NOTES ON IRRIGATION.

Some of the irrigators in the Pho
neer Irrigation District have been
inclined to differ with the Board of
Directors in respect to the wisdom
of acquiring the Caldwell canal.
Recent experience ought to con-
vince them of the wisdom of secur-
ing that canal. We are now in
the midst of the low water season,
and practically all of the water that
can be drawn out of the river into
the Phyllis is being taken; yet
there is not enough of~it to reach
the lands in the lower end of the
district. Enough water, though,
seeps back into the river between
the Phyllis and the Caldwell canals
to provide good big stream for
the latter. If the district should
not own the Caldwell canal that
water would be lost to it and the
lower end of the district would suf.
fer seriously. BY owning the
Caldwell the district will have a
double advantage.
When the Sebree canal was un.
der complete control of pri-
vate corporation, water cost the
farmers from $3.50 to s2.oo per
acre. The farmers put $25, ooc
worth of work into the canal and

THE LAST ESTATE.

The Caldwell Record is awaken
ing to.a full realization of the dis
NAL fact that it has reached the last
stage of impotency. 1t is the sole
surviving relic of a lost cause-a
thing, having lived beyond its
time, has no place in the present
nor hope in the future. Yet, we
cannot lay its pitiful state to its
own election. 1t has bravely and
errnestly struggled to escape the
melancholy predicament into which
it has fallen. With every quarter
of the moon, it has changed its at
titude in respect of some question
or person in a desperate endeavor
to get on to the winning side. 1t
has rallied against Democracy and
fondly pressed it to its bosom. 1t
has shouted for expansion and JOY
fully fell upon the neck of the
contractionists. It has hooted at
Populists and painted for their EN-
brace. It has denounced 1awless-
ness and now b1issfu11y reposes in
the arms of anarchy. 1t has 'ele-
waited Governor Steunenberg to
reverentally gaze at his figure, and
then kicked him over to drag him
in the dust. 1t has loved Bartlett
Sinclair with soulful devotion and
now regards him with consuming
hatred. It has burst forth in
praiseful acclaims of w. E. Borah
and now sneers at him. It has
magnanimously offered to turn it.

date for high Office on the Demo
cratic ticket. And, now, finding
itself, an enervated outcast, 'sus'
pected, discredited and despised
like superannuated strumpet, il
derives a miserable consolation from
cursing and slandering everything
and everybody less degraded thar
itself. But as it is as impotent tc

would be cruel to interrupt it il

SAD CONSEQUENCES OF FUSION

For IS long years the face of the
Idaho World has been as familiar
to us as Our own reflection and
while upon occasion it has deemed
it wise to disagree with us touch
ing questions of public policy, we
have always regarded it as sim
cere, truthful journal, therefore,
we are distressed beyond expression
to find in it what appears to be a
deliberate departure from veracity.
In criticism of Judge Heyburn's
Interpretation of the Republican
platform published in the World
of August 9TH, we find this Ian
guage: 49,
"But the great sage of
sages-mother of the sun and
grandmother of the moor--as
Dooley would say--has spoken,
and since he has spoken the light
weight dispensers of bogus wisdom
the CALDWELL TRIBUNE, Mullen
Mirr0r, ct al--have held their
peace. They are as silent as the
tomb and too full of regrets for fur
Their utterance for the present.
They were too previous and too
precipitate and spoke before the
great Solomonic seancer, seer and
revelator had opened his mouth,
and they put their foot in it." AS
soon as they recover they will make
amends for their undue haste, and
bowed down with weight of grief
will kneel before the great and only
one, make a low bow and humble
salaam or two and in meek, tremb-
ling tones, beg forgiveness for theil
monstrous ofense in speaking be,
fore the great sage had spoken, and
will publish to the world the fac
that they spoke not only not wisely
but too soon"
The inference that The TRIBUNE
is absolutely subservient to Judg,
Hepburn might have been justified
if the fact of silence, as stated By
the Worid, were true, but the fac
is absolutely false. The correspond
ence between Bartlett Sinclair ane

Certain Democratic papers are
trying to work off a little campaign
sophistry that causes thoughtful
people to smile. Here is their
proposition: The Republican
party has announced a principle
which, if correct, amounts to con,
demnation of the permit system,
hence, it follows that the Republi,
can party is opposed to law and or
der. That is as if one should say,
the laws of Idaho do not permit OF
excessive or cruel punishment fol-
offenses against, it which is in cor.
domination of the thumb-screws and

20 years, and at the end Of the
time the farmers will own the whole
business and the rate will fall to 20
cents per acre.
It is probable that the petition of
the Board of Directors of the Pio-
neer irrigation District, praying to
have all its proceedings examined,
approved and confirmed, will be
heard by Judge Stewart at the
Boise term of court on the nth of
September.
1.-THE experience Of so years of
irrigation in Utah and upwards of
80 years in Idaho is worth any
thing, it teaches that the surest
and swiftest way for farmer in the
arid belt to multiply the value OF
his farm is to secure safe and lib
era1 water supply.
The question is asked, how will
it be possible for farmers, without
business experience, to furnish wa
ter as cheap1y under the district
plan as experienced men are doing
under the private ownership planI
The answer to that question will be
found in hundreds of places in thi:
State. Particularly, it will b.
found under the settlers ditch a

Gus other places. 3 u

Tl4E PROBLEM SOLVED.

RI
In the course Of a profound dis
QUESTION on idaho Democracy
wherein the Lewiston Iri6une la
bors to demonstrate in metaphys-
ica1 soft Of way that the thing IS
not quite as bad as it looks, it picks
up this cruin of comfort:
There is reason to believe much Of
the ticket can be saved by q timely
honcst and wholesome reliance on the
good sense and conscience of the reo-
pie, bnt there Is also some Of the ticket
I that possibly caLnot and ought not 70
be saved II the party expects to contin-
ne to ask for public support By virtue
OF its rectitude and its fidelity to put
lie duty.
THERE'S suspicious, aye, treach-
erous absence of specification in the
Lewiston papers injunction. Tas
ken in connection with the rest of
the article it conveys an intimation
to the SteunenbeTg faction of the
Democracy that neither good sense
nor conscience will he violated if
that part of the ticket called some"
should be lost in the excitement Of
the campaign. If, for example, by
some inadvertence, there should be
a paucity of Dubois men on the
Democratic legislative ticket, it
could not be'regarded as misfortune
without mitigation, because it would
follow as the natural result of "a
timely, honest and wholesome re-
lance on the good sense and con,
science ofthe people" Again, that
same sort of reliance III the good
sense and conscience of the people
would probably leave julie Bassett
few buttons short, and that could
hardly be accounted a calamity il
the Democratic party expects tc
continue to ask for public support
by virtue of its rectitude and it's fl
deity to public duty" The mar
with a keen scent, like the Hon
Callistus Wellington Cooper, begins
now to smell a mice. Mr.. Dubois
nomination for Senator in Congress
is liable to be rendered mucous by
the ''rectitude" of the Democratic
party; and the public career of thu
Hon, julie Bassett may be painfully
abbreviated by virtue of the Demo
cratic party's fidelity to publi
duty. 1t occursto us that the Lew
iston Tribune has arrived at tn
happiest imaginable solution of
perplexing problem. 1t points GU
clearly how both Dubois and Bias
sett may get their deserts withou
any infractiono of political good faith
These eminently patriotic gentle
men certainly can have no objec
ton to entrusting themselves to tn
good sense and conscience of tn
people," and if, woe betide it, the
should not be saved, they would b
able to ahundantly console them
selves with the reflection that
was the decree of the Democrat
party, guided by rectitude and f
deity to public duty, that worke
their downfall.
