Aaf Well-dressed Feeling
A GOOD FITTING, nice looking shirt does more
than any other one thing to give a man that
well-dressed" feeling. There is no shirt that will
fill the bill" quite as well as a Summit Shirt. They
are made in the leading styles from high grade,
fast color materials. And, above all things, they fit.
i £
Summit Shirts
are made by a firm with a reputation as leaders in the manu
facture of men's wearing apparel. Their goods are sold in
all parts of the United States. These shirts have to be good
shirts—the manufacturers can't afford to put out any other
kind. There is a dealer in your town who handles this line.
Stop in and Took over his assortment of Summit Shirts.
You're sure to find some that will please you.

'KEEP HER NOSE
AGIN THE BANK"
By Fred It. Reed.
Many thinks are happening right
along every day that will finally re
solve themselves into action along
reclamation lines. Last year water
measurements and surveys were
made of the Snake River Valleys, and
lin is were run to discover where the
water would serve the land to the
best advantage. Fully iwenly-five
thousand dollars were expended in
surveys and detailed work, and yet
but few people know this.
AH engineers agree that the Amer
ican Falls Reservoir is a necessity in
order to store a large amount of wa
ter, it being the greatest natural re
servoir site on the lower Snake River,
Utd, if ballt on the plans talked ot,
will impound three million acre feet
! of water.
Aside from the removal of the
town of American Falls (and God
knows that little town—full of good
people too-—has had that Dam cloud
banging over them so dam long that
it is a nightmare) the lands Included
in that site are not valuable foi
farming, and no particular damage
will occur to anyone if that site is
covered with water, as only a few
farms will be affected,
All of these plans are in the lncu
bator. In a short time, within two
weeks more or less, there will be a
meeting of government, state, and
other noted engineers to discuss this
great subject and to agree on plans
that will best serve the great object,
the economic and practrcai supply of
water, using every foot to best serve
Idaho acres.
The writer is working for the recla
mation of the arid acres of Idaho and
the storage of water of all the
streams where storage is practicable.
The building of these reservoirs will
solve all problems and relieve us all,
and we can then take up and solve
our transportation problems.
A move is now afoot to make a
final survey of not only the posslbili
ties of the South Boise River, but to
seriously consider the possibilities of
Red Fish and Alturas Lakes lor addl
tional water to hgjp .solve the water
problems ol- the splendid Sunnyside
and Mountain Home districts. Prac
tical investiations are to be made of
the Payette and Weiser Rivers, and
storage reservoir sites on both of
these streams are to be located, us
ing such information as is now at
hand, so as to determine fully and
thoroughly how all flood waters now
running to waste may be stored and
used on the arid acres of these sec
tlons.
The Idaho Reclamation Association
has dreams that will come true, that
when all the good people in the vari
ous districts are fully aroused to the
realization of their needs and oppor.
tunities, a great and splendid wed
'ding of their valleys with the unap
propriated waste waters of the Snake
Boise, Payette, Weiser, Owyhee, Sal
mon and other streams will occur.
One system will join another, and
link by link a chain of posperous
farms will make Idaho surely
land good to dwell in, good for God's
children to solve their problems in.
The writer expects to see all the
irrigable country from American
Falls to and including Washington
a
County irrigated every, year by a de
pendable and absolute supply of wa

year, wet^or dry. It really makes no
difference where the money comes
from so long as the construction is
well done and all concerned get a
"square deal. The Government, the
State or private capital all look alike
to the writer. We've got the land and
water, and storage and distributing
systems can be intelligently built
What we need is the money to con.
struct with.
But it is necessary to have a thor,
ough organization by counties and
districts that will reduce their prob
lems to facts, figures, and surveys,
and then they are in shape to do
business. The Idaho Reclamation As.
sociation is undertaking this great
organization work and will succeed
if the people will support it with -
money and with.their moral support.

on the other fellow to do what is
really our business. Meaning by
that, let every man and woman in
Southern Idaho interested in lrri

or how little we can do, let's do it
and keep on doing it, and our efforts
will be crowned with success,

so long has been a faraway problem ;
rich in mineral dreams. Reclamation
always precedes good roads, and
good roads are a mighty builder.
Idaho is very fortunate in having
a Commissioner of Reclamation who
is a man of vision, who is absobing
the big idea of Idaho's reclamation
possibilities and as fast as possible
is tying the loose ends together. The
Governor of Idaho has the big re
clamation idea and is giving this
vitally important subject his best
efforts.
The Idaho Reclamation Associa
tion is one year old. By having a
salaried man on the job who has no
axes to grind or political ambitions
to nurse, who makes it his daily work
to spread the propaganda of Recla
mation at all times and in all places
in a steady earnest, courteous man
ner, with just one song, Reclamation,
that song has popularized itself in
arid and semi arid and irrigated Ida
ho in a manner most encouraging.
The writer knows that if the peo
ple say so, and work, that our dreams
will come true. The power of
state organization working in har
! mony with the Association of States
of the Far West will command a dig
nified respect in Washington. Then
join with the South who have recla

and the South working together, the

INCREASED WAGES—
DECREASED PRODUCTION.
If a business man makes improve
ments to his plant through increased
expenditures for improved equipment
he must of necessity do an increased
business to cover this added cost.
By the same reasoning as his pay
roll expense per man rises due to
increased wages, he should secure
more efficient service to offset this
added cost of operation.
The reverse has been clearly demon
strated to be the case, however. As
hours have been shortened and pay
increased not only has production
fallen off on the day's output but
hour for hour it is below the average
which prevailed before present high
wages and short hours were in effect.
Increased pay and shortened hours
instead of acting as an incentive for
better work, have brought the oppo
site result.
In high wage mining camps miners

From clever designers they have come—design
ers clever enough to have peeped into the
future, and understanding, fashioned into
footwear the unexpressed wish-thoughts of
American women!
Smart oxfords, slender boots, dainty pumps.
Some models with airy bows. Others with
Colonial touches. Many with eyelets beau
tifully worked with silk. What wonder that,
today, they're very much in vogue!
It is with pardonable pride that we invite you
to come and see our new display—with pleasure
that we anticipate your trying on the models
