right to the food waters OF Lime
creek is still good under the old
filing, he still advises that a
new filing be made. 1t will
also be noted that the Doctors
letter deals only with matters
appearing on the records at the
State Engineers Office. A suf-
ticient right to the flood waters
is shown there, he thinks, but
he does not pretend to say what
that will mean to the system.
He expresses no opinion as to
how much water that will give
US, nor as to the practicability
of diverting it or storing it.
There is undoubtedly a great
flow OF water in Lime creek, but
how much of it will this flood
water right actually give us?

The Megaphone takes excep-

week regarding DR.. Wiley's let
ter to the committee appointed
by the water users to investi-
gate the Lime creek proposition.
The particular language objec-
ted to was that regarding the
water that was available from
Lime creek. Our statement
was, that he (Dr. Wiley) be-
lieved that the courts would al
low the company to proceed un-
der that filing, provided that its
works of diversion did not in
any way lessen the normal flow
of the stream below. This Ian.

his letter, to-wit, that there
would probably be no question
but that the Company could

In dlsposlng OF a case, Wnef-
in one Harry Warburton was
charged with the all too COM
mon offense of stealing a news
paper after being delivered by
carrier, Justice Savadge of
a Boise court, said:
1.-THE offense with which you
were charged, and to which you
entered a plea of guilty, was
that of larceny. The punish
ment under our statute might
be a fine of $500, or six months
in Jail, or both. The market
value or the actual cost of the
article that you stole is most
insignificant, but to those who
need it and to those who ap-
preciate it, it becomes of great
value. It is like a ray of light
in a sick room, or a drop of
water to a thirsty flower. The
modern up-to-date newspaper
to-day is the poor mans friend
and the busy mans guide.
eve may not be ableto teach
a man of your age and habits
to read it, but we will prevent
you and others from depriving
us of it's benefits. In stealing
it you enrich yourself not at
all, for you have no comprehen-
sion or appreciation Of the wide
information and friendly greet
ling and benefit that it brings.
For, although a pity, it is true
that a man who has the brass
and abandonment to steal a
newspaper, has not brains
enough to read it.
"The newspaper comes to us
as a friend; it greets us every
morning and every evening and
advises us of the news of the
day and of the ships that pass
in the night. There is no civil
ization and no happy home in
our land to-day without the
newspaper.
"The prospector, the miner,
the herder, the forest ranger
and even the criminal who is
trying to escape justice, will
ride for miles and miles over
rough mountain trails to get
from the little wooden box
nailed to a tree the newspaper.
1t tells him of home and friends
and if all are well; it tells him
of sickness or of fortune, or of
the condition of the market. It
! is food and thought and joy to
! to him; he welcomes it as his
, teacher and his friend. 1t
} gives him and every intellec-
: tual man, woman and child a
sort of hand-hold on the doings
of the day and the pulse of the
country. And yet you will steal
that little budget of news and
sell it, or trade it, or exchange
it, with all its teachings and
: benefits, for a drink of whisky,
: for that which only blights, de-
: stroys and brings more dgrk-
ness and more ignorance and
J shame.
'1n all kindness, Mr.. Warbur-
ton, and sincerely hoping that
: the experience will be helpful
: to you and others, l will allow
you to go your way, for we
have no punishment quite COM
mensurate with the offense.
: And as long as mercy and JUS
tice 60 hand in hand, and this
: matter presents itself as it does
: to me, / am going to give you a
larger measure of mercy than
justice.
81 hope your case may serve
as a lesson to others, for while
} you have been let off easy OF
. her offenders will not be dealt
!. with so liently. This matter
of stealing newspapers must be
stopped, and this court will aid
in preventing further acts of
the nature which has brought
{ you into this court"

ninety.nine years Concerning
your fifth question, "What explain
alton have you to offer regarding
your misrepresentation OF the
court proceedings III which one OF
our principal enterprises, the Noun
tam Home MAJ. ufac.uring com
pany, was concerned?", we would
say first that there was no misrep'
resentalion, and hence we have
nothing to explain.
"Finally, 'If you do not like
Mountain Home and her people,
and do not wish to live here as a
peacea BILE citizen should, why don't
you move on. We can spare you, and
your escape would not b. matter
OF serious loss or regret on the part
Of the people who are tired OF your
dirty methods of carrying on

hard question to answer. In the
first place we have been under the
impression that we rather liked
Mountain Home and her people.
In fact we came TO Mountain

Mrs. McLennan played difficult role,
one of the longest of all the company

a part that most amateurs would have
