to mature their third crop of hay,
save their trees and alfalfa and get
through the season without any sub
stantial loss. During the years this
order was in force, there was no real
suffering from lack of water, though
the supply last year was smaller than
it is now. --...
at is impossible to issue any such
order at this time, and any such ar
rangement must be by mutual con-
time like this, with water from the
government dam in sight to supply
future demands, there should be
enough public spirit on the part of
the water users to see that the valley
does not entirely dry up before the
government works can be completed.
There is an especial reason for the
adoption OF this or some other plan
this year, in that the irrigation con
gress is shortly to meet here. We
all want the Boise valley to be look
ing her very best at that time, and
do rot desire the delegates to see
any farms that are going to rack
and ruin because of the lack of water
THE plan which / have suggested
10 a number of the Representatives OF
ditch companies is that meeting be
held of authorized officials or attor-
neys of the principal canals, and that
it be there arranged for such a divis
ion of the water as will tend to Sc
cure the result aimed at-the pres
ervation of the farms of the Boise
valley. The details could be best
worked out by the men at the head
Of the different canal systems, but
| believe no better plan can be Sc
cured than that of dividing the water
according to the amount of land tc
be covered .
1t is believed that the Ridenbaugh

will agree to such temporary arrange
ment. This will mean some sacrifice
by companies with prior rights, blu
the great general good to be accom-
! plished will certainly persuade then
to acquiese in the arrangement.

The extreme shortage of water in
many parts of the Boise valley has
1 persuaded Judge Stewart, before
whom the big water suit to adiudicate
the water rights of the Boise river
was tried, to take steps toward an ar
rangement similar to that used last
year. Then the court made an order
to distribute the water In proportion
to the land covered by the various
ditch and canal companies. IT is
now proposed that the big canal COM
panies mutually agree to the same
arrangement, as the matter is no
longer before the court the situation
cannot be reached by a court order.
For the purpose of reaching a con-
clusion Judge Stewart requested the
attorneys or principals to meet at
Boise yesterday At the time we go
to press it is impossible to state what
was agreed upon. In speaking of the
situation Judge Stewart says:
..'Our experience the past few
years has proven that during August
. there is not enough water in the
river to satisfy all the demands that
will be made upon it. This same
condition of affairs will prevail until
the government reclamation works
are completed, and arrangements are
made to store large quantity of the
flood waters. e.r
Under the decree in the water
case determining the priority OF
water rights, 1t was necessary to de-
eide that some rights were better
than others, and these prior rights
must, under the law, be provided for
n before others are considered But
II this is done, it will result in the
vegetation under some of the higher
bitches dying out. Something must
r be done to keep the trees and grasses
&,uptil the government is able to ster
in with its works and provide water
for all.
while the big water case was
pending in district court, an order
was made for such a division Of
water, and while 1t undoubtedly re
suited in some inconvenience in in
dfvidual cases, and some farmers
perhaps did not have water enough

The Renaedu For LunchinS.


GOVERNOR WAKEFIELD, of Maryland, has applied
the certain preventive and remedy of lynching The
border states are in terror lest the stake-burning
fever of the South should spread to them.
In Delaware last year negro was burned for
the usual crime. There has been the greatest ener-
gy and vigilance all along the border to prevent rep

Maryland has just made conspicuous and success.

The common cause for lynching is laxity, uncer-
tainty and delay in legal punishment of notorious
criminals The remedy for it is to give law some
thing Of the promptness and certainty of the more
orderly kind of lynchng. This is difficult in view
Of the tenderness shown by modern criminal statutes
of persons accused of crime. But Governor War

if he trying to break the law instead of toen

On the tenth of June a negro committed a
brutal assault upon two women the East Shore of
Maryland. He was caught in Virginia the next day,
guarded by Virgnian militia for ten days until it
was thought safe to take him to Baltimore arragned
there week later, tried in still another week. con-
vcted in three hours and sentenced to be hanged
the shortest time, twenty days later
He was in constant peril of lynching by bodies
organized near the scene of his crime, with the
celerty and efficiency of the old Ku Klux The state
was saved this shame only by the device of taking
him from jail at midnight of the 25th in state
steamer to barren island in the jurisdiction of the
county OF his crime, where he was hanged in the
morning before the neighborhood could be reused
This is better than lynching, but it seems pity
that sovereign state DO justice only by midnight

Mr.. SiNcZ0i7's Book.

CHANCE often plays an important part in the
lives of men. This is true of Upton Sinclair, the
young literary star who today shines 80 brightly be-
fore the general public of two continents. If Judge
Humphreys decision had been against the packers it
is extremely doubtful whether Mr.. Sinclair's book
would have attained anything like the popularity
it now has.
Since that important event, however, his book
has been cussed and discussed ridculed and lauded
by countless thousands of people, By socialists it
has been hailed with delight, and by anti-sociasts
it has been denounced as mischief breeder and an
arraigning of class against class. The critics. as
rule pronounced the book unliterary and could dis
nothing of merit of STYLE and fgeneral utility
in it.
"The Jungle" is socialistc propaganda from
cover to cover. 1t is tale of woe that appeals to
ones charity but it does not inspire one to do the
heroic to devote ones life toward changing these
barbaric conditions. Edward Bellamy's "Looking
Backward" gives the reader vivid picture of the
beautiful-what might be if men were reasonable
But Mr. Sinclair's book gives one the opposite view
He takes for his subject the lowest condition he could
possibly ind and palnts-wth a mop-a picture
that would do credit to Dantes imagination.
This book may contain much truth, but tits self
evident the author did not wish to convey the i'm
preston that there were thousands of people in
Packingtown who were living in comfortable circum
stances Of course if he had limited at this it would
not have served his purpose His object was topant
everything zimmerman hue, and the packers think
that he has performed his task we'll, as the outlook
for the sale of their products is rather black.

Jury Trial in China.
CHINA is about to adopt another of the impor-
prevailed for centuries among the
western nations. She now intends to grant her cit
the right of trial by jury. Heretofore the people
were contented with their mode Of administering
justice The judicial procedure in China is noted
for it's celebrity the world From the time Of
capture to execution, only brief time ntervenes.
It sometimes happens that after an execution has
taken place. it is discovered that the man executed
was innocent
In China, mandarins have authority to execute
malefactors Their power is absolute that
granted to the consuls of ancient Rome. No doubt
these mandarins have abused their powers, and have
been too hasty in ordering ones head to be cut off,
Perhaps this is what caused the progressive Chinese
to demand trial by jury This modernization is due
to the close contact in which the Chinese have
with western people, John Chnaman is slowly
forging ahead At present the Chinese are making
haste to initiate the progressveness of the Japanese
In few years China, too might surprise the world,
or at least give it substantial to respect it's
rights
