men's Bible Class of
Parma Presbyterian church.
At the same meeting the congrega
tion listened to an inspiring address
by Dr. R. M. Donaldson, of the First
Presbyterian church of Boise, on "The
Church for the Times."
The regular sessions of the meeting
were largely devoted to the annual re
view of the work of the churches of
Presbytery, to reports on the activi
ties of the church at large and con
sidering plans for the coming year.
Special attention at this meeting
was given the reports on Home and
Foreign Missions, Sunday School and
young peoples' work, and of the Col
lege of Idaho,
Most gratifying reports were receiv
ed of the rapid growth of the college
in numbers, especially of students in
the college department proper, which
now enrolls 123 members in the four
classes. The total enrollment of the
entire institution being 214.
Not a little amusement was aroused
by the reading of a sadly muddled
article in the Boise Statesman of Sat
urday, crediting the College of Idaho
with but one graduating class, in spite
of the five classes who have received
College degrees from the institution
since 1911.
Presbytery took up the matter of
more general information regarding
the splendid institution in our midst
and appointed a committee to act in
connection with the College authori
ties to that end.
Presbytery was most hospitably en
tertained by the pastor and the people
of the Parma church. An especially
pleasant feature being the social priv
ileges at the dinner a,nd supper served
to the entire Presbytery in the Odd
Fellow's hall, on Tuesday and Wed
nesday.
Presbytery at its close made ar
rangements for the early installation
of two new pastors, Rev. Gates E. M.
Young in the Nampa church, and Rev.
R. A. Finlayson at the Boise Bithany
church.

When Democratic spellbinders go
out on the stump next summer and
fall, it will be interesting to listen to
what the*' have to sav when some far
mer gets up and calls their attention
to the fact that during the 10 months
the Underwood tariff law was in effect
prior to the European war, foreign
countries shipped into the United
States more than $40,000,000 worth of
meat, and dairy products as compared
with a little more than $12,000,000 in a
corresponding period under the Re
publican tariff act. The fact is that
these imports cut the price of the
American producer, or the goods
could not have been sold in the Ameri
can market.

Fidello P. Ball, the stateliest 85
year-old man in the county, true to
his first name given him by a k' n dly
mother, came to the Hired Man one
day this week and asked where I had
lived in the South. Upon being told
that I had never lived in the real
South, he wanted to know where I
learned what I know of the southern
people. A piece in these columns a
week or two ago, delineated the south
ern character so perfectly he supposed
I must be bragging on my own land.
Mr Ball used to run a big store in
South Carolina. He did business with
a New York City firm, largely, and
when he got ready to remit he did not
go to get a draft with a thief-proof
stamp across its face but he simply
got hold of South Carolina paper
money, folded it up and put it in a
common envelope and addressed it to
the cerditors, and dropped it in the
postoffice. If he had five hundred
dollars to send, it went that way. If
he had a thousand to remit, it went
that way. If he had fifteen hundred
dollars to send off, he sent it that way.
Many fifteen hundred dollar remit
tances were sent in this way and he
never lost a dollar by it. All other
featurej of his business was done on
the same basis. He got so along to
ward the last that he did not know a
single dead beat in a county-wide
strip. No wonder the mothers got to
naming their sons Fidello. Of course
this was thirty-five or forty years ago.
Butter was not put uo so beautifully
as it is now, and the well out by the

see if the color would stick, and it
usually did, for calico makers were

you could get stuff in time to cook it
for breakfast. The colors from which
to select did not dazzle the woman

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for a trifle less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
If a cheap baking powder is used for a
fine cake and the cake turns out a failure
there is a waste of costly materials worth
more than a whole can of the cheap bak

Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore, results in
an actual saving.
