THE INTEREST
ING DISCUSSION.
Mr.. Lowell Presents Views
on Government Aid

ED. TRIBUNE-I wish to express
my hearty approval of the stand
that THE TRIBUNE and the TRIB-
UNE's correspondent are taking in
regard to the matter of thinking,
talking and thoroughly discussing
the subject of Government Recla"
nation" 1t is a matter OF the
most intense interest, not only to
every land owner and water user,
but to every resident of the Boise
valley. Touching as it does the
question of water supply, it deals
with the foundation of all our in
dustries and the limit of all our de-
velopment. The, subject can not
be too thoroughly discussed.
The communication of "Citizen"
in your last issue raises some ques-
tions that may be profitable to dis.
cuss but the statements regarding
the irrigation law passed at the last
sessions of the legislature are wide
of the mark. The law is not franz
ed on the Wyoming law, and does
not provide for "the organization Of
new courts to adjudicate rights of
all water owners and water users. !"
AS to the "new officers appointed
to be paid by the people and whose
work is practically to get the farm
ers into trouble" I know of but
three new officers, namely the State
Water Commissioner of which I
have the honor to be one. During
the past year l have drawn as full
compensation the sum of $27o, this
amount being distributed over six
counties or all average of SIS to the
county. Out Of this I have paid
my own expenses. If this sum has
been spent for the purpose of get
ting farmers into trouble it is cer-
tainly money poorly spent. but my
impression is the opposite is true.
The crop of irrigation litigation
now upon us is not the result of the
last irrigation law but the inevita-
bic result of years of confusion re-
sulting from the absence of such a
law. For instance, the present wa
ter suit on Boise river was started
before the members of the 9TH ses-
sion that passed the law had even
been nominated.
However, the discussion of the
Idaho irrigation law is not the vital
thing when we are brought face to
face with the necessity of accepting
or rejecting government aid in the
development of the Boise and Pay.
cite valleys. That is now the real
live question and one that we must
ans wer for or against in the very
near future.
An encouraging feature of the
outlook is made prominent by re
ports received from the Salt River
valley in Arizona where an organ
ization of land owners has beer
perfected and work has actually
commenced. From these report:
we find that the conditions exist
ing there are practically the same
or if anything more complicated
than those existing in the Boise
valley, and we find that they took
practically the same steps that W.
are taking and met much the same
difficulties that seem 10 confront us
That they have met and overcome
these difficulties should give u
hope.
1t seems that in considering th,
general question we should keep il
mind two or three Fundamental
considerations:
I. There is no compu1sion upol
anybody to receive government ali

t;on the President Of the United
States-President Roosevelt mind
you, the idol ofthe Boise Statesman
has reappointed H. Smith Woolley
to the office of United States AS
saver at Boise City. Shades of It'd
lie de wink! that things sho uld
come to such a pass. And two
Editors" had registered solemn
protests, had written privately to the
President that this thing he mt st
not do. But he dared and The
stars in their courses didn't say a
word. Our pipe dream, it would
seem, was not all dream; for,
verify, Woolley is lifted up and Il
great feast is proclaimed, and the
scrlbes of Boise the Beautiful and
those that were with them are effac.
ed and Of them not a grease spot
is left. Zion is redeemed and there
is 10y in all the land. Senator
Hepburn and Congressman French
and State Chairman Gooding and
National Committeeman Standrod
have prevailed over their enemies.
The men of sixteen counties have
been Joined together and the bond
is sealed.
The fight on Mr.. WooIIey was
conceived i'll anger, prejudice and
vanity; and was prosecuted in malice
and vindictiveness. The first al
tack upon him was made, ostensi-
bly,, on the ground of his being a
bishop in the Mormon church.
That was not the real objection, al
though there were those, holding
sron9 p1eludices against Mormon
ism, who took advantage OF the
situation to attack the Mormon
church through Mr.. Woolley.
Some of those were sincere, some
were misled, and many thought
they saw the approaching political
downfall of the Latter-Day-Saints
and lifted their heels to stomp those
people into the earth. When it
was shown that Mr.. Woolley was
not bishop, the noisy and mali
clous opposition changed his line of
attack. They said he was the bene-
hclary of deal by which the Nor
mons in the legislature threw their
votes to Mr.. Hepburn and elected
him United States Senator. Those
who made that charge knew that
the facts convicted them of lying.
The majority of the Mormons vot-
ed tor Mr.. Borah. But the men
who had determined to undo Mr..
Woolley were not to be turned from
their purpose by mere facts. Later
the opposition opened up all along
the line, attacking viciously every
one who had taken any part in Mr..
Woolley's appointment. Senator
Hepburn was charged with all
manner of treachery and deceit;
congressman French Jared little
better; State Chairman Goodius
came In for frequent and vindictive
excavations and Judge Standrod
was painted in the deepest dyes Of
villainy.
Inc cause of this virulent agita.
"on' the root Of all the malicious
ana Vlndlctive outpourings, will be
lound In the fact that the Boise
statesman claimed for itself the
.'sut to name the man who should
n0ld the Office of assayer. When

and he had entirely forgotten it. He
was responsible for the disaster which
had resulted both to Mrs. Fisby's prop
erty and his own rosy hopes.
The burlesque picture which the UNI
fortunate lady had drawn of her plight
would have greatly amused him had it
not been for his own cu1pability in the
matter; as it was, he took the whole let
ter seriously, and visions of Mrs. Fisby,
floating help1essly upon the surface of
weltering flood with nothing but the
cane seat of a chair between herself
and drowning. spurred him on to ac-
ton.
Desperately he seized his wet shoes
from the radiator and drew them on,
their so1es sizzling with heat Twenty
minutes found him at the scene of de-
vastation.
The front door of Mrs Fisby's resi-
dence stood open, and sluggish yellow
river flowed gently out across the porch
and down the steps. He entered and
explored the lower rooms of the house,
but found no signs of life in any part
of it.
The hall and parlor floors were under
water; water dripped and trickled
through the banisters from the hall
above, and gusts of wind came swirling
down the stairs, putting out the agents
matches as fast as he could light them.
With much cropping and stumbling III
the dark he found his way up two
flights to the attic. Here, under
sound place in the roof, stood Mrs.
Fisby. with skirts we'll reefed, holding
a kerosene lamp.
The rain pelted all about her The
dill r1iOl1t SL5v doomed black above the
rafters.
'Well, this is great motel" shouted
Mrs Fisby as the agent halted blink
ingly in the doorway. why didn't you
wait a little longer about coming, and
what do you mean to do now you have
come, I'd like to know"

hand.

I couldn't hold on an longer. Are
you all right up there?"
She was answered by a slipping, slid
ing, clutching sound that made her heart
leap into her throat-then a faint yell
arose from beyond the edge of the roof.
The agent had Unexpectedly taken
short cut to the ground, three stories be-
low.
He recovered consciousness in the
course of time, and with careful nurs-
ng the broken leg and ribs were made
whole again
In Mrs. Fisby's front parlor on lux
urious spring couch which would fold in
three places the injured man lay for six
weeks. The ruined carpet was hidden
from his remorseful gaze bv a skilfu1
arrangement of rugs, and his nurse was
the soul of forgiveness and tender de-
votion
Il didn't ever expect to fetch out this
suit again for such a purpose" said she
one morning, as she opened a box from
which the odor of moth balls arose with
empowering might. IT did my best
to get Mr.. F. to let me bury him in it.
L always think Prince Albert looks so
refined for a man to be laid out in, but
hIr. F. was just dead set that he wanted
a shroud.
why the very day he passed away I
spread out those two burying outfits on
the bed and says, Now, Mr. F., take
your choice once and for all time and
he stuck to his old idea of the shroud,
so | gave up as graceful as I could, for

the Prince Albert. 1t never did fit him
very good, but you amt quite so wide

Evidently the lady did not intend to
come down from the height of sarcasm
attained in her letter.
The agents tongue clave to the roof
of his mouth.

asked, with biting scorn, as the guilty
cause of all the havoc remained immov-
able, his feet clamped, as it were, to the
floor.
But the agent made no sign-he was
doing some strenuous thinking.
Suddenly he became new man. He
