HISTORY OF
THE DISTRICT
A Discussion Of Investigate
ing Committees Report

The inquiry instituted by the peo-
Me into the condition of the affairs
',f the Pioneer Irrigation District
was a very proper and very timely
sten There was reason for a feel
inc Of uneasiness, although the pro-
vocation was not as great as many
seemed to consider it. From the
criticisms and complaints, it could
ne inferred that people had suffered
for water for years in consequence
Of the inability or Indifference OF the
District management; that work
which should have been completed
wears ago was still lingering, and
that most satisfactory conditions
had been turned into calamltous
conditions by virtue of the organiza-
ton OF the District.
LET Us examine the facts: the
Pioneer Irrigation District was not
organized ready for business until
about April I 1902. All that could
possibly done to provide for irriga
ton that season was to clean out
the canals. The year before, the
canals had been taxed to their ut
most capacity and the owners had
refused to contract the delivery of
more water. The agricultural de-
velopment of the country east as
toras Nampa, west to the Pipe
Line Gulch, north to the Boise Riv-
er and south to Deer Flat ridge had
come to a full stop. The entire
acreage under cultivation IN all
that area of about $4,000 acres
was not to exceed 5000 acres. Mr..
Sebree, owner of the Caldwell can
al, not only would not contract the
delivery of more water, but had re-
fused to contract the delivery OF
any. He said, Il will put the can
al in the best condition l can and
do what I can to keep water in it.
If you get any, I shall expect you
to pay for it, if you don't, shall be
sorry but will not be responsible ir
damages. Mr.. Bradbury, owner o.
the Phyllis, contracted with those
to whom he had delivered water il
former years, but would not binc
himself to supply new lands
Both canals had reached their limit
This was the situation, when OF
April 1st 1902, tho canals Wer'
turned over to the District. Itwil
be remembered that in 1901 thu
Phyllis canal suffered a serious
break necessitating the turning on
OF water for Is or 10 days. The
fact of the matter was that the Phyl
Ills was physical wreck and in a
year or two more would have gone
all to pieces. For several years pre-
vious the Caldwell had been run il
sort of go as you please way, and
had quit delivering water to tn
south side of Caldwell altogether
This was the condition of affair
when the District was organized
and nothing had happened tc
change it when the District tool
charge of the canals on the first da,
OF April 1902, except that about
1000 acres more land was seede,
and demanding water. The ques
ton which confronted the Distric
management was how to make can
ais carry more water than the
could possibly hold. They tried t
accomplish that feat, and the Ply
lis canal gave way under the strair
The management did not want t
attempt the impossible but the pre-:
sure was so great that they had
do it or face instruction.

DIED SUDDENLY.
kssi Farmer Of Hope Valley Expired While
Leading Cow From Pasture.

Hope Valley was stirred wedneday af-
ternoon by the sudden death of Peleg
Matteson. an aged farmer OF that COM
mnity.
Mr. Matteson, who was 81 years old. had
been in poor health for some time.
Shortly after noon Wednesday he left his
homo to go to boiling spring" but a
short distance away. As he had not re-
turned by o'clock search was In
stituted. At o'clock his body was
found In a pasture a few steps from the
house occupied by william A. Mstteson.
The supposition Is that he had attempted
to lead his COW home and had fstigued
himself so that his strength deserted him
and he fell dead in his tracks.
Medical Examiner Edwin T. Knew
viewed the remains. suggested that death
was due to natural causes, and that Mr..
Matteson was daezd by a preliminary
shock. as the COW he was leading was
not his own property.
Mr. Matteson is survived by n widow
and two daughters. Mrs. Mary NJ Nichols
and Mrs John J. Greene, residents Of
this village, and a son. David L. Matte
son of Grass Valley. Cal.

Che girl heard nothing and oblivious OF
her danger stepped into the space be-
| tween the tracks. The motormsn jammed
his brakes as hard as he could and the
| greet car shook at the sudden shut down

| the girl while yet the speed was fairly
| rapid and she was thrown Violently to
| the ground Under the car she went but
