The Mary Mclean Wrecked.

The Mary Mclean. the launch
running on the Snake river between
Miner and Hepburn, was wrecked
last Sunday evening while on its
way TO Hepburn; and the two men
who were running the launch mar
rowly escaped with their lives.
The boat was coming up the
river from Miner to get l. B. Per-
rine who had been waiting for it at
Hepburn, and when almost there
the boat became unmanageable and
could not be made to go forward
but drifted down the current to the
dam when the force of the water
going through the gates, drew the
boat against the dam with terrific
force and demolished it. The loss
is $500.
As the boat passed under the
framework of the dam the two men
caught the railing and pulled
themselves to safety.

project when the engineers are
prepared to submit plans.
"Neither this office nor the de-
partment has ever announced that
water would be furnished for the
higher lands at any definite date.
'At the time when the maps OF
farm units were submitted to the
department it was stated that
water could not be furnished be-
fore 1907. Under the gravity por-
ton of the work now being con-
structed it is probable that water
will be furnished in 1907. The
construction of other portions OF
the project will be continued as
may be found advisable under the
conditions which develop in the
future.
"One of the letters forwarded by
Senator Dubois makes charges
against Mr.. Ross to the affect that
he is interested in building up the
townsites which have been reserv-
ed in this project.
'Inasmueh as the lands involved
in these townsites are public lands
OF the United States and of the
state OF Idaho there can be no
foundation for a charge of personal
interest in these sites. 1t Is, of
course, understood that Mr.. Ross
is interested officially in the sue
cesful development OF these town
sites, as he is in every phase OF the
project.
at is known that Mr.. Ross has
no personal interest in any private |
lands affected in this project.
The entire difficulty in this
matter arises from the fact that de-
spite the warnings issued by the
department at various times, peo-
pie have rushed in to settle upon
lands long before any water could
be furnished. These people now
feel disposed to criticise anything
which might appear to them as in
terfering with the furnishing OF
water to the lands which they have
taken, regardless OF the many con
siderations affecting the proper de-
velopment of the project from an
engineering and financial stand
point"

REPLY TO PROTESTS
WaIcott Takes Official Statement as
to the 7inidoks and Payette-
Boise Reclamation Project.

In spite OF numerous protests
that have been filed with the inter
Tor department against the use OF
part OF the money set aside for the
AIinidoka project in the construc-
ton of work in connection with the
Payette- Boise project in Idaho, says
the Boise Statesman, the reclama-
ton service adheres to its announc-
ed plan, and will proceed with the
construction of both projects. The
intention OF the department is
again set forth in a letter address
ed by the director OF the geological
survey to the secretary OF the in
terror, in which he takes up pro-
tests from E. T. Barber OF Albion
and w. n. Shilling OF Minidoka,
which were submitted to the de
partment by Senator Lubois.
Mr.. Barber, aside from protest
ing against the division of the
Minidoka fund, alleges that Mr..
Ross, the local engineer in charge
of the reclamation work in Idaho.
has a personal interest in townsites
reserved in connection with the
NIinidoka project. The letters of
Messrs. Barber and Shilling were
transmitted to the geological sur
vey for investigation, and the report
ofthe director shows that theallega-
tions respecting the diversion of
funds is the result of misapprehen-
sion and that Mr.. Ross has no per-
sonaI interest in any private lands
affected by the townsites mention
ed.
The directors letter in part fol-
lows:
This is evidently the result Of
misrepresentation by the people in
terested in the Minidoka project.
The plans for the pumping devices
to irrigate lands above the gravity |
bitches have not yet been fully |
matured and the engineers are not
vet prepared to recommend the be-
ginning OF this portion of the work. |
"The situation was carefully con-
sidered by the board OF engineers
who met recently in Idaho in con-
ference with Governor Gooding and |
State Engineer Stephenson. These
latter Joined with the engineers in
a recommendation for the construc-
tion of the Payette-Boise project
upon the understanding that funds
would be available for the Payette-
Boise project, although not neces-
sarily by curtailing the work upon
the Minidoka project.
"The moneys available from the
reclamation fund viii probably en-
able the department to take up the
pumping portion OF the Minidoka

we shall see that old things are not
to be repeated. There will be a COM
bination of country and city life

New ideas will take root easily, and
new methods. The latest scientific
information will. be sought and ap-

shall have an age of real democracy
at least of growing democracy.
An Arcadian prospect this and one
which we all of us would like to see
come to its realization. Secured by
his enthusiasm. Mr.. Powell believes
that the beginnings Of this new
democracy of rural life must find their
inspiration from every walk of life.
The factory laborer must build him
self a home in the country, linked
with the city though it must be by the
speedy traction line. so that he can
escape, for a few hours at least, from
the moil and grind of machinery. The
professional man can afford to go still
farther afield and 'stablish his lares
and penates on some fair hillside,
where his children may grow rosy
checked and drink strength from the
soil. Rousseau redivivus with Parson
Wagner seconding.
PowelPs earnestness does not in
vite more than good-natured gibe,
however. To show just how one may
live in the country and at the same
time be self-supporting in large
measure he has written this book OF
generous compass full of practical
hints. He tells one how to choose the
site for a house, how to build that
house or renovate an old one that may
be on the property, what to plant in
the garden, how to raise Strawberries,
fight mosquitoes, feed hog, induce
the modest hen to procreate her kind

sary to live like another Virgil upon

this is because the author has sought

The usual thrill is not part of this
story. Perhaps we have been spoiled
by being led to anticipate such in
every tale of the kind, but certainly
its lack is hardly compensated for by
the introduction of the moral problem.
