Mai. J. b. Dennis returned from
Bloomfield Weinesda! evening where
lie had been attending Circuit Court
He informs us that he had seven OF
eight cases brought from the Circuit
Court TO cur Common Pleas Court.
This Is something new, but he
states that the proceedings are re-
gular. These cases, being appealed
TO the Common Pleas, are like thu
several cases of r~eceivership recently
passed upon in this Court. 1t seem,
that the Common Pleas Court has
power hitherto unknown and that
these dormant powers are being
aroused and put in force. 1t appears
that our judges and attorneys have
until recently been afraid to risk
themselves In the cases above cited
in our Common Pleas Court.

The closing part OF his speech from

of the Payette, but possibly the canal
now on the south side will be enlarged,
and a f1ume thrown across the river to
convey water to the north side We have
nc definite knowledge of the tract of land
proposed to cover, but presume that it IS
an immense fat near Emmett. 1t is said
that the canal will be much larger
than the big one on the south
side which cost upwards of $780,
0Oo. Therefore 5000, 900 is a con-
seryative estimate of the cost of the new
enterprise. In the neighborhood of 100,
900 acres of land will be covered and re-
deemed. 1t is hardly possible to estimate
the influence thai such work Will have
on this section of the country, but this
much is evident, as the Tribune has said
all along, Canyon county is destined to
be the most thickly populated and pros
porous county in the state. We have
been promised particulars with respect to
this stupendous enterprise in a few days,
and Will take pleasure in promptly adj
vising the public. At present we can
only say that the project is in the hands
OF substantial men, well able TO carry it
