RUSHING WORK
ON WATERWAY
Canal Connecting Little CamaS and
Long Tom Reservoirs
Nearly Completed

Several parties connected with
the construction crew in the hills
were in town last Saturday after
noon and Sunday. There are sbout
twelve men at work on the canal
and work Is being pushed on will
all possible sPoed. A. D. George,
one OF tho party stated to Mavericks
that fu1l head OF water wousd be
turned irfto tho canal FROM Little
Camas before the end Of the present
week.
CONSTRUCTION work has been
completed for some time,' he
stated tand water was turned in
several days ago, but only a very
small stream. There are many
crevices and faulty bottoms in the
canal which must be puddled and
filled in order that the water will
not seep through and go to waste.
We have only a little strca going
down at present and are following
it through and expect to have the
entire canal finished and a full
head OF water on before the end of
the present week. There is lots of
water in Little Camas and when
this added to the water already in
the lower reservoirs there will be
more water for irrigating purposes
than last year.
This report is encouraging and
comes from one who has been at
work on that canal for several
weeks. His statement regarding
the water supply is the same as
that of every one who has visited
the upper country and with a
little judgment in irrigating
this season and a little economy
there should be sufficient water for
everyone.

WEATHER SIGNAL SERVICE

At meeting of the village coun-

members that he had secured a
promise from Burton L. French to
furnish reports from the Govern
ment Weather Bureau, provided
the village furnished flag pole for
the display of the signal flag and
some one to care for same. The
councilmcn took favorable actor
on the question and as soon as the
arrangements can be made the re-
ports will be heralded by the wealth
or flags from prominent point in
the central part of town.
Such service will be of great val
uc to a large number of citizens,
especially those engaged in fruii

The vacancy caused by the resig-

other changes in the management
OF the plant. Instead of the man

Mr.. .Spangenberg is we'll qualified
to enter on his duties as manager
OF the plant. He is an expert cleo
trician and understands the busi-
ness thoroughly, having been con-
nected with large companies in
Chicago for a number of years
where he gained very wide exper-
ience. He is interested in an cleo
trical supply house in the city and
will at all times give the very best
service and satisfaction in his

and there by show good sense. Mr..
Garrett and Great Western have
no doubt made some errors and
promises not fully kept, but for all
of that he has been instrumental
in building up a splendid water
system, and certainly very great
factor in building up your hustling
town which in five years will
reach the 5000 mark. Then, too,
the farming country around and
tributary to Mountain Home is be-
ing settled by splendid lot of sue
cessful people, who were brought
there because of the water being
available to water the land, which
otherwise was worthless. Every
man or woman in your thrifty town
should either boost for all the town
or move out. Our beautiful city of
Minneapolis motto is, Mime
spolis Makes Good and Noun

ject will make good too, if you
Will all pull together.
Yours sincerely,

A show Worth While

The best show that ever visited
Mountain Homo held forth at the
Garrett last Monday night. The
play was comedy, devoid of gun
play and killings in the first act
and furnishing an evening of
laughter and enjoyment seldom seen
in towns of twice the size of
Mountain Home. Manager King
should be congratulated in securing
this high class company and in his
efforts to offer sufficient induce
ment to secure them for a return
date year hence when they come
through this part of the country.
Such shows should be patronized
and encour aged by the community
We hope to see them at the Opera
House again.

The big double wagon loads of
wool have been comig into town

unusuat and interesting sight to
the eastcrner who has lately arrived
an the west. The eight and ten

about two months ago, and said
he was going east.
The signature to the telegram re-
ceived at Santa Ana is not under
stood. When Carpenter left this
state his wife remained in South
ern California.
Somebody started the report two
weeks ego that Carpenter had gone
away with a former resident Of
this end of the county. but the
Tribune knows it to be a fact that
the party referred to few days ago
visited friends in this county. If
he left the state with a woman it
was some other person.
A Santa Ana correspondent sent
the following report to Los An
geles paper;
"Mr. Carpenters resiknation as
county school superintendent came
as great surprise to his friends
as he had jntimated TO no one that
ne eveH ssiitSfilbiatSd such action.
Family troubles are said to tiats
been responsible for this step and
his sudden departure.
"a story which has been cur

strengthened by the receipt by r.
A. Winhbigler, secretary Of the
Elks, OF message asking that $500
be forwarded for preparing and
shipping the body to Los Angeles,
and to draw on Mr.. Carpenters
account at the Fafmers' and Mer-

Owe have secured the opening
of the Idaho State Sunday School
convention at Boise before going to
press. This is the 18th annual ses-
sion and the very sanguine expecta-
tions of the leaders were more than
realized by the large delegation at
the opening session. Nearly 200
were present and it is thought this
number will be greatly inS reased
as the real attractions of the con-
vention do not appear until Thurs
day. Marion Lawrence as speaker
and Prof. E. o. Excel as choir

Considerable sensation and specu-
lation seems to Surround the death
OF w. R. Carpenter who died at
the home Of Mrs. Longfellow in
this city about two weeks ago. He
came here with a woman he repre-
sented to be his wife and who has
since turned out to be one of the
many possessed by this man. He
left wife in California and came
here with another woman he seems
to have become infatuated with in
search of land ard seclusion. Soon
after his arrival he was stricken
with spotted fever and d led in g
very short time, His remains were
returned to Los Angeles for burial
Tho following from a paper from
his home town explained much OF
the mystery that surrounds the
death and conduct of Carpenter
A telegram was received here
Monday announcing that Prof. w,
r. Carpenter had died of spottsd
fever at Mountain Home, Idaho.
The message came to E. w. Hem
phil, but gave no further particu-
lars, from asking what should
be done with the body. The body
was ordered shipped to Los Angels.
1t seems thst no ono in this coun-
ty had heard of the illness of Mr..
Carpenter. He left Santa Ana sew
eral weeks ago and his family is
now in Long Beach.
A telegram was received from
Idaho by Theodore Winbigler of
Santa Ana stating that the body
would be shipped to Los Angeles
for interment. This telegram was
signed ''Mrs. w. r. Carpenter"
Mr.. Carpenter was the first
principal of the Fullerton high
school, holding that position here
fol- thirteen years and up TO the
time he was elected county school
superintendent.
He resigned from that office

BIG MEN COM
ING TO IDAHO
Leslie M. Shaw. Former Secretary
of Treasury. Nay Be AmOug
Party Of 40

Boise. April 6.-Some of the
biggest men Of the east will be
among those who will be members
of the party of bankers and officials
of big bonding houses who are to
leave Chicago on the evening of
May 1o and come to southern
fdsf1o for a y eek's stay during
which tine the visitors will look
ovsf Idaho's irrigation and other
pr6jects. The visit of this party
will be by far the most important
to this section of any visit OF east
erners in the past.
Information given yesterday by
c. B. HURT, who visited many of
those who are coming when he
was east, shows the importance of
the visit and gives a line on the
personnel of the party, showing that
big men ar ecomine. 1t was stated
that Tom L. Johnson, mayor of
Cleveland, Ohio, one of the fore
most men in the public eye, will be
one of the party, while it is con-
sidered probable that Leslie M.
Shaw, former secretary of the
treasury will come. Mr.. Hurtt
stated also that David R. Francis
of ST. Louis exposition company
will also be one of the party. In
addition to these there will be
number of other leading citizens of
the east, south and middle west,
in all numbering, 40 men of
wealth and ability to do things.

W|LEY'S REPORT TO
WATER COMMITTEE
Waters of Lime Greek Can Be Diverted to
Canals About Mountain Home
for Irrigation.

AS might be expected, yesterday
issue of the 'Backmailer' con-
tanned certain quotations from a
letter from A. ]. Wiley, under
da.e of April 80, 1908, directed to
the Water Users Committee, the
letter being in answer to certain
questions propounded and a request
by the committee to investigate
the filings and appropriations of
the water from Lime creek. The
comment of the Republican winds
up with a statement that it is be-
1ievcd that the court would holding
to the filings of the Great Western
Beet Sugar company that were reg
'ular and proper, providing its
works Of diversion did not in any
way lessen the normal flow Of the
streams below This is the exact
kind of imbecilic dope that might
lbe expected from Culver, therefore,
we print Mr.. Wiiey's letter verba-
tim. -.--- -~ --~
Boise, Idaho. April 80, 1909
ITO the Water Users Com
mittee of Mountain Home, Idaho.
Dear Sirs:
At your request, have investi-
gated the rights of the Great West
ern Beet Sugar Company to the
waters of Linn creek and find the
following conditions:
The last filing made for the
Great Western Beet Sugar Com
papy was ou October u.s. 1902,
for ZOO second feet of the waters
of Lime Creek On May IL, 1905,
Harry LeBar filed on 500 second
feet of the waters of Lime creek
for power purposed to be diverted
about 4 900 feet above the mouth of
the creek. He has until July
1909, to make proof of completion
,of works, and his filing appears to
be perfectly regular. On the face
of the records LeBar's right ap-
pears to be the only valid right at
present existing on Lime creek
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1908-05-07

and his claim is practically for the
entire flow of the stream at average
high water. 1t is to be noted,
however, that the filings of the
Great Western company were all
ways made in groups of three for
the waters of Cat creek, Little
Camas and Lime creek, and it is
we'll known that the diversion of
Lime creek has always been an
integral part of their plans. They
have expended large amount of
money in continuous work, and
now have effected the diversion of
Cat and Little Camas upon the land
in the vicinity of Mountain Home
and Sunnyside. The remaining
step is the diversion of Liza creek
into the drainage of Cat creek and
thence by the a1rea iy constructed
channels to Mountain Home and
Sunnyside. The decisions of our
state supreme court have always
been extremely liberal toward irri-
gation interests In similar cases
a. feel satisfied that, In this
inst ancc, such strong showing
CO Id be made of intentions end
good faith that the court would sus.
tain the priority of the Great West
crn company dating back to it's fill
ing of October IS, 1902 on the
ground that the work done since
that time was all part of general
system. This would also apply to
any latter rights on the lower
Boise acquired by the Reclamation
service. In any event and regard
less of the decision of the court,
l do not think you need fear any
interference with your rights on the
flood waters of. Lime creek from
any one except from Harry LeBar
or his successors. am not in
formed as to the condition of his
enterprise or whether he would be
disposed to contest your right to
divert the flood water. A very per-
