beautiful scenery of the Lakes too.
He says it rained and showed four
days while he WAS there. He met
many old friends out camping; a.
mong others talented young Doc
tor looking for a situation. After
stopping at all the towns in the up
per country he concluded to locate
at the fourshing little town of
Sweet. He is to have a novel way

Mr.. Whitney of Psyette was in
our town the other day with a sur
veying party. They were gather
ing all the information possible
concerning the New York canal
which runs through Emmett. We
were informed that Mr.. Whitney
had law suit pending in the Fed
eral Court contending against the
above said company for reduced
rates of water for irrigating pur-
poses. We would be pleased to
hear of his success; for that COM
pany under the present system of
irrigation is surely unreasonable in
its terms for water. When far
mer is compelled to deed one half
of his farm to any ditch company
for the privilege of thereafter pay
ing $3.50 per acre per year, he is
nothing more than a slave to that
company. Every American citizen
believes in that fundamental prin-
ciple of our government of being
Born free and equal but under
human Legislature all men will never
enjoy Equal rights
