MAY ONLY TAKE ONE-TIIIRD.
Ruling to Tide Over Emergency In
Boise Valley.

Judge George H. Stewart yesterday
made on order of great morlent to
ranchers in the Boise valley and which
it is thought will be the means of saw
ing many thousands of dollars worth
of crops this season, narrates the
Boise Statesman.
The order is to the effect that for
the balance of this season each ap-
preparation of water taken from Boise
river shall be entitled to one-third of
the water allotted in the decree made
by the court last fall.
This order was made on account of
showings that water in the bitches is
now unusually low and that many
ranchers under last falls decree are
now deprived entirely of water; that
not only crops but also stock and in
instances families are suffering.
Under Judge Stewards temporary
adjustment everyone in the valley may
have one-third of an inch of water
per acre and it is believed that under
that arrangement the suffering will
cease and the season pass without any
great loss to crops.
Some of the big water users object
to the plan and have talked of taking
an appeal but the great majority seem
to be very well satisfied.
The matter was taken up and the re-
quest of attorneys for the users of
water under the New York, Riden-
bauah, Settlers and Phyllis canals,
many of whom had been entirely out
of water, either for irrigation or do
mestic purposes. The water has been
low III the river for some time and
under the division of water provided
for in the former decree. it was neces-
sary to allow those having prior rights
To receive their full allotment of
water though subsequent rights were
unable to secure any water at all.
This state of affairs caused many
of the later rights along the river to
be practically Of no value whatever
during August, and it was feared that
some Of the vegetation on farms hav-
ing such rights would wither away en-
tirelv, doing permanent damage to the
Boise valley. Inasmuch as the COM
pletion of the government reclamation
works, upon which work is now in
progress, promises a supply of water
for all the ranches now in the valley,
and probably many others, 1t was de-
sired that no permanent injury ba
done the valley during the process of
construction if it could be avoided.
There is now flowing in the river
something over 1000 cubic feet of
water per second, which is more than
sufficient to provide the entire valley
with one-third of an inch to the acre
The decree of last fall required 2755
second feet for the satisfaction of all
the water rights recognized, and it will
be seen that the river can fall about
100 feet or 5000 inches before the
watermaster will be unable to furnish
all the water required by the modfi-
cation of the decree.
The temporary order is to go into
effect Immediately

HEAVY INHERIrANce TAX
Advocated by Andrew Carnegie in New
York Speech,


New York--Andrew Carnegie, in an
address before the National Civic Fed
| Grafton Thursday said that he believed
the major portion OF the estates OF
enormously wealthy men should go 10
the state upon the death OF the pos.
| SCISSOR of the fortune. Mr.. Carnegie
opposed a graduated income tax.
Melville Z. ingalls, of Cincinnati
| addressed himself to The subject of an
income and Inheritance tax, especially
with view to limiting the large accu-
mutations of wealth in the possession
OF individuals. He said that there had
been In the last few years three pro-
life sources OF multi-millionaires
which are open to criticism These. he
said, were the tariff, illegal favors and
contracts given TO the shippers BY the
railways, and the securing by means
which were questionable. of contracts
at nominal prices for the use of the
streets of various cities for the pur-
pose of transportation and lighting. He
said that Illegal favors had been in
many cases wrung from the railways
by the shippers and said that this form
of evil had been used in combination
with the tariff
William d. Guthrie. lawyer, who
led the fight in the local courts against
an income tax, on constitutional
grounds. held that there must, under
American institutions, be equality OF
taxation.
Andrew Carnegie, who followed,
said that he was in hearty accord with
Mr.. Guthrie.
Il think an income tax would pene-
trate business to the core" said Mr.
% nUfa fptr trt

as to impose such tax. differ with
the President strongly ON the subject
of the income tax. But / am in a pc
culiar position on the inheritance tax
advocating that as something like get
ting n better distribution of wealth. =
The subject of wealth distribution
will not down"
Mr.. Carnegie said he believed, mas
much as the wealth properly belonged
to the community, tho latter on the
death of the possessor, should acquire
a great portion of the wealth, having
had large portion to do with its de.
yelopment.
Our country fails in its duty" said
Mr.. Carnegie, "if 1t does not exact
share, tremendous share, Of the es'
tate of the enormously wealthy upon
his death. The money belongs to the
community. Do not mistake me. | dc
not advocate the making of a man
pauper, or the pauperizing of his chill
dren, but 1t Is not the millionaire who
made the wealth. He did not make the
ore, or the coal or the gold that he dug
from the ground. The Montana cop
per mine owner did not make his
wealth. 1t belongs in the abstract to
the people who use it and who produce
the use which makes 1t valuable.

DUBOIS ON sMooT.
censures President for Assisting Nor
mon Republicans.

Washington.-The Senate Thursday
listened to the second speech which
has been made this session against the
continuance of Reed Smoot as sena
tor from Utah. 1t was delivered by
Senator Dubois of Idaho, who after re
viewing in detail the workings of the
Mormon Church and Mr.. Roots promi
nent connection herewith, concluded
with the charge that President Roose
welt used the weight of his administra
tion to assist the Mormon Republican
vote in the last election.
Mr. Dubois asserted the control OF
the church to be complete in the hier-
archy, consisting of the presidency
and the twelve apostles, of which Mr.
Smoot was one. This control, he main
tanned, was ecclesiastical, political and
commercial, and was exercised com
pletely over followers who come prin-
cipally from foreign countries. The
constant tendency, he said, was to
make the church and state one. with
the control in the church.
AS to Senator Smoot he said. 1t
made no difference whether he was OF
was not a polygamist. The senator
was a pillar in the church and in con
troll of it's temporal, spiritual and po-
litical policies, and was selected for
the Senate because of his position.
"Smoot," he said, represents the
church and not the state and would do
the bidding Of the church before he
would serve the real interests of the
state or of the nation. By being ar
apostle of the chuch. Smoot is mem.
ber of this high conspiracy. He Is one
of the chief conspirators. and by his
acquiescence supports the plans and
aims of the conspiracy"
The breaking down of the influence
of the church in politics, Mr.. Dubois
asserted, would do more than anything
else to put a stop to polygamy.

Fort Collins and Laramie Line.

Fort Collins.-The Denver, Laramie
& Northwestern Railroad Company has
filed certificate with the county clerk
naming Henry Apple as its business
agent in Colorado, giving his residence
as Denver. This company has pur-
chased and paid for the right of way
for a railroad for almost the entire dis
tance between Fort Collins and Lara
mie, Wyoming, and its officials state
that construction will be started on the
line as soon as the frost is out of the
ground in the spring and that cars will
be running between the two points be-
fore the winter of 1907.
The surveyed line of this road bears
northwesterely from Fort Collins, pass
ing through Park station, Virginia
Dale and thence on to Laramie. The
company expects to build through to

versities fears are often expressed
that personal contact between presi.

and pupils, will be lost, II II has not
been lost already; and that so the
best part of college education will

this condition has already come to

correspondence. One woman mentions
a professor who not only knew all
''his boys" while they were under his
instruction and helped them by per

course, but has. kept in touch with
every one OF them since they were

them all a letter, and nearly all of
them reply. The atmosphere Is al
most like that of one great family.
The misfortune of one is the concern

Heroines.

From the earliest times 1t has been
demanded of men that they shall be
Istrong and brave; as civilization ad-
lvances. 1t begins to be required that
they shall be gentle as well--be gen
itlemen. No less Is 1t true, although
less often recognized, that as the
standard of mans gentleness has been

danger threatened. the imperiled
heroine tainted, and the ever-ready
hero happened along and rescued her.
ia bundle of inert loveliness. When
trouble lowered, she did not brace
herself to meet IL; she poured forth
floods of feeble tears and pages OF
lamentations. Nothing more was ex.
spected of her. The modern woman,
III she does not always keep cool in
times of peril-and how often she
ldoes! and If we still forgive much
of her nerves, and her lesser training
Ito encounter danger, has learned at
least not to pride herself upon weak
mess. Swooning and Mysteries are
things to be ashamed Of nowadays.
Moreover, We have come to perceive
that there are circumstances in which
Ia woman Is bound to show courage
bound in honor, as man is bound
and is disgraced If she prove cow
lard. Even In the days OF fainting
loveliness some forms of heroism in
women were admitted and praised
that of the mother protecting her
ichildren, that of the daughter cour-
ageously standing by her parent, that
of the girl defending her lover. But
to-day says Youths Companion, wom-
zen recognize other and wider obliga'
tions; those of the nurse to her pa
tients, the teacher to her pupils, the
college girl to her chum, the fore
woman to her girls, the girl who can
swim or ride or run or shoot to any
person in danger whom her skill may
save. Whoever reads the daily pa
pers for what is fine in them, rather
than for what is sordid or horrible,
may recall score of recent incidents
illustrating the ready courage of wom-
len on behalf of others. And the rec
ord, already nobly ample, grows daily.
1t is a record of deeds as gracious and
womanly as they are heroic. Bayard
Taylor's lines-written of fighting
men abroad--are no less true to-day
of peaceful women at home who do
brave deeds.

SUGAR BEET PAYMENTS.
Large Sums pisbursed by Greeley, ga
ton and Windsor Factories.

Greeley.-Saturday payment for tht
November deliveries of beets was
made by the Greeley, Eaton and Wind
sor sugar factories. The Greeley fac
tory paid 100000; Eaton, s215.
600; Windsor. $4,000; total. sC04,
900. The monthly payroll fol
workmen at the three factories IL
$4,000, and the expenses 100000
which, added to the foregoing
makes a total of $4,000 put into cir
culaton by the three factories during
the last few days. The September de
livery Of beets brought s1S5.000, and
October s311, 900, which, with the
monthly payroll and expenses OF the
three factories. has made the three dis
tricts richer by S1,5O0,O00. 1t is quite
probable that the December delivery
will equal that of November and it viii
be February LIST before all beets are de
livered, which will prolong the sugar
campaign into March. All beets are
dug in northern Colorado and there is
a good prospect that practically al
will be used by the factories without
loss to the farmers from freezing OF
thawing.
The Beet Growers Association OF
the Greeley district met Saturday, with
$50 present, to consider making con
tracts for growing beets for sugar fac
tories next season. They united to a
man against SLIDING beets in the field
at $3.50 a ton, as offered by the sugar
company, as they claim the extra so
cents does not pay for the shrinkage
in sliced beets, to say nothing of the
extra expense of labor. The farmers
believe that if the factories wish to
have the beets sliced the work should
be done by the factories.
The growers also object to the
clause in the present contract which
requires a grower to wait until Octo'
ber goth to deliver unless ordered ear
lier, and desire the privilege of deliv-
ering beets by October 18th. A com
mittee was appointed to draft con
tract embodying the desires of the
growers and submit it TO the sugar
company.
Henry c. Watson resigned as pres
ident of the association and Charles
Mason was elected in hit place.
