Louis Hunziker Jeweler and Optician. 726 Main St. QoToriuncm Secures; Bite for Reser voir on Hluckfool. A settlement has at last been ef fected between Brazilla V. Clark and the government whereby Mr. Ci&rk relinquishes his rights on Tin Cup cui k. Cray's lake and Blackfool fiver, says the Idaho Falls ltegister. Mr. Clark this week received a check from the government umountlng to several tbousund dollars und BO fur as he Is concerned the uffulr Is clos ed. This means that the government will now proceed with the draining of Cray's lake, which covers some -S,-000 acres. The water will be car ried off in the spring of the year through u cut made by Mr Clark about two years ugo, ths bottom of Which Is about two and u hulf feet below the lake bed. These water with the Big und Little Blackfool rivers will ve stored In the Blackfoot swamp, about 18,000 acres In extent. When drulned, the bd of Gruy's lake will make a valuable furmlng section, its soil and climate being particularly adapted to the growing of fall grain. The surrounding moun tains include some of Idaho's finest grazing land and lies within the con flues of the Caribou forest. Gray's lake being from two and a half to 15 feet deep, there is at pres ent a great loss of water by evapo ration and seepage and this amount reservoircd In the Blackfoot swamp would probably Irrlgute 20,000 acres; the water of Blackfoot river should Irrigate 35,000 acres, making- a total of 55,000 acres which will be re claimed by this project.

Though the experimental well be ing dug on Tutuilla for the proposed cemetery water system is now down to a depth of 30 feet, water has not yet been foun'd and the cemetery com mittee la about to despair of finding water at that point. At the council meeting tonight the subject will be taken up and It Is probable that the council will decjde to try a new lo cation. When the cemetery watering pro ject was first started several council men, among them Messrs. Montgom ery and Knight, favored locating tTe well on the bottom land near the end of Webb street. They urged that by so doing the city would have greater prospects for abundant water and al so the well would be so located that the cemetery watering system could be easily connected with the city water supply In case such was ever found advisable. Also the motive power could ho easily changed from a gaso line pump to electricity. However, It was decided to try a well above the Porter ranch anil If :mplc water was not found there to try the bottom. The well now being due ' located about 150 yards above the Porter place. At first it was believed sufficient water COUld he found at a depth of 20 feel and some water was struck. HOW pver, It has since been lost and was i vldeiitly surface water from the storm that caused the recent high water In the river. ALASKAN VOLCANO SPOT i s.

This was followed bv Intervals of darkness caused by the subsidence of the volcanic action. Then again the heaven above would glow with the reflection of the light from earth's mighty furnace, making a display Of nature's fire works as lias ever been seen In this part of the world.
