WoRLD:--From the free and con-
t'nuous rain fall this spring, the wise
men OF Idaho are forced to believe
that the new State Of Idaho has en-
tered into legitimate contract with
her older sister, Oregon, for q free

Gem. The high rates claimed by the
owners OF irrigating canals for water

clared war all along the settlement.
