Artesian irrigation "GOeS.

A decision by the commissioner
of the general land office has been
received at the Boise office which
is Of great importance. 1t involves
a question that has not yet been set
tied in the courts. 1t is question
of water right. On June 22, 1902,
Sarah E. Keith made desert entry
No. 1873. Final proof was offered
at the Boise land office July 9,
1906, in which it was shown that
the desert land had been redeemed
by means of artesian wells. The
local land office held that title to
all waters in Idaho, whether surface
or underground, rested in the state
and that permit must be obtained
from the state for the use of water
from these artesian wells before
title to the land could be obtained
from the government. The COM
missioner of the general land office
holds that if water be obtained
from artesian wells located on the
land to be watered no showing oi
state appropriation is required ir
order to obtain government title
through the desert land act.

High School Entertainment Course.

Of the performance to be given in

Indiana state superintendent of pub

commend most heartily Lulu Tyler

audiences an entertainment of very
high order. In many respects she
exccls readers of wider rcpute, and
gives, on the whole, the most sat-

Little Camas Dam Completed.

General Manager Mortrude, of the
G.. w. B. S. Co., came down from
the hills Tuesday afternoon. He
reports that the Little Camas dam
was finished that day, it having
been raised fourteen feet this fall.
The reservoir will now hold forty
feet of water over a vast area.
The force that was at work there
was moved down yesterday to the
Canyon creek canal, few miles
above town, to clean out the gravel
that has accumulated in that ditch.
Tunnel work and flumc construc-
tion are still III progress, though the
snow will temporarily interfere
with the latter. Mr.. Mortrude says
that Tuesday there was some nasty
weather in the hills, reminding
him of the more pleasant winter
days in North Dakota. The snow,
fine and frozen, was on the wal
path, filled the turbulent air anc
pricked the exposed face like
| needles.

Garrett Talks of Project Here.

]. H. Garrett, manager of the
great irrigation project at Mountain
Home, is in the city. He states
the work has made good progress
and they are about ready to close
down for the winter, except on the
long tunnel, 700 feet of which re-
mains to be completed. They will
have everything completed in the
spr ing in time for delivery of water,
Mr.. Garrett statcs-in ample time
for the irrigation season. He feels
relieved to come to a resting place,
but will crowd on the finishing
touches at the right time and have
all in readiness for the business of
the coming season. The prospects
for Mountain Home, Mr.. Garrett
says, continue excellent and improve
every week. He has more conf
dence in the place than when he
entered upon the great work, which
he is now successfully bringing te
completion. Statesman.

Two Heavy SHOWS.

There have been two unusually
heavy SHOWS here within the past
week. This is not snow country,
and there is not cutter nor a set
of bob sleds in town. Tuesday
night snow fell to depth of five or
six inches, which, according to
Postmaster Turner, local authority
on ancient history, is the heaviest
fall known here, with a single ex-
ception. In January 1888, there
was ten inches of the beautiful on
the ground at one time, and that
broke all previous and subsequent
records. These heavy precipita-
tions of moisture makes glad the
hearts of irrigationists, as they con-
stitute the guarantee given by Ma
ture of abundant harvests next year.

IdahO's Great Resources.

R. w. Farris, chief engineer of
the Twin Falls Land & Water COM
pany, is registered at the Kenyon
while transacting some private bus
mess in Salt Lake city. He says
the Company's work on the south
side of the Snake river is now COM
pleted, with 100000 acres under
water, and the land is being set
tied as soon as it is ready for culti-
vation- Engineers are now at work
on the north side of the river, and
when the irrigation project is COM
pleted it will take in $50, 600 acres.
Idaho, with perhaps the greatest
diversity of natural resources of any
state in the Union, is at present
the least developed. said Mr..
Faris. Its possibilities are now
being understood and great strides
are being made in all directions
The state was passed over in tn,

A dispatch from Wallace dated
yesterday, says: The Steve Adams
case was postponed without date by
Judge Morgan this afternoon, inn
mediatcly following Adams plea of
not guilty to the charge of the muir
der of Fred Tyler. Judge Morgan
will probably adjourn court this
week so that Adams cannot be tried
before January, when Judge Woods
will be on the bench. The court

Biq Prices for Land Without Water.

M. 1. Church, register of the state
land office, returned yesterday from
Caldwell, near where he held land
sale Wednesday. The sale was of
about 1000 acres of sage brush land
on Sucker creek, about IS miles
from Caldwell. About half the
land was sold and Mr.. Church
says the bidding was good, consid-
ering the location of the land 1t
was all appraised at $40 an acre,
except one 4O-acrc tract, which
was appraised at $12. so. The sale
ncttcd from $40 up to $22.5o per
acre. ''Thc state realized very
handsomely for what land was sold
at this sa1c,' said Mr.. Church.
"There are no trees on any of it
and the land is located where there
is little prospect of getting water on
it for at least 10 years. 1t was
intended to include this land in the
Boise-Payette project and to water
it by means of a pumping plant,
which will probably be done some
time, but not for a number oi
years. .''-Ststcsman.

Twenty viii Arrive Saturday.

j. H. Garrett had intended t)
leave today for the east, on an inn
portant business mission, but on his
return from Boise yesterday found
a telegram awaiting him here from
G.. B. Thomas, Valley City, North
Dakota, stating that twenty people
had left that place for Mountain
Home and would arrive here Satur-
day. 1t is not known whether
these are people coming here for
the first time, to invest, or whether
they already own property here and
are coming out to settle perma-
nently. Mr.. Garrett will start east
as soon as he gives this party his
most distinguished consideration.

c. A. Beardsley, of New York,
an extensive operator in mines, has
been here for week or more. Ac-
companying him was o. E. Thorn,
of Pocatcllo. The latter is the
owner of the Gold King mine, at
Dixie. Sunday there arrived here
M. c. Brace, of Denver, a mining
expert of recognized ability through
out the west, and Robert N. Bell,
mining inspector for this state.
Messrs. Thorn, Brace and Bell left
Monday for the Gold King, to make
a thorough examination of that
property.
Now, it requires no clairvoyant
powers to see that a deal is pend
ing in that quarter. Mr.. Boards
ley is here to buy the mine, if the
report of these experts is favorable.
