They advertised for bids to con¬ struct this system. They awarded the contract to John Heller ot N'ewark, N. J., and engaged Clyde Potte to supervise the work. This system was completed and put In operation in the fall of 1912.
The State Department of Health when granting permission to the Sewerage Company to operate their system did so through the Borough, making the BoBrough responsible for the faithful per- formapce by the company of cer¬ tain regulations as stipulated In the permit, also specified that no sewer lines from any other section br installed to drain the original p'ant before ohtainlng permission from the State.
In lf>14, the council decided to make permanent Improvements on South Main .street. .Some of the property owners approached the sewer company to lay sewer lines fo relieve them of the unsanitary conditions that exi.sted at the time. The sewer company agreed to this providing the Borough would grant them permission to do so before making permanent im¬ provements and enough property owners would agree to connect with their system to defray exv penses.

NAZARENE WRITES INTERESTINGSTORY WHILE IN IDAHO
The following Is a communica¬ tion from Mrs. W. Cal Nickel, wl(o »pent a few weak*' vacation ia'~I4Aro vlalttag lt«r hretkat and
points ot   int*re*t    through   our western states.
Idaho, an Indian name, means ¦gem on the mountains." When the morning sun flrst rests upon a certain mountain it produce* the daasllng brilliancy ot a great gem on tbe mountain top.—the inspira¬ tion of the name.
Our very first breath of Idaho air was pure and invigorating. It came from tbe snow-capped peaks surrounding us on all sides. It the climate of Idaho were on the market it would exceed the value ut all our invested capital in banks, farms, merchandise, busi ness blocks, and live-stock. Its dividends are declared In health and pep.
Poeatello was the terminus of our ticket. From there we drove ly automobile to Albion.—the old¬ est town in southern Idaho, and at [¦resent the home of the Stats Xormal School. Our entire drive was through a desert region. There wa^ not a tree in sight.— iHily the sturdy dw-.^rf sage-brush iireeted us on every side. The '.ndless stretch of apparent waste was broken only by a sheepherd e!'s wagon and his flock of sheep iiften numbering 5000. Occasion .illy we passed a deserted shack !l:at some noble soul had pt one •me built, believing that tlirough i>atience and labor he could make a home and prosper. He dil not know^ the utter lack of moi9ture tor that region had not been re¬ claimed.
We^jpassed through American Falls. "hS'site of the second lars- est artificial dam in the world. It :< at present under construction. When 44ris finished it wiil furnish iirigation wafer for a circumfer¬ ence of SO mile*. Thousands of 4cres of arid land will he made iiabltable aud bloom with prosper¬ ous sugar beet and wheat flelds. The entire town of American Falls lias been nuv.ed in order to make llie mammoth construction possi- lile.
When we had driven fur iiea -ly 1''^   miles   of   desert   we   ¦suddenly 11 line  upon  an   irrigated     -section it'eming with  life    and     hountiful I crops.    T'lis is known as t!ie Min- I fiidoka Project.   The water (or the ^l.ind ia raised 100  feer  from   the I ."^iiake  River hy means of electric pumps.    One million acre.-* are Ir¬ rigated iiy one foot of water for an entire season,—this is eiiual to 12 inches of  rainfall.     The   l;ind     i> very fertile and e.specinlly ad.ipted II/ the growth of alfalfa, potatoes, sugar   beets,    and     wheat.     11047 (Continued on Page Tlireei
