yon canal is circulating ! petition
among bench land owners with the
object of having the canal accepted
under certain conditions.
The document is said to be I
lengthy one and land owners should
be careful about signing it, or any
other paper, until it has received the
endorsement of the state land board
and the Canyon Canal Water Users
Association.
The state officials insist the canal
must be built according to contract.
The people should be satisfied with
nothing less. and unless they j>op-
ardize their interests by signing long
winded documents that may have
some hidden meaning concealed in a
verbiage of words, they will get it.

PRIZE FIGHTERS WON.
Slugging Tactics of Boise
Wins Basketball Game.

The next time the Emmett basket
ball team goes to Boise for game
they will take with them a hospital
and ambulance corps fully equipped
with all appliances for the sewing
up of wounds, cutting off Of limbs
and setting of fractured bones.
Within five minutes after the game
started, blood was flowing from
Critics nose, Harry Lingren was so
badly injured he was compelled to
retire from the game, John Hough
didn't have enough skin left on his
legs to make a decent muff1er for
the Goddess of Liberty on a 10-cent
piece, and Craig and Wells looked as
if they had been monkeying with
buzz saw with the usual results.
And to make the scene more dis
graceful, the members of the Y M.
C. A., under whose auspices the
game was held, howled with as much
delight as their champions brought
blood as a crowd of Mexicans are
wont to do at bull fight
Then, too. the hospitality extend
ed to the two carloads of Emmett
visitors was as frigid as the north
side of the Big Butte in the middle
of winter. The women and girls
were unable to secure seats in the
hall and some of the men folks were
denied admission to the game. The
only bright spot in the whole pro-
ceedings was the luncheon served
by the High school girls. They even
charged the Emmett crowd so cents
admission while Boise paid only 25c.
The game between the girls teams
resulted in victory for Boise. The
score was "a to 6. Emmett was
represented by Miss Graham at
center; Misses Cronk and Jarvis,
Misses Sinclair and Peery,
guards.
The boys game resulted in score
of 40 to 20 in Boise's favor. The
tactics of the Boise players
at the start completely discouraged
the Emmett team and not until the
second half could they gather them
selves together to show what they /
could do, but the way they rolled up r
the score took Boise off its feet, and I
scared the capital city lads, and it \
was the opinion of many that the v
Emmett team was the better of the n
:wo. The players were: v
Boise McBirney, center; Lehm- n
;uhl and Wyman, forwards; Pierce c
md Chase (captain), guards. t
Emmett-Crites (captain), center; S
Iough and Wells, forwards; Lin n
;ren and Craig, guards. a
