The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1906-08-18

Last Saturday The Tribune called
attention to the plan proposed by
Judge Stewart of Boise for distrib-
uting the water in the Boise river for
the balance of the irrigation season.
The attorneys for the companies met
at Boise at the time specified and
agreed to an equitable plan of dis
tribution. Subsequently Judge Stew
art made an order Immediately car
rying into effect the plan.
The order is to the effect that for
the balance of this season each APP
proprietor 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 1t is believed that
under that arrangement the suffering
will cease and the season pass with
out any great losses to crops.
Some Of the big water users object
to the plan and have talked of taking
an apneal, but the great majority
seem to be very well satisfied.
Tho matter wac taken up at the re-
quest of attorneys for the users of
water under the New York. Riden-
hau@h, Settlers and Phyllis canals,
many of whom had been entirely out

mestic purposes. The water has been

: This state OF affairs caused many
of the later rights along the river to
be practically of no valne whatever
during August, and 1t was feared
that some of the vegetation on farms
having such rights would wither
away entirely, doing permanent dam
age to the Boise valley. Inasmuch

This road Is a genuine transconti-

loudly cheered. Mr.. Foran did not
make an extended speech. but it was
eloduently pointed. On motion the
report of the special committee was
unanimously adopted. r. A. Cowden
was called upon, as in the words of
Chairman Lowell, Mr.. Cowden lis a
doer of things" He said that the
most equitable means of raising the
money, which he knew of, was to
assess the people per cent of the
assessed valuation of their city prop
erty. Messrs. T. C. Egleston, How
ard Sebree, ii. ID. Andrews, C. S.
Doan, j. b. Gowen and w. II. Redway

ing the $4,000. Everybody favored
the scheme and 1t was adopted with
no unnecessary delay.
Committee Appointed.

and took the Mexican National at
Matamoros this morning for Mon
terey, and other cities OF the re-
public. Mrs. Carnohan and the
boy did not accompany him, but
returned to KingsHille this morn
ing, where the lady's mother is
sick. TIE HERALD wishes Mr..
Carnohan a pleasant trip and trusts
that a few days postponement will
not lessen his enjoyment of the
vacation.
A. Spero, proprietor of The
Famous, gents furnishings, etc.,
left this morning for New York to
buy a supply of fall and winter
goods for his trade. Spero says
there IS no need to send away for
goods in any line under the mis-
taken idea that the goods bought
away from home are any better or
cheaper than here. The merchants
of Brownsville can supply the needs
of the trade with the same goods,
often for less money than the mail
order houses and it is time he peo-
pie were finding out the fact. THE
HERALD has always contended
that to keep Brownsville money in
Brownsville was the best policy
and we believe this is true. 1t
is a mistaken idea that because
goods come from a distance direct
to the consumer they are any better
than those carried by the local mer-
chant.

afternoon from San Antonio, where

appears an article stating that the
commissioners court had raised
Vie assessment of the S. A. & A. p.
Ry. from $460,7 to $t,0S1,168,
and that the road had accepted the
raise. This has been proven to be
utterly false and that no such raise
had been made by the court. Two
of the commissioners, Messrs. Web

Mr.. Palfrey representing the rail-

statement, but Mr.. Meitzen failed

the actual facts remains to be seen.

CHANGES COMPLEXION
OF RECALL OF FORD
MANY NAMES ON THE PETITION
THROWN OUT
Valid Figures Now Reduced to Less
Than 500, Whereas 557 Are Neces-
sary to Make Special Election in
First Ward Mandatory

A happy smile hovered over the
countenance of Councilman Fred Ford
of the First ward yesterday. The city
clerk has already checked up about
half the signatures on the petitions
asking for his recall and found it
necessary TO throw out sixty of them.
This reduces the number to less than
500 and 5T are necessary to make it
mandatory on the part of the council
to call special election for council
man of the First ward. Besides which,
half the petitions have not yet been
checked up with the great register, and
1t is entirely probable that it will be
necessary to throw out more names be-
fore the checking is completed.
Those names that have been
scratched off the lists are either dupli-
Gated or they cannot be found on the
register They do not include those em-
bracing more than half the petitions on
which there is a reasonable doubt on
account of the failure of the notary
who made affidavit to the petitions to
date them.
Assistant City Attorney Hewitt yes
terday told the city clerk that as far
as he could learn in a hasty examina-
ton. the abseuce of the date ON these
affidavits did not necessarily inValidate
them, and the city clerk will check
these names with the others
1t is probable that should It be found
necessary to call an ees.ion Council
man Ford may question these affidav-
it's and call upon the courts to decide
whether or not they are void
From the checking that has so far
been done it is not believed that 1t win
be necessary TO hold an election for
councilman in the First ward until the
regular election I'm December.

SHEET HELD HUMAN OCCUPANT;
NEGRO THOUGHT HIM A GHOST

be in tomorrow and many of them will
want to sleep there" said Wright
AS the negro started away Wright
called after him:
Take that bundle of soiled bedding
up there and carry it to the laundry" F"
Lifts Wriggling Bundle
Then the clerk and the bailiff watched
while the negro entered the dormtory.
He walked over to the bed whistling
and then with one swoop he captured
the bunch of sheeting and man in his
arms and attempted to lift the bundle
from the bed.
He gave one tug and then dropped
the wriggling, squirming mass to- the
floor and watched it with terror-strick-
en- eyes.
First the sheet seemed to wriggle in a
thousand wrinkles and then the sheet
staggered and stood upright.
Horror stricken, the janitor watched
the bundle stand upright and then the
long, CHASTITY arms waved frantically.
The darky stood it for just moment
and then came yell that would startle
the dead and the sleeper turned a
somersault with the sheet and wriggleo
about on the floor saying things en-
tirely unprintable.
The janitor was last seen on his way
to Watts station, while the sobered
empoye left the court room vowing
vengeance.
