No Basis of Comparison.
a Indianan0lis News

From the Indianapolis News.
 In the trial of a case in which Judge Pritchard, now of the Marion criminal court. was once sitting as judge pro tenn one of the attorneys referred to the limb of the law on the other side as greater scoundrel than his client.
 Naturally, this charge made a great commotion in the court. The lawyer charged with being scoundrel in this comparison was very wroth, both on his own account and on account of his client.
 'Is there anything in this case,' calmly asked the judge, "to establish the exact status of this client as a scoundrel? do not see that there is, Until that statue is established, there can be no just basis for a comparison Go on with the case.

An ex-Chief of Police of Bir- mingham presented a theatrl- cal and panoramic view yester- day leading a number of chil- dren (boys and girls) in excel lently bedecked conveyances, drawn by four horses each, and stopping them in front of sa- looms, there exhibiting by peculiar voice and oratory, his invectives against the said sa- looms. These saloons were closed, according to law, and their keepers were at home with their wives and children. Wonder if that ext Chief of Po- lice is not a candidate for re- election to office? According to views expressed by the Pro- hibitionists, Birmingham will need no police force if they win this fight.

MIR. MALONE ANSWERS
 WILSON BROWNS SPEECH
SHOWS THAT NEW REAL ESTATE FIRMS PAY MORE THAN ONE LICENSE TO THE CITY OF BlR- MlNGHAM.

''The charge made in a speech delivered by Wilson Brown of the real estate firm of Brown Bros. & Co.,, at the antl-pro- hibition meeting Friday night, that large number of those real estate men who favor prohibition do not pay city license. is utterly absurd said D M. Malone, member of the firm of w. N. Malone & Co.,, Saturday to representa- tive of the Birmingham News.
 Besides making a statement that ne knew to be utterly misleading, Mr.brown failed to display judgment in his attack, as his own firm is vulnerable to the same line of argument. Only Saturday morn ing after the question had been fully aired in print and it was positively as- sured that an investigation would be made, did Frank B. Fowlkes. member of the firm of Brown Bros. & Co.,, go to the city hall and pay his license Inis rather belated action on his part is sig niicant.
 "rhe truth of the matter is that put few real estate firms pay more tnan one city license although the firm may con tain several members. When I was en- gagged in the real estate business for my self I paid a license, but after I became identified with the firm of w. N. Malone & Co. w. N Malone paid the license:
 Among the real estate firms or the city that pay only one license might be mentioned D. E. IHpiipSp' G. Oliver & Co.,, Turner R. Weakley x Co.,, R. P. McDavid & Co.,, R. M. Me Cornell & Co.,, Beasley & Bro. " b. Leedy & Co.,. $. Betha & Co.,, K. F. Man lev & Co.,, W. N. Malone x Co.,, and T. l.. Angln & Go. These firms are all large and well known. Most of them con tain more than one member.
 1T | Davidson. one of the men whose name was on the list read by MT Brown at the anti-prohibition meeting. called at the city hall Saturday morning and forced the admission from the license col lector that his license had been paid Evi- dently the list prepared by the license collector for Mayor Ward was not en- tirelv correct, misleading though 1t was.
 "Dr Felix Tarrant, R. H. Hagood and T. S. Smith, and many others. while en- gagged in the sale of real estate are not reo,Iired by law to pay license. They sell only their own property and property outside the city and are not amenapie 10 the license law. As to J. l.. Fletcher he Is employed by Bailey & Howard, both or whom pay license"

and, being of vegetable extraction, are harmless to take.
 This pleasant mixture, if taken regularly for few days, is said to overcome almost any case of Rheu- matism. The pain and swelling, if any, diminishes with each dose un- til permanent results are obtained, and without injuring the stomach. While there are many so-called Rheumatism remedies, patent med icines, etc., some of which do give relief, few really give permanent results, and the above will, no doubt, be greatly appreciated by many sufferers here at this time.

CROWDED HOUSE.
STANDING ROOM AT PREMIUM
LAST NIGHT AT TEMPLE
THEATER.
On Two Cases of Deafness by the
Phenomenal Lafayette.

Another crowded mouse greeted the
second appearance of the Great Wal
ton and Phenomenal Lafayette last
night, every seat filled and people
standing up in every available space
showed that these two men had made
a favorable impression on the public
at their first attempt in Lewiston.
Tonight an entire change of pro-
gram will be given, the curtain will
raise promptly at SIS o'clock and
everybody that attends will be pre-
scented with a coupon ticket emitting
them to admission free on Thursday
and Friday nights of this week. Dur
ing the lecture, the Great Walton in
troduced Phenomenal Lafayette and
the demonstrations on two cases OF
deafness performed by this remark
able man in a few moments were GER
talnly a surprise to many in the audi
ence.
Mr.. ]. S. Martin, of Culdesac, who
has been hard Of hearing in his left
ear for Is years and could only hear
by the loudest tone Of voice, was made
to hear in a whisper in a few moments
by the application of some kind of a
preparation from a small bottle.
Mr.. Wilbur Wardwell, Of Boise. Ida
no, was also demonstrated on for deaf
mes in the left ear affected for 29
years, made to hear In a very low
! whisper in three or four minutes.
Such demonstrations as these will
certainly soon convince the most
skeptical that Phenomenal Lafayette
can accomplish the seeming impossi-
bilites attributed to him by the Great
| Walton.
The hours for consultations and ex-
aminations at the Raymond hotel are
from 10 to ~ in the forenoon and
and in the afternoon and everybody
must purchase a card in order to gair
admittance to the doctors office. Th'
cards are sold for the nominal price O

IRRIGATION ON
WOOD RIVER
Vast Tract of Land Re-
claimed by New
Project

HALEY, June ia staff corre-
spondent of the Boise Statesman says:
The Big Wood river project of the
Idaho Irrigation company of HALEY is
commanding attention because of it's
location, quality of land, abundant
supply of water and the plan under
which title to land and water may be
acquired. 1t is a Carey act PROPOSE
ton, under which the land proposed to
be irrigated is withdrawn from the
public domain and vested in the state
of Idaho, which, through it's state land
board, stands as sponsor for the enter
prise. The irrigation company pro-
Vldcs the water supply, establishing
the reservoirs, canals and laterals, and
sells the water rights to settlers who
acquire title to land through the state
board. The settler files application
with the state board for 40, so, 100 or
100 acres and pays the state SO cents
per acre for it, and when final proof
is made his title is conveyed by the
state. The irrigation company does its
work under the provisions of a con-
tract with the state and the work is
| finally subject to the approval of the
state land board and state engineer.
When the enterprise is complete
and the water rights are paid for, each
acre of land carries with it a water
right which is inseparable from the
| land title and the owners of the land
become the owners of the water and
of the system by which this is stored
and distributed.

Dam 700 Feet in Lenath.

Over 100 miles of canals and lat |
erals will be made to carry out the
system Of irrigating the tract. The
Big Wood river and the Malad. A
great storage reservoir, covering an
area of 5000 acres, is to be construct
ed just below the confluence of two
streams named. The reservoir site is
a natural and advantageous one. An
impounding dam, 700 feet in length
and 100 feet high, will be constructed
across the stream at the upper en-
trance to a canyon. Aside from this
the reservoir boundaries are natural.
This dam will be rock-fille0 and will
have a cement core. Against the body
of the dam will be filling Of earth
and gravel. The drainage conduit will
be through the cement. The dam will
have no overflow, but a spillway is to
be provided by carrying the overflow
water through a cut in the solid rock
to one side OF the dam. Two miles
below the main dam is the diverting
dam, by means of which the water
will be turned into the main irrigat-
ing canal This second dam is finish
ed and is 600 feet long, with spillway
similar to the one above mentioned.
The main dam, above described, will
be built this year. 1t is asserted that
water will be provided this season for
as much land as requires it.
The drainage area converging into
the Big Wood and Malad rivers ap-
proximates 1850 square miles and In
cludes the foothills adjacent to the
Big Wood and Malad valleys and the
mountain slopes of the Sawtooth
range. About one-half of this drain
age area is embraced in the govern
ment forest reserve. thus affording the
best possible protection to the sources
Of this great water supply. The Saw
tooth is the highest range in Idaho
and the immense bodies of snow thai
annually fall, covering the slope from
the crest to the foothills, remaining
till midsummer in the high gulche:
and heavy timber belts, give an effec-
tive guarantee OF a constant flow of |
large volume of water in the BIZ
Wood and Malad. These streams ar
made up of some eight or ten smalle
streams. draining that number o
gulches, finally concentrating in tn
main streams.

Land on Big Wood River.

The land proposed to be irrigated
under this project lies between the
Big Wood river on the west and the
Little Wood river on the east, partly
in Blaine, but mostly in Lincoln coun-
ty. The tract which will be irrigable
from the system of canals and lat
erals laid out contains an area of
about 10000 acres. This land has a
reasonably smooth surface, with a gen.
tie slope to the south. About two
thirds of the entire area is free from
sagebrush, and this means a saving of
IS per acre in clearing and leveling
the ground for planting and seeding.
The soil is a sandy loan from two to
20 feet deep and is the deposit of
the wash from the hills and valleys
whose drainage flows in this direction.
Much of the soil content is q volcanic
ash accompanied by a good deal of
| lime. In the main, it is a rather heavy
SOL and contains the elements that
favor the growing of grains, grasses,
| beets and fruits. Eight wells have
been sunk on the tract, from IS to
$50 feet in depth, and the writer is as
sured that the water supply obtained
is ample and of good quality.
