Scent TO Us that a csnnery would be- a
profitable enterprise without taking into

awarded six medals for the superiority of
her various fruit exhibits at the great
Worlds Fair Just closed. and from now on
Idaho fruit will demand a better price IN
the markets Of the world and be m greater

Idaho has been awarded medals In contests
with California, Oregon. Washington and
and all the noted fruit growing states in
the Union will not be an empty honor and
there is much to be gained by this di-
stinction II the people of this state will

victim Of just such a sad condition Of
affairs. The real situation has been
numerically exaggerated and a bad mat

fects Of a universal money panic have
been quite scnsibly felt in this state. but
10 SAY that the panic has been more dis

~exaggeration which can not fail 10 meet

IRRIGATION.

The question of irrigation is one Of
the most serious problems which con-
fronts the people Of the arid regions at
this time. Not hat there is not nm a.
bundance Of good, rich land and an mex
haustible supply Of water which can be
brought on TO the land with compare
lively little expense. but that the bust
ness Of bringing the water out upon the
land is rapidly falling into the hands Of
vast corporations, as viii the land also
If the present system is continued a few
more years. The corporations are not
to blame. They are human and prone
to the same selfish desires that actuates
the rest of us TO pile up as large divi-
dends as possible in any enterprise in
which we may be engaged. And il can
not be gainsaid that they have moi ac-
complished much for the benefit Of hui
mainly and the country In general. 1t
was through their fundamentally that
the trackless sage brush plains were
made convertible into beautiful homes.
But while they have been engaged in
this philanthropic occupation they have
also had an eye to business and conduct
ed their affairs with commendable sa-
gacity, always managing to reap an
abundant harvest in water rents. Let
us commend the good they have done
and view their iniquities with "a large
degree Of allowance; but by all means
set in motion a crusade of reason that
will speedily remove the necessity for
their existence and result in the estab-
lishment of a fair and more liberal sys-
TEN, which will guarantee to ever farm
er the privilege to all the water he may
need to irrigate his own land without
eNhorbitant taxation or subsection to
the whimS and caprices Of private corpo-
rations whose sole aim is to make money.
This can be accomplished by placing
the matter wholely in the hands of the
state, and the enactment OF such laws
as will enable It 10 prosecute the work
OF the canal companies with the least
possible expense. furnishing water to
the settlers at actual cost, which IL is
safe TO say will greatly diminish the
present prices Of water. Such a change
could moi work a hardship on anyone.

NEW MAIL ROUTE.

Early in August of this year the mail
route between Emmett and Placerville
was suddenly and Unexpectedly discontin-
ued by an order from the Postal Depart
mcnt at Washington, u. c.. The reasons
for this rash act ON the part Of the u. ;.
mail officials are unknown TO the large
number Of patrons Of the route, other
than that 80 me clerk back In Washington
who perhaps knows no more about the
matter han the man in the moon. sent
out the rather doubtful Information that
the route had outlived its usefulness.
Whether he arrived at this conclusion
from the knowledge that the rout was
one OF the oldest in the state aud anything
that had been in actual use for AS long a
period OF time as this mail route, must be
more or less used up, or that the patronage
had dwindled down until il did not justify
the enormous ~ expense it entailed upon
the Government, %deponent saith not.
But certin IL is the patrons OF the route,
and they number up into the hundreds,
made repeated efforts to have the service
re-established without success. II any
one in Emmett desires 10 communicate
with a resident Of placerville. or vice
versa, is requires over a weeks time by
the nearest mail route. by the way of
Bosie, whereas II the old route was in
existence il could be consumated in a
single day. Taking into consideration
the large volume of business that was
transacted between Emmett and Placer
vile. the taking Oft Of the direct mail
service between these points was a great
injustice To the people OF both places.
and the INDEX hopes the matter will not
be permitted To continue unnoticed and
that petition after petition will be fired
into the Department until the postal
officials accede to the wishes Of the people.
In this connection We might state that
the people of Marsh, ten miles above
Emmett. were also greatly i~nconvenienced
by the d-iscontlnusnce Of the above mem
toned route and at present a petition is
being circulated and numerously signed
for the establishment Of a twice-a-week

To the people OF Emmett and the pub
lie In general, the EMMETT INDEX extends
a cordial ''howdy," and this morning
starts out upon a career which II hopes
will be fraught with success. 1t Is UNI
necessary for us TO enter into n lengthy
harangue upon the course WI propose to
pursue. suffice II TO say that we shall not
knowingly countenance OF endorse any
scheme or theory calculated to subvert
the public welfare or ieopardize the hon
or and good name OF Emmett or the
country at large. When we have occa-
sion to address ourself to political mat
tiers We shall do so from an independent
standpoint with malice towards none
The starting OF n new paper In a
new and untried field like this is an I'M
certain venture In the best Of times
when the people are buoyed up by bright
anticipations Of which flush times are
prolific incubators. Then how much
more a venture must such All enterprise
be. under existing circumstances, when
the people In general have reached the
lowest ebb Of despondency and are tot
tering upon the ragged edge Of uncondi-
tional surrender to a fate that has been

RUPTURE LIKELY.
Directors Challenge the Ma
tiOnaI Commission.
They Decide for Full Sunday Opening Ex.
cept In Machinery Hall, the Same
es on Week Days They Re-
fer the New Rule.

CHICAGO, May 19.-The directors of the
Worlds Columbian exposition decided to
abrogate their contract with congress bv
which they bound themselves to close the
fair on Sunday in consideration of an appro-
priation of $2,5O0.000. The money will be-
returned to the government and hereafter
the fair will be opened Sundays.
This course was decided upon at a special
meeting of the directors. Most of the direc-
tory were dissatisfied with the plan adopted
at their last meeting by which it was pro-
posed to open the grounds Sunday while
closing all buildings containing exhibits.
Their action was practically unanimous,
but two directors out of thirty.six voting
against the proposition. By the terms of
the resolution adopted the machinery will
be closed down on Sunday, but in every
other respect the fair will be open in all de-
partinents the same as on secular DAYS.
But 81, 929, 40 of the appropriation origi-
nally made by congress has been turned over
to the exposition company, and this amount
is to be returned to the national treasury
after the debts of the exposition have been
paid.
A rule embodying these points will be sub
mitted to the national commission for ap-
proval. What action this body will take ia
problematical, as mere working quorum is
at present in the city. In any event it is the
evident purpose of the directory to open the
fair Sundays, even at the expense of q rup-
ture with the national body.
