DITCH PROCLAMATION.
A dig in the ribs for the private canal
companies.

Payette Independent.
To the people Of Payette Valley, who
have land on what is known as the
Bench" between Falk's Store and
Snake river, and between the p. V. |. &
w. p. company's ditch and Payette
river:
We intend constructing canal or
water ditch for the purpose OF irrigating
our land. The survey and location of
ditch, with estimate Of cost, will be
made In a short time. We will then in
form you what the actual cost OF con-
struction Of the ditch will be. Then
those wishing TO join in the enterprise
can do 50, and obtain water for their
land by contributing either labor, mater
ial or money, for their portion Of con
struction, and receive paid shares OF
capital stock for the same.
The expenses, after construction, shall
only be the maintenance fee, levied an
nually upon the shares Of stock Of the
company
In the event Of our organizing a COM
pany, we would object to ever bonding
the ditch for any purpose.
Or to any one holding an Office (created
by the company unless he was stock
holder Of the company.
Or to any officer receiving a salary for
his services as an officer the company.
excepting as secretary or clerk, who shall
receive a nominal price for his clerical
work-such amount to be definitely spec
fled in articles of agreement.
We would favor granting privileges to
actual settlers and land owners, who are
located undee this proposed ditch-and
can irrigate their lands more economical.
ly by enlarging our ditch (after its con.
struction)-the right to do so, free Of any
charge what ever Providing, that the
work Of enlargng or increasing the
capacity OF the ditch is not done at a
time or season Of the year, that would
prevent the original owners from irriga
ting their lands, or cause failure of all
or any portion OF their crop, for the year
thereof. Our new friends can then be
come equal owners and co-workers OF
an equitable basis with us.
Our ideas are that we should have al

draw the line when it comes to paying
high priced salaries annually to officer

THE COWARDLY HOSS EDITOR.

We apologize to our readers this week
for the absence of the usual weekly
column of "Horse Notes" While this
is a great country for horses, it seems
to be hard one on horse editors. The
gentleman who left us the other week
was the third one who has come and
gone in year. Last Friday, as we were
ready to ride over to Lone Jack on bust
ness, Colonel Jim Taylor of Red Creek
ranch sent us in word to stop his Kicker
and be hanged to us. The colonel does
that same thing about once in three
months, and we ride out there, shoot
him out of his shanty and argue him into
good nature again. We instructed the
horse editor Just how to proceed and
rode away, expecting him to bring mat
tiers to the usual successful climax.
Upon our return we found him missing
and we had to 90 over to Red Creek and
lombard the colonel half day before
we could rout him out and get the par
ticuars.
lie hadn't much to tell. He had fOrti-
fled himself in the shanty, expecting us
to come out In person, and as soon as
the horse editor appeared the colonel
walked out on him and ran him into a
ravine after four or five shots. Our man
had two guns, but didn't even stop to
draw. He had taken along 100 extra
cartridges, but flung them away in his
flight, and left his horse at the mouth of
the ravine as he hunted for cover. The
colonel says he could have dropped him
with any shot, but, seeing how scared he
was, he did not shoot to kill. 1t is need
less to say that these things make us
tired. The idea of a horse editor of a
great family weekly like the Kicker
being driven into the brush to live on
roots and roost in the trees without hav-
ing fired single shot in defense of his

A VIEW OF ALlX.

It's well known that heat-racing is
not the proper preparation to tita horse
for his fastest flight of speed. When
Budd Doble set out to point Nancy
Hanks for her record-breaking mile he
began as early as April to work her with
this end in view, and from that time
until she went to the post for her trial
on her home track. September IS, 1892,
the mare was not started in a contest
against other horses for fear the ordeal
of three in five heat racing would dull
the edge of her speed. She was served
and nursed like a prima donna the sea-
son through, in striking contrast to the
way in which everyday little AliX has
been shipped about the country and
raced against the best horses on the turf,
trotting twenty miles at speed on all
sorts of tracks within the last six weeks.
That, with such Indifferent treatment
and with the most uneven rating, she
should trot so fast and with such a we'll
sustained flight at the finish of all her

full feature of her wonderful performance
at Terre Haute. In the eyes of nearly
all horsemen AliX has already eclipsed
the best record of Nancy Hanks and of
Directum, and with the day and the
track and the queenly little mare all
good" she is pretty certain to sponge
;0l from the board before the present
season ends. AliX is engaged at the
New York Grand Circuit meeting of
Sept. to 5, but the mealy footing of
the Fleetwood course is not at all suited
to her long-striding style, and she will
hardly do anything sensational here.
Later in September she will be back in
Terre IIaute for the return series in the
western-southern circuit, and it is there
that she will probably have her best
opportunity to carry the trottng record
