BRADY DENIES RUMORS.

Once For All He Announces His
Stand i'm Favor of the Election of
w. Il. Borah, Choice of POcatello
COnyentiOn-Rumor False.
A recent press dispatch from Spo-
kane, sent out during the progress
of the land fraud cases at Moscow,
contained the statement that wise
politicians effect to believe that ].
H. Brady and his friends are at

When Mr.. Brady's attention was
called to this dispatch he authorized

Pocatello Tribune:
Ever since the Pocatello conven-

DISTRICT COURT SAYS COUNCIL
CANNOT BUILD THE CITY HALL
INJUNCTION GRANTED BY JUDGE STEWART--NO ORDINANCE
PASSED. PROCEEDINGS IRREGULAR IN MANY
RESPECTS--lONG DELAY WILL
NOW OCCUR.

Judge Stewart. of the Third Ju-
dicial District, handed down his de
cision Saturday last, in the case of
A. F. Evett Co. against the City of
Caldwell. The case was heard a
week ago Wednesday, Mr.. T. E.
Buckner representing the City and
Mr.. MacLane of the firm of Stone,
MacLane and Compton, represented
the plaintiff. The plaintiff asked
for an injunction, restraining the
mayor, city council and city clerk
from entering into a contract with
Messrs, Harding & Williams for the
construction and erection of a city
hall in the City of Caldwell The
injunction was granted. On Novem-
Der 80 Judge Smith, of this court,
issued an order requiring defendants
to show cause before him on Decem-
Der S, why such retraining order
should not issue. BY agreement of
parties, the matter was transferred
to Judge Stewards court for hear
ing.
For the reason that defendants
made no return to the order requir-
ing cause to be shown why the re-
straining order should not issue nor
filed any demurrer or motion ad-
dressed to the petition, the hearing
was on the petition alone. The pc
titioner contended that there had
been no ordinance passed authoriz-
ing the building of city hall; that
no appropriation had been made by
the city council for that purpose;
that the city engineer had made no
estimates of cost for such a build
ing; that the bid of Harding & Will

ENGINEERS IN SALT LAKE.

>o"'th't VI ENpeTtS VII lFoDicIhS
of Reclamation In Arid States
Needs of Service viii be Discussed
from Every StandpOint-Expend
ing Millions a Month.
The leading engineers and legal
experts of the Reclamation service
are in session at Salt Lake this
week Mr.. d. w. Ross. of Idaho, is
there. The Salt Lake Tribune has
the following account of the meet
ing:
For the purpose of discussing the
many perplexing problems that are
to confront Uncle Sam in the COM
pletion and operation of the irriga-
ton projects in the West, there gath
cred in Salt Lake on Monday about
fifteen of the Government engineers
and others engaged in the Reclama-
ton service. All-day sessions will
be held today and tomorrow in the
offices of the geological survey in the
Commercial club building. An in
formal meeting was held yesterday
but the conference proper will not
be commenced until this morning.
Full Discussion.
The meeting will be presided over
by Assistant Chief Engineer A. P.
Davis and the needs of the Reclama-
ton service will be discussed from
every standpoint. Every one of the
many different irrigation projects
is said to be governed by different
conditions; the details of the man
agement of the projects during the
ten years in which they are in Gov
eminent control; the handling and
distribution of the funds received
from the sale of the lands; what
shall be accepted by the Govern
ment as security for the payment
for the irrigation waters, and many
other questions of equal magnitude
will be threshed out by these skilled
and professional lieutenants of I'm
Gle Sam.
The reclamation service is ex-
pending over 100000 every
month in the arid States; more than
5000 men are in its employ and an
other 5000 are in the employ of con-
tractors doing jobs. for the service.
These figures alone prove that all
the reports have not been in the
least exaggerated and that this re-
claiming of the arid West is going
forward with strides and bounds,
but still another fact which shows
more clearly what has been accomp-
lished by the Government engineers
is that the excavation accomplished
to date on the various irrigation pro-
jects is equal to two-thirds of all the
excavation that will be required on
the Panama canal.

PIONEER MATTERS.

Small Land Owners Discuss Present
Conditions in This District-Says
Board of Directors are IncOmpe-
tent-Have not Grown With the
Country-What Are the People to
Do?
Caldwell, Idaho, Dec. IL, 1905.
Editor of the Caldwell Tribune,
Caldwell, Idaho.
Dear Sir:-There was one matter,
and a very important one, that
noticed in the proceedings of the
board of directors of the Pioneer Ir-
rigation District, one that | did not
mention in my former letters, that
Will bring up now. Where does the
board of directors get its authority
to rent the water that belongs to
the land owners of the District?
And, IL they have the right to rent
the water, 1t seems to me that it was
worse than folly for people to rent
water when they did not have
u
the present management could not
make II fill the bill; II the District
rents water to an outsider, they are
under obligation to furnish it to
them as long as there Is that amount
of water in their ditch, 1t matter not
whether or not there is any left for
themselves. The District Is one par
ty and the renter an other; | sug-
gested in my first letter that It looked
like mlsmanagement; | know now
from what shows up In the published
proceedings of the board. and the in
formation that the Tribune" so
kindly furnished the dear people,
In It's columns. Il refer to the facts
gathered from the records), that
there is gross mismanagement, 1t
seems to me to be either a neglect
of duty; a willful neglect; or the
management Is wholly incompetent.
Here are the facts that are before
me. that proves to me that these
conclusions are correct.
$4,000 inches of water for $500
acres of land and can not supply
the people with water; short of wa
ter according to their own statement,
and then rent water to people not IN
the District. Being very illiterate
and not wishing to use cuss words,
| am at a loss for words to express
my Indignation. at such work II
seems to me II was trying to man
age the affairs of some one else, as
these men are: and make such a dis
NAL failure as they have, and not
know 1t as have right to pre-
sumo they do not. I would be glad
to have some friend call me to one
side and advise me to quit the job.
But Mr.. Editor. we of course should
not be too hard with these men, we
should look upon them with the
eyes Of Christian: be charitable

James Mcfarland, western man

no particular significance, he states;
he simply wished to look over some

Mr.. Mcfarland is very much

reelected. He is one of those who
realized that it was of the highest
Importance that the governor be sus-
tanned at home, as he knows Exactly
the character of campaign that was
waged against him by certain ele-

For some reason the Denver pa

election of the governor in time for
their Wednesday morning issues.
The dynamite papers came out with
red headlines giving voice to jubila-
ton over the supposed victory, and
the others did not have the real facts
of the case. Consequently the news
was very discouraging, but wha1 the
facts were published, the gloom was
dissipated quickly.-Boise States

SIXTH DISTRICT SENATORSHIP

by the way is St Glars leading candi-
date for the senate at this time.
We feel that the giving of the senator
ship 10 St Clair will encourage the de-
mocracy of the county, will greatly
strengthen the party in the November
election, and in that way better assure
the election of Burnett Of Etowah And
again, continued Judge Foreman, 1 want
you to remember this talk about the NOM
nations for the state senatorship they
have given rs. especially at such times
as 1898 and 1902, the writer of that article
has forgotten that in 1902. when St. Clair
had gone for Smith after one of the
hardest fights in the history of the coun-
ty of Etowah, went for his fusionist OPP
ponent who resided in Etowah, by a
majority which overcame Smiths ma
1ority In st. Clair and resulted in his de-
feat And in that election the other cam
didates on the ticket carried Etowah
county.
Just another word, please continued
Judge Foreman, we have been good to
Etowah. We have been faithful to Bur-
nett of Etowah for Congress since 1898;
we stood by o. R Hood of Etowah for
delegate to the constitutional convention
from the Seventh congressional district
in 1900; we did the same for Hubert T.
Davis of Etowah for delegate to said con-
vention from the Sixth senatorial district;
we went overwhelmingly for I. w. Hill Of
htoWah Tor supefmtenuent VI euucalioh
in 1902; we supported John l.. Bur
nett of Etowah for Congress in 1904;
James A. Bilbro of Etowah for
circuit Judge in 1904 R. A. d. Dunlap
of Etowah for chancellor in 1904, and
John A Inzer of Etowah for circuit solc-
itor in 1901 And today Etowah besides
having a candidate for state senator,
has running John L. Burnett for Congress
and James A. Bilbro for associate justice
of the supreme court. We like the people
of Etowah and are glad to support the
splendid democrats they put out for Of
flee, but we feel that they should gener-
ously concede us the senatorship at this
time--it Is a small request that we are
making. and we believe that there are
those in Etowah who recognize our
claims-if not our claims, the policy and
fairness of yielding the senatorship to st.
Clair. p. B. GRACE.

C. A. since its establishment last May
has been issued, and it reflects great
credit not only upon the Officers but the
membership as well, which is composed
mainly of the young men of the city The
report is divided into four departments,
the religious, educational. social and
physical. The Sunday afternoon meet
ings show a total attendance of 953, while
in the physical classes and gymnasium
work the attendance numbered 935. The
membership of the association is 1853, and
is increasing rapidly and at the present
rate of increase full 100 more names Will
be added before the LIST of January. Steps
will have to be taken at once to secure
larger quarters, the present location
is already overcrowded
report reached here today from Loop,
a town in Cherokee county, about thirty
miles from this city, saying that the gen.
eraI store, owned by j. A. Kennedy, and
In which the postofflce was located, was
destroyed by fire last night. 1t is thought
that the fire was of incendiary origin, as
an investigation showed that the post
office safe had been tempered with.
Prof j. A B. Lovett, candidate for
commissioner of agriculture, spent the
dav here in the interest of his campaign.
He expressed himself greatly pleased with
his reception in this part of the state.
He has many warm friends in this city
who value his worth very highly.
The town of Boaz, on Sand mountain,
has entered most emphatic protest
against the annual horse-swappers' con-
ventions which have been held there for
a number of years. These gatherings have
become disgrace to the community, and
the good people of the progressive little
city will not tolerate them in the future.
Many of the most lawless element OF sew
eral counties have gathered there, and
have created a reign of debauchery and
drunkenness which has in several In
stances resulted in murder.
Postmaster stephens has been notified
of the shipment of a canceling machine
to he used In the office here. The installa-
ton of this machine was made necessary
by the greatly increased business done,
and will add greatly to the prompt hand
ling of the mall.
TWENTY-FIVE Greeks, a part of colony
residing In Alabama City, and employed

bewilderng array of unpronouncable
names II Is said that about this many
more will make application before the
new immigration law goes into effect. The
employment of these Greeks in cotton
mills is something new in the south ana
so far they have proven satisfactory and
give little trouble.
