AN IRRlGATION BILL.

Mills, of Bingham, has presented a
bill from the committee on irrigation
and water rights. The bill provides
that companies owning canals, reser-
voirs, etc., shall furnish a perpetual
water right to any person making de-
mand for the same for sufficient water
to irrigste all the land lying under
the canal belonging to the person
making the demand, at a rate not to
exceed $3.50 an acre. In addition to
this sum the person using the water
shall pay such an amount annually as
may be agreed upon, no contract for
such annual payment to be entered
into for a period longer than five
years. This is a good bill-good for
the irrigation companies. Two dol
lars and a half an acre ought to be
enough to purchase perpetual water
right and give capital good profit,
without annual payments thereafter
of such amounts as may be agreed
upon. If not sufficient, the amount
ought to be increased SO as to give a
reasonable profit on the capital in
vested in canals. The farmer ought
to have the privilege of purchasing a
perpetual right and freeing himself
from the clutches of the water COM
panies. If he is not able to do this
the annual water rate ought to be
fixed by law. If it is not, farmers
will be at the mercy of the corpora
tons and the latter can charge what
T ever their grabbing instincts may
dictate. That corporations have nc
soul is as true of irrigation corpora
tions as it is of all others. Thes'
corporations will charge enough TO
water to take all the profits of tn
, farmers. Or, if they figure that profit
will be greater by owning the land a
we'll as the water, this they can easll
do by charging rate the farmer
|. cannot afford to pay, and in this wa
It they can get hold of the lard at thei
= own figures. Without maximum
g rate fixed by law the farmers will b
. the slaves of the water companies
Is The result eventually will be ths
q Idaho will be cursed with mammot

HAzbgroS, Pa, May ITO James
Gillespie, OF Freeland, belongs the credit
Of beating green goods men at their own
game Gillespie is usually employed as
n collector OF commercial agency His
income nets him modest living. To
an intimate friend on last Sunday he
impaired the information that he was
negotiating with New York green goods
men, and he was going to make an effort
to beat them. He went on Monday and
returned to-day, and in evidence OF his
success now exhibits two rolls OF money.
One contains $1,000 in crisp, genuine
bank notes. The other to all appear
ances Is tho same, but on examination
shows it to BIO nothing but green paper,
Gillespie began correspondence with
green goods men q years ago, He had
a thorough knowledge OF tho methods
employed by them.
4 month ago this region was flooded
by tho green goods literature and he
received one OF their circulars. He
opened communications received code
Of signals for Identification and was in
structod to use the telegraph, Newark,
N. j., was the point to which he was
instructed to telegraph. All messages
that no received came from New York.
lie was to put in $500 and received
$1,000 OF the stuff which would "defy
detection"
1t was arranged that Gillespie should
90 to Newark, and when an early train
pulled into that city yesterday morning
Gillespie and friend alighted from 1t,
Gillespie carried a carpet bag and an
umbrella. He was met at the station
by man who had coupe in waiting.
When he introduced his friend there
was some hesitation exhibited on the
part OF the men within the carriage, but
It was not serious. After driving for
about fifteen miles the cab was halted
before hotel and the three entered.
They were here met by another man,
Again it was necessary for Gillespie to
explain that his companion had in his
clothes hard cash and was willing to
make u deal.
After being conducted to another
room, tho first man whom they met ex-
hibited and counted roll OF money
containing 81 800 His confederate sud-
denly appeared, but the patrons keptan
oye on the roll and before tho film ilam
gamc Of exchanging the money for DO.
gus paper could be accomplished Gill
lospie held the wad and offered his own
in exchange. The dealers again tried to
divert attention, but to their surprise
found themselves looking into pair OF
pistols. Believing they had been duped
by detectives, tho men made q dash for
the door In their haste they dropped
the bogus paper which was intended
for their victims. Pocketing both rolls,
Gillespie and his companion escaped
through window and arrived home
last night. This is the story he tells,
and he has both kinds Of money to
prove his words.
